Could you do me a favor and block the Ip users who's been vandalizing my page for sometime now? He won't stop. Thanks. GamePlayer623 04:47, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
I was about ot remove some vandalism on the William Shakespeare article, but you had beat me to it! Being fairly new to RC patrol, what is the quickest way to revert such edits? Thanks for the help. 0L1 - User - Talk - Contribs - 17:25 22 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for participating in my recent RfA. Unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful. However, I intend to continue contributing in a positive manner to Wikipedia, and if there is anything that I can do in the future to help further address your concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. -- Elonka 09:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Please accept my thanks for your support in my successful RfA, which I was gratified to learn passed without opposition on October 25, 2006. I am looking forward to serving as an administrator and hope that I prove worthy of your trust. With my best wishes, -- MCB 01:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC) |
You recently added quite a drastic change to Wikipedia:Semi-protection policy concerning the protection of policy-pages, but I don't believe that two days of discussion constitutes a consensus at all. This requires a much wider input from the community, and there were indeed quite a bit of opposition to this policy. It may be best to first seek input from administrators and from more people from the village pump and give this a few weeks before making any major changes such as this, as this essentially rewrites the semi-protection policy. Thanks. Cowman109 Talk 05:23, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your support in
my RfA, which passed with a final tally of (56/0/2). It was great to see so much kind support from such competent editors and administrators as commented on my RfA.
I know I have much reading to do before I'll feel comfortable enough to use some of the more powerful admin tools, so I'll get right to it. |
...for your support of my recent RfA. If I can ever assist you with my new buttons or just to review a page with fresh eyes, do not hesitate to ask. Cheers. youngamerican ( ahoy hoy) 18:14, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Please don't post a notice of your policy proposal to all the policy pages. his is not how we publicize policy discussions. In any case, that's clearly material appropriate for a talk page. You should use WP:VP and other centralized locations to announce proposals. Dmcdevit· t 18:09, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Stop spamming. It's pretty clear this proposal as it stands is not going to be accepted. More reasonably would be to relax the semi-protection policy for policy pages to allow them to be semi-protected on slighter vandalism and for longer periods of time, but this would not be a major change that would warrant spamming all the policy pages on the wiki; a discussion about that belongs at Wikipedia talk:Semi-protection policy. We don't, for example, spam the talk pages of every article before making a change to Wikipedia:Reliable sources. I hope you remove these messages as zealously as you have added them. — Centrx→ talk • 01:07, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I just wanted to say regarding this policy: the guideline you linked to in your edit summary says that English sources are preferrible to foreign language ones. Well, wouldn't a foreign language source be preferrible to one translated originally by an editor here? That would be the editor's original interpretation of the text. I think the verifiability guideline refers to third-party translations being preferrible to third-party foreign language sources, not first-hand translations. Don't you think it's best to stick to the work of others when writing articles? 66.231.130.70 02:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi John254. I wanted to thank you with flowers (well, flower) taking the time to participate in my RfA, which was successful. I'm very grateful for your kind words in support, and especially for your insightful comment in response to the opposes on ethical grounds. I truly appreciate that you would judge me on my record rather infer suitability from a narrow moral perspective. I assure you I'll continue to serve the goals of the project to the best of my ability - irrespective of my personal opinion - and strive to use the tools wisely and fairly. Please do let me know if I can be of assistance and especially if you spot me making an error in future. Many thanks once again. Yours, Rockpocke t 08:33, 10 November 2006 (UTC) |

Thank you so much, John254, for your support in my RfA, which passed on November 11, 2006, with a final tally of 82/0/2. I am humbled by the kind support of so many fellow Wikipedians, and I vow to continue to work and improve with the help of these new tools. Should you have any request, do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Hús ö nd 21:42, 11 November 2006 (UTC) |
I absolutely do not agree with the proposed speedy deletion of this template. It is a warning to users who have committed serious vandalism to articles that is probably "divisive and inflammatory" in itself. -- Robert 05:10, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi! I went over to User_talk:BlastOButter42#Hi! myself, trying to sort out what he was trying to accomplish. I've never heard of the template myself, but it looks like he was trying to use a warning template that had been deleted, then he got himself messed up trying to work around it. See my comments to him on that page. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 05:26, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi John254, and thanks very much for your support during my recent RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of 64/0/0. I am grateful for the overwhelming support I received from the community, and hope I will continue to earn your trust as I expand my participation on Wikipedia. It goes without saying that if you ever need anything and I can help, please let me know. Wait, I guess it does go with saying. ; ) -- cholmes75 ( chit chat) 22:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC) |

Mike's RfA Thanks | |
John254: Thanks very much for your support at my RfA. Unfortunately, it was clear that no consensus was going to be reached, and I have withdrawn the request at a final tally of 31/17/4. Regardless, I really appreciate your confidence in me. Despite the failure, rest assured that I will continue to edit Wikipedia as before. If all goes well, I think that I will re-apply in January or February. - Mike | Talk 04:40, 13 November 2006 (UTC) |
My RfA passed with a tally of 71/1/0. Thank you very much for your support. I hope that my performance as an admin will not disappoint you. Please let me know if you see me doing anything inappropriate. -- Donald Albury 03:57, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Two weeks ago I couldn't even spell administratur and now I
are one (in no small part thanks to your support). Now that I checked out those new buttons I realize that I can
unleash mutant monsters on unsuspecting articles or
summon batteries of laser guns in their defense. The move button has now acquired
special powers, and there's even a feature to
roll back time. With such
awesome new powers at my fingertips I will try to
tread lightly to avoid causing
irreversible damage and getting into any
wheel wars. Thanks again and let me know whenever I can be
of use.

This comment is inappropiate. While we may disagree on the status of the proposed guideline, to roll back my changes because I'm an IP clearly puts the cart before the horse: It acts as if this policy/guideline already exists. It's just as easy to get "entirely the wrong impression" from a registered account reverting an IP without better reasoning than that. - 152.91.9.144 04:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
As blocks are preventative rather than punitive, I see no reason to block a user who hasn't edited in days, hasn't received any final warnings, and has not engaged in blatant vandalism. Also note that on WP:AIV, it says...
If you still find my decision unsatisfactory, perhaps you should take it to the one of the prescribed venues. Thanks in advance. -- tariqabjotu 05:16, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to express my huge thanks to you, John254, for your support in my recent RfA, which closed with 100% support at 71/0/1. Needless to say, I am very suprised at the huge levels of support I've seen on my RfA, and at the fact that I only had give three answers, unlike many other nominees who have had many, many more questions! I'll be careful with my use of the tools, and invite you to tell me off if I do something wrong! Thanks, M a rtinp23 14:40, 18 November 2006 (UTC) |

A week ago I nominated myself, hoping to be able to help Wikipedia as an administrator as much as a WikiGnome. I am very glad many others shared my thoughts, including you. Thank you for your trust! Be sure I will use these tools to protect and prevent and not to harass or punish. Should you feel I am overreacting, pat me so that I can correct myself. Thanks again! ReyBrujo 19:25, 18 November 2006 (UTC) |
Just a quick note. An AIV backlog is something like 8-10 users. Having 2 in the list is not a backlog as it is quite managable. It's when we get up above 8 or so when it becomes a concern. Keep up the good work with the vandal-fighting, Metros232 04:40, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
I see you've added Speedy deletion criterion for unsourced articles to {{ cent}}, which is fine; and I see you've logged the change, which is excellent. I generally shorten such long-winded page titles and pipelink them to something that fits better in the box; this is all the better now that the box has been made so much more compact. Why don't you have a try at this? John Reid ° 11:03, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for voting in my RfA, I passed. I appreciate your input. Please keep an eye on me(if you want) to see if a screw up. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 16:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
You might want to rethink the speedy deletion. The article is going to be translated. Kingjeff 02:45, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your support with my RfA. My nomination succeeded and I have joined the admin ranks. I appreciate your support. Thanks again! =) -- Gogo Dodo 22:40, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Do you believe that a single scatological vandalism instance warrants a block? --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me) 03:42, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I have placed an additional optional comment on my RfA to address the question implicit in your opposition. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me) 03:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Having looked briefly at your comments I see that you have made some incredible changes to this site, I commend you for this. But I would like to ask you why you changed an edit that I made on the page of little known actor Christopher Mitchell? I simply corrected the cause of death which was originally incorrect, I know this because he was my own cousin. Please take this as a polite question. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nosh gobble ( talk • contribs) 16:00, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
Unfortunately, I served the whole 3RR and I would like if someone can ban and unban me and say that it wasn't justfied for the record there, or something. :( thanks anyway. Amoruso 11:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your support in my recent RfA, which was successful. I will do my best to wield the broom wisely! | Mr. Darcy talk 20:21, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Policy never is established simply by tallying a numerical vote count. Even when polling plays a role (as it often does), the accompanying discussion is essential. The text that you removed implies nothing beyond this. — David Levy 18:14, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
