Seeking Editor Review Commentary (If You Like)

Hi. In conjunction with my RfA (that you voted on), I have created an editor review, to give people a chance to comment as to ways in which I can branch out or alter my contributions to Wikipedia. An RfA seems to solely focus on how one's temperment and contributions relate to how they might handle administrative powers (and the consensus on that seems to be that I'm not quite ready); the editor review opens things up a little more to a larger focus, and I'd love to hear community feedback in the sense of that larger focus, too. If you feel you've already expressed yourself sufficiently when casting your vote, then by all means don't worry about it, but if any thoughts come to mind or if you'd like to expound upon any suggestions or commentary, it would be appreciated. In any case, I appreciated you taking the time to express your opinion on my RfA, and I thank you for that. — WCityMike (talk • contribs) 19:54, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Blnguyen's RfA

File:Atlanticpuffin4.jpg

Hello Gurch. Thank you for your full support and gracious comment at my request for adminship which ended at the overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0), and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation. You can see me in action and observe what then happened as a result. If you need admin assistance, feel free to ask me. Naturally, if I make any procedural mistakes, feel free to point them out. I look forward to working with you in the future, hopefully as an admin. In the meantime, enjoy the English summer!! Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 03:50, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Thanks

Gurch, thank you for participating in my RfA. Unfortunately, a great number of oppose voters felt that I lacked experience, and a consensus was not reached (the final tally was 30/28/10). Perhaps I will try again in another few months when I have a few more edits under my belt. If I do, I hope I can count on your support. Thanks again! Cool3 talk 20:47, 2 June 2006 (UTC) (UTC)

A haiku of thanks

Thanks for your support

In my RfA, which passed!

Wise I'll try to be.

I'm really honored that you think I'll make a great admin, and plan to live up to your expectations!

My RfA

Thank you for the trust that you had in me when you supported my Request for Adminship. The nomination ended successfully and I am actually overwhelmed by the support that I received. Thanks again! -- Kim van der Linde ^{at venus} 07:07, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

My Thanks

I wanted to drop a brief note on your talk page (one admittedly not written to you only, but nevertheless truly meant) to thank you for your vote in my Request for Adminship, which concluded this evening. Even though it was unsuccessful, it did make clear to me some areas in which I can improve my contributions to Wikipedia, both in terms of the areas in which I can participate and the manner in which I can participate. I do plan on, at some point in the future (although, I think, not the near future), attempting the process again, and I hope you will consider participating in that voting process as well. If you wish in the future to offer any constructive criticism to me, or if I may assist you with anything, I hope you will not hesitate to contact me. Thanks again. — WCityMike ^(T | C)  ⇓ plz reply HERE  (why?) ⇓  04:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Adminship nomination

Good luck! Deleterious 04:27, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

As I've made my concerns known on your nominator's talk page, I'll repeat them here. Right now the noms give an impression of bad-faith (due to the lack of nomination text, as well as the repeated additions to the RFA page despite proper procedures being very clear). If you intend to accept, I urge you to turn it into a self-nomination by describing yourself. NSLE _(T+C) at 04:45 UTC (2006-06-05)

Apparently it has to do with IRC (as it was you, gurch and chequers, all of whom were in #wikipedia at the time) --Rory096 07:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Now that Werdna has taken over the nomination, I'll accept and let it run – Gurch 09:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

My RFA

Thanks

Gurch, thank you for participating in my RfA. It passed with an amazingly unopposed 77/0/1. Thanks for the support everybody! If you see me doing anything wrong, want to ask me something, or just want to yell in my general direction, leave me a note on my talk page. I promise to try and knock out Wikipedia's problems wherever I may find them!

Thank You

Thank you for supporting my Request for Adminship! I appreciate it and will do my best to maintain the faith you have shown in me! – Ben W Bell talk 07:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Cent

Hello, I see you've recently edited {{cent}}. This is quite all right and I encourage you to help keep it current. But please don't forget to log your changes at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Template log. This will help us stay all on the same page -- no pun intended. Thank you.

Marienburg Catle

Your remark "keep as redirect from plausible typo ...but fix double redirect" for Marienburg Catle will get interesting if someone names a breed of cattle like this. Well, less joking, only a typo from Norum is preserved. Most likely people will type -berg instead of -burg, or try c/C. --Matthead 11:36, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Hello, Gurch, and thank you for voting on my recent RfA! With a final vote of 84/1/4, I have now been entrusted with the mop, bucket and keys. I will be slowly acclimating myself to my new tools over the next months, but welcome any and all feedback and suggestions on how I might be able to use them to help the project. Thanks again! Kukini 05:21, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

You are now an administrator

Congrats! Your request for adminship passed with 64 supporting to 1 oppose, which is equal to an 98.4% support to oppose ratio. I have now promoted you to administrator, which means you now have access to several neat administrative, cleanup and upkeep tools at your disposal.

As a new administrator, you should read relevant policies and pages linked to the administrators' reading list before you carry out tasks such as blocking users, deleting and protecting pages, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Remember that most of what you will be doing will be easily reverted by other admins, apart from page moves and image deletion. I personally suggest reading the administrators' how-to guide in order to learn some of the ropes. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask me for help. Welcome to adminship!

Congratulations on your new mop! Sango123 17:17, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations Gurch, I know you're going to do a great job. Enjoy toiling away with the mop and bucket. Best, Gwernol 16:21, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations!--SomeStranger^(t|c) 16:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Congrats! Have fun using your shiny mop!--Kungfu Adam ^(talk) 17:31, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Cangratulations! I look forward to your using your mop satisfactorily. Eluchil404 17:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Congrats. Having no brightly coloured RfA box is no problem to me.--Jusjih 18:03, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations, and you're very welcome! --Merovingian {T C @} 21:24, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Congrats! Although I voted Neutral in your RfA, I am actually happy that you are now an admin. Keep up the good work! --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 03:55, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

My talk page

Thanks for the reminder! Yeah, I'm not sure which barnstar I should give you, however. ;) Ciao. —Khoikhoi 17:22, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and congratulations! —Khoikhoi 17:23, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

My heartiest wishes on your becoming an admin. Use your mop well. :) --Nearly Headless Nick 07:46, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your note. I've seen you around, and you do wonderful work for Wikipedia! Keep up the great work, and I hope to see you around more often around the Wiki! :-) --HappyCamper 17:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Today I have created an article titled N0valyfe. I would like to find out WHY it was deleted. Thanks.

Nigel Gohl

Thanks for speedily deleting Nigel Gohl. Unfortunately, this guy (Nige 54 a.k.a Matthew1000) is a serial pest. Not only does he have no regard for the rules and regulations of wikipedia, but he seems determined to avoid NPOV when writing about himself. Hence, I am humbly requesting that you protect this article, so that it cannot be re-created without first submitting it to an admin.

Its already been deleted twice, so I think its time to be firm. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by I elliot (talk • contribs) .

Thank you

Hi Gurch, thank you for voting in my RFA which failed eventually at a result of (91/51/8). I do not plan to run for adminship until a later date. Once again, I will like to thank you for voting. --Terence Ong _{(talk | contribs)} 14:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Please do not change {{Talk Archive}} to {{talkarchive}}

I created {{Talk Archive}} to communicate important points to people who might think about editing the Talk Archives that I have maintain.

If you prefer to use the {{talkarchive}} template on Talk Archives that you maintain, that's fine. However, please do not take it upon yourself to spread the {{talkarchive}} template to Talk Archives that you do not maintain.

Thank you.

--Richard 17:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I just noticed that you created an archive of Talk:Expulsion of Germans after World War II which is apparently what motivated you to make the changes of {{Talk Archive}} to {{talkarchive}} throughout the other talk archives. So your enthusiasm in making things consistent is understandable although I do not agree with the specific way that you made things consistent. I have just replaced all the {{talkarchive}} instantiations with {{chronological talk archive}}

If you wish to discuss this issue further, feel free to respond here. I will watch this page for a few days.

Happy editing.

--Richard 17:59, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks...

Also thanks for speedily deleting the user pages I requested. — Super-Magician (talk • contribs • count) ★ 16:41, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

You are most welcome

I love editor types! --CTSWyneken 19:12, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

don kozak

I don't see where the page I created called "Don Kozak" falls under the speedy deletion policy. Would you care to enlighten me as to why it was deleted within 10 minutes of its creation? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thefronge (talk • contribs) 15:07, 14 June 2006 (UTC).

I am thinking...

...of redesigning my user page. I've looked at a few pages and I really like the overall organization of yours. Am I permitted to use it? — Super-Magician (talk • contribs • count) ★ 16:47, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Congrats and thanks

Dear Gurch, thanks so much for your support during my recent successful request for adminship, and congratulations on your promotion as well! Look forward to working with you as an admin. Take care -- Samir धर्म 06:39, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
