RfA

Hello Maile66, PCHS-NJROTC has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Go on, smile! Cheers, and happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Don't be discouraged just because you have some oppose votes. If you succeed in the RfA, congrats! If not, don't give up what you're already doing. My RfA several years ago went horrible compared to your's. I hate having to oppose a fellow Wikipedian, but I do it for my love of the project.

Maile66, your RfA is going so well! I mean compared to many RfAs that are brutal. You should be very pleased and not stressed at this point. An early congratulations. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:38, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

You are now probably almost an administrator

Congratulations on your successful RfA. Check out the newly revamped WP:ADMINGUIDE and let me know if I can be of any assistance as you step into your new role. –xeno^talk 15:03, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

I'm so sorry I closed your RfA early. I don't know how I managed to misread the clock! –xeno^talk 15:10, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Aaaand we're back. On with it! –xeno^talk 15:06, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

A cookie for you!

Congrats on the mop! Take some time to chill from the ~~inquisition~~ RfA, and then get to work!

-- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 15:05, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Okay, that's a first! Either way, enjoy the early cookies and your almost-certain adminship -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 15:09, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Well, I consider your cookie-gram an advance notice. Ha ha ha. Xeno proved how human we all are. — Maile (talk) 15:15, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

It's given me a chance to cast a support !vote

Just 24 more hours and you'll be all set to test if you can really delete the main page... -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 15:20, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks to all who supported my RFA

Thanks to all who supported my RFA. — Maile (talk) 15:06, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

This is rather embarrassing. I've promoted you exactly 24 hours too early. As this is clearly a mistake, I'm going to self-revert my actions. –xeno^talk 15:07, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Oh, pooh. I'm leaving my thank you message up here, anyway. — Maile (talk) 15:11, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

It's quite fetching. –xeno^talk 15:14, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

It is good to see you didn't cause any huge problem in those 18 seconds! — xaosflux ^Talk 17:00, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

I saw that, and assumed it was some kind of WP:SNOW close, even though we don't do those for RfAs! Ah well, see you again tomorrow... — Amakuru (talk) 17:27, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

You should get some kind of award for being promoted faster than anyone else. Gratz on the overwhelming support, that doesn't happen often these days. - Dank (push to talk) 14:24, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Congrats on passing RFA! SQL ^{Query me!} 14:59, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

I think I got it right this time - your mop is back and yes, you probably set some kind of record on Wikipedia:List of resysopped users. Sorry for jumping the gun! –xeno^talk 15:01, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Successful RfA

Congratulations for adminship !! CAPTAIN RAJU ^(✉) 15:09, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Congrats..The admins' T-shirt for you. CAPTAIN RAJU ^(✉) 15:10, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to the mop. Please come by my talk page if you have any questions. HighInBC 15:29, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
Congratulations, Maile66! My only advice is to start slowly and find scripts that will make the tasks easier. Go to admins who are very active and check their .js subpages. Good luck! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 15:39, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
Mega-congrats! It is only once in a blue moon that a find an RfA candidate worth supporting. Good luck and best wishes. Coretheapple (talk) 15:49, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
Well done. Welcome to the pain and blame! The Rambling Man (talk) 16:20, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Congrats. Did I miss the party? Buster Seven Talk 09:46, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
I'm late, but wanted to say congrats.--v/r - T P 21:49, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
Belated congratulations from me too. The RfA resulted in an overwhelming consensus, for a deserving candidate. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:17, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Congrats on passing RFA and getting the mop! Here's some caffeine to keep the engines going and the fire burning! —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 15:32, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Got my cup filled with mega-doses of caffeine, and I'm prepping the bucket for the mop. — Maile (talk) 21:45, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Barnstars for you!

	The Lots of Barnstars Award
	Congratulations! You are receiving all these barnstars because of your successful RFA! Peter Sam Fan 15:46, 2 May 2016 (UTC) Thank you, thank you, thank you. — Maile (talk) 21:44, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

congratulations!

Congratulations on your successful RFA!
Allow me to impart the words of wisdom I received from the puppy after my RFA passed – nine long, sordid, I-should-have-found-a-better-hobby years ago:

Remember you will always protect the wrong version. (I got nothing here. It's inevitable.)
Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. Without exception, you will pick the wrong one to do. (See #5.)
Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll. (You'll attract many more of those now, because mop. They must like to drink the dirty water in the bucket.)
Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block, because really, what else is there to live for?
Remember that when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology. It will not be a personal attack because we are admins and, therefore, we are all rouge anyway.
Finally, remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able.

Katie^talk 21:37, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Oh, dear me. I never saw a funnier recap of what I've been noticing about admins before I ever ran. Thank you for this, and I may look you up someday for advice. — Maile (talk) 21:42, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Some falafel for you!

Nice work, I wish you the best of luck! GAB^Hello! 00:22, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for this. I happen to love falafel.— Maile (talk) 00:26, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

And for dessert...

After your tasty falafel, you'll be wanting something sweet - and what better than an old fashioned British spotted dick. Congratulations on getting the mop, from the second newest admin! — Amakuru (talk) 10:20, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

I feel my arteries harden reading that recipe. However, the brown sugar in the mix sounds really good. Oh!....another tooth cavity! The British DO have the most interesting names for food! — Maile (talk) 17:36, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

What are you waiting for?

You have not tried out your shiny new mop yet, if you are looking for work you can find some here: Category:Administrative_backlog. HighInBC 16:12, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

This is very useful. Thank you. — Maile (talk) 17:29, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Some stroopwafels for you!

Congratulations! Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 21:40, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Oooooh, thank you. Stroopwafels are actually quite addictive. — Maile (talk) 21:51, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Congratulations

	Congratulations on successful RFA
	Congratulations on your successful RFA. My grandmother cooked mutton biryani from scratch and I had some of it for dinner. Here, because of your successful RFA I will share with you as my way of saying congratulations :). EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 06:34, 5 May 2016 (UTC) Looks yummy. Thank you. — Maile (talk) 12:05, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Congrats on your RfA, and remember, be alert for these vandals, they even might vandalize your user page and your talk page because those vandals love to hop and vandalize right at ya! Watch for these trolls, they like to mess and play around and drink the bucket's dirty water. Enjoy your mop and bucket! KGirlTrucker87 (talk) 21:00, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. I'll be on the lookout...— Maile (talk) 21:05, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Belated congratulations! Hawkeye7 (talk) 04:14, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

A walk down memory lane

Remember the time I promoted you 24 hours too early? I went looking for a record of the shenanigans and found they were tucked away, in a disused utility room, behind a closet door with a sign saying "beware of the panther". Why aren't they in your archives?! –xeno^talk 16:20, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

@Xeno: Because some classic moments deserve their own sub page. I'd rank that one right up there with someone saying, "And the Academy Award goes to ... oh, no, not yet! Get back there behind the curtain!" You'll find it at User:Maile66/RFA. And thanks for reminding me. — Maile (talk) 17:45, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
