Hello Go Phightins. please help! I have had my first article deleted by you about Carter Harris. It took me awhile to figure out how to cite properly and the page was marked for deletion. I thought i had remedied the situation but then the page was deleted. I don't even know if this is the right forum. Please help direct me to how it can be re-listed. Thank you in advance. here is a link to Carter Harris IMDB ^[1] Jplippstein (talk) 23:29, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

@Jplippstein: If you want to recreate the article again, you can go ahead, but having just IMDb as a source isn't going to be enough. If you want to create the article, and lower the risk of having it deleted, you can create it as an Articles for Creation submission and have a reviewer see if it's fine, or as a draft in your userspace, at User:Jplippstein/Carter Harris, where you can develop it until you're ready to move it into article space.

@ZappaOMati: Thank you so much. Will do!

On 2 June 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Alejandro Villanueva (American football), which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that if United States Army Ranger Alejandro Villanueva does not make an NFL roster, he plans to return to Afghanistan for a fourth tour of duty? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Alejandro Villanueva (American football). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Ben, I would like to take this moment and thank you for the trust you had placed in me and for your support in my RfA that happened a while ago. Although it didn't turn out as I had planned, I certainly appreciated all the comments and suggestions given by you and other people. I will learn from all of them and will hopefully run again someday when I'm fully ready. Thank you. TheGeneralUser (talk) 13:22, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

No problem. - Ben

I think Drmies is perfect to help guide you as a new Jedi...er admin. He has a good sense of humor as well.--Mark Miller (talk) 06:11, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

If he's willing, works for me :-) Go Phightins! 16:32, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

I didn't give him a choice and forced him to adopt me for a couple of months, along with oversite from a few others. You could do worse. Farmer Brown - 2¢ 10:44, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Don't think you're off the hook either, Dennis. If you refer to my updated user page, you will find that you, Drmies, and TP share that role :-) Go Phightins! 19:04, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Go Phightins!, I have closed your request for adminship as successful. Congratulations on the strength of support for your request and your place on WP:RFX100! As always, the administrators' reading list is worth a read and the new admin school is most certainly available if you feel that you might require some practice with the tools in a safe environment prior to applying them elsewhere. Good luck with your adminship! Acalamari 10:25, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to the extra buttons - feel free to drop me a line if you need any help with your new superpowers. Yunshui ^雲_水 10:26, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Congratulations... Matty.007 10:32, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Well done on your successful RfA. Be sure to wield that mop with wisdom and calmness. —Tom Morris (talk) 10:44, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Go, cheerful phighter! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:21, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Congrats! (uploading genuine cheesesteak instead of what passes for one here in FL) Collect (talk) 11:23, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Well done - enjoy the mop! Brookie :) { - he's in the building somewhere!} ^(Whisper...) 12:17, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Congrats GP! I'll be at the Phillies game tonight, you? :) -Newyorkadam (talk) 12:17, 29 May 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam

Great job (same might not be said about your Phillies), and good luck in your future editing endeavors! ZappaOKCMati 14:21, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Yee-ha! Didn't even realize you were running again. A most deserved mop for you! John from Idegon (talk) 14:44, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Congrats! Connormah (talk) 15:12, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Congratulations for a mop well-earned! Epicgenius (talk) 16:25, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

"Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it." Congrats and good luck! Resolute 16:28, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Second those sentiments... Good luck... but be careful so you dont wind up quitting the whole project as a result like several others have. Spanneraol (talk) 16:35, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Congratulations! --Ixfd64 (talk) 17:19, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

If you'd like, your first act taking advantage of your admin permissions could be to send out the WP:BASEBALL newsletter on Saturday. I plan to complete copy editing on Friday and can give you the info required to do the mass mailing then. (I've never seen the interface, but I believe I have the info required for each field in the form, and from what I can gather, it seems straightforward enough to use.) isaacl (talk) 18:30, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Congrats on your shiny new mop!! —  dainomite   19:15, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

• Hey, thanks everyone. I tried to hit the thank button for all who voted in my RfA, but may have missed a few here and there, so if I did not thank you, thank you, and thank you for tolerating my posting of about ten thank yous in this single sentence . I plan to dabble in some WP:PERM or WP:RPP soon, so if you have anything in that department, you are welcome to let me know, but other than that, I am still cautiously looking through the new admin school and trying to make sure I don't hit any wrong buttons. Anyway, thank you for your support, and I would like to point out that I have not been given my standard issue article of clothing yet ... Go Phightins! 21:17, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
  • Fresh off the presses... or however they make t-shirts these days. —  dainomite   03:01, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
    • Thanks Daino. Go Phightins! 01:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
• Congrats GP. Some might see this as a successful week, but it is really the success of a few years, working to learn the system, to be a worthwhile contributor in all areas, and being an all around fair and rational person. You brings some excellent qualities to the admin corp, and I'm proud that I've been able to help along the way. As always, if there is anything I can do to help, all you have to do is ask. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 21:42, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
  • Appreciate the kind words as always, Dennis. Go Phightins! 01:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
• Aaaaw....I didn't get to support you. Pooh. Congratulations or....so sorry for you. Wink, Wink! (I kid...sort of)--Mark Miller (talk) 21:56, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the nomination, TP. Go Phightins! 01:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Well done. I used to be a janitor when I was young, and consider it a most honorable profession. Keep your mop sanitized. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:32, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
    • Janitors are pivotal in real life; the quality of janitorial work can make or break one's experience in a building. Same holds true here on WP. Go Phightins! 01:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
• Congratulations. --John (talk) 05:55, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks, John, and if you want to discuss censorship and the like as it pertains to Wikipedia some time, IRC might be a good venue, or somewhere else. You name the venue, and I'll be there. Go Phightins! 01:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

• Congrats :) Jim Carter ^(talk) 17:28, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

As I saw the RfA progressing, all I could think of was a Harry Kalas-esque annoucement of "this RfA is outta here!!!!" Congrats.  :) I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 19:07, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Me too, Jethro. Go Phightins! 01:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Sorry I'm late. Congrats on becoming an admin! --AmaryllisGardener ^talk 21:41, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Go Phightins! 01:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

• Good job, GP! That was "phantastic" (puns, puns). Hope the shiny new buttons treat you well . Your pal, Sportsguy17 (T • C) 02:58, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Haha. Go Phightins! 01:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
• Drat. Sorry I missed your RfA, but it looks like you did fine without me. Congratulations, and welcome to the club! --BDD (talk) 22:34, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks, BDD. Go Phightins! 01:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
• Crikey - you give a Phillies fan admin status, next thing you know we'll have to promote a Pirates and Cardinals fan too. What's the world coming to? the panda ₯’ 22:45, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I know. Before too long, hopefully we'll never have another Dallas Cowboys fan. Go Phightins! 01:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
    • Whoa, whoa, whoa, I was raised in Texas. Don't even start talking trash about my Cowboys. I grew up with Roger Staubach and drank a lot of beer watching Troy Aikman. I've even hung out with Barry Switzer and half the offensive line, drinking Shiner Bock in Luckenbach, Texas (yes, really). Is it too late to withdraw my nomination for your RFA? ;) Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 01:34, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
    • Sigh, I knew you had bad taste in sports teams, but I didn't realize it was that bad. Tsk. Tsk. Tazerdadog (talk) 07:07, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
    • @Go Phightins!: Seems to be some serious WP:OR on that Cowboys association. Congrats!—Bagumba (talk) 07:11, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
      • You guys are going to do it: 8-8 four years in a row! Zappa24Mati 15:38, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
        • For the record, this comment does not group me with those "guys". Dig through my contribution history if you're really curious as to whose colors I bleed.—Bagumba (talk) 17:15, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
          • Meh. San Diego, I think, but I don't despise them as much as Dallas, so it's more convenient to group you with the misguided Cowboys fans. Phightins is Gone (talk) 17:22, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

As you are probably aware, I voted for you during you Request for adminship. I have been reviewing your adoption course, and I don't yet understand Wikipedia and all of its rules. I am seeking adoption. Will you be so kind to adopt me? -- Mmddyy28 (Contact Me Here) 23:43, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Mmddyy28. With the new tools, I don't have a ton of extra time for adoption right now, but let me ping Tazerdadog. as perhaps he can run you through my course. Go Phightins! 21:38, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello Mmddyy28. I would be delighted to run you through the course if you would like. Phightins, would you like to use the same arrangement we used for JHUbal? Tazerdadog (talk) 19:28, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Whatever works for you, Tazerdadog. I trust you to handle the course; if you want to do it in my userspace, that's fine, if you want to do it in yours, that's fine too. I can pop in if you need my help, but I trust that you can pretty much run the course. Thanks a million. Go Phightins! 19:30, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Ok Mmddyy28, Go Phightins!, I have gone ahead and made the adoption page. You can find it here. Best of luck! Tazerdadog (talk) 19:57, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

on your excellent stroll through the RfA park :) --KudpungMobile (talk) 20:02, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

And User:Robert Dell is back, [1] though, this time he's more passive aggressive than last time.--Mr Fink (talk) 14:45, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Hey Apokryltaros. Remind me, how do I know this user? The username is vaguely familiar, but I can't remember why ... Go Phightins! 17:22, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Earlier this month, Robert Dell leaved an incoherent rant about "rich man's wiki" in response to a warning I put on his page for misusing a talkpage as a forum thread over a month ago. When I reported him at the Vandalism noticeboard, you declined on the grounds that he edits very infrequently (i.e., in month-long intervals), and then advised me to re-report him to you or the noticeboard should he return. And he returned earlier today, again angry for having dared to warn him, and also demanding that I remove his name from a spam filter he apparently traced to Wikipedia that was, according to his latest rant, blocking him from getting a job for the last five years or something. But, then we had a long and frustrating talk, and I think the matter has been straightened out for now. So, please forgive me for bothering you.--Mr Fink (talk) 20:25, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
