We havn't heard from you in forever... Jtrainor (talk) 22:00, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I assumed it was the other way around :) I'm not getting any changes to that page on my watchlist... Anthøny 22:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I'm thinking of another case :) I relatively-recently posted more instructions in my attempts to get a resolution between the parties in the works, which can be viewed here. Perhaps you'd like to get involved? Anthøny 23:11, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adminship

Hey Anthony, thanks for your suggestion regarding adminship. I would certainly be amenable to wielding the "mop-and-bucket", and would be honoured to accept a nomination at RfA if you were so inclined. Thanks for noticing me! Take care, --Canley (talk) 00:35, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great, I'll whip up an RfA and link you to it soon ;) Anthøny 17:16, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, in answer to your questions:

No, I've used the same account since I joined.
I tend to be an analyser, rather than a doer, so things requiring quick action or decisions are difficult for me. That also means I err on the side of caution but I think I could be a bit bolder.
Sure, would be happy to. I have been very active in AfD and Recent Changes Patrol, but have been concentrating on writing a bit more in the past few months.
I can use it, but I hardly ever do. To be honest, all I've used it for is to check the status of Wikipedia when the servers seem to be down.

--Canley (talk) 00:18, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Anthony, just letting you know I've gratefully accepted your nomination for adminship, and answered the questions at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Canley. I'll keep an eye out for any supplementary questions, and thanks for your work in getting the process started. Regards, Canley (talk) 23:21, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thanks

Dear Arcticocean, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind support on my request for adminship which succeeded with a final result of (72/19/6).

Now that I am a sysop, do not hesitate to contact me with any queries you have. I would be glad to help you along with the other group of kind and helpful administrators.

Thank you again and I look forward to editing alongside you in the future. — E ^talk 12:28, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure, best of luck! Anthøny 17:16, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikBack account created

Someone, perhaps you, recently created an account at the WikBack. If the account was created by an imposter, please let me know as soon as possible so that it can be disabled. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 21:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That was me :) sorry if the different email address confused you. Anthøny 21:02, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Johnny Hockin

Hello, Arcticocean ... I am curious as to why you declined the {{Db-author}} on Johnny Hockin (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ... if you compare the article with the User page for the author, johnnyhockin (talk · contribs), it's obvious that it violates WP:AUTO, and the only other substantive edits were made by indefinitely blocked user Jamierush (talk · contribs) ... Happy Editing! —72.75.72.63 (talk · contribs) 21:12, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are also additional edits by other users (IP addresses, at least three other Wikipedians). According to the criterion set out at WP:CSD#G7, I cannot delete that article per CSD G7. Anthøny 21:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I was one of those IPs, adding tags to it like {{Articleissues}} and the {{Prod}} (which I have amended to include more complaints), and another editor reverted edits by a blocked user ... since the subject of the article has seen the error of their ways, why wait the five days to delete it? —72.75.72.63 (talk) 21:23, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It almost sounds as if you want an article to be deleted :) I've declined the speedy request without prejudice... That means that I am absolutely open to a deletion under AfD. But why rush through the removal of another user's work? Anthøny 21:57, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What can I say ... I believe that violation of Wikipedia:Autobiography should be a reason for speedy deletion :-) ... but if Some Other Editor removes the PROD, then I'll take it to AfD ... Happy Editing! —72.75.72.63 (talk · contribs) 22:04, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3RR block for Eurocopter tigre (talk · contribs)

He's only made three edits to the page, so it wouldn't seem that he'd broken the 3RR, per se; and it doesn't appear that this was part of a general set of blocks on everyone involved. Am I off-base with the current sentiment on the interpretation of the 3RR? Kirill 18:59, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I made the block for edit warring, rather than for a technical 3RR violation, to put a stem to disruption on the article. It's also been protected, I see, and the other parties blocked by other administrators. He's also been blocked several times for 3RR violations and/or edit warring on articles. Anthøny 22:01, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. It's probably not the best idea to use the standard 3RR block template, in that case. ;-) Kirill 23:07, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops :) I only used that because I've not updated my own warring template from 3RR references to edit warring references! Anthøny 23:12, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick note: if you will look carefully at my block log you'll see that I was only once blocked for breaking the 3RR or for edit warring, not "several times" as you erroneusly stated. --Eurocopter tigre (talk) 13:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Twice for a 3RR violation, once for edit warring. It's still unimpressive. Anthøny (talk) 13:49, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to let you know

I responded to what you asked on my Green Kirby 2 talk page. Please read it and try to understand it. You don't have to accept it, just understand it. And please don't block me for saying this on your talk page. I would'nt do this if it was'nt important.69.131.155.237 (talk) 23:34, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're not actually disrupting Wikipedia... Why would I block you? :) Anyway, I seen the message (don't worry, I'll notice it through my watchlist) and I've replied there. Cheers, Anthøny 23:36, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It does'nt matter if I'm disrupting Wikipedia or not. I'm a blocked user right now. Anyway, thanks for understanding. In the future, I will be a real good help. I just have to wait 2 more months.69.131.155.237 (talk) 01:14, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Happy new year

Qst 15:25, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You too ;) Anthøny (talk) 15:44, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please help with more improvements

AGK, thanks for recently closing a featured portal candidacy. I look forward to your continued efforts to help improve Wikipedia's portal namespace. Along those lines, I am asking for your help. Please take a look at the portal peer review for Contents and megaportals. Just like featured portal candidate reviews, it is a part of a larger portal namespace improvement drive. All of your comments, suggestions and participation in this improvement effort will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, RichardF (talk) 15:41, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting... I've been active on Portals before, with two of them featured, but never on the reviewing process. I'll probably check in at some point, and see how it goes :-) Anthøny (talk) 15:45, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I look forward to seeing what you think. RichardF (talk) 13:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

It's the 4Chan guy. I wanna say thanks with the help because otherwise I would be a saddened soul. DesuXDesu (talk) 01:15, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how I helped you, but you're welcome :) Anthøny 12:37, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year!

Dear friend, I hope you had a wonderful New Year's Eve, and that 2008 is your best year yet! ~ Riana ⁂ 02:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC) [reply]

You too, hope 2008 brings you great happiness ;) Anthøny 12:35, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here you go!

		The Working Man's Barnstar
		For having patience with a new user and attempting to help them... Good show, chap! :-) Scarian ^{Call me Pat} 14:12, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, much! Anthøny 14:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
