RFA

No problems. I think you'll make a great admin, sooner rather than later. I only opposed because I think you're still learning and, it seems to me, still tend to judge the importance of articles on your own familiarity with the subject. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 10:22, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

I came here to say the same thing, pretty much. I often find that you've done just what I've have done, it's just the itchiness of your deletion trigger-finger that had me worried. I'd be surprised if you weren't an admin in a month or so, and be as much an asset in that rôle as you are as a non-admin editor. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:37, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about the failure of your self-nomination. I think that the self-nomination is inherently more difficult than nomination by another person. Better luck next time; I still have faith in you. Good day. --Merovingian (t) (c) 12:26, May 3, 2005 (UTC)

To quote Mel Etitis, I came here to say the same thing, pretty much. The good thing about failing an RFA is it does give you the opportubnity to assess any perceived weaknesses; use those oppose votes to help you correct any problems. I still think you'll make a good admin at some stage...leave it a couple of months and see whether you feel like testing the waters again. Grutness|^hello?

Hear, hear. When you do (notice I didn't say "if"), you have my support. - Lucky 6.9 17:46, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

I don't think my late vote would have made any difference anyway, and I'm sorry I didn't pipe in earlier. Anyway, you will have my support the next time you run, provided (of course) that you don't go loopy on us before then. Kelly Martin 20:31, May 3, 2005 (UTC)

Eh, I think I supported you - but either way, I'd be happy to support you (again, if I did before... can't you tell I'm lazy?) next time you run, and surely you'd become one of our WikiJanitors(c), unless you started listing featured articles on VfD or something... ahem. :) — ugen 64 22:53, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Loopiness is cool. :) ugen 64 00:32, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

VFD

Follow up from VFD on Colin Angus Mackay's talk page

Thanks - It looked like the heading in the main VFD page was messed up and there was no way to get to it from the TOC at the top of the page. If it was just a database lag then I'll have to remember that for the future - This was the first time I actually nominated anything for deletion. --Colin Angus Mackay 09:58, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Management Quantative Analysis

Could anyone please explain why it is better for society to have the market, and not governments, determine prices of the goods we buy. If the government was running the market, how would you see marketing of goods and services differ than if society has the market?

Thanks, Sugar1 2May.05

It might be more appropriate to post this question at Wikipedia:Reference desk since I am not an expert in that subject. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 17:31, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Sockpuppets and Blockage

I would love to grab up every possible combo of Wikipedia is Anarchism, but this might further trigger the ire of the vigilante known as User:BrokenSegue. He forced me to AOL by blocking my regular IP. — Rickyrab | Talk 04:59, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

I did try to grab up the other combos of User:Wikipedia is Anarchism, only to be blocked at User:Wikipedians are Anarchists. Oh well. — Rickyrab | Talk 05:15, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Here's what User:Curps, the blocker of Wikipedians are Anarchists, said about his blockage of that last username:

OK. I'm not sure the strategy of grabbing every variant will work, though, because there's always one more variant (add an exclamation point or two or three or four, vary the capitalization, etc.) -- Curps 05:22, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Your call. — Rickyrab | Talk 05:27, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Well, there you go. I'm hanging up on this Wikipedia is Anarchism crap. w00t....... and how did this Wikipedia is Communism vandalism start, anyway? — Rickyrab | Talk 05:39, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Impersonations

You admins really get my goat. And the proper term is "impostor" not "impersonation". I saw an impersonation walking in front of me! doesn't sound right, does it? Clockwork Soul 13:57, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

You don't have to revert my personal messages. They don't count as vandalism or trolling. Clockwork Soul 13:59, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Excuse me, that was a very legitimate sentence I posted up there. And true, to tell the truth. Put it back or I will! Clockwork Soul 14:07, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Comments made by ClockworkSouI (talk · contribs) who was impersonating legitimate user ClockworkSoul and vandalising a few pages. Last letter, change ell to eye. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 14:34, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Yes, yes, everybody can tell that. Stressing the obvious is something you're good at, ain't it? Clockwork Soul 14:45, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
