User pages
Hi. I have modified the advice you gave Hertfordshire1234 (talk · contribs). For most users, working on pages that may eventually be acceptable articles, it would be good advice; but this particular user's output to date has been only hoax articles purporting to show that he is an earl, a marquess, a prince... and he already has two more hoax articles under preparation in his user space, which I have taken to MfD because they are using user pages for purposes not related to building the encyclopedia. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:27, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for doing that. I guess I was a little peeved last night because by the time I got to him, he was the second notification I was doing, so I was trying to be as supportive as possible. I just find it irresponisble that no one will notify users of these deletions. I think that he is trying to possibly create an article aout himself there. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 14:28, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- I'm sure he's writing about himself - he's got delusions of grandeur. But what drew him to your attention last night? He was blocked for a week on 28 June, and his sockpuppet Englandrules123 (talk · contribs) indef-blocked - has he started another sock? JohnCD (talk) 14:36, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- No, it wasn't that. I just took pity on him not being notified of anything. This once happened to me on a deletion of a page that I created, and I had absolutely no clue on the decision until after the fact. I think it is really unfair when the editor has no input on a major decision like that. I didn't know that he was that bad of a person though. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 14:39, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Franken
Kevin, at the time the info was removed, Franken had yet to be certified. It was easily restored when that changed.(Yakofujimato (talk) 00:19, 2 July 2009 (UTC))
RfA Thanks
Hi Ktr101. I just wanted to thank you for contributing to my RfA. It wasn't one of the best RfA's held, but I've learned a lot from the experience. Sorry for sending you the message today, and not last week when my RfA was closed. I've been very busy the last time. Thanks once again! Kind regards, LouriePieterse 10:29, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. It's okay that you took all that time. I've never even had someone thank me before for this, so thanks again. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 23:19, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Children of Michael Jackson AfD
About this - there are about three suggested merge possibilities, so it might be helpful to mention if you have a particular one in mind. No need, just a suggestion :) Fritzpoll (talk) 16:12, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

ANG Template
What do you want to do with it? Got a sandbox template made up yet? TDRSS (talk) 18:35, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- I say go for it, but make sure it is on "state=autohide" so it is already collapsed. That will be a bit more aestetic. TDRSS (talk) 19:31, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

TDRSS would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Wikipedia:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact TDRSS to accept or decline the nomination. A page has been created for your nomination at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ktr101. If you accept the nomination, you must state and sign your acceptance. You may also choose to make a statement and/or answer the optional questions to supplement the information your nominator has given. Once you are satisfied with the page, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.
- Can I do that (add support when I gave you a nom?)TDRSS (talk) 02:10, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Hey. Not a big deal, but generally you should avoid closing discussions you participated in. Just FYI. :) –Juliancolton | Talk 21:17, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Also remember to remove it from the main rfa page. Triplestop x3 21:30, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Re:rfa
Hi Ktr101. I just want to say that this is nothing personal. I'm just rather surprised to see that you have never heard of/used WP:AIV and WP:AN/I but yet you wish to implement processes which these noticeboards already encompass. However, I don't think adding a strong oppose was justified either way so I want to apologize for any undue stress that that may have caused. -FASTILY (TALK) 03:25, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Help on 102d page
I'm shocked at some of the comments on the RfA - I pulled my RfA a while ago, partially due to lack of 'wider experience' (i.e. I don't edit Michael Jackson or Britney Spears wiki pages), and because I realized I stick with what I like and what I know (USAF stuff). Having the admin powers sound nice, but sometimes you might come off sounding like a jerk (read some detractors on the RfA page - I have no idea where some of those comments came from). But since the 102d Intelligence Wing page is your pride and joy, and their sticking point for absurdities, I will gladly offer some assistance on the copy editing. First, things first - set up a FOIA account on eFOIA. You can request documents (sometimes with no cost) from the 102d that will be "official references" (forms initially activation from the Federal Government, list of commanders, buildings used on Otis, names of the Pilots who flew on 9/11, etc.). Your references are good, but some are second party (USAF factsheets written by unit folks), and others are third party (newspapers)- get the official goods from the unit. You'll be surprised what you can get! (I've flooded the FOIA system for lots of ANG units, so I don't think my request for 102d stuff will go quickly) (Read: [Filing_a_Freedom_of_Information_Request] TDRSS (talk) 03:18, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
- True about the fee waiver statement - however as a FOIA "other" category, you get two hours of search and the first 100 pages for free. Most of the info I request doesn't even come close to either. The AF has a minimum of a $25.00 fee committment - if the information is less than that (i.e. $12.00 or $23.00), they will waive the fees. TDRSS (talk) 11:36, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
- Ktr and Tdrss: you may be interested to look at my RFA page and the responses it got for what happened to me. On the 102nd IW, we need to remember WP:RS/Verifiability means we need tertiary sources. Primary sources, as Tdrss is advocating, are specifically NOT allowed. However check with Roger Davies or Kirill about how to use them if you have some data you really want to work in. Cheers Buckshot06(prof) 06:34, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

More info on Intel Wg
Some more fidelity you might want to dredge up - find out what kind of intel the 102d is doing (Distributed common Ground station for U-2s, geospatial, etc.). Link the 102d to the AFISRA mission areas - see the AFISRA page for an org chart I got from FOIA (yeah, I'll get off of my FOIA soapbox... ;-) - find out which active duty wing it will report if/when federally activated. The Air Operations Group (there is zero information on that-AOGs are relatively new) - find out which Air Operations Center the unit will support (CAOC in the desert, or the one in Pacific?).
Find out the Federal mission statement and the State Mission statement (most ANG units have two because of their dual mission). See if their intel job supports the local government (i.e. homeland security).
And, I'm going to kick myself for saying this, but look into Bwmoll3's templates for lineage and honors - I dislike it because it's very hard to read, but he's converted a LOT of pages to it. It holds a lot of information into a little bit of space; it may give your 102d page a more professional feel. My AF template was derived from my AF units page I created back in college (circa 1996-97); it was the only one of its kind and got a lot of activity. when people started pilfering the information to Wikipedia, I shut it down and transferred most of the information over. I've kept the style, because its easy to read - but I've lost the battle with Bwmoll3's template due to the sheer number of pages he's created. Oh well. TDRSS (talk) 11:36, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Closing Headbomb's RFA
What am I missing? Did he ask you to do this somewhere? --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:39, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Non-admin closure of RFAs (to be clear, non-bureaucrat closure) is usually limited to SNOW or NOTNOW closures, not RFAs that have run their entire length. –xenotalk 19:41, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Or where the candidate expliticly indicates a desire to withdraw---and it is generally reserved to 'crats, not just admins. I would never consider closing an RFA that ran the entire period and finished at 50%.---Balloonman NO! I'm Spartacus! 20:39, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi. The convention on this page is that redlinks are tolerated because they may result in articles being created, and those that haven't been are periodically culled when sufficient time has elapsed, usually a month. Cheers. Rodhullandemu 01:20, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for your participation in my recent RfA. I will do my very best not to betray the confidence you have shown me. If you ever have any questions or suggestions about my conduct as an administrator or as an editor please don't hesitate to contact me. Once again, thanks. ·Maunus·ƛ· 12:36, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
An exciting opportunity to get involved!
As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis contribs 22:58, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Lingerie Football League
I'm confused as to why you think the league's schedule falls under being a crystal ball. This is the confirmed league schedule from the league. Nearly, all sports pages on Wikipedia carry the league schedule. In fact, if you look into the NFL, NHL and NBA all league teams have their own pages which carries the schedules. As this is probably the most encyclopedic information regarding this league and creating a season page for a league that has not conducted a single season would be overkill at this point. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 02:54, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- I do see your point to an extent. But your edit summary didn't make sense that way as this is not a violation of WP:Crystalball. Since a) I couldn't find any leagues that had the schedule on the league page and b) the United Football League which is a start up league, also has a season page I don't see a huge problem with moving this to a 2009 Lingerie Football League page, however I won't do this until a bit more info trickles out from the league.

re: WikiProject Cape Cod and the Islands
I have no idea how that got on there. I'm learning a whole bunch of new things about me- I used to be known as Mr Senseless, I'm a Red Sox fan and I apparently went to Ithaca College, wherever the fuck that is. I didn't think I drank that much. ;) --TheTruthiness (talk) 00:50, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

re: Notice
Thanks for the heads up, I left a message on each of their talk pages asking if they want a clean copy of the formatting code. That said, I'm having a tough time with this, would such a large number of users just copy my infobox and not know to change any of the content whatsoever (for example, my intro paragraph is the same on each of their userpages, word for word)? I wouldn't be surprised if this is the work of some vandal, but I just got home from work and am too tired to look into it now. 2 says you, says two 05:26, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
TenPoundVandal
I'm going to respond to your comment on TenPoundHammer's RfA #7 here, since the issue seems to be closed now. Yeah, admitting to being a vandal is dumb, but so is telling a lie in front of someone who knows better because I was, like, there, dude. I wanted to see how much he would lie to get a position for which honesty and integrity are requirements. "I didn't say [that RemmaHnuoPneT was an impostor] because I thought it was obvious that it wasn't me." Come on, seriously?
I don't hate the guy, but I do hate double standards. On May 6 he went on Uncyc's IRC channel and admitted to being a vandal, posting a list of his sockpuppets on one of his userpages. An admin deleted it per UN:DENY, but I'm just saying. As a Wikipedia user, I don't think I trust him to bring credit to the project. That's all I'm going to say on the matter. I just felt someone ought to know. --Syndrome (talk) 04:02, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
