My RFA
Hi, thanks for participating in my RfA discussion. Unfortunately, my fellow Wikipedians have decided at this time that I am not suitable to take on this additional responsibility, as the RfA failed with a result of 66/27/5 (71.0% support). If you voted in support of my request, thank you! If you decided to oppose me at this time, then I hope that if I do choose to reapply in the future, the effort I will make in the meantime to improve and expand my contributions to Wikipedia may persuade you to reconsider your position. All the best, Proto t c 10:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Redirect for deletion
Yes, it is true that I accidentally created Template:Infobox NYCS in the main space and then moved it to the template space; I just thought that the leftover redirect was fairly useless (who's going to link to Infobox NYCS?) and didn't see the point of leaving it around. I have no real objection to leaving it, however. &mdash;Larry V 23:48, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for supporting my RfA. It was successful and I hope to be a good administrator. Essexmutant 11:40, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks




Thanks for your kind words in my RfA and for taking the time to vote for me. The RfA passed with a final vote of 54/2/1 despite my obvious inadequacy for the job. I'll do my level best to use the mop and bucket — or, as I said in my RfA, plunger — responsibly. Of course, in the best tradition of politicans everywhere, I've already broken a campaign promise (I blocked a vandal last night despite having said "I don't anticipate using the blocking tool very often"). Nevertheless, I'll try not to let the unbridled power corrupt me. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 14:56, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Re: List of museums
 Thanks for taking the action. I cannot quite understand why they'd have refused to give up pushing their points of view, keep the articles as they were, and let uninvolved third parties to decide. &mdash; Instantnood 16:36, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Patricia Routledge
She is a lesbian according to her own Wikipage re her long time companion, Phyllis Claymore. Why should she not be classified accordingly?? 70.19.82.80 17:48, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Brookside
...you mean like the number one hit in Google? Tobias Conradi (Talk) 14:04, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I've tried to explain to this user the concept of avoiding redirects, but to no avail. Just FYI he will violate 3RR if he reverts the change to Ian Hendry once more today. 23skidoo 14:58, 24 February 2006 (UTC)


 * 23skidoo is lying. He did not try this. He only said read the style guide when I asked him for the policy. This is not explaining.
 * Tim regarding your post: I didn't moved it a second time, so what? Tobias Conradi (Talk) 11:14, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

The person who reverted my dab-move (maybe you, not 100% sure), said that most links go to the soap. Well the other go at least mostly to [B (dabword)]. To weaken the given argument and to be sure that the Brookside links are really meant to go to the soap I started to mark them. That's it. I knew and still don't know a policy that says this is wrong. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 11:24, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Elizabeth Castle
My pleasure. I'll get round to adding some more info in due course. Man vyi 19:48, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Brian Veitz
Hi, you speedy deleted Brian Veitz as "obviously written by Brian Veitz". When did "written by the subject" become a speedy deletion criterion? Kappa 14:04, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Sheffield Castle
Hi! I noticed that you added the Sheffield Castle article to the category 'Visitor attractions in Sheffield'. I'm a little bit suprised by this, as the last I knew the 'castle' consisted of a couple of piles of stones in a cellar underneath one of the market buildings, and most people from Sheffield don't even know that it is there, let alone visitors. If this is still the case, I think that classifying it as a visitor attraction is a little strange. Has something changed since I was last in Sheffield? JeremyA 16:07, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Wormegay Castle
Hi.

I noticed you added Category:Visitor attractions in Norfolk to Wormegay Castle, but that the text of the article gives no support to this, and indeed it isn't even clear from the article's text whether there is any public access to the castle site. If your edit was based on knowledge not in the article, could I respectfully request that you update the article as well. If on the other hand it was based on an assumption, then I think the article should be removed from the article until we know better. -- Chris j wood 18:39, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Big Finish boxes
I was just getting started on the Fifth Doctor ones, in order of release. I "signed up" on the project talk page, but if you're already doing them I can move on to Colin. I also had a question about the box: d'you think we should/could have a "set between" field? I've asked that on the project discussion page as well. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 19:24, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Reasons?
Why did you remove Master of Sports of the USSR from Master dab page? Could you, please, explain your reasons on the talk page before removing essential things? Cmapm 14:37, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Paddy russell.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Paddy russell.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.  Pagra shtak  05:28, 10 March 2006 (UTC) The same applies to Image:Michael sheard.jpg, Image:Marc platt.jpg, Image:Geoffrey sax.jpg, Image:Terrance dicks.jpg, and Image:Robert holmes.jpg.

Legal television series?
You'll need another category, then, for all the illegal television series'. >:) Wahkeenah 20:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
