I got 83 more years until I'm 100. Let the good times roll. =) Nishkid64 01:26, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

My administratorship candidacy succeeded with a final tally of 81/0/1. I appreciate your support. Results are at Wiki: Recently_created_admins#Durova. Warmly, Durova 14:38, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I saw you went neutral on MCB's RfA, and I just wanted to know why you said "Weak support really". Just curious, but it just seemed contradictory to me. Nishkid64 00:49, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Okay, just wanted to know. Nishkid64 00:54, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
He responded to your comments. P.S. He makes a lot of food references lol...(He's in WikiProject Food). I also would like to point out that the same thing happened to me in late August-early September, in the weeks before my own RfA. I was AfD-crazy for a month or so before I calmed down and started looking toward other things on Wiki English. Nishkid64 01:18, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for creating the additional all rounders table I requested. Much appreciated! Big Al Big Al 1984 11:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I saw you created Category:String theory physicists. While this is a very useful category, it would be more appropriately named Category:String theorists to reflect general usage. Is there any easy way to fix this? –Joke 14:47, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

There is no way to move category pages since you can't make changes to the pages under the category without physically editing them. However, I made the new category, and I moved all 41 articles from Category:String theory physicists to Category:String theorists. Nishkid64 21:48, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

 

Hey Ageo, thanks a lot for supporting me in my recent RfA. It succeeded, and I am very grateful to all of you. If you ever need help with anything, please don't hesitate to ask. Also, feel free point out any mistakes I make! Thanks again, —Khoikhoi 04:15, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey Age0020,

I just wanted to thank you for your support in my recent request for adminship, which passed unanimously with a final tally of 38/0/0. I appreciate your trust, and will do my best to uphold it. Don't hesitate to let me know if you ever need anything. — TKD::Talk 05:44, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello Ageo! Thank you so much for the truely flattering nomination on my RfA. I am humbled and honoured by your confidence in me, and hope to live up to it. I'm still exploring the new tools, so feel free to tell me of any mistakes I might make in the process. In case you need help with anything, just leave me a message. Thanks again, and here's wishing you and your loved ones a great Diwali!--thunderboltz(Deepu) 07:10, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. Cheers! (and dont mind what Tintin says) ;-) Hope you had a happy Diwali.--thunderboltz^(Deepu) 07:25, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

When I am convinced that the user will not misuse admin tools or snob at others (many admins do the latter !!!) I vote "support". If there are any special reasons (like a good history of vandal fighting, significant contributions, good at mediating disputes) I mention that.

I feel that "Support" is same as "Support.. unlikely to misuse tools", "Good User", "Was expecting for this", "Whole hearted support", etc which conveys no meaning other than being used as a sort of Signature of the User. Hence I decided to stick to the Simple "Support" (a sort of "Style") I have given the specific reasons in the past in a lot of RFAs when there were reasons. Any way, I take your suggestion and will try to give a brief reason for support in future.

By the way, in my opinion, most of the support (or oppose votes) in a Rfa (as well as AFD) is polled not because the user themselves support of oppose the candidate, but because few of their friends have voted like that ahead of them. Hope you know what happened in the Ambuj Saxena RFA !!!!!  Doctor Bruno  00:18, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I've finally had the time during my long Wikibreak to thank the voters and commentors on my my RfA last month, and I thank you! I'll try again as previously planned in the late of spring, and hopefully I'll win it. When I get off this multi-month Wikibreak I'll be back to the Wikipedia, visting xfD everyday in addition. Do you have any tips or suggestions for me? Thanks again, X [Mac Davis] (SUPERDESK|Help me improve)08:15, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of (97/4/4)! I've never been able to accept compliments gracefully, and the heavy support from this outstanding community left me at a complete loss for words -- so, a very belated thank you for all of your kind words. I have done and will continue to do the utmost to serve the community in this new capacity, wherever it may take me, and to set an example others might wish to follow in. With a little luck and a lot of advice, this may be enough. Maybe someday the enwiki admins of the future will look back and say, "Yeah, that guy was an admin." Hopefully then they don't start talking about the explosive ArbComm case I got tied into and oh what a drama that was, but we'll see, won't we? Surely some of you have seen me in action by now; with that in mind, I openly invite and welcome any feedback here or here -- help me become the best editor and sysop I can be. Again, thank you. –Luna Santin

Thanks for the opportunity to serve; I won't let you down. Luna Santin 19:58, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for expressing an interest in my recent RfA. As a followup, I wanted to let you know that unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful. However, I do appreciate that you took the time to monitor the discussion, and I paid close attention to your thoughts, as I find it a valuable thing to understand how I am perceived by others in the Wikipedia community. My current plans are to continue contributing in a positive manner to Wikipedia, and if there is anything that I can do in the future to help further address your concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me, thank you. --Elonka 10:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's been a week now that I've been an administrator and I'd like to take this moment to once again thank everyone who supported my RfA, and to let you all know that I don't think I've screwed anything up yet so I hope I'm living up to everyone's expectations for me. But if I ever fall short of those expectations, I'd certainly welcome folks telling me about it!

Thank you for supporting my RfA that I have passed with 73/2/1.--Jusjih 09:24, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

AfD closed, redirect created, page moved. Nishkid64 22:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Maashe, you must be interested to see this. Tintin (talk) 02:01, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

The sum of her contributions is certainly positive. Though those were mostly stubs, she did start entries for some important people.

But the edits have a certain pattern that a typical sockpuppet would follow - first create a lead-puppet which will do most of the editing, plus seven or eight others who do just enough edits to be able to vote in Afds. The main sock created a few stubs, talked with a few people. Then after a month, it started voting in RfA (always voting support) and a few Afds. Then it started out handing out barnstars. Then when the time seemed right, one of the minor socks recreated the article. Tintin (talk) 04:18, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

On second thoughts, I am not sure whether I should be happy about this ban. We would have got a few more stubs/articles without it. Tintin (talk) 04:23, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Socks give me a headache. These catroonist guys were clever ones, too. Btw, Ageo, you can speedy using {{csd-g4}} articles that are recreated after an XFD and contain near similar content.--thunderboltz^(Deepu) 14:23, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Yesudasan and Gireesh Puthenchery are certainly notable. I haven't heard of Shetty and seem to to vaguely familiar with the name of Madhu Omalloor. But it could simply because of my ignorance on the topic.
Sanalkumar etc have written in that magazine but the chances are that this guy created ids in their name and wrote the comments himself. Please see the comments at the end of http:https://www.duhoctrungquoc.vn/wiki/index.php?lang=en&q=User_talk:Dlyons493&oldid=69598231 by User:P.C.Sanalkumar.I.A.S. Have you ever seen an IAS officer write such terrible English ? Tintin (talk) 02:25, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments about my nomination of Saxifrage. I'm still learning. :-) PStrait 11:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Done. Tintin (talk) 02:03, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

...for your nod of support in my recent RfA. If you ever need some admin help or just a pair of disinterested eyes to review an article, just let me know. All I would ask in return is for you to explain to me what the hell is going on when I am watching cricket. Every time I think I have it figured out, something happens that makes perfect sense to the players and the announcers but leaves me dumbfounded. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 14:11, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Your CVU unit image had a dead link in it, I've fixed it for you to make it look a bit cleaner.--Son of More 02:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey Mike, I was wondering of you could help me out with getting votes for expanding an article I started a while back. My old US Australia relations article is currently being considered for expansion by the Wikipedia:Australian Collaboration of the Fortnight. To vote, go here and scroll to the bottom.

Thanks man! Sharkface217 05:07, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ageo, despite being Indians we never really had a chance to interact with each other prior to this. I guess my RFA has really given me a great chance to get others' views among which yours are very flattering. Thanks a lot!! Regarding LostBot, I am selecting articles through the categories. So for example, the bot is marking articles under Category:India as just {{WP India}} but those under Category:India stubs as stubs. Hope this clarifies. Do let me know if you have any further questions. -- Lost^(talk) 17:58, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ageo020, I am very thankful to you for supporting and comments on my succesful RfA. Shyam ^(T/C) 06:39, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

My RfA done I hope to wield my mop well (Her name is Vera) I appreciate The support you have shown me (I hope I don't suck) Anyway, I just wanted to drop you a line (damn, haikus are hard)

Hi. De Souza (or actually de Souza) is the name Souza with the preposition "de". Check the item 5 of the Portuguese surnames article for more info. --Carioca 20:34, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

My RfA passed with a tally of 71/1/0. Thank you very much for your support. I hope that my performance as an admin will not disappoint you. Please let me know if you see me doing anything inappropriate. -- Donald Albury 02:51, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
