How do you become and administrator?[edit]

Hello FireFox. I do not know whether this is the kind of question I should be asking, but what kind of things do you have to do to become an administrator? I have been told that administrator privileges can be very useful to an active CVU member, like me (and you). Please reply -- The Neokid 19:35, 13 December 2005 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks for the advice.[edit]

Alternative Metal[edit]

This is mainly concerning your edits. Im not bitching at you, snarling, being aggressive or cold, but the edits your making to Alternative Metal are leading me, and several others watching them, further down the path of believing the article needs to be merged. Might i recommend to you, that even though you have been here a long time, that you not let your passion for the article take over your sense of writing. Many of the edits your making are filling out the history. Thats good, really good, except its the history of Nu Metal in general. Also, many of the edits are coming off as unencylopedic, or POV. Things such as 'metallish alternativish bands' over 'sungenre'? That some what says unecnyclopedic and POV.

I do seriously think you could make this article better. In the mean time, i suggest you chalk up a temp page and make revisions there, or, do it on a word document before you save anything direct to the article, so things like this can be discussed and a consensus reached.

Otherwise, go for it, but seriously, you need to start correcting the problems with the article, as at the minute, you seem to be furthering them. Leyasu 08:11, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think you got the wrong person. If you look at the edit history of Alternative Metal, you will see that I do not appear in it. I think the user you want is AJ Ramirez (talk · contribs). The only association I have with that user is that I weclomed him back in September. Please make sure you get the right person next time, you got me worried! All the best, Fir e Fox 09:35, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies. I chased the link his profile gave to his supposed User Talk page. It came here so i assumed AJ Ramierz was a seperate profile. Please dont take what i said to heart. Apologies for the inaccuracy and i hope this has caused no animosity between us. Leyasu 11:49, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What can I get for a Barnstar?[edit]

Gee. Thanks. Now that I have a Barnstar, can I ask a little favor? Could you ask User:Geni to unlock the User:Amorrow page? I am Andrew Morrow. The Elizabeth Morgan article, which I wrote, was a very upsetting thing to create and in late July it was hijacked and butchered and I wrote the some message I should not have.

When I was boy in Boy Scouts, I once left my tag on the board at the lake at Boy Scout camp. You know, the one to show that you are swimming there. Of course, they started to search the lake and the camp, looking for me. When they found me, the punishment was several hours of cleaning seaweed out of the roped off swimming area. I had to do my punishment in public, but once punishment was over, that was it.

My ex-wife, a physician, took my only child, my daughter, away from me when she was only three weeks old. Needless to say, that kind of punishment never really ends. That is part of the reason why I care so much about the Elizabeth Morgan story. I was hoping it would only take up one page, but I now see that it is better that it take up the full three pages at Wikipedia that it deserves. Of course, nobody involved in the July indicent thought that way: they just butchered the article of all of its references, and then I got upset and wrote a bad thing. Also, my daughter's name is also A. Morrow and I would like to think that if she ever Google'd "amorrow", that Geni's narrow characterization of me would not be the first thing she sees.

I would like User:Amorrow page unlocked. Not the account, just the user page. -- Fplay 17:56, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The page does not appeared locked to you because you are an admin now. Try using a non-admin account or log out and try anonymously. -- Fplay 18:09, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
