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.

Thanks for rollback!

Thanks for the rollback feature!! Is it OK to use to revert spam?? --Solumeiras (talk) 15:35, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Life on Mars Newsletter

The Life on Mars Wikiproject Newsletter Issue 2 - February 2008

"They reckon you've got concussion - I couldn't give a tart's furry cup if half your brains are falling out. Don't ever waltz into my kingdom acting king of the jungle." - Gene Hunt Project news Ashes to Ashes begins airing on BBC One and BBC Four this month: the project's volunteers could help out with all of these articles as well. Unfortunately there is no change in the volume of good articles in the project. A list of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes has been created and Alex Drake's article has been made. To do Character profiles, such as Gene Hunt, Sam Tyler, Annie Cartwright and Phyllis Dobbs are close to good article status, with a bit of work, we can do it. Lesser known characters but still of importance, like DC Chris Skelton and DS Ray Carling still need expanding or creating. Everything Ashes to Ashes should be worked on.

New members Llamafish, Gingerclan, Gogorox93, Kaid100, Onshore, Yukichigai and Jamesgibbon joined in January. Theelf29 has left the project.

Styrofoam1994

Recently, you awarded this user the ability to use rollback. From looking at his behavior, such as calling me a "perv" and impersonating a wikipedia administrator, I would like for you to reconsider the rollback ability. The user also made other bad edits which you can find on his contribs, thanks --DurzaTwink^TALK (talk) 21:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Here are some rationals as to why Styrofoam1994 should be rechecked for the ability to use rollback. Over here which talks about the user's personal attacks. here which was another warning about personal attacks. Here which is about him creating fake New Messages. [1] [2] [3] [4] are all about his vandalism on my userpage. here is where he impersonated an administrator. Here He made personal attack against me. What I am trying to say is that this user has made many unconstructive contributions to wikipedia. In hopes of keeping Wikipedia a safe and accurate encyclopedia, I sincerely believe that another check of Styrofoam1994 might be reasonable. Best Regards--DurzaTwink^TALK (talk) 02:12, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

You might also check if Durzatwink is a sockpuppet of User:Rws killer and all of his previous reincarnations as I strongly suspect it. _contribsSTYROFOAM☭1994^TALK 02:22, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Maybe it's just me, but a user with that name isn't going to write a featured article? Sometimes you just have to say the heck with the rules and just say buh-bye. Wildthing61476 (talk) 19:53, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

ANI thread about a rollback you granted

Hey Malinaccier, there's an ANI thread about Undead warrior (talk · contribs) who you recently (about 5 hours ago) granted rollback privileges to. His use of it has already come into question (this is obviously no fault of your own; don't feel any "I enabled a beast" remorse! :) ). Just thought you might be interested in seeing it. Metros (talk) 01:25, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I was just about to post to you myself as I am the editor who made the ANI request. The editor has used the rollback function to rv edits that were simple/constructive edits/corrections to templates that the user has some WP:OWN leanings as he is the creator. Because the corrections go against his personal opinion on formatting (he has something against the standard/consensus 'greys') he has used his newly acquired rollback privileges to revert "non-vandalism" edits. Perhaps you can assist? Thanks and have a nice day. 156.34.220.166 (talk) 01:28, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

RFA thanks

Thanks for supporting me! My RfA passed with a final tally of 5 neutrals, 1 oppose and 148 supports, a turnout I couldn't have dreamed of.

Blocked IP's

Hi. I was wondering once an IP has been temporarily blocked, what exactly they can edit - it seems they can edit their own talk pages as I have found 99.161.154.210 is deleting the warnings from his talk page, although he is currently blocked. Thanks. Tomayres (talk) 22:49, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

RFA Card

My RFA →→→

Dear Malinaccier, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind vote on my request for adminship which succeeded with a final result of (29/5/5).

I cannot thank you enough for you're support on my RFA. And now that I am a sysop, I will work hard to improve the encyclopedia with my new editing tools. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any queries you have. I would be glad to help you along with the other group of kind and helpful administrators.

Thank you again and I look forward to editing alongside you in the future. — Chetblong^{T C} 20:45, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Nousernamesleft

Hi, Malinaccier, thanks for voting in my RfA, which passed with 47 supports (I hoped for a perfect square, but two away is close enough!), 3 opposes (the first odd prime), and 0 neutrals. I'm glad the community has decided to trust me with the mop and bucket (the flamethrower isn't supported). Of course, special thanks goes to my nominators Auawise and that one guy who buried stuff (not that the thanks I give to the you isn't special!). If you ever need a hand with something, or just want to say hello, tough feel free to drop a line! Best wishes, Nousernamesleftcopper, not wood 23:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC) This doesn't even vaguely resemble a mop, but I couldn't find a picture of one.

I can has thankspam?

Quick, let's delete the front page!

No seriously, thanks for contributing at my RfA which ended 68/0/0. I'm amazed and humbled by the result, and the warm and supportive comments that went with it. I've put the pic of Tiger here because although I know not everyone appreciates lolcats, to me it illustrates the possibility of taking things seriously with a light heart. I will try to do so, and remain open to the being slapped down if I do start being impossibly pompous. Thanks Pedro :  Chat  for your generous nomination, and also to Master of Puppets for ripping off his thankspam without so much as a by-your-leave. To all who contributed - especially the eventually withdrawn (but very interesting) neutral and oppose - thank you! Now it's off to new admin school for me, before I dare do anything for real...

Re: Userpage

I use a higher resolution on my computer, so I much prefer the larger size, but since you've brought it up, I've re-vamped things and re-created my old low-res page, in a way that should allow me to make changes to both at once in a single edit. How's it look? Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 02:42, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Poo brown.

Thanks for dealing with that. Just to let you know I have protected both Poo brown and Poo brown. from creation as both titles have only been used only for inappropriate article creation by multiple sock puppets. Camaron | Chris (talk) 10:53, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Coach?

Per my talk page, it has been suggested that you would be willing to be my admin coach. I am excited as I am very willing to learn how to improve as an editor and to sharpen my skills in hopes of becoming an effective admin someday. I hope you will be willing to take on the challenge.

List of subnational entities

Hi, could you please give me the content that was in List of subnational entities so I can improve on it/re-create it/redirect it? This article is linked to by nearly 100 articles, a lot of them ones that I am working on heavily, and I would prefer not to have red links but I think that what was in the article was useful enough for me to salvage to re-create it.
