Hello
Hello to you too :), thanks for the kind words about the barnstars. What is up with you, have you been playing you Wii for 25 hours a day yet ;). ~
Arjun22:44, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Well I am glad to see that you like it :). About the RFA I am not getting my hopes too high as there are many things that can happen, however I would have never imagined to see so much support at this point in time. I am humbled. Cheers! ~

Thank you for your support in
my RfA, which closed at 111 / 1 / 2. I am humbled and rather shocked to see such kind comments and for it to reach
WP:100. Please feel free to
leave a note if I have made a mistake or if you need anything, I will start out slow and tackle the harder work once I get accustomed to the tools. Thank you once more, I simply cannot express in words my gratitude.
Te hee, Arjun is always right :). Yeah they did beat them in the regular and in the playoffs. (And then they won the Super Bowl). Hooray! Well on another note your RFA is looking like a success! Congrats! ~
Arjun15:59, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Well done on passing your RfA with 94% support - that's a great achievement! You must be pleased at that result. A Bureaucrat will be along shortly to issue you with a shiny new set of admin tools. If you need any assistance in using them then please don't hesitate to ask and I'll do my best to answer. Good luck and happy mopping!
(aeropagitica)19:54, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
And here they are. Have fun with them and don't hesiate to ask questions. Re-read the policies as needed and be carful with the tools. As you get comfortable, dig in and help out with the backlogs. Congrats -
TaxmanTalk20:03, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Congrats, I knew you could do it. If you have any questions feel free to ask me :). Cheers, now get cracking on those backlogs. And I hope to see you on #wikipedia-en-admins soon! ~
Arjun20:07, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Being that you started out your life as a "vandal-only" account, I hope you AGF with new users and treat them the same way if they're vandalizing, by talking them out of their bad behaviour since you yourself had the same experiance. Remember also
WP:BITEJeff Defender20:15, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Jeff, I'm not sure who you think you are fooling. You know far too much about WP policy, guidelines and even obscure essays to be a new user, yet the only actions with this new account of yours (other than vague recent followup excusemaking and the above complaint) have been actively disruptive.
WP:AGF does not apply when there is no longer any room to A that GF because all evidence points in the opposite direction. See
WP:UWT. Notice how the later warning templates in each series exlicitly assume bad faith based on evidence of a pattern? Going after new admins with a high horse is not going do anything at all to improve your reputation here. I'm sorry, but that's just a fact. Try actually creating (on
notable topics) and improving existing articles, which is what Wikipedia user account are actually for. :-) — SMcCandlish [

Llama man. Iam sorry I didnt vote for you because I didnt know that you were contesting and anywayz I hope you would continue doing the Fine job you were doing up to now and yes keep those Vandals at bay..Yeah..Cheers--Cometstyles20:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
The project has reached the quarter-way point for the work on the list of the oldest 1000 ("abandoned") articles in Wikipedia: 250 articles have been reviewed and updated!
The project now has 21 members. If you're no longer interested, please take your name off the list; you won't get any further messages like this one. On the other hand, if you're still interested, please consider signing up for a(nother) block of 10 articles to work on - if everyone did this, we'd be almost halfway through those 1000 articles!
Finally, please note that project approach has changed slightly - there is now a section for editors to place articles that need to be "adopted", or to adopt articles that need further work. This means that if you find an article in a block of ten that needs more work than you have time for, it has a place to be put.
I noticed on the
Asian Doorag article you substed the {{deletedpage}} template. Just for future reference don't subst it just add the template. Cheers and p.s you are doing a great job so far :) ~
Arjun23:13, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
No prob, happy mopping. Glad that we now have more teenage admins! Just to let you know, I am on #wikipedia-en-admins. Hope to see you there soon! :). ~
Arjun23:19, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Okay yeah I forgot about the invite. I am asking now about it. They are asking if you nick is registered. So I need to know that first. ~
Arjun23:26, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Ah well thats the first problem. it needs to be registered. Go on #wikipedia and ask someone on how to do that. And then we will go from there. ~
Arjun23:29, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
I would probably think that Llama is already registred. Are you sure you are registred. Stay on IRC okay, since I think that you have to to be invited. ~
Arjun23:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Yep you are registred (I am pretty sure at least), I am trying to get you in contact with someone who can get you on. just sit tight :). ~
Arjun23:42, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Ack; Thats okay, however unfortunate since access was just about to be given to you :(. But thats fine, tomorrow (or later) just go look at
WP:IRC and look at the users that can grant permision for the admin channel. Then go on #wikipedia and contact one of them. Good luck, and once you get your first access then everything will be as easy as pie in the future. Cheers! ~
Arjun23:54, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Though I'm not an admin (yet), I do create {{deletedpage}} articles that fail AFD or DRV and request protection. Why shouldn't you subst them if they keep them out of
special:Shortpages? —The preceding

Hey man. Quick question for you. Do you care if I change the edit counter link in the edit count userbox back to Interiot's Wannabe Kate tool? Interiot's tool gives a more detailed analysis.
You were the last person to change it, so I figured I'd run the question by you first. Here's your
.
I would recommend Interiot's version, it is bug free (There were a few issues with Essjay's), and shows more data then Essjay's. It is slightly slower though.
Prodegotalk03:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Sure, I don't really care much anyway. The main reason I changed it was that it was slower, but Interiot's seems much faster than it used to be now. –
Llamaman03:40, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Heja, I welcome the protection of the article above, but you would have been supposed to take the original version from April 2006
[1]. Note also that a discussion already exists at
Talk:Baron_Ponsonby_of_Imokilly, in which however
Flozu ignores the result. Note finally that now the protected version includs a disambiguation link to
Baron Ponsonby of Imokilly, which is again a redirect to
Baron Ponsonby - the information about the title (see
[2]) is lost. Greetings ~~
Phoetalk19:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC) ~~
Hi there, I just saw this. Phoe has been very disengenuous here. First of all I started the discussion at
Talk:Baron Ponsonby, relating to some well-intentioned edits and the adding of a disambig page. Phoe and Proteus acting together reverted all my edits without comment or discussion. They did communicate with each other, and I later copied some of these exchanges to the Talk page, and so it looks as though they took part in the discussion earlier than they in fact did. They kept doing this, despite my asking them to discuss the question either on my user page or the article talk page. They only joined in the discussion proper after I requested a block be placed on the page - so it just cannot be the case that I have ignored the outcome of a discussion. I've tried to keep my cool throughout, despite Proteus calling my contributions "utterly ridiculous" and "pig-headed". I would be grateful if you could have a word with him about that. Lastly, please consider if this page needs a disambiguation page. 99.99% of wikipedia users will not understand the difference between "Baron Ponsonby, of Imokilly", "Baron Ponsonby of Shulbrede" and "Baron Ponsonby, of Sysonby", since history often refers to them all as just "Baron Ponsonby", and a disambig page might help with this. I have made this point on the talk page - the reason I've raised it with you is that as things stand two people are against a disamabig page (Phoe & Proteus) and two not against (me & Alci12). We could do with someone outside the argument to suggest what is best for wikipedia. Thanks
Flozu12:30, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
The automatic edit summaries specifically use the redirect because it uses fewer characters, thus allowing for a longer content message. It was one of the conditions why the
WP:AES message and link would be acceptable at all. —

Hey, there. :) Looks like you recently got adminship, congrats. Just wanted to run this block by you, real quick -- in his current unblock request at
User talk:DavyJonesGSB, he says the account got compromised by his little brother, and is requesting unblocking. Usually those stories are pretty iffy, but in this case it looks like the account has a number of good edits under his belt, going back to late November 2006. By all means, that was a reasonable block; since the account seems to be back under control, and the story seems to check out, I'm inclined to unblock, based on what I can see. Did you have any objection or comment, or is there anything else I'm missing? – Luna Santin (
talk)02:18, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Sure, you're welcome to pull anything out of my userspace, if you like. Although you'll get to grapple with fun questions like "why did he make a 'templates' directory if there's only one template in it?" :p – Luna Santin (

Thanks
It's been a week since
my recent request for adminship passed, and since I haven't managed to delete the Main Page - yet - I figure it's safe to send these out. Thanks a lot for participating in my RfA; I hope to do a good job. If you see me doing something wrong, need help, or just want to have a chat, please don't hesitate to drop by :) – riana_
dzasta07:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Congratulations on your successful RfA, too! It's great to see you already mopping away. I'm sorry about dilly-dallying on your RfA, but I'm glad I supported eventually - you're doing a fine job. All the best, – riana_
