| Hi FT. While we have never directly engaged in dialogue, I've seen your hard work against vandalism, and I truly believe that you would have made a great administrator, hence my immediate support of your RfA. If it makes a difference, I agree with several of the other editors in that the way you were treated was unjust. From the beginning, I truly believe it was a witch hunt. You were given minimal time to defend yourself before succumbing to the calls to give up your adminship. I stand as one of the editors that watched in horror as this situation escalated, eventually forcing you to retire from editing. While i remain seriously disappointed with the wikipedia community, I want you to know that you still have friends among the editors, and that we support you now, more than ever, after the way you handled this situation.

| This experience will develop your insight in a much more profound way than they teach in any school. You'll develop a deeper understanding of tragic stories and real life events – a consistent theme being how in mature organisations special interests go to great lengths to oppose promotion for thoose rare folk with a strong universal concern for helping others, especially those for whom good takes precedence over adherence to any abstract set of principles. Unless you're operating in a backwater far removed from self serving power plays , one of the few times its beneficial to have an openly good and self confident nature is in a crises. In times of crises such people can have a huge influence on events, both by leading from the front or by advising those already in high office. This holds true at all levels, all the way up to the most effective way of helping those who are struggling in life on the global scale, which is influencing economic policy. A specific example I could point to relates to the global response to the credit crunch , a few people not entirely dissimilar to yourself were able to highlight to policy makers the rare opportunity they had for fiscal socialism, and this was before the Lehman collapse which sent the markets into meltdown mode , a time where the senior consensus was still strongly free market influences , so much so that the Financial Times described the switch to the managed economy as a "stunning reversal of the orthodoxy of the past several decades". Perhaps Im making too much of this as Im gutted about whats happened, but maybe God wanted you to have this experience to give you the wisdom to do more good in other arenas later in life. | |||

| Of course , the witch-hunt / self serving opposition motivations are only part of the picture. Were it just those , Im sure youd still be a happy toasting admin – the community here is healthy enough for that. It was our misfortune that your RfA attracted multiple consilient lines of opposition. Some motivated by genuine concern for the encyclopaedia such as the copyright issue. Then theres the political fall out from past events. Also as for some "adminship is no big deal" seems to be an empty phrase , they seem to regard promotion as a badge of honour which should only be awarded to outstanding content builders, whereas in reality the tools detract from ones ability to do the most rewarding stuff here as youre expected to spend more wiki time mopping up – tools should only be a big deal to those who want to help out in that way. | |||

You've done such great work here, and helped so many others become better Wikipedians, and better people. Just letting you know that you are not forgotten, and you were, and hopefully are, a cherished asset to the project. Hope to see an all gala affair in the near future, as FT considers a return to family. Let me know, and I'll be the first to roll out the red carpet!

| tldr coming up here. I've started and canceled this post at least a dozen times over the last couple days FT. I was honestly shocked and honored that you took the time to support my RfA ... but that's not really the reason I'm here. I admit, I truly had a lump in my throat when I read your words - and it reminded me of what a great and wonderful asset we have available to us. I do understand the need to step back and reflect, I do it often myself. I am also quite aware of what a tremendous talent we have sitting on the sidelines at the moment. I am in no way trying to pressure you into stepping back into something you're not willing or wanting to do. There are people here for all different reasons. Some wish to concentrate on the technicalities, and focus on "encyclopedic content" only. That is not a bad thing, although their posts may seem hurtful, they only focus on their own what they believe to be best for "the encyclopedia". You have such tremendous abilities to offer our family FT, your focus on humanity and your realization that we are all living human beings is beyond reproach. To be perfectly blunt ... If I saw an RfA tomorrow with your name on it ... I would support in a heartbeat. Anyone who would question your work with new and young editors looking for help here ... would be a fool. I truly hope that a bit of time and reflection will give you the strength and encouragement to step back into our family circle (however dysfunctional it may be), and become the beacon of hope, encouragement, and collaboration that you have the talent to be. The concise version? ... I miss you FT, and I hope you come back soon. — <small><span style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:1px;"><b>]</b> : ]</span></small> 06:48, 20 June 2009 (UTC) | |||

Thank you...
Thank you for your support
 |
Unfortunately, my RFA was closed recently with a final tally of 75½/38/10. Though it didn't succeed, I wanted to thank you for your support and I hope I can count on it in the future. Even though it didn't pass, it had a nearly 2 to 1 ratio of support and I am quite encouraged by those results. I intend to review the support, oppose, and neutral !votes and see what I can do to address those concerns that were brought up and resubmit in a few months. If you would like to assist in my betterment and/or co-nominate me in the future, please let me know on my talk page. Special thanks go to Schmidt, , TomStar81, and henrik for their co-nominations and support. — BQZip01 — |

New deal for page patrollers
Hi FlyingToaster,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of John Turner (Texas politician)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on John Turner (Texas politician) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. reddogsix (talk) 05:03, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
