My RFA

Thank you, Buchanan-Hermit, for voting in my RFA. It closed with a final result of 75/1/0. Now that I am an administrator here, I will continue to improve this encyclopedia, using my new tools to revert vandalism, block persistent vandals, protect pages that have been vandalized intensively, and close AFD discussions. Any questions? Please contact me by adding a new section on my talk page. Again, thanks to all of you who participated!!! -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:21, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available

After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:11, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank-you

The count is in, and now I join the crew who wield the mops and pails. Thanks for your support! I pledge to serve both you and Jimbo Wales. If you have anything you need, then please don't think to hesitate. For I am the very model of a grateful admin designate! ♫Bucketsofg✐♪

Vandalism - It happened again

Hi Buchanan,

another vandalism on the laptop article came from 80.249.52.138 (talk page, with tons of warnings). Can we do anything for this? —Gennaro Prota^•Talk 11:18, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations

You're now an admin. I'd recommend being conservative with the tools, especially at first and re-reading the policies before acting. Post anything potentially controversial at the administrator's noticeboard before acting, but otherwise have fun with your new tools to make this a better place. - Taxman ^Talk 20:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey congrats 2, I was just about to go and blast some people for not being able to read your contribs, but now you're promoted so it saves me the problem. If you have any question on how to use the new shiny buttons feel free to give me a shout (or hop on IRC, we have nice channels there). Oh and qwack qwack qwack -- Tawker 21:07, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey, first second in with a congratulatory note. (darn Tawker and edit conflicts!) Nifty! Congrats - enjoy the mop! Tony Fox 21:10, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations! Usgnus 21:44, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

It's a good thing 79.52% rounds up to 80% (the presumed standard for Rfa consensus, I think) or I'd've been right there with Tawker. Oh, and Ceiling Cat LIES!!!!! (grin) RadioKirk talk to me 22:29, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, I was about to hair pull some editors, cough Bastique, Cough Doc, Cough Cuiviénen who were seeing a few vandal reverts and none of your great WikiProject Vancouver work and stuff like that, oh well, its good that it passed (and I wasn't even 79%, I was a Linuxbeak considered all factors promote :o -- Tawker 23:04, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I think so

I may be alerting you with the next few hours, about an admin task. I know you'll be great and you can handle it. It's about page protection. ForestH2 ^{(discuss | contribs)}

Congrats! You deserve this! --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 04:01, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

This will not be my last message to you. I don't think you should not be an admin, and it's not a big mistake. I'm not sorry that you were voted in. Congrats on the RfA - you deserve it for all your efforts on the Vancouver WikiProject and in fighting them pesky varmints... errrr...vandals. Keep up the good work!!! --Ckatz 06:16, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

De rien. Best wish for your adminship.--Jusjih 13:17, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

SpongeBob SquarePants episodes

I really enjoy just doing it this way...instead of posting to the actul Requests for page protection. As I said, Lar, recently unprotected, the List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes. Now, guess. What do you think, happend to the List. Answer yet? They were vandalized. And were getting to the point now, where it belongs to be semi-protected for a while. I'm also going to post on the Requests for Page Protection. Anways. Thanks. ForestH2

EWS23's RfA

Hi Buchanan-Hermit! Thank you very much for supporting my request for adminship. I was happy to see that yours passed as well. I apologize for not voting in yours (I certainly would have supported), but I generally don't add my comments unless I've had a fair amount of direct experience with the user. Hopefully I'll get a chance to know you better in the coming months. Anyway, thanks again, and always feel free to leave me a message. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 00:34, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

P.S.- Don't listen to Mopper...he likes to spread crazy rumors. :o)

P.P.S- I got so caught up talking about other things, I forgot to thank you for your very kind words on my RfA as well. It's not very often that I "wow" people, and that comment really made my day. Thanks again! EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 00:36, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
