Thanks very much, Habashia. That was clever to think of the Google cache. Any ideas on finding the original author? Tim Ross·^talk 16:00, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I notice you are placing a lot of speedy tags using {{db:not notable}} or some other narrative reason. There are specific criteria of speedy deletions and it would probably be advisable to explicitly nominate the particular reason you are basing the delete requies on: they are documented at Wikipedia:Speedy_deletions. "Not notable", for example, has to guide an appropriate choice when the admin actually decides to delete. A non-notable band could be deleted under {{db-band}} but there is no equivalent category for albums so these cannot be speedily deleted for reasons of notability alone.

Further to this, It's probably worth waiting more than 4 minutes from page creation to flaggin something as a speedy delete doue to something being no-notable (which is a non-criteria, according to WP:SPEEDY. In addition, it's polite to notify page authors -- Ratarsed (talk) 13:59, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. As I said to Ros0709, I still have a lot to learn!--Habashia (talk) 14:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh snap, the DEA is an admin

I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent RfA, which I'm very glad to say was successful at 81/7/0. Some of the very best that Wikipedia has to offer came out to support or oppose me and the kind words from all the editors has really given me confidence to be an admin and I can't wait to start. I will take the advice of the opposes and not jump into any content disputes immediately. As well, I will try to add more content myself. Anyways, in thanks for participating in my RfA, here's your very own personal humanoid robot. Enjoy! --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk - Contribs) 14:28, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Habashia, I wanted to thank you for your participation in my recent RFA. those last few supports really helped to calm my nerves. feel free to check out my in-depth RFA analysis if you're interested (comments are welcome). also, I've left some templated thank spam below. all the best, xenocidic (talk) 00:07, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

templated rfa thank-spam

Thank you for your support

I would like to thank the community for placing their trust in me during my recent request for adminship, which passed 72 13 2 . Rest assured, I have read each comment thoroughly and will be addressing the various concerns raised as I step cautiously into my new role as janitor. In particular, I would like to thank Balloonman for putting so much time into reviewing my contributions and writing such a thoughtful nomination statement after knowing me for only a brief period of time (and for convincing me that I was ready to take up the mop now, rather than go through admin coaching).

To my fellow admins - please let me know right away if I ever take any mis-steps with my new tools. Should I make a mistake, and you reverse the action, I will not consider it to be wheel-warring (but please tell me so I can understand what I did wrong).

To everyone - please feel free to slap me around a bit if I ever lose sight of the core philosophy of Wikipedia as I understand it - the advancement of knowledge through the processes of mutual understanding and respect. As always, feel free to drop by my talk page if I can be of any assistance. =)

Sincerely,

Thanks, Habashia, for participating in my recent RfA, which recently passed with 81 support and 1 neutral !votes. I appreciate all the support and constructive criticism offered in my RfA and I thank you for taking the time to !vote in my nomination. I feel so honoured to be trusted by so many of you and please, if you have any advice, comments or complaints about my actions as an administrator, leave a note on my talk page. I would also like to thank Acalamari, Rlevse and Nishkid64, for their nomination statements. Thank you again. AngelOfSadness talk 23:29, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!
