Welcome to Ronhjones' Talk page

on English Wikipedia


Hi there! To keep the flow of conversations, I like to keep threads on one page where possible. So, if you post a message here, I'll probably respond to it here. Conversely, if I post a message on your talk page, you can respond there if you wish; since I've edited your talk page I'll have it on my watchlist. Thanks!

If you wish to contact me privately you can email me

Note: To any interested parties. This is my only account, there are a few minor edits under my static IP address 87.127.178.158 and my work IP address (but that is shared) 193.113.135.87

Admin?

I was impressed with your actions on a recent set of edits we partipated in. A review of your edit history, and comments are also impressive. I have seen your {{User wikipedia/Administrator someday}} and would like to recomend you for admin. Do you think you are ready? JeepdaySock (AKA, Jeepday) 16:40, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Jeepday, is anybody really ready? There is always something new to learn - Wikipedia is an evolving system, one cannot know it all. I do get satisfaction in trying to keep it free of vandalism - although (to quote from above) it does at times seem felt "like one is bailing out a sailboat with a thimble", and I think that the extra powers could be very useful here - sometimes there is quite a wait from making a the report to WP:AIV or WP:RPP before action is taken, and during that time one can often see really heavy vandalism. I have looked at some of the WP:RFA over the months to gauge what is required. My only (slight) concern is that others might not see my edits as being of large enough - I am a scientist, I tend to sticks to facts and not add any woolliness, thus any bits I write tend to be short, I'm not one for writing large volumes of prose - and I suspect never will be. So I tend to do a fair proportion of gnome edits (besides the reverting), plus adding chemical structures and waterway route maps - I would estimate that the waterway route maps probably take the most time (per page) than any other editing - the last one must have taken 8-10 hours editing time (Template:Grand Junction Canal Route Map) - too many fiddly bits - but I think it was worth it as the article page (Grand Junction Canal) is (in my opinion) improved.
Anyway, that aside, if you feel you can propose me, then I will accept, and I thank you for your proposal.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 20:00, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Focus on good answers, and everything should turn out just fine. You have many good qualties and the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship#RfA_and_automated_edits... is encouraging. JeepdaySock (AKA, Jeepday) 16:39, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?

Gerald Ford

Ford was NOTED for the sloppy buttsex he had with Reagan in '76. I leave the edit in. 128.122.88.205 (talk) 00:00, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You need to add a verifiable reference to do that  Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:03, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You blanked out the license data  Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:56, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Renaud

SERIOUSLY..U HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THEN EDIT WIKIPEDIA??? I HOPE YOUR GETTING PAID FOR THIS OR ELSE I WOULD SUGGEST ASKING FOR SOME COMPENSATION FOR THE TOTAL LOSS OF TIME YOU SPEND SCANNING THIS WEBSITE! GOODLUCK! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.205.55.58 (talk) 01:00, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's tough out there, but someone has to do it.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 01:04, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LET ME EDIT

I WILL TAKE OF WIKIPEDIA MUAHAHAHAHA AHHAHA AHA

Anyone is welcome to edit, provided the edits are constructive.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:52, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removed prod from Anal-oral contact/history1

I've removed the proposed deletion tag from this redirect, because redirects are not eligible for proposed deletion. Only actual articles and disambiguation pages are eligible. You might want to bring this to WP:RFD instead (I have a feeling it would be deleted). Just letting you know, thanks! -- Atama頭 00:06, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yaroslav

Adding a lists or russians to this page is inappropriate. He was not a russian there was no Russia at the time. The link to the page with russian rulers is more than enough. Thank you. 63.240.123.12 (talk) 23:43, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you think the template is incorrect in calling all these people "Russian", then it's better to get the template correct first - as all those people are linked by that template - I would suggest a posting on the template talk page or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russia (as the template is part of that project). If you just continue to remove it, then it's more more than likely that editors from the WikiProject Russia will just put it back again - they will have those pages in their watch list.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:01, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Max Mermelstein

Hi Ron,

I see that you have recently updated and added quite a bit of information to the Max Mermelstein page as well as other key figures from this era (Barry Seal, Jon Roberts etc.) How did you learn about Max and where are you getting most of the infomation from for the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thabal (talk • contribs) 04:08, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to disappoint - but I've not added any data to those pages, I've only been reverting the addition of unsourced content.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 09:26, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deep breath...

... 'cos it's a lil' more than 48 hours to go. I am optimistic for your chances, and I wish for you that, to quote Tolkien, "what should be, shall be." With good humor, Jusdafax 22:52, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. It does seem to have opened up a few can of worms... c'ést la vie.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:12, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are now an admin

I've closed your RFA as successful, as you know, and I would encourage you to keep the concerns of the opposition in your RFA as points of personal improvement for yourself, and to remain cautious when working in these areas for the moment. Show 'em you can be trusted! If you'd like to test your tools out, you can head to new admin school. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to let me or another admin know. Cheers, bibliomaniac15 00:20, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your RfA

Congrats! The thing that should not be 23:45, 26 November 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Congratulations as well! ConCompS (Talk to me) 00:01, 27 November 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Thank you for your comments, and I thank all those that commented on the RfA (including the opposes and neutrals - everyone is entitled to their own opinion). It did open up some interesting discussions on edit counts and AfD / BLP policy. For those who might worry that I will stop vandal fighting, don't panic - I will still be there helping out. As I said on the page, the tools will be used very carefully at first - I want to observe and understand the actions of others. I suspect this will be quite a learning curve for me.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:11, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well done! Crafty (talk) 00:23, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations! I never thought this would ever come when you had 33 percent support, but you really beat the odds and have become an administrator. Good luck! Kevin Rutherford (talk) 00:32, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats Ron! It's a great day for you and Wikipedia... Good Fortunes, always! Jusdafax 00:44, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations. As you noted, don't feel compelled to quickly jump into anything. Make the easy blocks at AIV and watch the fruity cases to see how they play out. Please feel absolutely free to ask any questions! Kuru talk 03:02, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats

With all those automated edits, I'm surprised you weren't sent over to WP:BAG for approval *joke*. Congratulations, and don't break the Wiki! davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 00:48, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations mate! Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 00:53, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nicely done, and congratulations. - Dank (push to talk) 01:06, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Congratulations from one of your opposers. All the best! - Ret.Prof (talk) 01:11, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Congrats on the mop. I've encountered you from time to time on AIV and seen your positive contributions. Look forward to seeing good things from you. Calmer Waters 04:14, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations! I stumbled on your RfA at the last minute and glad I had a chance to weigh in. --JohnnyB256 (talk) 15:31, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A little late, but congrats. I'm glad to see you passed, and I'm sure you'll make good use of the tools. Robofish (talk) 17:28, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, Ronhjones. I'm glad the automated edits didn't hold you back. ~YellowFives 18:30, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

congratulations, Ron! A8UDI 01:12, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
