Nominated! WP:RFA/Mikeblas
Hi Mikeblas, per your agreeing through email to try out RFA, I've now nominated you at Requests for adminship/Mikeblas. You can accept whenever you're ready, or if you want you can participate in other people's RFAs to get the hang of it first. The starting point for finding out about adminship and the nomination process is at Guide to requests for adminship. When you're ready, to officially accept the nomination, say so on the page (and write a statement if you wish), answer the questions, edit the closing time to reflect when you accepted, and add your entry to the top of WP:RFA. The main advice I usually give to nominees is to remain calm in the face of opposition and avoid responding confrontationally, but I think you don't need this advice. Good luck! —Quarl (talk) 2007-04-02 11:01Z

Smokey Yunick
Mikeblas, hope you don't mind that I deleted your Unref tag in the Smokey Yunick, Legacy section. After reviewing the recent edits, the most questionable stuff in Legacy was part of an anonymous editor's rambling comments about the IRS (or something — they used the prose style of someone on a few beers in a chat room). Anyway, the Legacy section in now reverted to the previous level of hearsay and the whole page has a Unref tag so I hope that will do? --With regards, Charles Gaudette 07:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No worries! I wanted to mark the IRS claim as unreferenced because it is a rather serious claim. But I hadn't noticed the whole article had been tagged . -- Mikeblas 15:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Template:pnc nominated for deletion
See Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Template:pnc for the discussion, which will certainly spill over into larger issues. Your thoughts would be appreciated. --Kevin Murray 23:19, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Hardee's
The material about the franchise stuff I researched from the lobby displays of vintage franchise material displayed by the management of the Chipley, Florida store, and I have cited that in the references. The grill-cleaning is personal experience as an employee and the ads were material I was exposed to working in the Fort Walton Beach, Florida franchise owned by William Bowles. The menu of 1964 was copied off of a photo of the original store which dated to the early 1960s, posted in the modernized Chipley restaurant dining room.

 * Thanks for your response! I've reverted the grill-cleaning edit as OR and POV. The article has plenty of problems with very and non-existent references. I think it's best to resolve those issues before adding any more unreferenced or original material. -- Mikeblas 19:22, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Fans of X-Rated Entertainment
I've expanded the article in question with an awards section citing a number of secondary sources. Care to look again? --AnonEMouse (squeak) 17:29, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you have explained the notability of the organization and provided references. The article looks much better now! -- Mikeblas 19:18, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Caps
It is an agreed convention on Wikipedia that all bird species names are fully capped. jimfbleak 15:03, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I ended up finding WikiProject_Birds, which is where the guideline is documented. It seems rather awkward, but I guess it's not worth changing at this point. Thanks for writing about it! -- Mikeblas 15:13, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Adminship
Hi Mikeblas, I think you would make a good administrator on the English Wikipedia. Any interest? —Quarl (talk) 2007-02-14 05:30Z  — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Quarl 04:01, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
