Where I reply depends mostly on how I'm feeling. Sorry, but I'm inconsistent. So it would probably be wise to check back here if I don't respond on your talk page. Obviously I'll reply somewhere specific if you ask. Links | Monobook js | Questions | Pictures | Signpost | Sandbox | Stars | Userboxen/About

Admin Coaching

Hi Soleil,

I noticed that you were looking for an admin coach? I've taken a look at some of your work, and think you might be qualified to be an admin---and thus would be happy to be your coach if you are interested? (BTW, respond here, I hate jumping between pages to figure out what is going on.)Balloonman 04:07, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I would be extremely grateful! And on my birthday too! Thanks. I (talk) 04:10, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

The first step is to create a coaching page User:Soleil/Admin coaching. Once you do that we can go ahead and get started!Balloonman 04:23, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Done. I (talk) 04:27, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Also, you might want to update your status. I would, but I don't know how you would like it done since you also have someone else there. I (talk) 07:42, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

user name change

Hi. I just saw you posting with your new account and signing with the old "I" — this is confusing and I'm not sure what to suggest. I expect that the name "I" was too confusing and hence the change. Best, Jack Merridew 06:17, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, it was changed to Soleil. I don't really want this name, so I keep the "I" signature until I decide, so I don't get associated with Soleil. But it's been a while since the change, and I really should decide one way or the other, and do it. I (talk) 06:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Reply

Thank you Soleil for your support, but I would advise you not to attempt to provoke other users with derogatory comments. That is against Wiki policy.--Just James ^T/C 01:09, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

On another note, a lot of users find it funny, which includes a number of administrators. As I said, some people find it amusing and others find it annoying. My advise would be to get over it.--Just James ^T/C 01:11, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I was not provoking you. If I wanted to do that, I would remove the notice myself. I intend to "get over it", as you clearly have no intention of changing your mind, and further discussion has no benefit to anyone. Soleil (talk) 01:19, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

RFA

Hey I (I'm refering to you), I (me, not you) noticed you're going up for admin coaching. Personally, I think it's a good idea and I think you've got what it needs. I considered a while back about asking you if you would accept a nomination, but I guess now I should wait for a while longer though. On a side note, I never realized you were 17 (found out in your admin coaching page)! I never knew you were that much older than me! Anyway good luck in your coaching, I'll be ready to vote durring your RFA ;-)--Sunny910910 ^{(talk|Contributions)} 01:28, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Why thank you. It means a lot :) Soleil (talk) 01:32, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

No problem! Oh, and be sure to tell me when your ready to go to RFA, I'll nom or co-nom you.--Sunny910910 ^{(talk|Contributions)} 01:58, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Renames

Re: [1]. Given that I think Nichalp jumped the gun on renaming you, I want to make it clear that I am totally willing to rename you back to User:I or to any other available name you decide you'd rather edit under. WjBscribe 02:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much. And good thing it's you, since you practically pounce on renames, so I wouldn't have to wait long :) I (talk) 02:36, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

RfA Nomination

Finish the DYK excercises first then accept this and add to the RfA page! Make sure to edit/modify your basic answers as discussed.Balloonman (talk) 06:16, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

PS I might not be around much over the next couple of days... see my main page for the reason why... but good luck!Balloonman (talk) 06:20, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey Soleil, I should have asked you if you were ready before posting this nom. Let me know when you are ready, and I'll update the template. This was a mistake of MY being an new admin coach. I think you're more than ready for Admin.Balloonman (talk) 21:08, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

If it's okay, I would like to co-nom Soleil.--Sunny910910 ^{(talk|Contributions)} 01:42, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Fine by me, I don't think Balloonman will have a problem. It might be a while before I transclude it, however. I (talk) 01:45, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I have no problem (in fact, you are under no obligation to have me as a nominator, but that is generally why people go thru admin coaching.) Just let us know when you are ready for it.Balloonman (talk) 02:25, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay. I'll add my co-nom, as this is my first nomination, tell me if I do anything wrong.--Sunny910910 ^{(talk|Contributions)} 03:28, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I've decided to wait until tommorow to added my co-nom. It's almost time to sleep where I am, and I can't write anything when I'm drowsy. I hope you guys don't mind the delay.--Sunny910910 ^{(talk|Contributions)} 03:34, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Take as much time as you need; like I said it could be a while before I transclude it, and since I know you want to add a co-nom, I'll be sure it's on there before I do. I (talk) 03:53, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I'll be going to sleep now, so this will be the last reply for today. Goodnight.--Sunny910910 ^{(talk|Contributions)} 04:55, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, sure. I don't mind at all.--Sunny910910 ^{(talk|Contributions)} 00:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey Soleil. I've added my co-nom to your nomination page. Aside from some typos and maybe some missed points, I pretty much ready for you to transclude it. Just so you know.--Sunny910910 ^{(talk|Contributions)} 04:59, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

RE:Happy Birthday

You're born in December too? What a coincidence, well I hope you had a fun birthday. What was the date anyway?--Sunny910910 ^{(talk|Contributions)} 23:54, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, i've never gone there before, and i don't even know which vote is for what action. It says "support" or "oppose"...oppose what? oppose banning him? RingtailedFox 00:22, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Thankies for the link! as for my signature...check out my user page for past ones. this one's tame compared to the ones i've had in the past :). However, yes, i'll see how i can trim it down further, mmkay? RingtailedFox 00:37, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

harassment

User:Jack Merridew and User:ANOMALY-117 have been harassing me on my talk page,. what should i do about that? as well, i have DOZENS of users begging or telling me to change my signature. i'm assuming their the same user typing through different accounts. RingtailedFox 17:36, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

na the sig is fine oh and i'm really sorry i havn't been myself the past couple of days.. yea um again im sorry i erased the messeages. ANOMALY-117 (talk) 03:50, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

You have dozens of users suggesting you change your signature? Get a clue and change it. --Jack Merridew 07:23, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Why on earth should i bother changing it just because of a few other whiners? Here. if you change you signature, jack..i'll change mine. RingtailedFox 12:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

You should read Wikipedia:Signatures where it says:

When customizing your signature, please keep the following in mind: A distracting, confusing or otherwise unsuitable signature may adversely affect other users. Some editors find it disruptive to discourse on talk pages, or when working in the edit window. Very long signatures that contain a lot of code ("markup") make it difficult for some editors to read talk pages while editing.

You've said before that I should change my sig, but you've not said in what way. Do tell. --Jack Merridew 13:08, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. perhaps you should change yours to be less boring. make the letters the colour blue, for example. as well, all the admins i've talked with in the past have said my current signature meets all their requirements, and are not difficult to read or confusing. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 18:31, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

We cannot make you change your signature. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't. If several users are asking you to change your signature, then you probably should. But ultimately it's up to you, but we still retain the right to modify your signature, as I have. I (talk) 23:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

HOW IS RINGTAILEDFOX MORE DISTRACTING THEN JACK MERRIDEW? if any thing jack your signature is more distracting considering you are causing a problem and activly drawing attention to Ring's signature. maybe you should look up distracting because ring's isn't distracting to me yet yours is because your name is assocciated with harrassment. so leave him alone. i mean seriously you must have a vendetta or something because you always show up were Ring is. i'm only here because, i protect people that are being prosacuted. because i'm ANOMALY-117 (talk) 23:15, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

and i know what being picked on is like and IT'S NOT FUNNY!! TO ME OR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WITTNISING IT OR TO THE PERSON WHO IS BEING HARASSED!!!!!ANOMALY-117 (talk) 23:15, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Please don't use bold unless it is neccesary. As for the signature, if I scroll down a page, and there are huge blobs of dark color scattered about that are the main things I see, then it is distracting and obnoxious. Ringtail's signature is, Jack's is not. You might dislike him, but his siganture is fine. I (talk) 23:23, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

do you have nothing to do but gripe about somebody's user name where you live? or are just out of extract of creative agian? ANOMALY-117 (talk) 23:38, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

If you do not have anything worthwhile to contribute to this discussion, I ask that you leave my talk page. Otherwise, please comment constructively. I (talk) 23:40, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

um im not try to be smart or anything but can you comment constructivly in a case of harassment over a signature that a person does not want to change or does not want to be hounded by it but be left in peace? how can you not defend Ring?ANOMALY-117 (talk) 01:39, 15 December 2007 (UTC) ps ill leave but i'll still be watching...

Hogwarts students

Hi, there were some discussions in here and in here regarding Notability issues and the merging of individual articles and/or articles about groups of minor characters. The Hogwarts students article features the Minor Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws and Slytherins all in one page. Lord Opeth (talk) 05:11, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Hm. Okay then. I suppose I like that better. I (talk) 05:17, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Revision history of Wikipedia:Television article review process

It should either be marked as an essay or as a rejected proposal. Historical is for processes which were once approved but are no longer in use. I marked this as rejected some time back, but some users feel that it has value and I won't contest that belief. I think that this is a good case for marking as an essay. If you feel strongly that it is not an essay, then we should tag it as rejected. --Kevin Murray (talk) 22:31, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

The historical tag is poorly written and does not reflect the description of historical at the policy and guideline page. It has been used as a euphemistic but misleading substitute for rejected in the past. If you want to tag this as rejected, I won't object unless it becomes a tussle with other editors, then I'll support the essay tag. Cheers! --Kevin Murray (talk) 22:43, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I just noticed the rejected tag on this and feel it is unwarranted and am tempted to remove it. But I'll talk, first. I personally have not been doing much with this since the Oh My Goddess cat-fight. It was tiring. I don't feel that rejection by a few specific editors constitutes rejection by the community. Was there some discussion I don't know about? I would much rather see this process refined based on the various discussion occurring on the ArbCom case pages. They're basically saying go hash something out. Why not there? --Jack Merridew 08:17, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
