Letting you know about deletion review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of James_M._Branum. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Jmbranum 00:06, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Deletion

The deletion of the article "Major league wiffle" shouldn't have occured. The article was still being finished. It addressed the need for physical activity in a youths life and you should attempt to repel the deletion. It promotes the fun of a backyard game instead of most kids just playing video games. Let the article be finished before you delete it. You might have the power, don't abuse it.

Thank You

My RfA

Thanks for the support on my RfA! I undertsand that there are a few concerns with my lack of edits, however I do plan on wkring on that, and reapplying in the future, as it appears this RfA will not go through. Wildthing61476 18:16, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe there was a clear consensus on how best to handle List of pronouncements of a critical period for the U.S. occupation of Iraq‎; several alternatives to deletion were being considered. Would you please reopen the discussion to allow the discussion to continue? I am asking you per the recommended procedure on WP:DP.--User At Work 21:47, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion: Anderson Farm article

Hello, I created an article on the Anderson Farm Museum in Lively, Ontario but it has been speedily deleted. I think it is a notable subject since the museum is a part of the Lively community. Please advise what I should have done in order for it to remain a real (albeit short) article. (I'm a Wiki-noob).

I noticed that you had communications with the author of the above on a similar article, High Court Express. My reaction to Udyog Nagari Express was either speedy or prod. Given your recent involment, maybe you could take a look at it. Thanks in advance. --Stormbay 01:17, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection

Per Talk:Batman, here's a few more from my watchlist that should probably be semi-protected indefinitely:

Thanks for the suggestion. I like that two admins are involved, for transparency resons, if nothing else. - jc37 20:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My Rfa

Hello, Walton. Thank you very much for your kind support in my recent Rfa, it succeeded! I hope to live up to your expectations. Feel free to yell at me if I ever screw things up =) Have a wonderful day! Yours, PeaceNT 06:33, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: RfA?

Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind words.

I was asked three or four times last fall if I would stand for RfA, and I declined because I knew there was so much I didn't yet know about this place. When you asked this time, I asked Samir to look over my history and give his candid opinion on the subject. He agrees with you and said he would co-nominate me, and I feel comfortable with the idea now... so let's do it!

It's Memorial Day weekend over here and this event has my undivided, rapt attention on Sunday, but hopefully I'll have read all the admin stuff and have my part of the process ready by the middle of next week. Now I shall go study at the pillar of the Five Pillars.

Should I let you know when I'm prepared or is there another procedure of which I'm unaware? Also, is it considered impolitic to notify the editors who asked me to stand for RfA in the past that I'm going to do it this time? I don't want to look like I'm canvassing because I would never do that, but I think they would like to know. Thanks again! - KrakatoaKatie 08:12, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Walton, it's my pleasure to co-nominate KrakatoaKatie! Thanks for setting up the RfA page and for your excellent nomination. I've added my co-nomination below -- Samir 18:39, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Walton – I've been a little under the weather (allergies) so I didn't get to work on the questions until yesterday, but I'm almost done now and should have it up in a few minutes. I'd appreciate it if you'd look it over and give your opinion first – Samir is going to do the same. It's odd how looking at that page suddenly gives me writer's block – you think you know how you'd answer a question until someone actually asks. Anyway, I'm almost ready. Let me know once you read it if I should change anything. KrakatoaKatie 20:03, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, my answers are up. Let me know what you think. Nearly Headless Nick is on my side. :-) KrakatoaKatie 20:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Survived afd. Doc Glasgow is now ignoring consensus. Please resolve. - Kittybrewster (talk)

My RFA

Many thanks for your support at my RFA. It ended successfully and I am now a glorified janitor. If I can be of any assistance please don't hesitate to contact me through my talk page. Happy editing! Ocatecir Talk 18:03, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Advice...

Could you give me some advice?
You see, approximately two months ago, I put in an RFA, viewable here. It was unsuccessful. Now, I've gained much more experience, and I was thinking or putting in a second RFA. Do you think I should? If you could, please leave your answer on my talk page. Thanks! -Billy227, review my account!! talk contribs sndbx usbx 20:01, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for aggressive supporting me in the RFA. I am grateful for your response, and it really means a lot to be appreciated. Thanks again! hmwithtalk 15:32, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My RFA

Updated DYK query You supported my candidacy in my recently completed request for adminship. The debated ended 40/4/1 and I'm now an administrator. I'd just like to say thanks for taking the time to consider me, and thanks for the confidence in me. I hope your confidence in me proves to be justified.

Regards, WilyD

RE: Jonjonbt's RFA

The premise (re: middle schoolers) that age shouldn't be a factor in RfAs doesn't hold water. Over and over again, in RfAs, you see the words "maturity" and "experience" raised, qualities seldom found in your average 11-14 year old. Nor do you see it in someone plainly wishing adminship with no other goal in mind than defending his pet article, and who recently vandalized the user page of another party in a content dispute. Beyond that, commentators in RfAs are in the business of judging the character, deportment and judgment of the nominees ... often on flimsy or knee-jerk grounds, generally with a shallow inquiry. I'm a lot more comfortable questioning someone's fitness to be an admin on the basis of maturity than I am on whether he or she has the "proper" number of edit summaries, the "proper" ratio of mainspace vs. Wikipedia edits, the "proper" number of anti-vandalism reverts, or whatever else happens to be the personal hobbyhorse of the editor passing judgment.  RGTraynor  19:35, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RfC

Just wanted to let you know that I opened an RfC on myself in response to the concerns raised during my RfA over my actions in the Gary Weiss dispute. The RfC is located here and I welcome any comments or questions you may have. CLA 12:46, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

British Royal Family Incidents

First of all I am not soliciting for comment on an Afd. There is a page Aaron Barschak going through Afd at the moment. Its most likely not going to survive. but I am thinking of re-writing that article and call it Aaron Barschak Incident, he'll possibly have more (we're not a crystal ball). It was notable for a while and still much in living memory (I'm not a troll of Afds - if I think I can add useful argument I do), as is Michael Fagan.

Can you think of any useful suggestions to add to a list of British Royal Family Incidents. I hate lists, and dont think they have a place outside of talk pages or sandbox. but it would help to group together a few articles together that I can write. Mike33 19:28, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply, I'll send you a sandbox draft link in the next week. I don't like lists (too vague and potentailly endless), so I hope to create an article that briefly sums up 10 or so notable royal family incidents. I can't think that another Princess Diana mention would be appropriate to any article, but useful in a related link section. Happy Birthday :-) On my 18th I think I was too drunk to speak never mind type! Kind regards Mike33 23:04, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Birthday!

The Wikipedia Birthday Committee wishes you a very happy birthday! Enjoy your special day.

Re:Your RfA...

Thanks so much for your support. I really hope it passes, obviously, but, if they believe I'm not ready, then, maybe, I'm not ready. I appreciate your willingness to nominate me the next time around, and I might take up that offer.

Also...

Happy 18th birthday, Walton! I hope that you have a wonderful day! Cheers! hmwithtalk 17:06, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's party time!
Wow! Happy birthday to you! I hope you really enjoy your special birthday, Walton, and wish you good things in the year on the way... Peacent 17:17, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Birthday!

Dear Walton, I have never talked with you, but I heard it was your birthday! Congrats! May God grant you your hopes and dreams, and may he always watch over you! Wishes! --wpktsfs 20:11, 3 June 2007 (UTC) [reply]

Happy birthday, dear Walton!

On your day, I wish for you
Favorite people to embrace,
Loving smiles and caring looks
That earthly gifts cannot replace.

I wish you fine and simple pleasures.
I wish you many years of laughter.
I wish you all of life's best treasures.
I wish you happily ever after!

Happy birthday, dear Walton!

YechielMan's RFA

Thank you for participating in either of my unsuccessful requests for adminship. Although the experience was frustrating, it showed me some mistakes I was making, and I hope to learn from those mistakes.

Please take a few minutes to read User:YechielMan/Other stuff/RFA review and advise me how to proceed. Best regards. YechielMan 21:25, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA ...

Hi. Thanks for supporting my request for adminship. It was successful and I am now an admin. If I can ever be of help, please let me know. Cheers, Black Falcon (Talk) 06:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Monte Ne

Hi, you posted an opinion peer review for the Monte Ne article. Since then the article has gone through considerable revision. Would you mind please taking a look at it at the article once more and leaving a new comment in the FA nomination that is going on right now. Thank you.--The_stuart 22:13, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Award

Thank you, Walton. That's extremely kind of you. Have a beautiful day :) Sincerely, Peacent 08:41, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So that's what the delete button looks like...

I'm an admin! I'll send out another note in HTML later this weekend, but I wanted to tell you and Samir first. Thanks so much for your support and for giving me a final push! You rock! :-) - KrakatoaKatie 17:21, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RfA Thanks


File:Hersfold.JPG Thanks...
Thank you for showing your support in my recent RfA. Unfortunately, consensus was not really going my way, so I decided to withdraw my self-nomination last night. The final vote tally was (15/7/10). Your support does mean a lot to me, and I will certainly let you know when I go for my next RfA, most likely in a few month's time. Thank you again, and happy editing!

Happy Walton day! Is this Walton Liverpool or On the Naze Essex? Or your surname. Two celebrations within a week is just too wikilove. But happy Walton day Mike33 15:09, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya. You made, IMHO, a rather odd statement supporting a candidate on the premise that "not needing the tools" doesn't matter. I have also supported the candidate but challenged your logic within the RfA. Please don't take this badly at all, I'm just triying to clarify a seemingly odd statement for other editors viewing and commenting on the RfA - Cheers! Pedro |  Chat  20:15, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya Walton. Cheers - I've added a comment at the RfA to thank yourself and TwoOars for the clarification. Pedro |  Chat  20:34, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA :)

Thank you, Walton, 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) 17:04, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Mr. Walton! :)

Yes, I got your email, my dearest Walton - and you have one now too! ;) Love, Phaedriel - 08:49, 11 June 2007 (UTC) [reply]

re: Sorry

Walton, you certainly don't need to apologise to me, after all I'm not a target of WR. And I guess the mistake could happen to anyone. Best regards, —AldeBaer 16:51, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I didn't understand it as a "statement in favour of links to attack sites", I know you acted in perfectly good faith for what appeared to be good reasons. No harm done, just a minor correction between two users who trust each other. —AldeBaer 17:02, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Hey, thanks. I haven't been {{smile}}d at before, IIRC. :D —AldeBaer 17:05, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
