LogiCity
I'm a little disappointed that you deleted this page by so strictly interpreting the 4 hour limit. The first version of the page was indeed unbalanced, but I had worked hard to correct that, and was actually editing the Talk:Logicity page to explain how we had addressed the issues identified, only to return to the page and find it gone!
LogiCity is an online (or distributed) serious game, that falls within the sub-category of Global warming games. Like the Climate Challenge Game, also listed on the Global warming game page (and which also has its own Wikipedia page), LogiCity has been publicly funded by the UK's Defra, through its Climate Challenge Programme. The game is not a commercial venture; it is freely available to anyone to play. As such, I believe it has as much justification to a Wikipedia page as the other games linked from the Global warming game page, which apart from Climate Challenge, include V GAS, Stabilization Wedge and Keep Cool. --Petrolmaps (talk) 18:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
John Gore (Theater Producer)
I am baffled as to why you deleted the page on John Gore. He is about to become the largest producer of Broadway musicals in the industry and his biography is of great interest to professionals in the theater. While true the page started with his published, public domain, biography, it was substantially expanded with additional materials and numerous cites and sources. His deal will be announced shortly and the availability of this material to the press was my purpose in begining the posting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Benfeing (talk • contribs) 05:15, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- You may see that I deleted it as a copyright violation. Please make sure next time you create a page it is properly referenced with soures that are not copied. Wikipedia doesn't accept copyrighted work, as can be read by clicking here. You may also want to read a guide to your first article. Rudget. 16:11, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Sir Geoffrey Edmund Cator's page
I think its ridiculous to delete the Sir Geoffrey Edmund Cator page, that I created on 12 January 2008. Maybe you should post the page for Article for deletion and ask for votes and not just deleted the page without other concerns. Andrew Kidman • Talk 11:11, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

DuckTales Article.
I have to admit, I'm enjoy watching Disney's Ducktales and decided to write an article on a villain from the pilot five-part series. Take a look at El Capitan and tell me what you think of it. Perhaps you can help me improve on it. New York Dreams (talk) 10:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the RFP request. I was in the middle of a response on the Help Desk when I got your message, so feel free to respond to it there. BrokenSphereMsg me 17:31, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for doing the closing. Minor correction at Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Film - there were 4 supports, not 3. Cirt (talk) 17:50, 8 January 2008 (UTC).

Re: Adminship
As per the userbox on my userpage, not interested in Adminship at this point in time. I'm having fun just concentrating on getting articles and other content on the project up to Featured quality status, and keeping busy in that regard. But thank you for the offer, most flattering and appreciated - especially coming from you. Cirt (talk) 19:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC).

Note
With this, I think it'll be best to inform Sahilm about it. He clearly wanted to support, but still, I suggest telling him anyway as a courtesy. Thanks. Acalamari 20:30, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Done Rudget. 20:48, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

100!
Nice job: your RFA has made it to WP:100! Malinaccier Public (talk) 13:25, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Just a shame about the block list. I've been told that my responses to the opposes, make it look like I am telling them that they should "be quiet". Of course, this isn't what I am trying to do but it looks like that nevertheless. Hopefully, it should pass though. And if so, I will stay away from blocking for at least one month. I'd rather use the tools for protection and roll-back, but this and my last RFA look like I'm "block hungry" - so to speak. Thanks anyway for coming to congratulate me, I very much appreciate that. Plus, I like the idea of a public computer account such as yours, I'll create one now. :) Best regards, Rudget. 13:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, public accounts are nice, so you know you won't get hacked and all. And your RFA looks like it will pass right now, at 91%. Good luck!! Malinaccier (talk) 00:01, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me fight the vandalism on the Randy Moss article. I already reverted it once before you did and I also warned him too. Burner0718 (talk) 21:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. Rudget. 21:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
RE: :-)
Haha, yeah I have Randy in my watchlist and just got on and noticed the massive removal of content. Him, Favre, and Marino get so much vandalism, its almost funny. Hope he gets blocked! I noticed you placed the message up top, so I figured it was time to report, keep up the good work!
Gonzo fan2007 talk ♦ contribs 21:11, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Damn, he got blocked for six months! Haha, I was saying that I saw you threw up the last warning so I figured he had done some prior bad stuff, so I just threw it over to AIV. Well have a good day, and good luck on your RFA (it seems youre going to get the mop with or without my luck lol). Good luck editing!

Adminship
Thanks for your comment, however I've responded to User:Qst that "I don't know of any admin tools would help me with the article writing/improving I do & I don't think the potential benefits would outweigh the likely hassles - therefore I'd decline the offer at present". But thanks anyway & good luck with your RfA.— Rod talk 22:10, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

(I was going to comment there, but felt it was inappropriate :P) So anyway, I'm surprised. You're not an admin? Rudget. 21:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- No, I'm not. For further details, see here, here, here, and here. – Gurch 21:21, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Huh?
I don't understand this, either: "Yes, I'm a "professor" - with bended intermediate and distat phalanges on the index and middle fingers intentionally in your eyes. If you dont understand this, go here." at User:Rudget/languages. I clicked on the link but didn't find an explanation. It looks violent to me. Please explain. --Coppertwig (talk) 23:31, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, I was just joking, hence the speechmarks etc. I'll remove it if you like. Rudget. 07:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. You didn't have to delete your whole Babel page, though! I figured it was a joke, but I didn't get the joke and I think it's better not to have that type of joke, so I appreciate the removal of that sentence. --Coppertwig (talk) 12:52, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Hang on
You placed a speedy deletion tag on Moff, on the grounds that it was a re-creation of previously deleted material. That is not correct. This page is not a re-creation of what was deleted at AFD. The article deleted at AFD was a lengthy, in-universe digression filled with original research. This is a short disambiguation page so that if someone types the search term into the box, they'll be directed to the articles that most closely match what they're looking for. I think it's better to have a disambiguation page here than a red link. An AFD deletion doesn't mean that the article title can never be used for anything again. *** Crotalus *** 20:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

You are now an administrator
Congratulations, I have just closed your RfA as successful and made you an administrator. Take a look at the administrators' how-to guide and the administrators' reading list if you haven't read those already. Also, the practice exercises at the new admin school may be useful. If you have any questions, get in touch on my talk page. Sorry about the wait - I assumed another bureaucrat would have closed the RfA while I was out. WjBscribe 02:27, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your attention here. However this template was already deleted once outside deletion process, restored after DRV, and then nominated for MfD here. You should probably close the MfD with a good reason to ensure there's no good reason to restore this again. (my only fear is the lack of CSD reasoning in your delete log summary) Thanks :) Equazcion •✗/C • 10:30, 12 Jan 2008 (UTC)

- No problem, and thanks :) I'm not sure what transclusion problem you're referring to, though. Equazcion •✗/C • 10:34, 12 Jan 2008 (UTC)
- I was referring to this. All the users who have the userbox transcluded on their userpage, are all "up for deletion". Rudget. 10:47, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

These two userboxes are present in different pages including User:Noor Aalam. These two also need to be deleted. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 10:55, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'll let another admin deal with that. Apologies. It's just I'm too inexperienced for userbox deletions just yet. Rudget. 10:57, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- I reopened the discussion. T1 has been refuted as a criterion for speedy deletion during the DRV discussion, and CSD clearly states that speedy deletion is not a tool to forestall community discussion on a controversial topic. ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 13:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Nicole Richie
Sorry to personally bug you, but you could you possibly review the request for protection someone put in for Nicole Richie? It seems to have been skipped over.
