Yes, I would accept a nomination. Rette tast 22:07, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm writing the nomination. Any strength point that you have? FAs? Snowolf ^(talk) _CON ^COI - 22:27, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No FAs. just general clean up and vandalism fighting. Rette tast 22:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adminship

Congratulations, you are now an administrator - with pretty much unanimous support! If you haven't already, now is the time look through the Wikipedia:Administrators' how-to guide and Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, or at the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. Warofdreams talk 01:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

HELLO!!!!

JUST BECAUSE I CREATE AN ARTICLE ABOUT MYSELF DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CAN DELETE IT!!!!! I THINK THAT YOU ARE SO STUPID THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH!!!!

MHAJARNIS

Which article are you referring to? Rette tast 21:05, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I found out. It was Mohit. You have to agree that the article wasn't very encyclopedic? And please don't write in caps. Rette tast 21:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Your vote on my RFA is placed in "Oppose" section. However, your edit summary shows "Support". I was just puzzled. Can you clarify it? Thanks a lot! Aquarius  talk 21:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. Off course I meant too support. Rette tast 21:32, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion summaries

Hi - thanks for the feedback. What should the edit summary for nonsense articles like this be set to? Appreciate your help, --Oscarthecat 11:11, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info, will be sure to use that approach now. --Oscarthecat 11:31, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Thank you for participating in my RFA, which passed with 53-1-0. I will put myself into the various tasks of a administrator immediately, and if I make any mistakes, feel free to shout at me or smack me in my head. Aquarius  talk 17:37, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I got it at the second attempt didn't I:-) Rette tast 17:39, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rettetast, thanks for your support in my RfA, which passed unopposed. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. --Seattle Skier (talk) 20:26, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request deletion

Thanks you for deleting some of my old user subpages. Previously I was User:Joshua Chiew; I change my name to User:Joshua and I would like to delete my old monobook.js (which is now a redirect to my current monobook.js). Since I cannot edit the monobook.js file, I left a note on the talk page but you only deleted the talk page. Could you help me to delete User:Joshua Chiew/monobook.js? Thanks. --Joshua ^{Say "hi" to me!}_{What have I done?} 10:29, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Rette tast 12:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of EditPad

An article that you have been involved in editing, EditPad, has been listed by me for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/EditPad. Thank you. Vacuum Cleaner 01 21:34, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Latin American subaltern studies

Hi. I note that you deleted Latin American subaltern studies even though I'd put a "hangon" tag on it, immediately following a speedy delete. You did this with no apparent investigation. I'd put the tag there while I created and edited a replacement article. I feel the way you went about things was over-hasty and hardly impressive. You might have looked into why someone might put a tag asking people to, precisely, "hang on." --Jbmurray 19:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The only content of the article when I deleted it was {{hangon}}. It had already bin deleted when you recreated it with only the hangon template. And for the record. If an article meets the criteria for speedy deletion the article can be deleted at once even if there is a hangon template on it. Rette tast 19:46, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See User talk:Jbmurray. Thanks for responding. --Jbmurray 20:12, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Carioca RFA

Thanks for your support on my request for adminship.

The final outcome was (31/4/1), so I am now an administrator. If you have any comments or concerns on my actions as an administrator, please let me know. Thank you! --Carioca 20:23, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Beerwolf

I was about to Db the above. In taking a look around, it appears that you did just that and it was replaced. This is a heads up if you are interested. --Stormbay 21:06, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apt-x

You have just delete a page i have just creat. Can you tell me why? rht

It was blatant advertising for the product. Such pages are deleted on sight. Try to write a balanced article. Rette tast 10:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
