 * Mostly, the misuse of AWB and VP may have shown you as someone who could use tools in unaccepted ways, and there were a few diffs presented by myself and sagacious that showed incivility, so WP:CIVIL and definitely WP:NPA, and perhaps WP:POINT to a degree. ST47 Talk 19:02, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

My RFA

 * ...fly on littlewing. ~ Arjun  19:51, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, your request for comments:
You posted a request on my talk page for me to comment on what you could improve on further since your last RfA. Well firstly, the above (albeit sarcastic humour) notices about balls of fire & signing posts would probably be of some concern to some people at any future RfA. Although I don't particularly have anything against it, some people have been known to oppose for that sort of thing & even for things as mundane as those joke "You have new message" bars at the top of pages. So I'd advise you either to tone it down a little bit or move some portions of it to a subpage based on your Wikipolicies & such where it would be out of the spotlight. It may also be seen as some sort of problem to newbies & such - Don't worry, if there's a problem with anything you do, someone will argue it.

Further, although your edit count it way up, from your edit stats, you seem to make smaller edits to many articles, rather than small & large ones to just one or two. This may seem to some people that you partake in "gnommish" (See WP:Gnome) activities rather than large substantial edits. A testament to this would be the fact that you don't have any GA's or FA's under your belt. Some people could, & quite rightly, argue that you have made no substantial edits to Wikipedia & only make smaller edits that only count as edit count stacking. This may or may not be correct, but I'd suggest that you pick one or two articles & try & make as many edits to them as possible. This way it will show that you can stick to a single project & that you can make meaningful large edits to better a page. Getting an article to GA or FA would do wonders for your future RfA as well.

Other than that, don't forget that quantity is no substitute for quality, so again make sure you don't only stick to gnommish work. So, as you'd probably know, keep your cool in tough situations & keep out of trouble, be civil & helpful & knowledgable about different laws on here & you'll be an admin in no time. It wouldn't hurt socialising around the place too, as the more people you know, the more you're likely to be elected (which is unfortunate, as RfA's are turning into popularity contests nowadays...). I'd have no problem supporting you in a couple of months if you continue on your current track & maybe take into consideration the points I've made above. Have a great day man, :) Spawn Man 22:23, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks - there were opposes last time regarding my talk page, perhaps I'd better remove that. I really don't know where to contribute to article building, I was going to try to grab a few pages and copyedit one of these days. Thanks for your comments and I'll keep them in mind! ST47 Talk 23:04, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Why not pick an article you know a lot about or that you really like. Add a few paragraphs & in your RfA, you can link to them to show that you can add large amounts of writing rather than just small edits here & there. If you can do that, then you can discount all objections raised by people pointing at your large amounts of smaller edits. Hope this helps. Good luck. :) Spawn Man 23:12, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Scouts Musulmans Algériens
Would you please stop reverting this back to Algerian Muslim Scouts. A debate about this has been raging for weeks. I am trying to mediate it. Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scouting/Translations mediation. There is one user who argues strongly that this translation is not verifiable as being used by the organisation. I am hoping we can side step the disagreement by a different solution. I would prefer it if it was left as the French title, which the organisation does actually use, for now. The application of WP guidelines for the naming of scout organisations is not straight forward. Thanks. --Bduke 22:27, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Shortcutting Sir Walterhouse
I'm just about to speedy User:Sir Walterhouse, as there's no original content on the page (it's all copies of articles or other user pages, concatenated) save for a homophobic rant. I've nixed the MfD, since it's unnecessary process for a useless page.

I'll also invite Sir Walterhouse to contribute to the encyclopedia. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 15:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Garion96's RFA
Thank you for your support in my request for adminship which closed successfully last night. Feel free to let me know if I can help you with something or if I have made a mistake. I would also like to encourage you to vote often (just in case you don't) on other candidates since we need more admins. Happy editing, Garion96 (talk) 23:52, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

STBot question
Hi there, I've been working on the article Guigemar, an article that I wrote from scratch. I noticed that your bot had removed the poetry and France stubs from it, and I was a little curious how your bot works. I imagine that it must check the file size, and if it exceeds a certain threshold, the bot removes any stub markers. Anyway, just curious. Thanks. -- Kyok o  14:50, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * You are correct, it is based on length of the article - I think it counts words. ST47 Talk 21:19, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Donald Kraig
I don't mind if you delete that page, and may delete it myself. My entry was based on a spelling error. End of story. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thaddeus Slamp (talk • contribs) 16:02, 15 February 2007 (UTC).

Philip III of France
Listed in April 3 births but has April 30 at the beginning of the article. I would have made corrections but unable to determine (after some web page searching) if it should be the 3rd or the 30th. Can you help? Thanks, Daytrivia 03:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Why did you remove my edit to Tracy Jordan
This information comes from the show broadcast on NBC. BabuBhatt 06:55, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * If the information you added was not relevant, it should not be added. Will (Talk - contribs) 06:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The information was relevant, as it was about the personal life of Tracy Jordan, the subject of the srticle. Is this ST47? or Will? BabuBhatt 07:04, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Who signed? Will (Talk - contribs) 07:09, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Why do you respond this person's talk page?BabuBhatt 07:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I may not know the exact reasoning used, but I can certainly spot one reason. Besides, you can wait for ST47 to drop by and see it, or I can work with you on it now. You might as well get something. Will (Talk - contribs) 07:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I reverted because it looks very much like vandalism, sorry. ST47 Talk 12:15, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
