Awarding Barnstar

		The Barnstar of Good Humor
		Aprils fools day was a blast. Loads of users lightened up to have good old fashion fun. I want to thank you for taking part in editing this page in particular and even though I may not know you, embrace the same talk pages, or even edit with you in the near future, I'd like to award you this Barnstar for making Wikipedia a fun environment in which to contribute. Until next year. :) SynergeticMaggot (talk) 13:29, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

Thanks for handing me the Rollback feature. I hope I can try it soon to understand why this is faster than Tinkle. -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:36, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Co-nom

If you're willing to give one, I'd gladly accept it. --Sharkface217 00:57, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

And by that I mean, thanks. --Sharkface217 01:14, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

My RFA

Just a heads up, I'll be accepting my RFA tomorrow between 6 and 8 PM EST. --Sharkface217 03:12, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Admin coaching

I noticed your username listed under active admin coaches. I was wondering if you could be my admin coach, since you stated that you have no limit as to the number of students you can take. I have briefly glanced over the contents of your four phase program, and it appears this would be very helpful to me on my path. Please leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. :) —  scetoaux (T/C) 00:27, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Look Who's Back

Isn't it amazing how things just pop into your head and you leave yourself thinking that you are really stupid? Well i remembered, Yay me. Well i don't want to take up all your precious space you all knowing old man,so for now i bid you a true farewell. Warren oO (talk) 01:06, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

References challenge

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add it right away. --Sharkface217 02:59, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, I cannot thank you enough for this. I have been vandalized many times, but nothing has even come close to that guy. As far as I can remember , that is the first time a vandalism on my userspace actually disturbed me. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 01:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I have like 130 vandalisms altogether across my userspace, but I don't get my pages semi-protected because I think that almost seems like letting the vandals win. (they'll think "He got me blocked, but he's too much of a coward to let me fight back") Besides, I've reverted the Genesis Vandal a few times and got "struck" by him, and semi-protection wouldn't help there, and I can't fully protect my page because then I couldnt edit my own userpage. Even so, if I get hit by people like that guy (but not him), I will definitely think seriously about requesting protection for my userpage... I don't know why that bothered me so much, but it did. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 01:28, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I took so long to reply, I was looking for this, which I replied when I was asked why I don't get my userspace semi-protected.:

“ Yeah, I know, but in my mind, protecting my userpage does two things:

1. It lets the vandals win—"He warned me but he's scared I'll fight back, so he has his userpage protected."
2. It lets the vandals let out steam.—"I got blocked, but I sure told him off..." Since I don't care what vandals think about me, I just let them spew off. If my page was protected, the vandal's anger could build up and they could turn themselves into another Hitler. I know that's probably a stretch, but you never know.

The reason I have all that crap on my userpage is to force vandals to work if they want to vandalize my userpage unobtrusively. Unless you know HTML and wikimarkup fairly well, you will not be able to figure out what is going on with my userpage. So basically, the only thing they can do is blank the page and/or add content that will be obviously out of place. Or they can add stuff to that banner, which I could quote to you in my sleep...

”

I hope that explains my reasoning. I do, however, always give vandals a final warning after they vandalize my userspace. Do you think that is being vindicative or retaliatory? Or is a legitimate defense of my personal reputation and honor?

lol! I know what you mean. I actually got a hate article, J. delanoy (EDIT: yes, the space is supposed to be there/EDIT)(I don't know if the deleted text is still there, if you're interested, I can email it to you–it is quite amusing) a few weeks ago and I got another admin to show me the text. (I was asleep when the article was created, so I didn't see it before it was summarily eradicated) It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when I am doing my job so well that someone would actually take the time to make such a detailed hate page for me. *sniff* I'm just so sentimental.... :P J.delanoy^gabs_adds 01:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, check your email.... J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:07, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I certainly think it's a shame he only used his talents to disparage me. Just a question: Do you know if an admin can be throttled while using rollback? J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

No, I mean that if I do too many rollbacks in a short period of time, like when I am rolling back all of a repeat vandal's contributions vandalisms it comes up with a page that says something like "Action Throttled Your action has been throttled as an anti-spam measure for making too many edits in a short period of time. Please wait a few moments before trying again" Does that ever happen to admins? J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:30, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

ROFL. Sorry for not being clear on that. :-D J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

BTW, can you move-protect my userpage and talk page? I am just picturing a vandal moving it to some random page, then a novice vandal-fighter moving it back to the wrong place, and me having to file a request to get my userpage back in the right place because of the "no moving pages over an edited redirect" or whatever it is. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. So, does move-protection not apply to the owner of a userpage? I'm confused because the "move" link is still there. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. I sometimes revert vandalism on semi-protected pages, and I can't think of there is no reason for my userpage to be moved. If I ever do need it moved, I can ask an admin to do it for me. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again. Here's a little something else in addition to the "thank you"...

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		For reverting vandalism on my userpage, blocking the vandal, laughing at my hate page along with me, offering to semi-protect my userpage, answering my questions, move-protecting my userpage on my request, re-move-protecting my userpage so that only sysops can move it, spending the better part of an hour talking to me... (need I go on?) I, J.delanoygabsadds, humbly award you this barnstar with many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many thanks. (count the many's. Then count the reasons I gave for awarding this barnstar...)J.delanoygabsadds 03:00, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: RfA?

I am going to need to think about this before officially accepting or declining your offer to nominate me as I would like to analyze my previous RfAs to see if I have satisfied the concerns of the opposers. Sorry for the delay and thank you for offering to nominate me. Hopefully, I will get back to you shortly. :) Captain panda 03:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

WP:LINY

Hello, Malinaccier. I was wondering if you would like to join wikiProject Long Island. If you never heard of Long Island, it is a beautiful place popular with tourists because of its beaches, most notably Jones Beach, Montauk Point, and The Hamptons. Please answer quickly because the newsletter is coming in soon. Don't worry, I won't make you contribute. Just do it for the heck of it, and the fact the Long Island is a great place to be.

A small request

I caught you in RC, so can you move this to User:Jj137/typos.js? Thanks! - Milk's favorite Cookie 22:25, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Admin Coaching

Can you admin coach me? Nothing444^{Go Irish!} 23:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I think you remember me. Didn't you say you weren't open for any coachees (I'm not asking, I already have a coach)?--RyRy5 ^{Got something to say?} 23:47, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, in about 30 days you're gonna give me rollback, right? (remember that discussion we had? its probably in your archives) Nothing444^{Go Irish!} 23:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm just making sure. So, how do you like mu redesigned user and talk pages (userspace)? BTW, my admin coach is User:Jj137.--RyRy5 ^{Got something to say?} 23:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Admin Coaching

Are you sure you can't coach me? Nothing444^{Go Irish!} 00:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Coaching

I believe I'm ready to continue. I answered the first three of the basic RfA questions. —  scetoaux (T|C) 02:15, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

RfA question

"Would I be willing to apply tough blocks?" Sorry, but could you possibly clarify this? Does this mean would I be willing to block someone I like because they were breaking the rules? Thanks. Sabine's Sunbird talk 03:10, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Four phase system

Hi Malinaccier! On this page you state you are currently full up but may be willing to take on extras. I have come to you (to be very cheeky = ) ) and ask whether you would be willing to take me on. I have been wanting to take part in admin coaching for a while now. However I am rather fussy: I would prefer to be coached by somebody I see around a lot (and thus am familiar with, even if we have never actually contacted each other) and somebody who uses your delightful four phase system (which I have reviewed and fallen in love with!). I have also checked your check list and believe to be able to answer most of the requirements affirmatively. If you are not able to take me on I will fully understand (most coaches do not take on four students at a time let a lone five!). However I would ask you to recommend another (free) coach, who (if possible) also uses the four phase system. Thanks in advance --Cameron (t|p|c) 14:55, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

It is enabled now. Thanks I shall look forward to it...= ) --Cameron (t|p|c) 18:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

PS:So sorry, I only just saw all the above requests for coaching. I wouldnt have asked had I seen them prior to my post. What must you think of my manners = )...--Cameron (t|p|c) 19:13, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

• Joins the queue* (I think they are called lines in USA!?!)...In other words: I choose Option one if the offer still stands, thanks! I have great respect for the other admin you named and see them around a lot but I am willing to wait a while. Thanks for the offer of co-nomming but it looks like you will be nominator number one (depending on whether I pass!). Thanks again, --Cameron (t|p|c) 11:41, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Wow brilliant, I will watch your students' progress eagerly! --Cameron (t|p|c) 12:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's clever. Maybe I might filch a few questions from your four-phase system. Definitely an improvement over what I made you go through! bibliomaniac15 Hey you! Stop lazing around and help fix this article instead! 23:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Projectspace contributions/Award Center

 Done I think. Feel free to check.--RyRy5 ^{Talk to RyRy} 03:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Would you oblige my tedious questions?

Sorry I am just so excited already! I have a few questions for you:

• Is there anything I could prepare for already?
• How long does your training course usually take?
• Do you have a co-coach? If so who is he/she?
• Should I have a specific edit count before starting the programme?

Thanks so much! --Cameron (t|p|c) 22:15, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I thought you might not be feeling well when I saw that you didnt have any contribs since 11 April. Get well soon! Thanks so much for the answers...I believe I have all the requirements but will try to do some work at new page patrol anyway. Thanks again! --Cameron (t|p|c) 12:36, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

My Future RfA

Hello! A week or so ago, I said that I would be giving you a formal response on whether I will be having an RfA some time in the near future. Here it is. My official answer is: not quite yet. In the past few days, I have made some calls in nominating articles for deletion that the community believes are incorrect. As deletions are the main thing that I would probably work with as an admin, I feel that it is best not to submit a new RfA until my deletion requests become more in line with the community's consensus. As an admin's views on deletion should be similar to the community consensus, I therefore probably should not be making calls on whether an article should be deleted or not at this time. In short, I think it is best for me to wait a few months until my next RfA. I would like you to nominate me when I feel ready in the future. I hope that you can do that. :) Thanks! Captain panda 01:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

My RFA has closed

My RFA that you weighed in on earlier has closed as no consensus to promote, at a final tally of 120/47/13. I thank you for your feedback and comments there, and I'm going to be considering all the various advice and comments presented. I might end up at RFA again some day, or not. If you see me there again in the future, perhaps you might consider a Support !vote. If not, not, and no hard feelings. The pen is still mightier than the mop! See you around, and thanks again. Lawrence § t/e 18:27, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

RFA Thanks

Thank you for your comments on my RFA. Even though it failed with 28 supports, 42 opposes, and 15 neutrals, I am grateful for the suggestions and advice I have received and I do hope to improve as a Wikipedian. If you ever need my help in any endeavor, feel free to drop me a line. --Sharkface217 19:30, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

My RfA...

Thank you...

...for your participation in my RFA, which closed with 85 supports, 2 neutrals and 1 oppose. I'm extremely grateful for all the the kind comments from so many brilliant Wikipedians I've come to respect and admire, as well as many others I've not yet had the pleasure of working with, and I'll do my best to put my shiny new mop and bucket to good use! Once again, thank you ;)

RfA?

I had someone offer to nominate me for admin, and I was wondering what you thought of my chances of succeeding. My reason for asking this is that I don't want to waste the community's time with a dead-on-arrival RfA and possibly take a blow to my wikimood. I greatly appreciate your advice on this and I await your response. Thanks. Thingg^⊕⊗ 19:07, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the "support." To answer your questions: (1: When will you submit?) I've asked a few other users what they thought about it and I'd like to wait for at least a few more of them to reply; so probably sometime tomorrow morning or afternoon. (2: Have you read through everything on WP:ARL?) Though I am familiar with the topics on Wikipedia policy that relate to everybody, (such as the five pillars) I'm not so familiar with the admin related stuff such as the IP-blocking policy. (I've looked over it on occasion out of curiosity, but never thoroughly because I never thought I'd ever have the opportunity to do an RfA as I would never nominate myself for something like that.) If my RfA succeeds, I can assure you I will definitely pore over the new admin school and other related pages before I perform any admin tasks. (3: May I co-nominate you?) Of course! and thank you very, very much. Thingg^⊕⊗ 22:57, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Can you look at these edits here [3]? When I rolled back the edits, I thought that it was vandalism, but afterwards I realized that they were a new user and probably just were experimenting or trying to find their way around.

Rollback

Thank you very much for trusting me with the tool. The Dominator^Talk_Edits 00:22, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Again thanks, I have a question though, is there some place where I can test it out without reverting somebody's sandbox edit? The Dominator^Talk_Edits 00:28, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thanks for supporting my recent request for adminship which was successful with 89 supports, 0 opposes, and 2 neutrals. Unfortunately all I can offer is this lame text thanks rather than some fancy-smancy thank-you spam template thingy. I was very pleased to receive such strong support and to hear so many nice comments from editors whom I respect. I’ll do my best with the tools, and if you ever see me going astray don’t hesitate to drop a note on my talk page. Thanks again for your support!--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 01:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Lady Aleena's RfA

Malinaccier...Thank you for supporting my nomination for adminship. Through it I have become aware of a great many people who can help me in my future editing endeavors. Even though I was not promoted, your support shows that I still have something to contribute to Wikipedia, even if it is minor edits to fix spelling and grammar to working in WikiProjects to help others make great articles. If you wish to further discuss the nomination, please use its talk page. Stop by my talk page anytime, even if it is just to say hello. Have a wonderful day! - LA @ 04:07, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I look forward to using the tools you have granted me to aid the project. I would like to give special thanks to Wizardman, Black Falcon and jc37 for nominating me. — Horologium
