RfA Nomination
I had to scroll down to edit the page... but...  Minimac would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then [ contact Minimac] to accept or decline the nomination. A page for your nomination at Requests for adminship/NerdyScienceDude. If you accept the nomination, you must state and sign your acceptance. You may also choose to make a statement and/or answer the optional questions to supplement the information your nominator has given. Once you are satisfied with the page, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so. Minima c  ( talk ) 07:41, 1 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I would advise against accepting this nomination NDS. You're a great editor and I'm friends with you on here but you have had some serious red flags in the past few weeks/months that will make me vote Neutral. (I'll not oppose you as you have potential and I cannot bear myself to do so) Now is simply not the time to think of Adminship my friend and I suggest that when you do think that you are ready, ask another admin that you know like HJ and see what he thinks. He may even nominate you in a few months :) All the best,-- White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 10:18, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I have declined the nomination. You're welcome to ask again in a few months, but I'll probably have a better nominator. Best, ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  13:22, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I've deleted the page so that any future RfA will appear as your first. FWiW, I think declining was probably the wise choice. Christmas might be a good time to start thinking about adminship. If you want to be an admin (and you shouldn't see it a s a natural progression or a "career move"), I'm sure you'll do a good job in the future, but I don't think you're ready yet. Best, HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   13:38, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, just letting you know if you give RfA another thought in the future, feel free to ask me whatever questions you might have. I sorta owe you one anyway, your email is what snapped me out of a funk and got me back on Wikipedia again after my absence. --  At am a  頭 23:32, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * If any questions come up, I will ask. I'm glad you decided to return. I was looking back at some of things I did a year ago as an IP, and probably the largest was when we first met and started the Hottrix article. I'm now looking at going for adminship in December depending on how things go. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  02:09, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Table Idea
Could you help me think of a table for the Manufacturer's section on 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series? I can't think of one. I'm not that creative.  Nascar  1996   19:24, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I can't really think of one either at the moment. I'm sure I'll come up with something. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  02:10, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay. Right now I have put a sustitute (posssibly permanat if we cant think of something) table in the location.  Nascar  1996   02:15, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Emotion Toolbar
Hi NSD. I was wondering if you could add File:718smiley.svg to your emotion toolbar thing. Thanks. Pilif12p : Yo  00:23, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

October drive
Sorry, guys. The wikification drive has been bumped to October. You might have noticed already, however. I'm amazed how many people came on as soon as I sent out the invite. With a few more, we can easily meet our goal. Just remember. Concentrate your firepower on the 2008 articles, and you should have no problems. Great work! Also, if you have time, please also invite other users to participate. Thanks!

Hey there NDS! For the last round of the WikiCup, feel like reviewing this article of mine (ours) for a GA? It's been up for over a month and I think that no one will get to it in time for me to claim points on it. Feel free to reply on my TP or this page :) All the best,-- White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 20:47, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * If your hampered with other work IWL and IRL, feel free to chuck the burden on me. I'll be happy to work through one of these mercahnt ship articles. Buggie111 (talk) 23:56, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * @White Shadows - My initials are NSD, though it could be a typo. As far as the GAN goes, I've left a review. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  02:12, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry about that. I misinterpreted your initial! Thanks for the review. I'll be chucking a few more U-boat articles in you guy's direction in a bit!-- White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 10:17, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Here is another one for ya! SMS Tegetthoff. I would have sent it to Buggie but he has made a few edits to it :)-- White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 22:10, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * You don't have to do the other GAN but can you finish up on the trawler? I need to get on the board with the Wikicup! :)-- White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 20:42, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

I have passed the GAN. I will review SMS Tegetthoff sometime in the next few days. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  01:07, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Now I have to go and nominate it :)-- White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 01:09, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

SMS Prinz Eugen and SMS Tegetthoff
feeling up for two quick GANs? I think they met all the criteria but that's up to you :)-- White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 18:36, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * They look the same to me. Face-tongue.svg Sure, I'll review it. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  22:07, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * My bad! I posted the other one :)-- White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 22:22, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I will review the second one after I review the first one. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  22:49, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

I was looking at it and thiking about sending it to GAN just yesterday. I'll try and fix most probs that arrise. Buggie111 (talk) 13:39, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I just finished the converts, which was the biggest problem that arose during the last GAN. I'm sure White Shadows would also like to help in fixing the article. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  13:42, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

although
...it was just a vote, one vote in my RfA, it meant a lot to me. thanks Nerdy (I know we've already exchanged notes on my talk page on this; but just thought I'll leave another personal note). Sincerely.  Wifione    .......  Leave a message  08:10, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Man. I remember when I took H Alg. in 7th grade. Not fun. Good luck in it :) It's ok if you have other things to do. I'll wait.-- White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 22:56, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi NSD. I see you're using Huggle - how is it? Thought you're on a Macintosh, so how are you using Huggle (Windows computer, Wine, VM, etc.)? Just curious, because I tried it out on a Windows XP virtual machine (now deleted as it was taking up too much space, I hardly used it, and was slow) and it was really powerful when compared to the current version of igloo. Airplaneman  ✈  04:33, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Huggle is awesome! I carry it on a flash drive, and I use it when I come across a Windows computer, such as when I'm at school. It is way more powerful than igloo. I will continue using igloo on my Mac. Now let's just hope a Mac version of Huggle is made. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  13:02, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool! I will think of doing that as well, although I do not think my school allows this. Thanks, Airplaneman   ✈  22:39, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Do all the Windows computers at your school have the .NET framework? I tried that last year, but it was XP, and didn't carry .NET with it. We're a Mac school.  Allmightyduck</B>  <B>&#xF8FF;</B> </SPAN> What did I do wrong?  02:43, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing they do, since Huggle works. They run Windows XP Professional. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  02:46, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, the only usable Windows boxes are the search computers in our library, which probably aren't that intended to run applications. <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #0000FF"> <B>Allmightyduck</B>  <B>&#xF8FF;</B> </SPAN> What did I do wrong?  02:48, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
