Multiple listings of schools
I would strongly discourage this. Schools have each a different range of available sources and deserve individual consideration. If you multiple list then you risk a train smash. I would also suggest you should carry out a Google News check (including archives) before listing any school. TerriersFan (talk) 03:42, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your vote on my RfA
Really, really bad haiku from a new admin
Setting new lows in thank-you spam:
Janitor's new tools
Spam must stop -- will new mop act?
Ooops, .com blocked
New admin, new tools
Earnest newbie furrows brow
Fare thee well Main Page
New mess all about
Sorcerer's Apprentice mop
Not supporter's fault
A. B. so grateful
Wikipedia trembles
Watch out DRV
A. B. wonders why
Copyright always confused
Fair use, farewell, bye
Qatar is blocked
Shucks those range blocks are tricky!
Will get it straight soon.
Dear RfA friend,
I will learn, chaos will fade
Thanks so much ... A. B.
"Fine editor, will show good judgement"[1] ... let's hope so!
So far the the Main Page is still there and I haven't yet blocked the nation of Qatar.

Great success!
Dear Malinaccier,
Thank you for your participation in my request for adminship, which ended successfully with a final tally of (52/10/1). I was impressed by the thoughtful comments on both sides, and the RFA process in general. The extra buttons do look pretty snazzy, but I'll be careful not to overuse them. If you have advice to share or need assistance with anything, feel free to drop me a message or email. Thank you and good day!
Cordially,
— xDanielx T/C\R 06:58, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I created this article, then saw your note at one of the deletion debates for the Fairfax County middle schools in which, if I read it right, you said you might do the same thing. Please feel free to look over my work and make whatever changes you think appropriate. I'm not enthusiastic about the new list, but it seems to me a better alternative than losing all the information when the various articles are deleted. If I'd seen your note first, I'd have left it to you to create the list. Noroton (talk) 02:35, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, my mistake. I misread what you wrote. Sorry. Noroton (talk) 02:37, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Admin coaching
I'm coaching User:JavaTenor right now, but it's perfectly okay with me. bibliomaniac15 03:11, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Re:Admin Coaching
Your name is listed on Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Status as fully available, and I was wondering if you were still available, and could coach me? I would understand if you couldn't. Thanks! Malinaccier (talk) 01:50, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately I am already coaching a user, and I think 2 users at once would be a bit too time-consuming.
- However, I see that Bibliomaniac15 has accepted, so I wish you luck! Feel free to ask either of us if you have any questions. Cheers- CattleGirl talk 09:28, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- Here's a subpage for the coaching: User:Malinaccier/Admin coaching. If you'd like, we could also communicate via e-mail, the messages of which would later be placed into the subpage. Let's begin! bibliomaniac15 20:56, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
RfA thanks
--Michael Greiner 19:02, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for supporting my RFA
<font=3> Thanks for your support, my request for adminship passed 62/0/0 yesterday!
I want to thank Snowolf and Dincher for nominating me, those who updated the RfA tally, and everyone for their support and many kind words. I will do my best to use the new tools carefully and responsibly (and since you are reading this, I haven't yet deleted your talk page by accident!). Please let me know if there is anything I can do to be of assistance, and keep an eye out for a little green fish with a mop on the road to an even better encyclopedia. Thanks again and take care, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 16:52, 15 December 2007 (UTC) |

RfA (not saying thanks don't worry)
Can you leave pointless questions just for a laugh? (occasionaly) F9T 20:44, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- Don't worry. F9T 16:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

RfA thanks
Dear Malinaccier, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind support on my request for adminship which succeeded with a final result of (72/19/6).
Now that I am a sysop, do not hesitate to contact me with any queries you have. I would be glad to help you along with the other group of kind and helpful administrators.
Thank you again and I look forward to editing alongside you in the future. — E talk 12:25, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
I've asked more questions. I thought you may want to read his answers. The Transhumanist 00:19, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Still need a coach?
Hello. I noticed your request for a coach over at Admin coaching, and I'm available.
Keep in mind that I'm not an admin - I've been through 3 intense RfAs (so far), and therefore I understand the process well, though I have not yet overcome the stigma of conflicts I was engaged in early in my participation here (which occurred over a year ago, also, if you want to see what not to do in an RfA, see my first two). But I am an admin coach, and have co-coached 5 users who have become admins, 4 of whom I co-nominated for adminship in their successful RfAs, and strongly endorsed the other as her admin coach. I have experience over a wide range of activities, and I'd say my general approach is progressive and direct.
If you do not currently have an admin coach, I would be glad to be your coach. I do have a few conditions though, and they are that you...
- watch your coaching page closely, and reply to every post there in a timely fashion
- fill in all of your edit summaries (if you find yourself forgetting, there's a setting in "my preferences" that will remind you)
- keep the "VC lessons" template somewhere you can access it easily (usually on your user page or your talk page). I'll place it initially, and then you can move it if you want. It'll include a convenient link to your coaching page.
- complete all the assignments you are given to the best of your ability. If you have trouble with an assignment, by all means, let me know, so we can discuss possible solutions and alternatives.
- take the advice provided by my fellow coaches and your fellow students to heart (this should be a group effort), and I generally invite others I work with to join in on the fun (which is why I'm usually a co-coach)
- (optional, though highly recommended) write a lesson for the Virtual classroom. There's plenty of time to think about this, so don't worry about it now.
- don't go for your RfA or accept an RfA nomination except from me - I will coordinate your nomination when I believe you are ready
Please let me know if you agree, and we can get started.
I look forward to your reply.

Thanks
Thanks for your support in my successful RFA. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 07:26, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
RFA
Thanks for some suggestions for an admin. I have started work on articles for deletion, and sadly, the Auto-Wiki browser is not working. Thanks for your opinion! Ohmpandya (Talk) 00:51, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Vandal reverts
In the future, when someone is reverting multiple instances of vandalism to an article, as I was to Brett Papworth , you might consider allowing them sufficient time (at least a minute or two) to finish up the vandalism reversions before re-reverting the interim changes immediately. It would help quite a bit to keep the mess down. Thank you. -- Michael Devore (talk) 01:00, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- No sweat, it's an extremely small thing in the scheme of Wikipedia, and I was probably as fault as anyone. I might have been a bit miffed because you caught me in an edit conflict and your revert invalidated my subsequent vandal revert in the process, so I was trying to figure out what was going on (can be hard to keep track when there are stacked vandal changes interspersed with possibly valid ones). Normally I would (and should) have waited a little bit after your intervention to see what was going on. So, I should have just kept my mouth shut and came back in five minutes, avoided the whole tiff. (copied to your talk page). -- Michael Devore (talk) 01:16, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Redwall template
Yeah, publication order is definitely better. I can't believe I hadn't noticed that. Definitely go ahead and change it. GlassCobra 01:51, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
