The Corre's AFD
I did. I left a message on LadyOfShalott's talk page, who informed me to post on the AfD that I am withdrawing the nomination. So I did that. ☆ Antoshi ☆ T 17:59, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't think you were being gruff, I just wanted to clear up the situation. It's the first time I withdrew an AfD anyway. ☆ Antoshi ☆ T 21:23, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

AfD withdrawl
please close my AfD for Air Boom for me, another user says I cannot close it myself --ChristianandJericho (talk) 09:16, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I am actually going to let it run its course since it has been running for 5 days now.    ArcAngel    (talk) ) 10:48, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Adminship (again)
Remember when you said the only way you'll go for adminship again is if somebody nominated you? I have asked an admin to nominate you because I seriously think you'd make a great admin after going through your past records --ChristianandJericho (talk) 08:25, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey ArcAngel. Are you interested in adminship? If so, I'd be happy to have a glance through your contributions and either nominate you or explain why I haven't per WP:REQUESTNOM.  WormTT   &middot; &#32;(talk) 11:51, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Appreciate the thought, however at this time I would only accept a nomination if you felt that I was ready for the mop, so go ahead and give me a look over and let me know. :)    ArcAngel    (talk) ) 12:01, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Sounds sensible, I'd only nominate if I thought you were ;) I'll have a bit of a look through your last few months when I get a chance and will get back to you as soon as I can.  WormTT   &middot; &#32;(talk) 12:04, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, sounds like a plan. :)     ArcAngel    (talk) ) 12:24, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * According to a few editors, you should read the WP:RFAADVICE --ChristianandJericho  (talk) 12:31, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think that was pointed more at you, really. Having been through RFA twice now, I know how the process works.  :)     ArcAngel    (talk) ) 12:34, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Anyway, I really hope you become an admin because I was surprised when I figured out you wern't --ChristianandJericho (talk) 12:52, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * so worm did you come to a conclusion yet? --ChristianandJericho Talk? Contributions 14:25, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Patience, young grasshopper. :)    ArcAngel    (talk) ) 15:01, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Just realized ChristianandJericho though I'd be done in 2 hours. My word! I'm glad you're expectations are a little more realisting ;) I should be done soon, haven't found anything that concerns me as yet.  WormTT   &middot; &#32;(talk) 19:25, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Having said that, I do have a few questions. You mention in your last RfA that you felt your article work was fairly weak - I can't say I've seen much of an increase in that area. Do you have any contributions which you would consider your best? Also, as CSD nominations was such a large area of concern, how confident do you feel regarding that area? Did you take any steps to rectify the situation? (I'll be going through your last few next)  WormTT   &middot; &#32;(talk) 19:37, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * As far as contributions go, this diff I am most satisfied with, along with this. On both I feel like I had a good start, but didn't realize that there was already an article on him when I started it, and when I did I went ahead and merged some of what I wrote into the present article.  As far as CSD nominations go, I feel that I have slowed down on quickly nominating those that could be fleshed out later, and really only tag something that I feel is a CSD candidate, otherwise I PROD the article if no CSD criteria apply.  I will admit that I have had a few missteps along the way, but I feel that's because I think differently than some on here, and so my editing philosophy doesn't always match up with someone else's.     ArcAngel    (talk) ) 20:05, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That's quite interesting that you feel that some of your best work (Frank Browne) is wholly unsourced with inline citations and was from 3 years ago. As for V-Scale, only one source mentions it as a concept at all and a few of the otherssources are unreliable (self published). In general, I'd say not the best on content - and I expect that may be a bit of a pitfall going for adminship. Whilst you don't need a plethora of good and featured articles, many people at RfA look for editors who have actively contributed content, so that they can better empathise with users who are having difficulties while writing articles. HJ Mitchell may also be able to offer a view on this. I do however agree that your speedying has improved - but it's not one of my strongest areas, so I would need to do a bit more investigation (or get an outside opinion!)  WormTT   &middot; &#32;(talk) 12:55, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Well I was referring to the content and not the referencing. That I need to work on, for sure.  The cites in V Scale were the best I could find so far until I do more research on that.     ArcAngel    (talk) ) 23:29, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I can see that point of view and there's nothing wrong with the quality of your writing (though it could do with expansion). However, text without citations is about as helpful as citations without text, you can't really have one without the other. I think you'd have to be a very strong candidate in a certain area for you to pass an adminship request without some sort of content contributions. If there's an article you're interested in, let me know and I'd happily collaborate with you to see if we can get a decent article out of it. I've got a couple of articles up my sleeve too if you're interested. One example Warren Harris, is something that has been recently deleted because it was not well sourced, could be a copy vio and possibly an attack page. However there definitely is an article there. It's about a serial killer from the 1970s and deals with all sorts of hot topics like homophobia and racism. If you can write a neutral article on that, it will certainly show some strength on content contributions.  WormTT   &middot; &#32;(talk) 10:22, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That sounds interesting. Could you perhaps put a copy of that article in a sandbox area of my userspace somewhere?     ArcAngel    (talk) ) 12:51, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately not - due to the fact that it could possibly be a copyvio/attack page. However, I could email it to you so that we could completely re-write it. Also if you have a look in User:Worm That Turned/To Do, there's a few sources I've found ready to go, which may give you some more background.  WormTT   &middot; &#32;(talk) 12:58, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure, e-mail works. I'll take a look at your to do and see what I can do with it.     ArcAngel    (talk) ) 21:38, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Pearl reissue label
Hello - Thank you for sorting the strange redirect from 'Pearl Records' to 'Garth Brooks'. As you've seen, I added today both 'Pearl' and 'Pearl Records' to the WP list of record labels (while under the impression that 'Pearl Records' really was a Garth Brooks company). I notice you reverted that change because "neither of those are articles about record labels": I guess that's because 'Pearl' generally refers to something other than a record label! However, until its demise, 'Pearl' was a rather well known reissue record label. A query (forgive my ignorance): would it be better for me to add the item back in to the list as 'Pearl (record label)' or as 'Pearl Records'? Thanks in advance. --MistyMorn (talk) 21:32, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, it really should have its own article to be in the list, and I currently don't see one on the dab page.    ArcAngel    (talk) ) 21:36, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh... I thought it was a list of record labels with/without articles. But now I come to click, they pretty well all seem to have a WP article. So, I guess I must have got the wrong side of the record, as it were. Does that mean I ought to revert other changes where I added bona fide record labels which don't yet have a WP article? I suppose it does. --MistyMorn (talk) 22:00, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I've already reverted those. It generally is best if something has its own article before being added to these lists.     ArcAngel    (talk) ) 00:06, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for doing that. I'd assumed (wrongly) that the big list was intended to be an 'encyclopaedic list' of existing record labels and that any empty WP links were to be understood as a discrete nudge to set up a stub. Anyway, now I know... thanks!--MistyMorn (talk) 08:40, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
