...for the generous barnstar and the very kind comments. I greatly appreciate your visit to my Talk Page. :) Ecoleetage (talk) 21:42, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
I deleted the articles in accordance with DYK's usual policy: 1. The time limmit has expired. 2.With the exception of Petrus Johannes Waardenburg, all of the remaining articles had issues with sources, time limmit, or citations which made them inelligible. In the case of Petrus Johannes Waardenburg, you failed to address the concerns given by Daniel Case regarding plagiarism (although he used a kinder phrase) in the propper timeframe allotted. These DYK noms have actually extended a day longer than we usually let them go. I personally haven't reviewed your article so I don't know whether Daniel Case's concerns were valid or not. However, since you didn't respond to him I have to go with the reviewers assessment.Nrswanson (talk) 08:39, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Dear Kresock,
Thanks for developing the bio of Luther Prentice Bradley. I've started a new bio called Robert Alexander Cameron. You've developed lots of articles on people related to the Civil War. You also have a userbox that says "This user loves the American Civil War". Can you develop the bio? If you can develop the bio and find a nice hook, it may qualify for the "Did you know".
Have a nice day. :-) AdjustShift (talk) 17:20, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
For your vote at Roman Catholic Church. I am sorry to inform you that we failed FAC but will again be at peer review in a few weeks to sort things out. Hopefully we will make it through next time. We will be contacting all supporters and opposers of the article when we open the next peer review to hopefully get all issues addressed and hashed out before the next FAC try. Thanks again for your time and attention to this important article. NancyHeise talk 01:21, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of Robert Alexander Cameron at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed. There still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible.

BTW, the reason why I responded with the alternative wording was because left unchallenged, your post implied "the default position on this is that this case should fail because of the strong nature of the oppose." Whereas my position would be "the default position on this is that this case should pass because of the weak nature of the oppose." I agree, if this case stays in the 68-75% range, I do think the closing 'crats statement may be key in how RfA's are viewed in the future. A well crafted closing statement could pass/fail the candidate without setting precident, but that would require a well crafted comment. I am curious as to how this one will close (assuming it remains in that 68-75% range.)---Balloonman PoppaBalloon 20:41, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your supportive message on Cenere. There is a clip of the film on YouTube, if you are curious to see what it is like. Be well. Ecoleetage (talk) 21:02, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Hey AdjustShift, I know that in Aervanath's RfA, I cited Eco's civility during his RfA as one of the reasons his RfA failed. You indicated that he was civil, I just wanted to note that was the reason why I specified during his RfA. He killed his RfA when he responded to Dilligent Terrier. DT's oppose may have been justified/unjustified, but Eco's response to it significantly hurt Eco's chances---it was cited as a reason for opposes. Individuals/noms need to learn to shut up during their candidate's RfA---especially when they see what they think is an injustice. Finding that right balancing act between proactively defending yourself/your nom, and letting things slide is a challenging balancing act. (I've failed it in the past---take a look at Stephen Buxton's RfA where several people had to come to my talk page and tell me to shut up.) It is especially tough when you feel unjustly criticized, but it is one of those things where the system dictates certain behavior... or you get squashed. But again, my comment about Eco's civility was strictly in the confines of his particular RfA.---Balloonman PoppaBalloon 22:28, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your input (and thanks for not opposing) at my successful Rfa. I'm already thinking about working on my content creation. Hopefully in a few months, I'll have passed the point where you would've !voted Support. If you have any more suggestions on how I can improve myself as an editor, I'd be happy to hear them. Happy editing!--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 03:18, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
I determined the relative date of the image from his uniform. His shoulder straps in the main pic show the front star of the two-star Union major general, easier seen on the staff pic lower on Steedman's page. He was a major general from April 1864 until resigning in August 1866, hence the date range. The second pic on his page shows a single centered star of a Union brigadier general, to compare the two straps if you wish. Since this is sorta original research/conclusion on my part, I did not put the date range in the captions in Steedman's article, just on the image's page to help determine public domain & copyright status. If you want me to beef up the American Civil War section on James Sanks Brisbin I'd be happy to. Kresock (talk) 01:50, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, but I think the list is in very poor shape. The referencing is minimal, the content is rather minimal (compared to the similarly featured List of storms in the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season), and the formatting is poor (improper units, uninflated damage totals, date inconsistencies). The entire article needs a rewrite, since its current form was taken from the regular 2001 AHS article. The way to know that the list article is ready, is pretty much figuring what would be needed if it was to go on FAC. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you to all who participated in my RFA- regardless of whether you supported or opposed, all feedback is important to me. I look forward to proving in the coming months that the trust placed in me by the community is not misplaced. |
Good day AdjustShift! Did some work on this page, and I hope you like it! Gonna do Robert Francis Catterson when I have the time. Kresock (talk) 03:28, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Dear Kresock,
I've nominated the bio of Robert Francis Catterson for DYK. See the hook at Template_talk:Did_you_know#Articles_created.2Fexpanded_on_November_22. You've added:
"He then became commander of the Arkansas Negro militia under Governor Powell Clayton, engaged in fighting against the Ku Klux Klan members operating there,[5] and also as a United States Marshal."
Do you have citation for this? I've added [5], but citation is also required for "and also as a United States Marshal".
Have a nice day. AdjustShift (talk) 03:23, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
The RfA Barnstar | ||
AdjustShift, I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent Request for Adminship, which passed with 112 supports, 4 opposes and 5 neutrals. A special mention goes out to Stwalkerster and Pedro for nominating me, thanks a lot for having trust in me! In response to the neutrals, I will try to double check articles that have been tagged for speedy deletion before I CSD them and will start off slowly with the drama boards of ANI and AN to ensure that I get used to them. In response to the oppose !votes on my RfA, I will check that any images I use meet the non-free content criteria and will attempt to handle any disputes or queries as well as I can. If you need my help at all, feel free to simply ask at my talk page and I'll see if I can help. Once again, thank you for your participation, and have a great day! :) The Helpful One 22:11, 25 November 2008 (UTC) |

...I cannot take credit for creating The Blood of Jesus. I only expanded the existing text -- another editor created the article. I appreciate the kind words...and I should add my congratulations on your DYK success! Ecoleetage (talk) 13:05, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Dear Kresock, I've started another bio of ACW general, Stephen Gardner Champlin. If you can develop the bio, it may qualify for DYK. Have a nice day. :-) AdjustShift (talk) 16:53, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

I did some checking on that Bellville Enduro Team that keeps getting re-added to the article Racing in Illinois. It is a legit facility, so I re-added it back into the article, albeit in the facilities list. HOWEVER, I did leave out the promotional stuff, as well as the link that was put in there by the individual. From what I saw of the club/facility, they would make a great article on Wiki, if someone were to write it. While I was messing around there, I also added a few other motocross/atv parks. I only added ones that I could verify were AMA sanctioned. JLG 2701 17:44, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Have a beer of knowledge on me.
Let the amber nectar flow all day and night. Let it run down the mountains and through the caverns and across the rich lawns to swamp the streets. Let it rain beer. Let the heavens open and shine forth beer. Let it all be beer. Wonderful beer. And let it be as deep as the heart of a lion.

I just wanted to take a moment to say "thank you" for taking the time and effort to participate in my recent RfA. As you may know, the discussion closed 66/0/1 and I'm now a holder of the mop. I will keep working to improve the encyclopedia and appreciate the trust which you have placed in me. - Dravecky (talk) 23:56, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Can you explain the reason behind this? Since when {{cite book}} format was something to be avoided? --BorgQueen (talk) 02:55, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Merry Christmas! BTW, I've started the bio of George Henry Chapman. If you can develop the bio, it may qualify for the "Did you know". Have a nice day. :-) AdjustShift (talk) 04:08, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Hey, hello! In the article on the HDI, note that those countries have equal HDI, because this I have equalize their positions in the ranking. Even if we take the criteries for the tie in question, Norway should earn the top spot in the ranking. Thank you for your attention!

My edit to Septimus Severus neutralized the point of view rather than made it non neutral. The previous version stated that the example of persecution of the christians was an "interesting example". I changed it to merely state that there was persecution regardless of whether it was particularly interesting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.57.4.89 (talk) 19:29, 25 December 2008 (UTC) Reboot (talk) 19:31, 25 December 2008 (UTC) (forgot to log in)

The reason I dropped the preview template was when I saw one of the edits to Science and technology in Mexico , Descartes was wikilinked and Bacon was not. Rather than hassle you, I made sure Bacon had an entry and went to wikilink it, but you had already done so. The link you provided is an essay , not a policy: here's another opinion Template the regulars. It's also uncool to delete comments off talk pages -- see Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#Others.27_comments. Just wanted to let you know where I'm coming from. Thanks!

Thanks for creating an article about Sheo Dan Mal. Actually I was to create it, but could not do it because of being busy in some other projects. I have added infobox to the article.

My RFA passed today at 150/48/6. I wanted to thank you for weighing in, and I wanted to let you know I appreciated all of the comments, advice, criticism, and seriously took it all to heart this past week. I'll do my absolute best to not let any of you down with the incredible trust given me today. rootology (C)(T) 07:49, 1 February 2009 (UTC) |
Thank you for the trust you placed in me by supporting my RfA (which passed and, apparently, I am now an admin!). I will do my best to continue to act in a way that is consistent with the policies of wikipedia as well with our common desire to build and perfect this repository of human knowledge; and can only hope that you never feel that your trust was misplaced. Thanks again! --Regent's Park (Rose Garden) 00:10, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for noticing. Unfortunately, I've been in an editing slump due to off-wiki events, although I still manage to force myself into making a few substantial edits per day. Hopefully I will soon be able to resume my normal editing rate. Everyking (talk) 06:08, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, AdjustShift, I have commented on the Featured list nomination of the OZ GC recipients. The featured list candidates instructions at the top of the page state that Nominators who are not significant contributors to the list should consult regular editors of the list before nomination. (Emphasis mine). You did not do this in this case, and as far as I am aware, Abraham was still inviting comments on the list before nominating it. Woody (talk) 15:00, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
Well, no harm done, but please be mindful in the future. I'll let you know when I nom the article for FL, eh? Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk)
Hi AdjustShift. The list has passed its ACR, so I have gone and nominated it for FLC (see here) and, as I promised, I am notifying you as such. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 12:24, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I see you do lots of valuable work around this place. Please consider leaving more explanatory edit summaries - sometimes the reasons for your edit aren't properly explained by "erase" or "change" or similar and it's not always apparent from the edit itself why it's needed. Thanks very much. --Dweller (talk) 22:55, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
