If I have started a conversation on your talk page, feel free to respond here. If you leave a message for me here, I will respond there and here as well.
Re: Ready?
Sorry, Fayssal. I have been very busy at work on the buildup to xmas. I answered all the questions this morning. I will be in Spain from Saturday but I will be on the internet anyway. I have not extended myself too much on the answers but I am happy to answer anyone else's questions, of course. Thanks a lot for nominating me. Fingers crossed :-) Asteriontalk10:21, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
We'll do one thing. Following the instructions here you'll be the one listing it at the RfA main page when you are ready. HOwever, we can also start from scratch when you are back after deleting this prior one. Just tell me which option is suitable for you. Cheers -- Szvest - Wiki me up ®10:32, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Gracias por nominarme, Fayssal. Estoy muy contento de como va el proceso. About to board my plane home. I will check wiki again tomorrow. All the best, Asteriontalk17:27, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, I didn't know that either. Sounds like we definitely shouldn't use these book covers in the Criticism articles then. - Merzbow21:31, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wait a minute. Template:Book_cover says "to illustrate an article discussing the book in question". It doesnt have to be the article exclusively devoted to the book. If ANY article is discussing this book, then the picture can be displayed. Also, I'm not seeing any explicit policy that says that the image cannot be used on its own as I had put in some of the articles. Some time I may look for clarification for this thing from other members. If you want to remove the images for now, you may.--Matt5721:36, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't the collective noun fit the group characteristics, e.g. "sockpuppet drawer"? – SAJordantalkcontribs23:20, 20 Dec 2006 (UTC).
Lol! Well, that's right but the caravan also fits as the user in question has been camping in both Ireland, Wales and England! He's been changing the driver's license everytime he changes the place. -- Szvest - Wiki me up ®12:37, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Some people collect postcards and tourism brochures as souvenirs of their travels; this person collects driver's licenses. <shrug> De gusty tourist bus non disputandum est. You might possibly also enjoy the latter half of this Usenet post from ages past, another view of sockpuppets. – SAJordantalkcontribs15:59, 21 Dec 2006 (UTC).
I had fully protected it as it seemed more an edit warring than IP vandalism. But, well IP-hopping is quite enough a reason to warrant a semi instead of a fully protection. -- Szvest - Wiki me up ®16:12, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes that is understandable for an editor like yourself who's not been following the article. If you can spare a moment just review the edits for the last day or so and you'll see that there's been only one editor that's been consistently going against consensus and that's the IP hopping anon. I encourage you to invite a 3rd party view if necessary. (→Netscott)16:16, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've told A. that RFCs should be filed at WP:RFC, and the category he wants is at the bottom, "Wikipedia policies, guidelines and proposals". If this is wrong, please advise us both. – SAJordantalkcontribs18:29, 21 Dec 2006 (UTC).
Me alegra que te guste. Todavía le falta atar algunos cabos, como traducir al inglés el poema de Ibn Zamrak, que me da un poco de pereza, porque la traducción al español de Emilio García Gómez es tan bella que es difícil estar a la altura con mi inglés chapurreao. A Asterion ya le he votado, faltaría más. Pues nada, ¡a mandar!--Garcilaso16:21, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hola Fayssal, sólo quería comentarte respecto a las fechas de la construcción del Palacio de los Leones, creo que son erróneas. Ya me di cuenta cuando escribía el artículo de que le faltaba una cronología, y agradezco el esfuerzo para mejorarlo, así como la traducción al árabe. Yo no tengo el dato concreto de la construcción del patio, ni de su finalización, pero 1230 - 1354 a.D. no corresponden con el reinado de Muhammad V (1354–1359 y 1362–1391). Como expongo en el artículo, la construcción tuvo lugar durante su segundo mandato, con lo que la fecha de inicio del patio debe de estar entre 1362 y 1391. La página web de la que has tomado el dato debe de ir "de oídas", como mucho de lo que se ha escrito sobre la Alhambra, que tiene una atmósfera tan especial, tan "mágica", que ha sido objeto de muchas bienintencionadas invenciones para "decorar" la historia. Lo mismo pasa con, por ejemplo, el Camino de Santiago. Ambos son temas que me interesan mucho y que no sé cómo empezar a "atacar" en Wikipedia sin crear polémica con tantos editores, pero muchos de los contenidos de dichos artículos son de de escasa fiabilidad. Así que mientras que me había apartado del tema por pereza, por no buscar y reseñar una a una las referencias (muchas veces no tan accesibles) que rebatan todos y cada uno de los "pufos", éstos siguen en los artículos. Igual me es más cómodo escribir otros artículos desde cero, del estilo de Court of the Myrtles, Palace of Comares, Mechouar of the Alhambra, Gardens of the Partal, Generalife...Gracias por animarme a meterme en esa vía que estaba postponiendo indefinidamente. Doy por hecho que cuento con tu inestimable ayuda.--Garcilaso12:23, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for participating in my
RfA, which did not succeed and was closed early at 2/10/9. I am not
discouraged, however, and will use the experience to improve my skills until a
later date when I may succeed. Yuser3141520:48, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, and thank you for the support on my recent RfA. The final tally was 63/3/2, and I have now been entrusted with the mop. I hope I can live up to your trust, and certainly welcome any and all feedback. All the best, and thanks again! — Agathoclea13:28, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes you are right. I missed the unless part of the policy. I agree w/ you about updating the policy. Do you have any particular way on how to process? -- Szvest - Wiki me up ®14:21, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your support on my successful Request for Adminship (final result 78 Support /0 Oppose / 1 Neutral)
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. I am humbled by your kind support and would certainly welcome any feedback on my actions. Please do not hesitate to contact me. Once again, many thanks and happy new year!
All the best, Asteriontalk13:29, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
