Barnstars.
Please don't give out so many barnstars... you've handed out 42 to Milk's Favorite Cookie alone since January 19. You've been blocked in the past for this (unblocked second time, because you spoke to the blocking admin, and he was "reassured this won't happen again"), so I recommend you slow down. · AndonicO  Hail!  16:18, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I'll be busy through 4/2/08, so get back to me if you can wait until then. User:Pedro and User:Husond are both good, too. Bearian (talk) 16:20, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Are you serious?
I just noticed over at Requests for adminship/Milk's Favorite Cookie you've mentioned the astounding number of barnstars the candidate has gotten. Then, I noticed that a huge number of them were given by you. Are you joking?!? These shenanigans surely cannot help the candidate. Friday (talk) 20:30, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Cutting Down
We need to severely cut down on the article size of the award center you maintain. We should remove completed tasks, and remove the outdated section located at User:Sharkface217/Award Center. You can get back to me whenever you have time. Malinaccier (talk) 23:42, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

"+" sign on award center
Hello, Sharkface217. I have added a "+" sign to your award center like they have on help desk or talk pages, so it would be more convient to post challenges. Please tell me if you would like it reverted.  Not hing 4 44  21:22, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Please visit Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact Hersfold to accept or decline the nomination. A page for your nomination at Requests for adminship/ . If you accept the nomination, you must formally state and sign your acceptance and answer the questions on that page. Once you have answered the questions, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so. I've also sent Oreo the same link so s/he can add their co-nomination - please don't transclude the page until after that's been posted, as it could complicate matters.

 * The RFA runs for 1 week, starting from when you officially accept the nomination and transclude your candidate page onto the main RFA page. So it's up to you when it actually starts - if you won't be around enough to answer questions until later this week, I would highly recommend not transcluding until then, as you will be bombarded by questions early on, and people will expect answers to them in a timely manner. <em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:blue">Hers <em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:gold">fold  (t/a/c) 00:20, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Vandal AWC challenge
Hi Sharkface, I believe I've completed the RC Patrol/vandalism challenge. Ever since signing up, I've warned 100 different anons/users. Here's a diff list. Also, do I have it right that it counts toward the 20 blocks if you are in any way involved with warning/AIV reporting a user, who eventually ends up getting blocked soon? If so, I may have reached the requirement for that, but I haven't bothered trying to count those up yet.

 * Good luck next time. Btw, here is a tiny of my advice. Change the colour of your signature. Red and black doesn't really go together, plus black gives a really bad first impression (black is related to evil, vampire, or the phrase "black hearted").

I reverted vandalism on the Joe Swanberg page, and you reverted it back, calling my edit unconstructive. I'm 99.9% certain that Swanberg's next film is _not_ called "Sucking a Big Dick". It is obvious vandalism. I'm reverting it again. Anonymoustom (talk) 03:22, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Freshbakedpie's Barnstar
Hey, listen, I think perhaps this competition is making the participants a little too eager and jumping on good faith edits -- for example, Freshbakedpie reverted this edit, which is clearly not vandalism, warned the IP, and then removed my question about it without an answer. It seems he's also removed the questions of other users that have asked about his overzealous vandalism reverting, like here. Should we really be awarding this behavior with barnstars?

Milhist Tag & Assess 2008
Did you participate in the first one?

I'm assuming that this continues from where the 2007 drive ended. The project had a bot pull a list of articles that may be related to it in terms of scope. A lot of false flags turned however as a result, so then the participants went through the results manually and verified what was in or out of scope and assessed if it was. The results were broken up into numbered ranges to avoid people stepping on each others' toes while reviewing and assessing, and you signed up for a range you wanted to work on. They have detailed instructions on each of the results pages. I am not going to do this one probably or if I do, will not start soon, as I am going on vacation next Friday for 2 weeks.
