CSDPlease keep in mind that there may be useful content in the edit history of pages that look like candidates for speedy deletion. It's a hassle, I know, but such is life on wikipedia. --fvw* 04:33, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for the barnstar!Hi Ral315, Thank you very much for the groovy new barnstar! I've put it on my user page, hope that's OK. There'll probably be a few more suburbs that get added in the coming weeks (I've still got to add basic entries for any suburbs between the letters 'B' and 'H' in the list of Sydney suburbs). -- All the best, Nickj (t) 04:49, 1 September 2005 (UTC) Article deletion noteYou voted previously to keep the article Rogers Cadenhead. You may have changed your mind now that the author has admitted to writing the article himself “as an experiment.” He himself says, “I am somewhat eager to see this vote end with my deletion.” Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2005_August_29#Rogers_Cadenhead --Quasipalm 17:08, 1 September 2005 (UTC) Don't block vandals right awayGive vandals the benefit of the doubt for at least two revisions before blocking. 165.230.149.164 23:52, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
Features articleOf course. Don't worry, it won't be as close to the deadline as the last time I did it :) the wub "?/!" 10:04, 3 September 2005 (UTC) RfAI have nominated you for adminship. If you are already an admin, please mention so in the request and delete its link from the RfA main page. Otherwise, please indicate whether you accept or decline the nomination. — JIP | Talk 16:42, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
BureaucratshipHi, Ral315. Thank you so much for your support and kind words on my bureaucratship nomination. Unfortunately, it didn't pass, but I intend to run again soon. If you'd like to be informed next time around, please let me know on my talk page. Thanks again! Andre (talk) 05:24, September 4, 2005 (UTC) About my RfAHi Ral315. You chose to be neutral on my RfA, but I appreciate the fact that you made your concerns public. I just would like to assure you that I will still work my best on Wikipedia, in order to prove wrong any fears you may still have about me. Best regards, Sam Hocevar 08:55, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
Signpost articleI'm not quite ready to resume my previous level of activity, but I have written a story for this week's Signpost and added it to the newsroom. In the meantime, thanks for your diligence in keeping this project going. --Michael Snow 00:05, 5 September 2005 (UTC) MessegesHey, please don't put a redirect on The Proud Family Movie please. I'm going to put information in it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tcatron565 (talk • contribs)
ThanksHi Ral: Delayed SignpostNo worries. I'll write the press coverage article this weekend as well to take some of the pressure off you. Plus barring a catastrophe I can mention you in the Features and admins this week! :) the wub "?/!" 17:58, 9 September 2005 (UTC) Congratulations!I'm pleased to inform you that you are now an administrator. Please consider reading all the material on the administrators' reading list before testing out your new privileges. Though everything you do, excluding image deletions and page history merges, is reversible, you should nevertheless be very careful with your sysop capabilities. For instructions, please see the administrators' how-to guide. Good luck! — Dan | Talk 15:36, 10 September 2005 (UTC) Congratulations for your adminship from me too! — JIP | Talk 17:42, 10 September 2005 (UTC) Congratulations, and thank you! Andre (talk) 04:22, September 11, 2005 (UTC) Yay, congratulations! the wub "?/!" 09:43, 11 September 2005 (UTC) Congrats as well... I'd better start writing those articles! ;-) Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 12:06, September 11, 2005 (UTC) Popups toolCongratulations on being made an admin! I thought you might like to know of a javascript tool that may help in your editing by giving easy access to many admin features. It's described at Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups. The quick version of the installation procedure for admins is to paste the following into User:Ral315/Archive 4/monobook.js: // [[User:Lupin/popups.js]] - please include this line
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="'
+ 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/popups.js'
+ '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');
popupShortcutKeys=true; // optional: enable keyboard shortcuts
popupAdminLinks=true; // optional: enable admin links
There are more options which you can fiddle with listed at Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups. Give it a try and let me know if you find any glitches or have suggestions for improvements! Lupin|talk|popups 23:18, 10 September 2005 (UTC) SignpostMust have missed it that week. :-) How about a series of articles documenting the upcoming Arb Com elections in December? This week could be Part I, introduction, and then there could be more parts in the series documenting the "election", the process, the candidates, the current arbcom, etc. How does that sound?

Your RfACongratulations, and you're very welcome! --Merovingian (t) (c) 05:56, September 12, 2005 (UTC) Mike Pratt fetishJust FYI the guy with the Mike Pratt fetish is also adding irrelevant links and whole sections under articles as 195.92.168.175. I think this might be some weird form of vandalism as the talk page for that IP has a somewhat taunting message at the top about it being a dynamic IP so try and make complaints ... might not have been put there by the same guy. Anyway I'm trying to revert all the changes and I'm going to start calling it link spamming now. PS. Making things worse, I just caught an edit that could well be hoax information involving Pratt. 23skidoo 13:37, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
My RFAThank you very kindly for your support for my nomination. I promise your trust will not be misplaced; I may occasionally be slightly buzzed with power, but never drunk. ;) · Katefan0(scribble) 22:20, September 12, 2005 (UTC) your edit in the wiki paperThe Wikipedia Signpost is not a soapbox, a talk page, or a forum for gauging consensus. It is a news source. Please do not add anything about Terri Schiavo and its FAC request; it's unnecessary in the article. Ral315 01:31, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
Just to let you know I would have reverted as well, and I've replied as such on Gordon's talk page. the wub "?/!" 09:33, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
hi...To admin Ral315... i have no knowledge of who this Hfjf vandal is or why he vandalized my talk page. As far as i'm concerned, i am no ADMIN of any site or whatever and did not even ban anyone b4 in my entire life. Any comments on this one? Debroglie 02:37, 13 September 2005 (UTC) .. Thanks for your prompt reply Ral315... you mean he has vandalized not mine but also other's talk pages as well? Am I the only 1 getting the "death threats" here, or as you say he is a random troller defacing various pages? Debroglie 02:43, 13 September 2005 (UTC) .. Ral315: thanks... i wonder why this guy goes around trolling people's pages... To be surprised myself, since i have never been any kind of admin or siteop before and definitely wouldnt have banned any1... (since that is what he claims - other people banning him?) I am indeed puzzled Debroglie 05:30, 13 September 2005 (UTC) HiHi, thanks for cleaning up my user page. -- (☺drini♫|☎) 02:51, 13 September 2005 (UTC) RfARal315, Please support my request for adminship on en.Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/GordonWattsDotCom Thx.--GordonWattsDotCom 15:06, 13 September 2005 (UTC) Android79's RfAThank you for your support on my RfA and for your kind comments. android79 15:30, 13 September 2005 (UTC) HelloSee at User_talk:Ral315/Archive 5. Maria Pia Saxe Coburg BraganzaPlease stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.. If you want to move an article, please make a request per Wikipedia:Requested moves. Transferring the content is not the way to do it. Ral315 15:09, 13 September 2005 (UTC) Excuse me but the unique attempt to vandalize the page of Maria Pia of Braganza is the change the authentic baptism name of the duchess Maria Pia in Hilda Toledano. Hilda Toledano was only a pseudonym name that she used when she wrote some novels. (You can see also in this web page : http://www.projectedletters.com/vault/maria-pia/maria-pia-3/ ). Don' t exist other documents where you can see the name Hilda Toledano. In all the official documents of this woman the only used name was Maria Pia Saxe Coburg Braganza. So the attempt to change her name is only a fool the portoguese historical truth ! And this is also illegal ! M. de Sousa 13 September 2005 (UTC)
VandalismHi. I'm the sysadmin for a school at IP address 203.56.245.7 As far as I can tell we are unblocked already, so that's all good. Just wanted to apologise, the student in question has been located and is being dealt with. Jase Time to meditate on your comments: You have a good pointI've had time to meditate on your comments about age not necessarily having a connect to wisdom; I must apologize for maybe exaggerating the effect my old age has upon my qualifications; I never meant to down you for being only fifteen -I hope you didn't read me that way. Rather, I was pointing out that the RfA policy says that anyone who is a responsible editor should have no problem being an admin -because editors are supposed to be qualified anyhow: "Current Wikipedia policy is to grant this access liberally to anyone who has been an active Wikipedia contributor for a while and is generally a known and trusted member of the community....'This should be no big deal," according to Jimmy Wales'." WP:adminship That being said, I looked at your contributions, and they are quite impressive: Total edits 3157; Distinct pages edited 2014; First edit 2004-09-30 02:16:27 - a long time ago -- your contributions are far deeper than mine -and, what's more, I am on the "low" end of contribs compared to ANY other RfA candidate as far as I could see. Very impressive!! However, the policy ominously says also: "Generally speaking, standards have become harder in practice." Oops! I can’t keep up. I have just one question, if you could help me out: you have an "Edits/page (avg) 1.57" (That is 2157 divided by 2014) How in the world did you accomplish that? 'That must mean that every page you visit, you only edit one or two times on the average? How in the world can you be familiar with a subject enough to edit if you just skip-and-hop? (I am hoping someone can tell me.)' Well, I won't make it to admin anytime soon (my case is hopeless) -no matter how qualified I actually am -or dedicated, but at least I don't want you to feel downed or anything, and if you can help me with my question of confusion above -that would be great too. Thx.--GordonWatts 06:47, 14 September 2005 (UTC) Hello, Ral315, just wanted to point out that I've left a proposed schedule at the subpage of WP:SIGN for our arbcom election series. It's still got a few holes, but I figured that we can come up with topics as we go along, depending on how the election proceeds. Let me know what you think! ! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 21:52, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
Many thanks for your quick action. AlistairMcMillan 21:59, 14 September 2005 (UTC) Image copyright noticesWhy the fuck are you bothering me? I perfectly wrote where I got this pic. It's from a fan-site and this pic is the only place it can be found. I can't find any way to do it. Sorry dude, but if it's something not very important - do it yourself. Don't explain to me. Just do it by yourself. I won't do it. But if you delete this pic, I will find another one. Painbearer 00:14, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks awfullyTa for supporting my recent RfA, much appreciated. I'll endeavour to use these new powers wisely....dave souza 17:08, 18 September 2005 (UTC) 3RRYou stated on User_talk:ArmchairVexillologistDon#Blocked_for_3RR_violation_ that I made the complaint against AVD. In fact, I did not.Homey 20:51, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
Anyway, it doesn't really matter - I would have complained about the 3RR had I been online (and had I not broken it myself):) On a related note, you said you'd look at protecting Canada's name if AVD kept reverting. Well, he is though it is User:Ground Zero who is now leading the effort to bring AVD into some sort of adherence to standard wikipedia editing practice. Homey 02:22, 19 September 2005 (UTC) I know you had some run-ins with GordonWatts and your opposition was influencing me; however, I think the bigger issue now is the early closure and the page protection of this nomination. I would be disappointed to not see some comment on it in the Signpost. If you feel it difficult to write from a neutral POV about this issue let me know where community edits to articles appear and I will make some time this evening to contribute. Thx in Adv - -Abeo 21:07, 18 September 2005 (UTC) Features articleThe new Features article is done, at User:The wub/Features. I haven't made any mention of GordonWatts in it for a number of reasons:
If you (Ral315) decide you want to mention it then I'm perfectly happy for you to add to my article - that's why you're the editor! the wub "?/!" 22:57, 18 September 2005 (UTC) imageYou left a note on my talkpage about Image:Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch.png. I actually found this online and trimmed it a bit with MS PhotoEditor. I think the image should be PD because it was taken >100 years ago and the person depicted died in 1888. I can't seem to find the correct tag for this. Could you help? JFW | T@lk 16:34, 19 September 2005 (UTC) AnnRal, thank you for dealing so decisively with the open proxy who was abusing Ann Heneghan. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 04:07, 20 September 2005 (UTC) Johnny Carson JokesOut of curiosity, how did you know that Letterman was telling Carson's jokes before Peter Lassally of the Letterman camp announced this? You provided an edit to the Johnny Carson page and I was just wondering if this was common knowledge before it was announced.69.166.17.41 Thanks, Ral. I wasn't criticizing, just wanted to know where this came out. Do you happen to know the reference for that newspaper story? I'm researching late night talk shows and I'd be interested in having the story for my own purposes. The page definitely looks better after your edit. :) 69.166.17.41 19:54, 20 September 2005 (UTC) re [1]Re: [2] "And you have shown a lot of contempt for Raul654, a VERY well-respected editor on Wikipedia." No. I am very glad he helped out a lot initially in the FA-process, even helping edit and stuff, but then when he had promised it would be OK to resubmit Schiavo for FA (see Jimbo's page for details) after a few weeks, he went back on his word, based on concensus; This time, he had the authority to override concensus, and since the article had been fixed, it was ready -and he reneged! The edit war, the only other concern, was over shortly after it began, so I am at the least disappointed in Mark AKA Raul654. He played politics instead of merit, but I am hoping he will "come around" and honor the hard work of the many Schiavo editors -not just me.--GordonWatts 18:36, 20 September 2005 (UTC) "...and if the idea proves positive, implement it." Meh! Beat you to it, Big Dog! Look at the front page; I changed the text and implimented ths unopposed (and apparently good?) idea. I don;t like it, but it is more honest with the "way things are." We can't lie to people when we write polocy.--GordonWatts 18:20, 20 September 2005 (UTC) --GordonWatts 18:39, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your messageHi, Ral315. Many thanks for your note on my talk page, and especially for the action you took. It's cheering to think that people who don't know me were so concerned. I was asleep when it all happened, so if an edit summary was changed, I don't know what was in the original. I can, however, tell you that my "home address", which the anon inserted into the text of my user page, is definitely not my home address – or anything like it. Also, I think it's quite reasonable that the block was changed to a one-week block, since it's an IP address that others would use, and presumably not one that that user always uses. There was a similar vandalism to my talk page on 19 September, from a different IP address – 202.142.214.52. Thanks again. Ann Heneghan (talk) 23:08, 20 September 2005 (UTC) Hi. I've posted this on Ann's page as well. Thought I'd let you know about it. "Don't think we've run into each other before but I was just surfing and came across this site: I googled the name and came across your page here at Wikipedia. Thought I'd better let you know. You may want to look into it. Thanks a lot, Sarah." SarahPhelpsjr 11:12, 21 September 2005 (UTC) Brookie RfAThanks for the vote - hope I'll do OK ! :) The curate's egg 06:53, 21 September 2005 (UTC) WikibreakI'm taking a wikibreak. In case you wanted to know. Thx for your past suggestions. --GordonWatts 13:50, 21 September 2005 (UTC) I'm impressed — many admins would have closed the AfD as a vote for merging and then left someone else to do the job (and in this case that someone would have been me, I suspect). Thanks. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 18:38, 21 September 2005 (UTC) AdminshipI'd like that; can't promise being on RC patrol often, as I've found it does tend to burn me out. Also, my feelings on the light blocking practices currently employed (large part of the burnout) would be voiced in the nomination. :"D - RoyBoy 800 02:39, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
