Texas/Arkansas '69 edits
I'm using a video of the game broadcast for some of the statistics. How would I cite that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.161.136.179 (talk) 02:40, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

RfA Coaching
Greetings, I just noticed that you had a request for Admin Coaching on the Admin Coaching Page. I have removed the request because you are not ready to become an admin. Please see the general guidelines for what most people are looking for in an admin here or my guidelines. If you don't know what your edit history looks like, please check out Kate's Tool. I encourage you to come back to the coaching page when you get closer to being qualified for adminship.Balloonman (talk) 06:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey there Tan, two things, first, the comments/questions that you posted on the admin coaching main page probably would be more appropriate on a talk page---either yours, mine, or the Admin coaching page. But basically, I personally think you are at least 3-6 months away from being a moderately viable candidate.  Yes, you've made a large number of edits, but a general minimum guideline is 6 months of activity on Wikipedia... but even at 6 months you are barely meeting people's expectations.  Generally successful RfA's invovle people who have been active for 9-12 months---minimum.  I was going to scratch you off the list, but I decided that somebody else might be willing to coach you despite your lack of tenure.  Over eagerness is also something that can be a mark against a potential candidate.  The fact that you started editing in December and immediately requested coaching is a red flag in many people's books.Balloonman (talk) 00:15, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm reverting vandalism. If you'd prefer to do it yourself be my guest. Just stop screwing it up worse, please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.5.10.153 (talk) 16:50, 22 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 06:44, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Admin coaching match
Hello, I am pleased to announce that you have been paired with User:Keeper76 as an admin coachee. You now have two important tasks to complete:
 * 1. Introduce yourself to Keeper76 and explain to them why you want to be an admin.
 * 2. Once they has confirmed the relationship to you, edit Admin coaching/Requests for Coaching to move your name to Admin coaching/Status to record the match.

Given the limited coaching resources of the Admin Coaching project, if you plan to take a Wikibreak of more than 30 days, please notify your coach or myself so that we will know not to tag you as retired and give your spot to another user. Remember that adminship is not a big deal and that it may take multiple RfAs before one becomes a sysop, even for a highly qualified, coached, editor. Also, remember that while admin coaching will help you prepare for the mop, there is no guarantee that completing this program will ensure passage of an RfA.

Congratulations again, and happy editing.  MBisanz  talk 20:32, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Greetings
Hey there Dan, I got your message (just came online a bit ago). I'm posting just a quick note here to let you know that I'm posting a longer note later (after I rake your edit history over hot coals and find all your dirty laundry.) Just kidding of course. Short answer is sure I'll be your coach. Long answer and how to move forward? Gimme about 24 hours. Talk to you soon! Keeper  |   76   |   Disclaimer  18:45, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello again. I've put together a subpage, located at User:Tanthalas39/AC where we can communicate back and forth regarding admin coaching.  I copied the style and format (even some of the paragraphs:) from my own coaching page with admin JodyB.  Using a subpage is better than cluttering up our respective talkpages with the back and forth that will be going on if we make a run at this.  Be sure to watchlist it.  Oh, and go read it!  You have your first assignments!  Cheers,   Keeper   |   76   |   Disclaimer  21:15, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
