RE:DYK thx

Thanks a lot! But maybe some Admin should remove the word (pictured) from the hook, because it has been published without picture... ;-) Thanks again, Alex2006 (talk) 15:14, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Frauenfriedenskirche

Thanks. It's an odd building, isn't it? I'm a bit disappointed that my updated translation of Brick Expressionism didn't make it to DYK, as it's one of my current favourites. Wp seems fairly poor on European modern architecture, so far... athinaios | Talk 15:52, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DYK on a Waffle

Thanks again for the recent updates. I addition to writing hooks for my new articles, I have truly enjoyed rummaging through the list of bot-detected new articles and writing hooks for articles that deserve the additional attention they get from appearing on the main page. Thanks to you for all of your contributions and for the janitorial responsibilities of selecting and posting DYK items. Alansohn (talk) 16:31, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your welcome Alan .... although it is a number of peoplw who make DYK work .... you can select other peoples hooks for next update... admins are requireed only to do the copy to the main page you joust need to make sure the hooks and articles are ok by dyk and wiki rules. Nomming is good as it thrills editors who think no one has read their article Victuallers (talk) 16:40, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had started rummaging through the bot-listed articles and I was amazed at how many really good articles are being created for which a truly-worthwhile to read hook could be written. It astounds me how many have made it through to the DYK box on the main page. I still make a mistake now and then, but now that I think that I understand the rules, I check the article size, make sure that the hook is reliably sourced, verify the length of the hook and add it in, with very few errors detected by your fellow DYK crew. Thanks again! Alansohn (talk) 16:50, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question about Victoriatown

I have done a major overhaul of the above article. I'm wondering if you could take a look at it, and see if I've expanded it enough to qualify for a 19 January nomination as an expansion at DYK? -- Bellwether ^B _C 04:06, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't do it until much later today (early tomorrow UTC), as I have a birthday thing for my nephew (five years old today!) that will last all day. If you have time to work on it, that would be great, but if not, I'll take a look when I get home this evening. Thanks, and best regards, -- Bellwether ^B _C 13:58, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you remove the book cover image? I think that the fact that an award-winning novel was set in Goose Village is important, and the book cover is used in the "In popular culture" section to illustrate the importance of the book being set in the village. -- Bellwether ^B _C 03:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While I don't necessarily agree with the article being too "image heavy", in retrospect, I can see how the book cover might make it feel a bit cluttered. As for the bus driver information, it's included in the "history" section, is referenced, and illuminates the human past of the town. This was my reasoning in putting it in the article. Were you just feeling like it felt dropped in or something? I don't think it's absolutely essential for the article, but I like the information in the article for the "human past" reason I mentioned above. Can you think of maybe a better place to include it in the article? -- Bellwether ^B _C 15:51, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

congratulations

A consensus has been reached by your peers that you should be an admin. I have made it so. Please review Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list and keep up the great work. Sincerely, Kingturtle (talk) 18:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I add my sincere congratulations. -- Bellwether ^B_C 18:31, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, that went real well! I think that doing Wikipedia:New admin school should be a required exercise. It's not, so I strongly urge you to do the practice exercises. Let me know if you want directions or help with updating DYK. Congratulations on your new mop! Royalbroil 19:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - You might want to add {{Administrator}} to your user page. It puts the little mop in the upper right hand corner. It's actually time to do a DYK update right now if you're interested. Royalbroil 22:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Congratulations! I hope you enjoy wielding your new 'sword' and have fun with all the tools. Dahliarose (talk) 23:08, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - Congratulations from me, too. If you decide to start putting some stick about, you might like to remember what was said of Frederick Temple "A beast, but a just beast". Xn4 04:00, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations!

Congratulations on becoming an admin! :) Tom H (talk) 21:52, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And I almost forgot to add my support. It allowed you to reach 60, which is better than in the 50's! Mrs.EasterBunny (talk) 23:23, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

About your RfA

Congratulations on your successful request for adminship. I am glad you passed, and you are welcome for the support. For information on using your new tools, see the school for new admins; you will find it very useful. Good luck! Acalamari 22:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I send my congratulations as well. Enjoy your new tools. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 22:37, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, and by the way "i found the bucket!!" hurray! Tiptoety ^talk 22:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats (even though you often beat me to awarding the 25 DYK medal!) I think you'll do a great job! Also meant to mention in the RfA how much I love the clicky images you do. The map was a great addition to Queluz National Palace. Keep up the good work! --JayHenry (talk) 00:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats on your adminship, some would say you "won" by a landslide! 0 opposes and 0 neutrals! Well Done! -- The Helpful One ^(Talk)^{(Contribs) (Review)} 08:00, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sydney Girls High School references

Hi there. I agree that we should make articles look as good as possible, but unreferenced and refimprove tags aren't intended only to inform readers that there are not any/enough references. Adding these tags to an article adds that page to a category showing that it needs additional references, and it helps other users to know which articles need work on references. For more details, see here, here or here. For now, I'll put the refimprove tag back on the article. Feel free to contact me on my talk page. Cheers, Cdlw93 (talk) 21:46, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
