User talk:Phoenix-wiki/Archive for January 08

I thought I could do whatever I wanted on MY OWN USER-PAGE.. but since this is evidently not so, I have changed my site to not offend anyone. And now your name is on the list too. These are all editors who look at EVERYTHING, and always has a comment or two, but hardly ever add any new information themselves. Just delete and complain. P.S: Why did you go to see my user-page, is this something you frequently do, look at user-pages that might be offensive, or was it just a coincidence? Kind Regards, KnatLouie (talk) 19:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Accept. Also, please see this RFA I filed before I went on vacation. Thanks! -- Whiteandnerdy111 (talk) 19:55, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thats a good idea (to create that page at /Coaching). -- Whiteandnerdy111 (talk) 20:14, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's someone waiting for a response at the request coaching section on the VC page. See my comments on your coaching page. The Transhumanist 19:58, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Believe me, I can understand why it took a while, but it looks great!! I figure I'm going to freak out Betacommandbot asking him to do something with it as soon as I can finish the Melanesia request for him. John Carter (talk) 21:10, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Updated Jan 8 - 6:30am -- Whiteandnerdy111 (talk) 19:36, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Updated (and DYK needs updating ;D) -- Whiteandnerdy111 (talk) 21:02, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Except its in the holding pen. -- Whiteandnerdy111 (talk) 21:09, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Next update ("...and the dyk part would be at least a couple inches below the end of the news. Don't worry, though, as it will be on in the update after this one" - Maxim) -- Whiteandnerdy111 (talk) 21:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The DYK has been nom'd. If I can have another task for the meantime, that will be nice. -- Whiteandnerdy111 (talk) 08:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I accept. :D Lex ^T/_C Guest Book 19:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your comments on AN, I find it curious how you know what does and does not make me uncomfortable. It's a little disturbing that you believe you have such manner of insight. Can to explain? Bstone (talk) 06:38, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the response. I appreciate it. Bstone (talk) 20:39, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hi. Was this oversight done? 62.78.158.150 (talk) 15:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently an email was sent to the oversight mailing list, meaning that it was done (They almost always are).---Phoenix-wiki 16:08, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does it drink a lot of milk..:) Igor Berger (talk) 03:11, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Holy shit dude, you got a niceeeeeee userpage. I want to steal it. BonesBrigade 03:59, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is marked AfD and I have about 4 days to get Andy Beard notable. If you can help me out would be greatly appreicated. Thank you, Igor Berger (talk) 11:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I've never heard of Andy Beard so there's not much I can add to the article.-Phoenix-wiki 20:13, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the talk page for the bot it seems to be adding a ton of "bad" articles that have to be deleted, just wanted to give you an FYI. Robot gone amok! :) -- Atama^chat 18:01, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I ran it to create a load of Russian Geo stubs over 1 ½ months ago. I acknowledge it was bit of a bad move, as a lot of them aren't that notable and the articles aren't great.--Phoenix-wiki 20:04, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you...

...for your support in my recently closed Request for Adminship. I am more than a bit stunned by the outcome, which appears to have finished at 146 supports, no opposes, and one abstention. I am particularly grateful to Keilana and Kingboyk for their recent encouragement, and most specifically to Pastordavid, for having seen fit to nominate me. I also want to make it very clear to everyone that I have no intentions of changing my name again, so the servers should be safe for a while.

In the event you ever believe that I would ever able to assist in the future, I would be honored if you were to contact me regarding the matter. I can't guarantee results, unfortunately, but I will do what I can. Thank you again.

By the way, I know the image isn't necessarily appropriate, but I am rather fond of it, and it at least reflects the degree of honor I feel at the result. And it's hard to go wrong with a Picture of the Year candidate.

Now, off to a few last tasks before starting work in earnest on the various templates I promised I'd work on.

This RfA thanks inspired by Kathryn McDinaha's, in turn inspired by several others after Phaedriels' original. Hoping we can all keep such inspiration of newcomers ongoing, I am, sincerely, John Carter (talk).

Someone implied that this was a bad idea when I first starting sending them and implied that I should do what I said I would do, so I did stop sending them. That's why I didn't send it earlier. John Carter (talk) 20:22, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Would you like a nomination for adminship? I would be happy to nom. - Revolving Bugbear 21:04, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Seconded. John Carter (talk) 21:42, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for the offer, but I'm afraid I'll have to decline for now. I'm planning to go sometime in April when I'll have a better chance of passing. You can co-nominate then if you like. :)--Phoenix-wiki 22:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• [1] Rudget. 19:35, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We could set a record for the most ever co-noms in an RfA. Don't you feel loved, Phoenix? - Revolving Bugbear 19:52, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I think that grace should go to the forever remembered one. Although Daniel comes a close second with 8. :) Rudget. 19:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We have three months to find six more people who want to nom Phoenix ;) - Revolving Bugbear 19:59, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We could always get Wizardman...... :) Rudget. 20:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, well that's 5 offers including Maxim offering on IRC. Thanks a lot guys, but I still think I should hold off for a month or two more though.--Phoenix-wiki 20:09, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there.

Cheers. – Scartol • Tok 20:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I was planning on linking to it anyway, so thanks :-)--Phoenix-wiki 20:32, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A belated thank you for your RFA support!

In light of the opposes to my RfA, I have reconsidered my recall requirements. As you have opposed for this reason, I felt the need to inform you directly. -MBK₀₀₄ 01:47, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That editor is a likely SPA. I think that user is actually saying that when someone reverts work as shown here, they are reverting well referenced material...but I am not alone in the reverts of his well referenced info [2], [3]. The same arguments have been coming up for along time by multiple new accounts that appear and then disappear one after another. It's rather complex unless you are dealing with the 9/11 related articles and can see it happening all the time.--MONGO 14:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, I'm writing to inform you that I have withdrawn my request for adminship, which was currently standing at 11 supports, 22 opposes and 6 neutrals. This count could have been so much better if I had understood policy, although I believe that 17 questions is a lot to ask of a user's first RfA. I will take on all comments given at the RfA and will endeavour to meet the high expectations of the RfA voters. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN}^{play it cool.} 20:57, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

<sarcasm>Joy</sarcasm>. Thanks for letting me know buddy. What a shame. Particularly Rudget - seems very unfortunate and, to be honest, pointless. Pedro :  Chat  22:25, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

	<font=3> Thanks for your support, my request for adminship passed 60/0/0 yesterday! I want to thank Mrs.EasterBunny and Royalbroil for nominating me, those who updated the RfA tally, and everyone for their support and many kind words. To paraphrase a president ... I wish my mum and dad could see the comments made. My dad would be so proud to see the comments ... and my mum would have believed them". I will do my best to use the new tools carefully and responsibly (and you may be surprised to find that I have not deleted all of the pages by accident..... yet). Thanks again, Victuallers (talk) 20:51, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Phoenix-wiki/Archive for January 08, I wish to tender my thanks for your participation in my successful request for adminship, which ended with 37 supports, 2 opposes, and 2 neutral. The results of the RfA are extremely bittersweet because of the recent departure of my nominator, Rudget. Even though you did not support me, if you ever need anything, just get in touch. -MBK₀₀₄ 21:27, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You might to update that editcount userbox, seeing as you now have 4.5K+ according to Wannabe Kate's. (though I guess technically 4500 > 4100 ;) ) Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 21:06, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My effort to regain adminship was unsuccessful, and I'll do what I can to ensure your opinion of my suitability for adminship improves. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to voice your opinion.--MONGO 07:59, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
