Hey, Jusjih/Archives in May 2006, thank you so much for your vote and comments in my RfA, which passed with an overwhelming consensus of 95/2/2. I was very surprised and flattered that the community has entrusted me with these lovely new toys. I ripped open the box and started playing with them as soon as I got them, and I've already had the pleasure of deleting random nonsense/attacks/copyvios tonight. If I ever do anything wrong, or can help in some way, please feel free to drop me a line on my talk page, and I will do my best to correct my mistake, or whatever... Now, to that bottle of wine waiting for me... The JPS talk to me 22:24, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Jusjih/Archives in May 2006,

Thanks for voting on my RFA! I appreciate your faith in me, and was overwhelmed by the positive response to my RFA; for it shows that at least I'm doing something right. :) I've started working to improve myself already, and I hope that next time, things run better, and maybe, just maybe, one day we can bask on the shores of Admintopia together. Thanks and cheers, _-M o P-_ 21:52, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jusjih/Archives in May 2006, and thanks for supporting me on my recent request for adminship! It has succeeded with an unanimous support of 67 votes, so that I am now an administrator. Please feel free to leave a note on my talk page should you wish to leave any comments or ask for any help. Again, thanks a lot, AndyZ t 21:49, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Jusjih/Archives in May 2006, and thank you for vote on my recent RfA! With a final vote of 62/2/4, I have now been entrusted with the mop, bucket and keys. As I acclimate myself to my new tools, feel free to let me know how you believe I might be able to use them to help the project. Thanks again! RadioKirk talk to me 05:27, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ive added short notes to thoes picuters you said needed a discription, i hope theyre all right now.
Goonmaster 13:40, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also note that Goonmaster's rfa is not linked on the main rfa page, and is likely not to be. That page is semiprotected for this reason (to prevent new users from placing rfas that will clearly fail to meet the criteria). --Syrthiss 13:51, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

would like to note that I didnt apply for adminship yet so I will be removing your comment when I get around to it. Also note that my join date of wikipedia doesnt define my past experience; IE - editing newspapers before publication, or my interest in programming and HTML.

Goonmaster 19:58, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I got confused when I saw a page suggesting you applying for adminship while I found you from Special:Contributions/newbies. Your join date of Wikipedia doesn't define your past experience, but if you ever want to apply for adminship, most voters expect at least 2000 edits and 6 months here.--Jusjih 13:10, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your vote in my RfA! I failed to gain consensus, but I'm glad I accepted the nomination. Thanks for the comments! - Amgine 17:04, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Thank you for voting on my RFA, however I've decided to withdraw my nomination. I'll perhaps nominate myself in the future once I have more experience, and not to immaturely release RFAs. Until then, I'll continue working on Wikipedia. —THIS IS MESSEDOCKER (TALK) 21:04, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jusjih/Archives in May 2006,

Thank you for your vote in my recent unsuccesful RFA. I will strive to overcome any shortcomings you may have mentioned & will try & prove myself worthy of your vote.

Cheers

Jusjih/Archives in May 2006, thank you you so much for validating my RfA! I am grateful for all the supportive comments, and have taken both the positive and constructive on board. If I can ever make any improvements or help out in any way, please let me know, ditto if you see me stumble! Thanks again for your much appreciated support.

Hi there! Just letting you know that images with no source need not be placed on WP:IFD - they can just be tagged with {{subst:nsd}} and the uploader notified. Thanks for your help! Stifle (talk) 15:47, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The template operates under the speedy criteria I6, which reads:

Missing fair-use claim. Any image tagged only with {{fairuse}} or {{Non-free fair use in}}, with no fair use rationale, may be deleted seven days after it was uploaded. Images uploaded before May 4, 2006 should not be deleted immediately; instead, the uploader should be notified that a fair-use rationale is needed. Images uploaded after May 4, 2006 can be tagged with {{subst:nrd}}, and the uploader notified with {{subst:missing rationale|Image:image name}}.

Image:Mergelogosmall.JPG was not tagged with either of those templates, therefore your use of the template was incorrect. The rationale for fair use is given in the logo template with which it is tagged, namely:

This is a logo of a corporation, sports team, or other organization, and is protected by copyright and/or trademark. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of logos

• to illustrate the corporation, sports team, or organization in question
• on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. Certain commercial use of this image may also be trademark infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Logos.

Looking at the image, and the article it is used in, I can't see why this does not constitute fair use. If you disagree, perhaps you would care to add to the rationale already provided? See also discussion at Wikipedia talk:Fair use#Enforcement of fair use rationales Steve block Talk 13:16, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• • I'm sure you didn't mean to suggest I don't take copyright violation seriously, and I hope you also appreciate the differences in French and US law. The use of the template is incorrect per the fact that it invokes a speedy deletion clause which does noty apply in the instance you used it. I would hope you can acknowledge the fact that that image should not have been placed in a speedy deletion category, which is what you did through your action in placing that template. Steve block Talk 15:51, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• • • Again, I can only point you to the speedy deletion criterion. I would therefore argue that the burden of proof is on you to show me how this meets any of the speedy deletion criteria. I do not dispute what you did and why, I only point out that you were incorrect in doing so. The template, I agree, is unclear in its wording, but I hope you agree that the speedy criteria is absolutely clear and is the final statement with regards policy. The image cannot be speedily deleted, therefore it should not be in the category, nor tagged with the template. Steve block Talk 16:47, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your vote on my RfA. Unfortunately there was no consensus reached at 43 support, 18 oppose and 8 neutral. I've just found out that there is a feature in "my preferences" that forces me to use edit summaries. I've now got it enabled :) Thanks again. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 15:38, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, This certainly was a candidate for deletion in its original form. I've now added material and wonder if you could see what you think of it now? Dlyons493 Talk 20:24, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Jusjih, for voting in my RFA. It closed with a final result of 75/1/0. Now that I am an administrator here, I will continue to improve this encyclopedia, using my new tools to revert vandalism, block persistent vandals, protect pages that have been vandalized intensively, and close AFD discussions. Any questions? Please contact me by adding a new section on my . Again, thanks to all of you who participated!!! -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:13, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The count is in, and now I join the crew who wield the mops and pails. Thanks for your support! I pledge to serve both you and Jimbo Wales. If you have anything you need, then please don't think to hesitate. For I am the very model of a grateful admin designate! ♫Bucketsofg✐♪

Hello. If you'll withdraw this, I'll mediate between you two. The mood on RfC is a little bit ugly right now in general, and there are better (lower level) ways to handle something like this one. - brenneman^{L} 14:03, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

COncur. A much better way. Midgley 15:31, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

you said "hopefully the candidate gets better...". left vague like this, it's a personal attack. one should write, rather, "i believe that the candidate can improve in x. examples of where is failing and why... how person could have done better. Kevin Baas^talk 15:13, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Jusjih/Archives in May 2006! Thank you for voting for my recent RfA, which passed (to my extreme surprise and shock) with a total tally of 66/15/2. For that, I would like to thank you and offer a helping hand in any admin-related tasks that may be required -- it's as simple as leaving a message on my talkpage. Thanks again! -→Buchanan-Hermit™/!? 22:27, 23 May 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Hello Jusjih! Thank you for supporting my request for adminship. Hopefully I'll continue to run into you around the project. Thanks again, and if you see something that I could be doing better, feel free to send me a message. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 01:20, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for voting in my request for administrator rights, even though it failed (13/30/4). Sadly, work has forced me to respond to you all using a substituted message rather than a personalized response. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that administrators, to me, should be chosen and approved by the community, and I will continue working to become a better editor and Wikipedian. No matter what the alignment of your vote was, I will take your comments seriously and use them to improve myself. If you wish to discuss your comments personally with me, I would be more than glad to talk about things since the RfA is now over; just leave your concern on my talk page and we will sort things out. Thanks again for voting, and happy editing! - Corbin ^{Be excellent}

Thank you for your recent vote on my RFA, regardless of how you voted. I appreciate all votes. I am going to wait until I have more edits in all namespaces. (And also improve answering impossible questions ;). Hopefully one day I will be more sucessful than it was looking, once I meet most user's voting standards. Again, thanks for your time! ~Linuxerist E/L/T 02:24, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, could you recheck X Vietnam (album). When you nominated it for deletion, the band Quilapayún was not mentioned. But now that this info is added, and the band is notable per WP:MUSIC, perhaps you will consider the article worth keeping.--Rob 00:01, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. In conjunction with my RfA (that you voted on), I have created an editor review, to give people a chance to comment as to ways in which I can branch out or alter my contributions to Wikipedia. An RfA seems to solely focus on how one's temperment and contributions relate to how they might handle administrative powers (and the consensus on that seems to be that I'm not quite ready); the editor review opens things up a little more to a larger focus, and I'd love to hear community feedback in the sense of that larger focus, too. If you feel you've already expressed yourself sufficiently when casting your vote, then by all means don't worry about it, but if any thoughts come to mind or if you'd like to expound upon any suggestions or commentary, it would be appreciated. In any case, I appreciated you taking the time to express your opinion on my RfA, and I thank you for that. — WCityMike (talk • contribs) 19:54, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have reviewed your request for editor review, but the only comments that I can think of now are that:

1. As most voters now consider that a candidate for adminship should have edited at least 2000 times for 6 months, you should generally consider reapplying after you have edited 2000 times, but I think that you need not edit your editing style with regard to namespaces. Most candidates with less experience have failed, unless they have some very outstanding factors.
2. Your recent edit summary usage is 85% for both major and minor edits. Please try to use summaries much more often (most successful adminship candidates have much higher usage) and consider going to "my preferences", then "Editing", and choose "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary", so should you try to save changes without an edit summary, including an accidental action, you will have a chance to add a summary.--Jusjih 13:27, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
