Thoughts from User:Pedro
Seems to be a total no brainer that Dravecky needs the tools. Deleted contributions shows how much time could be saved if he had the bit. This is self evidently a commited Wikipedian who needs the bit purely for maintenace (as opposed to vandal whacking etc.) I think one question that's allways pertinent is - Why would your RFA not pass?. If Dravecky can think of several good reasons don't run. If not I'd be pleased to offer a co-nomination. Pedro : Chat  10:15, 24 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Add your co-nomination to User:Davidwr/RFA-Dravecky and I'll move the page over when I do the RFA later today or tomorrow. He's already indicated acceptance, so I doubt he sees any reason he'll be denied.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  15:33, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * One thing - are you intending to cut and paste this into the proper RFA format? You can't transclude as is. Pedro : Chat  15:37, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The plan was to move to Requests_for_adminship/Dravecky, edit-in-place so it meets transclusion requirements, then transclude. This will preserve the edit history.  If this won't work or is undesirable, let me know.  It's important that if anyone but me adds content, it shows up in the edit history "by them."  If copy-and-paste is the way to go, we should coordinate times so you add your text immediately after I create the RfA.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  15:44, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * On a related matter, is there any reason I should or should not move this talk page? I can see merits both ways.  Not moving it makes it look like there's something to hide, but providing pre-live discussion on RfA talk pages is not the norm. Your thoughts? davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  15:47, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

If you move it then the formatting will be wrong, the bots won't pick everything up and editors will not get the links they expect. Create the RFA using

then cut and paste your nomination over. Then I can add mine. I'd simply reference this page somewhere in your nomination if you like. Cut and paste may not be ideal but we need the templates and as it's only you there is no GFDL to worry about. Pedro : Chat  16:06, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Going live
I created Requests for adminship/Dravecky. After Pedro fills it in, I'll transclude it and "officially" notify Dravecky, so he can "officially" accept and start the clock. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  20:22, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
