User talk:Geoffr

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No problem Geoffr! I had to drop off a package for a friend (Postal Strike in England at moment) and took the opportunity to take some photos of two nearby railway station. Got off at Woolston, delivered it, then walked to Sholing- both well worth a visit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bashereyre (talk • contribs) 22:15, 13 October 2007

I'm in the UK, so I know about the postal strike all too well. Great pictures BTW. Geoff Riley 21:18, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good decision at RfA

You made a good decision to withdraw, in my opinion. Keep editing consistently and well for several more months (at a rate of 300 or so edits per month, I'd say maybe 6 more months might be enough), and I think you'll find the community more open to your nomination for adminship. Best regards, K. Scott Bailey 21:11, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I hope you know, it was nothing personal, from any of us who commented on your RfA. I know it was brought in good faith. Some things I look for in an admin candidate are as follows:
  • Shows knowledge of the policies relevant to the areas of WP that they wish to contribute to as an admin.
  • Demonstrates a clear understanding of WP:BLOCK. (i.e. When it should be applied and when it should not.)
  • Has a decent track record of strong contributions to Wikipedia. I usually use about 2,000 edits as my benchmark, but I will consider users who have slightly less than that, and I don't vote for every editor who has more than that. With less than 500 in your track record, you had little chance of garnering much support.
  • Expresses themselves clearly in writing. This is where grammar, punctuation, and spelling come into play. It's important (in my opinion, at least) that admins have at least a basic concept of how to properly use the English language.
  • Demonstrates a cool head in the face of contentious situations.

I hope this helps, and let me know when you plan to run again! K. Scott Bailey 21:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I wasn't taking it personal, although I didn't think my grammar was so bad... being English as I am! Hey, I'm a computer geek... :-) Geoff Riley 21:51, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Oh, and I was working out how to withdraw already before you had posted your comment. So I wouldn't let you take the creditblame for my withdrawal anyway. LOL Geoff Riley 21:54, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words. I'm in a bit of a 'cleanup frenzy' at the moment. Snowy 1973 23:00, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Current Events spammer

Hi, you warned this person numerous times (a few "last warnings" also). Please do what you say you are going to do. Please look. [1] [2]


Thank you, WikiTony (talk) 02:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Blackpool

Please explain to me how the addition of external links relevant to the town of Blackpool (Official Tourism Site, Illuminations Information, etc) is vandalism. Surely, in an article about an actual location, links to it's Local Authority tourism website and information on its largest tourist attraction are not, in fact, vandalism. Rather, they are perfectly pertinent to the article in question. In short, how does this fit any definition of vandalism? --194.82.141.169 (talk) 16:03, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
