In the unlikely event that you care

I'm glad to see that you've returned in some capacity. You were always the admin I respected the most, and it was disheartening to discover you'd left after I returned from my brief vacation.

All the best,

Thanks

The Peacemakers: The Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and Its Attempt to End War cut-and-paste page move was one of my earilest mistakes when I was a relatively new user here. Thanks for fixing it. (You don't need to reply.) Hbdragon88 00:21, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

G'day Cryptic. You recently rv'd some vandalism to the Dog page to the last version by Wikiman. Unfortunately, he also is a vandal... Gordon | Talk, 19 October 2006 @12:17 UTC

York-Adams Area Council

I think it is getting sorted out. Now if I could get Camp Tuckahoe deleted so that York-Adams Area Council can be moved into its place. Thanks for your help. --evrik 09:09, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Why?

Why did you delete the article StarGateWars? I was creating it and accidently clicked save instead of preview. How was it advertising? I only play the game. Tyscorp 14:57, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Alrighty

Re: [1] Okay, thanks. I wasn't entirely sure if it qualified under the existing CSD criteria (heh, guess I found out). Thanks again. EVula 02:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

It is much appreciated. I'll let you know if he continues his antics. And enjoy your trip. :-) Nightscream 03:07, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, btw, I spoke to an administrator back in January about how to become an administrator, and he said you need 2,000 edits. How can an editor check how many edits they have? And if they have enough, what should they do to lobby for an admin position? Thanks. Nightscream 03:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

While I may not be Cryptic, I do know the answers to which you seek. I would recommend Wannabe Kate's Tool for checking your edits, as it does a good job of presenting everything (not just your edits, but your actual activity).

As for making a request to be an administrator, a 2k post count is hardly the only requirement. See Wikipedia:Requests for adminship and read up there; the various editors who hang out there all have different (rather stringent) requirements that you must pass if you want their support; basically, you just need to prove to them that you deserve to be an administrator. After a cursory glance, I think you might get shot down (that's not a personal statement about you; I'm just saying). I'd recommend you submit an Editor Review to get more in-depth feedback about what you may need to do to secure an administrator position. EVula 03:41, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm really not the best person to ask; I've recently returned from a six-month-long wikibreak, and WP:RFA's standards are notoriously inflationary. —Cryptic 04:17, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

My apologies. However I believe Nightscream has lied and misrepresented the situation with me. He unfairly and unjustly attacked and provoked me due to differences in our POV over many things. He misused and abused his power and authority as a moderator to ban me and since the site administrator does not care about the site he just took nightscream's side to try and avoid conflict as Luigi would be the one throwing the snit fit if he didn't get his way. I tried to reasonably talk to him about this but he pretends that I do not exist which is just continuing the insult and degredation that I received from him and the administrators of nitcentral. I have tried to be polite and civil about but that didn't work and I have gotten mad and been uncivil with him yes, but it is all a direct result of his provocation of me. I am sorry that his arrogance and jerky behavior has caused an issue here and will not pursue it further here unless he attacks or otherwise attempts the same behavior against me here that he did on nitcentral.Rwetruck 17:00, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Don Bosco Technical Institute

You didn't actually revert the speedy to the redirect. Which is okay, because I was going to move the page back to where it was before it was moved without any consultation or prior notice. --evrik 11:00, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Hrm. Looked ok to me. In any case, I've deleted the revisions except for the initial redirect; you can move pages over them if there's only one revision and it's a redirect to the title you're moving from. —Cryptic 11:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I thought fair use images were only to be used in the Article space and only if alternatives are not available for whatever reason (the trademark/copyright protections of logos being one of them). Therefore I would think that this should be deleted since it is only used on a userpage. --Trödel 19:48, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

They need to be unused for seven days. See WP:CSD#I5. —Cryptic 20:14, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Thx for info and link :) --Trödel 20:58, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Waiting to Inhale

I saw you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Waiting to Inhale. Would you mind taking care of the redirect Waiting to inhale, too? Cheers! -AED 19:52, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
