Hey, thanks for the barnstar! :) --Casper2k3 01:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you - I really really appreciate that someone has noticed my research as well as my anti-vandalism attempts. --JohnDBuell 01:06, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
First, thanks for the barnstar... it made my day. Second, I just finished revising the article based upon comments I received during the FAC process... I withdrew it (despite it's probable passing) to incorporate some great ideas others gave me. I'd love it if you went back and checked out the article now and let me know what you thought. I'm also very interested in recommendations on how to improve it (namely areas which might be confusing or hard to understand.)Balloonman 18:31, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- | Hello Sharkface217! I want to thank you for taking time to comment in my recent request for adminship. Though it didn't succeed, I value everyone's opinion, and hope to use the descriptions of the neutral and oppose votes to improve. TeckWizTalkContribs@ 22:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC) |
Thanks for your words of support in my RfA. I'm glad that you affirmed Radiant's nomination and I'll be measured in my use of the cleaning closet's contents. I'm eyeing your 'status.gif' with larceny in my mind ... looks like a useful thing to have on my user page. Also, referring to your seeing I'd spent time on the Village Pump, I feel I learn more about the thinking that drives editors — good, bad, and vandalous — by spending time there than most other places.

I doubt that there's a significant number of editors who'd be interested in something like that, as it's not a very cleanly-defined area. It's not clear, at least to me, whether you mean things like psychological warfare (e.g. shock and awe) or the more medically-oriented questions of warfare and psychology (e.g. shell shock), and the two are probably likely to draw very different groups of editors. The first one is pretty neatly covered by the Military science task force; the second would probably work better under some more generic Military medicine task force, but I don't think we have the needed level of interest for creating one.

Sharkface217/Archive2, thank you for your support in my RfA which passed on 13th December 2006 with a tally of 49/10/5. I am delighted by the result, a little daunted by the scope of the additional tools (I shall be cautious in my use of them), and will try to make everyone "proud". I am well aware that becoming an Admin is not just about a successful nomination, but a continuing process of gaining further experience; for this I shall welcome your feedback.

I appreciate your comments but unless I am very much mistaken I don't think you did more than glance at the articles before copying and pasting some bolded text. I disagree with the general premise that a google hit plus a self-published album makes a group notable. If you wan't to look into some reliable third party sources for these groups, I'd consider that a more productive way to go about arguing for their being kept. savidan(talk) (e@) 06:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your edit at Tarja Turunen, the Fair use criteria is explicit: if there is a free alternative, use it. This way we encourage people to search for better free alternatives. I am in the process of uploading a better free image, but it will take me still some time as I need to coordinate this with the photographer.

Greetings,
Please take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2006_December_30#PGNx_Media . trialsanderrors showed me the deletion discussion for Cokemachineglow. PGNx Media is also included in Metacritic, as well as other sources. If the decision is overturned and the page is kept, it can provide precedent of using Metacritic as a benchmark for notability. Perhaps the cokemachineglow article would be kept after this. If you do not agree that the website should be kept at this time, please contact me before voting so. Thanks for your consideration; I will be forever indebted. Infomanager 00:21, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't do anything yet. From the looks of the contributions, it looks like this is a pretty good user. I don't really see any vandalism (unless I'm missing something) edits by the user. By the way, if you have substantial proof that MAR-C is a sockpuppet of Nimbat230, then you should take it to CheckUser to verify. Nishkid64 14:28, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Obviously, I don't know anything about the topic but I would suggest citing some sources. Check google books, google scholor, google web, etc. There might be some publications about this topic, but unless you find at least source talking about the topic as a whole, I'd be nearly as skeptical as the prod-er. savid@n 16:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Just so you know, Sharkface, you have every right to de-prod Space warfare in fiction yourself, simply because you object to its proposed deletion. You don't even need to justify your action to anyone. You may just do it, and that will negate the prod. And you certainly need not to beg Gyr to do it. If you honestly believe the article should be kept then I recommend that you exercise your Right to De-prod promptly, whereas the article's 5-day reprieve has expired, and so it could be axed at any moment.
I see that you've added some sources to the article. That should stand it in better stead if Gyr, or anyone, afterward decides to AfD it. I don't know whether there really needs to be a separate article on this topic or not, but if you think so, and believe that the article does or could be made to meet Wikipedia's requirements, then I encourage you to take the prod off without delay. I'm tempted to do so myself, just on principle.
The bottom line is that prods are not meant to go ahead unless no one objects to them. If you object (which you do, by all indications) then simply delete the prod tag and make the would-be deleter take it to an AfD, if he so chooses. The article might end up getting deleted, nevertheless, if it goes to AfD, but at least that way it will be executed only after a fuller hearing, not on the summary judgement of a single editor.
Please answer me here, if you wish to answer. I'll "watch" this page for the next week or so.

Those articles on Christopher Columbus got a lot of edits from anonymous IPs today. I happened to catch one of the first when an IP inserted something to the effect, CC had "a big Colon" thinking no one would notice it, followed by the Serb theory comments with a book that is out of print. I requested semi-protection on both pages as several IPs have inserted the same comments today. Having to reverse the edits interrupted my football games. Ronbo76 03:58, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

No offense taken, I appreciate your bluntness. To return your honesty, i'd have to concur that you're probably not ready either statistically: I thought you must've had around 6,000; not 2,000. I'll probably have 5,000 edits by the end of today at this rate. currently at 4,734. How many project space edits in your opinion? If I can't find a nominator after 500 or so, i'll self nom.

Well, somebody beat me to the category of military brat, but I went through last night and updated all of the brats on the List of famous military brats to have the category on their page. Well, the category has already been nominated for deletion. The reasoning is because it is a "non-neutral" term and parental occupation is irrelevant. Thus, I'm letting people who have contributed to the Military brat article know so that they can support keeping the category. Here is the link to the discussion [1] Balloonman 20:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
and, there might be a page you could help me with: DJ Disco Wiz. Earlier today this page was nominated for speedy deletion. It was deleted twice and recreated twice by the user who self-created it. Thinking he would be shifty, he created another page Dj Disco Wiz. User talk:DJDWIZ and User talk:Lizettefc keep recreating the pages and putting his questionable claims on other articles like Disc jockey. Several other editors took a look; deleted the pages but did nothing to block the users. I kinda feel like I was battling them today like I did the vandal IPs yesterday. I put a warning on both Talkpages but the other editors did not (to the best of my knowledge). Thanks, Ronbo76 02:14, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
What really surprised me is that one of the editors, who deleted one of the pages, did not issue a warning or nominate either/both page for speedy deletion again. I put the proposed for but no one did a second. I was lucky to catch the second page Dj Disco Wiz because his sockpuppet, User talk:Lizettefc is on my Watchlist. I hate going into dogfights when Mav sitting on the deck. . . Ronbo76 02:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sharkface217. Thank you very much for your message. At the moment I will be taking things easy with seeking adminship status for at least the next couple of months. However, I would like to stand again and hopefully be promoted. Your offer is very kind and I accept very graciously.

My edit history shows I've spent substantial time and made considerable contributions to WP:AFD, WP:AIV. and other areas you've mentioned. I've underplayed my candidacy, but I encourage you to take a second look at my edit record, Perhaps you might be willing to consider awaiting input from sysops who are familiar with it.

Wickey Selpub Factor (n. pna How do I self Wiki-publish Factor) - The Wickey Selpub Factor (WSF) is defined as what some people will do to get themselves listed on something other than a blank wall (grafiti), MySpuce dot com or their other fantasy isle location where they are king. The WSF is usually closely followed by an editor who has a big black dog (The Fast Eddy Wheelie Theory) to take care of their vandal edits. Typos in the WSF help because they usually become a searchable factor on the Interfet SEarch Engene of your choice and why this editar included as an exampill in this sentence.
Seriously, if you leave this on your talkpage, I believe in a week or less it will become a searchable term. ;) Ronbo76 09:53, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your support in the RfA on my behalf. It is an honor to have received your expression of confidence. To be chosen as an administrator requires a high level of confidence by a broad section of the community. Although I received a great deal of support, at this time I do not hold the level of confidence required, and the RfA did not pass. It is my wish that I will continue to deserve your confidence. Sincerely, --BostonMA talk 20:12, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello Sharkface217, I appreciated your comments on W:Requests for adminship/Shirahadasha. You had indicated that I didn't have an adequate answer to Q1 and hadn't provided sufficient information about scuffles with other editors or how I might enforce the policies. I appreciate your providing feedback on these issues, and I've attempted to provide more material on these matters. Other admins have also weighed in regarding their experiences observing me. Thanks for taking the time to review my candidacy, and I appreciate your expressing a willingness to consider my additional responses. Best Wishes, --Shirahadasha 01:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Guess what? The test worked and in less than three days. Please see: the search forWickey Selpub Factor on Yahoo. I almost feel like publishing this as it vindicates my theory. Do the search and you will get one hit. My original theory concerned what some people will do to get self-published. It arose because in an AfD I nominated, there was a mispelled word similiar to one in this article Ha-Ash. That mispell is "epynomus" and you can see my thoughts on that article's talkpage. I may ask for a helpme to see how to bubble this up to the admin types. Ronbo76 16:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
post theory I am not sure if it is in the correct forum or how to watch it. Ronbo76 20:34, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I may need a break, Mav. If I leave my wingman for the time to create a stub article, will you keep the wiki world safe from anon IP bandits? Ronbo76 06:02, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Mav, I have a friendly in need of backup. I am on Alert One with my TCS being changed from ronbo76 as soon as my launch order is approved. Will require tanking enroute. ronbo76, out. (Seriously, I have to offline to attend a personal matter on a two day trip) Ronbo76 18:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Almost forgot - it was so hectic yesterday - to thank you for the second Barnstar. I just logged in to take a look my Watchlist. The wireless hotspot I am keeps losing signal - meaning I can't stay long. Ronbo76 06:44, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/U.S. Navy slang I use this all the time. Looks like it will lose. Vandal six o'clock low. Descending out of angels 28 to engage. Switches hot, clear to engage. ronbo76, out. Ronbo76 22:46, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Here is my latest case. I do quite bit now, in fact I have been doing just what you suggested because somebody cross-posted about me.
Thankyou very much for my barnstar. It is greatly appreciated, and the first time I got a Surreal one! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 17:53, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for telling me, but I actually just changed it about a week ago (you probably saw my older signature on one of my older posts). –Llama mansign here 18:04, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
I thought you might be interested in this afd Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Martin_Perreault it is along the same lines as the Curtis Newart debate from a couple of days ago. Your input would be appriciated, Thanks. Daniel J. Leivick 19:27, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, you reverted my last edit at The Pentagon, and labeled my edit as vandalism. First of all, please assume good faith. Second of all, i'm baffled at why you think my edit was vandalism. I started a talk page header, please respond there instead of here or on my talk page. Fresheneesz 19:17, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support in my my RfA, which passed with a tally of 117/0/1. I hope that my conduct as an admin lives up to the somewhat flattering confidence the community has shown in me, and comfortably exceed the standards expected of admins in my interactions with others. Please don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page should you need anything or want to discuss something with me.--Nilfanion (talk) 15:48, 9 January 2007 (UTC) |
You recently expressed concern about the length of my signature. Well............................... I've taken your advice and heres my new one! It may still seam a little long but I can assure you this is just because of the length of my name. Could you let me know if you think its OK? RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or lets have banter 16:24, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Just wanted to let you know that your barnstar was a factor in my returning to Wikipedia. Many thanks. ॐ Metta Bubble puff 06:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
The problems with the article were listed in the prod tag I put on it and the other tags that are still there. Nothing in the article is sourced and everything that isn't mention of a plot point is original research. Fixing the problems means finding some sources that actually discuss the topic and using their information, rather than things you've just heard or think of but can't source.

Sharkface217, ronbo76 on guard. Please come up Navy common when available. ronbo76 out.
Hey, thanks so much for supporting my recent RFA. A number of editors considered that I wasn't ready for the mop yet and unfortunately the RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). There are a number of areas which I will be working on (including changing my username) in the next few months in order to allay the fears of those who opposed my election to administrator.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for your support over the past week. I've been blown away by the level of interest taken in my RFA and appreciate the time and energy dedicated by all the editors who have contributed to it, support, oppose and neutral alike. I hope to bump into you again soon and look forward to serving you and Wikipedia in any way I can. Cheers!

You supported the article last nomination. Could you please resupport it as the nomination restrated? The Placebo Effect 22:16, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Sharkface217, ronbo76. Roger your vector. Am cruising the WP:CAL taking care of some abandoned articles. Hope to see your callsign soon. ronbo76, out. Ronbo76 22:47, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
