Sustainable development portal

Hi Nishkid64. For some reason, I'm getting virtually no action at Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Sustainable development. Would you be willing to take a look and weigh in on the nomination? Thanks, RichardF 12:38, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! :-) RichardF 00:36, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your sig

I noticed your sig over on WT:RFA, and realized that it could be modified slightly.

Old sig: Nishkid64 (talk)

"New" sig: Nishkid64 (talk)

Just a little less code (134 characters vs. 141 characters), and it drops the font tag entirely (which has been depreciated with the rise of XHTML and CSS).

Feel free to completely ignore this; I'm just a major advocate for compressing code where possible, and dropping font tags anywhere on the site that I find them. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:25, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

talk page

I am well aware of the full consequence of my actions and my behavior. Until people want to stick to the content and not spam my talk page with useless requests, I will blank that page. In the meantime, in an attempt to actually focus on the merits of the site itself, i started a new topic here. That aside, I have removed the site from athletes in the Baseball hall of fame and on the Kevin Youkilis page. I spent a great deal of time reworking the article and that site was not in the EL section before that rework. Any more discussion should take place on the topic that i started. Regards //Tecmobowl 16:45, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Forgot to mention that I have also removed it from a handful of baseball players pages, in the meantime, there are still over 100 examples of the site in use at wiki. I believe I am being more than reasonable here.//Tecmobowl 17:14, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Excuse me, but you have done nothing to help the situation. I am shocked to see this from an admin. This is the third or fourth action from an admin that i have seen that leaves me scratching my head as to how in the heck admins are given out. Have you seen how many edits he has made to my talk page? Have you looked at the reverts he has engaged in? He reverts edits simply on the merit that he wants a site included in the EL section, a site he is the main supporter of. I don't remember which at the top of my head, but one of them even included two links to the same page. Instead of engaging in a discussion focussed on the content of the site, he leaves messages in numerous places and starts discussions on project pages that are more directed at me than the content. You want to fix the problem, then do something about it. Otherwise, I don't know what you expect from me. //Tecmobowl

My RfA :)

Thank you, Nishkid, for commenting on my RfA, which closed successfully with a tally of 76/0/1! I hope I will meet your expectations, and be sure I will continue trying to be a good editor as well as a good administrator :) If I may be of any assistance to you in the future (or if you see me commit some grievous error :), please drop me a line on my Talk page.

Again, thank you, and happy editing! Fvasconcellos (t·c) 17:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again for your very on-topic and relevant question. I hope I can use the tools wisely! Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 17:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tecmobowl

Hi. I left this note on Tecmobowl's talk page and, as you can see, removed your comment. I did this because I thought that it was likely that my note Epeefleche's talk page (exactly the same message) would make him look at Tecmobowl's talk page - and that the AIV posting might cause a very negative reaction, making dispute resolution more difficult. Hope this makes sense, and is OK with you. Cheers TigerShark 17:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nishkid64 - Please look at Tigersharks actions here...this is the essence of constructive progress. Epeefleche's actions have been ridiculous. I will continue to be bold in my editing of wiki. Until people can respond with reason, I will continue to act in the way that i do. I have left messages with the cabal on their talk page and tried to move the discussion toward the topic at hand. I appreciate your efforts, but let's stick to the content and not the people involved. //Tecmobowl 18:07, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hey, thanks for the DYK tip. To be honest, that discussion was so spread out and disjointed, that I have no idea what came out of it. I left the link on over 100 articles, so I think my actions have been reasonably fair. I am going to keep it out of HOF articles, significant players, and Kevin Youkilis (for reasons mentioned), until there is a good solid discussion. I am not going to expunge it from all of wiki, although that's what I'd like to do. Those are the only articles I am going to keep it out of. It wouldn't hurt if the other user simply kept out the disputed information rather than reverting entire edits, but that doesn't seem likely so I'll just keep on trucking. //Tecmobowl 18:24, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Rfa Sinks

Yes. I look back on the Rfa... Such a spur of the moment choice! A mistake for me, at the moment. I did it on a whim, an ineffable high... But it doesnt matter. It should close now. If you could do that for me, it would be much appreciated. And, as for your opinion? -- do you think my final examination at the end there was in the right direction? Any advice you could give me, at all? It would be greatly appreciated from an experienced admin such as yourself. Thanks again, Anonymous Dissident Utter 23:50, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've handled everything. As for your RfA, your final examination was correct. Speedy deletion tagging is always a problem, and if you make mistakes, it will come back and bite you in the butt (it's actually happened to one my RfA nominees). Anyway, I think you need to examine speedy deletion more carefully, and also analyze the criteria again. Remember, if there's any assertion of notability, either leave it alone, prod it or send it to AfD. I think it was your over-hasty tagging that resulted in the opposition for your RfA. Nishkid64 (talk) 23:58, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a million. Your advice is basically what I garnered from the opposes. So ironic -- I did all of that new page patrolling to get my mainspace count a bit higher at the last minute, and it becomes the catalyst for my RFA's undoing! :p

Oh well, I guess there is always next time. Anonymous Dissident Utter 00:00, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

Hey. I'm Xihix from RSC, and I think its cool to have a Wikipedia admin on the site! Thanks a lot for what you've done for this great site :) Xihix 02:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Response

Yeah, I understand what you were saying. But the quanity of edits is a factor. I'm not saying it's the most important one but it is still important. RuneWiki777 21:06, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quantity matters sometimes, but when we cite edit counts, we are trying to elaborate why we do not think a particular user is experienced enough for adminship. Edit count sometimes correlates to experience, but that's not always true. For example, see SirFozzie's RfA. He has a very low mainspace edit total, yet he's getting unanimous support, even from me. I usually oppose people based on inexperience, and I use editcounts sometimes to make a judgment call (but usually it's more of an evaluation of the editor's contributions that I look at). Also, see WP:EDITCOUNT. Nishkid64 (talk) 21:16, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Warn boxes

Can I copy that box into my user-talk page for my usage, or is warning a admin-only deal? AgentFade2Black 21:43, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to use the warning boxes. Warnings can be issued by anyone on Wikipedia. Good luck, Nishkid64 (talk) 22:48, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
