Talk

If you'd like to add a comment, feel free. Just click the + button next to "Edit this page" above (may vary if you're using a custom skin). But please type ~~~~ at the end to add your name and the date and time.

Note that problems which any administrator could resolve are best posted on one of the various administrators' noticeboards.

Protection and unprotection

If you have the capability to unprotect something, I trust you to determine whether a page I protected should be unprotected or not. No need to ask.

RFA messages

• If you've been promoted, congratulations, now go and patrol Special:Newpages or something. No need to leave me a message here, I participate in many RFAs so it would probably only clog the place up.
• If your nomination failed, or I opposed you, then I hope you've taken on board what you've learned. If you want clarification or advice from me, please feel free to leave a message, but otherwise there is no need.
• That is to say, please do not leave me RFA messages, unless you need a response. They will be removed. Thank you.

Email

I would much prefer you leave me a message here rather than emailing me. If you are blocked, then obviously you can't. If I blocked you, then email me (see the toolbox), but if some other admin blocked you, email that admin instead. (See Special:Log/block for more.) If the block was for violating the three-revert rule, and you are going to claim you were reverting vandalism, then first read what vandalism is not and an admin's view of the 3RR.

Linking

If your message is about an article, an AFD, or the like, please link to it. To do this, copy the main heading at the top of the page (like User talk:Stifle for this page) and paste it between ].

Replies

• Please reply to me here if possible.
• If your message is about an AFD or other discussion that you want me to (re)contribute to, I will generally not reply other than by checking the page and adding a comment.
• Unless your message or your talk page advises otherwise, I will reply here and copy my reply to your talk page.

Archiving

I archive this page semi-regularly, mainly when it gets over 32KB or we get a new month. The exception is posts which I consider personal attacks or incivil or the like, which may get selectively archived faster.

Thanks for your message.

I'm a little unsure as to why you're sending this to me. If you want to add a verifiable article about a notable person, just create an account and follow the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Your first article. If you just want to add something to an existing article, then click the Edit tab or link in the article and go for it. Stifle (talk) 10:02, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Characters of Firefly

Recently you contibuted to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Derrial Book. There is now an ongoing discussion stemming from that AfD here if you wish to contribute. ]

ArbCom elections

Hi Stifle. Thanks for your opinion. You said that 'Late registration seems suspicious'. I must say that i totally disgree w/ that picture. As i said on my statement, i've been setting up my own business and the process is almost at its end and that's why i've had limited time here. Also, i've been consulting the nomination issue w/ many users and admins (it was a request from 2 admins in fact to convince me to nominate myself). The decision was taken at the last minute for the above 2 reasons and there was no conspiracy. I really dream of the day where WP:AGF becomes the rule instead of an exception. Thanks in advance. -- FayssalF - 15:33, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
