Damn good job[edit]

I have been toiling away on that glossary off and on for over 2 years. I am extremely grateful that you came along and banged out the rest of the glossary of philosophical isms.

What a relief. Now I'm going to sit back and read it. :) But first...

In addition to a special award I've placed on your awards page (upgrading your previous award), I've nominated you for the Star of Sophia. It is the highest honor bestowed by the Philosophy WikiProject, and its recipients are added to the PWP's Hall of Fame, displayed on the PWP's main page for all to see. To date, only 10 Wikipedians have received this honor. If and when two more PWP members nominate you in recognition of the same or other contributions to philosophy on Wikipedia, you will be granted the Sophia. Keep up the good works in philosophy. I hope to see you in the Hall of Fame someday. The Transhumanist 09:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thanks[edit]

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which which passed nem. con. with 45 support, 0 oppose, and 0 neutral. Thank you for your support and all the kind words that were expressed. I will try to live up to the trust placed in me by the community. I now have my homework to do and then pass the Marigolds.

Vandalism drive[edit]

Well, I've reverted and warned 110 vandals (on January 9 (3), January 10 (50-ish) and January 11 (50-ish), so it'll be easy for you to check). It's been interesting but I don't think I'd like it as a day-job :) Having rollback and Twinkle helped enormously. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 20:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rudget![edit]

Dear Sharkface217, my sincere thanks for your support in my second request for adminship, which ended with 113 supports, 11 opposes, and 4 neutral. I would especially like to thank my admin coach and nominator, Rlevse and Ryan Postlethwaite who in addition to Ioeth all inspired me to run for a second candidacy. I would also like to make a special mention to Phoenix-wiki, Dihyrdogen Monoxide and OhanaUnited who all offered to do co-nominations, but I unfortunately had to decline. I had all these funny ideas that it would fail again, and I was prepared for the worst, but at least it showed that the community really does have something other places don't. Who would have though Gmail would have been so effective? 32 emails in one week! (Even if it does classify some as junk :P) I'm glad that I've been appointed after a nail biting and some might call, decision changing RFA, but if you ever need anything, just get in touch. The very best of luck for 2008 and beyond, Rudget . 15:32, 12 January 2008 (UTC) [reply]

Hi. Thanks for the Barnstars and kind comments. I think you're right - it's a great way of drawing attention to articles which are in need of some TLC. If nothing else it helps me avoid doing some work :-D

I also want to give special thanks to my Admin Coach and nominator, Useight for all of his help and support. I promise that I'll give my best effort as an admin, and I hope that your confidence in me proves to be justified. If I can ever be of any help, please let me know. In the mean time, I have some cleaning to do. Have a great day! Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 20:08, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

a thank you note[edit]

		Thanks for participating in my RfA!
		Although it failed 43/27/0, I'm happy because the outcome has been very helpful in many meaningful ways. Your support and remarks contributed so much to this. If you followed my RfA you know what happened. Most of the editors who posted opposing opinions have never edited with me. Some articles I edit deal with controversial topics and with respect to a very few of these, editors who didn't know much about me had some worries about confrontational editing and civility. Since I support their high standards I can easily (and will gladly) address this. The support and ecouragement to run again soon has been outstanding, thanks again. Cheers!

Done with vandal participation[edit]

Greetings again Sharkface, since my sign up for vandalism combat, I feel I have successfully completed the tasks:

50 WP:AIV [5] Wisdom89 (talk · contribs · deleted · count · AfD · logs · block log · lu · rfar · spi)
100 warnings (hard to count, but it's there) [6]
20 bans - This is a little hard to prove, but I'd say that 80-90% of my reports result in bands, as do the warnings (eventually)

Cheers dude. Wisdom89 (talk) 02:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Two things: A. There is a difference between a ban and a block. B. In the last half hour [7][8][9][10] 4 of your reported users were removed for insufficient warnings and not editing past a final warning. Metros (talk) 02:37, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Although I already addressed this on my talk page, so I'll just make a quick reiteration - A user does not need to receive a final warning to be reported or blocked. Wisdom89 (talk) 04:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the recognition Sharkface - much appreciated. Keep up the excellent work you're doing. Cheers dude. Wisdom89 (talk) 04:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Award center inquiry[edit]

Hey there SF, Wisdom89 again. I just wanted to ask you a question since you seem quite on top of things regarding the Transhumanist awards. I signed up for a "challenge" of kindness I suppose you could say, where the feat was welcoming 1000 users. However, User:Luksuh seems to be in the middle of a period of lengthy inactivity. I notified him/her of the success here: [11]. I was wondering, what kind of barnstar would be appropriate, and if it's possible (not that it's terribly important really) someone else could award it?

Thanks for supporting me! My RfA passed with a final tally of 5 neutrals, 1 oppose and 148 supports, a turnout I couldn't have dreamed of.

Ok (to avoid confusion). Here are the final stats:

2400+ Vandals Warned
200+ AIV Reports
20+ blocks. (Obviously way more based on the AIV reports, but it would take me a decade to list them.)

OhanaUnited's RFA[edit]

Thank you!

Thank you for participating in my 2nd RfA and supporting me! My RfA passed unanimously at 79 support, 0 oppose, 0 neutral. I would like to take this opportunity to thank AndonicO and Rudget for nominating me. I also want to thank LaraLove for persuading me to keep going after I failed my first RfA.

To be really honest, I am surprised that my RfA passed without any oppose or neutral. Being an administrator means more responsibilities, especially when I'm now an administrator on both English Wikipedia as well as WikiSpecies. I promise everyone that I will use the tools effectively to serve the community. If you need help on anything, don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Last but not least, remember the motto for Ohana: "When it comes to family, nobody gets left behind."

Once again, thanks for placing your trust in me to help the community. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 18:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

How did you create your list of articles started? The Transhumanist 18:13, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Err, every time I create an article, I usually add it to the list. Is there a mistake on the list (it's been known to happen, as articles have been deleted and then recreated by somebody else)? --Shark face 217 05:44, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. I was asking because I'm looking for the fastest way for a user to create a list of the pages he or she started. I thought you might have used a special trick or technique. So far, I've learned of this tool. It only lists articles created in the main namespace, and you have to linkify the results yourself, but it's still a shortcut. If you come across any better ways, let me know. I've added this one to the User Page Design Center, so everyone can benefit from it. The Transhumanist 07:08, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the very best that Wikipedia has to offer came out to support or oppose me and the kind words from all the editors has really given me confidence to be an admin and I can't wait to start. I will take the advice of the opposes and not jump into any content disputes immediately. As well, I will try to add more content myself. Anyways, in thanks for participating in my RfA, I got you something great but I can't show you because it's fair-use only. Excuse me, I mean non-free. Enjoy! --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk - Contribs) 14:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Friday...[edit]

Tomorrows Friday, and I'm going to be at school - and you're not. (Yeah - rub it in) :( And next week I have MCAS :( *Sigh* - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I might get a quick reply from you. Anyways.... I just copied my Celtics newsletter to here. It's just a basic format. If you want to change the images, (but barnstars or something, you should know how that works. Also, I'm POSITIVE you want to change to colors. There is a easy color picker right here. Tell me if you have any more questions. I will be doing homework for ~15 minutes. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. It looks good. I changed the images surrounding the image you uploaded. You might have to change some of the links though. What do you want to have for sections? "New Assignments" "Award Winners" etc? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 12:31, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Я Для Tебя[edit]

The page says "Я Для Tебя went on to chart #5 in Russia." so I think it may be notable if the chart position can be verified. I can't read a word of Russian, so do you think I should tag it for expert? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 03:42, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

Thank you for your support in my RFA. The final vote count was (73/3/1), so I am now an administrator. Please let me know if at any stage you need help, or if you have comments on how I am doing as an admin. Have a nice day! :) Aleta ^Sing 17:20, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Query[edit]

Do you think you can get through to User talk:Perl? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:19, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So far, I'm giving him a chance to retract; I was hoping you could get through to him. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:11, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for trying; it's kind of you. I looked at his talk page, and see there's nothing new since yesterday; further response on my talk. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:54, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: WP: AWC newsletter[edit]

Hmm.... Maybe you should have "Assignment of the (week?) (month?)" and "New Assignments" - that's all I can think of as of now. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:05, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! We can do that. How far are you in the newsletter? Anyways - when you're done you know where to go. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:29, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
