As the heir to the heir he is still a notable character and as such is worthy of description on wikipedia.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dur85 (talk • contribs)

No, there's nothing there that meets the standards at Wikipedia:Notability (people). Has he been "the subject of multiple non-trivial reports" in major publications? Doesn't appear so. There's an article on the baronetcy that lists his name as heir to the heir presumptive, and his birth year. Since he's never done anything of note other than being born into that family, I can't see any reason to have a separate article on him. Fan-1967 05:24, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And right that you should. However, I've "met" (on my Wiki-travels) some incivil people (inc admins) and for some reason, you don't strike me as one.

Meh, you're running at 55% or so, and it doesn't look good from here. Regardless, the RfA should be a good learning process, and I can definitely see you back up in a few months. I mean, most of the oppose votes only concern your biting, civility and mistaken CSD tagging, and that can easily be fixed with a few months of more experience and improvement. Best of luck in this RfA, Fan. Nishkid64 23:12, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn I feel it is everyone's best interests to withdraw my name at this time. Clearly, valid criticisms of my behavior have been raised that I need to address before thinking about pursuing this again. I think it's time for me to step back, get less involved and less stressed over various issues. I thank those who offered their support, and maybe in the future I can justify their confidence.

I'm sorry it had to end that way, but I am glad it served as a learning experience, for the both of us. Hopefully you can improve based on the opposition votes, and maybe I can nominate you again in the future. Nishkid64 20:20, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think I have, in fact, gotten too involved and too stressed, and it's time to decompress a bit. I need to examine what kind of role I want to play in the future. Some less stressful activities might be a good idea. There are tons of articles needing copyediting, tons of links that need DABing. Less RCP would definitely be a good idea. Fan-1967 20:24, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chiming in; I'm impressed by your withdrawal message and, like most others I think, despite my opposition this time, would be more than happy to reconsider you in a few months. --Dweller 20:28, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chiming in as I suppose you would have expected from me; I am truly sorry it didn't work out and think the community as a whole has missed out on appointing an admin with an astounding vision to see things for what they really are. It's not even like you were speedying valid articles or being sarcastic to anyone other than blatant vandals or twelve year olds - I've seen a few admins do that myself and thought it was ok (although it's not my style and I couldn't carry it off). Maybe you have to be an admin before you can do it, though. Anyway, good luck in whatever you do next - as long as it is still on Wikipedia.

Bubba hotep 20:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply

No, the fact that I was snapping at the vandals and the twelve-year-olds is an indication that I was letting them get me overstressed, even if they might have deserved it sometimes. Regardless, they should always be treated with a cool head, and I wasn't always doing that. Fan-1967 20:39, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are arguments for both under- and over-reaction in the case of vandals. I suppose what you are saying is true, though. Perhaps it's because you are (or maybe were, now) the polar opposite of what is deemed acceptable without being an

Let me add my voice to the show of support above. As I mentioned in your RfA, I think some of the concerns expressed there were genuine but some of them were not. Don't over-analyze the whole thing: it's not easy to keep cool when dealing with vandals and for the most part you've handled that quite well. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 22:28, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry. We have interacted well in the past, and I supported you. Please try again in three months or so.--

As I say, I have always related well with you, and when I was a new editor you were on occasion most supportive. After addressing whatever concerns some editors may have had, I urge you to re-apply. I will nominate you in April if you wish, and if you let me know. As you will appreciate, you suffered from a pile-on, as I did in November.--

Anthony.bradbury 23:08, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply

The most annoying thing about a pile-on? People are discouraged from adding their support if it is an obvious oppose (at that point). The converse is also true. People are discouraged from supporting if the "consensus" is oppose. And you're not "allowed" to tell anyone you are running, so no doubt you will get a few people saying they "wish [they] knew". The answer? A closed ballot. With an X on a card without seeing who voted for who...

Sorry I had to oppose. If concerns are addressed - which I'm sure they will be - I would be happy to give strong support in 2 months or more. Please leave a note on my talk page when you stand again (not spam, because I've requested it). Tyrenius 22:07, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll second that. Certainly the sarcasm and such - I have to admit, your OnlineIdols comment made me laugh - isn't appropriate if you want to be an admin. Also, if you don't mind a bit of speculative criticism, I think that when your views are opposed, sometimes you take it a little personally, viewing it as more of a challenge than just an opposing view. We're a big community and even very experienced users will often disagree with each other on grey-area questions. Consider hitting the brakes when you find that a discussion is turning into a debate or an argument. As with Tyrenius, let me know if you choose to RfA again, and of course feel free to ask me any questions about my comments here or on the RfA. | Mr. Darcy talk 00:19, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, some amusing comments for sure, and we all feel like it at times. Hmm. Tyrenius 23:51, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite welcome for your well earned support. If you could tell when you run for adminship again, then I would be happy to support you once again.

The Portuguese (and German) Wikipedias seem to have thoroughly verified the (somewhat arbitrary) criteria for deletion and decided not to do it. She was a real person, a real poet, a published author, and a nationally acclaimed journalist. I think this is far more important than, say, to keep adding badly translated wikis about Pokemon thingummies. Any ideas?

Hi,
I need your help. I am working on a research project at Boston College, studying creation of medical information on Wikipedia. You are being contacted, because you have been identified as an important contributor to one or more articles.

Would you will be willing to answer a few questions about your experience? We've done considerable background research, but we would also like to gather the insight of the actual editors. Details about the project can be found at the user page of the project leader, geraldckane. Survey questions can be found at geraldckane/medsurvey. Your privacy and confidentiality will be strictly protected!

The questions should only take a few minutes. I hope you will be willing to complete the survey, as we do value your insight. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Professor Kane if you have any questions.
