Adminship?

Hi, I was wondering if you might be interested in becoming an administrator on Wikipedia? Having looked through your contributions, I think you have sufficient experience to do a good job. If you are willing to run at RFA, I would be happy to nominate you. WJBscribe (talk) 01:11, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, if you are, I'll certainly support you. ~ Troy (talk) 01:27, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Just an editor, never commented in an RFA before, but my two cents are: per WP:ANI#Returning_troll, Wikipedia needs mores Kiwi and Aussie admins - indeed, more admins outside Europe and North America.

Happy to lend my support.

Cheers, This flag once was red 20:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I'd be happy to write a co-nom if you and WJBscribe won't object to it. - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 23:11, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I would be happy to accept a co-nom. And I'd like to thank Troy and Flag for their offers of support, much appreciated :) ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 06:40, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

WJBscribe would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Wikipedia:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact WJBscribe to accept or decline the nomination. A page has been created for your nomination at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ameliorate! . If you accept the nomination, you must state and sign your acceptance. You may also choose to make a statement and/or answer the optional questions to supplement the information your nominator has given. Once you are satisfied with the page, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.

Sorry I am a later getting this finished than I had intended. Best of luck, WJBscribe (talk) 15:38, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I've written up the nom, and it's good to go. All the best for your RfA! - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 16:52, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Your edits

Hi, I just noticed your edit to List of Dog Breeds; capitalising the first letter of the category name doesn't appear to be necessary. For example; in this version the link to Category:Dog types appears the same as in this version where you had fixed it, so the edit (and the others like it) seem rather inconsequential. ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 09:55, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

It is part of the WikiProject Check Wikipedia in which such small things as categories beginning with a small letter are fixed. Giving each category a big letter is very useful for people who use the dump. Please contact Stefan Kühn for more information. Dr. Breznjev (talk) 10:04, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

dykeasymode.js

Two things :

[1] Click on the dykcredit tab gave this tonight
It would be great if the dykcredit tab is able to hide itself except "User_talk:" space; My other scripts in monobook.js is able to do so, you may want to borrow part of its code.

- Cheers, Mailer Diablo 22:58, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I've modified the script so that the tab only appears when a link to give DYK credits is followed. So on an ordinary edit page, no tab should appear but if you follow the credit link in this: Some article – Ameliorate! (give) (tag) the tab should appear. Aside from that I'm stumped about that bug that made the pluses show up, the URL for the credit link includes articleget=Article+name and the script pulls the name from there, pluses and all, but there's a line of code that replaces any plus with a space, the only thing I can think of is that when you clicked the tab, the script hadn't completely loaded and so the pluses were never replaced. I've tried to replicate it but can't seem to, would you mind following the credit link for List of awards and nominations received by Green Day (in this revision) and seeing if clicking the tab adds pluses again? Thanks, ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 06:28, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Note to self: Script could auto tag the article talkpage when the link is clicked. ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 15:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

WP:ANIME bot run

Will you run the bot again to regenerate this list filtered through this list? Thanks! ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 23:23, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Sure. I'll do it later tonight. ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 06:33, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Done :) ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 14:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

AmeliorationBot

Hi, I just noticed a case of AmeliorationBot making a change that didn't really fix anything, and thought you might want to know. Diff here: [2]. I already fixed the page, so no worries there. hbent (talk) 19:20, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

It removed the Example.oggs but I see what you mean. It's because I have to use fixed algorithms but the content in the edits can be entirely random, in this case it was particularly messy but I will see if I can use anything in that diff to try and improve what is picked up. Thanks for fixing the article and letting me know. Cheers, ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 01:37, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Hello Ameliorate!. Thank you very much for your support in my recent Request for Adminship, which was successful with 111 supports, 0 opposes, and 0 neutral. I have to say I am more than a little overwhelmed by this result and I greatly appreciate your trust in me. I will do my best to use the tools wisely. Thanks again. Regards.

Cubbon Park

Hi!Ameliorate! Yes, you have realy ameloirated my lack of appreciation of the direct link to be made to the hook text. Now I know how to do it. Thank you very much.--Nvvchar (talk) 13:08, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations, you are now an administrator!

Congratulations, you are now an administrator - and with an overwhelming majority of editors supporting your RfA! Now is the time to visit the Wikipedia:New admin school and, if you haven't already, to 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 18:22, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations from Auckland! One of my concerns about Wikipedia has been that admins seem concentrated in the US and Western Europe, and it can be a free-for-all at certain times of the day. I hope more admins in different timezones (UTC+13, for example) will help address that. Oh, and I think you'll personally make a damn fine admin no matter where you are.

Cheers, This flag once was red 18:40, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks from Christchurch! :) Which reminds me ... I guess I'll have to get round to thanking everyone later. ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 19:44, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Best wishes Ameliorate! ~ Troy (talk) 19:46, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Sweet! Have fun with the mop! J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 06:02, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

that felt good, didn't it? ;) Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:11, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Nup, 2 seconds too early; I'll need to perfect that ;) ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 12:24, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Congrats, just remember WP:DDTMP :P RockManQ ^(talk) 17:34, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Main page? Nah, but yesterday I misclicked the delete tab on the AIV page, rather than the history tab. Got a big red warning notice since it has too many revisions to be deleted though. Not sure whose idea it was to put those two tabs side-by-side anyway. ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 23:11, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

I have a better idea, deleting RfA, though I'm sure it has enough revisions :D RockManQ ^(talk) 00:49, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Congrats as well! Here's a plate of cookies! — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 00:44, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

OMG!!! Where did we go wrong???? Anyway, congrats.---Balloonman ^PoppaBalloon 01:27, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Subst

Thanks for letting me know, I wasn't aware of that. I'll try to do better. Congratulations on being an admin. Little Red Riding Hoodtalk 21:12, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

That's okay, it's a common mistake and no harm done. And thanks :) ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 21:37, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Betsy

Thank you for contributing the article Betsy (dog)! Very interesting. Aridd (talk) 21:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I thought so too. It's the result of the dentist having a March 2008 copy of the National Geographic in the waiting room. ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 21:40, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Golden Eaglez

Hi. Please see User talk:Jeff G.#Golden_Eaglez for discussion of my attempt to speedily delete it. Thanks! — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 21:36, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Kayzoo

This is about the Kayzoo Speedy deletion, I see it was deleted. I just wanted to say that one of the very first things I wrote to you about the hold on the speedy deletion was. I was not finished writing about it. I would think when someone said they were not finished writing about a subject you would give them a few days to finish. Thanks. Gehaner (talk) 22:57, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

If you had requested directly that you were still writing about it I would have given it a bit longer, but your argument was that i's the same as every other website on List of social networking websites, so if we deleted KayZoo we have to delete everything on there as well. I can restore the page and move it to your userspace if you would like so you can finish it there. ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 23:06, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

I think the first thing I wrote was (I am not finished with the site), but I could be wrong.

It would be great if I could finish it. Thanks Gehaner (talk) 01:33, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for helping me better understand the use of rollback. Dbiel ^(Talk) 01:41, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
