Thanks
Thanks to everyone who congratulated me on my RfA; I appreciate it! Nousernamesleft copper, not wood 14:17, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Congrats (and thanks for the LOL re your thankyou) ... Re the point below, there's no pressure to sign up for recall, it's a voluntary system and many admins (including myself) have not done so. Orderinchaos 14:51, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Congrats! I hope you know that I voted in good faith, it is just that all users were bothering me and giving me a hard time for voting the way I did that made me insist on keeping it, which might unfair to you. Anyway, no hard feelings?

A man of honour (talk) 18:53, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes!....hm.... NO!.....hm... maybe?
Hello, It will be a good sign if you make yourself open to recall, and since you intend to continue the same level of high quality contributions, you should have no problem at all. I am slightly leaning towards a "yes".... Whatever you choose, I am sure it will be wise.. &Lambda;ua&int; Wi  se  (Operibus anteire) 14:38, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Again "Whatever you choose, I am sure it will be wise.." :)

Re: Failed GA article
I interpreted the questions differently. In any aspect, the article has still failed, due to the lack of information to support the subject. I am sorry for my misinterpretation on the actual meaning of the questions, and will use the information you have supplied to judge other articles. I will pass your article if you are to expand and add some more information on the subject, and also add some more pictures to help identify the article and its content. Happy Editing,  D u s t i talk to me 16:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Failed GA article
Ok, let me look at the article again and I will let you know. Thanks for the bar :)....I thought it was a good idea. Kudo's to you!!! Happy Editing,  D u s t i talk to me 18:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, to start off with, is there any more information about the IMO that you can put into the article? Meaning, more information about the group or historical information, to lenghten the article? Also, can you find any pictures of IMO in progress or something to make the article a little more lively? Happy Editing,  D u s t i talk to me 18:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Good job on the pictures, now, is there any more information that can possibly be added to the article? Happy Editing,  D u s t i talk to me 18:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Message you left me.
I noticed you left a message on my talk page, but reverted it. I hope you don't mind my answering your question here, because it was a good question that I do wish to address. The answer is that yes, I know my editing has been sparse and drawn out, but time permitting I do hope to contribute more regularly. scetoaux (talk) (My contributions.) 20:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

actually...
There are a multitude of usernames left, let me know if you need any help selecting one. --Niyant (talk) 00:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Cheer up, just because you were the last one to sign up here, and by default the 'rotten egg' doesn't mean you have to express such sadness.--Niyant (talk) 04:24, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * crappy t-shirt*** lol . --Niyant (talk) 23:56, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

You did all of that? :)
Did you really post all these "thank you for !voting" messages manually? &Lambda;ua&int; Wi  se  (Operibus anteire) 09:23, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Opps, I almost forgot, here you go: [[Image:Admin T-shirt.svg|thumb|:)]]

RE: RfA thanks
Hello Nousernamesleft! Hope you're working well with your new mop. :) It seems your thankspam has stretched out my talk page. Would you mind taking a look and seeing if you can fix it? Thanks in advance. GlassCobra 05:06, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Close, but no cigar. Turns out the thousand pixel picture was the problem. I got it though, thank you for looking! GlassCobra 18:28, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Admin coaching
Actually I put it there so that one day if I apply for admin, I can say that I tried to get coached. I would not mind you coaching me; some tips here or there will not harm anyone. Thanks! &Lambda;ua&int; Wi  se  (Operibus anteire) 17:17, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I noticed you match me with yourself on the coaching page, I did not expect to get a response that fast...The page is so backlogged.
 * Regarding the subpage, I do not know. You are the coach, you decide for me ;) The school is exhausting my brain that I can not longer think properly. I do not think a whole subpage is needed nonetheless, I am not that new to WP anyway (or new for that matter.
 * So, what is your first tip? :)
 * &Lambda;ua&int; Wi  se  (Operibus anteire) 17:30, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * &Lambda;ua&int; Wi  se  (Operibus anteire) 17:30, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem, I will reply here if you do not mind.
 * I have all of them (TW+AWB+VP), although I do not use the latter.
 * SO, here is a brief summary of what I did on WP:


 * I fight vandals, patrol new pages, recent changes.
 * I work for WP:GL from time to time. Also I work for WikiProject neutrality and WikiProject Spam. More recently, I have intensified my efforts to get this WikiProject into shape.
 * I copyedit, review GA article nominees, and vote at RfA's, AfD's and FPC's.
 * 2.7 K of edits, 1K mainspace edits.
 * 1 GA so far, but I am pretty sure the other article which is being reviewed right now will pass, then i will go for an FA.
 * hmm, what else? oh, yes.. I have been welcoming new users since my first days on WP.
 * I intend to use the tools to protect and delete pages, block vandals instead of reporting them, and delete pictures...also some at the DYK area will help the folks there.
 * Cheers!
 * &Lambda;ua&int; Wi  se  (Operibus anteire) 17:50, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Great tips. As for welcoming users, I do not believe I welcome a great number of them. It's just that recently I have been testing templates and user Java scripts to reach the perfect combination to allow a fast personalized customized welcome, which I finally did today...working with mgactions only made me realize that working with WP DOM is really difficult. Now, I can place a Welcome in less than 2 seconds..the script I am using is the simplest thing I came with.
 * By the way, do you think violates any policy and I should move it to a user subpage? I have found absolutely nothing against it so far.
 * I will use WP:Snow more in the future...
 * I have to go now, I have like a 60 page Physics homework due tomorrow, I'd better start writing now.
 * So, thanks for coaching me today and for the tips....
 * &Lambda;ua&int; Wi  se  (Operibus anteire) 18:10, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello!
 * Give me a couple of days.. At the beginning I did not use the "subst" thing so this will cause some problems with transclusion. I will move it once I finish putting "subst" into all user talk pages with this template.
 * I agree with you, but I really found nothing that says it must be general for it to keep its name.
 * Cheers!
 * &Lambda;ua&int; Wi  se  (Operibus anteire) 18:28, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello coach!
 * I did start a subpage and put the questions there, I have not answered all (3) of them! I am working on it.
 * Yes, I finished substing the template, and then I moved it to a user subpage. A BOT will take care of the page, links, redirects, etc.
 * &Lambda;ua&int; Wi  se  (Operibus anteire) 15:24, 22 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello!
 * When it comes to mainspace editing, I tend to edit scientific articles, Biology and Physics in particular.However, I shy away from articles related to literature; not my area really. You might have also noticed that I have a particular interest in I.Q. and its effects.
 * If needs to, I edit articles related to WikiProjects I am involved in (recently WP:IRAQ and WP:KOSOVO) and articles concerned with schools.
 * I am open to other areas, but the above constitutes interests.
 * What is the assignment anyway? This feels like a job interview where I have to give correct answers to get the job... :)
 * &Lambda;ua&int; Wi  se  (Operibus anteire) 08:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

(Outdent) Sorry about the talkpage, I will have Misza bot clean it for me. By the way, we can use this subpage for conversation to get some "privacy". The assignment is a challenge given my lack of interest in history, but I like challenges and will do my best there. (You used your BOT to come up with this assignment, right? I am guessing because my recent history might reflect my interest in WikiProject Iraq but it also shows that I very rarely edit an Iraq-related article) With 356 members, this  project is extremely popular among wikipedians. Many Sysops are part of this project. I think you should however consider how much help you can offer there, I have always thought of you as a person who is interested primarily in maths and maths history, so I am understandably surprised to find you interested in an area that can not be described as not being dissimilar to maths. I personally like to help projects which really need help, projects that experience no progress in months.....
 * Anyways Nousernamesleft Peter, Cheers! :)
 * &Lambda;ua&int; Wi  se  (Operibus anteire) 14:43, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry, I haven't been on lately. Yes, I gratefully accept your offer, and I'll definitely be on quite often during the month of March. Redmarkviolinist Drop me a line 15:05, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Research on the RFA process
Hello, I am an anthropology student researching the Wikipedia Requests for adminship procedure. As you recently completed this process, I was wondering if you would be willing to answer a few quick questions.


 * Do you believe that the current RFA process is an effective way of selecting admins?
 * Do you notice a difference between users who are nominated vs selfnoms?
 * Is a week an appropriate length for process? Should it perhaps be longer or shorter?
 * Do you think the user's status in the community changes while the user is undergoing the RFA process? How about after the RFA process is over?

If you are willing, please leave your answers on my talk page or e-mail them to me.

This research will not be published academically, as this research is primarily to demonstrate the feasibility of doing online ethnography in online only communities such as Wikipedia, though I intend to make my findings available on Wiki. Your name will not be associated with any information you provide in any published work. If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you. --Cspurrier (talk) 18:40, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Admin Coaching Re-confirmation
Hello, previously you expressed interest in participating in the Admin coaching project. We are currently conducting a reconfirmation drive to give coaches the opportunity to update their information and capacity to participate in the project. Please visit Admin coaching/Status to update your status and move your entry to the Active list. Also, please remember to update your capacity (5th table variable) in the form of a fraction (eg. 2/3 means you are currently coaching 2 students, and could accept 1 more student). Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 09:28, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I know, you were the last one to add and now I ask you to go back and do it again. Sorry!  Couldn't think of another way to make sure everyone listed a capacity.  MBisanz  talk 15:12, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Your ER
Hi, I'm working on the backlog at WP:ER, and your empty review from December is at the bottom. Are you still interested in getting reviewed? If you don't still need a review, it would lighten the load to archive it, but of course if you do still want one, I'm glad to do it, probably in the next couple days. Let me know. Peace, delldot on a public computer   talk  10:35, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

hehehe
So I think my latest idea is the best yet, check out my user page-- Pewwer42 Talk  06:21, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Its a stick dude vandalizing and another reverting the vandalism. then he is asking people to help fight vandalism and the "the more you know" is a joke on an NBC thing.-- Pewwer42 Talk  00:23, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

usually helps :P-- Pewwer42 Talk  00:43, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations
Go Peter! Good job! The AMC 12 does not matter now! I think you will be a good admin. By the way, what's with the shirt? And what should I make edits to?TheDoctor80 (talk) 21:57, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Scripts
I'm not sure what did that, it could be the reflist format being used? Keilana | Parlez ici 03:07, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, there's reflist and 2, I'm not really sure either. You could always try removing scripts one at a time and seeing which fixes it, that's what I usually do when something breaks. Keilana | Parlez ici 03:26, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles Newsletter
The March 2008 issue of the WikiProject Good Articles Newsletter is ready! Dr. Cash (talk) 06:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello
Why didn't you tell me you were an admin when we were talking about the GA article? Sorry if I offended you by failing the article. If you relist it, I will review it, and it will most likely pass since you added the pictures, that was really the only issue with it. Also, how can I edit the main page? Just a question.
