User talk:Sharkface217/Archive4

re: FP review
Don't know what happened there, I don't copy and paste, and I usually double or triple-check to make sure I'm quoting the right person. Maybe I was up too late? :-) Anyways, thanks for the heads-up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clegs (talk • contribs) 20:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Essays
Hi Sharkface. There is no set namespace for essays, however, they are generally either placed in the Wikipedia: namespace, or as a subpage of your user space (i.e. User:Sharkface217/Essay name). When you create the essay page, make sure to add essay to the top of the page, to ensure that visitors know that it is an essay, and also categorises it into Category:Wikipedia essays so the essay can then be found easily and referred to in the future. Take care,  Sebi  [talk] 06:05, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Barnie
Thank you very much. Your user page is very similar to mine. Did we both hit on a good format, or should I feel flattered? If the latter, I'm delighted. If the former, well... great minds, eh? :-) --Dweller 07:06, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Adminship
I see your editor review's been going a looong time. Ready to move on towards adminship? Next (though not essential) step is admin coaching. Interested? --Dweller 07:21, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Good answer. When you're ready, knock on my door. --Dweller 09:01, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello
Hello, you don't know me but I saw you were one of the top user talk contributions of the now missing Ronbo76, do you have any idea what happened to him? His last contribution was on 21 April 2007. Feel free to respond here or my talk page. Thanks.IvoShandor 08:04, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Nice job finding my secret page, you forgot to get the barnstar you earned, and you should try a game I made called the 42 Game. If you get the answer right, you get a barnstar on the correct page. E fansay---T / C /Sign Here Please 09:02, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you
What a surprise! Thank you for my barnstar, my first ever. I shall shine it and polish it and treasure it. But I'm curious. How did you come across me? And why on earth are they called barnstars? Jasper33 09:19, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Isn't Wikipedia great? Thanks to you I've just had a coffeetime nugget on German and German-American architectural decorations. Well I never. I thought they might be tiny tinny sheriff's badge type things. Jasper33 09:35, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Tie beams are held by boring old iron discs or crosses round here. Sounds much more interesting round your neck of the woods.  We do have a lot of metal fire insurance wall plaques on old buildings though: (read this only if you can't sleep)the fire service would look for the plaque before putting the fire out - no plaque, no help!  I used to live in a C17 house in Dorset that had a lovely Sun insurance plaque. Hmm, I feel a new Wikipedia article coming on ... Jasper33 10:07, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Committee for National Security, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions.

Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Committee for National Security and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). You are free to edit the content of Committee for National Security during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion.

Preity Zinta FA
Hi there. The Preity Zinta article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to. In my view it is better than some existing FA actor articles. I would therefore be very grateful if you could give it a final review in your own time and leave your comments and views at Featured article candidates/Preity Zinta. Thankyou, your comments are always valuable. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦       "Talk"? 10:57, 1 November 2007 (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 (talk) 18:11, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

You mentioned that there's no time limit, but is there a limit to the number of barnstars you intend to hand out?

An Administrator is I!
Adventurer! The Council has identified a number of strange occurrences (such as "vandals" and "articles for deletion") in the surrounding wilderness. The Council would check it out, but they have important Councily-type things. But never fear: brave adventurers known as "sysops" roam the lands!

Thank you for your support in my quest to become a sysop. Although I am now wielding the keys to my very own Bitchin' Meatcar, I promise to uphold the laws of the land, martini in hand, in a way that would make Saint Sneaky Pete proud. I will do my best to be a Jack of Several Trades (although I may be a Master of Nuns). I promise to Heart Canadia. And I will make it my goal to Make War, Not ... er, Wait, Never Mind.

I am glad to serve my guild, the League of Wikipedians. If I can be of any assistance, or you have any questions, suggestions, or criticisms in the future, please let me know. And if you are at a loss for what any of the above actually means, see this website.

Thanks again.

Dear, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind support on my request for adminship which succeeded with a final result of (72/19/6).

Now that I am a sysop, do not hesitate to contact me with any queries you have. I would be glad to help you along with the other group of kind and helpful administrators.

Thank you again and I look forward to editing alongside you in the future. &mdash; E  talk 12:38, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I've made several changes to the article that get it beyond stub and expand on several aspects of the office. Please review. -- Broken Sphere Msg me 08:10, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I looked at President of the United States for some ideas and added some of the aspects of that like the term and qualifications. Getting ahold of the 1960 constitution was also very helpful.  The book sources came from Google Books.  The web sources came up sort of hit and miss with Yahoo and Google.  If you went to a library you might be able to find more on it.  -- Broken Sphere Msg me 17:30, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

re ribbon
Alas, some blackguard stole my copy of Photoshop years ago, and the machine I had it loaded on has gone west. So I'm more or less out of the graphics business. But thanks for asking. Herostratus (talk) 02:04, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
...for the barnstar. Jauerback (talk) 05:50, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

And thanks from me too
For the AfD barnstar, though I hardly deserve it. I've only used AfD occasionally over the two years I've been on the site. But it's much appreciated. Thank you. --BlackJack | talk page 11:03, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Reevaluation
I notice that you oppposed the featued image candidate IJM suicide on the grounds that the blurry thing in the forground was distracting, however Fir0002 has removed the blurring think and reuploaded the image. Would you consider taking another look at the FPC candidate page and reevaluating the image? TomStar81 (Talk) 23:18, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

RCP challenge
I've issued 100+ warnings starting on the 20th. Also got 20+ vandals blocked. They'd be harder to track, so I can supply names/IPs and dates for verification. -- Broken Sphere Msg me 03:17, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again. You don't want to look up all the blocked folks in the block log? :p -- Broken Sphere Msg me 04:16, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

It's not easy work, nor does it end. Yesterday I noticed a young man who was vandal fighting all day (I had to go in to work and he was on in the morning and at night, and he's 2 hours ahead of me) named NickMartin. If you look at his contribs it's practically all vandal fighting at this point. You might want to look him up. -- Broken Sphere Msg me 04:22, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

That somewhat explains why I do alternate doing it along with article writing and maintenance. It can get taxing. Broken Sphere Msg me 04:31, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Duplicate images uploaded
Thanks for uploading Image:Westerndigitalexternalhdcomparedtoblueberrybag.JPG. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Image-Westerndigitalexternalhdcomparedtoblueberrybag.JPG. The copy called Image:Image-Westerndigitalexternalhdcomparedtoblueberrybag.JPG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account.

Recent Changes or Twinkle?
Do I necessarily have to use Recent Changes? I've always used TW for my anti-vandalism duties. and besides, it's still cleaning up vandalism either way you look at it.... Two One Six Five Five (talk) 17:01, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Requests for adminship/Elonka 3
Thank you for your participation in my RfA, and your thoughtful comments. I definitely paid close attention to everything that was said in the debate, and, where possible, I will try to incorporate the (constructive) criticism towards being a better administrator. For now though, especially because of the holidays and all the off-wiki distractions, I am going to take it slowly -- I'm working my way through the New admin school, double-checking the relevant policies, and will gradually phase into the use of the new tools. I sincerely doubt you'll see anything controversial coming from my new access level. My main goals are to help out with various backlogs, though I also fully intend to keep on writing articles, as there are a few more that I definitely want to get to WP:FA status. If you do ever have any concerns about my activities as an administrator, I encourage you to let me know. My door is always open. Have a good New Year, --Elonka 21:32, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Ribbon Request
Sure, I'll be sure to get to work on it shortly. Sorry for the delay, I just got back from vacation.

Edinburgh Zoo
Hi! I noticed you voted for Edinburgh Zoo to be the next ACID article. Thanks for your vote, and I was wondering if you could take a while to look over the Zoo's article, to see if you can add/correct information, or generally improve on the article? Any help you can offer would be great, as I'm currently pushing for Good Article status! Thanks again :) — <font face="Verdana">Jack · talk · 03:15, Thursday, 3 January 2008
