Hey. These images are from this guy's account on flickr. They're free as they use the "CC-BY-SA" license. Mattythewhite 14:14, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd personally say they do bring some use to the article, if not much. Its gives the reader an idea on their build, height etc. Mattythewhite 14:32, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Alright, that's good. If you have any questions, then you know where to turn. Also, if you'd like me to put anything that you're reading into different words, then I'd be more than happy to do that. Keep me posted; I'll be here. Cheers,  The Hybrid   T / C   20:22, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Just about close entry for the cup because we have 12 users, enough for 3 pools, regards. F 9  T  10:18, 16 October 2007 (UTC)


 * You need to give everyone an average edit rating out of 10, your column is AERJ1 F  9  T  18:24, 16 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Please include edit summary usage in you rating, to get the word out the tournament has begun, i will take the 1st 6 names, you take the second one. I can try and take care of the other columns, rather ill so no school for a bit. F  9  T  18:33, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

The action taken will be that we will have to eliminate Gazh from the group, with no points given. F 9  T  18:39, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Wikipedia Watch (fourth nomination)
Remember to stay civil and avoid personal attacks like your talk page states. Calling people "losers" won't solve anything.  T Rex  | talk  21:30, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

RE:deletion
Go for it. That article is potentially controversial, and it cites only two sources, one of them the official website. I'm with you, it isn't notable, but you should probably target the verifiability of it most strongly, and mention the notability as an afterthought. Cheers,  The Hybrid   T / C   16:54, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

FYI, it is bad form to nominate a page for deletion without a descriptive edit summary. -Chunky Rice 17:24, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Whenever you nominate an article for AfD, prod it, or request speedy deletion, you must leave a descriptive edit summary, even if it's just "AFD" or "PROD" so that the people who are interested in the article and have it watchlisted have the opportunity to participate in the process. Not leaving such a summary on a regular basis is considered to be disruptive editing and is a blockable offense.  I'm not accusing you of anything, mind you, but am just giving you a heads up so that you can leave such an edit summary in the future. -Chunky Rice 17:49, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Your AfD was good. While the article will be kept (I didn't see it coming, BTW, since I don't know much about this site in particular), it has already had several sources added to it, and will be of a much higher quality when the AfD is over than when it was started. That helps the encyclopedia more than it actually being deleted. All in all, everything has worked out in the best possible way. Also, thanks for the sysop access on the ARW. I know someone who's really knowledgeable  aliens and such, so hopefully I'll be able to recruit him for you in the near future. Also, to comment on the summary thing, yeah, a summary is needed for any kind of deletion nomination, from speedy to AfD. That's why the people on the RfA board want almost 100% summary usage, so the admin won't forget to leave a rational when they delete an article, or block a user, etc. That reminds me, if you really want to learn about deletion criteria, you should try new page patrolling. It is a lot of fun, IMO. Cheers,  The Hybrid   T / C   22:00, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Good, good good good. I would still recommend newpage patrolling, as the deletion criteria is just a basic set of rules every user needs to know. However, I'm very glad that you will not be a deletionist anymore. Deletionists, well, you've seen the trouble deletionism can get you in to.

No offense, but it isn't really something that interests me. F 9  T  19:36, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Did you delete the last rows of the table? If you did, please add them again, I am going to keep a record of these tournaments, dont do new stats please, old tables. F 9  T  11:29, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, done it. F  9  T  11:32, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I am aware of that, but I would like to keep the tables, we will have new tables for the second round, so people can keep track of the tournament. F  9  T  13:19, 22 October 2007 (UTC)


 * In response to "lets wait for a admin to nominate it then every one will vote Delete in favour." - I normally vote before looking up the nominator. So therefore this is not true. Tiddly - Tom  18:49, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I live in Arizona. Where will you be visiting?  The Hybrid   T / C   15:47, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Since I'm on I will take the time to wish you a wonderful vacation. Cheers,  The Hybrid   T / C   00:32, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Can do. I'll make sure everything survives until you return. Peace,  The Hybrid   T / C   00:39, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

It makes me feel all warm inside when I come back from a vacation to discover that I have new messages, so I'm leaving this to make sure you see that bar :). Cheers,  The Hybrid   T / C   00:54, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

It's good to have you back. If you haven't seen them yet, Darthtyler has left you some messages on the ARW. Cheers,  The Hybrid   T / C   03:29, 29 October 2007 (UTC

Don't alter RfA votes
I've rolled back all of your edits to Requests for adminship/Gurch 2. You're breaking the RfA in a major way; don't edit other people's comments. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 15:12, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Don't tell me what I meant by my !vote; it was a joke, which I consider fairly obvious. Regardless of that fact, you de-indented several discussion comments, which artificially inflated the opposition section. If you revert my edits, I will revert you right back and block; you're disrupting the RfA process with your misguided editing. (cross-posted comment on both users' talk pages to ensure it is seen) EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 15:18, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


 * What in the world are you doing on Gurch's RFA? This is really disruption, especially doing it a second time, and is a great way to get blocked lightning fast.  Please don't do that again. --barneca (talk) 15:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


 * It was an accident, sorry. I read it wrong. The sunder king 15:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I haven't loked over this particular situation yet, but I must say never, ever, edit someone else's comments for any reason, not even personal attacks. Anyway, adopting a user while an adoptee is forbidden by WP:ADOPT guidelines. Peace,  The Hybrid   T / C   15:58, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I added a few bits n bobs, as a result i think i moved your ref along - so it might need re-checking, i added a new link at the bottom which is worth checking as there is loads of stuff we can add from it.

Off to watch match now. Gazh 18:51, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey
You doing alright? I haven't been hearing much out of you lately, so I'm just checking up on you. Cheers,  The Hybrid   T / C   01:51, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Running so soon after the RfA incident with EVula wasn't a good idea, and refusing to accept responsibility for your actions was the final nail in the coffin. That incident was entirely your fault; jokes are relatively common place in RfAs to lighten up the formal and occasionally somber mood. After looking over the diffs, I would have opposed you as well. I see a lot of potential in you, but at this time it indeed would be dangerous to give you the tools. You have the best of intentions, and you are learning, but at this time you simply aren't ready. When I first adopted you I thought that you would be ready rather quickly, but I was incorrect. That is a reflection on me, and not you, as you are still progressing at a rate that is above average, and I simply overestimated you as a result of this. Don't be discouraged. Just focus on one thing at a time. The desire to be an administrator can be distracting, and cause you to rush to do things you may not know how to yet. Just focus on earning respect, admit it when you make a mistake, and try not to think about gaining the admin tools. You will know you are ready when an experienced user offers to nominate you. Peace,  The Hybrid   T / C   21:59, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I tried not to be too harsh, but giving you the truth with a nice dose of Novocaine hadn't been working up to this point. I have always had the most success when I can be blunt, and I would like your permission to continue being this way. If you can take the brutal honesty in stride, then I think that you will have the most success. Anyway, I'm glad to see that you are going to stay, as many a user have quit after failing their first RfA. Like I said before, simply vie for respect, and eventually it will come to you. Now then, on to more current matters, a potential GA. If Mattythewhite, a user with 4 GAs and 4 FAs thinks that the article can pass, then I'm more than willing to trust them.

Articles for deletion/Chippy Charles
I am closing AfDs right now anyway, I don't usually :). Technically the page meets no WP:CSD (hoax is not one), and has to do through AfD. Once there are more comments, it could be snowball closed... However, I am willing to bet that if you add to the page, someone less policy minded then myself will delete it.  Prodego  talk  17:31, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Choco chip cookie.jpg|40px]] I just visited the Bureaucrat's noticeboard, regarding a certain RfA, and I think you could use a cookie. Here you are. Prodego  talk  18:11, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
