I am here when you need me; you have but to call... --Mhking 01:52, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I like the talk page, I'll take it! Gray background, Maroon boxes, and blue links please :D . I'll keep my userpage as-is, I prefer my upfront information about myself. But this is nice, quick links if someone just checks the Talk. As to your RfA, sorry it didn't pass. But hey, you saw what happened with CSCWEM! Thanks for your support for me. Teke 04:00, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and square edges instead of rounded. I'm demanding like that. Teke 04:02, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Even better, green links to tie into my sig. Now I'm all excited... Teke 04:03, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Er, I don't know how to change the borders to square. As for the link colors, I'm not 100% sure what you're referring to. If you're talking about something that automatically makes all links on the page a certain color I don't know how to do that. ⇒ SWATJester Aim _Fire! 19:25, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

You still know more about it than me. Just the original proposal will be fine, much appreciation for the work! Teke 03:37, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Your RFA

Sorry to hear about your RFA. Trust me, in time, you will make admin. About me leaving, yes, and its my final decision. I am glad that I was seen as a "role model" to some Wikipedians. I'll be on Misplaced Pages to answer new messages I get but only until Monday when I stop answering these new messages. If you need me afterwards you can try e-mailing me. Good talking to you Swatjester.. -- Moe ε 01:59, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the thanks. I am also sorry to hear about your rfa. Next time will be great, don't worry. --a.n.o.n.y.m 17:02, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey Swat, the RfA was going great when I saw it in the early stages, sorry it didn't work out... I think you can take comfort that most of the oppose votes gave guidance on how to make good, no "lost cause" here in anyone's mind. Nice one, Deizio 17:09, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to hear this. I am in the same boat as you, I have failed (two) RfAs. I know the feeling, but if it makes you feel better mine failed on my birthday! Computerjoe's talk 19:22, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

That must have felt nice, the appreciation. But the rejection seemed awful :( Computerjoe's talk 19:26, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

It's just a wiki. ⇒ SWATJester Aim _Fire! 19:26, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry it didn't work out. Better luck with your next one. If you need a nominator let me know. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 19:39, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

To be honest when I saw your RfA I thought it'd be an easy support but after reading the oppose reasons, and examining them carefully I didn't feel able to this time. I'm sure though by taking the comments on board and doing all you can to fix the issues raised you'll be a great candidate next time- I look forward to being able to support you then. Cheers, Petros471 19:45, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

You handled the pressures of the RfA well, Swatjester; that's a good sign for the future. I'm sure you'll try again and make it next time. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 21:04, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry your RfA didn't reach consensus. I'll be there in support the next time around. You will make a good admin. Best, Gwernol 23:29, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

As I said in my neutral vote (in different words), you are an Admin in the making. It is only a question of a little more experience (which basically means time) and keeping up the good work. In a few more months, I'm confident you'll get it. Cheers, Redux 23:32, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

You'll make it, you're a good editor...the new page is awesome! •Jim62sch• 23:34, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Re the whole de-bureaucrating thing

Hi, I never came to thank you for the message you left for me a month ago when I stepped down from being a bureaucrat. Thank you for the things you said, it's good to know there are still plenty of good people about in this project. I do not see myself standing for bureaucrat again anytime soon though who knows what the future may bring! Thank you once again. -- Francs2000 09:57, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA

Please don't take my neutral vote as any criticism of you, at all. It's only a matter of your length of time here. I would strongly support you in maybe three more months. User:Zoe| 23:14, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep me on your notif list next time you're up for Admin -- I will vote yes, and am sorry I didn't see the nom this time. Cheers. Morton devonshire 02:54, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
