All the RfAs

Hi, Mjal. I see that you have voted in a lot of RfAs, even though you seem from your contributions to be an inexperienced user. I don't mean to devalue your votes, but do you know anything about the candidates, and about what admins do? Have you perhaps contributed from a different account before? Bishonen | talk 02:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Mjal, I would recommend that you thoroughly review the RFA candidates and their history, instead of adding 20 support votes within a half hour span. I personally don't believe that you can come to conlusions for 20 different users so quickly in a responsible manner. Cheers. --Madchester 07:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To tell you the truth its really quite easy you simply read the paragraph about the candidate and their answers to the question that were asked. Instead of looking for the number of edits I trust the number that was given by the candidate or the individual that nominated them, I sure if there were lying about their edit count someone would expose them relatively quickly. USER:Mjal 15:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually RFA success isn't solely determined by edit counts.... Per WP:GRFA#What RfA contributors look for, other qualities such as varied experience, helping with RC patrols, AFDs, and regular user interaction are as important for evaluating potential RFAs. Please keep that in mind, edit counts aren't the best indicator of a user's experience on Wikipedia. --Madchester 19:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is exactly the point I've been trying to make but in terms of user interaction that could only be evaluated if I had worked on or with that individual on Wikipedia. Mjal 19:11, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually you can easily obeserve user interaction by reviewing a user's edit history, especially on talk pages. Even if I've never worked with a particular RFA nominee, I always check up on the user's talk page to see how they interacted with other members of the Wikipedia community. If you're going to be voting for someone on an RFA, the least you can do is take some thought and effort evaluating their past efforts and communication, before giving them a vote. We have to be respectful of the policies on Wikipedia (comme WP:GRFA) to ensure that they remain valid among the community.--Madchester 20:41, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

YES

I used to edit and creat pages during school hours as an anonymous user for about a year. I stop doing this because some students from my school vandalized a page on wikipedia and thus got the schools IP was banned. I was then forced to work on wikipedia from home and just recently I began editing useing my account.

Request for edit summary

Thank you for your contributions. And I have a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries more often when you contribute. An edit summary helps others understand what you changed when checking the watchlist or the recent changes, and often times complements studying the diff. Think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. I hope you don't mind. :) Cheers – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:58, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AAP

I reverted your additions to that page. Instead, please look here: Wikipedia:How to create policy. NSL E _(T+C) 00:52, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't help looking in, since I still have your talk page on watchlist. If the official page on policy is too hard, you can always use the simple guideline:

How Wikipedia Actually Creates Policy

Step 1. Have an idea. Make a page about it.
Step 2. Tell everyone you know a billion times. Tell everyone you don't know a billion times.
Step 3. Get a few people to agree with you. Call it a consensus. Slap a {{policy}} tag on there.

Alternate Method

Step 1. Find a policy that's faulty
Step 2. Blantantly ignore it, advertise your civil disobedience if wished. Be nice while doing so.
Step 3. Until people give you a compromise or real world reason to stop, just don't. The winner is the person who edits the most without breaking WP:3RR or WP:CIVIL

Hi, just wanted to thank you for voting on my RFA, which went through with a count of (58/0/1), far better than I'd expected.

File:Plunger 250x410.jpg

Thanks for taking the time to vote in my RfA, which passed with a final vote of 54/2/1 despite my obvious inadequacy for the job. I'll do my level best to use the mop and bucket — or, as I said in my RfA, plunger — responsibly. Of course, in the best tradition of politicans everywhere, I've already broken a campaign promise (I blocked a vandal last night despite having said "I don't anticipate using the blocking tool very often"). Nevertheless, I'll try not to let the unbridled power corrupt me. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 14:56, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A review of the block log does not indicate that I've placed any blocks on this IP address, and that most of it's blocks have been for a short duration. If you contest a block made by one of the administrators, you may want to contact them directly. If you have information from the ISP holder of this IP in how they may want to deal with their end users that are vandalizing the encyclopedia so as not to hinder legitimate editors, you may want to post it on that user talk page as well.

Although this is a bit late in coming, I want to thank you for voting (no matter what your vote was) in my recent request for adminship. You might be aware that it did not pass due to a lack of consensus. The final tally was 21/9/10.

Thanks for your voting!

Hi, thanks for your voting on my RFA. It has finished with the result 88/14/9, and I am promoted. I am really overwhelmed with the amount of support I have got. With some of you we have edited many articles as a team, with some I had bitter arguments in the past, some of you I consider to be living legends of Wikipedia and some nicks I in my ignorance never heard before. I love you all and I am really grateful to you.

If you feel I can help you or Wikipedia as a human, as an editor or with my newly acquired cleaning tools, then just ask and I will be happy to assist. If you will feel that I do not live up to your expectation and renegade on my promises, please contact me. Maybe it was not a malice but just ignorance or a short temper.
