About Rush[edit]

<!-- do I post below the lines? --!>:-)

I haven't editted the Rush (band) article again, but I posted more on the Talk:Rush (band) page; and I'm also mentioning this in the talk pages of User talk:Fnlayson and User talk:Wisdom89.70.54.181.70 (talk) 19:43, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of gestures[edit]

I note that you have reverted unsourced controversial additions to List of gestures in the past. Would you mind looking at this edit? I reverted virtually the same addition yesterday, and don't wish to start a revert war. As I noted on the talk page, the "reference" is simply a picture of Sam Newman making the gesture on Facebook.

WP Purpose[edit]

Well, I don't think think this is really the purpose of WP, but I won't push it. Dreadstar ☥ 22:18, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PS, I've seen this user's tit-for-tat edits here, so I'm not particularly impressed with any underlying purpose. Dreadstar ☥ 23:01, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Have not seen those. I just encountered them over an ip editor that was removing "Palestine" from the 'pedia. I do agree that the "userbox" needs to go. Uh oh. I think I typo'ed at ANI. Dloh cierekim 23:16, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I may have messed up the ANI report. Blame it on drinking <sigh> Dreadstar ☥ 00:15, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
Well, it has certainly taken on a life of its own. <double sigh> I actually proposed that they remove a lot more than the "userbox". They weren't interested at all. I certainly have not taken offense at any of your posts to me. You might want to drop a note at AN/I. Oh, well. Dloh cierekim 00:22, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's always surprising what can happen with a subject that is so obviously clear-cut..but then there's always somebody appeasing somebody. Dreadstar ☥ 00:33, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"this criteria[edit]

Well said.17:53, Dloh cierekim 17:54, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I hope Fastily considers changing that particular RFA criteria so that it reflects an actionable reason, instead of relying a seemingly random number. During my last RFA is was swamped with negative comments, but those were quite valid - and a good indication that i had to change my editing style (And how this should be done).

Besides, i agree with User:Dlohcierekim/On RfA. Each admin performs different functions - and because of this different requirements should apply as he or she might not need a certain set of knowledge. Someone who wrote 10 featured article's isn't the most fit person to work on AIAV if he or she never worked as a vandalism patrol. Similarly i should stay away from NFCC related discussions as i have to little experience as a user to do something worthwhile in this section.

See your awards[edit]

A blue one to go with the orange one. :) Dloh cierekim 18:25, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you kindly, i will make sure to keep it well fed - and i will assure you that the food will be the correct kind. :)

Two small suggestion for the template though: You may want to use a float:center instead of float:left on the blue one, as the left float seems to conflict with section headers (They get placed next to the award, instead of under it). A second suggesting is using height:90px in the div style on both templates. This one is mostly for visual reasons, as doing so will make sure that the blue / yellow box has an equal amount of spacing on top or at the bottom of the image. The set height doesn't work well for large amounts of text so using it would limit the template to 5 full lines of text as more will cause visual errors, but i think that will be enough in most cases. And n, lower screen resolutions don't seem to affect the amount of text that can be added. Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 18:44, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy. I'm not sure I understood your metaphor in your comment at the conclusion of this thread. Maybe I haven't had enough coffee this morning, but perhaps you could help me understand your point? Cheers. Toddst1 (talk) 12:33, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This can be unprotected now, the issue is long over. Aiken ♫ 22:13, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As the discussion is closed, the issue is moot. The page needs to not be edited further. Xeno left a note with the closing crat. If he or anyone else wants to reverse or unprotect, they may do so. Dloh cierekim 22:16, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You might as well unprotect it, as you were the one to protect it. There's no issue with it. Can you just do it please. Aiken ♫ 22:18, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re Ash Thursday and this diff[edit]

thisDIFF - it's not so much that admins bite but they can squish and I bleed like a sonaofbeach. --Morenooso (talk) 23:25, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And, you're right about the welcome message edit. Too bad there's not a Welcomebot that takes care of that. --Morenooso (talk) 23:27, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Too true. I think the software should lay one on at the time of account creation. Dloh cierekim 23:29, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RfA Thanks[edit]

I wanted to thank you for participating in my RfA, which succeeded at 134/4/0. I am truly amazed but equally elated by the result and I hope I am able to serve as a good administrator. It was a surreal experience to succeed, and I will strive to meet your expectations.

More specifically, thank you for your strong support. I was humbled by your rationale and hope I can meet your expectations.

Thanks! ceranthor 13:21, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Melanie Atmadja[edit]

Hi. I am not sure if we can use a speedy per WP:CSD#G4, when the AfD didn't run to completion but was terminated with a speedy. One way or another, the article is doomed. Favonian (talk) 14:34, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lipsum[edit]

Wow I now remember that comment - as I recall someone at WT:RFA asked what the "Latin" meant in the templates. How nice to see it preserved! Now I must get back to support the RFA that lead me there. Pedro : Chat 20:27, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your speedy delete decline of Coptic Soldier[edit]

You declined a G4 speedy delete request of this article on the grounds that it "may be notable" however the article was deleted in August of last year per an AfD. To be recreated it needs to go through DRV even if it now includes claims that would make it keepable. –– Lid^(Talk) 02:35, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In a surreal twist I was bored and was looking at my old old RfA and spotted this Support Meets my standards. No evidence would abuse the tools. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 03:43, 7 November 2007 (UTC). So thanks many many years later. –– Lid^(Talk) 03:11, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note. I was not aware that an improved article needed to be DRV'd to decline a G4, as I was not reversing the original decision. If you could point me toward the appropriate place, I appear to have some reading to do. Dloh cierekim 14:59, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your signature[edit]

Hello, Dlohcierekim. I have noticed your signature uses <big> tags, which is discouraged per WP:SIG. If you want to make the Dloh stand out from the rest of your signature, you can use <small> tags, so your signature looks like this:

Dloh cierekim

The markup is as follows:

[[User:Dlohcierekim|<font color="#00ff00">Dloh</font>]][[User_talk:Dlohcierekim|<small><font color="#bb00bb">cierekim'''</font></small>]]

Don't worry. This same issue was brought up to me by User:SoWhy. ~NerdyScienceDude (✉ message • changes) 21:46, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I was just trying it out to see how it looked. Dloh cierekim 15:00, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

About Person[edit]

Hello, I would kindly like to bring you attention about a political person there had been wide disruption in the article IP address are trying to remove valuable material from the article. Two recent activities i had reverted like this one or this. Since i don't have any administrative privileges , therefor i would like semi-protect permanently from further vandalizing.--Kkm010 ^as© 18:11, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template[edit]

Stolen shamelessly from you (although now I see you've upped to 6mo/6k here), let me know what you think of {{notnow}}. I was prompted to do this because of this RFA which was briefly transcluded. Everytime I see one of these I always had to go searching for the well worded commentary that you had used with this situation happened in the past.

If you think it's too formal to have it in such an official form please feel free to kill it right away, and I'll just keep a local copy (or remember to come back to your On_RFA page to plagerize it again). Thanks. 7 00:03, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, I think it's perfect and am thrilled by your note. Alas, others may not see it as we do and may object to it being formalized. 'twould be best to gain consensus, though there is something to be said for being BOLD and dealing with objections if they arise. Dloh cierekim 14:48, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

move of Suzan Najm Aldeen[edit]

Hi. With reference to your recent move:

15:03, 21 March 2010 Dlohcierekim (talk | contribs) m (2,879 bytes) (moved Suzan najm aldeen to Suzan Najm Aldeen: caps) (undo)

The move was entirely justified, but why did you turn off the automatic redirect and also not check for inward links? I'm a little puzzled. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 23:07, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Probably a matter of either fatigue or being pulled in another direction and not circling back. Can't remember so long after the event. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 13:39, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
