Re: RfA

I'd say that's a wise idea, but obviously it's your call. In my opinion, a willingness to accept the fact that you need more experience demonstrates maturity, so you're already off to a good start. :) –Juliancolton | ^Talk 00:53, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good. Best of luck! –Juliancolton | ^Talk 01:13, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree. If you're getting constructive feedback (as I hope mine was!) then let it run - you'll get far more feedback this way than by opening an editor review. Of course, if it starts to get nasty or if you've had enough, then withdraw. But hopefully it won't. Best wishes, — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:44, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

question

Since you are applying to become an admin, and admins should know everything, I have come to you with a question. When should the Shared IP template be used? If you reply here, please leave a talkback at my talk page. Thanks (and good luck on the RFA) Griffinofwales (talk) 04:49, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

The template's documentation states:

“

The {{SharedIP}} template is an IP user talk page template that shows helpful information to IP users and those wishing to warn or ban them. It takes two arguments, one required and one optional: the name of the organization to which the IP address is registered (preferably wikilinked or at least hyperlinked) (required); and the hostname (optional). It adds pages to Category:Shared IP addresses. It should not be substituted, but transcluded.

”

I'm pretty sure you're allowed to place it on the user talk page of anonymous editors when it has been confirmed that multiple editors use the IP. Hope that helps. -down load ׀ sign! 05:01, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I was just checking to see if a vandal had to use the IP before the template was placed.

When should Template:ISP be used? Griffinofwales (talk) 05:06, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it should be used when it is confirmed that an IP address is not stable, and after the internet connection is disconnected, the IP address is used by another person. This is different than {{sharedIP}} as the SharedIP template may show that two or more people who use the same computer/internet connection on a regular schedule. -down load ׀ sign! 01:21, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

That's why you submitted a RFA and I didn't.

Is there an easy way to know if IP addresses switch computers? Griffinofwales (talk) 01:35, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

That's the tricky part. It's either placed by the IP address itself, when there's multiple editors from a company, etc. In other cases, you'd need to refer to the editing style of the IP, and see if it might be shared. However, this is not always correct. So, I guess there is no easy way to do so. If you'd like to welcome IPs and encourage them to create an account, you could try adding {{subst:welcomeIP}} to their talk page though. -down load ׀ sign! 01:38, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

At your RFA a nominator mentioned a GA you worked on but you removed it from your list of articles because you only did some minor edits. You added the article to your user page at 1:18 GMT December 18, 2008. This might explain something. Griffinofwales (talk) 01:48, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

I really have no idea why I added the article, but looking at my contributions I believe that I added it as I made some important edits to Linkin Park's songs. -down load ׀ sign! 02:34, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Another question! Are IP addresses allow to blank their own talk pages? Griffinofwales (talk) 21:23, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Actually, they are. In fact, all users can remove anything off their talk page other than {{unblock}} templates while they are still blocked. -down load ׀ sign! 21:58, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

I saw your post at ANI. Were you serious about retiring? Because I don't believe you (no offense). Griffinofwales (talk) 01:28, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I'd considered it, but I'm too addicted to Wikipedia to retire. :) -down load ׀ sign! 01:30, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I'll try it with File:Movicons2-hello.gif as it has a white background and only two frames. -down load ׀ sign! 01:47, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I really might start editing .gifs; they seem easy enough and are quite fun. -down load ׀ sign! 04:07, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I've just found out that if I add a transparency to any of the layers, the other frames will peek through. I now have no idea of how to make the backgrounds transparent without opacity. -down load ׀ sign! 01:52, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Your RfA…

…unfortunately did not demonstrate the consensus necessary to become a sysop; I'm sorry. However, you received both support, and advice from those who did not feel you were ready at this time. Hopefully, if you are still interested, you can use this as a wiki-learning experience and further develop the skill and judgment that would allow you to gain the community's trust. Good Luck! -- Avi (talk) 22:49, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about your failed RfA, I thought you'd be a great admin. Like Avi said, if you fix any of the problems that were raised in the RfA, I'm sure you'll gain a lot more support. Good luck, I'll be looking forward to your next RfA (assuming you still wish to become an admin).--Disturbed Nerd999 (Delete!) 23:04, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Also, if you have any suggestions on improving my pages then please tell me. Ross Rhodes (T C) ^Sign! 16:38, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

{{Archive box|image=[[Image:Exquisite-folder html.png]] |{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveThis |archiveprefix=User talk:Ross Rhodes/Archives/ |format=Y/F |age=192 |index=yes }} }} This should get ClueBot III to come along and archive your page.

You can make it archive threads older than two days by changing a parameter:

{{Archive box|image=[[Image:Exquisite-folder html.png]] |{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveThis |archiveprefix=User talk:Ross Rhodes/Archives/ |format=Y/F |age=48 |index=yes }} }} That should work. -down load ׀ sign! 21:24, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Something I think you better check out...

Hi Download. While contributing to a discussion on Timeline of United States inventions, a user left a message at the bottom of the section saying the following;

I'll simply repeat myself by suggesting that this list be deleted and that the list items be worked into their respective articles. I find no justification for this list beyond an affirmation of "American exceptionalism," which would be a rather unencyclopedic stance to take. If deletion is off the table and the best that can be hoped for is a name change, then I suggest we merge this list with "America, Fuck Yeah" and use that title, which approximates the vibe that this list gives off.

I think something should be done about this. If you want to find this on the talk page, its the eighth paragraph on the Name change section. I just thought something should be done about it and have no idea what to do. Ross Rhodes (T C) ^Sign! 20:04, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

This hasn't violated Wikipedia policy, as this user is just expressing his opinion. However, it's quite unreasonable suggesting the article be renamed to that name. If this user starts acting like a troll, you could possibly take this to WP:ANI. As for my opinion, I think the name is adequate as it expresses the same idea in a short title; otherwise, it could be changed to Timeline of inventions from the United States. -down load ׀ sign! 02:19, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

The "tone" template

Please explain what you mean by "style may need work" in your comment on the "tone" template you placed on the "Igor Panarin" page. Did you mean to do this work yourself? If you think that I can do it (with my limited knowledge of English), please be more specific - what exactly needs improvement and where? Thanks! Лъчезар (talk) 07:32, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I thought the article was written similarly to a personal reflection or essay. This should be an easy fix - I think section titles such as "And what about Russia?" and "Reflections" may need to be reworded. -down load ׀ sign! 22:47, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

OK, now I understand. Well, you already changed the first of these titles, and I - the second, so I think that the template can be removed, which I just did.

		The Helping Hand Barnstar

Me again.

Hi Download, I just wanted to ask: is it possible to get my userpages protected? Like how you can protect articles, and if so, I would like my talkpage semi-protected too. Ross Rhodes (T C) ^Sign! 19:16, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

It is possible to protect all pages on Wikipedia. However, pages are not protected preemptively. I've checked your userpage and talk page and find no signs of vandalism; therefore, a protection request will most likely be denied. However, I would strongly discourage protecting one's talk page in any way unless messages become threats and release personal information. Should you ever have any vandalism on a page in your userpage, however, you can go to WP:RFPP to request page protection. -down load ׀ sign! 22:27, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Just to say, I got my userpage semi-protected, which was good enough. Thanks for telling me where to put a request! :) Ross Rhodes (T C) ^Sign! 20:46, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Hey mate ! Wats the use of a Accounts creator Permissions. what can we do with that permissions Subash.chandran007 (talk) 09:26, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

The account creator permission allows you to create accounts for other users who cannot do so using the automated process. This privilige allows you to bypass the 5 new accounts per day limit. For more information, see Wikipedia:Request an account/Guide. You can also request this permission at WP:PERM. -down load ׀ sign! 22:37, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

How about this? Subash.chandran⁰⁰⁷ If you want to use this, then copy and paste this code into User:Subash.chandran007/Signature. After doing so, add {{subst:User:Subash.chandran007/Signature}} into the Signature field at Special:Preferences. -down load ׀ sign! 00:32, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for participating in my "RecFA", which passed with a final tally of 153/39/22. There were issues raised regarding my adminship that I intend to cogitate upon, but I am grateful for the very many supportive comments I received and for the efforts of certain editors (Ceoil, Noroton and Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record.
I recognise that the process itself was unusual, and the format was generally considered questionable - and I accept that I was mistaken in my perception of how it would be received - but I am particularly grateful for those whose opposes and neutrals were based in perceptions of how I was not performing to the standards expected of an administrator. As much as the support I received, those comments are hopefully going to allow me to be a better contributor to the project. Thank you. Very much. LessHeard vanU (talk) 13:02, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi!

hi, i came back but only today, well, i'm very active at clubpenguin.wikia.com --→Ratón Bat→ 15:25, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Great to see you back. :) -down load ׀ sign! 00:23, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Look at this!

Hey dowload, take a look at this: Wikipedia:Trading card game. Pretty neat, id like to get my hands on a deck myself! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Assasin Joe (talk • contribs) 19:28, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, again!

Hi, i decided to come back!--→Ratón Bat→ 11:16, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

My new secret page.

I made a new secret page! Can you find it? Try! --Sushiflinger (Goldblattster) (talk!) 15:19, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Just found it. :) It was quite hard to find. -down load ׀ sign! 21:06, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for saying it was hard. I am not sure if you did, but the plan was to go to User:Sushiflinger/sandbox2 and click on the "0101010101" link, and then you would go to the penny page. I was thinking of making it "harder" also so that I could upload the image saying congrats instead of text because usually the image on the bottom would load last, but I decided not to because if they found the image page they could find my secret page. --Sushiflinger (Goldblattster) (talk!) 12:48, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, I'm glad to be the first one to have signed the page. :) -down load ׀ sign! 17:04, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Similarities

You compose music on Mixcraft? Me too! I thought I'd just mention it. Ross Rhodes (T C) ^Sign! 21:40, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't use it extensively, but I do use it once in a while. We seem to have many similarities. :) -down load ׀ sign! 21:41, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

I know, and I just happened to be adopted by you. One thing you're definatly better at is editing on Wikipedia. :) Ross Rhodes (T C) ^Sign! 21:53, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

You've already seen my userbox page, so you'll know what else we have in common I suppose. I think you should have a page with all your userboxes, because I'm sure you could have more than you do on your userpage, and I could get to know you a little better. Ross Rhodes (T C) ^Sign! 22:01, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

I guess I might consider making a userbox page. Happy editing! :) -down load ׀ sign! 00:22, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Let me know if you do make one. Ross Rhodes (T C) ^Sign! 08:51, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Listen to this

Here are some jokes I heard; tell me what you think of them.

Question	Answer
What's big and green, and can't fly?	A field!
What's pick and fluffy?	Pink fluff!
What's red and bad for your teeth?	A brick!
What's brown and sticky?	A stick!

Still thinking about the userbox page? I suppose you know you can find a gallery of them here. That's where I got all mine from. Ross Rhodes (T C) ^Sign! 09:21, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm making one at the moment. :) -down load ׀ sign! 17:07, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

One box at the moment. Better than none I suppose. I presume you'll add more later if you aren't at the moment. Ross Rhodes (T C) ^Sign! 17:38, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

I'll be adding more over the next few days. I just added a lot related to Wikipedia. -down load ׀ sign! 17:43, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

It's good. Can you let me know when it's finished? I'd like to see it when it's complete. Ross Rhodes (T C) ^Sign! 17:58, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
