RfA Nomination

I would like to nominate you for an RfA, are you interested? Alan.ca 12:04, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Let's discuss this on your talk page. Alan.ca 00:33, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Your nomination is accepted, with my gratitude. Seraphimblade 01:07, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

• Hey sorry if my block tainted your RfA. It was subsequently suspended as I stated I would not converse with those who were angering me. Alan.ca 07:45, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't be sorry a bit. If you'd like me to have a look over the situation and give some input, I'd be happy to. Other than that-one hopes that those !voting in an RfA would be looking at the candidate, not unrelated circumstances. Seraphimblade 07:56, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I wrote you an email, thanks for the understanding. I would prefer to discuss it off wikipedia as I had proposed to not discuss it here for 72 hours when I requested the unblock. Alan.ca 07:58, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Questions about articles

Hi, I'd like to know if I am able to add any keywords into articles, so it will be easier to find when people are searching. Dennylin93 04:10, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA comment

Hello! I saw your response to my position and I would like to say thank you! Your opinions are your own and I wouldn't expect anyone to blindly jump up and do whatever I say! An RfA is a learning experience for everyone, subject and community as a whole, and I hope that you get lots of useful and constructive criticism for your Wiki-career, whichever way the opinion flows this time. Doing any of the things that I have suggested will assist the project greatly - and so will a lot of other tasks, many of which I am not even aware and this place is so vast! Whatever - stay positive, edit constructively and have a happy Christmas and a good New Year! Best wishes, (aeropagitica) 01:33, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

And the same to you, thanks! Seraphimblade 02:47, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

This issue is discussed in his article and is not as clear cut as you might think. Rmhermen 04:28, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Request for Adminship

It is my regretful task to inform you that I have closed your request for adminship early as unlikely to achieve consensus. Please do not be discouraged; a number of users have had their first RfA end without consensus, but have been promoted overwhelmingly in a later request. Please continue to make outstanding contributions to Misplaced Pages, and consider requesting adminship again in the future. You may find Misplaced Pages:Guide to requests for adminship helpful in deciding when to consider running again. If I can be of any help to you, please do not hesitate to ask. Essjay (Talk) 11:15, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry that your hard work didn't pay off this time, but I am sure that with your dedicated attitude you won't have a problem running again in three months-or-so. Keep up the valuable contributions! Regards, (aeropagitica) 11:54, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

How do I create a redirect?

Hi. I want to create a redirect for Taipei_Nangang_Exhibition_Center. It has an abbreviation called "TaipeiEx". Dennylin93 11:28, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Problem solved. Thank you anyway. I found information here: Misplaced Pages:Redirect. Dennylin93 11:32, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

RFA

Hey sorry about that buddy, well I honestly think that you are doing a great job. But you just need some more experience, keep up the good work and maybe next year I will nominate you. — Arjun 14:46, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Just keep up what you're doing. My objection was that your tenure here was so short that it was unlikely that you'd delved enough into policies and guidelines to be able to enforce them. With time, you'll run into more funky situations, and will learn more about the policies. Everything else you're doing is fine. Try again in ~six months. Cheers! | Mr. Darcy talk 16:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

I know that the block that was in discussion was placed in error. I read Samir's comments about the block and I agree with Samir that you dealt with the issue in a classy way. Then, I read that there was discussion of another block (which I saw was subsequently noted in the discussion in your RfA). The fact that there was another block-- made me think there was something to this and it tainted you in my eyes-- so, I left my comment as is. I did consider changing my comment-- shortly after I made it... before any one else had commented--to reflect this. In hindsight, the reason I gave wasn't a completely fair justification--and for this I offer an apology. That said, I stand by my judgment-- I think it was right, even if the given reason wasn't completely right for the conclusion I had drawn.

Looking forward, if you acknowledge the blocks I don't think they can bite you. Also, should something like this happen again-- i.e. a block close to a RfA, it is much better to bring this to the RfA than someone else bringing it up. Further, I think it better to write an addendum to the nomination/questions (if you want to comment on something)-- than enter the fray in the support/oppose/neutral section. An addendum is probably more visible. Also, I think it is more respectful of those voting; in some sense, if the person up for RfA comments in the support/oppose/neutral section it is like a politician campaigning at the election booth (a no-no in most places). All things considered, I think you have a good chance at becoming an admin-- if you run again in the future and steer clear of any problems. Nephron  T|C 17:38, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey there, sorry your RfA didn't succeed. I think others have given you some pretty good advice: just keep going and get a little more experience (as I just keep making my way around this place, I keep learning new stuff about it which will help me), and you'll likely be successful in the future. Heimstern Läufer 22:12, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

RfA

Hi there; I think it is only fair to point out that you are seeking advice from someone whose RfA in November failed to achieve consensus!!

But to answer your question as well as I can: what contributors look for is:-

1. Absence of any significant edit conflicts in the recent past.

2. Absolutely no suggestion or threat of being blocked at least within say six months.

3. A good and steady level of contribution to mainspace.

4. A good and well-spread contribution to Namespace.

5. Good answers to the questions, indicating a good understanding of Wiki policy.

And I must say that in my view you pretty much achieved that last time. Being nominsated by an editor who then got blocked was clearly not your fault, and I paid no attention to it, but clearly a number of editors did.

I would suggest that you wait three months - applying before will tend to gather oppose votes on the basis thay not enough time has elapsed - and try again. You could actually ask for views from oppose voters - most of us are reasonably friendly even in that situation.

If you need nominating in March let me know; I could probably do it unless anything silly happens.--Anthony.bradbury 23:36, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Agathoclea's RfA

Hello, and thank you for the support on my recent RfA. The final tally was 63/3/2, and I have now been entrusted with the mop. I hope I can live up to your trust, and certainly welcome any and all feedback. All the best, and thanks again! — Agathoclea 13:58, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Quixtar's Bomb

Hello. I note you changed the POV edits re Quixtar's bomb. The same changes were made to the Quixtar article. I'd appreciate it if you could correct this on that article also. An admin is not letting me edit the Quixtar article because, as you know I am an Amway rep in Europe, and Amway is of course owned by the same company as Quixtar. cheers, --Insider201283 00:15, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
