RFA question

RfA Question

You wikistalker you, actually bothering to read my user page... :-P. You wouldn't happen to go to UMBC yourself, would you? Hersfold 23:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

A good call indeed. Your secret is safe with me. And the rest of the RfA, I guess... :-) Hersfold 23:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Sarah Larson

Thanks for supporting the non-deletion of the article. This all started when I wanted to see what wiki had to say about her, and I'd've been content to find the article that I ended up writing. Some of those other editors can be a bit stodgy and prescriptivist when they should remember wikipedia ought to be descriptivist, eh? If you ever need some back up on a valid point you're making somewhere, let me know. By the way, Larson's star meter on imdb is up 26,640% since I added her imdb link to her wikipedia page. How obviously non-notable she is. JesseRafe (talk) 04:32, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window.

Your trust in me is greatly appreciated, and I can assure you it has not been misplaced. I shall use these tools to the best of my ability, and will do my best not to let you down. Thank you once again, and happy editing as always! Hersfold 20:13, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

clarification

Is this RfA question serious, a polite joke, a mean joke, a protest regarding how many questions there are or another reason? I just want clarification. Thanks and cheers, Kingturtle (talk) 21:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

my RFA

Thank you! Thank you for your support in my RFA. The passed with a final count of (73/3/1), so I am now an administrator. Please let me know if at any stage you need help, or if you have comments on how I am doing as an admin. Have a nice day! :) Aleta 18:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/KnightLago

I have answered the question you posed in my above RFA. If you have more questions or needed further explanation please let me know. Thanks! KnightLago (talk) 19:35, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Your RfA Question

I've answered the question you posed at my RfA. --Philosopher  22:59, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Lady Aleena's RfA

Keepscases...Thank you for supporting my nomination for adminship. Through it I have become aware of a great many people who can help me in my future editing endeavors. Even though I was not promoted, your support shows that I still have something to contribute to Misplaced Pages, even if it is minor edits to fix spelling and grammar to working in WikiProjects to help others make great articles. If you wish to further discuss the nomination, please use its talk page. Stop by my talk page anytime, even if it is just to say hello. Have a wonderful day! - LA @ 04:32, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

RfA Questions

It doesn't really help the process at all to add joke questions to an RfA. It was more or less established here that those type of questions shouldn't be asked, and if asked they should be removed (See Bureaucrat comments here and here. If you have any questions, go to User talk:WjBscribe.--Koji†Dude 23:30, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

My Recent Rfa

Although you opposed me in my recent RFA I will still say thanks as from your comments and the other users comments that opposed me I have made a todo list for before my next RFA. I hope I will have resolved all of the issues before then and I hope that you would be able to support me in the future. If you would like to reply to this message or have any more suggestions for me then please message me on my talk page as I will not be checking back here. Thanks again. ·Add§hore· /_Cont 16:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks so much for your support and interesting question in myRfA, which closed successfully this morning. _{TravellingCari} 16:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

RfA

AHHHHHHHHHH ha ha ha ha. I just read that and found it HILARIOUS! Thanks for your comments. Carter | Talk to me 14:35, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I just recovered. I've been laughing hysterically from this support, and I had to look at what it was referencing. Exquisite, Keepscases. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

my RfA - Ta!

RfA thank you spam

Hi there - thank you for supporting me in my RfA, which passed 69/10/3 yesterday. Thanks also for the question you asked. I will put the tools to good use and hopefully justify the confidence you had in me. Best wishes Fritzpoll (talk) 11:46, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank You

Thank you for the comments on my RFA. I withdrew the RFA. I will work on the concerns that some of the editors have had.

Your question=

Please do comment on my haiku. ffm 15:24, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

My RFB

Thank you for your comments in my RFB. Since it was only at 64%, it was a shoo-in to be unsuccessful, so I withdrew. I didn't want it to run until its scheduled close time because my intent in standing for RFB was to help the bureaucrats with their workload, not give them one more RfX to close. Through the course of my RFB, I received some very valuable feedback, some of it was contradictary, but other points were well agreed upon. I have ceased my admin coaching for now to give me time to revamp my method. I don't want to give up coaching completely, but I'm going to find a different angle from which to approach it. As for my RFA Standards, I am going to do some deep intraspection. I wrote those standards six months ago and I will slowly retool them. This will take some time for me to really dig down and express what I want in an admin candidate. If, after some serious time of deep thought, I don't find anything to change in them, I'll leave them the way they are. I'm not going to change them just because of some community disagreement as to what they should be. Will I stand for RFB again in the future? I don't know. Perhaps some time down the road, when my tenure as an administrator is greater than one year, if there is a pressing need for more active bureaucrats, maybe. If there no pressing need, then maybe not. Useight (talk) 03:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your comments, which you added in discussion at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Alvis Ojeda. Please note that on Misplaced Pages, consensus is determined by discussion, not voting, and it is the quality of arguments that counts, not the number of people supporting a position. Consider reading about the deletion policy for a brief overview for the deletion process, and how we decide what to keep and what to delete. We hope you decide to stay and contribute even more. Thank you! Beeblbrox (talk) 17:58, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Rfa thanks

Thank you for participating in my RfA. The Rfa was successful with 64 Support and 1 Neutral. None of this would have happened without your support. I would also like to thank my nominator Wizardman and my sensei/co-nom bibliomaniac15--Lenticel 09:12, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

SarekOfVulcan RFA neutral

Good evening. I just wanted to remind you that my RfA ends later today. Could you take another look and see if I've either addressed your concerns or done something that swings you into oppose? Thanks. :-)--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 05:21, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

SarekOfVulcan RFA

Thank you for !voting on my RfA. If you supported, I'll make sure your confidence is not misplaced; if you opposed, I'll take your criticism into account and try to adjust my behavior accordingly.

See you around the wiki!--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 01:07, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thank you for your support in my recent RfA, which closed successfully. I felt the process was a thorough review of my contributions and my demeanor, and I was very gratified to see how many editors took the time to really see what I'm about and how I can be of help to the project. As a result, some editors changed their views during the discussion, and most expressed specific, detailed points to indicate their opinion (whether it was , , or ).

A number of editors were concerned about my level of experience. I was purposeful in not waiting until a particular benchmark occurred before requesting adminship, because I feel - as many do - that adminship is not a reward and that each case is individual. It is true that I am not the most experienced editor around here, but I appreciate that people dug into my contributions enough to reach the conclusion that I seem to have a clue. Also, the best thing about this particular concern is that experience is something an editor - or administrator - can always get more of, and I'll continue doing that, just as I've been doing. (If I seem a little slow at it, feel free to slap me.)

I am a strong believer in the concept that this project is all about the content, and I'm looking forward to contributing wherever I can. Please let me know if I can be of any help. In the meantime, I'm off to school...

Thanks again!

RfA questions

Please make sure that questions you ask RfA candidates are necessary and related to their fitness to serve as administrators. It is unfair to treat candidates as a captive audience expected to answer any question it may amuse you to ask them. Many find the process stressful enough without also having to answer frivolous questions. I have removed your question about Chimpanzees from Excirial's RfA. WjBscribe 20:32, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

I notice that you received this warning from WJBscribe, but you still added these inappropriate questions to RFAs: . Please stop. And consider this your last warning. –xeno (talk) 18:58, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

I think a block for 12 hours would stop disrupion...Shapiros10 _{My work} 18:59, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm not going to block as these questions are sometimes helpful, do try to tone it down a little from those examples. –xeno (talk) 22:57, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

• Sinebot probably won't harass you so much if you include a link to your userpage in the lead-in. –xeno (talk) 19:53, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Keepscases, I think you have a great sense of humor. Your questions are funny! RfA is very stressful. Your questions can help to reduce stress. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 05:03, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Please stop adding questions to RfAs that are offensive, inappropriate and irrelevant, such as this. Prodego 19:07, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Really, I do not get all of that from the question. Mind you, its an odd question, but one thing its not is offensive. This is now a topic on WT:RFA. Synergy 19:43, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
