Your RFA

I'm afraid that your RFA is unlikely to be successful. I do not want to be unfriendly but I can already hear the comments on the RFA - with your low edit count and lack of experience on Wikipedia internal processes I doubt they will be very friendly. So I think the RFA will be closed under the "not-now-clause" very soon. If you devote another few months to the project and try to be more involved, I think you may be more successful to try then. Have a nice day anyways. So#Why 18:37, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some further thoughts: You've only got a handful of contributions, and while they're definitely appreciated, I think you'll find that most RFA participants are looking for someone with a wider breadth of experience. Consider joining a Wikiproject and spending some more time patrolling recent changes. Let me know if you have any questions. If you'd like to withdraw your RFA, just let me know, or say so on the RFA. –xeno (talk) 18:37, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I've closed your RfA per WP:NOTNOW. I hope you decide to stay, and as you get into article development, you'll develop the necessary experience. Remember, however, that adminship is nothing special; article builders keep the encyclopedia running, and are the reason why Wikipedia is so popular.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:54, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Help me!

Please help me with... I was researching Friendly's restaurant chain and the top level owner for the chain is BRIX Holdings, LLC which owns the sub Corp, Amici Partners Group, that owns Friendly's. BRIX Holdings, LLC and Amici Partners Group do not have pages of their own. The information is readily available online but I don't have any experience with creating a page from scratch. I spent a good hour trying to figure out exactly how to do it and realized this is way above my level. Absolutely any help would be greatly appreciated!
