== Request for participation in [[User:Abd/RfC]] ==
Because my participation as a Wikipedia editor has been questioned, and if I continue as I have in the past, I can expect future challenges as well, I have begun a standing RfC in my user space, at [[User:Abd/RfC]]. There is also a specific incident RfC at [[User:Abd/RfC/8.11.08 block]]. I understand that you may not have time to participate directly; however, if you wish to be notified of any outcome from the general or specific RfC, or if you wish to identify a participant or potential participant as one generally trusted by you, or otherwise to indicate interest in the topic(s), please consider listing yourself at [[User:Abd/RfC/Proxy Table]], and, should you so decide, naming a proxy as indicated there. Your designation of a proxy will not bind you, and your proxy will not comment or vote for you, but only for himself or herself; however, I may consider proxy designations in weighing comment in this RfC, as to how they might represent the general community. You may revoke this designation at any time. This RfC is for my own guidance as to future behavior and actions, it is advisory only, upon me and on participants. This notice is going to all those who commented on my Talk page in the period between my warning for personal attack, assumptions of bad faith, and general disruption, on August 11, 2008, until August 20, 2008. This is not a standard RfC; because it is for my advice, I assert authority over the process. However, initially, all editors are welcome, even if otherwise banned from my Talk space or from the project. Canvassing is permitted, as far as I'm concerned; I will regulate participation if needed, but do not spam. Notice of this RfC may be placed on noticeboards or wikiprojects, should any of you think this appropriate; however, the reason for doing this in my user space is to minimize disruption, and I am not responsible for any disruption arising from discussion of this outside my user space. Thanks for considering this. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 02:51, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

RfA Juggernaut0102
Help me - how can i improve other than the comments you have explained? The 100 or so proper edits i have done are little only because i'm in high school but can't have enough time to do stuff on WP. I'm trying my hardest to use the time i've got to make contribs to WP. Any other suggestions for RfA in the distant... future? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Juggernaut0102 (talk • contribs) 09:25, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have spent a lot of hours on that image of Glenn Strange to have it taken away. I put on so many reasons why it should be posted on Wikipedia. I had the correct template as well. Can you help?

4chan
As you probably know, 4chan is blatant nonsense, thusly the tag was thoroughly deserved, I am no vandal.
You can send me mail with your answer to this. Preceding [[ Ixius (talk • contribs) 20:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, I do not think it is nonsense, it is nonsense, I am a member of 4chan and I know for a fact that the imageboards there are completely nonsensical and honestly it doesn't deserve to exist, but it does, and thats that.
I didn't think that was the tag for speedy deletion, I merely thought it would add a banner saying something like 'This Article is nonsense, viewer desecration is advised'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ixius (talk • contribs) 20:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help on this?
Hello. I tired again on the Glenn Strange tags. I don't know if I put the correct one on.
If you can I would appreciate the help. I put in a lot of time trying this week.
Ah woops, thanks. I didn't think to check the block log (was just going by the talk page). You can see I'm not 100% sure of everything :) --Tombomp (talk) 20:30, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ron Paul article
Hi Tombomp,
You addressed me on the Ron Paul talk page yesterday. You should see what has happened since. The Ron Paul newsletter section has been completely eviscerated. I would like to protect the integrity of this article, but cannot do it alone. -asx- (talk) 00:50, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 15:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Steam loco - cylinders
Removing your recent addition was probably a wise move. The 'fact' tag added by me was not really appropriate (even though the edit was not supported by references) but I didn't have time to find the one that says 'are you sure about this?', as there was more than a hint of Original Research about it. I apologise for the terse edit summary.
You have uncovered a very interesting point. Why did a loco designer chose inside vs outside cylinders? Maintenance is an obvious reason, but why, then, were so many shunting/branch line locos designed with inside cylinders? Even as late as the GWR 94XX and the Austerity tank, the Q1, etc -- if inside cylinders were so 'bad' (as you hinted at), why were these modern designs so fitted? Larger locos, with 3 or 4 cylinders had both inside and outside cylinders -- how did your comments relate to these? Was this a purely British phenomenon? (perhaps due to the restricted loading gauge?). Were all 'foreign' locos designed with outside cylinders? Etc, etc
Your edit really started me thinking (as you can see). Perhaps you can now see why my edit summary was 'terse' -- I couldn't work out how to fit all the above in.
As I said, this is an interesting point, and one which should be discussed in the article, once some appropriate sources have been found. I look forward to reading your findings... :o)
PS - having thought a little more about this, I suspect that the choice of cylinder location was dictated by the type of valve gear used. That could well be your starting point...
I checked the book I was getting it from (How Steam Locomotives Really Work by P.W.B. Semmens and A.J. Goldfinch - i realise it's not all that amazing000 and it seems the two inside cylinder arrangement was pretty much exclusive to locomotives using Stephenson's valve gear - although it's certainly possible that other valve gears were sometimes used, it seems Stephenson's valve gear was especially compact and simple enough that it was easiest to use. It apparently also conformed to the Victorian ideal of having no moving parts on show. The cylinder diamater was apparently limited to about 20in on a standard gauge railway. The problem of maintenance got worse as boiler sizes increased as there was no space to fit underneath it. The following is mostly speculation: I believe its simplicity would have made it attractive for later locomotives; although I can't be sure, I think it had a lower weight than other valve gears. I've also seen mention that inside cylinders were considered to give a smoother ride. I'm not really sure on the details of this stuff and I may very well be wrong about some of this but that's all I've seen about it right now. --Tombomp (talk) 19:27, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Topic in Africa template
Hello! I'm really sorry if I'm blaming you for something you haven't done but I have a feeling your recent edits to Template:Africa topic have broken it regarding the second paramater - it appears at the end of every single link now. I don't really understand how template code works and I wouldn't want to revert your changes just at a guess. You can see the problem on pretty much any of the African politics pages and maybe other things to. Again, sorry if I'm completely wrong! --Tombomp (talk) 20:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for pointing out the problem. It turned out not to be the template. On each of those articles, the transclusion call included an extraneous/unused/erroneous parameter that became activated when I added code to process a 2nd parameter to the template. I'm in the process of correcting the transclusion calls on the articles now (by removing the parameter). Should be done in 10 minutes. Again, thank you for the heads up! The Transhumanist 21:43, 8 May 2008 (UTC) Done 21:51, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What the template does now that it didn't do before is allow a "suffix" (with space or without) to be added to each article name. Here's an example. Be sure to click on the countries - they have both a template-based prefix and suffix portion added to the country name. To replace the title of the template, I've used the template's "title=" syntax to set the title parameter, which the erroneous parameter mentioned above was missing. The Transhumanist 22:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is now the second time in 15 minutes that you've issued me with a spurious "vandalism" warning (the first was here). I appreciate that you've now reverted them, but repeatedly seeing "new message" banners thanks to your abuse of automated tools is beginning to be disruptive and irritating. Wikipedia is not a race; if you continue to use Huggle to make edits without checking them, I will remove your Huggle access. — iridescent 18:25, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know. I'm really sorry, I was trying to revert some vandalism on another page both times but it updated with your revert pretty much exactly at the time I clicked the button. I'm being a bit more careful now. Sorry again for the stupid edits and if you feel that you need to remove my Huggle access feel free. --Tombomp (talk) 18:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No problem - although I sometimes threaten it, I've only ever actually removed Huggle access once, it really is a last resort... — iridescent 18:38, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion critera
Thanks for that, having been an rc patroller from many moons ago (2006) I'm still re-learning the finer points of how subtle speedy deletion criteria, warning templates etc have changed, in future I will just stick to the first tag. (Was going to self rv but was beaten whlst writing out the edit summary lol) Benon (talk) 18:29, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A tag has been placed on Albert Ramos (rapper) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Ged UK (talk) 19:40, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy deletion of "James T. Bland"
A page you created, James T. Bland, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it serves only to attack some entity. Please do not continue to create attack pages, as you will be blocked from editing.
Hello, I would just like to apologise for my son's changes to the article based on Morda as some of it was sheer nonsense. I would like to say however, that a lot of it was true, including the claims of a popular children's toy being invented in Morda. The journeys of "Anf Butler OBE" are well documented and should therefore be allowed to remain on the article. Just because you see something as nonesense does not necessarily mean that it is. Would you like some scans of the journal that Anf Butler wrote and of the letter in the Guardian based on the claim that Sticklebricks are from Morda or are they too unbelievable for you?

The latest addition, that the place is named after the River Morda, what proof of evidence do you have for that being real then if mine are seemingly unnaceptable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.104.181.11 (talk) 19:23, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't. It does at least sound vaguely plausible and doesn't contradict information already on Wikipedia and that that I can google up. Maybe it's some horribly insiduous vandalism but I don't really know. I don't have the resources to look it up, sadly. If you think it's wrong, you can always remove it. --Tombomp (talk) 19:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy deletion of "Crap England"
A page you created, Crap England, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it serves only to attack some entity. Please do not continue to create attack pages, as you will be blocked from editing.
Hmm, so you did. I assume that other speedy deletion notice above these two is unrelated? -- Gurch (talk) 00:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
Rollback can only be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback may be removed at any time.
If you do not want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 21:20, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your advice, I forgot the codes for a smaller heading; just the help I needed :P.
The larger headings were a bit abused on that page! lol The sections aren't big and the titles are strangely-named...
I think we need to emphasize more on the private life and the "Myth" encircling around Francis Burdett and his early wife Sophia.
(Rumour has it that Francis chopped her arm off after discovering her cheating on him; with his best friend; which is why he re-married. I used to go to school at Foremarke and it's almost a recongized fact there; sadly I can't find any published work that describe it...)
I noticed your edits to the Francis Burdett article. You might want to read Wikipedia:Headings#Section_headings]]; you can make smaller headings by using larger numbers of =s, which is preferable to making headings manually using the formatting tools. Hope this helps! Sorry if you already know or something, not meaning to be patronising. --Tombomp (talk/contribs) 19:39, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
lol Yeh he was an interesting figure, the source of mysterious poltergeist, ghost sighting and continous rumour at my school- Formarke Hall. Apparently they never retrieved the arm of "Lady Burdett"; who died shortly atfter being "de-arm-icated" or "disarmed" *PUN intended" lol.
P.S.do you apply to be a patrol; or how do you become one?
Thanks for your support in my RFA, which passed with 140 supporting, 11 opposing, and 4 neutral. I will do my best to live up to the trust that you have given to me. If I can ever assist you with anything, just ask.

Thanks to everyone who participated in my RfA, regardless of their !vote. I have withdrawn the nomination as a failure at 19 supports, 45 opposes, and 9 neutral statements.
As has been written and sung, you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need — and what I need is to go back to working on our shared project. Not everyone has to be an admin; there is a role for each of us. After reflection, I feel I don't have the temperament to secure community consensus as an admin at any point, and I will not be applying again in the future — and hey, that's all right, 'cause I stay true to the philosophy that adminship is no big deal: I tried, I failed, and now I'll return to doing what I've always done. I have an extremely strong belief in the consensus process, and the consensus was clear. I will be devoting my energies to volunteering at MedCab and working up a complete series of articles on the short stories of Ernest Hemingway, among lord knows what else.

Your comments at WP:AN
Hi. I would ask you to modify your comments made to the Jeffpw discussion at the above venue. I feel that you are able to indicate your feelings without recourse to such language, and I think you will also realise it is a time for all to moderate our language. Thanks. LessHeard vanU (talk) 19:43, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that my language was over the top. I apologise. I didn't edit it because it got removed a minute later - I'd added my comment after it was archived, when it wasn't before I started, without being edit conflicted. If I'd noticed, I wouldn't have added it. I just found the thread pretty horrible in general and I still think David Shankbone's comments were incredibly spiteful, especially in such a public venue. Tombomp (talk/contribs) 19:50, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Tom, there is a long history between Sandy and I that you aren't aware of, and Sandy said some pretty horrible things about what was a heartfelt memorial of someone who had been a good friend, but with whom I had a falling out but expected to be friends with again. My ire with Sandy is more than justified, though I understand you aren't aware of the years-long grudge we have had, primarily on her end. --David Shankbone 19:59, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I just think it's not really appropriate to have this sort of thing in such an incredibly public venue as AN, over such a sad event. Tombomp (talk/contribs) 20:06, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it devolved. I am incredibly angry and offended by the way Sandy has characterized me and my personal memorial, to which I made great pains to be honest. It shows both our friendship, and our falling out. Anyway, any interaction between Sandy and I is likely to quickly spiral out of control, because we both have unbounding contempt for the other. There simply was no excuse for this sort of post on ANI, which one user described as "the shittiest faith ever", and completely invalidated my own emotions. Anyway, I just wanted to explain that to you. --David Shankbone 20:11, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
My name here as well? Shankbone speaks for himself about years-long grudges. That may be his style, but it's not mine, and he rarely figures on my radar screen. But it's interesting that he has revealed his "unbounding contempt" for me; I don't usually occupy my brainspace with that kind of emotion. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:09, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your designation of a proxy will not bind you, and your proxy will not comment or vote for you, but only for himself or herself; however, I may consider proxy designations in weighing comment in this RfC, as to how they might represent the general community. You may revoke this designation at any time. This RfC is for my own guidance as to future behavior and actions, it is advisory only, upon me and on participants. This notice is going to all those who commented on my Talk page in the period between my warning for personal attack, assumptions of bad faith, and general disruption, on August 11, 2008, until August 20, 2008. This is not a standard RfC; because it is for my advice, I assert authority over the process. However, initially, all editors are welcome, even if otherwise banned from my Talk space or from the project. Canvassing is permitted, as far as I'm concerned; I will regulate participation if needed, but do not spam. Notice of this RfC may be placed on noticeboards or wikiprojects, should any of you think this appropriate; however, the reason for doing this in my user space is to minimize disruption, and I am not responsible for any disruption arising from discussion of this outside my user space. Thanks for considering this. --Abd (talk) 02:51, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
