Perhaps a little late, but no matter...

Congratulations on your recent acquisition of the mop. I offer to you a few words of wisdom:

  • Start slowly and carefully. There's a huge temptation to start flying through your new duties as soon as the 'crat pushes the button - resist it. Avoid close calls for your first week or two, and leave it to those who happened to get their tools a little earlier than you.
  • Be sure to connect in with other users on IRC, if you can. There's a whole pool of channels there where you can get assistance in your newly-acquired buttons, and get your new colleagues used to your name.
  • Be ready for criticism in your first few weeks, but at the same time don't be a push-over. If you feel worried over a decision, get another user to take a look at it.

  • When blocking, ask yourself if everything you've entered into that form will benefit Misplaced Pages: is the block length sufficiently long to prevent further disruption by a vandal, or is it so long that it will put them off ever returning? Is your protection just going to be a minor hiccup in the edit warrior's grand scheme of disruption, or will it hinder the growth of the encyclopedia?

Best of luck with your new buttons, and don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries.

Help with a user name, please!

Hello E,

Many months ago I originally registered under user name "GlobalWarmingSkeptic", and made a couple of edits to articles. I'm now ready to contribute more, but I have lost my original password and I did NOT record an email address when I originally registered. Today I created this new user name "GlobalWarmingSkeptic1", but I would like very much to get get my old user name back (i.e. without the "1" at the end). I'm not sure if this is considered "usurption". Can you help me or tell me what I should do? I'd like to continue using "GlobalWarmingSkeptic" and cancel "GlobalWarmingSkeptic1".

Thank you very much! —Preceding unsigned comment added by GlobalWarmingSkeptic1 (talkcontribs) 16:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

EBot on Abuse reports archive

I am not sure why the bot only works sometimes. I archived a bunch myslef that were rejected, but weren't moved by the bot. Most recently Misplaced Pages:Abuse reports/IP/85.133.156.x was rejected, but not moved. Is this a problem with the bot, or is something missing from the page? - Rjd0060 (talk) 23:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I see. I didn't realize those underscores were there. I don't know why people added them. Thanks for your help. - Rjd0060 (talk) 00:06, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. Rjd0060 (talk) 00:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Deletion dictator

You deleted a page I made within a couple days of my producing it. I think, sir, you suggest yourself for the list of quite arrogant jerks in this kind of activity. It's anti-democratic and its amazingly disrespectful of the labor of other people. I've been away from this computer for days. How was I supposed to answer your "criticism" of the significance? You're a tin pot dictator online. You know nothing about the subject, yet in your ignorance you go ahead and delete items. Recklessly disrespectful of people around you. Very arrogant. PS: don't bother writing back unless it is to apologize and restore my work. I don't care what your response is otherwise. You're getting a small measure of your own medicine. I'm deleting you. You are forgotten already. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thesunkenroad (talkcontribs) 17:18, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Airbus A319-300

Hmm, why shouldn't the redirect page Airbus A319-300 be deleted? No articles point at it; the page was probably created by mistake by someone. Such plane model does not exist. Mstuomel (talk) 12:18, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
