Substitute OldafdfullExcuse me, Alex. I'm wondering why you often substitute Oldafdfull on talk pages? This template should not be subst as far as I know. Regards, PeaceNT 10:08, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Odd...You've deleted a couple of old RfA's under right to vanish, but that user (under a marginally different user name) is still active. Is it because of the presence of the surname in the user's former username? If not, deleting RfA's generally does not occur in Right to Vanish deletions. Even more odd is that the user is still active and the previous RfA's may play some role for the user in the future (and even if they don't, it is still unusual to delete RfA's). Just curious. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 16:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Articles for DeletionI notice that today you closed an article on Diane Roubowitz after one vote (ive no issue with that). Ive noticed this often occurs when someone puts speedy delete and its not gone the full 5 days of debate. Can you advise what qualifies somethign to be closed that quickly, as I notice that in my opinion some articles which should be closed off that quick often rumble on for several days. Thanks --PrincessBrat 17:09, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
RfA thanksHi, Majorly. Just popping down here to the command deck to say thanks for your support at my RfA. I was, to say the least, surprised by how uncontroversial it was in the end and I thoroughly intend repaying the faith in me with some really solid admin work. I was also quite honoured that you would have considered me worthy with a nom yourself. That in itself means a lot to me. Thanks again, and see you around, no doubt. :) Bubba hotep 20:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC) Revert for my user pageThanks. Xiner (talk, email) 23:22, 4 March 2007 (UTC) Semi-protection of user subpages.Hi, I was looking at WP:RFPP and I noticed recently you've been declining requests for semi-protection of subpages of a user's own userspace, citing a lack of persistent vandalism. Now, I'm still something of a newcomer and certainly no expert in this area, so is there a hard-and-fast rule on this? I'm wondering only because I asked Luna Santin if my userpage (which is just a redirect to my talk page) could be semi-protected and he said that was no problem. It was vandalised a couple of times but hardly persistent vandalism. I just want to make sure I'm not in violation of some policy by having it semi-protected. Thanks – Qxz 14:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks!Thanks for your support on my RfA. It passed with 55/0/0. I'll try my best to be worthy of the trust the community has put in me. If there are any of my actions you have a problem with or a question about, please feel free to discuss this with me and if needed to revert me. If there is anything else I can help you with (backlogs, comments, ...), you can always contact me on my talk page. Fram 14:32, 5 March 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for March 5th, 2007.

Ralbot 06:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC) Almost ran out of fingers...I'm always running across things (just found a wrong link from the Signpost's announcement of GWH approval to his RfA page) so I wondered... Looking at the RfA(2) I couldn't figure out why the first 'oppose' vote wasn't numbered, or counted. Shouldn't there have been 10 opposes? And the reason I'm asking here is you last 'touched' the RfA, likely know much about the process, and the closing admin is no longer here. Shenme 09:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Regarding Yamuna PageHello Majorly, I am contacting you regarding the Yamuna page. The reason for the edit war was because two individuals kept on adding information that had nothing to do with topic. Their line insinuates that Seleucus campaigned as far as the Yamuna, which is false. They continually stretch any greek relationship with an Indian topic. That was the reason for my deletion. If the page is to remain protected, could you please remove the offending lines at least? I have nothing against the greeks, but the contributions of these individuals are inaccurate and are removing from the purpose of those articles.Thank you. Best Regards, Devanampriya
Hello Majorly, As per your instructions, I have posted on the article's talk page. Please consider my arguments for the removal of those lines. Thanks. Regards, Devanampriya 15:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
disruptive anonThis user, whom you blocked recently for making disruptive edits (making an identical edit many times over, despite having been RV'd by 4 other editors, and refusing to discuss), is back, with the same edit. KarlBunker 10:56, 8 March 2007 (UTC) User Jubby 909Hi, wonder if you can help User:Jubby 909 has just been created and is the same vandle I managed to get blocked yesterday under User:Jubby 919. I will start the process of revert/warning but is there another way when he reinvents himself an another user? Keith D 13:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC) Ok, thanks. I'll do that from now on.--Mr Beale 22:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC) Arthur J DrogeYou deleted the Arthur J Droge article. The article was 'hangon' tagged with comments on the talk page. The article was rewritten and did not include anything of the referred url. I'm not very pleased, I can tell. --Roberth Edberg 22:22, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
If you would have read closer, you would have found out that I changed the violating part and also updated the information with the latest. The information about Chicago was gone and new information about his present relation to University of Toronto was added. This wasn't in the violated infomation at all. In fact no information was left in the article that could be concidered violating. You did a mistake in deleting the article, according to me. We all can do mistakes and I have no problem with that. But I feel it's my duty to inform you about the mistake and it's up to you how you handle the information. If you do not aknowledge the mistake, then we have a problem. --Roberth Edberg 09:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Apologies for my rash and accusative way of telling and there is of course no "however" excuse which link your mistake to mine. So assume good faith is of course something that is applicable for both of us. We're all in it togeather. --Roberth Edberg 14:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC) RedsIndependent.comHello, Majorly. I saw that you unblocked User:RedsIndependent.com for his username. This was a good choice because he was a significant contributor, and I wouldn't have blocked him, either. But the name is still a violation of WP:U. I think the best action here would be to ask him kindly to rethink his username. Thank you! BlackBear 22:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
WP:RFCU and clerksGreetings! A recent change has been made in the clerking system at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser. There are no longer any obstacles to editors who wish to help out in this areas, as the standby list has now been deprecated. You were listed as a volunteer on the standby list before it was deprecated. If you are still interested in helping out in this area, please:
I am not involved with the checkuser system. I am acting only to inform you of this change. Thank you. --Durin 14:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC) Just letting you know that you failed your duty as a wikipedia administrator today. Not only did you not care to acquire an overview of the debate, which would have lead to no consensus, you also failed to really read it. None of the keep votes gave any weightily base. WP:PORNBIO, which still is the official guideline for pornstar biographies is failed at one hundert percent, regardless, you let yourself be overwhelmed by the massive amount of keep votes by 15 year old porn lovers, who, whatever one may think of those people, do not put the common good of an important encyclopaedia over their own affection for these surreal women. Although I have always had a high opinion of almost all wikipedia administrators and I will keep doing so, you, sir, have shown great incompetence in dealing with the matter, and you are a shame to your kind. I don't think I care enough for the subject to pursue it any further, but even though I know you won't care for my opinion towards you and you will dismiss it right away, I needed to tell you this. Regards, ~ | twsx | talkcont | 14:45, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
I guess apologies for the personal attack are in order. Sorry. Everything else stands. ~ | twsx | talkcont | 14:56, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Big big big thankyou!Majorly, what can I say? I guess thankyou would be a good start for trusting me! I really can't believe this has happened so soon. Thanks so much for nominating me, I promise I won't let you down Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 21:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC) My adminshipThanks for voting for me, and sorry to take so long to thank you properly - I'm afraid I was ill around the time the adminship happened, and, well, support was more than I expected (I have to admit I was convinced someone would show up about some ancient mistake I had made, and was surprised the worst thrown at me was I didn't give enough feedback on a GA back when I started GA work. Ah, well! In any case, thanks! I'm doing all of these individually. You're number 2. I wonder how long before I devolve to one-sentence comments? Adam Cuerden talk 00:58, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
List of African AmericansDo you think that the list is better as a list of lists? I've been working at sorting it, but its quite long, and I don't want to do the work if it isn't going to last... I guess we'll know it the list of black innovators passes AfD... Let me know what you think, thanks. Smmurphy(Talk) 18:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
PCDIm removing the article and linking it to the PCD article as the article provides no reliable sources and is therefore based purely on speculation —Preceding unsigned comment added by JJH1992 (talk • contribs) Editor ReviewHello, Majorly, thanks for reviewing me. I would just like top point out that the reason for my high talk page edit count is that I greet new users quite often. During these "greeting sessions", I usually greet anywhere from 25 to 100 users. --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book, review me!) 22:06, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Image problemAdministrator, I want to put this WikiCommons image on the article James Semple, a former senator. However, there is an image in wikipedia Image:Semple.jpg with the same name but is about a football field. So when I put "Image:Semple.jpg" on the article the football field appears instead of the senator. Is there any way to get around this and put the correct commons image on the article? Wooyi 22:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Not a "major" issue, but I noticed you ended the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Snappy gum trick afd with the result as "keep". However, at least half the editors that responded recommended either deletion or merger since the article appeared to have serious verifiability problems, and the word "keep" usually implies that there was a consensus to keep. Perhaps you might want to consider changing the comment to something like "No consensus - keep by default", or if you prefer to leave it as "keep" at least add a brief follow-up comment as to why you want to have it as "keep".

Concerning your Admin Coaching assignmentsYour name is still listed at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Volunteers. The department is heavily backlogged with student's requests for coaches, and we need your help! Note that the instructions may have changed since the last time you checked, and the department now follows a self-help process... If you don't currently have a student, or if you believe you can handle another one, please select a student from the request list at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests and contact them. See the instructions on Wikipedia:Admin coaching. Good luck. If you are no longer available to coach, , please remove yourself from the volunteers list. Thank you.
