Thank you Jackson for all your help

I've finished my most recent exam! (maybe not).. what does this: Milestones All students will have participated in at least one RfC. mean? and did I miss something? --TattØØdẄaitre§ lĖTŝ tÅLĶ 04:42, 10 August 2013 (UTC)TattØØdẄaitre§ lĖTŝ tÅLĶ 05:11, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! I graded it just now - good work! The milestone is more of a suggestion, not an official rubric item. Don't worry about it - if you haven't participated in a RFC by now, you will. You probably have, already, though I'm not sure. --Jackson Peebles (talk) 19:11, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

tHANK you so much Jackson. Appreciate all the hard work that goes in to adoption. TattØØdẄaitre§ lĖTŝ tÅLĶ 19:21, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

talk you probably just overlooked it that this was the second post about a completed exam and i didnt specify that i had completed 7 and 8. Just a heads up still waiting on grade for exam 8. And i did find the example i used for my answer in exam 7 q.7 so i posted that there after leaving a TB here. Hope you have a fabulous weekend.TattØØdẄaitre§ lĖTŝ tÅLĶ 20:04, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Resolved, thanks for the reminder! --Jackson Peebles (talk) 14:20, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Tanlback

Hello, Jackson, Sorry for keeping my lessons pending for so long. I was busy with my RL exams. I will try to complete my lessons as soon a possible. Thanks for the reminder note. Once again sorry for the delay. Take care. Avinendra (talk) 16:32, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me. I hope the exams went well, and you take care, as well! --Jackson Peebles (talk) 17:36, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

RE: Practical

When I paste the diffs into the entry field for "Add an article" in the course page it does not come up after I have clicked the button. Should I post the diffs here? PantherLeapord|My talk page|My CSD log 02:02, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Sure, whatever works. I like to think I'm flexible. --Jackson Peebles (talk) 03:31, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Alright. , , , , . PantherLeapord|My talk page|My CSD log 04:30, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

1. You made your opinion explicitly clear in multiple places, surpassing requirements. However, your arguments made some claims that can't be backed up by fact, though they're almost certainly true (that we would lose editors). These should be phrased as "likely" things that "may" happen. Y
2. You did not say why you feel that it is adequate as-is, and the practical specifically "must be well-thought-out and show consideration of both views." N
3. The more common term should be used, and the RfC wasn't explicit in what it wanted. Adequate response. Y
4. Fair enough. I would urge you to review Misplaced Pages:Blocks_and_bans#Difference_between_bans_and_blocks, which I think is where the nominated individual pulled their data from, but they didn't do their reading well-enough. Since consensus is a pillar of WP, good answer. Y
5. Shows you did at least some research. I liked the editor, too. Y

Pass per Practical Option #4. Congratulations! You're done! Swag is coming your way. --Jackson Peebles (talk) 19:40, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

I thank you kindly for

I thank you kindly for grading exam eight and for adjusting my grade for the other exam. I hate being wrong too, however its really cool to be right once in a while. Lol! Now do I just proceed with the final? And I would like to respectfully ask for leniency on the timing. Is this possible? I am not sure how strict the times are/ how long I get, but I will be attending school AND working 3 days a week, an additional 1 day will be just school, and another 1 day will be an extra long work day. Plus, and god help me through this, but I am moving the same week that school starts in my non-existent free time. Additionally, my son needs to be driven to his school and back monday through friday am and pm (a 50 mile round trip). I really want to start it so that I can sneak it in at any of the possible free moments that I am blessed with, but will do however you suggest, recommend or advise. I will wait for confirmation from you before I proceed. Oh and what do those images mean (next to the exam grades), the ones that look almost like little clocks? Just curious. Thank you, Kristin Tattoodwaitress (talk) 17:29, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

No problem Yup, you may! You can have leniency on timing, that seems fair given how rigorous you've been with the other exams. Your other activities take priority. Just try to get stuff done when possible (and you can do it in bits and pieces); you only have that and the practical left. The clock means I'm waiting on completion - it just mean you haven't given up but you aren't done. It's a good thing. Normally, when they're used, it means an admin is waiting on something to happen. --Jackson Peebles (talk) 19:57, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for using the inputboxes so effectively; you'd be amazed how much trouble people have with those. There are a few corrections that I'd like you to go over before we move on. Please take a look ! --Jackson Peebles (talk) 04:15, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
