		The Articles for Creation Barnstar
		For your help in finally putting an end to the monstrous backlog at Articles for creation, I, Hersfold (t/a/c), hereby award you the Articles for Creation Barnstar! Well done, and thank you for your dedication to the project! Hersfold (t/a/c) 22:22, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for participating in my RFA, which closed successfully with 40 supports, 13 opposes, and 4 neutrals. For those of you who supported my RFA, I greatly appreciate it. For those who did not, I'm also thankful for your constructive criticism. If you need some advice or have some pointers for me, you know where to reach me! A special thank you to Majorly for all his time and effort he has placed in my nomination. Once again, thank you all for your helpful comments. Now off to new admin school! Cheers, Icestorm815 • Talk 01:15, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure! I'd recommend using the same code I use for my Barnstar ribbon numbers. This will knock things around beyond what they're already doing as a result of the templates. Try copying this onto your user page:

<span style="position:relative; left: -28px; top: 5px;">((AFC ribbon))</span> ((Rollback))

I've checked, and it should work in both Firefox and IE. Safari usually does what Firefox does, in case that's what you're using. If you ever decide to add more stuff up top as I've seen other people do, it's the same code, you just play with the numbers until things go where you want them.

As for the adoption lessons, I would be honored. Plus, you know what they tell you when you first sign in - "don't contribute anything you don't want mercilessly torn apart by other editors." Please help yourself, and make sure to let me know if I've missed anything or have a mistake. Thanks for the compliments. :-) Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 04:16, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry. I just got into a debate with another user over Cassie Bernall, and I'm feeling a little anti-wiki right now. I'll drop you a line when I come back. Cheers! THE KC (talk) 13:02, 20 February 2008 (UTC).

Hey, I'm back, and ready to resume. Drop me a line, please. THE KC (talk) 01:21, 25 February 2008 (UTC).

• I've had a brief look over of the classes in adoption that you have, yet I'm still unsure on something. Is there some sort of test I need to take? I'm just wondering. Steve Crossin (talk) 15:30, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, I have checked some of the pages out, I will review the materials, and answer the questions/assignments here. In regards to fair use images, and copyrights, would my prior efforts have any credit? For example, I uploaded the image for Karen Hayes and Bill Buchanan and wrote the justification/added usage reasoning myself. Would this have any credit, if you know what I mean. And thanks again for adopting me. Steve Crossin (talk) 00:48, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

• Great, is there a certain time I can do that test? The one on "Copyright on a Free Wikipedia". Also, I'm trying to create a subpage, so I can have a list of the articles I am working on, and a to-do list for each. However, I'm not very sure on how to do this, as in, the wiki markup, yet I see your WikiMarkup101 page is under construction. I'll see what I can do with the page, and let you know if I need help. But I think I may be ready for the test on Copyrights. Steve Crossin (talk) 05:08, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I created 2 subpages, a sandbox, and a page listing the articles I'm actively working on. That page is linked on my main user page. Would you mind taking a look at it, and giving suggestions for improvement? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cro0016 (talk • contribs) 05:37, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

• The article on Chloe O'Brian, I did not originally write. However, I did upload the image :) It's something I'm working on, I have a few references for Karen Hayes, my only concern is deleting too much content from the article. I have ideas, I just don't know how to properly apply them. However, I think that the Nadia Yassir article is a good article to use as a guideline for the writing about 24 Characters. Would you agree?

Also, I'm going to start looking for articles to cleanup. To what extent does an article need to be "cleaned up" to qualify as having cleaned it up. Maybe that's an unclear question, I hope you understand what I mean. Steve Crossin (talk) 06:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad you weren't trying to get me to change my vote, as that would be weird. Technically, its a support :-P Avruch ^T 04:42, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

THE KC (talk) is wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day, Tiptoety! This greeting promotes WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Happy Valentine's Day, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.

Have you ever thought of becoming an Administrator? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 02:33, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I have, and have put in two RfA's already, the first one was just premature, the second, just unsuccessful. I am keeping my promise made in my second RfA that I will not request the tools again without first being nominated by another user. Tiptoety ^talk 06:07, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Would you like for me to "endorse" you? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:57, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Then, I will. Question: Do I start a third one for you? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:07, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Here's your nomination. I hope you accept. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 00:03, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Your welcome! And Blue said pretty much everything I would have written. Instead of having two paragraphs that say the same things, I just added my signature to what she wrote (which she agreed on). If someone says that it is invalid, I'll just write my own. iMatthew 2008 11:33, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, IDK about Matt, but what's written, I wrote. So, do you want me to fix the original statement? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 00:43, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem, man. ;) I think you deserve the Adminship. And, your the first user I've "endorsed". Something you should be proud of. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 00:46, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

• Just letting you know, I will be on a wikibreak until my wedding is over, in about a week. Steve Crossin (talk) 05:07, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, back from the wikibreak :D. Now, two questions. I'm relatively new to Wikipedia, am I still able to give you a support for your RFA, if I choose to? Or is it only for admins to decide? And secondly, I'm having trouble selecting 15 articles for cleanup, as part of my assignment for adoption training. Would copyediting count as well, or is it strictly the articles in the category you specified? Replying on my talk page is most appreciated, thanks. Steve Crossin (talk) 03:24, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• Added my support for your RFA. And, to what extent must an article be "cleaned up"? I'm sorry about this, but I just don't know exactly what constituites "cleaning up". And I did read WP:Cleanup. Oh thanks, my wedding was great. One last question, how do you create a navigation bar, like you have, on the top of your talk page. It looks very complex. Steve Crossin (talk) 03:36, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• Well, correcting typoes is something I do quite often. And sometimes I read articles, and think "that could be phrased better", so I change it. Grammar, I try to fix as well. Would that constituite cleanup? And yes, I would most appreciate it if someone could create me a navigation bar. Having a link to my subpages is something I would like, cheers. Steve Crossin (talk) 03:50, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• Hmm, well, I've added a character image for the Charles Logan article, I also want to rewrite that article, it clearly needs a lot of work. Mike Doyle (24 character) has been tagged for cleanup, but, there's not really a lot at all to cleanup. It really needs expansion, not cleanup. Also, is copying an entire article to my sandbox, to work on it, is that OK? It's just easier for me. And, whenever anyone is ready to create the navigation bar. As you probably know, I'm a 24 fan, possibly a 24 themed bar? If that is at all possible. but if it's too much trouble for them, then whatever they can do would be great, thanks. Steve Crossin (talk) 03:59, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• Hmm, i don't think I will skip that one. Would you be able to have a look at my contribution list, and let me know how many more articles I need to get to the 15 required? If it's not too much trouble, of course :) Steve Crossin (talk) 04:08, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• Well, some of the articles I helped clean up to a large extent, such as Minor characters in 24 and Nadia Yassir, maybe they should be included in the list of articles I've cleaned up. I'll go through the list of Articles tagged for cleanup and try cleaning up some articles, but if you could have a quick look at some of my contributions, just the major, recent ones, but it's up to you if I can include them in my 15 articles list. It's probably better if I do new ones though. Steve Crossin (talk) 04:18, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, thats good to know. I worked hard on those, it would be a shame to not be able to add those to my list. One other question, with the Permissions assignment, should I wait until this talk page is archived before I submit my answers? I don't want it to seem like I've just copied what they have said, even though I haven't. Steve Crossin (talk) 05:13, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

You have previously expressed an interest in undergoing the Admin coaching program. We're currently engaged in a program reset to help things move more smoothly in the future. If you are still interested in the program, please go to Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests for Coaching and re-list yourself under Current requests, deleting your entry from Older requests. Also, double-check to make sure coaching is right for you at theCoachee checklist; WP:Adoption or WP:Editor review may be more appropriate depending on your situation and aspirations. We should get back to you within a day or so, once a coaching relationship has been identified. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 06:54, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

And I'm seeing your up for discussion this week. Hopefully you can ignore my message-spam above. MBisanz ^talk 07:12, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Yep, thanks for all your efforts in trying to improve the admin coaching program though! Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 19:53, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

If you're curious about the IP's message, see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Large number of IP creations need deletion. I don't blame you for assuming good faith. --NE2 01:14, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Yep, I saw it, thanks! Tiptoety ^talk 01:15, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

1. A permission is an additional ability beyond a basic user's. Correct
2. Unregistered users can only edit non-protected pages. Correct
3. An autoconfirmed account is a four-day-old account. Correct
4. Registered users have the same power as unregistered users, as well as editing of semi-protected pages, the abilities of creating and moving pages, and upload files. Correct
5. Sysops can grant rollback. Correct
6. Rollback enables you to revert multiple vandalism edits at once. Partly Correct - Rollback allows for reverts of multiple vandalism edits at once, but from only a single user. Not sure if you knew that or not, was not in your answer.
7. Rollback should not be used for edit disputes. Correct
8. Admins have the same priveliges as registered users (and, therefore, unregistered users) but have extra power, including automatic rollback access, rollback granting powers, an "unwatched pages" list, protection capabilities, deleted contrib viewing, access to the MediaWiki interface, and blocking power. (User:Ryan Postlethwaite|Ryan Postlethwaite]] blocked my school's, actually...) Partly Correct - They can also delete pages
9. Admins become so when they are nominated through RFA and approved through 70% consensus. Correct
10. Beureaucrats namely edit the "nuts and bolts" of permissions. They can also rename accounts and alter bot permission levels and raise others to admin and beaureucrat levels after RFA's and RFB's. Correct
11. Stewards revoke and grant high acess levels, in any project (you name it, HeroesWiki German, Wookiepedia French...) Correct
12. Checkuser enables a user to see if one is a sockpuppet of another. Correct
13. Oversight allows a user to hide a revision of an article from view. Correct
14. You must have at one point been an Arbritation Committee member to get oversight. Correct

Cheers. THE KC (talk) 02:12, 27 February 2008 (UTC).

Good job, all correct but one, and that one was only half off. Keep up the good work, and let me know if you have any questions. Tiptoety ^talk 03:21, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Tiptoety, I saw some edits in your recent contributions that didn't make a lot of sense to me. I've added a reference to them as a sixth question on your RfA. I wanted to give you a head's up, so you could address the issue in a timely way. By and large, your contributions have been impressive. Although I don't support your candidacy, I nonetheless wish you well in your efforts. --SSBohio 03:34, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, I have seen it and answered it accordingly. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 03:41, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

The edits make a lot more sense in the context of your explanation. I'm not sure I would've seen 72 Express Lanes as a plausible redirect, but I can see you acted in good faith. Also, if you check out the further comments at the AfD page, it seems that there are a couple of sources pointing to his being the author of the manga in question. I've never been much of a fan of manga & anime myself, but my boyfriend knows the subject in mind-numbing detail. (He's not interested in editing Wikipedia, however; He's even more anti-deletion than I am!) Anyway, that was a pretty dogged bit of work clearing out much of the AFC backlog. --SSBohio 04:27, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I just assumed that the IP knew more than me when it came to the highways (me not living in California and all :P), I actually enjoy working at WP:AFC (call me a wikigeek, lol), though sometimes it is very tedious. Yeah, it is starting to look like there has been a huge rush to improve the article and it has yielded some okay sources, which is good. I am all for having good articles here. I am very seriously debating withdrawing my AfD nom, but im gonna wait it out a little bit longer. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 04:31, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

LOL, that is pretty funny. - Rjd0060 (talk) 04:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• What about Q4? Was that wrong? Steve Crossin (talk) 05:48, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
• Oops, I missed that one. Tiptoety ^talk 05:49, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, well, I'm glad I did OK. Just one little thing, is it OK if I use your navigation bar, just for now? I know what bits to edit. It's just, I need an easy link to my subpages, if I could just create an image link to those for now, that would probably be better. Steve Crossin (talk) 05:54, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• I can't even figure out how to do that, copy the navigation bar..:| Is there an easy way to just create a text link, to like an index of my subpages? I'd prefer an image link, yet it seems too difficult. Steve Crossin (talk) 06:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• I managed to do that without a problem. Can I ask your advice on something? I've copied the Charles Logan article to this sandbox, and deleted what I thought was not a benefit to the article, as it's really just a regurgitation of the plot. Would you agree? Steve Crossin (talk) 06:17, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to another wonderful world of WP:ORE COTW. Thanks again to those who lent a hand improving Pinto Colvig and Cooper Spur ski area this past week or so.

• Hey, I thought I'd show you my page on WikiMarkup. It's not quite finished yet, I think, but I thought I should show you anyway. And I'm also using the page as a personal task list, why not put the page to a good use at the same time :) here it is User:Cro0016/WikiMarkup_Sandbox Steve Crossin (talk) 21:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• Well, I thought, I might as well use the page and put it to a good use. Now, I saw in the lesson, you mentioned tables. Is this something you could teach me? Also, what is missing from the page at the moment, as in, what needs demonstrating? Heh, I could do an external reference fot Jack Bauer :P Steve Crossin (talk) 00:14, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Did you see my last message? *points* above. Steve Crossin (talk) 00:44, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• Okay then, I'm sorry to have bothered you :( If I really need a hand, I'll ask, but until then, I'll just leave you to do whatever you need to do...Steve Crossin (talk) 00:52, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, well, the thing I was really wondering, was what else did I need to demonstrate on my WikiMarkup sandbox page? I'm actually using the page as a task list, and it's by no means my full task list yet, but was wondering, what other elements did I need to demonstrate? Although I will probably add more than required :P Steve Crossin (talk) 01:01, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• This may be a stupid question, but what exactly is an in text reference? Could you give me an example? The others, I know how to do :) Steve Crossin (talk) 01:17, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for clarifying that, I'll have it done in a few minutes, I'll let you know once it's done. Steve Crossin (talk) 04:50, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Okay, it's done. I just did one example, but I can add more if you like. The page is here WikiMarkup Sandbox

Steve Crossin (talk) 05:15, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• So, does that mean I've fulfilled the requirements for the WikiMarkup lesson? That doesn't mean I'll stop working on the page, of course. I intend to use that page as a personal task list, just some things on that page I'd like to streamline, and wanted to be sure that's OK with you. Steve Crossin (talk) 05:21, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• Great, I've simplified the page now. And I definitely will continue using that page, it could come in handy. What would be the next task for me to do? Steve Crossin (talk) 05:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, Ive looked over the Vandalism lesson briefly. It says to notify you if I use IE. Well, I use IE. What's the solution? Steve Crossin (talk) 05:50, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• I'm sure we all make mistakes. I'm using Twinkle right now, its great. Oh, my talk page was vandalised, and if you see my contribution list, you will see all the efforts I've recently made fighting vandalism. And I have 3 diffs that I reverted, and why I considered them vandalism:

• Diff 1: [1] Vandalism because it replaced factual content with rubbish. Y
• Diff 2: [2] Replacing content with obvious vandalism, no explanation needed. Obvious vandalism.Y
• Diff 3: [3] Blanking of MY talk page!Y Steve Crossin (talk) 16:02, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• I managed to download a copy of firefox. However, by default, Twinkle and a few other things use the default monobook skin, which I find unsightly. I normally use the "Modern" skin. What's the "monobook" equivalent? I want to use Twinkle still, but I can't bear the sight of this current skin. Steve Crossin (talk) 16:10, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• You hit that on the nail. Summed up my interests pretty well. I think I'll do the anti-vandalism assignment now, I kinda find it satisfying, reverting vandalism. I just wish ClueBot wasn't so fast. I'll do that Anti-Vandalism thing now. Steve Crossin (talk) 19:52, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• Gah, I see you beat me to a revert in the recent changes list. Well, I've got quite a few so far. Could you explain to me exactly what I still need to demonstrate for the Vandalism 1.1 lesson. Thanks. Steve Crossin (talk) 04:43, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

• Yes, well, I have Twinkle. So I have rollback as well. My PC has been away for repair for a week, just got it back an hour ago. I like my new user page alot, however, is there a way to change the icons? Or create new icons? I'd like to have more 24 themed icons if possible, like a CTU phone for the talk page icon. Very well, I will answer the questions now. And I've decided to do the Vandalism 1.2 lesson as well. I find this very rewarding (the fact I'm helping clean up Wikipedia). However, I wish ClueBot wasn't so fast. :( Steve Crossin (talk) 04:51, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

• I understand I don't have the actual rollback user permission. I was just pointing out that I use Twinkle, which has a similar feature. Also, one question I'm not exactly sure how to answer correctly-

1. How can you identify vandalism?

Are you asking what some of the obvious signs of vandalism are? I know that, but is that what you are asking? Steve Crossin (talk) 05:02, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

And, thanks for the barnstar :D Steve Crossin (talk) 20:50, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

• Welcome! Tiptoety ^talk 22:44, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

• Very well, from now on, I will provide diffs when that sort of things happen. However, that user was feigning ignorance. They were fully aware of the edit they hade made (was harassment on a talk page).

Now, I should tell you a few things that have hapened recently.

• I have been granted rollback priveliges.
• And I have made at least 500 vandalism reverts. I now use Huggle.
• And my talk and user page has been vandalised.

I also think I'm ready to do the rest of the Vandalism 1.1 test.

And lastly, I'm seeking to join the Counter-Vandalism Unit Task List. Steve Crossin (talk) 20:11, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, could you reword this question to make it sound clearer? If I answer it fully, as the question is at the moment, it would be a massively long answer. To be honest, the only reason I haven't already answered all the Vandal 1.1 questions is because I didn't know how to properly answer that one, which is- How do you revert vandalism? Steve Crossin (talk) 20:24, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

• Well, currently, I use Firefox, and the Anti-Vandal tools I have are Twinkle, Huggle, and Vandal Fighter, in addition to the rollback tool. Which section is relevant to me? Oh, and I mainly use Huggle. It's so easy, and is very effective, and has many ways to help indicate wheteher an edit is vandalism or not. So yeah, I mainly use Huggle. Steve Crossin (talk) 20:33, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

• Well, I think I'll start that Anti-Vandalism lesson now. 30 reverts? I'll have that in 10mins or so. Do I need to give diff links, or could you just look in my contribution list? Because I use Huggle for vandalism reversion. I'll start it now. Cheers. Steve Crossin (talk) 21:16, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

• Could you check my reverts now? Thanks. Steve Crossin (talk) 23:06, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, as for this divv [4], it was partly my mistake, and partly me misinterpreting Huggle's warnings. You see, there are things in Huggle that help identify whether an edit is vandalism or not, and it appeared to be vandalism, according to the program. Well, we all make mistakes. I've rolled back that edit.

And as for this user, the standard button I click is "Revert and Warn". It reverts the vandals edit, and the program decides which warning to give out, so, it was the programs decision. However, I think it was reasonable. Hope that answers your question. Steve Crossin (talk) 23:27, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

• See this page? Where it says, Have at least 2,500 edits (user preforms vandalism reverts, should be easy). Do me a favour. Double it. I'm serious. Steve Crossin (talk) 01:11, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

• Yep, I saw that. My next step, I want to become a member of the CVU task force. I'll look into that in a few hours. And with the amount of vandalism going on, I could probably get to 5,000 in a few days, maybe less. I think I've found my purpose on wikipedia. Lol Steve Crossin (talk) 01:19, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

• I'm now a member of the CVU task force. I see you are also working on cleaning up vandalism. What software are you using? Steve Crossin (talk) 07:16, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

• Ahh, I see. I'm using Huggle. Its faster, and more effective. Easier to use, as well. Steve Crossin (talk) 07:19, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

• I'm still undecided on which assignment to do. I'm leaning towards the Deletion lesson, I have no chance at Article review, and cleanup, well, I'm not too sure on that. So yeah, leaning towards the deletion lesson. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cro0016 (talk • contribs) 07:24, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I doubt we have a problem, we did all we could here. But I'm intrigued. I'll be around for a little while. Drop me an email if I need to know anything. Cheers, --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 23:55, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Julian Rios, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Julian (pornographic actor). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 00:01, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

fixed it, my bad :P Tiptoety ^talk 00:16, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I think Avruch struck your oppose. Not sure what you wanted. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 00:28, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, thanks for letting me know. Tiptoety ^talk 00:30, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, Tiptoety, for your support in my RfB. I appreciate your trust. I hope my answer was satisfactory too. Acalamari 22:01, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I hope next time will be much better. :) I think that, after seeing the opposition, it was best to withdraw this time around. Acalamari 22:39, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I think that this station might be notable as many of the Japanese rail articles are notable. However, I have not been able to find an article on the line that this station is supposedly on. It may actually not be notable. I would probably have to wait for a few days to see if information appears that suggests that it is notable. It might be notable or it might be not. Captain panda 00:09, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I suppose that what you are saying makes sense. If you added the A1 tag again, I would not remove it. Captain panda 00:17, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

You are a previous participant in the discussion at WP:AN/I about User:Mikkalai's vow of silence. This is to inform you, that I have made a proposal for resolution for the issue. I am informing all of the users who participated, so this is not an attempt to WP:CANVAS support for any particular position.

Thank you for your participation in my admin application, which recently closed successfully (36/3/1). Even though you opposed my application, I can understand your concerns. But don't worry, I'll go easy using the tools and will not do anything without being certain that I am doing the right thing. I see that you are near the end of your own RfA, which looks successful so far. At the risk of being premature: Congratulations. - 52 Pickup (deal) 22:33, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations, i know that you will take it easy at first and trust that if the community sees you fit that you must be. And its not over yet, but thanks! Tiptoety ^talk 22:39, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Never mind! I'm an idiot! Good luck, lol. Avruch ^T 02:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

LOL, no problem. Cheers, :P Tiptoety ^talk 02:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Tiptoety. I had a question for you. Could you tell me whether removing a vandalism warning (for an act obviously vandalism) would be considered vandalism itself? Or what else would it be. And what if there was a misunderstanding? If you look at my talk page, you'll see I was mistakenly accused of vandalism at Cassie Bernall. Could I delete that template? Thanks.

Good luck with the RFA that closes today! THE KC (talk) 02:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC).

It's there, number 20, between "Userpage vandalism" and "Cassie Bernall." THE KC (talk) 02:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC).

Okay, thanks! :-) THE KC (talk) 02:26, 2 March 2008 (UTC).

Thanks! But FYI, I'm more into pages pertaining to U2 right now. THE KC (talk) 02:28, 2 March 2008 (UTC).

You have great taste. THE KC (talk) 02:30, 2 March 2008 (UTC).

And that's 15. Do you need more? Steve Crossin (talk) 04:10, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Now its time to sit back an wait for them to be deleted. :P Nah, I would not do that to you. But I am not quite sure if this one meets G1, more like A1, but thats alright. If it does not get deleted then you will have another to do. Let me know when you are ready for the test and I will explain how it works. Tiptoety ^talk 04:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Sorry about my delay, our internet went offline. Are you still online? Steve Crossin (talk) 03:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Whoa! I didn't think they would all be deleted. Well, one wasn't, but the rest were. I'm ready for the test. How does it work? Steve Crossin (talk) 04:19, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
• Yea, it got deleted per A1 like i thought. But thats okay, you got the basics down. Now this is how the test works: The test is timed, you have 20 minutes to answer 40 questions (trust me, my test is easier than most adopters are, 20 minutes is enough time). The way I will keep track of how long you take is that when you are ready to start the test go to this page and place a time stamp (by singing your signature), and then i will start the test. You then have 20 minutes to finish, once you finish sign your signature at the bottom. Becasue in real life you are able to use policy pages, ect... you may use any resource you like during those 20 minutes, just do not copy and paste. The reason i time you is so that you do not just look up all the answers, and prove you at least learned something. I will be watching the page for when you are ready to start. Tiptoety ^talk 04:27, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, I'm kind of worried now, but, I think I will do OK :) And, thanks for fixing the vandalism on my talk page. Vandals dont seem to like me much. Im ready for the test. Steve Crossin (talk) 04:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Is that the only page? Tiptoety ^talk 02:39, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Thats the only page so far. Okay, I'm taking a short break from fighting vandalism. So I can complete this assignment, then take the test, and pass with flying colours. hehe. Oh, and, are you counting down the hours and minutes till you get the mop? :P Steve Crossin (talk) 02:45, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Question- Would this page meet a criteria for deletion? I think it would be, but I'm not sure which category. Could you shed some light on it? Steve Crossin (talk) 02:52, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Okay. Well, it would not fall under speedy deletion of any kind. But you can always nominate articles that don't meet speedy requirements for deletion at articles for deletion, though i would not recommend nominating that one, try reading Wikipedia:LIST, that may help clear some stuff up. Tiptoety ^talk 02:58, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I should have this assignment done, in, say, maybe half an hour, maximum. Will you be on for that long? Steve Crossin (talk) 03:00, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Yeah, I will be on that long. Then we can get to the test! Hurray! You are getting so close to graduation! Tiptoety ^talk 03:01, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I probably should put that in there somewhere, that's a good point. Thanks! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 03:11, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Sorry about taking so long. I had some internet trouble, the network has been slightly faulty. I am done now.--Steve Crossin (talk) 05:11, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Oh no. I just realised I didn't finish my answer for question four :( Seems I don't perform well under pressure... Steve Crossin (talk) 05:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• And, just letting you know, the multiple choice questions, I just deleted the answers that were wrong, I didnt actually place the answer in the A section. Steve Crossin (talk) 05:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• I saw the old diff of the test page. I'm glad you fixed it. I was thinking "I know it was wrong, but is emphasis really required? Lol Steve Crossin (talk) 05:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Lol, yeah, my bad. :P Good work! Tiptoety ^talk 05:25, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• You haven't added the Deletion class to my list of completed lessons. Did you forget? Steve Crossin (talk) 05:26, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Yep, put it on there. Tiptoety ^talk 05:28, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• • And, I realised, I didn't read Q39 correctly. I thought it said "Which tag should be put onto an attack page, but, I wasn't reading it properly. Oh well. Steve Crossin (talk) 05:28, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Thats okay, you still passed with more than a 90%. And thank you for fixing that typo. Tiptoety ^talk 05:32, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Oh, you're welcome. It's just me though, I stress over exam results. Well, my biggest challenge now will be improving a 24 article. Ideally, one day, I'd like to improve Jack Bauer to Featured Article status. But that is the sort thing that I would include in an RFA, not for a class. Any suggestions on which articles? Steve Crossin (talk) 05:37, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• What ever you are interested in, how about Karen Hayes? Tiptoety ^talk 05:47, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Yes, my thoughts exactly. Its currently just a plot summary, I think it should be completely rewritten. Would you agree to this? Steve Crossin (talk) 05:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
• Agree very much so. Though, it is going to be a huge task and personally I am not sure how I would even go about starting it. (Please note I usually do not write articles relating to fictional characters), it may be best to talk to some users who work with 24 articles to get some ideas on how to re-write it. Tiptoety ^talk 05:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Well, a good example of how I believe these articles should be written, is Nadia Yassir. How would I start? Well, I would edit the page on a personal sub-page of mine, so as to not upset anyone with the edits I make. However, my personal opinion? I think the sections Karen Hayes#Day 5 and Karen Hayes#Day 6, should be deleted, or substantially cut down, its not in accordance with WP:NOT#PLOT Steve Crossin (talk) 06:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
• Yep, that sounds like a good way to approach it. Tiptoety ^talk 06:28, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Right, I'll do that then :) Finding sources will be the problem, but I can do it :) Steve Crossin (talk) 06:47, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Good luck, and happy editing. Tiptoety ^talk 06:48, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Just wondering, how long is it until your RFA closes? It shouldn't be too long now, should it? Steve Crossin (talk) 06:52, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• If you look on my userpage down at the bottom, it tells you the exact time that it closes. I think it is closed like around midnight. Tiptoety ^talk 06:53, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Well, congratulations, its quite clear you will become an admin. I doubt it's something I'd ever get nominated for, although it's something I'd like, one day. But i doubt it. Steve Crossin (talk) 07:02, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Thank you very much. And sure someday in the future you will become a administrator too, and you can always nominate yourself. But understand that common prerequisites are at least 6 months, 6000+ edits (and more than just vandalism reverts) along with evidence that you clearly understand policy and are a good civil communicator. It also helps to have some good articles under your belt. Tiptoety ^talk 16:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• How do I check my account age? I've been on wikipedia quite a while, but only started editing recently. And self nominating? I don't think so. And, like I said, if I could help get Jack Bauer to Good, or FA status, I think that would be good. Steve Crossin (talk) 18:07, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• You can check this page (it takes a while to load). I took a look and it appears you have been here for two months now. Your earliest edit being 7 February 2008. Tiptoety ^talk 18:10, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• I saw that, but where does it say I've been on Wikipedia 2 months? I've also been checking the RFA's, I can't believe some people self nominate, with low edits, like 500 or less. It made me think, maybe I could be an admin. But no. I'd probably be attacked for self nominating. Steve Crossin (talk) 18:18, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• If you scroll down the page, it shows how many edits you have done each month (shown by the big green bar graph). If you see, you only have two months worth of contributions. Tiptoety ^talk 18:20, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Well, my first edit was on the 7th of Feb, so, that's not even a month, correct? Steve Crossin (talk) 18:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Correct. Let me re-phrase (as the way i said it before sucked). You are on your second month. Tiptoety ^talk 18:24, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for fixing my userbox. I was thinking "I know I haven't been on long, but, -1 years, -18 months and 23 days? Geez, well, Wikipedia, that is Wrong wikipedia, WRONG. Steve Crossin (talk) 18:47, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• LOL! :D Tiptoety ^talk 18:48, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Just wondering, if I intend to hopefully become an admin one day, is it OK do you think, for me to get admin coaching? Steve Crossin (talk) 19:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• How about we hold off until you are finished with your adoption as your request for a coach will probably be denied until you have first finished with me. But after that, you are more than welcome to, just bare in mind admin coaching is much harder than the adoption process but i know you can handle it :) Tiptoety ^talk 19:31, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• That seems quite reasonable. The only thing I think I will have some trouble with is improving the Karen Hayes article. That's the one I have decided on. 5,000 edits? Too easy. I should have those by the end of the day, if I work hard enough. Once I'm at 5000, then I will cut down on vandal fighting, a little bit. How much harder is it? Also, there is no need to put a talkback template on my talk page anymore. I've had your talk page on my watchlist for ages. And I check my watchlist frequently. If an edit is made to your talkpage, I will know. Which also comes in handy if you get vandalised. Steve Crossin (talk) 19:47, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Well admin coaching generally takes about 3 months or so. Ok, thanks. Tiptoety ^talk 20:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• 3 months? That sounds more like a prison sentence. Lol. Anyway, is it similar to adoption, as in, must you be on Wikipedia every single day? I don't know if I can do that, to be honest. Steve Crossin (talk) 20:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Oh, well it is similar in the fact that you have lessons, but does not require you to be on everyday. And if you get the right coach, it can be a whole lot of fun! Tiptoety ^talk 20:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Well, I think that if I ever want to be an admin on wikipedia, I should do admin coaching. Even if it takes time, its smarter to do it. Increases chances of an RFA being successful. I assume you did admin coaching? Also, check my talk page. Steve Crossin (talk) 20:31, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• YES! You should do admin coaching, greatly increases your chances of success. And no, regretfully I did not. Tiptoety ^talk 20:34, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Congratulations on becoming admin :) My opinion of you getting approved- . Lol :) Congratulations

What's up old friend? Anyway, I came by to give you an early congratulations on becoming an administrator (not to jinx you or anything). ;) I know you'll use the tools for good, and better Wikipedia as a whole. --Cheers, LAX 14:15, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I apologize, I was un-aware that you have already gone through the adoption program. Then may i suggest that you request a admin coach? Tiptoety ^talk 19:20, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Just kidding, hey there, how goes it? Just dropping by to leave a tiny bit of advice; you recently handled an AIV report by declining it, even though the user had very recently vandalized. Usually, and I'm mainly just suggesting this, as it isn't mandatory, people leave up the address if it has been active very recently. If you have to do something, for example issue a final warning, make a note of that by indenting a comment under the report, and watch the user; removing the report can sometimes confuse other users. Anyway, that's just my thoughts; you don't have to heed my advice. :) Cheers! Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 03:28, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Hm, really? Me not so much. Tiptoety ^talk 04:00, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, well. It would probably be a "notable for one thing only". Never heard that before. Kinda a cheap shot to bring it now that the man's dead and buried. Dlohcierekim 04:02, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

If you would not mind showing me the google hits, its really bothering me cause I looked. Tiptoety ^talk 04:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

146 unique google hits for "Selene Walters +rape". Gotta wonder about the quality of some. Being mentioned in Nancy Reagan's book would be a big plus. Some of it's "Democratic Underground forums". Dlohcierekim 04:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

9 G news hits. Behind paywalls, of course. Dlohcierekim 04:11, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Those are not very good either, if only i could actually see the content of those books, then maybe we would have some good sources. Tiptoety ^talk 04:32, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

• Hello again. I thin I've found something I can do, do increase my contributions to Wikipedia. There is a backlog for dead links, which I will work on. Also, I might do some other things, I'm sorting out a lot of things, what would you suggest I contribute in? Steve Crossin (talk) 04:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Where ever you most like to edit. I would say dont just edit for the heck of raising your edit count, but instead contribute where you like to. Tiptoety ^talk 04:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• I wasnt referring specifically to editing. I was talking about stuff like the help desk. Stuff I can do to help out, become a more well-rounded editor. What would you suggest? Steve Crossin (talk) 04:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Oh, yea, the help desk would be a good place, as well as WP:ANI and WP:RFA. Tiptoety ^talk 04:31, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

• RFA, I know I can contribute to, by "voting" in RFA's. But how can I contribute in WP:ANI? Isn't that just for admins? Steve Crossin (talk) 04:49, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Nope, if you see a way you can help without needing admin ability's then do so, remember to always be bold. Tiptoety ^talk 04:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• I am bold. But, I just didn't know if I had the authority to do that there. Also, can you help me? You see, I often edit wikipedia on my cellphone, yet if my talkpage is too large, I cannot access my talkpage, and reply to messages. Do you think it would be OK for me to archive all the messages on my talk page into this archive? Could you also tell me how to add the Archive 2 link into the archive shortcut box on my talk page? I'd ask if you could do it, but I need to learn by being told, and doing it :) Steve Crossin (talk) 04:56, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Just copy and paste from your talk to the archive page. Then add [[/archive 2|2]] to the archive box. Tiptoety ^talk 05:02, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Okay, but I'm allowed to move all the talk page contents to my archive? There are no open discussions that I am aware of. Can I ask a favour? Could you add some sort of link on the top of your talk page, where it says, "leave me a new message here". I have Opera on my cellphone, and it edits quite well, but having to scroll through the whole page to leave you a talkback template would be frustrating. And, also, I don't know ALL the wikimarkup off by heart. Is there a list I can printout so I can have a copy of the markup code with me when Im editing on my phone. This shows how obsessed I am. Editing on my cellphone. Steve Crossin (talk) 05:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Sure, it is your talkpage. If you just click on the plus "+" at the top of the page next to where it says edit this page, it will automatically create a new comment. There is a kind of list here. Tiptoety ^talk 05:13, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Well, I rather prefer your lesson on WikiMarkup. Is it OK if I copy the contents of that page onto a subpage of mine, and also, update my navigation bar so I can get fast, easy access to it? :) Steve Crossin (talk) 05:22, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Sure that is fine. Tiptoety ^talk 05:22, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Okay, thanks. I don't know how to modify my nav bar though, I'll learn that later. Just wondering, you know how you put my final exam results in a small collapsed box, and my results for the vandalism 1.1 assignment, theyre in collapsible boxes, is there any chance you could...do that for my other lessons, and, possibly put them on my report card? Its just, those questions have valuable info that I can look back onto, and if I can access it somewhere easy, it would be most appreciated. Steve Crossin (talk) 05:32, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I guess I was blocking him while you were warning him. Feel free to unblock if I was over zealous. Dlohcierekim 04:17, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I think I saw a complete article rewrite at Nathalie Handal. Either that or COI, but I'm really not sure. Nevertheless, the edits the new account made blanked a lot of the article including the templates. I rolledback and gave the account a blank2 warning. I may have rolledback appropriately or I may have not. Could you check? -WarthogDemon 04:44, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Yep, looks good. Tiptoety ^talk 04:47, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I hope so. I'm scared I'm violating 3RR . . . this person might only be trying to help but I have absolutely no idea where the communication failure is. -WarthogDemon 05:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

True. I'm just wondering if perhaps this editor is just unable to understand me or something. But she's posting in English which makes no sense. Bizarre. -WarthogDemon 05:17, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Yep, you will never know. Oh and by the way, they where blocked. Tiptoety ^talk 05:18, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

• Hi, I understand now that you are an admin, thay you are busy, but it's been a while since you answered my question, and I went ahead and made the edits to this page, putting the results of my lessons into collapsible boxes. I am being boldSteve Crossin (talk) 06:19, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Sorry, guess i did not see it up there. Sure, you can play around with collapsible boxes. It will take me a while to work on the assignment though....Tiptoety ^talk 06:21, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Can you have a look here. Also, what was the assignment for the Copyright article? Steve Crossin (talk) 06:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Sure, that is fine. There was no assignment, just a lesson. Tiptoety ^talk 06:28, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Right :) Well, my replies might be slow, and my edits will be slow, I dont think Twinkle works with Opera Mobile, and I have been nagged by my wife for an hour to buy ice cream, I can't pull myself away from Wikipedia. Sigh. Well, I have it with me :D Steve Crossin (talk) 06:31, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps I was unclear in my rationale for deletion. "Imaginary potlatch" is a made-up term for a game of no notability, which was created as a redirect by a user who added the irrelevant information to the Time Travelers' Potlatch article. This article has now been merged into the "Games" subsection of the Surrealist techniques article. So, what we have is a redirect from a nonnotable term to another redirect. Rather than change the double redirect so that "Imaginary potlatch" redirects to Surrealist techniques, I put it up for deletion since the term is never used anyway. Does that make sense, or, anyway, more sense? ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 02:18, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
