Re: Declined reports

Hi. To me, Abyjohnmkunnil looked like a confusing username that would make it "unnecessarily difficult to identify the contributor" and it seemed as though it was a random string of letters. Obviously, on closer inspection it's a name so I'm sorry for my haste! Maybe capitalization of the name would have made it easier to see? Anyway, thanks for your help and I'm sorry for my n00biness at these tasks!

Thanks again. -- Blake01 15:28, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stormtracker94's RFA

Yeah, he ended up withdrawing. I can be seen here. Most of the opposes were for a couple mistakes he'd made at AFD or that it'd been too short of a wait since previous RFA (even though it'd been 3 months), or that his answer to Q3 was weird. Next time, I guess. Useight (talk) 17:22, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

24 hours later...

...and it's 22/2/2. Any thoughts at this stage? I must have checked the page about 30 times today...! GBT/C 17:46, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your block of Zipgun

Thank you. WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN it seems the winds have stopped... 18:38, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. In an ideal world he would listen when he gets warnings and stop, but still he persists. As I say, thank you. It's made my day. WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN it seems the winds have stopped... 19:02, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helping out a new user

Hi, Rudget. Thanks for this: I was following a help desk thread and got to here where you declined a speedy (at least "for now"). Sympathizing with the author of the page, I'd like to thank you for that reprieve. Even if a page might eventually get deleted, I think it's more friendly to the new users to use one of the slower deletion methods. Besides, it looks as if it might just squeak in under the notability criteria. --Coppertwig (talk) 21:56, 16 February 2008 (UTC) P.S. I just added a ref to it. --Coppertwig (talk) 22:01, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Kosovo

ANI and Talk:Kosovo - I couldn't find any support for it. It's being watched and I'll protect it again if the edit wars flare up again. east.718 at 18:36, February 17, 2008

I'm disappointed that you apologized AFTER your protection ran out. You should have removed the full, then apologized, instead of waiting for it to expire, then apologize, as if you were truly contrite. It's a disappointing behavior to see in an Admin.

RFA Card

Nousernamesleft

Hi, Rudget, thanks for voting in my RfA, which passed with 47 supports (I hoped for a perfect square, but two away is close enough!), 3 opposes (the first odd prime), and 0 neutrals. I'm glad the community has decided to trust me with the mop and bucket (the flamethrower isn't supported). Of course, special thanks goes to my nominators Auawise and that one guy who buried stuff (not that the thanks I give to the you isn't special!). If you ever need a hand with something, or just want to say hello, tough feel free to drop a line! Best wishes, Nousernamesleftcopper, not wood 23:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't even vaguely resemble a mop, but I couldn't find a picture of one.

Nope not an admin. ;) Thanks for coming the closest to skirting cliche number one in my RfA! Nousernamesleftcopper, not wood 23:05, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re. Quick comment

Sorry, I was away in the past few hours and could not help control the changes to Kosovo. Anyway I've heard reports that several countries will be recognizing Kosovo today so unless the map stirs too much edit warring I'll leave it for the time being. Once Kosovo starts receiving wide recognition I will consider the map perfectly legitimate. Regards, Húsönd 23:39, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SSP archiving

We have a bot, yet you still manually archive. Please refrain from doing this. Thank you. — E talk 06:45, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some cases that were closed had been stale on the page for near a week, so I decided to archive it manually. I then continued this trend with the very few cases I then went on to close. If there is a bot, should this be removed? Rudget. 16:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can has thankspam?

PS: Thanks for the extra double-plus support!! Kim Dent-Brown (Talk) 09:24, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

admin watch

Which wikiproject?

I haven't been that involved lately, too busy mopping. What do you need? Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 18:09, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well let me know. Slap some questions on me and I'll give em a shot (RL sucks ATM, but I should be able to answer within a couple of hours. Cheers Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 18:24, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Next week it is! You know where to find me. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 18:44, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OhanaUnited's RFA

IRC

Hey mate, if you get a minute, could you pop on to IRC, as I have a question which you'll know the answer too. I'll be in #Wikipedia-en, just so you know. Take care, Qst (talk) 15:13, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can I ask you to pop on again, it will only take ~5 mins. Qst (talk) 20:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, can you come on again for two seconds, just need to ask a quick question. :) Qst (talk) 15:47, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Root Remedy

The significance of this article is that it is a band which a former member of Nighwish is currently in. Many people want to know more about them because they are gradually gaining more fame. The article was not completed when you deleted it. Thanks for making an entire hour of my time researching wasted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PowerSymphonia (talkcontribs) 10:42, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see you didn't yet update Template:FPO number and Portal:Featured content/Portals. Did Portal:Internet and Portal:Kentucky tie for 100th Featured Portal on the English Wikipedia? If so, this would be a neat milestone to report somewhere... Cirt (talk) 17:02, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, please keep me posted. Thanks again for all the work you do at WP:FPORTC. Cirt (talk) 19:41, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alleged sockpuppetry

You have admonished me for filing a CfD for the sockpuppetry case apparently against me. have been accused of being a sockpuppet of myself. This is clearly ridiculous, and an abuse of the whole process. How am I supposed to respond? RolandR (talk) 19:39, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. I have written to Matt offline, explaining the background to the ongoing sockpuppetry abuse of me. All apologies accepted! RolandR (talk) 20:08, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RFA

Thanks for participating in my RFA, which closed successfully with 40 supports, 13 opposes, and 4 neutrals. For those of you who supported my RFA, I greatly appreciate it. For those who did not, I'm also thankful for your constructive criticism. If you need some advice or have some pointers for me, you know where to reach me! A special thank you to Majorly for all his time and effort he has placed in my nomination. Once again, thank you all for your helpful comments. Now off to new admin school!
