If you do become an admin, I would suggest dropping the political affliation stuff from your userpage. Why? Because I think it could cause you issues when you get into a POV dispute. Notice I said when. :) Because it will happen. Usually it's by accident. A friend will ask you to help out or you'll make a seemingly innocent decision that makes some angry. I've been actively avoiding POV conflicts for 2 years and yet I've been involved in several. And I am sure that you are unbiased and neutral. But. POV pushers will see you as non-neutral just by opposing them for procedural reasons. Having your affiliation listed will give them more fuel. People who know me well on here know my affiliation. But most don't. And I think it's helped me keep people on both sides of the fence placated. Now if you feel like it won't matter one way or the other, that's certainly your choice. But I'm speaking from alot of experience here. POV disputes are major league headaches. From my experience, whatever you can do to minimize the pain is worth it. :) --WoohookittyWoohoo! 23:07, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I am a Libertarian Republican, as I am socially liberal and fiscally conservative, although I'm fairly centered on the political compass, reaching no more than 2 points in any direction. I also greatly relate to South Park Republicans, and I would jokingly consider myself one of those, as well.
Sir, you are my hero as of 06.02.07. Why can't I meet people like you in real life. HumanZoom 08:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Those are reasonable answers. A side note' if you get the admin bit you'll find that in 99% of cases (your own excluded) the uploader does not mean "permission to license under the GFDL", but rather "permission to use on Wikipedia". Go ahead and delete; there's no point in doing the OTRS dance. In the rare case that they really did get GFDL permission, it's easy to undelete the image. But by and large it's a waste of time to assume that a permission email will be worthwhile. I hope I can say this without anyone accusing me of WP:ABF. =) But the fact is that only a tiny minority of users understand the licensing here; the sane assumption is that any given user does not. ··coelacan 18:31, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
If you do a quick Google on "Brian Crecente" you'll see that there are approx 127,000 hits. Additionally he is the editor of a Top-40 blog (per Technorati). Below are a couple of links about Brian Crecente by other media sources that help show WP:N:

If you agree I would ask that you consider changing your recommendation. [Brian Crecente] Drew30319 23:07, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Should be closing this evening - it looks like you might pass, but you aren't at the 75% threshold. It's a shame that so many people opposed you for pointless reasons. Personally I think you would make a very good admin; if you don't pass, I'll be happy to nominate you the next time round. Btw wish me a happy 18th birthday - despite which I'm at home editing Wikipedia, which probably tells you a lot about my social life. :-) WaltonAssistance! 16:47, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
WaltonAssistance! has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding ((subst:Smile)) to their talk page with a friendly message.
Thanks for the birthday message! WaltonAssistance! 17:07, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Wishing you luck tonight! Let's hope Wikipedia gets a great new admin! I'm here studying for exams, but I will definitely check in tonight and see how it does. --wpktsfs 20:14, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Sweetie, a word regarding your RfA. Tho the 'crats haven't closed it yet as I write this, it must have ended by now, and chances is, it won't succeed this time. No matter what, I want you to know your hard and consistent work is much appreciated and valued. You are quickly becoming an expert user, and your involvement speaks volumes of your love for our project. Keep in mind that nearly everyone who opposed was also supportive of your many qualities, and have expressed their will to support you at a later moment. Furthermore, I've seen candidates with a similar time as editors fail spectacularly, yet yours was close to succeed; this is in no way a failure, dear Hayley. Please, keep it up. I'm positive that when you go for it again in a couple of months or so, you will have a landslide of supports. Please let me know if I can ever be of help to you, k? Love! :) Phaedriel - 00:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
I was looking at the RfA page, saw you weren't listed, so I checked the history... didn't make it...
But... look at it like this, if you got over 70% support for that RfA, think what will happen next time. Whsitchy 03:35, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

"Little by little, the bird builds his nest." It's the French version of "Rome wasn't built in a day." Basically I'm saying, everyone likes you (with the exception of that i.p. address... idk what was going on there...) so keep up your fine work and you will become an admin. You build yourself with every edit you make. --wpktsfs 04:28, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Hayley,
It's my sad duty to inform you that your RfA didn't reach consensus this time. You seem very well liked but almost all the opposers and quite a few neutrals cited your short time at Wikipedia. Many Wikipedians whose RfAs didn't pass the first (or second, or third) time have gone on to become successful admins later. Just do what you do best, keep your spirits up, build your Wikiresume and come back in a month or two. :) Cheers, Cecropia 04:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the note. Sometimes this bureaucrat impartiality business really hurts, and this is one of those times. I have two daughters just about your age and the elder didn't get a summer job she had her heart set on and you can imagine how sad and crestfallen she was. But this RfA is just a speedbump for you and I expect I (or another 'crat if one beats me to it) will be congratulating you before very long. -- Cecropia 04:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
P.S. If I feel any sharp pains tonight I know it will be disappointed Wikipedians sticking pins in their Cecropia Dolls. -- Cecropia 04:38, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Come on... give us a smile, H girl :) Phaedriel - 04:35, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Hey I'm sorry that your RfA failed. I didn't have a problem with becoming an admin, but I guess there are unwritten rules us "Newbies" don't know about, mainly that no matter how good an editor is, he can't become an admin unless he spends 3 months here. I hope this doesn't discourage you from continuing to edit here at wikipedia. I will gladly support you again. BH (Talk) 17:31, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
No problem, I hope to see you around again. BH (Talk) 21:45, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi there! You offered to adopt me a few weeks ago, and I was wondering if your offer still stands. Sorry I couldn't reply sooner, but I've been really busy with school and family events. Anyway, I'd like to be adopted if you don't mind. Thanks! --Ikthael 01:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi, hmwith! I'm sorry about your RFA (even though I opposed). I'd just like to say again how valuable you are to Wikipedia and how I think you should apply again eventually. Here's my smile: Gutworth 02:26, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi, sorry about your RfA. I was really hoping that you'd be through. And I am sorry about my flip-flops :-P. But I see that you have gained a lot of respect in the community and I am sure your next RfA will sail through without a hitch. Please drop me a note when you do decide to go up for RfA again (if you need an extra !vote to make it a WP:100 or something. :) Happy editing. - TwoOars 20:15, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I left a message on the talk page of the admin who deleted it. You might want to leave a message for him, too. The reason he gave for deleting it didn't even match the original debate. Wrad 18:52, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Why do you insist on reversing my edits to the NERF page? I am not "vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information" in any way shape or form. The page currently has numerous errors on it, and every time I try to correct them you change it back to the wrong information. If anyone is introducing incorrect information to the NERF page it is you, so please stop! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.253.102.8 (talk • contribs)

I understand about the link spam business though I disagree. If no one connected with a web site could ever link AND Wiki were consistent AND it were possible to really prevent such links, half the links on Wiki would go away. I was naive because I don't think there is anything wrong with what I did. I didn't cover my tracks. Dumb me. But I have made my arguments already and no one at Wiki cares. No one wants to discuss it. Wow, just like government.
I am very disappointed in Wiki. I had hoped for better from a voluntary organization. I was excited about Wiki when I first learned about it. But it seems to be just as cliquish and closed as any government group, just as rigid, just as much of a coverup and wink and a nod as any government agency. Naive me again.
Am I overreacting? Tell me why I am wrong.

Thank you for your prompt, courteous and helpful email.
I'm a little unclear on what you mean [when you say “However, for one, I never said that you couldn't link your website because it was your's. If they're all personal webpages, then half of the links should go away. Spam is big problem on Wiki, and it's hard to detect and even harder to prevent.”]. The web site is not my personal web site, it is a fan site for Bruce Payne. I am the webmaster along with a colleague. Does this make it a "personal" web site? We did not link for our own aggrandizement; we thought we were providing information about Bruce Payne.
I have a question about this policy. According to the guidelines as I understand them, linking to a fan site is OK if there is a magazine interview. But apparently it's not OK if you do it yourself. But who else but the webmaster is going to know that web site has such interviews and cares enough to put the link up? A link was left up to interviews on another site and ours was taken down. To me this makes no sense and seems, quite frankly, discriminatory and, please forgive me, downright mean and dumb.
I offered several arguments why I thought fan sites were not automatically "spam" and did in fact offer helpful information that was relevant. Fan sites are more than just photos; many of them, including ours, provide bios, updates, interviews and other info that cannot be included on Wiki directly. And again, who but the webmaster is likely to put up links?
My initial request included reference to the accuracy of his statements about me as well as the issue of spam. Perhaps I should have made two different requests.
I am very upset.
I'd take it to [where you said].
Thank you for this helpful information.
Yes all this is upsetting to my colleague and me. Our fan site was approached by Wikipedia, as were other Bruce Payne fan sites, to contribute and help with information in creating the BP page on Wikipedia. Our fan site has made many contributions to this page as well as creating new pages,as I indicated above. It is upsetting to us when we were the ones that were approached to help Wiki with this project (this info is in the history), and yet we are now receiving this unfair treatment. BTW, as far as I can tell, we are the ONLY BP fan site to edit and add to this page. Yet, the link to our interview page was taken down and another one to a dead site was left up, AGWLBP. Do you see why we are bitter?
Your courteous and helpful reply does make me feel a little better about wiki. If there were more editors like you, I would feel better about wiki.

I was recently inspired by His noodily appendage to look up Bobby Henderson. The article is very short, and the talk page says that it should be a redirect, as voted on during a VFD. Should I change it back to the redirect? The last edit was on the 7th. What do you think? DangerousNerd talk 23:48, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice! I redirected and added the proper links to Flying Spaghetti Monster and Bobby Henderson (musician). DangerousNerd talk 00:49, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
