Philly meetup
Hi! There will be a Wikipedia Meetup in Philadelphia on 4 November. If you're interested in coming, RSVP by editing Meetup/Philadelphia 2 to reflect the likelihood of your being able to attend. If you have any questions, feel free to ask CComMack's. Hopefully, we'll all see you (and each other) on the 4th! --evrik 18:55, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you...
...for your kind words and your support during my recent RfA. If I can ever be of help with my new admin tools or just to take a look at an article from a new perspective, just let me know. BTW, a friend of mine will be in Philly in a couple weeks and wants to know who makes the best cheese steaks. Any ideas? Cheers.  young  american (ahoy hoy) 16:29, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Highway's RfA
Thank you for leaving comments at my RfA, I know there's been quite a few things said on both sides that have been said in good faith, and not received in that way. In relation to your comments about requiring further evidence, I thought you may like to see the log Natalya and I kept of some of my good behaviour, here. I have committed to improving my behaviour, and I've just recently joined the Esperanza Advisory Council, as well as taking over the Admin coaching program, both of which require good people skills.

Thanks for reading, H ig hway Grammar Enforcer!  08:57, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Daantm, well all these thank you messages make mine look quite drab, but thanks a lot for your support to my RFA. Do let me know if I can be of any assistance at all. -- Lost (talk) 14:05, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Because people often complain that RfA thank-you messages are impersonal, I thought I'd give you the opportunity to create your own. --  tariq abjotu  06:13, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your vote of support. I appreciate it. Biruitorul 01:40, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

RFA thanks
I wasn't going to send thank-you cards, but the emotional impact of hitting WP:100 (and doing so unanimously!) changed my mind. So I appreciate your confidence in me and my judgment, and hope you'll let me know if I can do anything for you in the future. Cheers! -- nae'blis 21:28, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA: Khukri
Just a quick note to say thanks for your support on my recent RfA. It became clear very quickly that my editing background was going to detrimental to my nomination. Having seen other recent RfA's fail once one or two admins opposed and others just piled on the vote, I decided it would save the ignominy if I withdrew my nomination. I don't intend to change the work I do as it's what I enjoy, so it'll be unlikely I'll apply again. Anyway thanks again for taking the time to review my nomination and giving your support. Regards Khukri ( talk  .  contribs ) 11:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for your support in my RfA. My nomination succeeded and I've joined the admin ranks. I appreciate your support. Thanks again! =) -- Gogo Dodo 05:13, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for voting


Thank you for voting in my RfA which at 51/20/6 unfortunately did not achieve consensus. In closing the nomination, Essjay remarked that it was one of the better discussed RfAs seen recently and I would like to thank you and all others who chose to vote for making it as such. It was extremely humbling to see the large number of support votes, and the number of oppose votes and comments will help me to become stronger. I hope to run again for adminship soon. Thank you all once more. Wikiwoohoo 19:51, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for voting
I appreciate the feedback that I received during the RfA process. Unfortunately, I withdrew my candidacy. However, your participation is appreciated. I have made my New Years Resolution (effective immediately) to attempt to vote on at least 50 WP:XFD/week (on at least 5 different days), to spend 5 hours/week on WP:NPP, to be active in WikiProjects and to change the emphasis of my watchlist from editorial oversight to vandalism prevention. I have replaced several links that I had on my list to some that I think are more highly vandalized (Tiger Woods, Barry Bonds, my congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr., my senator Barrack Obama and Jesse Jackson). My first day under my newly turned leaf was about what I hope a typical day to be. I quickly found a vandal, made a few editorial changes to Donald Trump, voted at WP:CFD and WP:AFD, continued attempted revitalization of WikiProject_Chicago and proposed a new stub type as a result of WP:NPP patrol. I hope this will broaden my wikipedia experience in a way that makes me a better administrator candidate. I hope to feel more ready to be an admin in another 3000 or so edits.

A generic but nonetheless warm "thank you" for your support in my RfA. I'm glad that you affirmed Radiant's nomination and I'll be measured in my use of the cleaning closet's contents. User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 23:21, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank You!
Thank you for your input at my RFA, which successfully closed at 58/2/0. I will think about the 10 questions and answers I had, and I hope that I will use the tools constructively and for the benefit of Wikipedia. If you ever need any help, don't be afraid to drop me a line. I'm here to help afterall! ‎8) -Royalguard11 (Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 23:56, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

WP:UW
Hi,

You have put yourself as interested in helping out atWikiProject on user warnings. We are now at a stage where we are creating the new templates and are wondering if you are still interested? If so please visit the overview page and choose a warning type you wish to work on. There is a base template available here, which you can copy and use to get you started. Have a look through the redirects and see what old templates are affected and incorporate them into the the new system. Anyway, any questions please don't hesitate to give me a shout. Regards Khukri ( talk  .  contribs ) 08:42, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

My recent RfA
Thank you for considering my RfA. It was a very humbling yet surprisingly gratifying experience. I am grateful for all the constructive comments that will undoubtedly make me a better contributer, and hopefully a stronger candidate in the future. Grika 15:04, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

E-gamers - what category is being used?
I'm not trying to PO people here, and this is a serious question from a non-sports person (the only sports I do are downhill skiing and figure skating (and a bit of college hockey years ago))... What criteria is being used for these people? My reading of the WP:BIO is along these lines...

From Notability (people) Where do e-gamers fall into the standard categories? They are not:
 * Political figures
 * local political figures
 * entertainment or opinion makers
 * actors or TV Personalities
 * Published authors, editors and photographers
 * Painters, sculptors, architects, engineers, and other professionals
 * Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events, such as by being assassinated

Can they be considered under the following:?
 * Sportspeople/athletes/competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, or at the highest level in mainly amateur sports or other competitive activities that are themselves considered notable, including college sports in the United States.

They aren't sportspeople or athletes - but they may be competitors; is this the category where their notability is being justified? I didn't think that this was the intent of this category; I read this as those that are actually physically competing. If e-athletes are to be judged under this criteria, I would urge a notation being made as such to prevent further confusion on the issue.

As I couldn't put them in any of the above categories, I fell back to the basic:


 * "The person made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in their specific field. - All of these criteria are in fact simply special cases of the general primary criterion of multiple non-trivial published works from independent sources. A person who is "part of the enduring historical record" will have been written about, in depth, independently in multiple history books on that field, by historians.

There may be articles written about these people, to whom I have no animosity, but can it be said that they are making a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in their specific field?

I do agree that several of the persons on the AFD list do have independent notability, and have noted so on their pages. However when looking at the field, I still say that these don't qualify as I don't see how they are part of the enduring historical record... (article - began playing):


 * Chris Smith (electronic sports player) - May 2005
 * Scott Lussier - July 2005
 * Eric Hewitt - April 2006
 * Ben Jackson (electronic sports player) - May 2005
 * Dave Walsh - March 2004
 * Brandon Jenkins - April 2006
 * Carlos Morales (electronic sports player) - April 2006
 * Michael Cavanaugh - April 2006
 * Victor de Leon III - "Victor has won no tournaments and has no notable placements in professional events."
 * Ryan Danford - May 2004
 * Zyos -"Leto quit gaming professionally after his former team, Xit Woundz, failed to place top 4 during the second event of the 2006 season."
 * TuLegit - ?

Again, I'm not trying to PO people here, would just like to see a clarification made for future disucssion on where exactly these people fit into the WP:BIO scheme!

Thanks for your patience with a non-gamer. :) SkierRMH 06:04, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

My Request for Adminship
 

Thanks for your support on my successful Request for Adminship  (final result 78 Support /0 Oppose / 1 Neutral) I have now been entrusted with the mop, bucket and keys. I will be slowly acclimating myself to my new tools over the next months. I am humbled by your kind support and would certainly welcome any feedback on my actions. Please do not hesitate to contact me. Once again, many thanks and happy new year! All the best, Asterion talk 15:56, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your support
Thank you for your support in the RfA on my behalf. It is an honor to have received your expression of confidence. To be chosen as an administrator requires a high level of confidence by a broad section of the community. Although I received a great deal of support, at this time I do not hold the level of confidence required, and the RfA did not pass. It is my wish that I will continue to deserve your confidence. Sincerely, --BostonMA talk 20:13, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

My RFA
Hey, thanks so much for supporting my recent RFA. A number of editors considered that I wasn't ready for the mop yet and unfortunately the RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). There are a number of areas which I will be working on (including changing my username) in the next few months in order to allay the fears of those who opposed my election to administrator.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for your support over the past week. I've been blown away by the level of interest taken in my RFA and appreciate the time and energy dedicated by all the editors who have contributed to it, support, oppose and neutral alike. I hope to bump into you again soon and look forward to serving you and Wikipedia in any way I can. Cheers! The Rambling Man 18:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC) (the non-admin, formerly known as Budgiekiller)
