Ultraexactzz is now an Administrator

My RfA was successful, and closed with 44 Supports, 6 Opposes, and 1 Neutral. For your support, you have my thanks - I fully intend to live up to the lofty yet not-a-big-deal responsibility you have granted me. For those who opposed my candidacy, I value your input and advice, and hope that I may prove worthy of your trust. Special thanks to both Rudget and bibliomaniac15 for their expert coaching and guidance. I look forward to serving the project, my fellow editors, the pursuit of higher knowledge, et cetera, et cetera. Again, you have my thanks.

It appears you have commented in both the oppose and neutral sections of this RfA, perhaps you should indent one of your comments. Cheers, EJF (talk) 19:47, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Adminship?

Thanks for your vote of confidence! I'm going to have to think about that for a bit and read some of the current RfAs and get a feel for it. I will let you know in about a week! ... discospinster _talk 02:24, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm ready now, if you want to go ahead with the nomination. ... discospinster _talk 18:42, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Daniel Field

Thank you for correcting the title of the Daniel Field article to the full title of Daniel Field Airport. I didn't know how to go about re-naming an article and appreciate you jumping in and taking care of this needed change. Best wishes. Civilengtiger (talk) 19:22, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

RE: Thanks

Your welcome, and thank you for the barnstar, really appreciate it. You've just made my day. ;) Cheers, LAX 20:30, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

I appreciate the Barnstar. Corvus cornix_talk 21:15, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

user 89.26.156.163

Don't take this the wrong way but I think users get 4 warnings before they get blocked (although I see a lot of people skip level 2). I think this has something to do with assuming good faith(that they'll learn by the 4th warning...?) Just thought I would mention it. Oh and if you wanted to know where the templates for warnings are, there here, I use twinkle much faster. Hasta la Pasta--Pewwer42  Talk  02:58, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Pie is delicious. And, thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. Cheers! - superβεεcat  03:59, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert on my userpage

Hi NHRHS, just wanted to drop you a quick thank you for revert my userpage - much appreciated. Gwernol 20:11, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

RFA thanks

.: RFA thanks :.

Thanks for supporting me! My RfA passed with a final tally of 5 neutrals, 1 oppose and 148 supports, a turnout I couldn't have dreamed of. I'm going to do everything I can to help out the community, help with sysop tasks, and of course, contribute to the encyclopedia. If you ever need a hand with something, feel free to give a shout!

Quick question re Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce article

On February 7th, you reverted a rather large chunk of vandalism that was done to the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce article. I noticed this because it's an article that's on my watchlist.

When I went back to the history of that page today, I noticed that your change to revert the vandalism by user 99.231.171.146 is included, but the actual incident of vandalism isn't - that is, the change you undid no longer appears in the history.

Out of pure intellectual curiousity, I was just wondering whether that was usually how it works, or was this a special circumstance due to the nature of the vandalism, which I did see back when you did your revert? I thought all history remained visisble, even vandalism.

Thanks in advance. Mlaffs (talk) 19:57, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Reverting Vandalism / Rollback Rights

So how are you doing? I heard that Hdt83 recently became an administrator. I want to ask you what type of warning to we put on a user's talk page if they delete warnings. I saw that you got the rollback rights. How does that help you revert vandalism faster? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LADodgersAngelsfan (talk • contribs)

Adminship?

I've seen you around lots of times as a good user, so I would like to nominate you to be an administrator. Would you like to be one or not? NHRHS2010 04:51, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello NHRHS2010, thank you for your kind words but I have already been approached by other users with the interest of nomming me. Thank you though, perhaps I will go up for RfA within a couple of weeks. :-) Take care, friend. Scarian^{Call me Pat} 09:55, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Dear NHRHS2010, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind vote on my request for adminship which succeeded with a final result of (29/5/5).

I cannot thank you enough for you're support on my RFA. And now that I am a sysop, I will work hard to improve the encyclopedia with my new editing tools. Please 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. — Chetblong^{T C} 20:49, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Nousernamesleft

Hi, NHRHS2010, thanks for voting in my RfA, which passed with 47 supports (I hoped for a perfect square, but two away is close enough!), 3 opposes (the first odd prime), and 0 neutrals. I'm glad the community has decided to trust me with the mop and bucket (the flamethrower isn't supported). Of course, special thanks goes to my nominators Auawise and that one guy who buried stuff (not that the thanks I give to the you isn't special!). If you ever need a hand with something, or just want to say hello, tough feel free to drop a line! Best wishes, Nousernamesleftcopper, not wood 23:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC) This doesn't even vaguely resemble a mop, but I couldn't find a picture of one.

I can has thankspam?

Quick, let's delete the front page!

No seriously, thanks for contributing at my RfA which ended 68/0/0. I'm amazed and humbled by the result, and the warm and supportive comments that went with it. I've put the pic of Tiger here because although I know not everyone appreciates lolcats, to me it illustrates the possibility of taking things seriously with a light heart. I will try to do so, and remain open to the being slapped down if I do start being impossibly pompous. Thanks Pedro :  Chat  for your generous nomination, and also to Master of Puppets for ripping off his thankspam without so much as a by-your-leave. To all who contributed - especially the eventually withdrawn (but very interesting) neutral and oppose - thank you! Now it's off to new admin school for me, before I dare do anything for real...

OhanaUnited's RFA

.: Thank you! :.

Thank you for participating in my 2nd RfA and supporting me! My RfA passed unanimously at 79 support, 0 oppose, 0 neutral. I would like to take this opportunity to thank AndonicO and Rudget for nominating me. I also want to thank LaraLove for persuading me to keep going after I failed my first RfA. To be really honest, I am surprised that my RfA passed without any oppose or neutral. Being an administrator means more responsibilities, especially when I'm now an administrator on both English Wikipedia as well as WikiSpecies. I promise everyone that I will use the tools effectively to serve the community. If you need help on anything, don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Last but not least, remember the motto for Ohana: "When it comes to family, nobody gets left behind." Once again, thanks for placing your trust in me to help the community. OhanaUnitedTalk page 18:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Warnings

When I put a warning on someone's talk page do I have to put the month and the year (ie: February 2008)? And do IP addresses get to have 4 warnings every month or only 4 warnings? —Preceding unsigned comment added by LADodgersAngelsfan (talk • contribs) 08:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Rollback Rights

Can you make a youtube video to show how reverting vandalism is done with the Rollback Rights? LADodgersAngelsfan (talk) 10:47, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

RFA

Thanks for participating in my RFA, which closed successfully with 40 supports, 13 opposes, and 4 neutrals. For those of you who supported my RFA, I greatly appreciate it. For those who did not, I'm also thankful for your constructive criticism. If you need some advice or have some pointers for me, you know where to reach me! A special thank you to Majorly for all his time and effort he has placed in my nomination. Once again, thank you all for your helpful comments. Now off to new admin school!

New mailing list

There has been a mailing list created for Wikipedians in the New York metropolitan area (list: Wikimedia NYC). Please consider joining it! Cbrown1023 talk 21:25, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

WOW!!!!!!

Well, I can't say I ever expected someone to offer that. It would be nice to be an admin, so if you want to nominate me, I would like that. However, if you did nominate me, I would not be very surprised if I am not elevated, as I have comparitively few edits that are not vandalism reverts. So, yes, I would like to be nominated, and I would be able to survive "rejection", but if it would make you feel bad to see me "rejected", then please, don't nominate me. Again, I cannot say how much it means that you are willing to nominate me. I'd say it's flattering, but that carries the wrong connotation, and I don't know any other way to say what I feel like now.

Rollback

How long does it take you to revert vandalism with the rollback feature? Even though I don't have it, my speed continues to get higher and higher. Now I can't revert vandalism within 10-15 seconds, but for longer pages it takes me a litter longer cause I also have to scroll. Hope you would get 15,000 edits soon! LADodgersAngelsfan (talk) 02:38, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits, you are ranked 1581 and had 12311 edits on January 20. LADodgersAngelsfan (talk) 10:07, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
