On 15 October 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Applesauce cake, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the preparation of applesauce cake dates back to early colonial times in the New England Colonies of the northeastern United States? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Applesauce cake. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hi. Hate to bug you. An AfD nomination of mine was recently closed as "keep" through a nac procedure. I normally don't question closures, even if I disagree with the decision, as I can usually see the methodology used in arriving at the decision (again, even if I disagree with that methodology). But this one I can't seem to understand: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alexandros Petersen. Would you mind taking a look at it? Thanks. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:02, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

@Onel5969: It's not clear how the keep decision was devised in the discussion. Perhaps the closer considered the article about the subject worthy of retention, and closed the discussion with their opinion in mind. I recommend contacting the closer to request clarification and discuss the matter with them. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 18:14, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I am hoping to request to become an administrator and wanted to ask if you would be willing to nominate me for such so I have your support? Thank you! David Condrey ^{log talk} 04:43, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello @David Condrey: Some comments and questions for you before potentially moving forward include:

• I suggest creating and using an archive for your talk page posts. At my first RfA, some people opposed in part per my clearing, rather than archiving of posts.
• You have the ((Discouraged)) template on your user page. People may oppose based upon this alone, being wary of granting adminship to a user who is experiencing a "loss of motivation". What are the circumstances for your posting of the template?
• What are your motivations for attaining access to the tools? What administrative areas do you have an interest in working in?
• What administrative areas do you have some experience in (e.g. posts/contributions to WP:SPI, WP:RPP, WP:AIV, WP:ANI, etc.)?
• Your AfD Statistics denote only seven AfD contributions, and I wasn't able to locate a CSD log (example) or Prod log (example) under your user name. Do you have plans on working in areas regarding deletion?
• Five out of the sixteen articles you have created were later deleted (see Pages created under your user name). To what degree are you aware about Wikipedia's various content guidelines and notability guidelines?
• What areas of your editing/types of contributions have you performed that you're proud of? Do you have any areas of general interest that you gravitate toward? If so, do said areas of general interest correspond in some manner with admin work?

On 28 October 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cats and the Internet, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that although cats have an unprecedented popularity on the internet, no one is entirely sure why? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.
