My RfA
ThanksThanks for reverting vandalism on my page. Keep up those sharp reflexes! СПУТНИКССС Р 00:58, 5 March 2006 (UTC) Weee!Thanx for letting me leave on a good note! 68.39.174.238 03:19, 5 March 2006 (UTC) Shacknews articleThanks for blocking 68.57.158.115 from vandalizing the Shacknews article repeatedly. He has been doing so for months now, much to chargin of many contributors to that article. Thank you :) sikander 03:25, 5 March 2006 (UTC) AwardYour opinion is needed..On whether or not someone should get unblocked or not. 69.137.234.44 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) was blocked a while back for persistant vandalism for a month. But it appears a good-faith editor, User:OsFan, has the above IP shared with someone else. OsFan has been blocked from editing for another 8 days. OsFan has requested to be unblocked so he can resume editing. I was wondering if we should lift the block on the IP so OsFan can edit? Moe ε 01:58, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I saw that you put the alternate "undeletion" template here as opposed to {{tempundelete}}. I see the advantages of not making them look at the history, but the one you used says "You are welcome to edit this article..." Which in fact I almost did to correct the broken ref tag before I noticed it was actually protected. Do you think that the underlying template should get edited to reflect the "we protect these while on DRV" thing? I've also proposed the page protection policy be explicitly extneded to cover this, since we do it all the time and it's been pointed out it is contra-policy. - brenneman{T}{L} 12:15, 6 March 2006 (UTC) anon vandalIP 212.138.47.18 should probably be banned. (talk) See [1], [2], [3], and [4] (changing the link to bad link). He does have some useful edits, but some of his vandalism is of the sneaky kind. You warned him about his behavior on Feb 12, but he's continuing. Thanks. --Fang Aili 18:42, 8 March 2006 (UTC) WP 1.0Hi Titoxd, Thanks a lot for signing up for WP1.0, and for getting involved already. I've already appreciated the pioneering activities of the tropical cyclones folks in organisation & assessment, so I'm really pleased to see you getting involved. I wanted to ask a couple of questions -
By the way, do you take your user name for Titanium dioxide? I uploaded the pic for that page! Thanks again, I really appreciate your involvement, Walkerma 15:47, 9 March 2006 (UTC) Thanks for your reply and your postings. You have a lot of good ideas, I really appreciate the input. Walkerma 04:32, 14 March 2006 (UTC) Admin CoachingHey Tito! How have you been? I don't want you to answer or do anything about admin coaching until you answer that! Now down to business, Bugs pulled out, see my talk page, and Ian13 has been made an admin, so if you could address that for me I will be much obliged. Also can coaches request trainee's? Ones that we know, and are on friendly terms with. It might more efficient with regards to giving advice and helpful pointers. Either way cheers, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Adolf Hitler's sexual orientation (second nomination)I relisted this page for deletion. It might have been too soon, but a vote to delete would be appreciated. Thanks. --Mmeinhart 13:56, 13 March 2006 (UTC) Ban meSince you are an administrator, I'd like to request that you please ban this account (User:Michelle T) because I changed my username and I don't want anyone taking this one and impersonating me. Also, please protect my user and user talk pages so the redirects to my new name don't get changed by someone. Let me know on my proper talk page, which this page redirects to (that's my new name). Thank you. Michelle T 19:40, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
My RfAI'm extremely honoured. I just wanted to note that I have two Featured Lists and one Featured Article (instead of 3 FAs) and that I'm not so much of a regular in AfD anymore. You may also mention that I help maintain Portal:Mexico with User:Fito :-D I also have a "no objection arguing" policy in RfAs (and have even opposed nominations on that basis) so if it comes to that I kindly ask you to deal with that. I would help you with that, of course, but that would be via normal talk page discussion. Needless to say, I would reply to questions asked to me directly. Please let me know if this is alright with you. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 13:05, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Love the Status templates... and I just put them on my page. Thanks for them. --Mmounties (Talk) 00:53, 17 March 2006 (UTC) Encephalon RFAI know that you have been trying to get Encephalon to run for administrator probably almost as long as I have. I got lucky and caught him at a good time, but I don't wish to hog all the fun. If you wish to co-nominate, you may do so at User:Knowledge Seeker/Encephalon nomination. I have been drafting my nomination statement and it is nearly finished. I think we're planning to go live this weekend. — Knowledge Seeker দ 07:17, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Ok the weekend has come and gone. If you guys don't hurry up, I will nominate Encephalon myself. Paul August ☎ 05:54, 20 March 2006 (UTC) Successful RfA
WikitestI think you missed the point. Such a high score is a sign you need help. A lower score is what should be desired. You should not be proud of a 602. You need to check yourself in to a mental hospital somewhere. Really. I don't want to have to read here, someday, that you've gone and killed yourself. That's where you're headed, man, if you don't quit. Admin CoachingHi Titoxd, since my RFA is not doing that well, I would like to be assigned to be an admin coach even if I succeed this RFA. Could I still have my original request? --Terence Ong 14:32, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
We have problemsHola Titoxd, quisiera que dieras una alerta contra User:Seanver, ya que está haciendo de las suyas vandalizando varias páginas de usuario de usuarios de la Wikipedia en Español, con el asunto de McFinnigan; yo estaba al margen de ese asunto pero este susodicho está involucrando a todo mundo. Espero que veas sus contribuciones, parece que está determinado a molestar.--Taichi 14:33, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I was wondering if I met most of the objections (or holds), since it is pretty much agreed that the copyright situation is a myth. While I felt the need for that to be there, we should use the article to help "myth-bust."

DelTito, are you online? Do you think you could delete this page, so that Seeker's subpage can be moved properly to it? I've already moved the old page here. I'll go edit Seeker's subpage now, while trying not to die of embarrassment. ;-) Thanks —Encephalon 06:02, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
blockingFair enough, I didn't check the contributions, and I seem to be getting increasingly, and perhaps excessively, intolerant. thanks jimfbleak 07:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC) pacific best-trackThe pacific best-track can be downloaded from the NHC in the obnoxious "hurdat" format [5]. THe Atlantic best-track is available at [6] in many different useful forms, and I suspect the Pacific data has a similar "homepage" somewhere else with the easy-to-read and tab-separated forms. However I don't know where. — jdorje (talk) 08:25, 20 March 2006 (UTC) Tawkerbot2I've talked to Tim Starling and he made a change to the IRC feed which I think will stop the false blamings, I've asked Shanel to unblock whilst its in non commit (eg non editing / non warning / debug) mode. Just so you know, you can use "ctawkbot norevert" on the irc channels and it will stop the bot from editing only pages. I'll be on IRC tonight if you have any questions :) -- Tawker 01:08, 21 March 2006 (UTC) Page move requestWould it be possible to move Talk:Hurricane Paul (1982) to Talk:Hurricane Paul? The main page, Hurricane Paul, was moved before, but now the talk page and article are out of order. Hurricanehink 00:22, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Cyclone Larry and NPAWouldn't this post be enough for a short time-out, or a talk on their talk page? --AySz88^-^ 04:39, 22 March 2006 (UTC) DYKRfA thanks!Hi Tito! Thank you for supporting my application for the mop and flamethrower. It passed at 105/1/0, putting me in WP:100 - I'm delighted and surprised! I'm always happy to help out, so if you need anything, please drop me a line. Cheers! ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 20:23, 22 March 2006 (UTC) MentorThank you for volunteering! You are now a mentor. You should probably introduce yourself to T-man, and acquaint yourself with the current situation. Thanks. Dmcdevit·t 07:35, 23 March 2006 (UTC) User:A CitizenI'd just thought I'd bring this to your attention. A user named A Citizen is posting links to the Wikipedia Revolution and TJWhite. Something should be done about him. Hurricanehink 22:42, 24 March 2006 (UTC) This is what was said. Hurricanehink 22:43, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
A reply - Cyclone LarryHi Titoxd. Thanks for your message. I entirely agree that TydeNet's comments were inappropriate, that they were in breach of WP:NPA, and that personal attacks shouldn’t go unchecked. I don't think that anybody disagrees on this point. TydeNet has himself apologised (see the bottom of this page). I’ve gone back and read the archive and realised that you weren’t as involved in the discussion as I had assumed so I apologise for making that assumption and for reading your comments as a threat. . I felt that your warning could have been worded a little more directly to make it clear that it was a warning. I acknowledge that you intended your comment to be a warning, but it could have been read as a contribution to the debate (and from TydeNet's subsequent comments, it is clear that he did read it that way). I think it would have been better to clearly state that "your comments above constitute personal attacks. This is a warning that if you continue personal attacks you will be blocked". A similar warning should also have been placed on TydeNet's talk page. Mentioning the need to cite sources seems to have been read by TydeNet as a further contribution to the debate. I realise that it is a fine line, but to avoid confusion I think its just best to keep things clear. Whether or not your warning constituted a proper warning or was read as such, NSLE still shouldn't have been the admin to place the block and 31 hours was (in my view) excessive. He should have asked somebody else to look at it, and that was essentially my issue which I raised with him on his talk page. He chose to reply by focusing on the issue of your warning and ignoring the other issues I had raised. I think people are generally a bit tired of this debate and I think we’re probably at the point where we can move on. When NSLE returns from Wikibreak I’ll try to resolve my differences with him without causing him any more wikistress. I hope that everyone can take some lessons from the whole thing and move on. -- Adz|talk 03:20, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Deletion?20:41, March 24, 2006 Titoxd deleted "Image:McCoy-Martinez.jpg" (OTRS request), the contextual image of officers McCoy and Martinez in the article Charles Whitman. I did a quick check of OTRS and have no idea what you mean, or why you deleted the image, had I tagged it incorrectly, or what was the reasoning?

If your Collge/University is not there feel free to make create one or let me known and I'll make it (User: Lufthmark) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Userboxes/Education/Mexico YeahI guess you finally did. ;-) I'm still getting used to the extra buttons; they look dangerously close to one another. I suppose that's the idea ;-). Thank you for all the kind things you've said and done, and all you've taught me. I don't say much, I guess, but it's something I should say more to you. Thanks Tito. —Encephalon 07:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC) Hi, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind lending your opinion to a content dispute that I am currently involved in on University of South Carolina. USC has a strong athletic rivalry with Clemson University. I feel that the athletics section of the article should discuss this rivalry, and I feel that this discussion should include a reference to the overall record between the two schools in various major sports. Other editors have disagreed, and feel that the record should not be mentioned. As it happens, Clemson leads in two of the discussed sports and USC leads in the third. I would appreciate it if you would consider lending your opinion on this issue on Talk:University of South Carolina. Thanks! Ëvilphoenix Burn! 00:47, 30 March 2006 (UTC) Re: SourcesNah, I don't have a subscription to the Atlantic City press, and I'm not sure what we should do about it (I forgot you can't cite blogs). Hurricanehink 02:03, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Re: About WP:1.0Hi, Tito. Er, I'm not sure what you're asking. The scale we're using is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine#Status; it looks at least approximately equivalent to the scale you're using. What else do you want? To generate a list of core articles? To rate them? — Knowledge Seeker দ 03:10, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
