Nehrams2020 RfA Thanks

Thank you for your participation in my RfA, which closed successfully with unanimous support. I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and vote and I can't wait to learn the new tools and further immerse myself into Wikipedia! Please don't hesitate to point out any errors I make so I can prevent them from occurring again. I'm always here to help, so if you ever need anything, just let me know. Also, thanks to Wizardman for nominating me and for guiding many other editors to become admins. Again, thank you and happy editing! --Nehrams2020 06:19, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about it, I appreciate the thought. Thanks for letting me do my first deletions on your subpages! I deleted the three pages very cautiously to make sure I didn't accidentally delete Wikipedia itself, but I guess I did something right since it's still here. If you need similar help in the future, just let me know. --Nehrams2020 07:36, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa, whoa, do not do that! You scared the heck out of me. Now I need to go to sleep to slow down my heart rate. Don't make me learn how to block people by testing it on you. Just kidding, using your pages for deletion practice was good enough for me. Thanks again for the fun and good night/morning! --Nehrams2020 07:43, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your RfA (1)

Please do not take the way it is going too much to heart. Please stick in there and you will become an admin some day. It really is no big deal being an admin and you can do good work for wikipedia without being one. Good luck. --Bduke 06:49, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't mean to be a pain, but do you mind if I remove the Sydney Opera House from the Selected images? It's already a selected article using the same image, and the caption is the same, and it would help the portal if we varied the content. Sebi _[talk] 05:50, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edokter RfA

Dear Dihydrogen Monoxide,

Thank you for your participation in my Request for Adminship, which ended succesfully with 26 supports, 3 opposes and 1 neutral. A special thanks goes to Rlevse for nominating me. I apprwciate all the support and constructive criticism offered in my RfA. Please do not hesitate to point out any errors I will make (unintentionally of course), so I won't make them again. Please contact me if you need anything done, that's what I'm here for!

3000 edits is not enough?

Re your comments on Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Edokter. 3000 edits is not enough?

Wow!

Once upon a time when I was regularly participating in RFA, I *would* actually review a person's edit history, often looking at almost every edit. Not enough edit summary usage? Get away! If many edits had no summary, I'd actually go to this person and ask them to explain what was up. After reading each edit, if I hadn't found what I was looking for (no examples of how they deal with conflicts especially, but also quality of their writing, and tone on talk pages), I'd make a comment stating so, and requesting them to make some more edits.

After about 750-1500 edits, people usually showed what it took, and that takes an hour or two to check (provided there are decent edit summaries). More just takes way too much of my time, hence my lack of participation in RFAs these days.

Of course, if a user has few edits, I might still participate, do a full check and find out if a candidate is decent, but what's the point if people go "Oppose, come back at 5000 edits and 6 months"? I can promise I don't have the time to check those 5000 edits at that point in time. :-/

So do I take it that you actually are very dedicated, and actually are willing to spend half a day or more sifting through people's edits? Or does your statement have other grounds?

I'm curious! :-)

Re: Poke

Hi! Thanks for the poke, haha. I wanted to wait until I was well, and then, as soon as that happened, I had to move down to school. Today was actually my third day of classes, but I think I can handle the RfA at this time, but might not be able to respond hourly or anything. I'm about to put it up today. =) And nope, no section links. With the way my page is formatted (the archive part), the edit links showed up incorrectly. For example, to edit the "*pokes*" section, you'd have to click the edit button for "Hoop Guy....". Tricky. hmwith talk 19:05, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA review

It would seem that Irpen has taken on unilaterally removing the GA tags from Denial of Soviet occupation, which you reviewed for WP:GAC, apparently based on nothing more than his dislike of the subject matter. (Diffs: [1], [2], [3].)

What's the appropriate approach to solve this kind of vandalism problem? Διγυρεν_{Εμπροσ!} 22:26, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I checked; the article appears to be still listed. It would seem Irpen only removed the tag, not other aspects of WP:GA listing.

Coming back to the subject of article quality, I believe I've made further progress, by heeding your suggestions for improvement. Thanks! Διγυρεν_{Εμπροσ!} 23:13, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it's getting better. I've watchlisted the talk page for this debate, also added comments there. We'll see where it goes. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 05:18, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Schafer House and others

Hi I just recently noticed your proposed deletion of the UCL accomodation articles. I agree in retrospect that the individual buildings do not warrant their own article and so deletion/merging is a good idea. However it would be nice if in future deletions etc you could nominate the creator of the article (in these examples me). It is considered courtesy to nominate the articles key contributors and creator when proposing an afd. As it happens I am not able to comment on the schafer house article, ergo its pointless me commenting on the other two ucl residences. Next time please let the creator known when you nominate for afd. Many thanks. LordHarris 12:26, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem mate

Hey Alex, It's no problem mate. Thanks for the barnstar, I really do appreciate it. I've got gmail/facebook (I'm movin' up!) and I'll send you an e-mail. If I get around to it. Here's one more, of how an edior should be (in my mind)

“

I tread the path of Righteousness. Though it be paved with broken glass, I shall walk it barefoot; though it crosses rivers of fire, I will pass over them; though it wanders wide, the light of the Emperor guides my step.

”

And this one 'casue I'm a nerd.

“

If I were a proper brother-captain, I would know the prayer we are supposed to say. But I think you all know what we have to do. We do not know what our chances of survival are, so we fight as if they were zero. We do not know what we are facing, so we fight as if it was the dark gods themselves. No one will remember us now and we may never be buried beneath Titan, so we will build our own memorial here. The Chapter might lose us and the Imperium might never know we existed, but the Enemy - the Enemy will know. The Enemy will remember. We will hurt it so bad that it will never forget us until the stars burn out and the Emperor vanquishes it at the end of time. When Chaos is dying, its last thought will be of us. That is our memorial - carved into the heart of Chaos. We cannot lose, Grey Knights. We have already won."

~Acting-Brother-captain Alaric of the Grey Knights.

Your RfA (3)

Your RfA is highly polarized. I see this as a good thing. You have more supports than I had, and twice the turnout. It shows less about you as a candidate and more about the process and the major tweaks that will hopefully follow. It's always said as humans, we have a pathetically short-term memory and are altogether too forgiving. This, of course, was said long before there was born the Request for Administration. the_undertow ^talk 05:31, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry for the recent change in events, but I am highly shocked by the recent revelation. This isn't to say I've turned, but I certainly am interested in an explanation considering (as you know) GA is where almost all of my participation lies and I'm exhausting myself in the endeavor of improving the project and ensuring quality. In looking over the article, I'm not at all impressed. Several things are brought into question for me, and I feel further review is necessary. For that reason, I'm noming the article at GAR. Again, I'm sorry. While friends are great on Wikipedia, I can't give special treatment, and I hope you wouldn't expect it from me. The project is why I'm here, and that's what comes first. Lara Love 07:22, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By way of remark, the "recent revelation" entails baseless accusations by Irpen. Whomever it may concern, ask me for details.

It may be relevant that while I had been paying some attention to Dihydrogen Monoxide's progress, and previous RfAs, there was no communication whatsoever between me and him before the day before yesterday, and this "meeting" happened by pure chance. I understand your concern regarding friendship's potential risk to compromise the review work, but there is no such risk in this case. Διγυρεν_{Εμπροσ!} 08:34, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A request

Hi there, "Water". On the assumption that both you and Digwuren would be glad of clarification of the claims made by Irpen, I'm asking you if I may quote a line or two by you from the IRC discussion you and Digwuren had of GA reviews on #wikipedia. This would be in the context of offering some evidence in the Request for arbitration/Digwuren. I'm not interested in quoting whole dialogues, but merely a few rather bland words by you. I could tell you exactly what words by e-mail, if you like. Best wishes and sorry about the RFA. You-know-who, who is a lot bigger than either you or me, sends her regards.

Your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Order of the Phoenix (organisation)

As you may be aware, your closure of the AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Order of the Phoenix (organisation) was challenged at Deletion Review. See Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 September 23. The outcome was ultimately endorsed by a consensus of contributors but there was concern that despite the numbers in the AfD, consensus was not truly clear enough for a non-admin closure. You may want to briefly review the discussion so as to hone your skills as an interpreter of AfD discussions. Eluchil404 07:02, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't take it hard mate, just give it till after Christmas (unless someone else nominates you). That gives you three solid months to busy yourself with other types of edits and put your head down, arse up and work on improving yourself as an editor so that you receive much less resistance. Mind you, this is coming from a guy who wants nothing less than being an admin/beaurocrat/checkpage guy. But I can see why you want it, but patience will pay off, I assure you. On the plus side, RfA is a lot more indicative of your position than Editor review, as more people respond than at ER. Good luck next time and (unless you really step on my toes or degrade your quality as an editor and community member) I'm still going to be there with my thumbs up for you next time. --linca ^linca 05:28, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Creating a lousy article on a neologism is not blockworthy. Creating a hoax article (did you READ that piece of garbage?), however, most definitely is. Especially if the username indicates b-tard/4channery. DS 03:24, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the content of the page the user created, I think DS's judgment was completely sound -- this wasn't a neologism, it was a clear hoax with a malicious nature, and it's clear that this user was only here to disrupt the project. --krimpet⟲ 03:26, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
