Military userboxes
While browsing recently created templates, I noticed that you created quite a few military userboxes about the Civil Air Patrol. As a member of the US Military myself (Navy) I know how good it feels to be proud of your rank. Don't worry, this is good--Everyone is encouraged to be BOLD!

I have taken the liberty of transporting all of the Civil Air Patrol userboxes (along with the other military ones) to a separate page, for the rank boxes were taking over the Profession page: Userboxes/Military.

You might note that some of the userboxes have been moved to my userspace at User:PHDrillSergeant/Userboxes/. This is because Userboxes, according to the German Userbox Solution, need to be moved to Userspace or else they risk being deleted. So over the next few weeks you may see more of those moving over there. This is because I volunteered to host military-related userboxes. So if you ever make any more military ones, just create a page under User:PHDrillSergeant/Userboxes (like this: "User:PHDrillSergeant/Userboxes/USMC_e1") and then add it to User:PHDrillSergeant/Userboxes/list.

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, and to your country!

 * RE - No, no, don't get me wrong, The Civil Air Patrol ones did not do the taking over. The Army and Navy rank boxes (which I made a short while back) really took over, and I've been meaning to fix up a new page. If anything, your boxes reminded me of what I needed to do! ~  Porphyric Hemophiliac   §  19:30, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 00:51, 21 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I can't imagine why it would suggest phallus to me for expanding. It's quite capable of doing that on its own, when aroused. - Scetoaux 01:14, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Roflol! Well, all bots seem to have some sort of problems, maybe if you learned what C was you could help fix it :p Well, I know that I'm not expanding on it, not that I can't, just that I'm not....--Cadet hastings 05:39, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:APIcon.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:APIcon.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:APIcon.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:APIcon.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:21, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

RFA
Just so you know there isn't really any chance that your RFA will pass. I would suggest that instead of a RFA that you get an Editor Review. If you need any help in the future contact me, as I also once had an RFA like yours. Cheers -- Chetblong T  C 04:37, 17 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Here's how, RFA Closure. -- Chetblong T  C 05:04, 17 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I would suggests singing up for admin coaching. Cheers, Tiptoety  talk 05:15, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

While I applaud enthusiasm, I'm afraid an editor with < 1000 edits does not yet possess sufficient knowledge/experience to become an admin. Noms with < 1000 edits may find the following advice helpful.
 * Please read WP:Admin
 * Please read the admin reading list.
 * Generally, It has been my experience that it takes at least 3,000 edits in a variety of areas to learn policy and guidelines well enough to attempt adminship. Also, noms returning after an unsuccessful RfA should wait at least another 3,000 edits and 3 months before trying again. Noms need to show the ability to contribute a number of significant edits to build the encyclopedia.
 * The Admin tools allow the user to block and unblock other editors, delete and undelete pages and protect  and unprotect  pages. Noms will therefore do well to gain experience and familiarity with such areas as WP:AIV, WP:AFD, WP:CSD, Protection policy, and WP:BLOCK to learn when to do these things.
 * Adminship inevitably leads one to 1) need to explain clearly the reasons for one's decisions, 2) need to review one's decisions and change one's mind when it is reasonable to do so, 3) need to review one's decisions and stand firm when it is reasonable to do so, 4) need to negotiate a compromise. Admins need a familiarity with dispute resolution. The ability to communicate clearly is essential.
 * My suggestion to any nom with < 1000 edits would be to withdraw and try again in another 3 months and 3000 edits. I recommend taking part in RfA discussions to help learn from the experiences of others. Many noms have found it helpful to obtain an Editor Review before submitting their RfA.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Chetblong 2
Hi. I have removed your comment from this RfA as it was already closed at the time you added it. You probably overlooked the notice at the top of the page. It's great to show your support for an editor whose contributions you feel are valuable to Wikipedia. Perhaps you would instead like to offer congratulations to Chetblong? You can find his talk page over here. Thanks. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:43, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Whoops. Thanks, I completely missed it. scetoaux (talk) (My contributions.) 20:44, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Admin Coaching
Are you sure you want to? I'd be happy, and try to be involved. Is there anything specific that you want to work on? Have you gone up for RfA before? Keilana | Parlez ici 01:23, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I would like to do so. I can't put in very much time on weekdays, but on weekends I'm essentially free.  I went up for RfA, essentially just to get feedback, but I didn't realize that wasn't exactly the best thing to do.  In my request for coaching I stated that I have only ~100 mainspace edits, and less than 300 total edits, so I know I have a long way to go before I could ever be realistically considered for adminship.  My RfA scetoaux (talk) (My contributions.) 01:27, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I would recommend an editor review at some point soon as well, they are quite useful. You do have a long way to go, but I'm happy to work with you. You may want to also look at this for some typical RfA standards. You're quite an enthusiastic new editor, and we're quite happy to have you on the project. Keilana | Parlez ici 01:32, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Merci beaucoup. (I'm guessing you speak French by your talk page link in your sig?) scetoaux (talk) (My contributions.) 01:34, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I speak French to a degree. You don't need to use talkback, I'll keep an eye on your talk page for now. Have you done any anti-vandalism work? Keilana | Parlez ici 01:56, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I've done some reverts, and just recently added a Template:Uw-npa1 to an anonymous user's talk page for an attack they made on another member. scetoaux (talk) (My contributions.) 02:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Would requesting rollback be a good idea at this time? scetoaux (talk) (My contributions.) 02:17, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Re
I reverted it because I noticed Keilana had already made you a plausible offer. Sorry for any confusion. I meant to undo it, but my finger slipped. Nousernamesleft copper, not wood 20:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Admin coaching request
You have previously expressed an interest in undergoing the Admin coaching program. We're currently engaged in a program reset to help things move more smoothly in the future. If you are still interested in the program, please go to Admin coaching/Requests for Coaching and re-list yourself under Current requests, deleting your entry from Older requests. Also, double-check to make sure coaching is right for you at theCoachee checklist; WP:Adoption or WP:Editor review may be more appropriate depending on your situation and aspirations. We should get back to you within a day or so, once a coaching relationship has been identified. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 07:03, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
