[edit] User:Misza13's pile!

Thank you for contributing the impressive the pile of supports gathered on my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 0x0104/0x01/0x00. I'm happy that so many people have put faith in my abilities as an admin and promise to use the tools wisely and do my best not to let you down. If I ever may be of assistance, just leave a note on my talk page. Misza13, the rouge-on-demand admin wishes you happy editing!

[edit] Eluchil404's RfA

Thank you for taking the time to express an opinion in my recent request for adminship. I have withdrawn my self-nomination because there seemed little prospect for further productive discussion or the formation of a consensus to promote. Many commentators offered constructive critisism that I will use to improve myself as a user. Others suggested that the nomination was premature and that a re-nom in a few months would be more likely to gain consensus. Thank you for your comments. I will strive to continue to improve as an editor and hope to be able to garner your support in any future RfA. Eluchil404 20:25, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you so much for voting in my recent RFA. It passed on the relatively narrow vote of 38/8/8. It was also one of the least-participated-in RFA nominations in several months, so pat yourself on the back, and join the party on your left, but first, take your cookie!

[edit] my RfA

Thanks for your opinions in my RfA. Ultimately, the request did not pass, with a vote of (43/16/7). But your honest opinion was appreciated and I'll just keep right on doing what I do. Maybe I'll see ya around -- I'll be here!

[edit] Wickethewok's RFA

Thanks for your support on my RFA. The final vote count was (61/9/3), so I am now an administrator. Feel free to let me know how I'm doing at any point in time or if you need anything. Once again, thank you. Wickethewok 16:12, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GangstaEB's RFA

Thanks for your oppose on my RFA. The final vote count was (0/10/0), so I am now an normal user. Feel free to let me know how I'm doing at any point in time or if you need anything. I can't give it though. Once again, thank you. GangstaEB help me improve! 23:28, 31 July 2006 (UTC) I did steal this off Wickethewok's RFA thank-you too.

[edit] My RfA

Thankyou for your participation in my RfA. Due to an almost even spread of votes between Oppose and Support (Final (16/13/6)) I have decided to withdraw for now and re-apply in a couple of months as suggested. I thank everyone for their kind support of my editorial skills; it meant a lot to me to get such strong recommendations from my fellow editors. If you ever have any hints as to how I can improve further, I would love to hear from you. Viridae^Talk 15:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rex Grossman

The info. about Rex Grossman is not triva. This is important info. about the player and his life. Many young Jeiwsh people would like to know this info. and would be insulted to see that is was left in the trivia section. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.72.163.221 (talk • contribs) .

This information is within the Guidlines for Rex Grossman. To deny this info. is stupid. When someone looks up info. on Grossman they want to know info. on him and his football career. Stop insulting Jews with your 'edits' —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.72.163.221 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] My RfA and your vote

[edit] Userpage

It wasn't that quick. The comment had been there for 2 days. I usually check out the userpages of people posting on RfA related discussions. I checked yours and saw the strange comment, and decided to be bold and revert it. Best regards, alphaChimp ^laudare 19:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of automobiles that were commercial failures up for deletion

Hi,

You have taken part in the AfD process for List of successful automobiles and voted delete. The decision was unanimous and the article was subsequently deleted. Now a corresponding article, List of automobiles that were commercial failures, is up for deletion for the same reasons. It would be only logicial and just to have them both deleted, so I cordially invite you to take part in the new discussion.

Regards, Bravada, talk - 09:07, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GHe's RfA

Hi Themindset! Thank you for taking part in my RfA! Unfortunately, it ended with a final result of (62/23/7), and with only 73% support, no consensus was achieved. I see that you have a criterion for 6 months of time, and I will definite achieve that before submitting another request. Thanks again for your participation!  G.He 23:34, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

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 23:05, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:3O

I see you're taking the Joeseph McCarthy issue; if you're okay with it I'll remove it from the main listing as it is being dealt with. Thanks. —Xyrael _{/ 10:04, 11 August 2006 (UTC)}

Yeah man, I've known you for years. Ever since you were on XVI as miwa. I've been involved with jungle since '98 here. Steph Perham I know rings a bell for you.

I go by Division by Zero when I produce & DJ.

I've worked for MDG before. I just wrote a report on them so I know a shitload about their new offerings.

I'm still in Ottawa, yeah.

As fucking if, eh? What're the chances of something like this happening? There's 6 billion people in the world, millions of hits daily, thousands of contributors, and two people who know each other end up in contact.

Whatever happened to your XVI involvement? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dbz613 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] My RfA

Hey themindset, just a quick note to let you know I withdrew my RfA at 13/11/10. I hope by the time I turn up on RfA's doorstep again that I've developed more article communication and process knowledge, and I thank you for your opinion :) --james^(talk) 11:21, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Thanks so much for voting, Themindset! Thanks so much for your support vote on my request for adminship! With a final vote count of (82/5/0), it succeeded, and I'm now an administrator! I am thrilled with the overwhelming positive support from the community, and sincerely thank you once again for taking your time to voice your opinion. Feel free to contact me with any comments/suggestions in the future! —Mets501 (talk) 03:53, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Masssiveego RFA Criteria

To achieve my criteria standards is always by choice in what you choose to believe and make happen. If you wish to meet my criteria, I must see a clean talk page, a reasonable user page, pass inspection of your posts, post counts, Wikipedia activities. After that I must find signs being part of the Wikipedian community. If I find any sign of abuse, warnings, or otherwise misguided templates, I typically weigh them against possible future occurances of such activities, and if I find the user unwillinging or incapable of changing their habits they fail my inspection. After that I check for barnstars, awards determine if they are indeed appropriate and real, and start checking all image uploads. If there are three or more orphan images it is an automatic failure, for wasting Wikipedia resources. I excuse orphan images if they are used but not listed as in images placed in user pages. If I cannot find a postcount, or a post that would allow me to sampling how they would act, I typically believe they are inexperienced, and should post more often, therefore automatically fail them. If I find too many templates placed without enough of an explaintion or difficultly tracing the conversation of the template it is an automatic failure. There are many other automatic failures such as no talk pages, no greetings pages, not enough images, not posting enough which etc. I prefer to leave this in an email upon request to avoid embarrasing or otherwise reputation damaging information being left on talkpages. As I'm not about driving users away, but making sure only good Admin obtain tools that they need to help and correct. Rather then have self serving troublemakers drive away good users who have dontates so much of their knowledge, time and money to Wikipedia. Thus I do check for character as in how many post counts do they do, do they use bots? How are the bots?

If you pass the first part. The second part is I ask questions, the person has 24 hours and demonstrate that RC patrol skills, or vandal hunting skills a) they are online b) they monitor their watchlist or RFA c) are human by answering question, hypotetical situations, and tests such as a sample page. To show that they indeeed know what they are doing, and they understand policy.

If the two parts are past, the last part is I must see at least 5 other Wikipedians who have regular daily contact with the user in question contact means a message at least once every 3 months, usually shows up on talk pages that can vouch for the character of the user. After that I typically support the canidate unless something comes up. --Masssiveego 06:15, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User name

Thanks for your comment. I must admit when choosing my username I had not considered adminship at all but you certainly make a great point. Accordingly if successful I will change my username to Glen_S or similar per your suggestion. Again, appreciated :) - GIen 05:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wangi/RFA

Thanks for your support on my RfA. Give me shout if I can be of help. Thanks/wangi 00:14, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GIen username change to Glen S

Thanks again for participating in my RfA, just a wee FYI that I've applied to change my username to Glen_S - thanks again - GIen 10:27, 23 August 2006 (UTC) (Oh, PS - official thank you is still forthcoming :) )

[edit] My RfA

Cyclone Catarina Thank you for voting in my RfA. I would especially like to thank those 18 people that supported me. But I'd also like to thank those that may have not voted for me, but gave me advice to make me a better wikipedian. Once again, I thank you all. Unfortunately, the final result was 18 supporters, 32 opposers, 9 nuetrals, therefore I wasn't promoted to sysop. I hope to see you vote in my next RfA in late 2006, early 2007. Hopefully you'll support me. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 13:10, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deville's RfA

Hello, Mindset, and thank you for the "solid" support on my recent RfA. The final tally was 72/1/0, and I have now been entrusted with the mop. I'll be tentative with the new buttons for a while, and certainly welcome any and all feedback on how I might be able to use them to help the project. All the best, and thanks again! — Deville (Talk) 01:32, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GIen's RfA: Thank you!

Themindset for your Support! II feel truly humbled & honored by your support in my RfA, which closed at 90 / 5 / 0. Thank you! If you need me for anything, just say the word. For now however, just like Mr Potter here: My mop & I shall thwart all evil :) IThank you once again my friend. GIen

PS: YES YOU'RE RIGHT HARRY POTTER USES A BROOM! (BUT GOOD MOPS ARE HARD TO FIND!!)

[edit] Please, stop being obnoxious

A talk page is not a place to show off how great you are at thinking of stupid things to say, it is to improve the article. Please, think of somthing good to say or say nothing at all, as you just waste your time writing inappropriate nonsense. here is what i'm talking about. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Daniel 123 (talk • contribs) .

I think you misread the Judit Polgar talk page. If you read closer, you will see that it was a comment was placed in the article by an anon IP and removed from the Judit Polgar article [1]. I was just mentioning that I moved it to the WP:BJAODN page. Please take the time to look at talk pages closely before assuming bad faith. Themindset 21:10, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Go raibh maith agat!

Hi there, Themindset!

Thank you so much for supporting my RfA! It ended up passing and I'm rather humbled by the support (and a bit surprised that it was snowballed a day early!). Please let me know if I can help you out and I welcome any comments, questions, or advice you wish to share.

Sláinte!

P.S. Vancouver is one of my favourite cities in the world (the only place in the word I know of where one can fit snowboarding and surfing in on the same day)!

[edit] My RFA

Thank you, Themindset, for voting on my RFA, which passed 95 to 1. Now that I have the mop, I hope I can live up to the standard, and be a good administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. —this is messedrocker (talk) 21:39, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Belated thanks

Thank you for participating in my RfA. Consensus to promote was reached, and I am now an administrator. I'll be using the tools cautiously at first, and everyone should feel welcome to peer over my shoulder and make sure I'm not doing anything foolish. --Robth^Talk 04:18, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey Themindset, thank you for supporting my recent RfA. It finished with an amazing final tally of 160/4/1. I really appreciate your support. Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 07:42, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Halo's RfA

Themindset... Thank you very much for the constructive criticism in your oppose comment in my request for adminship. Ultimately, no consensus was reached, and I failed to be promoted, but I am very grateful for your coments. I will strive to better myself in all areas, especially Mainspace.

Thanks for the message. I will be trying very hard to get that experience, and your message was very encouraging. :) Thε Halo ^Θ 20:08, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Drum and bass GA

Um, I'm afraid I'm more into classical music, and so don't really know enough about the subject to review it, and am not quite sure why you're asking me to. I see on the talk page that I have an on-hold on the article just below yours - did you mean to contact Archer904? Adam Cuerden ^talk 01:26, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Congrats on the drum and bass article. It looks great now. If you've got a couple minutes and want to help a fellow Wikipedian trying to get an article promoted, review Technomancer Press (fairly short) and let me know if it needs anything else to be promoted to GA status. It hasn't been on the list as long as drum and bass, but it is on its first re-nom after revision. Archer904 02:35, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mr. Lefty's RfA thanks

Hi, Themindset, and thanks for your comments in my recent request for adminship, which succeeded with a final tally of 70/4/4. I hope I can live up to your expectations, and if there's ever anything you need, you know where to find me! --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 00:16, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nishkid64's RfA thanks

Thank you very much for participating in my RfA, which closed successfully earlier today with a result of (60/9/4). Although, I encountered a few problems in my RfA, I have peacefully resolved my conflicts and made amends with the people involved. If you have any further questions or suggestions, feel free talk to me. I hope I will live up to your expectations. --Nishkid64 22:14, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mr. Lefty's RfA

I think my comment on the RfA sums it up. Does something magical happen when you make your 200th article talk edit that makes you a much better admin? -- Steel 21:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/NCurse

You may be interested to know NCurse now meets your edit count criteria. [2] -- Steel 18:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

My above message was simply informing you that you were neutral-ing a candidate on the grounds they failed your criteria when in fact, they didn't fail it. On a more general note, why do you neutral or oppose candidates based on arbitrary edit counts? Would you prefer a candidate who has simply inflated their edit count with AWB? Also, why did you go neutral when NCurse only failed the mainspace requirement by mere 20 edits? (which he has now met) -- Steel 19:04, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

We don't appear to meet each other. Yes, your vote in NCurse's RfA is not critical to it's success. It's a matter of principle: NCurse has met your edit count requirements, so I'm unsure as to why you aren't supporting, as you haven't given any reasons. My other questions (which I don't feel you've answered) were more general and unrelated to NCurse's RfA. -- Steel 19:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I'm clear on everything except this: Let's say there's one candidate with 900, large, well thought out mainspace edits, and another candidate with 3000 AWB edits. Under your criteria, you would oppose the first candidate and support the second, correct? -- Steel 19:32, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

So you're actually deciding whether to support the candidate on a case by case basis, not on your arbitrary edit counts. If 1000+ edits doesn't automatically mean "support", yet doesn't automatically mean "oppose" either, why do you have that criterion? -- Steel 19:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

It's not explained on your standards page. -- Steel 20:19, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I have more to say, but I'm going to cut short this discussion because it isn't going anywhere. -- Steel 20:30, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a tally of 91/1/4. I can't express how much it means to me to become an administrator.

[edit] RfA thanks from StuffOfInterest

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which finished with a tally of 52/6/1 (~90%). It was an interesting process which gave me a chance to learn a bit about myself and about the community. My intention now is to slowly ease into using those additional buttons on my page. No use being over eager and mucking up the works. The support of all those who went over my record and/or rallied to my defense after the big oppose vote was instumental to the success of this review. Again, thank you! --StuffOfInterest 12:16, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
