RFA
I see you have declined a nomination previously for reasons which have hopefully passed; if that is in fact the case, I would like to nominate you. Would you consider accepting a nomination for adminship? -- Renesis (talk) 22:13, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Newyorkbrad's RfA
Thank you for your support on my RfA, which closed favorably this morning, as well as for your kind comments accompanying your !vote and for your suggestion that I should seek adminship a couple of months ago. I appreciate the confidence the community has placed in me and am looking forward to my new responsibilities. Please let me know if ever you have any comments or suggestions, especially as I am learning how to use the tools. Best regards, Newyorkbrad 20:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for fixing my problem!!!

Well...
...this is somewhat illuminating. I think Mykungfu may have switched ISPs, since he's so willing to undergo a checkuser (which very seldom cooked up a positive on him anyway, since he was always editing via AOL). Anyway, I declined the second request - this is a no-doubter. Anyway, MKF is de facto permabanned, so I wouldn't say he should get that much rope, but that's just my opinion. | Mr. Darcy talk 04:34, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Template categories
FYI, when you added categories to Template:adw, Template:AFDWarning, and Template:AFDNote, you didn't place the categories inside of a block. The result is that a number of user talk pages are now included in CAT:UWT ... which is not a good thing. ;) I have fixed these three templates, but if there are any other templates that you have edited, you may want to fix them, too. --BigDT 01:43, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Portal:Ice hockey
I noticed that you have, in the past, been active in updating this portal. Are you still interested in collaborating on it? We at WP:HOCKEY have requested that our project banner be updated to link there instead of the Sports and Games portal, so I anticipate a lot more activity at the Ice hockey portal. --Mus Musculus 15:58, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

My RfA
Hi Joe,

I just would like to thank you for your support in my recent request for adminship, which passed with a final tally of 54/13/11. I appreciate the trust expressed by members of the community, and will do my best to uphold it.

Naturally, I am still becoming accustomed to using the new tools, so if you have suggestions or feedback, or need anything please let me know. - Gilliam 21:37, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Replied
Hi - I left a (belated) reply to your message on my talk page. Happy editing! --ZimZalaBim (talk) 03:45, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

World Team of the 20th Century
Hi there! I was taking a look at this article and I saw Beckenbauer (1972, 76), Di Stefano (56-57, 59), Garrincha (1962) and Pelé (1958, 60-61, 63-65, 67-70) awarded as World Soccer Players. However I can't find this info in this article nor in World Soccer official website. Actually it seems the selection for this award begun in 1982. Would you mind telling where did you find that info? Regards —Lesfer (t/c/@) 18:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm; that's a quite fine question and one to which I can't readily find an answer. I haven't much of a clue as to whence I got the  information as regards the pre-1982 World Soccer awards&mdash;I'm inclined to think I meant to reference another award but don't know which&mdash;but I'll look into it a bit and get back to you and edit the article directly.  Thanks for catching my ostensible (and confusing) error!  Cheers, Joe 00:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Having found no source at all for the pre-1982 awards, I removed them from the award enumeration. I remain altogether perplexed as to what in the world I might have thought, but you are, to be sure, quite right; thanks once more for the diligence. :) Joe 05:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem! I was just curious :) —Lesfer (t/c/@) 17:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Comment on ST47 RfA
Hey man, I'd just like to follow up on something you said in your oppose !vote.

I am, as others, profoundly troubled by the candidate's conduct during the pendency of this RfA; even as I imagine most (all?) of his comments to be jocular in nature, I wonder whether one evidences good judgment by his repeatedly making comments that are likely to be misunderstood by many (most?) other editors, such that, the malhumor of those editors notwithstanding, the collegial collaboration on which the success of our undertakings here depends is likely to be imperiled.

He's argumentatively and obnoxiously responded to a huge number of oppose voters in this RfA. While discussion on oppose votes is all well and good (I'm doing it here), he's taken it to extremes. I get the impression that he's extremely bitter that the RfA isn't going his way... I don't get any hint of humor or "jocularity" in his comments. Which makes me kind of surprised that you do. In fact, it seems to be upsetting him so much that he has taken to erasing oppose votes from his RfA. – Lantoka  (talk) 20:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)
Hi, seeing you are interested in football this is an invitation to contribute to this discussion to clarify certain issues about football player notability. I think clearer guidelines are needed to avoid repeated inappropriate nominations for deletion and time consuming discussions. Cheers! StephP 20:07, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Portal:American football
Hi! I'll look into the time-variable format you're inserting, I re-inserted the NYG History article and Rex Grossman articles as I selected them less than a week ago. I guess you missed the quotes I selected. Feel free to comment on the article's talk page. Quadzilla99 06:53, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I think the hooks should follow the same guideline as the ones for the main page, see here. I'm sure you're already familiar with the guideliens there, I'm going to try to shorten them up tomorrow. Quadzilla99 07:52, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I reverted your changes to the portal NYG History article, mainly because they contained numerous run-on sentences. We need to work together on this but the editing style you prefer isn't in use at any featured portal or the main page. Also a pic doesn't need to be mentioned in the lead-in, see here, also the pic showed the field in baseball form. In additon, the two versions were both exactly 313 words according to Dr. Pda's prose size script. Quadzilla99 11:06, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * As a matter of fact the [x] (pictured) format is never used on the main page, see here, even when the item in the photo isn't obvious the photo is never referenced in the lead-in. Quadzilla99 11:09, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * As far as the sentences, which are the main problem, see here. Quadzilla99 11:28, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I commented there basically stating what I stated here. We also need to decide how we are going to choose articles and such. Quadzilla99 17:10, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I was going to comment on what you said on my talk page (before you removed it). I kind of expected it. I would be amazed if someone wasn't upset considering our interactions, I did basically undid everything you did to those two sections and gave you what amounted to a little lecture (which I could have worded better). You're only human, so I understand you getting upset. I would probably have been much more upset if it happened to me. The basic thng is the sentence length, some sentences were 65 words long or longer. They're very hard to read and digest. If you could just use some more periods, I think we'd be fine.
