As of around 20/7, I'm working on a new quote system. If you send me an instant message, I will quote your reply and answer on your talk page. This way, if you decide to reply on your own page instead of mine, I can keep track of the conversations. Still not decided on the look, though.

I promised myself as soon as I had become an administrator that I would archive my talk. The first archive is below.

Like to be mop-nominated?

Your name has been on, and indeed near the top of WP:NA for quite a while, but so far as I know you've never been nominated. Your contributions look industrious and uncontroversial, and I can see no reason why you shouldn't get the mop, if you're indeed interested. Would you like me to nominate you?

I'm saying nothing about rising times of a Sunday morning, on the "glass houses" principle. Nominated, you now need to accept, answer the questions, and list the page. Indeed, pretty much no way to tell, but I can see no reason you wouldn't be accepted. Look at it this way: if there's some mysterious objection people would have, better to discover it now, make whatever amends or corrective action might be required, and get re-nominated in due course, if the worst comes to the worst.

As I alluded to above, technically you're supposed to do that bit yourself.... Alai 19:20, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it's a final initiative/technical skills test? :) Best of luck! Alai 19:28, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

I see a distinct pattern in the opposes/concerned-sounding neutrals! Regardless of which way this pans out (and it's fairly finely poised at present), can I suggest you consider joining a wikiproject as a "kinder, gentler" means of having more interactions with other users, and the project space? And/or one of the more neglected "process" pages -- categories for deletion/renaming, or requested moves, if you're interested in naming convention matters, stub proposals/deletions, etc, etc. Not so painful as AFD, or as full-bore wikipolitics, I promise. Alai 02:39, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

The neutrals are basically not counted, unless the support:oppose ratio is really in the "grey area". (Notice that Ian13 was just promoted with barely 75% support, not counting the neutrals at all.) I don't suggest you take part in a WPJ or process page only to get your namespace edit count up, and I certainly don't suggest one you have no actual interest in: as I say, I think it would be worth considering regardless of the RfA outcome. But I'd think you'd have some interest in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Football, Misplaced Pages:Typo and similar "cleanup" activities... And WP:WSS could always do with more slave^Wvolunteer labour, I can testify from personal experience. Alai 18:25, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

You're very welcome. Alai 18:57, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Hope I'm not tempting fate by jumping the gun of the actual closure, but as the deadline's passed, and unless there are about six late-breaking opposes... Well done, talk to people occasionally, but keep up the good work -- and don't swing to the opposite end of the spectrum and turn into a total process-fiend, either! Alai 20:02, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations!

Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia 03:44, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Congrats!!! --lightdarkness 03:46, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Congrats!!!! You definitely deserve it!! Fantastic!!! TruthCrusader 09:54, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Congrats! I am happy for you! --Siva1979 14:30, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Congrats

Congrats on becoming an admin! I was hoping you could help with something. In deletion review (and the deletion process for that matter) and article was deleted that I believe should not have been. User:Tony Sidaway agrees. The article was deleted for notability, but the person in question was mentioned in about a dozen different mainstream media articles, included a recent front page article in the New York Times. Can you take a look and vote accordingly? The review is here. Misplaced Pages:Deletion Review#John Bambenek. Thanks. -- Alpha269 04:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
