Responses from Ottava

"Please do not add fake warnings or notices to other user talk pages as you did to User talk:Kafziel, thank you." Was posted on my talk page. I have not added any such warnings or notices to anyone else like that. Please read something completely and be aware of quotation marks. Please also do not act rashly. Furthermore, please remove your comment from my talk page. Ottava Rima (talk) 04:37, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I just looked and saw the quotation marks. And I will remove my comment from your talk page with apologies, but please remember to Assume Good Faith. --Chetblong^Talk_Sign 04:41, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I did, and that is why I asked you to remove it instead of deleting it myself. Ottava Rima (talk) 04:44, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Well it's fine now, but just try to talk a little bit kinder when you leave messages, it would make me a lot more likely to help with any request you might have. But don't worry I'm quite open to criticism if I have done anything wrong, as I did when I left that message on your talk page. I hope I can be of help to you in the future, --Chetblong^Talk_Sign 04:52, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I assumed the please would show my intent to be nice about it. However, I forgot that most people on Wikipedia/the Internet tend to be sensitive about language. That is one of the difficulties when you have written word as opposed to verbal. It is like trying to distinguish between red and purple when you are colorblind. Ce la Wikipedia. Ottava Rima (talk) 04:57, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

My take on "thats life", i.e. "thats Wikipedia". :) Ottava Rima (talk) 05:15, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Chetblong, this is probably inapropriate of me to add as a random passerby, but it's a variation on the French phrase "C'est la vie" meaning "Such is life", so it should probably be "C'est la Wikipedia" -Verdatum (talk) 08:31, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thankyou for fixing up my user page. I love the design! If you are free could you please do the same to my other pages.  wwesocks  21:28, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure! Chetblong^{T C} 21:28, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

RC-0722

They keep putting it back up before a consensus is reached. RC-0722 ^communicator/_kills 01:20, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

The current consensus is to keep it so it should be kept. -Chetblong^{T C} 01:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Help please

Could you please help me? I am having trouble with userboxes. I got some more and put them on my page but some won't appear in the box. I have tried everything. Thanks,  wwesocks  04:58, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do. Chetblong^{T C} 05:03, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Sooners?

You like the sooners? That qualifies you for at least some okieness :P Okiefromokla ^questions? 21:33, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Yep, they're my favorite College Football team! --Chetblong^{T C} 21:35, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry to keep bothering you, but I added more userboxes and the box is stuffed up. I can't figure out what is wrong. Could you please help (don't worry this will be the last time as I have finished putting userboxes on my page.) Thanks alot for your time.  wwesocks  03:35, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure! --Chetblong^{T C} 04:32, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Thankyou for your help. I would be lost without you.

Michael Jordan

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on the Michael Jordan article. It's been hit really hard today. Thanks again! :) Burner0718 ^{(Jibba Jabba!)} 04:35, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

You are quite welcome. Oh wait I just realized I'm talking to a Giants fan (Me = Patriots :) ) can't talk to you :P. Anyways thanks for the thanks :D, it means quite a bit to vandalism reverters when their edits get acknowledged. Thanks and have a goodnight, Chetblong^{T C} 04:44, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Hear that burner? We're being shunned because we can pick winners. :P BTW, he's not a Giants fan, he's a packer's fan that was rooting for the Giants. RC-0722 ^communicator/_kills 04:52, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Uhh, what? Actually, I am a Packers fan. Sorry about your loss. I'm a Buckeyes fan, so I know all about not winning the big game. :) Anyway, you're welcome. Burner0718 ^{(Jibba Jabba!)} 04:58, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Okay fine, *correcting* *clears throat* Correction: Chet's NFL conscience does not allow Chet to talk to people who voted for, betted on, or otherwise supported the New York Giants in the Super Bowl, because Chet's NFL conscience is a Patriots fan. :P --Chetblong^{T C} 05:04, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

However we could call it even because I'm a LSU Tigers fan :). --Chetblong^{T C} 05:11, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Works for me. If it's any consolation, I was rooting for the Pats against the Cowboys. Will Ohio State ever beat an SEC team? Burner0718 ^{(Jibba Jabba!)} 05:17, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Ohio State won't beat a SEC team unless they play the Razorbacks :) (which in my opinion [even though I live in Arkansas] are a pretty bad team). --Chetblong^{T C} 05:21, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Ohio State sucks, quite frankly. ElisaEXPLOSiONtalk. 13:37, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

They're OK, but UT and Florida rule! Go McCoy! Go Tebow! Hook 'em and chomp, that's my motto. RC-0722 ^communicator/_kills 16:38, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

lmao nice. im more of an Adrian Peterson fan. Maurice Jones-Drew, too. ElisaEXPLOSiONtalk. 21:05, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

There are 4 teams that I like, LSU, Oklahoma, Florida and Alabama. In the NFL my favorite is the Patriots and I root for both of the Manning brothers unless they're playing the Patriots. --Chetblong^{T C} 01:06, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

User:Chetblong/Main

Do you mind that I updated the {{Click}}s to ImageMaps? :)   jj137 (talk) 02:59, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I was wondering about how to do that but I never got around to changing it. If you don't mind could you change User:Chetblong/bar to ImageMaps as well? Thanks, Chetblong^{T C} 03:27, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Y Done. If you were wondering how to do it, mw:Extension:ImageMap explains everything pretty well. :)   jj137 (talk) 03:37, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem. :)   jj137 (talk) 03:40, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

RFA

If you are interested, I answered the question on my RFA concerning the username reports. Icestorm815 • Talk 02:22, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Good idea I have to say. Thanks for deciding to answer. :) Chetblong^{T C} 02:27, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I've switched back to support, we all make mistakes even I have (many times), don't worry about it. --Chetblong^{T C} 02:47, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Doczilla's RfA

.: Oh, no! There goes To-ky-o! Admin Doczilla! :.

Thanks for !voting! Thank you for !voting in my RfA which resulted in the collapse of civilization with 92 (94?) support, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral. Blame jc37 and Hiding for nominating me, everyone who had questions or comments, everyone who !voted, everyone who tallied the numbers correctly, and WJBScribe who closed without shouting, "No mop for you!" Seriously, your response has overwhelmed me. I am deeply grateful.

STS-93 patch. Chetblong Thank you for casting the 93rd yea vote (even if the RfA had closed already).

     "The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot." - Michael Althsuler

Doczilla RAWR! 08:24, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't sure if you goofed when you added your two cents to my freshly closed RfA or if you simply decided what the heck, you wanted to get involved anyway, but the fact that you went to the trouble meant more to me than a lot of officially counted !votes. Best, Doczilla _RAWR! 08:29, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

It was actually kind of both. When I !voted, I hadn't realized that your RFA was closed, but when I realized that it was closed I chose to keep my vote on the page, because I could not not support such a great candidate. Congrats on the adminship! --Chetblong^{T C} 18:17, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user page

The anon IP is vandalising a redirect I'd made and then decided to hit my own page. Don't I feel special now ;) Thanks for cleaning it up while I was offline. Travellingcari (talk) 20:07, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome! --Chetblong^{T C} 20:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I never knew about talkback, thanks for teaching me something new :) Travellingcari (talk) 20:27, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello

Nice logo. Nice page, as well... still looking for your hidden page, though. Cheers, Basketball110 _{proof that this user is crazy} 23:38, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I've slowly made my page better over the past few months, the logo wasn't all that hard to create I used Microsoft Powerpoint, if you would like a similar logo tell me I'd be happy to make one. Thanks for voting in my RFA and I wish you luck in finding my secret page! --Chetblong^{T C} 00:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

If you've got the time, and you want to, you can make me a logo. Basketball110 ^{proof that this user is crazy} 01:13, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure! I'll make it either Monday or next Saturday. --Chetblong^{T C} 01:16, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Okay! Basketball110 ^{proof that this user is crazy} 01:27, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Your comment to my RfA.

Thanks for your input. I did not realize there was an editor review. I guess that highlights my inexperience. I'm going to let the RfA run its course, however, and possibly open an editor review once that's completed. My mistake. :) scetoaux (talk) 04:40, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

On second thought, I think I'll close the RfA. scetoaux (talk) 04:57, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you!

Hey, thanks for signing my guestbook! I support your RfA totally. I have your back. This is not canvassing, but I am planning on nominating myself for adminship, so keep posted at my talk page! Good luck! With your luck, you probably don't need it, 'cause everything's going swimmingly. — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 07:49, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the vote on my RFA! As to your RFA, I will support you, since you meet my criteria, but you need to wait about another month (mid-March) before you're second RFA, so that there is better chance of it succeeding. Cheers , --Chetblong^{T C} 08:55, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, thanks for the support as well as the advice! I didn't know when I should put it on, but now I guess I know! I know it's early, and I was close to putting it on, but I was too unconfident. I must find my niche in Wikipedia first. Then I will transclude it. Thanks a bunch! — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 08:57, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I just took a look at your criteria, and I noticed that you said that people participating in AIV must have rollback permissions, and although I want to do AIV, I don't have rollback permissions. Do you think there would be a way I could get them? — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 08:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. --Chetblong^{T C} 09:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

You are now an administrator

Congratulations, I have just closed your RfA as successful and made you an administrator. Take a look at the administrators' how-to guide and the administrators' reading list if you haven't read those already. Also, the practice exercises at the new admin school may be useful. If you have any questions, get in touch on my talk page. WjBscribe 20:30, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice! I will look at those pages that you linked, many thanks! --Chetblong^{T C} 20:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Congrats on becoming an admin. Happy editing! Burner0718 ^JibbaJabba! 20:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! --Chetblong^{T C} 21:08, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Just wanted to say...

Congrats on your success. No hard feelings hopefully that I voted neutral. It wasn't a personal slight, but I doubt you took it that way. I'm sure you will make fine use of the tools. Good luck, dude. I look forward to seeing your handiwork! Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 21:09, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

About your RfA

The admins' T-shirt. Acalamari 21:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations on your successful request for adminship. I am glad you passed, and you are welcome for the support. For information on using your new tools, see the school for new admins; you will find it very useful. Good luck! Acalamari 21:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Ha ha lol! I love the t-shirt, and I will go to that new admin school. Thanks! --Chetblong^{T C} 22:16, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome! Acalamari 22:18, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations. It's probably a good thing nobody during your RfA mentioned that you (and me) voted late on somebody else's RfA. The closing admin just removed our remarks. Ah, well. At least the big lizard with the Ph.D. knows we showed our support. Wryspy (talk) 22:44, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Nousernamesleft

Hi, Chetblong, thanks for voting in my RfA, which passed with 47 supports (I hoped for a perfect square, but two away is close enough!), 3 opposes (the first odd prime), and 0 neutrals. I'm glad the community has decided to trust me with the mop and bucket (the flamethrower isn't supported). Of course, special thanks goes to my nominators Auawise and that one guy who buried stuff (not that the thanks I give to the you isn't special!). If you ever need a hand with something, or just want to say hello, tough feel free to drop a line! Best wishes, Nousernamesleftcopper, not wood 23:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC) This doesn't even vaguely resemble a mop, but I couldn't find a picture of one.

You're welcome

...for the RfA vote, although no thanks is necessary. Please don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions. When I first got my mop, I ended up asking a different of every person who said that to me! Oh... and be ready for your talk page to suddenly get a whole lot busier. Have fun! --Ginkgo100^talk 23:54, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I will ask you if I need help . --Chetblong^{T C} 02:22, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! Chetblong^{T C} 02:27, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations!

Congratulations, new administrator! Also know that I now have rollback permissions, so I should pass your criteria. However, when it comes to answering the questions, I choke up. That's why my other one failed, crashed, and burned. — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 00:26, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! And good work on getting rollback as that does fit you quite well into my criteria . As to the questions, I had that same problem, so I just answered them as honestly as possible and look I'm an admin! So just be yourself, it will help a lot. Cheers , Chetblong^{T C} 02:25, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Alright. That shouldn't be hard, 'cause I am usually myself. — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 02:33, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

RE:RFA Card

Hello Chetblong. Thank you for sending RFA card. Congratulations! I opposed your RfA because I was concerned about your understanding and application of CSD policy. Although I opposed your RfA, you send me RFA card. This shows that you are a responsible person. I hope that you will do a good job as an admin. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 03:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll try my best, and as I said in my card if you need anything please ask I'd be happy to help. Chetblong^{T C} 03:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate your comment. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 03:15, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Status - Online

Hi. How do you get your status to work? AFAIK, Statusbot was still broke. Do you have to edit it yourself each time, or is there some magic trick to it? Thanks! -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 07:18, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I just either put here, gone, or work into the parser and it switches the template for me. Here's where I update my status, and here is the actual template. Hope that helps, --Chetblong^{T C} 07:23, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Is it OK if I copy it and use it myself, then? -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 07:26, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes that's perfectly fine, hope you like it! --Chetblong^{T C} 07:43, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll just have to remember to update it! -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 07:47, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I can has thankspam?

Quick, let's delete the front page!

No seriously, thanks for contributing at my RfA which ended 68/0/0. I'm amazed and humbled by the result, and the warm and supportive comments that went with it. I've put the pic of Tiger here because although I know not everyone appreciates lolcats, to me it illustrates the possibility of taking things seriously with a light heart. I will try to do so, and remain open to the being slapped down if I do start being impossibly pompous. Thanks Pedro :  Chat  for your generous nomination, and also to Master of Puppets for ripping off his thankspam without so much as a by-your-leave. To all who contributed - especially the eventually withdrawn (but very interesting) neutral and oppose - thank you! Now it's off to new admin school for me, before I dare do anything for real...

Anything in particular you want to go over?   jj137 (talk) 03:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Well I'm going over to check out the new admin school right now, and after I'm done over there I'll know what I need help with. Talk to you later, Chetblong^{T C} 03:20, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, take your time with it.   jj137 (talk) 03:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Those pretty much just explain information about that person's computer, the IP address, etc. I don't know if it's absolutely necessary to check WHOIS or RDNS before making every block, because I'm pretty sure if it's a school or shared IP address a bot will tag it with the appropriate template.   jj137 (talk) 16:47, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure. :)   jj137 (talk) 19:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Still

I still haven't found your page, despite my earlier search, and a new search. I have created a hidden page challenge of my own, that you might be interested in, at User:Basketball110/Hidden Page. Cheers, B110 _{communicate (that means talk)} 03:29, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Give me the link, and then I'll delete your comment. B110 _{communicate (that means talk)} 05:00, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

By the way, how did you find it? Was it by looking at my recent changes, or by the way I set it up?B110 _{communicate (that means talk)} 05:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Don't give me the link... I said that because... well... I sort of lost the page myself, but them I remembered where I'd hiden the link. I'd like to know where you'd found the link, though. B110 _{communicate (that means talk)} 05:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Did you look at my contributions? B110 _{communicate (that means talk)} 05:12, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Nope try again. :) Chetblong^{T C} 05:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Did you take a hyperactive cat, pluck it's poor little brain out, and insert coffee, producing a fortune cookie size answer? This could also be called "What Links Here". B110 _{communicate (that means talk)} 05:36, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Nope, you're close but I didn't use "What Links Here". :) --Chetblong^{T C} 05:39, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

How long did it take you, after I had told you? B110 _{communicate (that means talk)} 05:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

A few seconds. --Chetblong^{T C} 05:45, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm... did you look on any of my subpages, for anything? B110 _{communicate (that means talk)} 05:48, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Nope, I never had to even enter your userspace to find the page. Try again :). --Chetblong^{T C} 05:49, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

New pages log, even though it is in userspace? HUH? B110 _{communicate (that means talk)} 05:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Nope I didn't use the new pages log, and what I meant above was, I didn't have to go to any page in your userspace other than your secret page to find your secret page. :) --Chetblong^{T C} 05:56, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Is finding secret pages among the special tools of an admin? B110 _{communicate (that means talk)} 05:58, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but I indeed have to go. I guess more tommorow. Cheers, B110 _{communicate (that means talk)} 06:00, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Nope lol. :D --Chetblong^{T C} 06:02, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

See ya. --Chetblong^{T C} 06:02, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Am I anywhere near the answer? B110 _{communicate (that means talk)} 14:48, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure I'll see what I can do. And I'll tell you what I used, it's a page called prefixindex, now see if you can find my page . --Chetblong^{T C} 21:35, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Good enough for me, right now. B110 _{communicate (that means talk)} 22:38, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

	The Hidden Barnstar
	This user has found Basketball110's secret hidden sub page! Can you find it?

Other than yours, I've found 2 more secret pages (both I didn't cheat, sort of). On one, I started looking for it on his sub page, and found it. The other, I looked in the prefixify thing, and found the barnstar for what you get if you find it, and it was an easy hike from there.

RfA cards and recall

What is the process of recall exactly? Everybody's telling me stuff about it, but it doesn't make much sense to me. Am I just missing something? And one more question: How do you make RfA cards? — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 03:45, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Administrators open to recall is where you can find out about the idea, here are my standards. A RFA card is pretty easy here's the code for mine:

<div class="NavFrame" style="padding: 0px; border-style: none; font-size: 100%;"> <div class="NavFrame" style="padding: 0px; border-style: none;"> <div class="NavHead" style="background: lightGray; text-align: center;"><font color="#000000">My RFA →→→</font></div> <div class="NavContent" style="display: none; text-align: center;"> <div style=" border: outset 1px DarkGray; background-color: DarkGray; padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px; "> <div style=" border: outset 1px DimGray; background-color: DimGray; padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px; "> <div style=" border: inset 2px white; background-color: #f5f5f5; padding: 10px; color: black; "> <div align="center"> [[Image:Wikipedia-logo.png|200px]] '''Dear {{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind vote on my [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Chetblong 2|request for adminship]] which succeeded with a final result of (29/5/5).''' I cannot thank you enough for you're support on my RFA. And now that I am a sysop, I will work hard to improve the encyclopedia with my new editing tools. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any queries you have. I would be glad to help you along with the other group of kind and helpful administrators. Thank you again and I look forward to editing alongside you in the future. — ~~~~ </div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

Thanks! You know, I didn't know you responded to me; I don't think you put a notice on my talk page. Oh, well, nonetheless, your advice helped a bunch! Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cuyler91093 (talk • contribs) 06:30, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

So how do you manage to send an RfA card to everybody that participated in an RfA? Sometimes, there may be hundreds of voters, and that must be very tedious. — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 10:35, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

It wasn't too hard. The way I did it was I created the card then I saved it to my computer using notepad, then I opened up everyones talk page in a tab then I pasted the code onto their talk page from the notepad file. Hope that helps! --Chetblong^{T C} 19:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, wow. But you must need to be a professional designer in order to create such masterpieces! I give you credit! — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 21:01, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

OhanaUnited's RFA

.: Thank you! :.

Thank you for participating in my 2nd RfA and supporting me! My RfA passed unanimously at 79 support, 0 oppose, 0 neutral. I would like to take this opportunity to thank AndonicO and Rudget for nominating me. I also want to thank LaraLove for persuading me to keep going after I failed my first RfA. To be really honest, I am surprised that my RfA passed without any oppose or neutral. Being an administrator means more responsibilities, especially when I'm now an administrator on both English Wikipedia as well as WikiSpecies. I promise everyone that I will use the tools effectively to serve the community. If you need help on anything, don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Last but not least, remember the motto for Ohana: "When it comes to family, nobody gets left behind." Once again, thanks for placing your trust in me to help the community.

I would like the colors exactly the same as yours (same font, as well), and perhaps Oreo Cookie surrounding it? (Or, you can just upload one with no oreo cookies surrounding it), whichever is easier for you. Thanks, again! - Milk's Favorite Cookie 15:54, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

SocialPicks

I don't know if you've seen this article, but would you stop by the AfD page Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/SocialPicks to offer your opinion on whether the article subject is notable? It looks like a couple of admins are campaigning for "delete" votes, so I think it might be good if some other admins take a look at what is going on. Thanks. Dimension31 (talk) 01:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but I !voted delete on the AFD. At this point in time it doesn't appear to be notable. It was written like a good stub, so don't stop trying to contribute to Wikipedia just because this page (if it does) gets deleted. I hope there's no hard feelings! Cheers , Chetblong^{T C} 01:20, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah no worries. Can you tell me at what point a consensus is considered to have been made? Dimension31 (talk) 01:22, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Also, as a note, I have removed some of the sources that Daddy.twins complained about and added another one about the Reuters partnership. Dimension31 (talk) 01:23, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Well at this point there is no consensus, the AFD will be closed on February 27 when an admin (not me because I partook in the discussion) will decide whether it should be closed as keep, delete or no consensus (which defaults to keep). WP:CON might also help you to understand what Wikipedia defines as consensus. Hope that helps! Chetblong^{T C} 01:31, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Can I just point out the false accusation here of an administrator campaign for delete !votes? As far as I can see, the only person who has alerted others of this AFD is Dimension31. Metros (talk) 03:25, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I was referring to your commenting on another user's Keep decision. Please do not falsely accuse me of making false accusations. I don't think an admin should behave the way you have been behaving, and please remember to assume good faith! Dimension31 (talk) 05:18, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Then you need to assume good faith and realize that's part of the AFD process. It's a discussion, not a vote. Metros (talk) 11:23, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I have been assuming good faith, and encourage you to do the same. I was pointing out that your "comments" have been extremely one-sided and it seems like you ignore facts in order to pursue your agenda. Dimension31 (talk) 18:11, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Mistake in deletion?

Hey! I think there may have been an accident in deleting a Wiki article.

If you can correct this error that would be great. Otherwise let me know. Thanks!—Noetic Sage 06:25, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

You are correct! That is the second time that has happened to me today. There was something wrong with the page links on the AFD because when I clicked delete it deleted the AFD instead. Thanks for pointing that out! --Chetblong^{T C} 06:34, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
