At this point, I'm not sure if your RFA is going to pass (if it does it will be close). You've taken a lot of flack in it. It's unbelievable that the RFA process become a way for elitist users to gang up on editors and pick them apart. Some of the opposes are clearly based on rules those users made up - I mean, you can't respond to opposition. Um... Okay. But my point is, don't let any of this discourage you. You're still a great editor and I hope you don't let the elitists get to you. -- [[User:Scorpion0422|<font color="#FF8C00">Scorpion</font>]]<sup>[[user talk:Scorpion0422|<font color="black">0422</font>]]</sup> 18:10, 16 January 2011 (UTC) |

:Thank you. I'm hoping the closing bureaucrat will disregard some of the opposes. Otherwise I'll probably remove the userbox, and try again in a few months. <font face="Kristen ITC">[[User:Ctjf83|<font color="#ff0000">C</font><font color="#ff6600">T</font><font color="#ffff00">J</font><font color="#009900">F</font><font color="#0000ff">8</font><font color="#6600cc">3</font>]] [[User Talk:Ctjf83|chat]]</font> 21:29, 16 January 2011 (UTC) |

Stalker on Mel Odom (artist) talk page
Can you help us? Mary Cross doesnt like any edits that involve fashion doll called Mdvanii who has been an obvious inspiration for Mel Odom (artist) and Gene Marshall. He/she is also reverting any edits and doing unwanted edits regarding this issue on pages Mel Odom (artist), Gene Marshall and Mdvanii. After he/she was banned from reverting the edits she started endless chat on Mel Odom (artist) talk page clinging on to the 1990 NYT articles obvious mistake which has nothing to contribute to Mel Odom's notability. We have brought out all the evidence but the user is ignoring it all. Muotinukke (talk) 18:56, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
- I'm sorry...how exactly would you like me to assist you? Trying to get Mary Cross to stop? Weigh in on the conversation? Other? CTJF83 chat 18:59, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Please stop Mary Cross...he/she is obviously sabotaging the articles, trying to insist on a clear mistake made by the NYTs which has long been dealt with and the reality (Lala designed and crrated all Mdvanii makeups since the beginning) confirmed endlessly over the 22 years of Mdvaniis existance. It is clearly noted in museum catalogues (for which we have put the most recent), many articles including L'Hebdo which is like the Time magazine of Switzerland and there has never ever been mention of it in any official press releases, catalogues etc....the artists BB* & Lsala ALWAYS repeat over and over any artists involvements, such as Gruau, Alexandre de Paris, Cylde Smith etc....Odom was mentioned once and only once, by error in the NYTs in 1990 more than a year after Mdvanii was launched....all of her original catalogues, all the FAO Schwarz and Liberty of London catalogues and press releases plus the big show in Canada Grand Tra La la, none of them mention him, even the third party opinion agreed.....MAry Cross is just sabotaging the advancement of the articles.....and trying to turn a factoid (as inthe Norman Mailer definition) into history.....it was an error and recognized as such,...even by Odom himself as he said he was disappointed the make up was never used ..... Please stop or block Mary Cross or do whatever is appropriate please. Thank you. Alec jiri (talk) 19:44, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
- I suspect he is doing it only for the purpose of stalking or challenging anything related to Mdvanii on these pages. And the endless discussion on the Mel Odom page over the tiny detail ,suprisingly, involves Mdvanii. He doesnt seem to care about Odom. I would welcome any administrative input from you to stop him/her doing all this. If you can weight in conversation, I welcome that too.. many thanks!! Muotinukke (talk) 19:51, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
- Well I'm not an admin, so I can't block the user. The best I can do for you (you can also do it) is warn the user for their disruption. Either a vandalism warning, or a 3RR warning, as the situation deems necessary. I will watch the pages in question, and the user's edits, so that I may help in the warning process. Sorry I can't be of more help. CTJF83 chat 20:25, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

HI........
I believe someone removed the MAIN aspect of what the Mdvanii artwork is albout ...
1)gay issues as a precedent in a doll/artwork
2) use of real haute couture....
THESE are two distinctively important points opf the article...to take them out removes the whole sense of what mdvanii is and was...the FIRST DOLL MADE AS AN ARTWORK WHO HAS A GAY ROLE MODEL LIFE WITHOUT PARODY OF GAY OR LGBT LIFESTYLES.....soory about caps,...they were on,....I am not shouting....
How can it be put back in?
.
this phrase is essential I think to express in brief the main aspect of what the work is about and known for in Paris, France. She was made in a matt Caron make-up toned hard resin and 25 centimeters tall. She was the first anatomically-correct fashion doll with an adult (non-parody) storyline including homosexual, lesbian and bisexual personality traits. She was presented with a wardrobe of high fashion clothes made in France with identical construction as human-scale clothes Shall I put it elsewhere?
ALSO, someone keeps taking out citations......and putting the abbreviated in for a b c dBold text etc but doing it incorrectly and making red citation error warnings...
It is for Isabelle Falconnier, which is cited about 6 times,...but when you add the citation link it does not make a b c d etc....it makes it appear several times, whom ever is trying to correct it is not checking and it is leaving big red error warnings.

- Can you please provide some WP:Diffs so I may better assist/advise you? CTJF83 chat 23:19, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Semi-protected
I semi-protected your talk page for three days due to the recent spate of vandalism from multiple accounts, apparently sockpuppets of each other. Confirmed users can still talk to you but new accounts and anonymous users will be blocked. If you'd prefer it to be unprotected, please let me know and I'll lift it again. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:07, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you...no, that's cool, I work 60 hours this week, so can't revert it on my own that much :) CTJF83 chat 00:56, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
Boo
Did I scare you? Dusti*poke* 20:22, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
Note
I just happoened to pop in after all the vandalism by sockpuppets; sorry you had to go through that mate. My userpage was vandalized before as well when someone disagreed with something I said; I was online at the time and got the new message alert, but I didn't know it was vandalism until I checked the history after seeing nothing new; I then noticed it got reverted before I even got to the page. The guy kept trying to vandalize elsewhere as well as more attempts at my talk page, but the IP was eventually blocked. =D
That aside, on to why I'm posting. If it's not already completed (doing it as a courtesy if I can figure out which page it is), I'm recommending an edit to the header of your talk page. You say, "I WON'T be silenced now mater how much you harass me!!" - I believe you meant to say "no matter" and am fixing that. If I am in fact mistaken, go ahead and change it back, but it doesn't make sense how it is as I type. =) CycloneGU (talk) 01:10, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
- Harassment in general - no kidding. I was always the loner in school, no one wanted to involve me in anything. I started going to a different school in fourth grade and never really did fit in, and was always the one found walking around alone; I came to hate recess and didn't even want to go outside. In high school, there were specific bullies who always wanted to make sure I knew what they thought of me; one even referred to me as being in a "gay bubble" (I am not gay BTW, bullies would try to convince me otherwise). By the time I finished high school, I had no real friends moving on in my life and even today still have very few true friends. I know some good people online, but in my life, I have one real friend and am a single loner who is trying to be friendly with people, but that has its own challenges when people don't want to be friendly back.
- As for spelling and grammar, in general, both were always strong points for me. *LOL* CycloneGU (talk) 01:23, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
- I hear ya there...I switched schools in 7th grade, and that's when my not fitting in started. I can relate to all the other stuff you said too, and that was even when I was "straight" (LOL). I only have a few friends too (hence why I have no life and am on Wikipedia way too much!). I always figure people like us end up stronger in the end! CTJF83 chat 01:27, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
Did you say....
This Wednesday or next Wednesday? I've been watching all day. Dusti*poke* 23:07, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I didn't see your request a couple of weeks ago. This may be too late for whatever you were doing but I looked over the article anyway, which I like overall, and found the following:
Introductory Section:
“and Palmer College of Chiropractic, which is where the first chiropractic adjustment took place.” Actually, it took place in a building downtown that no longer exists. The college opened later.
“two major United States Highways”, should be three US highways (You list all three later on.)
Bix Beiderbecke is linked every time his name is mentioned, not only here but throughout the article.
History: I always thought LeClaire’s wife received land that is now Moline and LeClaire himself received the land on the Iowa side of the river.
Landmarks: The Freight House, I believe, is no longer an entertainment complex.
Events and Festivals: In reference to the Bix Fest: “2009 was the 39th consecutive festival.” This seems unimportant, especially because the 40th was held in 2010.
Sports and recreation: Wharton Field House is in Moline. The place at Marycrest was called “Above the Baseline” at one time. I have no idea if it’s still open. Regardless the River Hawks no longer play there, if they even exist anyomre.
Media: I would add: KGCW (The CW), their studio is in Davenport; WBQD My Network TV, they're registered as being located in Davenport, even though I don’t think anything is; KQIN (PBS) Davenport, WQPT (PBS), Moline. I don’t hope to understand KQIN, but it’s listed as being in Davenport.
Government: Now that the Iowa legislature is in session this section needs to be updated and the former members should be removed and the new members listed as such.
Education: Add Eastern Iowa Community College District, which is headquartered in Davenport and includes the Kahl Education Center.
Transportation: “The Quad City International Airport across the river in Moline, Illinois, is the closest commercial airport.” While accurate this wording makes it sound like it’s some distance away.
Okay, a couple of these might be a little picky, or off the mark, so you can do as you wish. Again, I apologize for not paying closer attention. Farragutful (talk) 23:18, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
- It's no problem! This FA won't pass, but I'll have your, plus other suggestions to improve for the next FA...thanks for the review! :) CTJF83 chat 23:23, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
I double checked that and I can even though the material comes from a wiki which is similar to Wikipedia, the page states (at the bottom) "© 2011 Last.fm Ltd. All rights reserved." Even if last.fm it were free, the material seems to have been copied there as well, from http://rockislandcrew.com/32oz.html so I reinstated the tag. Travelbird (talk) 06:07, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

I've changed my !vote to support. I hope the rest of your RfA goes well. The UtahraptorTalk/Contribs 01:14, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

- LMFAO, shocker, huh? CTJF83 chat 21:09, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
- Just so we're clear on this: I will maintain my support for your RFA, but don't come asking to use me as a reference if you get religion and decide to become a Catholic priest. HuskyHuskie (talk) 21:28, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
Good answer
Nice answer to my question. Personally, I would have told "ANewCrusade" to take his complaint with the content to Talk:Gay pride (since to me this appears more like a poorly-executed content dispute). I will maintain my support for you, and, when you are an admin, remember to answer such an editor with a cool head as you answered my question this RfA. I still strongly dislike your userbox, but I am convinced enough that you will not abuse the tools. Good luck! Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:24, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Deletion review for Ryan A. Conklin
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Ryan A. Conklin. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 00:10, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
A thought . . .
I don't remember (nor does it matter) which oppose voter it was who stated you should avoid responding to every criticism, and instead let others reply for you, but you know what? I think that makes sense. It can be argued whether or not it makes you look less mature to respond to every point, but, on the other hand, I think it's above argument that you come across better when others defend you, instead of doing it yourself. It shows you have support (and clearly, you do). If someone asks you a direct question, fine, reply, but I would suggest allowing the majority who support you to do your work for you. HuskyHuskie (talk) 03:10, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
- It makes sense like you said, if other's defend me. There are no guidelines on whether you are suppose to respond to every oppose or not. This implies I'm suppose to respond cause it is my RfA. I think I will stop on responding to all the opposes due to my userbox, and probably most of the rest. Thanks, CTJF83 chat 03:14, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
- Interesting post by Boing there. Well, I've pretty much got zero experience at RfA; my impression is that it's dominated by a bunch of failed candidates, but I could be wrong. I didn't base my comment on experience, just on the fact that what that one person said made sense to me. But I could easily be wrong. HuskyHuskie (talk) 04:12, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
At this point, I'm not sure if your RFA is going to pass (if it does it will be close). You've taken a lot of flack in it. It's unbelievable that the RFA process become a way for elitist users to gang up on editors and pick them apart. Some of the opposes are clearly based on rules those users made up - I mean, you can't respond to opposition. Um... Okay. But my point is, don't let any of this discourage you. You're still a great editor and I hope you don't let the elitists get to you. -- Scorpion0422 18:10, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
