University Painters
Majorly, thank you for your help on the University Painters entry. It's pretty blatent and desperate vandalism by the CEO himself if you ask me. So thanks once again. Oh by the way, where does it go from here? Is the page protected forever? Sorry I'm still learning the back-end of wiki.209.190.55.139 19:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The page is protected until someone unprotects it - I didn't set a limit.  Majorly  (talk) 20:32, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

If you could...
I'd like your feedback at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship. Consensus seems to have shifted towards this being helpful, but I'd still like have all the bases covered. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 16:02, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Not interested - that sort of thing is why I've cut down here. My opinion is not cared for. As a liberalist would say, it's the tyranny of the majority that makes RFAs suck.  Majorly  (talk) 19:54, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Eh, fair enough. Still thought it would only be fair to ask. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 06:08, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed, thanks for telling me, I appreciate the thought :)  Majorly  (talk) 19:10, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikimania 2008/Conference of the Americas
Hello, As you may or may not know, Alexandria, Egypt was selected to host Wikimania 2008. So as to prevent the hard work of the many Wikimedians involved in the Atlanta bid from going to waste, we have decided to host a conference for the Americas. This is in no way an attempt to compete with Wikimania or make a statement against Wikimania.

As one of the people signed up to help with the Wikimania Atlanta bid, we hope you will join us at the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas. We will be having a meeting tonight in IRC tonight (Oct 15) at 9:30PM in #cota-atlanta on irc.freenode.org to discuss the conference. For more information about IRC see.

For more information about the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas see http://www.cota-atlanta.org and our wiki http://www.cota-atlanta.org/wiki.

If you do not wish to receive further notices about the COTA please remove your name from our notify list. --Cspurrier 20:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Cheadle Hulme High School
Hey, you removed a speedy from this article. While the speedy was in error, you are the original and primary contributer to this article, and so you should not be the one to remove it. The admin that saw it next would obviously deny it. I presume you already knew this, but I thought I'd point it out again. As a side note &mdash; I'm glad you haven't left entirely. i said 19:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Cheadle Hulme High School
Cheadle Hulme High School, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Cheadle Hulme High School satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Cheadle Hulme High School& and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). You are free to edit the content of Cheadle Hulme High School during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Voxpuppet (talk • contribs) 11:33, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Majorly. I understand now that CSD A7 doesn't apply to schools but, not only was it a little questionable for you, as the original creator of the article, to remove the tag, but to do so without giving any explanation seems rather unfair: it certainly fails WP:CIVIL horribly.--Voxpuppet (talk • contribs) 11:37, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It does apply to schools when they are obvious speedy candidates. This is obviously not - it has several references that backup notability. And furthermore, it's been around over a year. To simply tag it as A7 is ridiculous. If you'd bothered to do an internet search, you'd have found further evidence of notability. I reverted your poor decision just in case an admin happened to agree with you. It looks like the AFD is going for keep so far though. Better luck next time, and try to do a little more research before tagging well established articles for deletion. Good day.  Majorly  (talk) 12:47, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Rudget RfA
Dearest Supporter, Thank you for your participation in my RFA, which closed unsuccessfully with 39 supports, 15 oppose, and 1 neutral. I would have liked to gain some experience of being an admin, but it wasn't to be. At least I gained some valuable time there and will use my knowledge picked up to my next candidacy. I would like to say once again, thank you for voting and I hope to see you at my next request be it a nomination or self-induced, I hope I don't get as many questions!
 * P.S - I like your comment :)

RFA question
Can a vote in a RFA be discarded?  Pat <sup style="color:#000000;">Politics rule!  16:51, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Why do you ask?  Majorly  (talk) 16:53, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It is under discussion in the RFA of Hdt83.  Pat <sup style="color:#000000;">Politics rule!  16:55, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I have expanded. I added that he has applied 4 times. I do not base on edit count, but should have added at the beginning that he has applied 4 time in 6 months.  Pat <sup style="color:#000000;">Politics rule!  17:06, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Your whole rationale is edit count.  Majorly  (talk) 17:07, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

WP:COOL
Hey, sorry I lost my cool back there. That wasn't acceptable, either, but I really wasn't expecting this notice. Your comment has definately been noted and I have stopped. I hope (inspite of my meltdown) you don't consider me as a vandal, troll, spammer, or an otherwise harmful user to the project. I hope this is all behind us.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. 01:00, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Village pump: Anonymous page creation
I'd like to remind you that the reenabling of anonymous page creation is temporary (a month) so deleting AFC would be premature. Also, I think AFC would have a life even if it sticks: it could be a place where people with limited experience can post their efforts and receive comments to lower the chance of speedy deletion affecting their entries. Also, I don't think comparing en-Wikipedia with any other wikis is accurate when this issue is concerned. English Wikipedia is the largest wiki in existence and anything here is on a scale many times larger than on any other wiki. A mere glance at WP:AFC shows that a majority of the entries are still declined and reenabling anonymous page creation will allow all that to seep into the mainspace. Result: Unsuitable entries that any could cleanup are now exclusive admin terrain and even worse, if they're not technically speediable, they also cause unneccesary work at AFD.

Unless I can get a bot running to help me counter floods of crap material with minimal clicking, I'm not even going to bother with newpages patrol or deletion when this happens. An extended month-long wikibreak would be a lot less stressful. - Mgm|(talk) 12:44, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * No, it's permanent unless there are significant problems with it. Maybe AFC will continue, maybe not. My opinion still stands. I can compare, as it is the same principle. Maybe admins should work harder if there's bad articles "seeping" in. If they aren't technically speediable, then why does it matter? If you don't want to do it, don't. There are plenty of others who will.  Majorly  (talk) 13:21, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Qst
Hey Majorly ;) I've left a comment at User talk:Qst, regarding the dispute at Requests for adminship/Gurch 2. I'd like to apologise here, on behalf of Qst. As you'll understand, he's still settling in to Wikipedia and, although I hope he develops this skill fairly soon, he is still re-adjusting to the skills of calm and reasoned discussion.

I hope you can forget about this incident, and give him another chance?

My recent RfA
Thank you for participating in my recent RfA. Although the voting ended at 36/22/5, there was no consensus to promote, and the RfA was unsuccessful. I would like the thank you nonetheless for supporting me during the RfA, and hope that any future RfA’s proceed better than this one did. Again, I thank you for your support. ≈ <font color="#8000FF">The Haunted Angel  Review Me! 02:15, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Remove per subject request?
Hi, I am confused by this edit. Can you please explain the reason? The link in the edit summary leaves me with a login page. (Perhaps an elaboration on the article's talk page is needed, I'm not sure.) -- Pepve 13:30, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It's because the text was incorrect. The login page is from the OTRS system for Wikipedia, that the band emailed and complained to.  Majorly  (talk) 14:40, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for explaining this to me, I wouldn't have figured it. -- Pepve 16:19, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Requests for adminship/LaraLove
It looks like you removed my oppose post on this RfA. Could you restore it, please?--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. 19:13, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, completely unintentional.  Majorly  (talk) 19:18, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No worries.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. 19:48, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * But aren't you supposed to strike and indent your removed oppose, rather than just take it out?--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. 20:35, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Or does it not matter?--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. 20:48, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * People can do it as they like.  Majorly  (talk) 21:50, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I was only asking because I did that same thing, and it was re-enstated, striken and intented. But I'm sure people can do what they want, though.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. 22:08, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

IRC
Hey Majorly, I saw that you removed my request from WP:WEA, but I haven't been invited yet. I'm registered with NickServ as east718 and cloaked as wikipedia/east718.

 * Nope, still not working. Looks like Sean Whitton hasn't gotten around to cloaking me yet, I'm still  . Regards, <small style="background:#fff;border:#ccc 1px solid;color:#000;padding:0px 3px 1px 4px;white-space:nowrap">east<big style="color:#090">. 718 at 01:13, 11/4/2007
