Giants

what would you say are the chances of the giants beating the pats? RC-0722 communicator/kills 16:31, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I don't know. Moss hasn't done to well lately and he's in legal trouble; brady's in cast. But weather won't be a factor cuz it's in arizona. I won't be able to watch it (cuz I don't have a tv); but I will be folowing it on msn sports. But anywho, I think it'll be a close game, but I think the giants 'll win. But my opinion might be a little biased considering I live near New York. RC-0722 communicator/kills 20:17, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
I don't know, the Giants beat the Cowboys and my Pack. They stand a good chance of beating the Pats, imo. Burner0718(Jibba Jabba!) 20:25, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
No offense, but PUT A HELMET ON!!! RC-0722 communicator/kills 04:25, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Uhh...I don't hate the Pats, I just would like the Giants to win, even though they beat my Pack. Burner0718(Jibba Jabba!) 04:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

RFA

GlassCobra/Archive 10, Thank you for your support in my RFA which passed 43/0/1. I would like to especially thank Bibliomaniac15 for being my nominator and admin coach. I would also like to thank Rudget for being my co-nominator. I'm sure that I can live up to the community's expectations as an administrator, and not totally mess everything up. Thanks again for your support! Malinaccier (talk) 17:08, 26 January 2008 (UTC) P.S. You know I'm going to have to steal your userpage layout because of that comment! =D

My Rfa

I wish to thank you for being supportive of my effort to regain my adminship. Though it was not successful, your support was still very much appreciated. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Thank you!--MONGO 18:06, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hey GlassCobra, I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for your support in my recent RFA. I look forward to making the Wiki a little better, and hope I can live up to the community's support. Thanks again, and feel free to come ask if you ever need anything!

My RFA

Thanks!
GlassCobra/Archive 10, thank you for showing your support in my RFA which passed with 38 support, 0 oppose, and 0 neutral! I also want to give special thanks to my Admin Coach and nominator, Useight for all of his help and support. I promise that I'll give my best effort as an admin, and I hope that your confidence in me proves to be justified. If I can ever be of any help, please let me know. In the mean time, I have some cleaning to do.

Have a great day! Jauerbackdude?/dude. 20:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh yeah! Him!

He kept adding in copyvio as noticed by admin User:Gogo Dodo. So I just kept reverting using Huggle and it automatically did it. I didn't even notice the AIV report was sent. My apologies! :-) ScarianCall me Pat 16:02, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello!

User:CripsRUs

I see you blocked him, based on his username. Looking at his contributions, I am almost positive this is a sockpuppet of the user ClayMort, who caused a lot of trouble last summer. One thing I have seen from his suspected sockpuppets is a fascination with a user called Jungwirthwillkillallrocks‎. At one point, this user and ClayMort were claiming they live on the same street. I suspect that he and ClayMort are one and the same. 65.29.162.39 left a message on my talkpage, and signed it ClayMort. This IP has caused a lot of vandalism in the past. I would like to launch a sockpuppetry investigation, but don't know how to go about it. Can you help? -- Elaich talk 03:50, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll take your advice. I've got him this time, though. Going back through the history of certain pages, I've found evidence that links the IP, ClayMort, Jungwirthwillkillallrocks, and CripsRUs as the same person. There are others, too. Jungwirthwillkillallrocks even posted a rant about me on his talk page (he thinks he got rid of that, but it's always there in history) over something I said to ClayMort months earlier. I'll contact the admin you mentioned. Thanks. -- Elaich talk 04:55, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
His 24 hours are up, and he hasn't changed his user name yet. -- Elaich talk 05:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment

Dude I just told eliach that jungwirthwillkillallrocks is my friend. Thats why I always write about him. For ClayMort, I have no clue who that is. But I can tell you that Rhode Island Hero is also me. The reason I created the Rhode Island Hero page is because when I went to my grandparent's house, I couldnt get into my old acount so I created a new one.Crips r us (talk) 20:36, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

RE:Your Rfa

I have withdrawn, it really is a good idea for administrators to have at least three months of experience, thanks. My Rfa should be archived, or not? Cheers. Earthbendingmaster 21:57, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

I am not one for sending round pretty pictures, but after my recent RfA, which passed 68/1/7, I am now relaxed and this is to thank you for your comments, which I will take on board. I look forward to wielding the mop with alacrity. Or two lacrities. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 21:42, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Ultraexactzz is now an Administrator

My RfA was successful, and closed with 44 Supports, 6 Opposes, and 1 Neutral. For your support, you have my thanks - I fully intend to live up to the lofty yet not-a-big-deal responsibility you have granted me. For those who opposed my candidacy, I value your input and advice, and hope that I may prove worthy of your trust. Special thanks to both Rudget and bibliomaniac15 for their expert coaching and guidance. I look forward to serving the project, my fellow editors, the pursuit of higher knowledge, et cetera, et cetera. Again, you have my thanks.

About the user that attacked me

Thank you so much. You responded to this incident quickly. I didn't know about it until 8 hours later. Once I found about about this attack, I immediately left a message to the user who reverted the attack and then went to the Administrators' Noticebord for a blocking.

The patio at the Partal Palace in the Alhambra, Andalucia.

A couple questions

since I can't reach you on MSN atm and I had better ask you before I forget.

  1. When wikifying an article, is there a standard as to which words should be wikified? I know you should wikify words that are relevant to the article to "build the web," but how many times should the word be wikified? Should every appearance of the word be wikified? Only the first time it occurs in the article? Only the first time in a section?
  2. Regarding infoboxes - How do you know which types of infoboxes exist? For instance, say article x is missing an infobox. How do we know which infobox it needs, from the ones that exist, and where can we find that infobox template?

Also, thanks for Bathrobe Cabal invitation :p When was the Admin requirement removed?

Anyways, thanks, GlassCobra :) — NovaDog — (contribs) 20:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Another question

from your ever-present adoptee. Regarding the removal of warnings from talk pages - when someone removes a warning from their talk page, is that considered vandalism? At what point does it become acknowledgment of the warning?

Also, what is up with all the RfA spam? What is your stance on it? — NovaDog — (contribs) 02:36, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

It is my own web site that I contributed true information. (Stated deleted as 'copyright infringment').

It is not for my own self as I am sometimes inundated with information through emails and calls about what information I have on the following people, especially those thousands of owners of William C. Gilpin animal prints:

William C. Gilpin Rita Hayworth Julia Phillips

And, the bio I enclosed from my web site www.pauldwillner.com is all the information I have on these famous people I have worked with in the past.

Nope, I don't know a thing about it. I haven't looked at the page since I botched the attempt to relist the AfD.

Hello.

Can you revert Jack Deth back to the way it used to be? I haven't had time to watch every film in the series, so naturally it was an incomplete article.
