GA nominee - George Harrison

I have quickfailed George Harrison, please see the talkpage for details. Good work, but more sources and references will be needed. I definitely do not expect them to be too hard to find, so I am sure that you will get enough good sources and pass the article soon enough! :) If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a message on my talkpage. Thank you and have a good day! :) CarpetCrawler (talk) 20:24, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

RfA

Hello, you might want to copyedit your response to my oppose at your RfA; you say you "least disagree with" IAR when I think you meant to say you disapproved of it somewhat. Responses to early opposes tend to have a large effect on RfA outcome, so lack of clarity in your position could hurt with pile-ons etc. And I must apologise for the nature of my oppose, it's really nothing personal. Regards, Skomorokh 13:16, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Re:Admin coaching

Well, I've been very inactive lately but that's really not an excuse to not be posting on your coaching page. The truth is, I do not have any more questions or other directions to go with you--basically you're finished with the questions. Maybe we should consider an RfA soon. It's up to you and Garden, as I'm only the co-coach. Cheers, Malinaccier P. (talk) 18:19, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

I'll co-nom if Wizardman wants to nominate you, and otherwise I will nominate you if you wish. Malinaccier P. (talk) 18:08, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I'll definitely nominate you now if you're ready to take the plunge. I should have a nomination statement up sometime tomorrow. Wizardman 00:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

I've also added my nomination. Malinaccier (talk) 04:52, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

ACK! So sorry, Dodge, I've been very busy of late. Apologies for not getting here in time to co-nom :P Best of luck mate. Garden. 23:21, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Question Five on your RfA

Hi there. I noted that you answered question five on your RfA as somewhere where you would decline the unblock request. While I did support your RfA, I feel obliged to inform you that your answer to Q5 was simply...wrong. An administrator is not allowed to decline an unblock request to a block he has himself made, per WP:UNBLOCK. If you do pass your RfA, I strongly encourage you to remember that. - NuclearWarfare ^{contact me}_{My work} 03:35, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Your RFA

Best wishes for your RFA -- Tinu Cherian - 05:24, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Triple Crown jewels

Your majesty, it gives me great pleasure to bestow the Triple Crown upon Dendodge for your contributions in the areas of WP:DYK, WP:GA, and WP:FA. Cirt (talk) 23:47, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for contributions to the project, Great work, especially on Schubert - Impromptu B-flat - good to see the featured sounds project moving along nicely. May you wear the crowns well. Cirt (talk) 23:47, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Condolences

I'm sorry your RFA isn't going well. I'm really hoping that you understand that it often happens that people say a lot of unpleasant things in RFAs, and there's a reason we can't do anything to fix that: if we accuse opposers of AGF violations, sometimes they just oppose the next time for the same reasons, but don't give their reasons. We really, really need to know where people's heads are at for RFA to work at all, so it's pretty much "anything goes". Don't let it get you down; it can all be sorted out after the RFA. - Dan Dank55 (send/receive) 20:56, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Your RFA has been closed as unsuccessful. Thank you for your interest in adminship. Please work on areas of concern and try again later. — Rlevse • Talk • 15:35, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

You are nominated!

You have been nominated again! Accept or decline? MHLU^talk 00:12, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

P.S. (phrase structer) Can you show me how to display banners that appear at the top of the page when you edit it? MHLU^talk 00:12, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

If there's one thing that the RfA crowd looks at poorly, it's a nom this quickly after one that doesn't do well. MHLU means well, but I'm sure you know to decline it. Wizardman 00:15, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm supposed to be stupid. I shouldn't have nominated this early. MHLU^talk 03:33, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm bummed out that your recent RfA failed; hopefully, the next time you apply, you will have addressed everybody's concerns, and Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Dendodge 5 will pass with flying colors. You might even hit WP:100 then, considering the fast rate at which you gained supporters (from 0 last time to 61 this time; wow). Interesting jingle in your thankspam, BTW; I'm listening to it right now. --Dylan620 _Contribs ^Sign! 02:25, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
