Wikibreak

NOTICE: I am now taking a "Wiki-break," because I need a few days off to go GET A JOB, plus I am spending too much time online currently and too little in "real-life" responsibilities and rights. However, before I go, if anybody is concerned whether I am mad at you for any recent disagreement or misunderstanding, let me assure you, I am not mad, and wish you the best. If you post a message to my page, I may or may not see it. If you really need to get in touch with me, then search the archives or history and see my contact information, which has the likes of my name, address, phone number, and email address. Thank you for all the feedback I have received of recent relating to my Featured Article and Requests for Admin nominations and related matters. (PS: I may hang around on a Wiki gnome basis to try and tweak things, including a last-minute FA-nomination I just submitted.)--GordonWatts 13:54, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Archives

  1. Archive 1:The approximately 67 kb archive of my first talk page.
  2. Archive 2:The 2nd archive of my first talk page is of unknown length, since the edit dialogue doesn't tell me the KB length (probably less than 40 or 45Kb, or whatever is the cutoff minimum), but it appears smaller than the (67 kb) 1st archive.
  3. Archive 3:The 3rd archive, 47 Kb in length.
  4. Archive 4:The 4th archive, which is about 97 kilobytes long.--GordonWatts 13:34, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
  5. Archive 5:The 5th archive, which is about 50 kilobytes long.--GordonWatts 13:34, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Note: If you post a message to my page, and I delete it, it is likely because I did read it and added to the archives. As others sometimes do, I also sometimes delete or archive messages. This is not meant to offend you, but I like my page neat and clean.--GordonWatts 10:16, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

RfC feedback

Gordon, PurplePlatypus (I think I spelled that right) mentioned something about making threaded comments on an RfC. Generally, I think threaded comments in an RfC are discouraged on the main page and are encouraged to be moved to the RfC talk page. The other option is to add comments to your section of the RfC, such as "Outside view by Gordon Watts", and say something like "in reply to so-and-so, I'd say this." It's generally encouraged this way to discourage an escalation of things and to allow everyone a chance to say their peace without someone else making it combative. I don't think your comments were combative, so I don't think it's really a problem. But in case you're wondering what PurplePlatypus was talking about, I thought I'd explain.

Hmm... interesting. Logged and noted. (There are two sides to this argument -whether or not to thread comments: A little threading is needed so people can see what you're replying to, but too much is escalation, I think. Thx for the heads up.)--GordonWatts 05:31, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey Mr. Watts

Hi again, its me Quentin. I see that neither of us can seem to become an admin. If you check the RfA, you can see what I'm talking about. Private Butcher 18:46, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
