This empty page is no problem. As the creator, you can ask for the speedy deletion. Just add and an administrator will delete it. --Thw1309 04:20, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I've reported these two accounts to Admin Intervention against Vandalism - no use messing with this person. (sigh.) Jackollie (talk) 05:08, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

RE:Themagicannexe
Well, for previously deleted pages that are recreated I think the practice is to speedy them again. Sorry if I interrupted any greater plans. Master of Puppets Care to share?  22:02, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aaronpon (talk • contribs) 05:50, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Note I blocked Aaronpon indef for using sockpuppetry for vandalism, impersonating as an admin, etc. I'm sorry you got confused, thinking that Aaronpon is an admin. Special:Listadmins lists them all. Thanks Secret account 13:37, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

AIV report
I formatted your report correctly, using the template vandal. Putting your reports the following way helps administrators act on the issue quicker by having access to a particular user's logs and other relevant links. Cheers,  Spebi  07:03, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Good call. This guy has exhausted patience, and a short block is called for Mayalld (talk) 14:25, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * And given the grossly abusive attack on the admin that deleted the page, richly deserves the indef block that he just got! Mayalld (talk) 14:31, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

RFA Standards
Yeah, in my experience, someone without at least 2000 total edits won't get the mop. See Requests for adminship/Cobi 2. He had about 1800 edits and I opposed until he got 2000+ edits. The 1000 mainspace doesn't seem to be as often required by !voters as the 2000 total. Some editors want to see a high number of Wikipedia namespace edits instead. I'd say that 1000 mainspace is starting to turn into a standard, though. Useight (talk) 23:33, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem, ask all the questions you want, I assume you're possibly asking in order to find out how to improve yourself as an editor and future RFA candidate. We can always use more experienced editors and I commend you for taking the time to look into all these details. When it comes down to certain types of mainspace edits, you'll want to have a bit of a mix. If you have hundreds of "added a comma" or "reverted edit using Twinkle" in a row, most editors won't like that. Personally, I'm fine with "added a period" or "fixed verb tense", but I don't like to see an editor use Twinkle for all his/her work. Reverting vandalism is important, especially if you want to work in an area like WP:AIV. Adding sources won't really come into consideration. So, in short, the more well-rounded the editor, the better for an RFA. You'll probably also want to have a bunch of deleted contribs. Only admins can view deleted contribs, and I see you have a couple hundred, which is really good in comparison to how long you've been editing. Useight (talk) 23:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Here's what I do. If there's a new message, respond to it. Then check my watchlist, noting mostly edits from IPs or new accounts and edits that changed the size of the article drastically. I also take a look at WP:UAA and WP:AIV to see if anyone should be blocked. Obviously, only an admin can take care of that. I also check CAT:CSD to see which articles need to be speedy deleted. Again, only admins. I also check Special:logs for new users that have made contribs (if the contrib is good, I welcome them, if it's bad, I warn them). Another thing is to check Special:newpages and mark them for speedy deletion if necessary or check Special:recentchanges and revert vandalism. I also like to sometimes go to WP:BACKLOG and find the backlog of uncategorized pages, find the appropriate category in WP:QCAT, and categorize them. As for my mainspace contribs, I am a member of four WikiProjects (Nintendo, LDS, Harry Potter, and NFL) and I work on articles within the scope of those projects. I also tend to spend some time checking WP:RFA. There are tons of things to do; I've logged over 5,000 edits. Useight (talk) 01:41, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Rudget!
Dear Guldenat, 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 . 16:49, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to place a CSD R3 tag on the page as it's a completely implausible typo. Wildthing61476 (talk) 19:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
