Ben ban/Iamandrewrice apology/block/ban
Tony, I came across this "situation" for the first time today on ANI. After I left a comment Jeffpw's talk page, a discussion ensued. I left my final comment, which I feel confident that "Ben" will ready, on Jeffpw's page. As I noted your final posting on ANI with regard to this incident and note that you are the blocking admin, I've deferred to you. &mdash; User: (talk) 01:11, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Diana Thater page
Hello,

I am trying to amke a page for teh video artist Diana Thater. I am new to wikipedia and am tryuing to follow the guidelines set out in your tutorial. I first created a list of links to ther websites with her exhibitons and then put up a small bio decribing her exhibitons. I was told it would be flagged for deletion because it was blatant promotion. I don't understand, listing exhibitons is how artists create their resume. Diana is an important artist that is sited on many of your other pages. What was wrong with hat I had done? Plus this was an article in progress so now I have to start all over. How do I save somthing that I can work on in my spare time without these objections?

Requests for adminship/Elonka 3
Thank you for your support in my RfA. It was definitely a dramatic debate, that landed on WP:100! I paid close attention to everything that was said, and, where possible, I will try to incorporate the (constructive) criticism towards being a better administrator. I'm taking things slowly for now, partially because of the holidays and all the off-wiki distractions. :) I'm also working my way through the New admin school and double-checking the relevant policies, and will gradually phase into the use of the new tools.  My main goals are to help out with various backlogs, but I also fully intend to keep on writing articles, as there are several more that I definitely want to get to WP:FA status! Thanks again, and have a great new year, --Elonka 05:40, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yup, absolutely right on "getting the broom out of the closet." To do adminship right, often requires some time spent doing research before that page-protect or user-block, and often I just won't have the time or attention bandwidth to do that.  More often than not, I just manage to get on Wikipedia to do some disambig cleanups.  However, for those times now that I will have time to do something admin-related, at least I'll now have the tools and can help out! --Elonka 16:50, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
