Thanks for the words about my uncivil archive. I only move over un-constructive comments related to AfD discussions. The rest of the discussions on my talk page stay there - I like connecting with people here - most are very friendly and positive. I assume your comments come from the mediation request put in about me.-- Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 00:25, 8 August 2006 (UTC) reply

Hi Andypandy.UK! Thank you for taking part in my RfA! Ultimately, it ended with a final result of (62/23/7), and with only 73% support, no consensus was achieved. Nevertheless, I thank you for your constructive criticisms and I will certainly look into your comments. |
[2] You're a strict dude... then, so am I. :) - CrazyRussian talk/ email 16:29, 10 August 2006 (UTC) reply
Re [3], how very inappropriate! May I suggest you revert yourself - you can revert me as well. - CrazyRussian talk/ email 21:10, 10 August 2006 (UTC) reply

Hello! Thank you for participating in my RfA! Unfortunately, it ended with a final result of (32/31/5) which no consensus was achieved. Nevertheless, I'd like to thank you again for your comments and to keep an eye out for me within the next 3 months. If you would like to give any helpful advice, please contact me via my suggestions page for my next RfA. :) SynergeticMaggot 23:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC) reply |

Speedy deletion
Regarding the article Image:HOUSE OF CARDS DISC2-30(2).jpg, which you tagged for speedy deletion with the reason "This image is a redundant (all pixels the same or scaled down) copy of Image:HOUSE OF CARDS DISC2-30(2).jpg, which is on Wikipedia (not Commons), and all inward links have been updated", I wanted you to know that I have removed the speedy deletion tag. This article does not qualify for speedy deletion because the image is not scaled down or duplicate, it is larger. If you still want the article to be deleted, please use the WP:IFD process. Thanks!

Hi there.
Advertising and spam is not a speedy deletion category. (I tried to make it so once, but it hasn't gotten enough support.) Please use prod if something you want deleted doesn't fall under one of the established WP:CSD categories. Thanks. Grandmasterka 03:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

why are you removing wikilinks and wikidates?
Why are you removing wikilinks and wikidates? If this is part of some new policy initiative why doesn't your edit summary point to the policy? -- Geo Swan 20:11, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Could you point me to an example? I've been removing links that are repeated on the page.--Alphachimp talk 20:16, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Here. I believe it would always be a mistake to unlike wikidates, because the wikipedia counts on dates being in the wikidate format in order to allow readers to choose their preferred format for date presentation.
Further explanation to follow. -- Geo Swan 20:26, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Ah, OK the date. Yeah that was the only article in which I changed the format of the date. What's the correct format (I couldn't find anything by searching.). --Alphachimp talk 21:04, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Correct format is February 15, 2000, but only when month, day and year are all present. Otherwise do not wikilink years on their own, unless there is a special reason to do so. Full details can be found here. You might find some useful pages also that I've linked from my user page. Best Tyrenius 01:49, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
OK. What is the appropriate policy for repeated date links? For instance, if I have February 15, 2000, should the next one be February 15, 2000 because of redudancy? Regards, --Alphachimp talk 06:54, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
You always use the wikilink as shown for month, day, year, no matter how many times it's present. This is because the purpose of doing so is not actually to link to something, but to enable people to set their preferences so that the date is displayed in the format they choose. (You can do this in your preferences settings - try it out.) There has been discussion somewhere that this is confusing (as you've found), and then incorrectly encourages people to wikilink partial dates—such as just the year—as a matter of course, which should not be done. Then someone, like User:Rich Farmbrough has to go round de-linking them as here [3]. I hope this is clear, but get back to me if you wish. Tyrenius 14:40, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
That's really interesting. I didn't realize that. Perhaps somebody should contact the developers of AWB, because all dates are flagging as repeated links. Regards, --Alphachimp talk 14:44, 23 June 2006 (UTC)"
I'll answer your questions after the AFD is over. -- Masssiveego 18:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC) reply

request for adminship! With a final vote count of (82/5/0), it succeeded, and I'm now an administrator!

AP,
Given this edit, [4] and others like it, I'd like to know if you are ignoring links. I consider such a "repair" incomplete, since it will leave a red link as soon as Cyde deletes the original template. Rfrisbie talk 14:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC) reply

No, the ignore box isn't ticked. I have {{User jedi}} under the Find column.-- Andeh 15:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Not sure what you mean either. :S -- Andeh 15:09, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Do you intend to modify your bot so that it empties "What links here"? That means transclusions and links.
Please reply on this page. Rfrisbie talk 15:18, 14 August 2006 (UTC) reply
All you have to do is add more find and replace criteria something like these. I don't add brackets for more hits, but you might want to add them to a bot for fewer false positives.

Hi Andeh!
On Kpjas' RFA, you have voted oppose based on his apparent lack of experience, ("You say you want to tackle vandalism yet I see no evidence of vandal fighting already. You have been here since 2001, have less than 100 user talk edits, and less than 200 WP edits"). In fact, Kpjas is already an admin on the Polish Wikipedia, and has 37,000 edits there, including 2,600 to WP space over there. You have opposed based on inexperience, and lack of vandal-fighting but these facts clearly indicate plenty of experience in the required areas. Andeh, you want an experienced editor for admin. Kpjas is clearly experienced. Without badgering you, I urge you to reconsider your vote in this particular RfA. Happy editing! :) -- Firsfron of Ronchester 23:37, 20 August 2006 (UTC) reply

Thanks for your support. You may well be right that I sometimes show symptoms of editcountitis. I like to think of myself as more of a wikipediholic; I was proud of managing a week and a half recently on holiday with only a few dozen edits, although I admit I was shaking and sweating from time to time... Thanks too for flagging up your concerns about my use of AWB; it is a powerful tool and I have certainly been much more circumspect in its use recently, but I will take your criticism very seriously.

Hi there - your lovely bot dropped by my page and has done something odd with a couple of my userboxes. Now...I am only an occasional wikipedian, but I chose those boxes to reflect my own personal twist here. Now they are, well...useless. Please either restore them or tell me (in detail, I have NO programming knowledge) how to do it myself. Thank you. Risker 04:37, 27 August 2006 (UTC) reply

In case you hadn't seen it, I thought I would mention that Runcorn has responded again in some detail to your concerns about his capacity to address vandalism. If you have checked this out already, please ignore my message and apologies for troubling you. Thanks. Tyrenius 21:06, 28 August 2006 (UTC) reply
Your comments have to stay as well. See CrazyRussian's comments. He changed his mind, but had to leave his comments and strike them out. That is what you have to do, if you withdraw your comments. However, I would like to point out that it is not a question of being "wrong". You have seen something which you feel is important and it is your right to state this. This is a free debate. Other people may well have raised it if you didn't. They have doubtless read it and are satisfied with Runcorn's response. Thus it has served a useful function.
If you really want to remove your comments, then they will all have to be struck through, but I can't see any real reason for doing that. That is your choice though. Alternatively, you can strike through any particular comments that you wish to withdraw. Or you can just strike through your "neutral" if you wish to opt out of giving a fixed opinion. Or you can leave all intact.
