RE: Question

Hello Penwhale! I cannot say that anyone can really judge the outcome of the RfA process however, I would be more than happy to give you advice if you ever desire to go for the plunge :). The three mandatory questions of any RfA indicate the important areas that are going to be considered upon submission of your nomination. Though number one may seem like the most important (such as what you are going to do with the tools); in reality number two (your past contributions) and number three (your civility) are the biggest factors people weigh you on and consider you on. As much as eagerness and well-meaning is great, people reflect on your Wikipedia activity beforehand. I'm glad to see that you do make active contributions to Wikipedia space, which would make people comfortable knowing that you are aware of policy and would most likely be able to enact it well. People also like to be aware of your civility and your willingness for discussion; keeping a cool head in heated debates, utilizing article talk pages every now and then, and approaching users politely on their talk pages is much more assuring to see in an RfA candidate rather than someone who is prone to being hotheaded and unwilling to discuss anything. Another factor often considered is edit count/member time; in other words the amount of experience an editor has, how long an editor has been a member of the Wikipedia project, and their activity on a regular basis. I see edit count as being too penalized very often. Showing a favorable amount of contributions in a variety of areas as well as quality contributions alleviates some of the heavy "Editcountitis". Lastly those involved in RfAs look at some optional parameters such as amount of vandal fighting (which you probably already know), article expansion (such as bringing articles to FA or GA status), copyright tag knowledge (for image cases with disputed tags or incorrect tags), and deletion experience (such as being aware of articles that qualify under WP:CSD and being active in Articles for Deletion debates). For now I recommend you look back at the areas mentioned above and identify the places that you feel you could expand upon. I think its best if you give it another month or two and submit around May if you feel confident that you are have become balanced in most of those areas :). Also, don't stress on this process. The last thing you want to do is allow submitting an RfA distract you from building on your Wikipedia contributions or deprive yourself from still enjoying the site!¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 00:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:UW future?

Hi Penwhale,

Sorry for the blatant spam, but you have yourself down as interested at WikiProject user warnings WP:UW. There is a discussion on going here that might be of interest to you about the future of this project. There are two strawpolls on the talk pages and the second one is about the future of the WP:UW project. Now we have the end in sight we are looking at wrapping up the project and merging it with Template messages/User talk namespace WP:UTM and creating a one stop shop for all userspace templates. As you have yourself down as interested in this project we thought you may have some input on this issue, and would like you to visit the discussion and give any thoughts you may have on the matter. Cheers ^Khukri 10:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Luck of the draw you got such a complicated case to close, after the almost equally complicated opening yesterday. I think David Mestel drew a two-party case his first time out, but if, as I hope, you both stay involved, things should even out in the long run. Regards, Newyorkbrad 19:26, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

69.132.199.100 03:17, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Normally user talk page deletion is frowned upon if you have warnings displayed. That is why that we're reverting them. - Penwhale | ^{Blast him / Follow his steps} 03:19, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

What is Penwhale supposed to be looking at? Leebo ^T/C 04:30, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Typical

He's done this before, run to various editors complaining about me. Last time, it was a veiled accusation of pedophilia. You might wanna check out the Shelby Young talk page, as I've left a somewhat detailed account of this user's past abuses (on another anon account), not including the ones I suspect are him, but have no proof.

Ispy1981 15:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

And I can appreciate that. But, please don't think my actions are to further an edit war. I simply want to reach a consensus on this matter, based on the facts at hand, without constant disruption. He has, to my mind, violated several WP rules, under various names.

Ispy1981 15:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

And, that's been the main issue all along. He's spammed editors continuously (25 times in 2 hours), has repeatedly reverted the credit, been blocked and STILL has his hand in the cookie jar. I don't see how a grown man (I'm assuming he is a grown man) could be in such a fuss over one credit. And he keeps going back to IMDB, which has been proven invalid. As I said, for all we know, he could've been the one to remove the IMDB credit. Lots of users post erroneous things on IMDB. We're not going to resolve the issue right now, anyway, particularly as I have to go to work. If you want to leave me a response, that's cool. I'll get to it when I can.

Thank you!

Thank you for good advice with regard to "Internet troll squads" article. Unfortunately, it has been deleted. I would like to recreate the article under a slightly different name (say "Internet squads" - as in Russian Wikipedia). It seems that such Political Internet Squads (another name?) exist in China, Russia, and maybe somewhere else (?). I have found several good references about such squads in China. Any your thoughts about a better title for the article, good references, etc. would be appreciated. Perhaps we could make a new version of this article together.Biophys 15:18, 23 March 2007 (UTC) Also, I am a relatively new user here. If you trace my edits, you will see something like editing war between me and user Vlad Fedorov, for example in article Persecution of political bloggers. I tried to talk with him on the talk page of this article, but he simply deleted all my text. What would you suggest?Biophys 19:04, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digital-analog clock

Good evening (GMT time); I was just closing the above AfD, when I saved and up came the edit conflict screen. The redirect, etc.., has already been undertaken (see Digital clock and Digital-analog clock) with the consensus taken as merge (second post did not oppose, and so it taken to support) and as redirect (valid technical reason given by second post). With your consent, I'd like to close the AfD.

Your comment about an RfA

I didn't forget your comment on my talkpage about maybe seeking an RfA sometime. I have taken a look at your contributions and I would say you are on your way but I don't think you would succeed just yet. Editors typically look for a long-term record of dedication, including work in the mainspace writing or editing articles as well as participating in policy creation, deletion debates, vandalism fighting, etc. No one thing is dispositive but in general you will benefit from some additional experience in all the different areas. If you watchlist the RfA page and read some RfAs you will get a sense of what qualifications people expect to see.

I will add that your work helping us on the arbitration pages has been outstanding and will certainly be considered an asset to your overall record. Keep up the good work and thanks again. Regards, Newyorkbrad 17:39, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
