Like to be mop-nominated?
Your name has been on, and indeed near the top of WP:NA for quite a while, but so far as I know you've never been nominated. Your contributions look industrious and uncontroversial, and I can see no reason why you shouldn't get the mop, if you're indeed interested. Would you like me to nominate you? Alai 06:42, 26 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm saying nothing about rising times of a Sunday morning, on the "glass houses" principle. Nominated, you now need to accept, answer the questions, and list the page.  Indeed, pretty much no way to tell, but I can see no reason you wouldn't be accepted.  Look at it this way:  if there's some mysterious objection people would have, better to discover it now, make whatever amends or corrective action might be required, and get re-nominated in due course, if the worst comes to the worst.  Alai 17:57, 26 February 2006 (UTC)


 * As I alluded to above, technically you're supposed to do that bit yourself.... Alai 19:20, 26 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Maybe it's a final initiative/technical skills test? :) Best of luck!  Alai 19:28, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

I see a distinct pattern in the opposes/concerned-sounding neutrals! Regardless of which way this pans out (and it's fairly finely poised at present), can I suggest you consider joining a wikiproject as a "kinder, gentler" means of having more interactions with other users, and the project space? And/or one of the more neglected "process" pages -- categories for deletion/renaming, or requested moves, if you're interested in naming convention matters, stub proposals/deletions, etc, etc. Not so painful as AFD, or as full-bore wikipolitics, I promise. Alai 02:39, 4 March 2006 (UTC)


 * The neutrals are basically not counted, unless the support:oppose ratio is really in the "grey area". (Notice that Ian13 was just promoted with barely 75% support, not counting the neutrals at all.)  I don't suggest you take part in a WPJ or process page only to get your namespace edit count up, and I certainly don't suggest one you have no actual interest in:  as I say, I think it would be worth considering regardless of the RfA outcome.  But I'd think you'd have some interest in WikiProject Football, Typo and similar "cleanup" activities...  And WP:WSS could always do with more slave^Wvolunteer labour, I can testify from personal experience.  Alai 18:25, 4 March 2006 (UTC)


 * You're very welcome. Alai 18:57, 4 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Hope I'm not tempting fate by jumping the gun of the actual closure, but as the deadline's passed, and unless there are about six late-breaking opposes... Well done, talk to people occasionally, but keep up the good work -- and don't swing to the opposite end of the spectrum and turn into a total process-fiend, either!  Alai 20:02, 5 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. Cheers! -- Cecropia 03:44, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Congrats
Congrats on becoming an admin! I was hoping you could help with something. In deletion review (and the deletion process for that matter) and article was deleted that I believe should not have been. User:Tony Sidaway agrees. The article was deleted for notability, but the person in question was mentioned in about a dozen different mainstream media articles, included a recent front page article in the New York Times. Can you take a look and vote accordingly? The review is here. Deletion Review. Thanks. -- Alpha269 04:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Self Harm page
Hi there, I'm getting in touch as you've done recent work on the self-harm article. I've done a fair bit of study on this subject recently, so reckon I'm in a position to go through and get a good load of citations in there. What I propose, is moving to using the ref tag to make this easier, and then I'll go through and get citations in, and replace some of the "some people" type areas with referenced viewpoints, trying to get multiple view is where there are opposing views. Obviously this'll involve a bit of rewriting and adding so I wondered if you have any feedback on this before I start. Acidsaturation 07:41, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Gonna get on to it this week - picking up some resources from the Library at Leeds today. If you want to give a hand - someone to proofread what I do would be great, incase I miss bits in the markup, or if I do any shuffling to make the references flow smoother. Acidsaturation 15:54, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * OK - I've had a play with the Definitions bit - referenced it, added a few more things and moved one para into the psychology section as I reckon it goes better there. If you want to check it over I'd welcome that Acidsaturation 23:09, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi again - have been working on the psychology section a bit - Realised when I started going through it that it needed quite abit of work - lots of repetition, also I had a few bits I wanted to add..
 * I'm working on it here : User:Acidsaturation/notebook if you want to have a look - again i'd welcome input. Acidsaturation 16:05, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Do you mind deleting the rest of the three pages that are no longer useful to me? Thanks.— G . H e  03:23, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually, I meant to keep the END OF THE PAGE ONE... sorry if I hadn't made it clear. Can you please revert that one? The following are the three pages...:


 * User:GHe/Stat
 * User:GHe/Temp
 * User:GHe/Tеmp


 * (One of the Temp has a different "e")— G . H e  03:28, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much.— G . H e  03:30, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Yup. It's all fine now. I created the Stats page a while ago because I thought it would be good to have a "current status" thing at the time. But then I found out how much work it was to keep it accurate and I don't want to be changing that every time my status changes (which appeared to be quite often...). The other Temp pages were made tonight for temporary testing purposes and were no longer needed.— G . H e  03:40, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

F1 portal featured article
The F1 portal (in which I assume you have some degree of interest, as your name is listed on WikiProject_Formula_One) is intended to have a regular rotation of a 'featured article'. I've swapped a few in and out over the last couple of months, but I think it would be better if there were more of a community attempt at deciding this, proposals, votes, that kind of thing. So - why not pop over to Portal_talk:Formula_One and make a suggestion. Ta. 4u1e 00:24, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Looks like we've ganged up on the poor vandal ;)
. So thanks! Any chance you can block the guy, he appears to have a previous history... Sam Vimes 18:09, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Selected articles on Portal:F1
Hello again.

I dropped notes round a while back to those who have listed themselves at WikiProject_Formula_One to ask for suggestions for selected articles on portal:Formula One. There was a pretty good response, both in terms of how it might work and of articles suggested. Damon Hill came out with the most support and was brought up to Good Article standard after a lot of work by Skully Collins before going on as the F1 portal selected article a couple of weeks ago. It is now at Featured Article Candidates as a Featured Article candidate (why not drop by and see if you can help polish it further?).

Several people who responded to the original request suggested that a monthly or bi-weekly 'Selected Article' could act as a catalyst for an improvement drive to get more articles up to a higher standard. Although it wasn't quite what I had in mind when I started, this seemed to work pretty well for the Damon Hill article, so I've drafted up a process for doing this more regularly. See Portal_talk:Formula_One/Management_of_selected_articles for details. Essentially the suggestion is that we vote for an article to improve every couple of weeks and at the end of the improvement process the article goes on the portal as the new 'Selected Article'. I'd be grateful for any comments on how this might work - I'm sure some of you are more familiar with things 'Wiki' than me - as well as your votes for the next candidate (by 16 July).

You may also want to help with the article Gilles Villeneuve, which was the next most popular after Damon Hill. The idea is to try and get it up to GA standard by 16 July and then put it on the portal as the 'Selected Article'. I hope you can help! 4u1e 15:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Question
Any idea why all the links on Wikipedia are underlines all of the sudden? --NEMT 20:31, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Danie Keulder
We usually follow Cricinfo, and as they have Danie and google have Danie, redirecting Daniel to Danie seems sensible. Sam Vimes 21:08, 15 July 2006 (UTC)


 * It works fine for me whenever I click Daniel Keulder, so I guess it's just something with your computer. Sam Vimes 21:56, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Screw The Banker
Thanks for the URL. The reason I don't want the articles for DOND deleting, however, is because I know that I (and many others) have put some work into these (others more than I have), and it'd be a shame to see it all go to waste. Double Dash 11:30, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'm guessing that the Series 3 article deletion passed? The article isn't there anymore. Double Dash 21:38, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Namibians
By all means remove categories like the one in Jason Bandlow - most of them look to have a way left before they can play ODIs (it's a bit of a shame they don't play in South African domestic leagues any more, hopefully the cricketing spark is still nurtured). And I think I can agree about Gavin Murgatroyd too - after looking around, he's known by both first names (the Telegraph and some other sources listed him as Bryan at the World Cup), so you might want to note that in the article.

Inquiry
Hello! I hope you are feeling fine. I have got a question to ask. For this image, is it still appropriate to add the tag ? Is my recent edit correct? However, now I feel that the problem has been solved. Secondly, is it correct to tag this image with as well? The source of this image is not found as well. If I am correct, a URL is needed here. Your help in this would be deeply appreciated. Moreover, please view and comment on the recent comments on my talk page regarding this matter. Thank you for your time and understanding. -- S iva1979 Talk to me  02:46, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Rolando Bianchi
Not just he can, he should have his own article: he's currently the top Serie A goalscorer (4 goals in 3 matches), as well as a key player for the Under-21 Italian team. - Angelo 09:05, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks good; anyway, I'll expand it later. About Boccolini, he's still the third goalkeeper for Ascoli, so I don't think he deserves his own article. Bianchi is a regular for his team (and the Italy U-21), Boccolini definitely not. Angelo 18:49, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't understand this; I created the Rolando Bianchi article months ago. Bababoum 07:45, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clearing this up Bobo. It does seem bizarre that the article was originally deleted but at least it's back. Bababoum 09:30, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Years in Ireland
Hi Bobo; No, as far as I know what you quoted above first is the rule(ie, "See also: 444 in Ireland, other events of 444, 444 in Ireland and the list of 'years in Ireland'"). I've only adapted this from other work that has gone before me. However, if you do find any mistakes please feel free to fix them, as its being a struggle against bad health to get even this up and running. Thanks for dropping a line! Is mise, Fergananim 20:55, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Honestly? I'm not too sure, now that you've pointed it out. I guess the problem is no-one else is doing stuff this far back in Ireland. If you think that it will cause problems, then fire away, with my blessing. I need all the help I can get! Fergananim 21:05, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No Bother; I'm taking a well-earned breck for a few minutes, and I'll check your stuff out when I get back. Fergananim 21:10, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

3RR advice
Hi. I'm Ronline, another administrator at en.wiki. I've picked your name at random from the administrators list and I would like to ask for your input regarding a 3RR violation case. I've been asked by User:MariusM to block User:William Mauco over a 3RR violation. I personally believe that no such violation took place. The case was reported at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/3RR#User:William_Mauco_reported_by_User:MariusM_.28Result:.29. As another admin, what do you think? Ronline ✉ 09:39, 21 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your input. Based on the case, would you be recommending a 3RR block? I personally believe "no", but User:MariusM believes that double standards are being applied (citing another case from a week ago).

Portal:Ice hockey/News
I reverted your excision of the apostrophe, principally because I think the context to be one in which the use of the genitive case to be preferred to the use of the objective case. Gerund seems to suggest, though, that whilst most manuals of style counsel the former usage, the latter is no longer considered as proscribed in the formal English grammar (especially in view of the instant formulation's ostensibly serving to compose an object; our MoS, to be sure, is silent on the issue. Had I appreciated the existence of a broad dispute as to the "proper" usage (and I call myself a descriptivist!), I'd not have reverted, so I mean, I suppose, to apologize and to express my hope that you'll drop by the ice hockey portal, to which few editors contribute, in the future.  If you're scoring at home, btw, I have, indeed, consumed an entire paragraph writing apropos of an apostrophe&mdash;that sort of behavior often leads to one's appearing at WP:LAME. In any event, my bad as to the reversion and my thanks as to your partaking of editing the ice hockey portal; good on ya! Joe 18:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC)`

Hey Bobo! Someone's just found out that you made two articles about the same guy, which obviously isn't ideal. Any idea on which should be where?
