User talk:Cecropia/Archive 16

thanks!

Thanks for handling my promotion to admin, and especially thanks for your good wishes. It's been a real morale boost to get such warm support from Wikipedia folks in the RFA process. All the best, FreplySpang (talk) 01:30, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Harro5

Hey Cecropia!

I just noticed that your edit statement said that Harro5 was promoted, but then I saw that there wasn't any concencus. Hehe, which was it? Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 03:48, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

All's well that ends ... -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 04:07, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thank you and Question

Hi, thank you for the congrats. I've been so busy writing articles that now I happen to notice that my User Page still doesn't have any of those wonderful administrator buttons. I'm not in a hurry, just curious. How long do you think it would be before my power buttons appear? Thank you and have a nice day Marine 69-71 06:29, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for answering but, I logged in and there's still no "buttons" on my page. Help! Marine 69-71 14:43, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for sysopping me, and also for your congratulations. JYolkowski // talk 18:51, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thank you

Hi Cecropia, just thought I should drop by and thank you for promoting me. Cheers, →Ingoolemo← ^talk 03:42, 2005 Jun 7 (UTC)

Voting contiues on archive

I've noticed that several users have voted after the close of the deadline, Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship/Michael Hardy. This first caught my attention when Michael reverted a vote, a few days ago, I think. I noticed that another user has since voted, and I was going to revert them as well until I noticed that there were other users who had voted afterwards as well. I realize the votes don't count, but what since the other votes have not been remove— what exactly is the policy on late votes? -JCarriker 08:37, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

RfA/administration

Many thanks! I will indeed read those, and I am very glad to have been elected. Schissel : bowl listen 04:53, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

Adminship

Thank you very much. Guettarda 04:18, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Headings for very long pages

Cecropia, it is extremely difficult to add a contribution to a page when one has to scroll forever and ever inside the little edit window. One gets lost, the text all looks the same, etc. The headings bring up the section edit links, which are so incredibly convenient. In your edit summary, you said "We do not use subheds in RfAs", but you didn't state why. Just wondering. func(talk) 07:25, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The burdens of bureaucracy

Cecropia, you've been working hard at promoting new admins. I hope you're not tired. Do you need help?

What do you think of using subsections for prospects who have several dozen response lines? Does it help to divide into yes/no/maybe sections - as I did for Ta bu shi da yu? -- Uncle Ed (talk) 13:10, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

Subheds in RfA

Hi Uncle, I also heard from func on this. I guess it's not such a big deal to use subheds, so do it if you think it will help and we'll see if it becomes a problem somehow or anyone complains. Cheers and felicitations, Cecropia | explains it all ® 02:58, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's really your call - based on the principle that whoever works the hardest gets to make the rules. If there's just a few votes it's not needed, but when 50 people vote yes, it's hard to scroll down (in the edit window) to find the end of the yeses. (The tools are meant to serve us, not limit us.) All the best. -- Uncle Ed (talk) 03:12, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

No big thing, Ed. Of all the things that keep me awake at night, subheds on RfA don't quite make the radar. If it can help voters vote, and it doesn't bother anyone else, why not? -- Cheers! Cecropia | explains it all ® 03:20, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thank you

Thank you for promoting me, especially when it was such a close call.  Grue  05:34, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Theo RFA

Thank you for the promotion. I am slightly taken aback since I did not expect anything to be enacted before the stated deadline but I am delighted by this develeopment that is "no big deal". NO big deal for the community I hope but most affirming for the subject.—Theo (Talk) 06:36, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Polls

I find your pattern of starting polls whenever you and I disagree on bureaucratship matters to be unhelpful, particularly since you often start them prior to any discussion taking place. One might even conclude that, by rushing to a vote, you are trying to discourage any meaningful discussion. Perhaps you would be willing to remove your poll until a few days have passed to allow for some comments. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 17:22, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you further...

Hello!

I've left a message for you at:

Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship#Renomination_experiment.

RfA

Cecropia, I actually did repond to all of these concerns on the RfA talk page about an hour before you cast your oppose vote. I hope you'll read that (more elaborated) justification and explanation of why I did what I did. I apologize for the confusion and realize now that I should have explained myself better to begin with; that way we could have avoided all this guessing about my intentions (which I obviously failed to make clear in the first place). Again, my sincere apologies for raising tensions like this in unproductive ways. -- Seth Ilys 22:03, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Cecropia, would you be able to answer my comment on your oppose vote? I'm not sure if you're against me as an admin or if you're against the renomination system. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 17:03, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

Linuxbeak

Looks like the page was deleted while I was editing it, and so I recreated it. Should I delete it again? I had no intention of recreating it. Guettarda 17:14, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Looked at the deletion log, realised Linuxbeak deleted it himself - so I re-deleted it. Guettarda 17:17, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

WP:RFA

I have posted a response to your 'Oppose' vote to my renomination. -- Francs2000 | Talk 17:20, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thanks for certifying the consensus and processing my adminship. And for all the other maintenance that you do. Cheers, -Willmcw June 28, 2005 21:58 (UTC)
