Hey; me again :) just wondering where that page for Funniest Reasons to Oppose an RfA is? Sounds like it's worth a visit :P Regards, Anthonycfc ^{[T • C]} 16:10, 8 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Oh that :P I haven't got round to making it. When I was creating Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/RfA stats, I came across some bizarre and hilarious opposes and it inspired me for a few minutes, but on second thoughts I wasn't sure; people might get offended if I called their vote "funny". So if I do make a page, it'll be reasons to avoid using in RfAs. If you want to see some of the opposes I mean though, check out the stats page; order it so the ones with one oppose are altogether, and hunt through there. Mostly, they are vandals or trolls, but some are legitimate users. Have fun! --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 16:36, 8 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Reverting Vandalism

Thanks Majorly for reverting that. I dont understand why that user does that. Why hasnt he been banned? He does the same to Ddstretch as well. ~ JFBurton 04:07, 8 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Yep! Btw congrats to being our newest admin, both by promotion date and first edit date! I hope you've having fun with the new buttons... ;) See you around. --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 13:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Thank you again! Also don't forget one of the youngest ;), but right now we have some excelent candidates and soon they will be helping with the backlogs. How am I doing so far, I want to know so I don't keep making mistakes. Cheers! ~ Arjun 14:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Let's see, not blocked any bureaucrats yet or deleted the main page as far as I can see... yeah you're doing fine. Just ask if you need help with anything. Cheers. --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 14:44, 9 February 2007 (UTC-5)

WP:AIV report

OK, thanks for letting me know. I thought 24 warnings might be enough! In future I'll know to give yet another warning after the latest block expires before going back to WP:AIV. I've now warned that user. - Fayenatic london 15:04, 9 February 2007 (UTC-5)

The warnings expire after the block unfortunately, and especially with IPs which might be shared. Sure, if the user keeps vandalising, report again. --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 15:09, 9 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Yes rly!!!

Thank You,
Majorly/Archives/13 for your Support! Thank you for your support in my RfA, which closed at 111 / 1 / 2. I am humbled and rather shocked to see such kind comments and for it to reach WP:100. Please feel free to leave a note if I have made a mistake or if you need anything, I will start out slow and tackle the harder work once I get accustomed to the tools. Thank you once more, I simply cannot express in words my gratitude.

...fly on littlewing. ~ Arjun 14:51, 9 February 2007 (UTC-5)

My RfA

Word of thanks for Majorly
Good morning (GMT time); I'd like to thank you for supporting, opposing, taking a neutral stance to, closing, suggesting I close or otherwise contributing to my recent RfA; unfortunately, I felt that although there were more support than oppose votes, the weight of the latter was too great for me to accept the promotion with so many not trusting me with the janitor's trolley -

I therefore decided to end my nomination prematurely. The feedback I received was invaluable, and I am striving to start afresh with all of the advice my fellow Wikipedians offered. In order to meet the aim of adapting to your advice, I've drew up a list of aims (located here) which I intend to follow from this point onwards.

If you have any further advice or comments for me, don't hesitate to post me a message

at my talk page where it will be graciously and humbly accepted. Once again, thank you and I do hope to bump into you around the encyclopedia!

Regards,
Anthonycfc ^{[T • C]}

Oh, and sorry for posting that in the wrong place. I thought the discussion page was for discussing the main list at User:Majorly/Removed stuff. Anyway, I just had to comment on it. I hope it gave you a laugh too. =) Have a great rest of your day! – Lantoka (talk) 15:41, 10 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Comments on Firefoxmans RFA

Hi there, I have realised my comments about the edit counts per month were a little out of order on firefoxmans RfA and I will openly admit that I was wrong, I'd just like to thank you for telling me about this on the RFA. Thanks and if you have any other comments you may wish to contact me on my talk page or leave comments on my editor review.

Thanks for your help on California Gold Rush

Thanks for your recent help reverting vandalism on the California Gold Rush article. As you may be aware, the California Gold Rush article is set to be the Main page Featured article in about 48 hours, beginning at midnight UTC, February 14, 2007. You are probably also know that Main page articles typically undergo substantial vandalism beginning about now, peaking during the Main page appearance, and continuing for some days thereafter. Assistance from all who have helped in the past with this article is very much appreciated during these next five days or so! NorCalHistory 18:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC-5)

TFD Closure

Hi! Could you explain your decision on Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2007_February_4#Template:Spoiler-season? I don't see any consensus there. Numerically, I see roughly 13 deletes and 11 keeps. Obviously, the numbers aren't all important, so I'm assuming you made your decision based on something else, so I'm asking for an explanation. Thanks! --Tango 15:42, 12 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Tango, TfD isn't a vote on pure numbers. The outlook of keeps appeared to be "I like its" - while the reason to delete seemed well reasoned, I thus saw no consensus to delete but a general consensus that the template is not really appropriate and is redundant to Template:Spoiler. You are of course welcome to take it to DRV if you do not agree with my closure. Thanks. --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 15:54, 12 February 2007 (UTC-5)

In this case there is no difference between delete and redirect. If there was no consensus to delete, there was no consensus to redirect. Had the decision been to delete, all the uses of the template would have been turned into {{spoiler}}s anyway, which is exactly what redirecting does. The quality of the reasons is rather subjective, and I would disagree with your view, but that's not really important if you agree that there was no consensus to delete. I'll take it to DRV if I have to, but I would rather discuss with you and reach an agreement without having to take formal action. --Tango 17:00, 12 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Not too sure what there is to discuss. If I got it wrong, which it seems I did, a deletion review would be the best place to go. Hope that's OK. --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 17:04, 12 February 2007 (UTC-5)

If you agree that you got it wrong, then you can just reverse the decision, no need for a review. --Tango 17:30, 12 February 2007 (UTC-5)

I wouldn't know what to do there :) Can you reverse it? My consent is given for you to re-close the debate, as it seems I made a mistake... can you do that, or do I need to? --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 17:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC-5)

It's just a matter of editing the TFD page (I suggest you strikeout your original closure and write a new one) and reverting the edit to the template itself. I can do it and link to this discussion, but it would be better if you did it. Thanks for reconsidering!! --Tango 18:08, 12 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Off-topic question

In response to your statement at Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard#Speedy name changes... I've toyed with the idea of submitting an RfB, but have some concerns that I'm potentially too green an admin (promoted in November) to even have a snowball's chance in hell.

Given your knowledge of 'cratdom (the requirements, the backlogs, etc), do you think I should go for it? EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Not yet I don't think, although I would certainly support you. Most like about a year experience (although Essjay was promoted at about 9 months). I do however have a great candidate coming up very soon, who I shall be nominating for bureaucrat. I'm looking forward to it immensely – he'll be a fantastic bureaucrat. Regards. --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 15:52, 13 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Alrighty, that's what I thought; thanks for the answer (and the kind words about supporting me). EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:08, 13 February 2007 (UTC-5)

my edit

Hi. I explained my edit on the talk page before I did it. Many other people have been deleting paragraphs filled with content that they think are not relevant to the article. That's what I did and I explained it. Thanks. GingerGin 14:52, 15 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Please use an edit summary next time you delete a large chunk of text. Thanks. --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 14:59, 15 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Metal Gear Series template

Thanks for locking it, I didn't know how to get an administrator to do so, but apperantly someone else did.

Anyway, we still need to settle the dispute. I personally don't think that A Man in Black will move from his position, and neither will I and most others. The argument on the side to keep out MGS4 mostly revolves around not having the requirements to be part of the template. Can you give us an opinion on whether it does or not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dboyz-x.etown (talk • contribs)

Sorry I'd rather be neutral on this issue. --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 17:33, 15 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Ah. Well, thanks for the tutorials, I think I should figure out a way to resolve this through one of those articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dboyz-x.etown (talk • contribs)

VegaDark's Request for Adminship

Majorly/Archives/13

Thank you for supporting my RfA. It was successful at a unanimous 52/0/0. I hope I can live up to the kind words expressed of me there, and hope to now be more of an asset to the community with access to the tools. Please feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any suggestions for me in the future. Thanks again! VegaDark 01:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Thornhill, West Yorkshire

Hi Majorly,

wonder if you can do something about the page Thornhill, West Yorkshire. The post town is been switched between Dewsbury and Wakefield on a regular basis, looks about 20 times since December. May be the page needs protecting again or the parties involved warned about this. I have no knowledge of the right entry, but it is annoying that it changes so regularly.

Keith D 08:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC-5)

I think requesting full page protection might be a good idea. --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 08:30, 16 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Thanks will look at that if the war goes on. It has only just started up again so probably too quick to jump. Keith D 08:46, 16 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Heading change

You should be aware of this edit I recently made, as it may effect your polling response. I made the edit in response to concerns on the talk page about the neutrality of the question. Cheers! Hipocrite - «Talk» 11:47, 16 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Oh, were you about to do the update? I saw Next Update was ready, so just did it. Sorry! -- ALoan (Talk) 12:47, 16 February 2007 (UTC-5)

I was just adding in one more article yes. It's OK now. Cheers. --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 12:50, 16 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Re:Your Rfa

I have been editing more than two years! - Patricknoddy 16:54, 16 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Hardly. Anyway, that was just part of the standard message I gave you. If you had been here for two years, but had around say 6000 edits editors may have considered you better, but you've been so sporadic, it's a little inaccurate to say you've been editing the full two years. I suggest you read the opposes carefully, and improve in the many areas suggested, should you wish to request again. Happy editing. --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 17:04, 16 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Brian biggs

Hi! I notice you deleted Brian biggs as "Very short article providing little or no context". Although it was short, the article did provide context enough to see the fellow illustrated published books. Did it really qualify as a speedy? And even if it did, wouldn't it be better to leave a note for the user in question? The edits seemed well-meaning, and I hate to discourage newbies unnecessarily. Thanks, William Pietri 18:09, 16 February 2007 (UTC-5)

It read like an advert to me: "Brian Biggs, an illustrator of: •The 4 book series Shredderman •The 2 book series Goofball Malone •And More!" It fell under WP:CSD#A1, and WP:CSD#A7 – he's only illustrated four books, and that's his official site. It failed to show how he is notable, in other words. --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 18:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC-5)

It's not a big deal, as I think the article would have failed an AFD under notability criteria eventually. But I disagree about both the speedy criteria; the content was limited, but there was context, or we wouldn't have been able to find his site. And to be fussy, the guy has illustrated 8 books, not 4. That seems to be an implied assertion of notability to me, at least enough to go for prod rather than speedy. Thanks, though, for adding the nice note to that user's page; I suspect that isn't the subject, but one of his fans. William Pietri 18:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC-5)

AIV

No one is doing anything at AIV. I reported a user there nearly half an hour ago, and have been reverting that user since then. Can you do anything? Acalamari 13:27, 17 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Thank you. Have I seriously violated 3RR after reverting that vandal several times after they vandalized beyond the final warning? Acalamari 13:35, 17 February 2007 (UTC-5)

No, reverting vandalism is not a problem. --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 13:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Phew. Thanks for your help. Acalamari 13:38, 17 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Crittenton

Nice work reverted the edits of (and giving a warning to) that vandal on the Javaris Crittenton article. Luckily he's not too sharp and couldn't figure out how to upload the pic as it appears to be of some guy flashing gang signs:[1] Thanks. Quadzilla99 14:29, 17 February 2007 (UTC-5)

I am flattered that you are interested in nominating me. Sure, I'll give it a go. I don't know if it will pass, but I guess it is worth a shot. Thanks. IrishGuy ^talk 16:34, 17 February 2007 (UTC-5)

OK. My email should be available now. IrishGuy ^talk 16:40, 17 February 2007 (UTC-5)

Invitation to comment about a category dispute

Hello, Majorly! I noticed that you were involved in deleting Category:Wikipedians born in 1993, and since there's a big war breaking out I'd like to invite you to comment here.
