My RfA

My RFA →→→

Dear Cargoking, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind vote on my request for adminship which failed with a final result of (40/19/12).

Thank you for your participation in my RfA which I withdrew after concerns of my knowledge of policy. Special thanks are owed to Coffee, who defended me throughout and whom I cannot thank enough for the nomination; to 2over0 for being supportive and helpful; to A Stop at Willoughby for the thorough, thoughtful and articulate support rationale; to IP69.226.103.13 for maintaining composure and for a pleasant interaction on my talk page and, last but not least, to Juliancolton who was good enough to close the RfA at my request and, frankly, because an editor whom I respect so much found the time to support me! If the need for more admins at the main page is still apparent in a few months, I may try again. Thank you all for a relatively drama-free RfA and for providing me with much material from which to learn from my mistakes. You're all welcome to drop by my talk page any time. God save the Queen Wiki! HJMitchell You rang? 20:18, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiCup/2010 Signups

Sorry to contact you this late, but when I removed someone's UN flag, I realised you were using the EU flag. After a quick chat with another judge, we decided this wasn't really valid, as it represents an organisation, rather than a location. Germany, the most powerful EU nation, and Belgium, the home of the EU president, are both still available, as are most of the Irish provincial flags (I'm right in thinking you're from the ROI?). Would it be possible to switch it to one of them or something else? I thought it only fair to try and keep some consistency. Again, sorry. J Milburn (talk) 22:23, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Based on the note above, I've given you the German flag. You're welcome to change it to something else later today (or even early in the competition, I doubt there will be a problem). Again, sorry you weren't contacted about this sooner. J Milburn (talk) 02:07, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

The 2010 WikiCup begins tomorrow!

Welcome to the biggest WikiCup Wikipedia has yet seen! Round one will take place over two months, and finish on February 26. There is only one pool, and the top 64 will progress. The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located here. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table. Remember that only articles worked on and nominated during the competition are eligible for points. Have fun, and good luck! Garden, iMatthew, J Milburn, and The ed17 19:16, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Your recent good article also has an award nomination for television current affairs. --candle•wicke 01:02, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

What are the chances of us getting Paul Cunningham's hat onto the Main Page as a DYK? :-) --candle•wicke 01:05, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Maybe. Bryan Dobson and John Kilraine are in a British newspaper! Well they're really just the supporting actors... --candle•wicke 09:47, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Tommie done. (Paul too) ;) --candle•wicke 01:34, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Cargojack, why don't you join him / her, huh? --candle•wicke 20:25, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Is there anything in this for this as my entry is blocked. There's a possible DYK in it. --candle•wicke 02:37, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm... I just did it three times and it came up once. How odd. I wonder if the teacher is notable... one more reliable source and maybe... --candle•wicke 10:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I remember him... I think I'm going to leave him until next weekend when I have more time. He seems interesting enough to inspire me to do as many more as are online (which is about four more I think before Ireland caught up with the internet). Plus I'll end up tidying Sarah Flannery which is weird since I've already done her brother just this week. Hmmm... good topic? The Flannery family... :P how can anyone have lights named after them as her article claims. --candle•wicke 10:52, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Well now I've made someone's day... --candle•wicke 18:22, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 and Dermatology-related content

I noticed that you are participating in the 2010 WikiCup. I have been working on the Bolognia push which is a project to make sure Wikipedia has an article (or redirect) on every know cutaneous condition. With that being said, there are still many cutaneous condition stubs to be made, and Bolognia could be a source for a lot of DYK articles, etc. Therefore, I was thinking maybe we could help one another... a competative WikiCup that also serves to improve dermatologic content on Wikipedia. I could e-mail you the Bolognia login information if you have any interest? ---kilbad (talk) 16:30, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

RFA

Hi,

I recently created a page for Barbara Dillon, which you have labeled for deletion. If you check, she is credited as a writer on IMDB for the movie A Mom for Christmas. Her books are also listed on Amazon.com.

WikiCup 2010 January newsletter

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. We've had some shakeups regarding late entries, flag changes and early dropouts, but the competition is now established- there will be no more flag changes or new competitors. Congratulations to Sasata (submissions), our current leader, who, at the time of writing, has more listed points than Hunter Kahn (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions) (second and third place respectively) combined. A special well done also goes to Fetchcomms (submissions)- his artcle Jewel Box (St. Louis, Missouri) was the first content to score points in the competition.

Around half of competitors are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. 64 of the 149 current competitors will advance to round 2- if you currently have no points, do not worry, as over half of the current top 64 have under 50 points. Everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places in round 2! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, by email or on IRC. Good luck!

The Saturday Night Show

You might find this review useful for that article. This on the mystery appearances of two of the guests. This on sponsorship. Interestingly, Wikipedia now has an article called 2010 Haiti earthquake conspiracy theories which has survived an AfD and is scheduled to appear in the DYK section. --candle•wicke 17:13, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Should? No, at least not yet. It is one I have been watching but I wouldn't want to create it until some time has passed. There are plenty of high profile crimes and trials which don't have articles after several years and I'm personally not very enthusiastic about getting involved in starting anything as recent as that at the moment. --candle•wicke 18:17, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

I've created Jonathan Mullin after seeing this a few days ago, don't know very much else about him though. --candle•wicke 18:21, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

I know, I'll see if I can do the same for sugru which I found the other week. ;) --candle•wicke 18:32, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Recent warnings

Surely it goes against policy to issue 4 separate warnings in one go. I think it would have been better to use uw-vandalism4im rather than the separate warnings. LittleOldMe (talk) 12:20, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

A few things

I know about that, I just haven't got round to checking how it works. I always wondered about a WikiProject RTÉ, like Wikipedia:WikiProject BBC, covering radio, TV and all the rest. And Newstalk, TV3, Today FM, etc need not feel left out entirely as George Hook, Mark Cagney, Ray D'Arcy, etc would come under it as well. But I'd support anything really. --candle•wicke 21:16, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

IT archive links

Just curious, what are the archive urls for the Irish Times? Snappy (talk) 16:40, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

By the way the pages don't just disappear, they are just difficult to access (but sometimes can be accessed). This looks incredibly complicated... "Your E-mail Address"? Would you be able to archive this and this as I use them on a regular basis for making good articles and they go out of date in April. --candle•wicke 23:21, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Goodness! Thanks for correcting me there, stupid mistake. Cheers, Ouro (blah blah) 11:57, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Cusack

I see you've added several Wikiprojects at Talk:Cusack. I'm wondering whether it was in error you added WikiProject United Kingdom there, as there appears to be essentially no UK connection. --Yumegusa (talk) 00:22, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Well done on that, was going to spend a considerable amount of time on it, nice to see it has improved during the week. :) --candle•wicke 22:31, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to run over some of your changes, but I was trying to get the two pages on the subject merged before they diverged further. -- Cyrius|✎ 08:49, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

George Lee (journalist)

Hey, just dropping in to let you know I've started the GA review. It looks good, but there are a few relatively minor issues letting it down which I've detailed at Talk:George Lee (journalist)/GA1. They shouldn't take too long to fix, so let me know when you're done and I'll take a look in more detail. Drop me a line if you want me.
