Sorry about overwriting your comment

Hi Rory, very sorry I accidentally overwrote your comment on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Get it pumped. Not my intention at all. Thanks for cleaning it up and fighting the good fight against the vandals. Best, Gwernol 23:30, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I was more upset that you didn't subst the unsigned tag, actually.  ;-) --Rory096 23:31, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

:-) Indeed. You know I've got pretty good at subst-ing the vandal warning templates, but for some reason it never occurred to me to subst:unsigned. Now you mention it, its completely obvious. Thanks for pointing this out to me. Best, Gwernol 23:35, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Adminship

Hi, since we're passing messages back and forward... have you considered applying to be an admin? If/when you're interested I'd be honored to nominate you for an RfA. I've been very impressed with your work as editor and vandal fighter. Best, Gwernol 23:43, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I've only been active since late January, so I doubt I'd accept a nom for another couple of months (plus I won't be on the internet for 7 weeks this summer). How about you? I was going to find your RfA to see how long you had been on WP when you became an admin and... it wasn't there. (Template:RFA cliche1 anyone?) --Rory096 23:55, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

That makes sense to me. I think you're wise to wait another month or two, particularly given some of the recent RfAs. After that I expect you'd sail through, and I'd be happy to nominate you then (assuming you don't go Squidward or something :-). I'm pretty much in the same position. Although I've been active for a while now, I'm still learning and I want to get another couple of months under my belt before I feel comfortable trying it. Let me know when you're ready to try.

Hmm, Rory, I think you should probably try for an adminship soon. You've been here almost three months, have a massive editcount, and seem like an all around decent guy. And that you will eventually miss a period of editing is not really that relevant. It isn't like there are a limited number of adminships. JoshuaZ 00:03, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

I, too, of course, would be pleased to support your RfA, but I think Gwernol is likely right that, given the disposition of some RfA voters of late, waiting another month or two might be advised; I can't imagine any non-temporal concerns one could posit. Joe 05:01, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism tag at User talk:DV8 2XL

Please refrain from sticking vandalism templates on users' pages unless they're actually committing vandalism. If someone who appears otherwise to be a positive contributor takes an action that you disagree with, please assume good faith and _talk_ to them about it. --Christopher Thomas 05:55, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

An action that I disagree with? How am I supposed to know it's not vandalism when a user blanks a page and redirects it to a disambig without an edit summary? I don't investigate every user I warn to see if they might be in good standing. --Rory096 06:03, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

_I_ do investigate users before sticking vandalism templates on their pages. Even when they're IP addresses. It takes two clicks and, when vandalism is present, flags other articles that need reversion, so I don't see why it's an imposition to expect it. --Christopher Thomas 06:08, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
