I might know what you're thinking, although if I'm not, never mind. ;) Although a few more (main) edits would probably be well-recieved. —  $PЯINGεrαgђ  02:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Man I'm sorry

I'm sure you'll become an admin once you get around 1000 article edits. You're a great editor, all the same. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 20:54, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't take part in every RfA, so I'm sorry to see yours fail due to something so petty. I watch the RfAs, even though I don't always comment, so I'll participate again if you decide to make another try at it in the future. Sxeptomaniac 22:12, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all! Bit of a bummer, that, but you will make a good admin when it eventually happens. All the best, and I hope we don't have to wait too long to see your name

Just do alot of maintenance/cleanup of articles, particulary on Special:Newpages (help newbies out!), and learn to use the tags.--Andeh 20:15, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, writing great articles doesn't automatically make a user a qualified admin (as some believe) *rolls eyes*.--Andeh 20:22, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

congrats and condolences

Yep, same here hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 01:20, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the RfA, I really thought that you were going to make it... I hope that this does not discourage you, and that you may try again in the near future. I'm sure that you will find even more supporters then. Best regards.--Húsönd 02:40, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, Halo, you will never let me down; you will just continue to impress me. Keep being the awesome person that you are, and next time I'm sure everyone will realise what a great job you will do. I have confidence, and so should you! -- Natalya 04:23, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

from Storkk too

I couldn't agree more. Nice to see someone big enough to not chuck it in after a failed RFA. "Class" is exactly the right word. I took the same position as Stork and Blnguyen: rack up the article edits and I'll be delighted to support next time round. Cheers, Moreschi 13:53, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am very sorry to know that your RfA has failed. I am sure you deserve more than that and that being a very good editor like yourselves is more important to us than being a good admin. -- Szvest 14:12, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, rather unlucky.

Hope you are feeling OK after experiencing the recent failure of your RfA. Although I added neutral support in your nomination page, this was acted upon in good faith. I completely understand how you feel as I have gone through the same heart-wrenching feeling three times here! Anyway, do not lose heart and continue editing brilliantly on this project. I am sure you (as well as myself) will become an admin in the future! Just do not lose hope and fight on! --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 16:08, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will be ready to support your next time. Best of luck, and happy editing! --Merovingian - Talk 18:11, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about your RfAYeah, I started a new section. Sosumi. :)

Just a note to say that I'm really sorry your RfA was unsuccessful. I honestly do believe that you have a lot of potential, as clichéd as it may sound, and that you'd do damn well as an administrator. It's very unfortunate that you had to deal with this crap, but I suppose there's nothing much that can be done about that.

Don't let this discourage you, though. You're well on the road to being an admin, and now you have 32 oppose votes' (well... 31) worth of feedback for you to work on for next time. Good luck, and happy editing!

Sorry

P.P.S. I really like the way you personally replied to each of the people who voted in your RfA with a unique comment. It must have taken some time & shows how nice a person you are. -

Argh, sorry man... really think you would have done a great job. Keep up the good work that you're doing, work with the constructive suggestions on the RfA, and I'm sure that the next go will pass without a problem. Take care -- Samir धर्म 22:50, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, The_Halo, and thanks for supporting me in my recent request for adminship, which succeeded with a final tally of 70/4/4. I hope I can live up to your expectations, and if there's ever anything you need, you know where to find me! --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 00:24, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for participating in my RfA, which closed successfully earlier today with a result of (60/9/4).

thank you, and sorryHi The Halo (that sounds awkward), thank you very much for your welcoming words. I really appreciate them. I also want to express my condolences that your RfA failed. I do think that you would be a trustworthy administrator, but I also feel that admins should have considerable experience in writing (and not just reverting) articles, so that they can see how articles are collaborated on, edit wars take place, etc. I think I might have said this all before.

Totally off topic, but do you have any idea how Phaedriel is? She has been gone for quite some time, and I'm getting a bit concerned. I really hope that she isn't feeling the way I did and still sometimes do. --Kyoko 20:46, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for supporting me in the September Advisory Council Esperanza elections. Although I wasn't elected to the Advisory Council, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was shocked at the support, and was touched by it. Hopefully I will re-apply in March and try again for the job. Thanks again, Highway ^Daytrippers 23:46, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know I should be assuming good faith, but it just seems odd. A candidate who has already voted for people earlier in the election, votes for a candidate who is tying for the last seat, in the last minute of the election? Highway ^Daytrippers 10:35, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thanks from StuffOfInterest

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which finished with a tally of 52/6/1 (~90%). It was an interesting process which gave me a chance to learn a bit about myself and about the community. My intention now is to slowly ease into using those additional buttons on my page. No use being over eager and mucking up the works. The support of all those who went over my record and/or rallied to my defense after the big oppose vote was instumental to the success of this review. Again, thank you! --StuffOfInterest 12:12, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Flinders is really great too - obviously I don't know much about the arty side of the uni, but I've seen a few of their productions, and they're really good.
