Action Research (charity) at AfD
The charity is actually one of the major UK medical research charities. I have rewritten the article in an attempt to remove the promotional tone. Espresso Addict 02:45, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Ok. The article looks great, lots of references, I think I'll withdraw the AfD, as it obviously was notable. --θnce θn this island Speak! 20:35, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- I'm glad it's been improved as a result of the AfD -- the existing article was dreadful! To withdraw the nomination you just need to strike out the original AfD rationale, state "Nomination withdrawn" or similar, and sign. An admin should then decide whether or not closure is merited, as I notice someone has suggested deletion of the article in its current state. Cheers, Espresso Addict 20:43, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. θnce θn this island Speak! 20:46, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
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.

Thanks, Archive 1! Thank you for voicing your opinion in my RfA, which passed today with a unanimous 79/0/0 tally. It feels great to be appreciated, and I will try my best to meet everyone's expectations. If you have any advice or tips, feel free to pass them along, as I am sure that I will need them!

Note
Hello. When reverting vandalism, on the vandal's talk page, why not put warnings? They are:
{{Subst:uw-v1}} {{subst:uw-v2}} {{Subst:uw-v3}} {{Subst:uw-v4}}
Happy editing! Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 21:50, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, I'll try do that. --θnce θn this island Speak! 21:51, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Help
Hello,
How does one go about locking the contents of a page? The mere fact that people can make changes without any approval causes some pages to have inaccurate or "inflated" information? Please help.
Mersia 01:41, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Hmmm, it depends on the page. If the page has a lot of vandalism then you can request page protection here. Only an administrator can lock the contents of the page. Hope this helps!v--θnce θn this island Speak! 01:58, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Oh, and if a page has inaccurate or "inflated" information, you can bring it up on the articles talk page. Requesting protection is only for articles with heavy vandalism. --θnce θn this island Speak! 02:16, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind. I fixed a grammatical mistake in there. RuneWiki777 21:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

OhanaUnited's RfA
Thanks for voting at my RfA. Unfortunately, the result stands at 51 support, 21 oppose and 7 neutral which means that I did not succeed. As many expressed their appreciation of my works in featured portals during my RfA, I will fill up the vacuum position of director in featured portal candidates to maintain the standards of featured contents in addition to my active role in Good articles. Have a great day. OhanaUnitedTalk page 04:14, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

my rfa
...thank you for your participation. I withdrew with 83 supports, 42 opposes, and 8 neutrals. Your kind words and constructive criticism are very much appreciated. I look forward to using the knowledge I have accrued through the process to better the project. I would like to give special thanks to Tim Vickers and Wikidudeman for their co-nominations.
Userpage vandalism
Thanks for the revert. I don't think there's a specific template for that kind of vandalism, but I wouldn't be overly surprised if you pointed out one to me. :-) — Coren (talk) 23:56, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Wikiholism
I recently posted this as a cure for wikiholism. If you discipline yourself, you should be able to wean yourself off of Wikipedia:
Cure discovered: Want to cure your Wikiholism? Well it is actually quite simple to do. Every time you wish to get on Wikipedia, or even to check your watchlist without editing, pour yourself a glass of water. Next, mix in a teaspoon or two (depending on how strong of a dose you want) of salt, and mix. You must swish the salt-water in your mouth for at least a minute and a half before you can go on Wikipedia. Continue to do this for a while, increasing salt content if you need a higher dose. Another variation is a mixture of water and hot sauce, but this you must drink fully before getting on. If you continue to drink the mixtures every time you edit Wikipedia, you will eventually associate Wikipedia with the mixture and quit or at least edit less. Good luck! =D Malinaccier (talk • contribs) 02:14, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

December 2007
Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you! Snowolf How can I help? 19:49, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
