Actually, it wasn't his user page at the time you tagged it. You tagged it at the same time I was moving it. When the user name is so close to the article name, and they don't have a user page, it's easier to move it than tag it for deletion, and it may well have been what he meant to do in the first place.

  • Thanks for the explanation. At first I thought he removed the AFD, then I saw it was a User Page. I thought I had messed up and quickly apologized. (Too quickly) --Stangbat

[edit] OK, Just how many people....

...are watching my Talk page for entertainment? Fan-1967 02:51, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

  • He he. I think there are quite a few. But seriously, I've learned a lot from watching your contributions and how you work. Thanks for all the effort. Stangbat 02:55, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you for your support in my recent RfA. I think valid criticisms were raised in areas that I need to work on, so I've withdrawn my name. I intend to work on addressing the concerns that were raised, and think I need to work contributing without allowing myself to become as stressed as I have been at times, which did result in some inappropriate behavior. Perhaps I may re-explore adminship at some point in the future, but it's a little early to consider that. Again, thank you. Fan-1967 21:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

You've done a lot of good for Wikipedia and I hope you continue. I think you are taking the criticism in the correct manner: not a personal attack but a chance to improve. FWIW, I still don't think that the admin tools in your hands would have been any problem. RCP is not easy and is aggravating. I did it for a little while and quickly realized that I could get too caught up in it and take it personally. Even the most even keeled person can get testy in the situations it puts you in. I don't think I could have maintained my civility as long and often as you did. Best of luck. Stangbat 21:43, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
