Wild Beasts

Hi Ryan! To be honest I'm now quite satisfied with the Wild Beasts article. I've never even heard of the band before, but the combination of citations seems to be good for a few months at least - by which time the Domino Recods website may well have been updated to include them. I'll keep an eye on the article and try to find some further sources as time allows. Thanks for your interest. QuagmireDog 17:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I just thought it was best to give you the option of Afd, in my opinion the band meet WP:MUSIC how the article is a present, but thanks alot for the help with the article RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 17:44, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Edit conflict

Heh, yeah, thanks for keeping an eye on that one. Do you use ARV or another tool like it? I love it, I'd try it out if you don't. See you around vandal hunting no doubt. Peace, delldot | talk 23:49, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I use Lupins tool and popups but caught this one in my watchlist. WIll have a look at ARV now you mention it, good work again! RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 23:52, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for your support in my recent RfA. I think valid criticisms were raised in areas that I need to work on, so I've withdrawn my name. I intend to work on addressing the concerns that were raised, and think I need to work contributing without allowing myself to become as stressed as I have been at times, which did result in some inappropriate behavior. Perhaps I may re-explore adminship at some point in the future, but it's a little early to consider that. Again, thank you. Fan-1967 21:41, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Well I think you'd have done a great admin job, Definately reapply in a few months time RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 21:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I'll definitely give it some thought. I need to figure out how to deal with the tasks at hand without letting it cause me to get too stressed and start snapping. A cool head is needed, even when dealing with the vandals and children. Fan-1967 21:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm considering going for adminship in a few months time (when I say a few, I mean about 6!) and the issues brought up in your Rfa were something I'm going to have to consider myself. Civility is an important issue on wikipedia, but it is often very hard when talking to blatant vandals or people posting nonsense or peronal attack pages and often these cannot be distinguished from new users not understanding wikipedia. Maybe the most important lesson to take out of your Rfa for everyone is to assume good faith with all editors RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 21:55, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Some of the new users can be hard. Maybe they're just putting their User page in the wrong place, maybe they really can't accept that this is not myspace. Sometimes they'll get all huffy and insist that everyone is notable and deserves a page. Sometimes they're really just deliberately trolling, but you can't be sure. I guess the proper response is stick to cool civility at all times, and pretend to AGF even when it's totally implausible. Fan-1967 21:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
