Admin

Tiptoety, you are a committed editor here, with an impressive record, and you really have the qualities to be an admin, in fact I can't understand why you aren't. Age should not be a barrier, since we have had 13 and 14-yo admins already. If you think you can take the heat, why don't you go for it? I would support you all the way. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 01:30, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much for showing your confidence in me as a user here, it is much appreciated. I would also like to commend you for all of your great contributions to the project. The reason i have not held another RfA is because i am honoring my promise from my last RfA to wait until someone else has nominated me. Plus i have been waiting for the "right time", but to be honest i am not sure when the "right time" is, who knows it may be now, or in 5 months. :) Tiptoety talk 02:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I don't know when your last RfA was; it doesn't matter that much to me, except that a too-soon RfA would be seen as premature, particularly if there were issues there that were not perceived as addressed between then and now. However, when I look at what an admin should be doing, you appear to be admirably qualified right now. I will gladly nominate you myself, subject to looking at your previous RfA. If you feel confident, please count me on your side. My view is that the project could do with admins exactly like you. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 02:46, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I would be honored to have you as my admni nominator. Like you stated my first RfA was pre-mature and was me not completely grasping what a administrator does here at the project. My second one had some contreversial issues in it, which i have fixed sense. One issue is that i had a userbox stating that i was a police officer, when in fact i am only a police cadet, I have sense removed that userbox along with any others that have been viewed as controversial. The decision to nominate me is 100% up to you and if you feel that the concerns raised in my previous RfA's have not been adequately dealt with by me, then feel free to let me know and i would be happy to improve and wait. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 05:59, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi there; I've had a chance to look at your last RfA, and I hadn't realised it was that recent- whilst I think you are ready to go again, it's clear from looking at other RfAs that a gap of three months is usually the minimum acceptable. Also, looking at your stats, your Talkspace edits are still almost twice those to Mainspace, and that will be against you. I think it probably best to wait a little while yet and see if you can bump up your Mainspace tally; I will gladly nominate you then. Regards, --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 17:05, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Again, I'm astonished, since I last saw your latest post in WP:ANI]. It is, to me, sad that when it comes to an RfA, it seems to be numbers that matter more than attitude or ability. Your attitude is what matters, but an RfA seems to be geared towards numbers, and that is why I suggested yesterday that you should address that issue. It has been suggested to me that I should go for admin myself, but to be honest, I would not feel happy about a self-nomination. Sadly, there are some people who think that that is self-aggrandisement, but I suspect that they really imagine that being an admin is only about wielding power; and, of course, it isn't. It is more about commitment to the values of the project than anything else, and the "big stick" of course comes with a responsibility to "speak softly". As I say, you would be a good admin when the time comes, and it won't be long; and I'll gladly support you. Regards, --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 04:53, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that; the mop & bucket is no big thing, really. I have had my name down for admin mentorship since October, but only because I think I can do it, although that process is totally stalled. User:Jehochman, a major player here, has indicated that I am ready and should go for it, but I am still undecided. I need to get some things sorted out for myself here; but I am on a knife-edge as to whether I should put myself forward. There are some people, sadly, who think a self-nom is somehow arrogant; I don't see that, considering that almost everything you do as an admin is open to review. Thanks for your support, but now may not be the best time for me. Tomorrow, however....--Rodhullandemu (Talk) 05:17, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Oregon GA COTW

Howdy to WikiProject Oregon members, time for another edition of the Collaboration of the Week. As you may have already noticed, our flagship article Oregon is up for the third time as we make a push to get WP:GA status before going for WP:FA. Since this will take some time to get where it needs to be, this will be the COTW for more than just a week. Also, so we hopefully don’t trip over ourselves, try to coordinate on the article’s talk page. Once again, to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here.

On another note, just a general good job/pat on the back to the project for a great 2007, the first full year of the project. We had 83 DYKs about Oregon, improved one article to FA, and went from around 4 GAs to 17 GAs. Plus numerous new articles, improvements to existing, the introduction of the COTW, and the introduction of article assessment at the project. Again, great job and here’s to a new year.

My RfA

Hey there, I'm writing to inform you that I have withdrawn my request for adminship, which was currently standing at 11 supports, 22 opposes and 6 neutrals. This count could have been so much better if I had understood policy, although I believe that 17 questions is a lot to ask of a user's first RfA. I will take on all comments given at the RfA and will endeavour to meet the high expectations of the RfA voters. WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDENplay it cool. 21:19, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

RfA

Thanks for your support, I wasn't expecting to be running so quickly, but I got an offer of a nom out of the blue and went with it. I didn't want to be seen soliciting or canvassing. Your questions are in hand and I hope the correct result is reached. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 01:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which closed unsuccessfully with 25 support, 18 oppose, and 6 neutral. Thanks for stating your rationales why I should not be granted this time and I'll try my best to deal with it. I'll look forward working with you. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 07:12, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Great, where are you wanting to start? You can start off quick and move right into creating articles, we can take it a bit slower by going over policies, or you can work on doing some newpage and recent change patrolling (ridding wikipedia of vandals). I am not sure what you are interested in doing here. Tiptoety talk 20:05, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm interested in the whole getting rid of vandals thing. KC109 (talk) 20:06, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Okay, i notice that you have already been doing a little of that on your own, do you currently use any tools (automated systems) to do your vandal fighting? Tiptoety talk 20:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Not really, no, I just go to recent changes and look for page blankings and such —Preceding unsigned comment added by KC109 (talkcontribs) 20:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I have the mop but can you search the RFA meeting shown to find the bucket?
Thanks for your support, my request for adminship passed 60/0/0 yesterday!

I want to thank Mrs.EasterBunny and Royalbroil for nominating me, those who updated the RfA tally, and everyone for their support and many kind words. To paraphrase a president ... I wish my mum and dad could see the comments made. My dad would be so proud to see the comments ... and my mum would have believed them". I will do my best to use the new tools carefully and responsibly (and you may be surprised to find that I have not deleted all of the pages by accident..... yet).

RfA thank-spam

Tiptoety/Archive 6, I wish to tender my sincere thanks for your support in my successful request for adminship, which ended with 37 supports, 2 opposes, and 2 neutral. The results of the RfA are extremely bittersweet because of the recent departure of my nominator, Rudget. Hopefully I can live up to his and your expectations. I would especially like to thank Epbr123 and TomStar81 for mentioning that they were preparing to offer me a nomination. The past week has been one of the most stressful weeks in my life, and I appreciate your vote of confidence in me. If you ever need anything, just get in touch. -MBK004 21:06, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the star. I like to find useful bits amoungst the garbage. Sometimes there is a real gem! That's what makes WP:AFC work attractive. If you don't have enough to do, go back and look at some of that stuff from 2006. There is still a couple of months worth of contributions to sort through. Creating AFC stuff also makes you a magnet for speedy delete and copyvio warnings. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:22, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

About you denial of a request for creation on 2008-01-24

Yesterday, 2008-01-24, I added a request for creation of an article on a sofware title called MagicDisc. You have denied the request and referred me to the notability guidelines.

What I do not understand is the difference between this specific piece of software, which actually has been referred to in Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_image_software and does have an "empty" article, and similar competitors. As I had written in my request for creation, if an article on the Daemon-Tools Suite is "encyclopedic" so is an article on MagicDisc.

Moreover, my request article was in a rather unbiased tone similar to many other articles on software products already present on Wikipedia.

As for the notability bit, this piece of software is quite as "notable" as any other software with a purpose, e.g. Microsoft Windows, Winamp, the Bourne Again Shell, the C Shell, OpenBSD, IBM z/OS, Dilo web browser, Mozilla FireFox, PuTTY, the OpenSSH suite and others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.147.204.123 (talk) 11:08, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Tiptoety/Archive 6, Thank you for your support in my RFA which passed 43/0/1. I would like to especially thank Bibliomaniac15 for being my nominator and admin coach.

Tiptoety/Archive 6, thank you for showing your support in my RFA which passed with 38 support, 0 oppose, and 0 neutral! I also want to give special thanks to my Admin Coach and nominator, Useight for all of his help and support.

Comment

Someone complained that a user is blanking his own page. But this shows that he is receiving the warnings. This is good, not bad! Whoaslow (talk) 03:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, there is the controversy, some users think it is just a way for trolls to remove warnings from their page in hopes of disrupting wikipedias anti-vandal process and making it harder for newer vandal fighters to know if the user has been previously warned. While others agree with your point of view that if the user blanks, that means they have read them. Tiptoety talk 04:04, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which was unsuccessful with 19 support, 18 oppose, and 5 neutral. I have signed up for admin coaching and will retry later on in a couple more months.

I'm sorry you felt I am inexperienced to become an admin. I hope that by performing more edits on Wikipedia in the next few months that I could possibly change your mind by my next RfA, possibly around May 2008. You have brought up several very good points, in which I wish to work on during admin coaching. Thank you for providing constructive feedback instead of a simple "Oppose" or that one "Strong Oppose" vote for unknown reasons. - Jameson L. Tai talkcontribs 05:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Sure, glad to help, and like i said, improve and come back and prove us (the opposer's) all wrong, I think with some admin coaching you will surely pass your next RfA. I will keep my eye out for it! Cheers, Tiptoety talk 05:13, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

AfC

Hi Tiptoety! I noticed that when you review articles at AfC, you seem to be using a different template to others. At the top it might have {{#switch:|accept={{afc a}}|mm={{afc mm}}|#default={{afc r}}}}. What's the score here? I've recently started helping at this page. I find it's a great way to force you to read all the policies! Best regards, MSGJ (talk) 23:18, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Sure, it depends on if i am using the script (which can be found here) or not. If i am using Firefox or IE then i use the script and it auto closes the submission for me. But when i am not using the script i close it myself, and the form in which i do that changes (it depends on which template i can remember off the top of my head). I would recommend using the script as it does it for you nice and easy. If you have any more questions, or if i just confused you even more let me know and i will do my best to help. Cheers!

Speedy deletion of Wake Forest Demon Deacons football, 1940-1949

I see nothing wrong with this page as it is. I styled this page, as all Wake Forest history pages off of the Florida Gators historical pages. What is wrong with it?Rebajc3 (talk) 17:38, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I have no problem with it now, but when you created the article it lacked much needed content and appeared to be more of just statistics (which violates WP:NOT#STATS). But like i said you added the proper information and it looks fine now. Next time i recommend that you use a sandbox to test your article in before creating it.

Hi, the purpose here is to discuss the actions of hdt83. It appears that he is acting as several users who are all Admins. When I try to edit a post (correcting errors) he not only changes it back to his old post then he blocks me. It appears that he is also Gogo Dodo among others. Please look into this as it hurts wiki.

Greetings once again to members of the best encyclopedia online about Oregon (aka WP:ORE)! Last week we improved Neil Goldschmidt to close to GA level, and moved the Wells Fargo Center from Stub to Start for the Collaboration of the Week. This week we’re clowning around with some bozo from Oregon, Pinto Colvig, and then in an attempt to garner another DYK, the rather stubby Cooper Spur. As always, any contribution is appreciated, and to opt out of these messages visit here.

As we have quite a few new members over the last six months, I’ll make another pitch for our various subprojects. Listed here, you will find a variety of groups focused on specific areas of Oregon from transportation to culture. Not only can you sign up and coordinate work there, but each often has useful sources and templates related to that topic. No pressure, just an introduction to those new to the project. Adios.

Editor review

I gave you a review (my first, so correct any mistakes that might be there). You can see it here. Cheers, Kakofonous (talk) 20:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I have asked you a few questions. Tiptoety talk 00:29, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
I responded to those questions, hopefully not too vaguely :). Kakofonous (talk) 00:39, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

The Bronx, Thonx

Tiptoety, I know you're an experienced editor, but when you reverted the vandalism in The Bronx article, you reverted to one that had previously been vandalized. It was hard to spot -- hidden in the references. So I reverted to a previous edit -- not because it was mine, but because it was the last clean one. BTW, I am really impressed with your editing work. Bellagio99 (talk) 02:02, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Oops, my bad. Thank you for correcting my mistake and leaving me a message. Cheers! Tiptoety talk 03:51, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Profg/Archtransit

FYI, this was already checkusered at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Profg. More likely, if I had to guess, Fairchoice (talk · contribs) was created by Archtransit (talk · contribs) for drama/amusement/whatever when he saw Profg's call for meat puppets. Profg (talk · contribs) has revealed his real life identity in the past on Wikipedia. I communicated with him off Wikipedia where he confirmed it - he is a public person whose real life identity is not in question. His motivation for being here and his behavior was obviously incompatible with Wikipedia, but he is most certainly not Archtransit or someone who would engage in Archtransit's childish games. --B (talk) 02:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for clearing that up. Feel free to correct anything i have said/done on AN/I or related to Profg/Archtransit that is incorrect. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 02:05, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Would you mind tagging Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Archtransit as a db-author? No pages exist in this category now. — Save_Us 02:09, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Adoption

I aceept your offer of adoption. Thank you, I've been looking for an adopter for a while now, I'm glad someone has offered. Can we discuss the details on my talk page? Steve Crossin (talk) 05:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

  • On the topic of warning that user, I'm not sure which warning template to use. Which one would you suggest? Steve Crossin (talk) 05:17, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • I gave a warning to the user. My main concern at the moment, is there is a user, who is intent on merging almost all the characters into one article. Does this template WP:FICTWARN also apply to articles that have been tagged for merging?

Im reading up on some policies right now. Steve Crossin (talk) 05:37, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

  • So, does this mean, that the injunction only prevents the deletion of fictional characters, or TV series episodes? A user who has been aggressive with merges before, commented that the injunction was of "little relevance". [2] I tried asking an arbitrator on their talk page for clarification, however I got no response. Is there any way to have the injunction enforced? I am just concerned that I might make an edit, and have the page merged anyway. Steve Crossin (talk) 06:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • I've checked that injunction a lot, however when the injunction was pointed out to them, they said: "That has a small relation to this case. The fact that policies and guidleines are still being breeched is not being addressed by this pointless procrastinating" [3] Is there a possibility of a move protection for the articles, if attempts to merge, or redirect the pages, persist? I also have a question about WP:FICT. What makes an external source credible? Is it specifically asking for newspaper articles? because not many would exist for 24 characters, I believe. I found some sources for Karen Hayes, they are on that articles talk page. Would you be able to, at some point, check the links there, and see if they are OK to use as citations. Thanks. Steve Crossin (talk) 06:22, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Is it OK with you if I reorganise your comments on my talk page? I would only be adding bullets next to the comments, it just improves the layout of the page, and improves readability. Your actual comments would not be modified. Is this OK? I'll wait for the all-clear before I make the edit. Steve Crossin (talk) 06:26, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • I saw your comments on the Karen Hayes talk page, what did you think of the other external links? I just did a Yahoo search. Steve Crossin (talk) 15:21, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Just saw your revised comment. Would you suggest the article be rewritten? And, if so, would you be willing to help at all? Steve Crossin (talk) 15:24, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

WP:AFC Backlog Drive

WikiProject Articles for creation needs your help!
WikiProject Articles for creation has done a tremendous job in working at WP:AFC over the past 7½ months. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication! Together, we've made the submission process easier and more streamlined, developed tools to make the process go faster for reviewers, and cut the backlog down to a mere fraction of what it once was. Well done!

As you all are aware, however, our work is not quite yet done. The project still has 10 archive pages left to complete, which include over half a month's worth of submissions, many of which have not been completely reviewed. We need your help to finish looking over these neglected submissions so that we can finally remove the backlog notice from the page, and put an end to the more than two year old backlog that has been a thorn in our side for ages! Participants will receive an AFC Barnstar, so hurry up and help out while there's still work to be done! Make sure to sign in on the WikiProject's talk page so we know who is involved in what promises to be our final effort to complete this goal. Thank you for all your help!
- Happy editing as always, Hersfold (t/a/c) 16:32, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Rollback userbox

I just deleted the page User:Rjd0060/temp which contained that userbox I made. I see you have it on your userpage. If you want, I can give you the code for it and you can store it in your own userspace. - Rjd0060 (talk) 02:16, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Naw, I will just remove it. Thanks! Tiptoety talk 04:43, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
