YechielMan's RFA

Thank you for participating in either of my unsuccessful requests for adminship. Although the experience was frustrating, it showed me some mistakes I was making, and I hope to learn from those mistakes.

Please take a few minutes to read User:YechielMan/Other stuff/RFA review and advise me how to proceed. Best regards. YechielMan 22:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

My RfA ...

Hi. Thanks for supporting my request for adminship. It was successful and I am now an admin. If I can ever be of help, please let me know. Cheers, Black Falcon ^(Talk) 06:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Rfa

Just dropping by to say "thank you" for supporting me in my recent my RfA. I passed the vote, and am now an admin. It will take me some getting used to with the new tools, but I thank you again for the trust. Have a good one, and, as always, happy editing! Jmlk17 05:17, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

That's me...

Dear Captain panda, thanks for your support in my recent RfA, it was, however, unsuccessful. I am not the type of editor to be disheartened by such a result, and have gained much experience. If you have anything to contribute by way of improvements or comments, please don’t hesitate to tell me.

I will run again. Until then, Cheers, Dfrg.msc 08:33, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

My RFA

Hello, Captain panda/Archive 3, and thank you so much for your support in my recent RFA, which passed 59/0/0! I will try very hard to live up to your expectations – please let me know if I can help you in any way, but first take your cookie! Thanks again!

Thank you, Captain panda, for commenting on my RfA, which closed successfully with a tally of 76/0/1! I hope I will meet your expectations, and be sure I will continue trying to be a good editor as well as a good administrator :) If I may be of any assistance to you in the future (or if you see me commit some grievous error :), please drop me a line on my Talk page.

Thank you visiting and commenting at my RfA, I have tried to expand on my philosophy and answers, and hope that these address your concerns. Even if they don't, thanks for stopping by. DrKiernan 12:39, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I second that. A lot has changed on this RfA since you first voiced your opposition so you might want to take the time to revisit it. Thanks, Pascal.Tesson 14:48, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Comments at Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship

Well said sir. Not because you were agreeing with me (if indeed you were) but that editors applying at RfA are not "laughed off" but encouraged in their work. That's a really good viewpoint, one I will ensure I adopt as well. Best Wishes. Pedro |  Chat  09:18, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

RFA Try?

We havent directly encountered each other before, but I have seen you around, and, after reviewing your contributions, I think you could be ready for a shot at the tools in a month or two, assuming you want to give it a shot and take on the responsibilities. You have a good amount of contributions across the namespaces, and I think you understand the policies. With maybe a few more edits (maybe... 4000? [not to be an editcounter, just trying to help combat those who do edit count]) I think you have a very good chance at the mop. Get back to me with your thoughts. Thanks, -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk -- (dated 11:26, 17 June 2007 UTC)

In vino veritas

I noticed you used to include the line 'in vino veritas' in your sig. Doesn't that mean 'in wine there is truth'? —Crazytales ^{(talk) (alt)} 03:07, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Remove item

Hi! Before I figured out how to start a page I uploaded following file "A.W.H.pdf". However, since then I have managed to do the page I wanted to in the first place and the info in the "pdf" is thus obsolete.

Please help me delete the file referred to.

Thanks & Regards

P.S. - A note showing me how you do it or a pointer to the appropriate reference would be appreciated and useful for future reference.

Camp Towanda

I fixed the wording. It is not advertisement. Please do not remove.

Why

Why must you do this? I am making a valid point. You are trying to destroy the White Zimbabwen culture of wikipedia. --Zwerrifringweraand 22:19, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

everytime I try to add constructivly this always fucking happens. --Zwerrifringweraand 22:26, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Ex'pression

I fixed the wording, it is not intended as an ad... please dont delete. I will keep working on it.

thanks!

Thank you X 100

Thank you very much for supporting my RfA, which closed successfully yesterday... W00t! I hope to be a great admin (and editor) and I'm sure you can tell that my use of a large, boldfaced, capital "T" and a big checkmark image in this generic "thank you" template that I swiped from some other user's Talk Page that I totally mean business! If you need anything in the future or if you see that I've done something incorrectly, please come to my Talk Page and let me know. So now I've got a bunch of reading to do.... see you around! - eo 13:41, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Bartolomeo Cristofori

Kindly revisit Bartolomeo Cristofori, which you recently rated without commenting, and leave suggestions for improvement. In making your comments, please refer to the Wikipedia guidelines, which for a "B" article state that one or more of the following is wrong:

"it has significant gaps or missing elements or references, needs substantial editing for English language usage and/or clarity, balance of content, or contains other policy problems such as copyright, Neutral Point Of View (NPOV) or No Original Research (NOR)."

Since you didn't give the article an A, it must be that it falls short on one or more of these points, and it would be helpful to me and to other editors to know which one, and how.

Sincerely, Opus33 23:39, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

<CP replied on O33's user page>

Thank you for the clarification. For what it's worth, it's apparently legal for you to give out A's without the article reaching Good Article or Feature Article status (both of them are programs in which I'm reluctant to participate, based on unhappy previous experience). However, it's really all the same to me if the article has a B on it; my main concern is with commentless evaluations, which you have addressed. Sincerely, Opus33 00:26, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

		Thank you for your support and comments at my RfA
		Hi Captain panda, It still amazes me that otherwise "anonymous" editors take the time to place !votes and comments on RfAs. Whilst I would have normally thanked you at the time of you leaving your message, the importance of my not appearing to be canvassing prevented me from so doing. Now that everything has progressed successfully I can finally thank you. I intend to uphold a style of good adminship and will welcome your further comments at any time in the future, even if they are in the form of admonishment. I will be happy to help as an admin wherever and whenever I can --VS talk 22:56, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Hi Captain panda. Thank you for your support and kind words in my RfA, which passed with 95 support, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral !votes. It means a lot to me to have your individual support and the collective support of so many others. I truly will strive to carry myself at a level representing the trust bestowed in me as I use the mop to address the never-ending drips of discontent in need of caretaker assistance. Jreferee (Talk) 07:31, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

RfA

No, this message is not me being an admin and want to thank you. In fact, I want to nominate you as an admin. You seem to know pretty well about Wikipedia even though you're new to here (in a sense). I, personally, like to ask for your permission to nominate you as admin prior to listing it. So will you give me permission to nominate you? OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 12:02, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Done. Please accept the nomination (officially) at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Captain panda. I wish you luck. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 05:59, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for participating in my RfA. It was successful, and I am now, may God have mercy on us all, an administrator. Look at all the new buttons! I had heard about 'protect,' 'block user,' and 'delete,' but no one told me about 'kill,' 'eject,' and 'purée.' I appreciate the trust the community has in me, and I'll try hard not to delete the main page or block Jimbo. -FisherQueen (Talk) 17:53, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

My recent RfB

Thank you so much for your participation in my recent RfB. Though it closed with 72% support (below the required 90%), I'm still quite pleased at the outpouring of support shown by a fair percentage of the community.

On your comment on my RfA, you said:

Support Low edit count, but user operates a bot (although not approved). Still, knowledge is suggested by this. I will support. Captain panda 04:40, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

So you know, my bot is approved. My current BRFA is for a second task, to run another job under the account. My first task (which I am currently running) is approved, as can be seen at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/DeadBot. Thanks! Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 06:28, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Bellanca 28-70

You just marked this new article as a stub. The classsification for a stub is: "The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need much work to bring it to A-Class level. It is usually very short, but can be of any length if the material is irrelevant or incomprehensible." Since it wasn't a "short" article, is there something about the article that is either a "rough collection of information" or "irrelevant" or "incomprehensible". Just curious, I can try to improve the article but I am not sure where to turn. FWIW Bzuk 06:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC).

Your RFA

Hi Captain panda, I'd just like to say that, whatever the result of your current RFA, you are a great editor, and if it doesnt pass, I would be more than happy to nominate you in a few months time. Please dont be discouraged, and keep up your hard work! Kind regards, and best of luck on your RFA, Anonymous Dissident^Talk 06:41, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Me too. I wish you the best of luck mate. Cheers, Dfrg.msc 06:58, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Thats an excellent attitude and outlook on your RFA in the event that it should fail. I'm sure that, if you do address the concerns of the opposers (most of which seem to be your lack of a great deal of mainspace contributions), you will pass a future RFA with flying colours.

Torrasque, Hunter-Killer, Devouring One

If you feel the three are ill-represented on the SC Wikia, then place them there, but they are not notable here. To be notable an article should have adequate out-of-universe data, and for them there is none. The three are in-universe and fail Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). They should be deleted: any relevant data are special Zerg Breeds can easily be relocated to other pages. The Clawed One 04:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Spirit of St. Louis

Capt'n, there is a newbie editor that has insisted that the flight of the Spirit of St. Louis was the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic and has constantly reverted the article to eliminate the word "solo". He has not responded to the discussion page or to the note left on his "talk" page. These are his only contributions to Wiki articles and he continues to make spurious claims, see: [1] He will not stop the reverting although he has been politely informed that constant reversions without explanation on the discussion page is not considered appropriate. Asking for help here. Thanks Bzuk 13:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC).

Clara the rhinoceros

Hi Cpt. Panda, I just noticed that you tagged Clara the rhinoceros as part of WikiProject Biography. I thought (from reading the WP:WPBIO scope) that this project only really applied to humans, leaving rhinos (and even pandas, I fear) to fend for themselves. Not complaining, just checking in case you meant to tag a different Clara. --JayHenry 04:37, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Sikyos

Sikyos, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Sikyos satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sikyos and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Sikyos during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion.
