My Request for Bureaucratship

Hi Sarah, I know you opposed my request for bureaucratship mainly because you agreed with Rdsmith4 that becoming a bureaucrat might detrimentally affect my contributions to articles. I just thought I'll explain why most of my recent contributions happen to be in the article namespace and why this isn't typically representative of what I do on the Wiki; almost half of my edits have been to the project or project talk namespace. (Much of the following paragraph is similar to what I explained to Rdsmith4 on his talk.)

Mainly, I've avoided janitorial duties in the past months because of my limited internet access (as I explained on the RfB), and I of course place a higher priority on improving and writing articles than janitorial duties. However, because I now have internet access at home, I have a lot more spare time to help out on Wikipedia, as evinced by my closing of AfD debates over the past few days. (Most of them were controversial because I focused on the backlog; all the easy ones had been taken by other admins already.) I already helped clear out some the "easy" debates Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2005 November 25, and now I'm itching to find some other thing to do because I have *a lot* of free time on my hands. Going through the RFA talk archives, I noticed that Uninvited Company (another bureaucrat) said it takes about half an hour to close one RFA debate. Usually I spend two or three hours a day closing AFD debates (and I stop only because you can enjoy closing only so many debates in one day), which works out to four to six RFAs a day (whereas typically only one or two RFAs pass per day), without impacting my contributions to the article space at all. Maybe the need for new 'crats isn't that bad, but I'm sure Rdsmith4 and the other 'crats would appreciate the extra half an hour or two with a few extra ones helping out. Just some thoughts, and best regards. Johnleemk | Talk 05:57, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Big Cleanup a success

Hey, Sarahe. I'm happy to say User Karmafist (talk) has helped Me in a big way. She helped clean up most of the "dirty sock" notes pointing to Me (including a deletion of this page). While only a few linger, I think we've made huge progress and should have them all deleted by the end of the week. After that, I'll be able to start My Wikipedia career all over again and put all of My misadventures behind Me. It's going to feel great. -- Eddie 5:11 AM, December 1, 2005 (EST)

Thanks

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for voting to support my RfA. I wasn't expecting an unopposed promotion (I thought I'd hit some die-hard edit-counters at least) and I'm touched by the trust shown in me. I'll try my best to continue to earn that trust. But first, I'll have to work on not sounding like a politician; that last sentence was awful. Oh well. Let me know when I screw something up with the shiny new buttons. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 05:53, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

RfA thanks

I would like to thank you for your support of my recent successful RfA. If you have any further comments or feedback for me, my door's open - don't hesistate to drop a note on my talk page. Happy editing! Enochlau 11:22, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Cnwb's RfA

Sarahe,

Thanks so very much for supporting my Request for Admin. The final result was 38/0/0. I'm looking forward to spending my summer holidays shut away in a darkened room, drinking G&Ts and playing with my new tools ;-) Please accept this Tim Tam as a token of my gratitude.

Hope You don't mind the Subway Car photos.

I added photos (which I took) to a few subway car articles.
Check it out: R143, R68, and R40. If their are any objections, please let Me know now. I hope it was a worthwhile edit. Eddie 03:57, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your message, Eddie. Your pictures look good. Also, I just want to add something about my delete vote. I don't really have a problem with you archiving that page in your userspace. It just seems to me that it's like it's going to be a big clunking albatross around your neck. Specially if you still intend to resurrect your RfA in the future. Sarah Ewart 05:01, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

I respect Your opinion, Sarah. However, I'm not forcing anyone to read the archived page. I think the edits I intend to do will overshadow this "Exicornt" page. As a matter of fact, no one voted on that page today. I'm happy You at least feel good about My photos. I'm going to try to get photos of My own for the other car types as well. -- Eddie 23:26, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Added another photo: R32 -- Eddie 20:51, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

My RfA

Sarah, thanks for your support on my RfA. The final count was 46/0/0. I hope I'll live up to your faith in me in my use of the mop and bucket. Please accept this wikithanks as a token of my gratitude ;) --bainer (talk) 01:00, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Pettingil family

Hello Sarah. You are indeed correct. My research on the Pettingill's is quite dated going back to the mid 90's. I've since corrected the surname in most articles I could find. Let me know if you come across any fixes required that I've missed. Oh, and thanks for the correction advice. -- Longhair 01:08, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Message from EddieSegoura

Sarahe: Well, they might not be "positive" in the sense of me simply saying 'you're wonderful--Go for it!' But (hopefully) they'll be constructive for you.
Of course I'm not expecting full endorsement from You right now, but if it's about making progress and earning Your support, I'm willing to listen.
Sarahe: remove duplication of my comment. Why do you keep doing that?
Probably happens when someone saves an edit when I'm in the middle of an edit on the same page. I'm alerted when I hit save, so I hit back on My browser, retrive My new edit, and paste it. For some reason it creates a duplicate comment. -- Eddie 04:57, 29 December 2005 (UTC) -- Eddie 04:57, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your RFA support

Hi Sarahe~enwiki/archive2! I have been on a refreshing wikibreak for the last week, so this is a belated thank-you for supporting my adminship nomination. I'm sure you've seen plenty of these, though, so simply: Happy New Year (if that's your kind of thing)! jnothman talk 18:26, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Happy New Year

ArbCom Vote

Hi Sarahe,

As per your opposition vote to my ArbCom candidacy due to the lack of questions, I've elaborated on my statement and explanation at the questions page. I welcome any further questions to be asked to clarify any of your doubts, and let me know on my talkpage if it's urgent. Thank you for your interest! :)

My behaviour

Hi Sarah,

What about my behaviour do you believe is questionable?

Regards, Ben Aveling 03:15, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Sarah,

I don't believe that putting up a quote like that is appropriate. I was insulted, and I'm sure that other people were too. I won't put you on the spot by asking you for your opinion of the quote, but I think I have the right to ask her for an apology?

Regards, Ben Aveling 04:46, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks. WikiThanks.

I would like to express my thanks to all the good people who spent their valuable time time and effort working on my (failed) RfA voting. Especially for those who actually voted to support me :). Lets move on and make together our Wikipedia an even greater place abakharev 09:55, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
