Username concern

edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

Thank you. NHRHS2010 talk 00:45, 5 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

OhanaUnited's RfA

edit

No one expects a Pigman admin!

edit
  Wallowing in my RfA: This time it's personal...
My sincere thanks for your support in my request for adminship, which ended with 51 supports, 0 opposes, and 0 neutral. Doubtless it was an error to put one of the government-bred race of pigmen in any position of authority, but I hope your confidence in me proves justified. Even a man pure of heart and who says his prayers at night can become a were-boar when the moon is full and sweet. Fortunately, I'm neither a were-pig nor pure of heart so this doesn't appear to be an imminent danger to Wikipedia for the moment. Fortunate as well because were-pig hooves are hell on keyboards and none too dexterous with computer mice. If ever I should offend, act uncivil, misstep, overstep, annoy, violate policy, or attempt to topple the fascist leadership of Wikipedia, please let me know so I can improve my behaviour and/or my aim. I am not an animal; I am an admin. And, of course, if there is any way in which I can help you on Wikipedia, please do not hesitate to ask me. Despite my japes, I am indeed dedicated to protecting and serving Wikipedia to the best of my foppish and impudent abilities. I will strive to be an admirable admin, shiny and cool, reasonable and beatific. Pigmanwhat?/trail 05:56, 8 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Post Scriptum: I believe my collaged graphic at left, which incorporates the WP globe and mop image, falls under the rubric of parody for my purposes here. Or is it satire? Regardless, it's a legitimate and legally protected First Amendment usage under US law. Complaints and allegations that this is an improper "fair use" image will be entertained on my talk page, probably with fruit juice, finger food and exotic coffees.

Your edits to the vandalism4 warning template

edit

Hello. Thank you for your BOLD! changes to the {{uw-vandalism4}} warning template. Your good faith changes have been reverted, and the template returned to its prior state. If you would like to see this -or any of the warning templates- changed, please build consensus on the talk page first. Thanks, --Kralizec! (talk) 16:16, 18 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for voting in my RfA, which was unsuccessful with 19 support, 18 oppose, and 5 neutral. I have signed up for admin coaching and will retry later on in a couple more months.

Thank you for noticing my ability to quickly adapt to the many everchanging Wikipedia policies! I've been on WikiGrowthHormones since October 2007 when I started to actively edit again. I hope you'll support me again when the time comes for my second RfA, which I hope won't happen until maybe May 2008. Thanks again! - Jameson L. Tai talkcontribs 04:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Someguy2.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

  RfA: Many thanks
Many thanks for your participation in my recent request for adminship. I am impressed by the amount of thought that goes into people's contribution to the RfA process, and humbled that so many have chosen to trust me with this new responsibility. I step into this new role cautiously, but will do my very best to live up to your kind words and expectations, and to further the project of the encyclopedia. Again, thank you. --jbmurray (talkcontribs) 05:54, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Pardon?

edit

The user warning WikiProject has no authority to "mandate" anything. I'm afraid that the organization of warnings into a separate section is a very poor idea and one I'm sorry to see the WikiProject adopt. There is a very good reason why this format is almost never used by active vandal fighters: I very occasionally see the numbered list format, but this is almost never seen; I have never seen an example of a separate section for warnings. Just doesn't happen.

Finally, please do not template the regulars. I am an admin and have a substantial number of edits. It really isn't appropriate to tell an admin which format admins prefer, especially when all the evidence makes it clear you are wrong. Thanks, Gwernol 01:47, 22 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
