Re: Userpage layout.

To continue the discussion originally here (and I don't know if you're watching my talk page so I posted this here too, apologies if you see it twice), I'd love some help on my user page (or talk page) layout. There are some followup comments on my talk page in regards to your comments there, and to that end, a new section created on my userpage about things that need to be fixed.

I would very much appreciate any and all help! I'm slowly learning Misplaced Pages markup as I go along. It's been a few weeks, I'd like to think I'm a relatively fast learner. :) - File:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom 07:10, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help, please let me know if anything else looks off. - File:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom 19:36, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Your comments requested

I'd like your thoughts on a brainstorm I've tried to articulate here: User:Leifern/Adminwatch idea. And feel free to spread the word. --Leifern 16:38, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA

Sorry, my point still stands. If you haven't edited in the article namespace recently enough for there to be 150 edits for Mathbot to dig up, then you haven't really been contributing to the encyclopedia. Even some of the busiest people dealing with meta affairs edit now and then. Johnleemk | Talk 14:39, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

No problem, just wanted to ensure you were aware. Thanks! Ian13/talk 17:28, 4 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.

An extra note. Your candidacy fell at the lower end of bureaucrat discretion. Upon review I determined that the responses displayed a community consensus that merited your promotion at this time; however, please make the extra effort to reread and consider the opposing and neutral votes and let them guide you in future work in Misplaced Pages and your success in being an admin.

Congrats! - File:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom 19:32, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
I will add my congratulations here, Ian13. I think you will be a really great admin, and I look forward to seeing more of your articles at Misplaced Pages. Good luck! :)--Firsfron 22:33, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Congrats and don't worry about trying to do more article work. Your talents lie where they lie, don't try to be all things to all people. One puppy's opinion.
If I can ever be of any assistance, do not hesitate to let me know. KillerChihuahua 23:27, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Thank you. I will aim to do some more article work, just to try and ensure I am fully qualified in all areas of adminship, however I will still mainly do wikipedia tasks. Ian13/talk 10:01, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Best wish for your adminship.--Jusjih 02:50, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

This was me... honest! I was using a public computer and didn't log on, so I just used my signature template. haz (user talk) 21:29, 5 March 2006
No problem. It's just because the __NOEDITSECTION__ tag broke section editing (theres a surprise), I was unsure of the comment. Ian13/talk 18:48, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations! You deserve this and keep up the good work! --Siva1979 14:37, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Well done! -- Natalya 18:27, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations Ian13 --Ugur Basak 09:07, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations, Ian13. Please use your new powers boldly, but also even-handedly and with self-reflection. I have confidence in you.  :-)    GUÐSÞEGN   – UTEX – 23:30, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations. Here are what pass for words of wisdom from the puppy:
  1. Remember you will always protect the wrong version.
  2. Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. You will always pick the wrong one to do. (See #5)
  3. Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll.
  4. Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block.
  5. Remember when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology.
  6. and finally, Remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able.
