I as a little surprised that you only gave Milton Keynes Dons F.C. a rating of "Start". Ok, it's a long way from GA, but "Start" says that it has significant omissions. Could you suggest some points that need attention, please? -- John Maynard Friedman 17:10, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I just wanted to wish you good luck, on your RFA! :) SQL( Query Me!) 10:26, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I saw your name in the RFA of User:AA. (I added a question on that RFA) You are not an administrator. Too bad! Keep in contact. On a cursory glance, you look like you would be a fine administrator! Archtransit 16:06, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
That was strange, but it is working now, not sure why though, please refer to my comments on the page. See you around! Phgao 19:05, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Siva1979/Archive 21 | |
I would like to thank you for your participation in my successful RfA, which passed with a tally of (44/10/5) [1]. Whether you supported, opposed or were neutral in my RfA, I appreciate your participation and I hope that we can continue to work together to build a stronger and better Wikipedia. | |
Regards, nat t a n g 03:57, 3 October 2007 (UTC) |
Best of luck mate, you have my support, but I've seen the process change so much, I'm even starting to lose hope from my (eventual) RfA. If you need anything, just contact me. Cheers, Dfrg. msc 21:43, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey. Next time, could you use {{ db-attack}} on pages that attempt to harm it's subject? Thanks! *Cremepuff 222* 14:29, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
You appear to be in the process of creating separate articles for every team in the Bedfordshire Football League Premier Division. As per very long standing precedent, teams not in the top 10 steps of the pyramid in England do not get their own articles, but subsections of the article on the league itself; I won't prod these for the moment, but unless you can make an argument to change policy these are all likely to be deleted. — iridescent (talk to me!) 15:07, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Good morning from England. I note that you have been changing the date links for birth/death dates in several articles to e.g. [[10 November]] [[1876 in football (soccer)|1876]] I understand your motives but unfortunately this is not acceptable practice because it messes up the way the dates display for certain Date & time preferences. (Under the "my preferences" tab at the top of the page.)
For users who prefer the fourth possible style (16:12, 2001 January 15) your changes would still come out as 10 November 1876 rather than the preferred style of 1876 November 10. I would suggest therefore that you revert the changes you have made. Best wishes. -- Daemonic Kangaroo 05:11, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
There is an essay on this subject on WP which I will try to find when I have more time. -- Daemonic Kangaroo 05:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
I've not found precisely what I've been looking for, but Wikipedia:Piped link#Use sets out the guidelines:
"Piped year links should not be used when the date is a full date, including the day and the month, because it stops readers' date preferences working. For example, do not write [[5 August]] [[2006 in sports|2006]] or [[August 5]], [[2006 in sports|2006]]." -- Daemonic Kangaroo 11:51, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
About the default sort for AFC teams, the basic answer is "Yes", they should all (by FA precent) be sorted under A. Also I've reverted your later change to link individual years e.g, 2005 to 2005 in football, as this adds nothing to the article. - fchd 06:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi & thanks for this. -- 88.66.110.157 10:32, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
I have closed your RFA. I am afraid it was unsuccessful. Please address the concerns and feel free to reapply in the future. Good luck. -- Deskana (talk) 10:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Hello Siva, Sorry to know your RFA was not successful. But I do think that you should lay off welcoming for a while. A very few percentage of IP addresses actually contribute continously to the project. Even welcoming users does not help the project. About 0.5% of all users registered with wikipedia are regular users. So, if you are going to welcome 800 users in a day, only about 4 will actually become dedicated users. Hence, I do believe that it is just a waste of time of you welcoming users. If you want to do minor stuff, create another account and get it done. Also, I just checked another one of your AFD comments. Seems like you have replaced Google now with secondary reliable source. Please try to comment on these things with policy. And also try for an RFA only after next year.-- 60.234.55.135 20:56, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
My edit was correct, the Brighton & Hove League has 10 teams in its Premier Division - 1 AFC ST GEORGES, 2 AMERICAN EXPRESS, 3 BRIGHTON ELECTRICITY, 4 HANOVER, 5 MASTER TILES, 6 MONTPELIER VILLA, 7 O & G UNITED, 8 OVINGDEAN, 9 PORTSLADE ATHLETIC, 10 REAL BRUNSWICK. This is from the official league website, and I updated the Wikipedia page to match this just yesterday, which is why I reverted your edit to the English Football League system page. - fchd 06:24, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
{{ helpme}} I cannot seem to access Wannabe Kate's tool, which is a slow substitute for Kate's tool. Also I can access other users contributions by using this tool but not my contributions. Whenever, I type in my username and press submit, a message appears which states that connection was reset after about two or three minutes. This problem has been with me since July 2007, when I made over 7 000 edits for that month. I am using Mozilla Firefox as my browser. However, I have success with Kate's Tool and Interiot's tool. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks. -- S iva1979 Talk to me 08:31, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Siva – I removed your Speedy Deletion request from Welsh Corgi. Unfortunately you saw the page during a vandalism episode, when it did indeed consist of arrant junk – I thought your tag was part of the vandalism, so apologies for libellous accusation of maliciousness. Not quite sure why you didn't just revert it though? Or do you think the page itself is junk...? (Not my page, so don't hold back...). Best regards-- Richard New Forest 15:45, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
My dear Wikipedian Siva1979,
Thank you for your participation in
my RFA, which closed successfully with 36 supports, 3 opposed, and 1 neutral. No matter if you !voted support, oppose, neutral, or even if you just stopped by to make a comment, I thank you for taking the time to drop by. Since I am a new admin, if you have any suggestions or concerns, feel free to inform me of them. Thank you and good day.
This RFA thanks was inspired by The Random Editor, who in turn was inspired by Phaedriel's RFA thanks. So unfortunately this is not entirely my own design.
This end the usual RFA thanks spam. You may return to your regular editing now.
Thank you for supporting my RfA, which unfortunately didn't succeed. The majority of the opposes stated that I needed more experience in the main namespace and Wikipedia namespace, so that is what I will do. I will go for another RfA in two month's time and I hope you will be able to support me then as well. If you have any other comments for me or wish to be notified when I go for another RfA, please leave them on my talk page. If you wish to nominate me for my next RfA, please wait until it has been two months. Thanks again for participating in my RfA! -- Cobi( t| c| b| cn) 01:41, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for participating in my RfA, which closed successfuly. I leave you with a picture of the real Blood Red Sandman! Note his 'mop' is slightly deadlier than mine! - - Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 18:30, 12 October 2007 (UTC) |
First off, thank you once again for your participation in my RfA nom. Your comments are helpful, and this brings me to my second request. I am not asking you to change or reconsider your vote, but I would like your feedback on my recent wikipedia and talk namespace edits. Do you feel that I am taking the necessary course of action that would make for a good future sysop? I really would appreciate your input. Bolstering the edit summaries too : ) Cheers!

Thanks for your comment in my RfA. Although I would have preferred if it were on the support section, I fully understand your reasoning, and appreciate your comment. Per your advice, I have withdrawn my nomination however I look forward to coming back to RfA sometime down the road. Thanks again - Rjd0060 13:49, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Dearest Supporter,
Thank you! Thank you for your help in my RfA. It hammered home a few things I need to keep in mind while admining and passed with a final tally of 40/0/4; two people forgot to vote in time, leaving me short of that exquisite number :-(, but I'll just have to fudge the next vote about me. Adminship feels slightly august but not particularily exalted, so I shall endeavour to consider it a toolkit and make sincere efforts to know what I'm doing before using it. If you later on have something to say or want to ask for -- MESSAGE EATEN BY BEARS -- Kizor 10:26, 24 October 2007 (UTC) |
Thanks for asking, I'm fine. I deleted the first (old) template; mind, I saw there were still some pages linked to the old template, so please take care of the "housecleaning". Do not hesitate to contact me again if you need me; it's all in a days work :)). Cheers and happy editing. Lectonar 16:24, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

You said you are concerned with POV, though it seems that you are more concerned with my concentration in one area. One is obviously not the same as the other - a lot of people have interests, and edit in those interests without being biased about it. As it's come up from two editors, I could certainly address it, but I'm not sure if concentration is an issue, or if POV editing is the issue. If the former, there's nothing wrong with an interest, and if the latter, I've never had any issues raised before regarding POV editing. In any case, if you could maybe clarify things as a question for me on my RfA, I'd appreciate it. MSJapan 02:39, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for supporting my recent RfA. It was successful, and I was promoted to Administrator today. I appreciate the support! — KieferSkunk ( talk) — 23:10, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
