Dedication to Wikipedia - Meet-ups

Thank you for coming such a long way to meet with us. I'm not sure how much further you came than me (Bedhampton) but I did combine it with other things. You should be awarded the Wikipedian equivalent of Mentioned in Despatches Bashereyre (talk) 10:10, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah good to meet you Majorly. That is dedication! If you fancy another trek down south! : Wikipedia:Meetup/London 9 Sunday Lunctime again. May 11th! -- Harry Wood (talk) 15:41, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Too many edits?

Do you remember which RfA had that opposition? That is really disturbing. Horologium (talk) 22:51, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

This and this are just two I can think of. While the opposes aren't exactly "makes too many edits", the general gist of some of the opposers suggest they think the user edits too much. Majorly (talk) 22:59, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Editprotected

Sorry; you protected the page while I was editing it, and I never got a warning. — Coren ^(talk) 23:26, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I never noticed. It may be best to revert your additions. Either way, it doesn't bother me. Majorly (talk) 23:29, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I've {{editprotected}} to finish it, which may be the best thing (include both version) until the dust settles. — Coren ^(talk) 23:48, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedia administrators

Shouldn't you be in that category? ;) Enigma ^message Review 23:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

No, I don't agree with user categories. Majorly (talk) 23:29, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Bummer. I bring it up because I recently advised someone who asked whether I was an admin that they can simply check the categories. Seems simpler than going to the admin list and searching for names. Enigma ^message Review 23:32, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

RfA Reform?

Discussion from the Admin Poll and the RfA talk leads me to believe that a proposal needs to be made concerning a simple step by step method for granting admin tools to trusted and experienced users. I brought up the idea of creating the proposal on RfA talk, but I was wondering if you were interested in creating the proposal..? SynergeticMaggot (talk) 07:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree that it needs some reform, I still also think that as part of that reform we should consider modularizing some of the other tools as well like we did with rollback.--Kumioko (talk) 17:09, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Looks like my comment got your goat. Didn't wish to inflame the situation. Apologies if I irked you. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

(ec) Well you two can create a page/proposal etc and I'll support it. But I'm not interested in creating it, because people will just oppose it again. Majorly (talk) 17:12, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Regarding certain accusations of sockpuppetry that are frankly ridiculous but seem to refuse to die, please see forthcoming email. JoshuaZ (talk) 17:43, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Rahan Arshad

I have nominated Rahan Arshad, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rahan Arshad. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Barnstar of Madness!!

		Barnstar of Murder, Madness, and Mayhem
		On behalf of Murder, Madness, and Mayhem, this barnstar is to thank you for your hard work and patience in motivating, mentoring, and moulding the work of student editors, and helping them to achieve excellence in research and writing. You were one of the very first to help out with one of our articles. Thank you so much! On behalf of the entire class of UBC's SPAN312. --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 01:04, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Wow! That's simply amazing work in 3 months. To think someone tried to speedy delete it... congratulations! Majorly (talk) 01:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the congrats! Again, we could never have done it on our own. --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 01:51, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

This is your final warning. The next time you copy someone else signature you will be blocked. Monobi (talk) 03:59, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

I look forward to using the tools you have granted me to aid the project. I would like to give special thanks to Tim Vickers, Anthony and Acalamari for their nominations. Thank you again, VanTucky 21:31, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Your deletion of my pages

My editing tests were not vandalism, User:User:User was an attempt at humor and the other two were for testing. The reason I accidentally overwrote Talk:Main Page was that I was trying to copy the main page so that I could play with it and forgot the redirect. The way, the truth, and the light (talk) 11:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Please do not use create test pages. You're an established user, you should know better. Majorly (talk) 11:12, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Help?

I need help with my archiving. I want, if possible, to begin the bot archiving in my 3rd archive, all threads older than 2 days. Also, if possible, I've tried and failed, to have a new archive started automatically every two months, or do I have to do this manually? Dusti^{complain/compliment} 16:43, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Have a good read of User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo. That's what I did. Majorly (talk) 23:07, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

RfCheck

Are you interested in running for RfCheck? I would be happy to nominate you. (Sorry about the self-revert earlier, I realised I did things in the wrong order.) Walton^One 13:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I'd be honoured to. Whether I'd pass is another question - arbcom already said no, and I quite recently failed a third request for bureaucratship. That said, I'm happy to be a guinea pig to see if it works :) Thanks. Majorly (talk) 13:28, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

OK. It's at Wikipedia:Requests for checkusership/Majorly. Answer the questions, and transclude it at WP:RFCHECK when you're ready. Walton^One 13:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Can You Help?

I noticed someone reverted the edits I made to playmates other than Stephanie Adams, yet didn't revert the same edit to the playmate Stephanie Adams NonvocalScream sees fit to remove basic facts about only one playmate Stephanie Adams, from the EXACT SAME format of other playmate's articles, yet not remove those facts about them as well. Date of birth and measurements of playmates should remain for Stephanie Adams, just like they remain for the other playmates. This user has become a nuisance and is maliciously trying to damage this one particular article. Swiksek (talk) 00:22, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure there's a good reason for him doing that, and I hope he explains. I'd rather not get into an edit war about it though. Majorly (talk) 00:25, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

WP:MISS question

Should User:DakotaKahn be listed? Appears to be a former admin. Maybe you know more? cheers, Enigma ^message 06:15, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

The user is still very much here, but they were renamed. Majorly (talk) 11:54, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Restore image

Hello. Can your restore Image:Stargate SG-1 - 04x01.jpg for me please? I want to use it again in the article Small Victories. Thank you. – sgeureka ^t•c 08:17, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Lady Aleena's RfA

Majorly...Thank you for supporting my nomination for adminship. Through it I have become aware of a great many people who can help me in my future editing endeavors. Even though I was not promoted, your support shows that I still have something to contribute to Wikipedia, even if it is minor edits to fix spelling and grammar to working in WikiProjects to help others make great articles. If you wish to further discuss the nomination, please use its talk page. Stop by my talk page anytime, even if it is just to say hello. Have a wonderful day! - LA @ 03:57, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm surprised you missed this. One of the links on Wikipedia's main menu goes right to it.

The Transhumanist    16:33, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I didn't miss it. That's nothing like what I want. I am not interested in making pretty templates. Majorly (talk) 16:44, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 17:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Community noticeboard

I saw that you had requested deletion, but I undeleted because it used to be a redirect and the old links hadn't been fixed. Are you OK with that? I also put the post-redirect discussion on Wikipedia talk:Community noticeboard. Carcharoth (talk) 16:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't bother me. Al Tally (talk) 16:45, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
