User talk:NoSeptember/List of RfA attempts (Chronological)
This is replica work. As you know, I keep track of RfAs. The data that I collect is a superset of what you are planning on doing here. It's a huge amount of work to put together. Some of that data is at User:Durin/RfA results. I've done a large amount of work since that was last updated in October of 2005, including targeting going all the way back to the inception of RfA. At this point, I've collected data on 1,226 RfAs. There's still a large, large amount of work to be done especially in a gap I have from a few months after the beginning of RfA through when I began keeping track in June of '05. --Durin 19:12, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- >I wasn't planning to do anything on this page anyway (it is quite old and untouched). I have my chronological list of the unsuccessful RfAs, and I recently created a list of successful ones (basically copying the WP:RCA archive and then adding the earlier pre-2004 RfAs) - a combined list would just be too big :-p. My current focus is to merely keep these lists updated and to get better information on the pre-2003 admins if possible.
>I am aware that a lot of unsuccessful RfAs have been missed from June 2004 and earlier (basically everything before Cecropia started maintaining WP:RFAF). I see you have been working on Oct 2005.
>You should coordinate with Majorly to avoid a lot of duplicate work - see his new Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/RfA stats. If you are keeping all those RfAs offline without sometimes posting your work on a wiki subpage, duplicate work is bound to happen. I keep everything on wiki and as publically available as possible, largely because I am happy if others want to do the work for me ;). NoSeptember 23:33, 5 February 2007 (UTC)- My intent is to publish my work once it's complete. Majorly's work is a subset of mine. Yeah, I've been hitting the October 2006's because I hadn't completed reviewing them. --Durin 02:23, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- When is the book coming out? ;) NoSeptember 14:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- Know any good publishers? :) I think I'll get a good copy machine and print-on-demand publish and get amazon.com to list it. --Durin 16:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC)R
- You know I would have missed the original message here had I not been looking at your contributions (it was not on my watchlist any more). I was looking at your contributions because
of your recent Oct 2006 additions to WP:RFAF pagesI was stalking you. NoSeptember 16:26, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- I just knew someone was out to get me. I'm not paranoid! It's fact! Ha! --Durin 17:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
