User talk:Shauri/Archive3

You're a sysop!

Hi, Shauri/Archive3, Congratulations on Becoming a Sysop

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, ban anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on Votes for deletion (provided there's a consensus) for more than one week, protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.

Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:16, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Me too

Welcome, Shauri, to where you belong, among the admins!--Wiglaf 10:48, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Popups tool

Congratulations on being made an admin! I thought you might like to know of a javascript tool that may help in your editing by giving easy access to many admin features. It's described at Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups. The quick version of the installation procedure for admins is to paste the following into User:Shauri/Archive3/monobook.js:

// [[User:Lupin/popups.js]] - please include this line 

document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' 
             + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/popups.js' 
             + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');

popupShortcutKeys=true; // optional: enable keyboard shortcuts
popupAdminLinks=true;   // optional: enable admin links

There are more options which you can fiddle with listed at Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups. Give it a try and let me know if you find any glitches or have suggestions for improvements! Lupin|talk|popups 14:58, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations - you seem to deserve it

Hi, Shauri. Congratulations on being made an admin. I hope you didn't mind my slightly flippant remark about "hugs" when I was voting! (Since I was voting for you, I figured that you wouldn't!) I remember in the (very happy) years when I lived on the continent, feeling almost alarmed at the tendency of people to kiss me on my birthday etc. when they hardly knew more about me than just my name! Anyway, I'm delighted that your RfA was successful. Although I hadn't come across you before – which means that we must be interersted in very different articles – the comments made by others, and my own brief look through your contributions, suggested that you respect other people's views and feelings. And, to my mind, that's a far more important quality in an admin than the number of edits, or success in having contributed to a Featured Article. Regards. Ann Heneghan ^(talk) 17:55, 2 October 2005 (UTC) P.S. I think Grace Note is male, not female, although the user name almost invites the error!

Yay! You're a Cabalist!

Welcome to the admin ranks! I'm very glad to see that your RfA passed (was a little worried there for a while). Did you know that only 0.13% of all users are admins? That's pretty exclusive. I'm sure you'll be fine. Now, just make sure you have enough time to rollback my userpage when the vandals attack. ;). Congrats! Bratsche^{talk | Esperanza} 21:34, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Congrats, BTW my name is Jon not Jobe, that was just a really random user name i picked for soem reason. Jobe6 21:40, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Great job!

Hi Shauri, I know the reply might be deemed unneccsary, but I just wanted to express my delight at your successful admin nomination and to say thanks for the thanks :-). Even though I don't know you, your edits demonstrate that you'll perform your admin duties with responsibility and thoughtfulness. By the way, I hope you have the same success with the Texas Ranger Division article as you did with Spring Heeled Jack. Thanks to a certain Chuck Norris, I'm really fascinated about the Texas Rangers :-D I hope I come across you again. Take care, and sorry about this gushing message :-).

Thanks & Congrats

Your RfA

Congratulations, and you're quite welcome! --Merovingian (t) (c) 02:56, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations on becoming an admin! But be careful about handing out random hugs to strange older men you meet on Wikipedia!! By the way why do you take your talk page with milk? CambridgeBayWeather 08:13, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

RFA

Thanks for the warm notes and compliments. First time I've ever been given a hug :). Me, a wiki legend??? But thanks anyways and hope to see more of you in FAC. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 09:04, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

If you're looking for some tips on adminship; I've written something here: User talk:DESiegel#You're promoted. You may find it useful as a newbie admin. =Nichalp «Talk»= 09:07, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

the usual :)

Congrats on getting "elected" :). Try to take it easy the first couple of weeks, esp. not to get too dragged into the politics, mmk? Take care :) Ryan Norton ^{T | @ | C} 09:48, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Still more congradulations

As I was saying on my Talk page-

CONGRADULATIONS to you, my dearest friend. It is a joy to collaborate with you! You are a great contributor and will be a great admin as well. *MEGA WARM HUG* from your Dood Ex Machina --R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 14:40, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi.

Hi Shauri. I thought your article on Spring Heeled Bob was awesome. By the way I'm friends with R.D.H., he says he knows you. Anyway, I think you're interesting & thought maybe you wanted to swap a conversation? If you don't that's okay... Spawn Man 14:12, 3 October 2005 (UTC) P.S. Did you know, you share the same name as a place in Kenya?

Congratulations!

Congratulations on the results of your RfA! It's unfortunate when the candidate doesn't feel trusted, and I'm glad if my comments in some way helped you feel that the community had a little more confidence in you. Your answers to the questions, and also to the opposition, showed a level-headed graciousness that is too often abandoned online, and really impressed me. I know you'll make a good administrator, and I hope the politics associated with the position doesn't get you down. If you want a second opinion on anything, feel free to leave me a note on my talk page, and again, congratulations! --Scimitar ^parley 14:52, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

My RfA

Shauri-- Thank you very much for your kind words and support on my RfA, although it appears to be too little, too late. It appears at the moment to be headed for "no consensus". Since many editors have said they may vote support in a few months time, I hope you might consider supporting me again. People really seem to be divided over me, even though it's supposed to be "no big deal". Oh well. I guess I will just have to stick with it and try again later. Gracias, mi amiga. --Lord Voldemort ^{(Dark Mark)|My RfA} 21:02, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

And yet more congratulations

Hi Shauri. Congratulations on your adminship. I completely missed the last few RfA nominations, otherwise I would have definitely voted for you. From what I have seen, you will make a great Admin! Happy Editing! -- Chris 73 Talk 05:55, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

userpage

Hi Shauri! Your userpage is so impressive. And those images...--Wiglaf 06:06, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

A bit creepy... Spawn Man

Namaskar

Namaskar Shauri, congratulations and my best wishes for your new avatar as an administrator. We shall surely have more interaction. And, I am telling you the truth (I believe none is listening!) – thanks for the warm hugs. --Bhadani 14:52, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

That's fine

Congratulations. Have a barnstar on me:

Take care, Molotov (talk) 19:16, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

AHEM

Shauri, I had no idea you were even up for admin. Now I randomly visit your talk page and am pleased to see that not only were you nominated, but were promoted. Congratulations! I only wish I could have seen the nom to add my $.02. All my best · Katefan0^(scribble) 20:38, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Re: Congrats

And congrats on yours...and no I'm not paying. :) I was glad to see your admin RfA succeed. On an emotional level, I thought you should become an admin. On a logical one, I wanted to see the pattern continue. I hope it does! You're a great editor. --Durin 21:02, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Ive kinda sorta fixed your image section for you. If you dont like it, thats ok, you can just revert it :). →Journalist >>talk<< 22:26, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
