[edit] RFA Thanks

Thanks!
Thanks for your input on my (nearly recent) Request for adminship, which regretfully achived no consensus, with votes of 68/28/2. I am grateful for the input received, both positive and in opposition, and I'd like to thank you for your participation.

Good question. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 20:58, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Oh, the humanity!

I had my doubts about accepting a nomination for a second RfA, but even I couldn't have predicted the stir it caused as it drifted to the ground in flames! Still, it was as educational as ever. Thanks for being willing to discuss your concerns, as well as for your input; it will be on my mind as I continue to edit Wikipedia, and perhaps I will have earned your support if another nomination comes around. Kafziel Talk 14:55, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your input is requested

Your input would be appreciated at this Request for Comments. Kelly Martin (talk) 15:39, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for voting

Thank you for voting in my RfA which at 51/20/6 unfortunately did not achieve consensus. In closing the nomination, Essjay remarked that it was one of the better discussed RfAs seen recently and I would like to thank you and all others who chose to vote for making it as such. It was extremely humbling to see the large number of support votes, and the number of oppose votes and comments will help me to become stronger. I hope to run again for adminship soon. Thank you all once more. Wikiwoohoo 19:57, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] LT

Leave the stats info in of LT . These are viable stats.

Your message doesn't provide much context or reasoning, but I believe I understand what you're referring to. The main problem with the stats you'd like to include on LaDainian Tomlinson is that they're essentially original research because you're presenting statistics in a novel way (i.e. they're not commonly presented this way). SuperMachine 00:06, 19 December 2006 (UTC)


SThe stats are coming from computing his stats. And the catching is from football outsiders.com


Please leave alone. That stsats are his stats just computed. The other stat is from footballoutsiders.com

If you wish to add such stats, please gain consensus on Talk:LaDainian Tomlinson first. Also, please sign your posts on talk pages such as this one. Thanks. SuperMachine 02:22, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] House

Who are you to tell me what to consider minor or a typo? --Billywhack 12:43, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

A typo is "a mistake made during the typing process. The term includes errors due to mechanical failure or slips of the hand or finger...". This definition certainly doesn't cover different wording, which is what your edit was.
From the first paragraph minor it should be clear that your edit was not minor:
"A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous version: typo corrections, formatting and presentational changes, rearranging of text without modifying content, etc. A minor edit is a version that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute."

[edit] Thank you for your support

Thank you for your support in the RfA on my behalf. It is an honor to have received your expression of confidence. To be chosen as an administrator requires a high level of confidence by a broad section of the community. Although I received a great deal of support, at this time I do not hold the level of confidence required, and the RfA did not pass. It is my wish that I will continue to deserve your confidence. Sincerely, --BostonMA talk 20:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Hey, thanks for participating in my recent RFA. You were amongst a number of editors who considered that I wasn't ready for the mop yet and as a consequence the RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). I am extremely grateful that you took the time to advise me on to improve as a Wikipedian and I'd like to assure you that I'll do my level best to develop my skills here to a point where you may feel you could trust me with the mop.

I've been blown away by the level of interest taken in my RFA and appreciate the time and energy dedicated by all the editors who have contributed to it, support, oppose and neutral alike. I hope to bump into you again soon and look forward to serving you and Wikipedia in any way I can. Cheers!

[edit] Please explain to me why you reverted my edit to heroes talk page

I started the conversation on Micah having a confirmed power. (I wasnt logged in then) And how we have sources that prove Micah has a confirmed power, thus the conversation is not needed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LordArthas (talk

Sections of talk pages are periodically archived, but comments are rarely deleted unless they're vandalism. No harm is being done by leaving the section until it's archived. Thanks, SuperMachine 16:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Where is it stated that it is against wikipedia rules to delete out of date, inactive topics in the talk page? And yes I believe there IS harm in leaving it there, and many of the other topics for that matter. They all clutter up the talk page, thus making it appear very messy. It also takes attention away from the few topics that are actually being discussed. Anyone looking at the index page on the talk page will see so many inactive or out of date topics. Not knowing where to discuss, the user may simply leave the talk page and not contribute, or at the very least be annoyed in the difficulty finding a active topic. Deleting them cleans up the talk page, brings attention the the topics actually being discussed, and makes the talk page overall better. IN short, I vote we delete the old, inactive, or out of date topics, or archive them immediatly(if thats even possible).LordArthas 06:30, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Here's a few pages that may help you out:
The most relevant section would probably be here, where it discusses archiving subjects that are no longer being discussed. I hope this helps. Thanks, SuperMachine 12:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you very much, after reading that, I found a way to clean up the talk pages. You have been a big help. LordArthas 13:33, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thanks for taking the time to review my contributions and contribute to my RfA. I withdrew when it became clear that the uphill climb had crossed the snowball threshold, but I appreciate your feedback and the process gave me some good ideas for other ways I can be contributing to Wikipedia. I'll work on the areas that came up in the discussion, and try again after I've gained wider experience. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:26, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
