Happy Rambo's Revenge's Day!

Rambo's Revenge has been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, so I've officially declared today as Rambo's Revenge's Day! For your awesome featured and good content work, enjoy being the star of the day, dear Rambo's Revenge! Signed, Dylan (chat, work, ping, sign)

For a userbox you can put on your userpage, please see User:Dylan620/Today/Happy Me Day!.

April 28 was your day, I was away. Also, just a quick note with regards to MBisanz's nomination, you accepted it but you never transcluded the RfA onto the main RfA page. Best, Dylan620 _{Efforts · Toolbox} 13:10, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I've been away this weekend which is why I didn't thank you earlier. It is also why I didn't transclude the RfA page, I'm about to do it now. Once again, many thanks. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 12:47, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

List of Maryland birds

Hello. I've brought the List of birds of Maryland up for a FLC and it has been requested that an image review be done. I know that you are busy with the RFA, but do you think that you have time to do one? Thank you. Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 13:34, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I will attempt to, although the review maybe split up and not necessarily chronological. This is because I am trying to review the images for the FLC and for Commons:PD files (a new iniative that will, hopefully, prevent images needing reviews again). Rambo's Revenge (talk) 20:00, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you and take your time. I'm in no rush. I've replied to your first batch to the best of my abilities. If there is anything I can do to help or, for that matter, improve my knowledge of this type of thing, please tell me. Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 00:47, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

In this FLC reply you asked if there was a tutorial. There wasn't to my knowledge, so I have created a page with some of my thoughts on what to look out for at User:Rambo's Revenge/Image review. Apologies that it is a bit rough and ready. Hopefully it might develop into something better over time, but I am still rather busy IRL so can't really make a great tutorial at the moment. Hope it is of some help, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 15:07, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Hi, I have done what you have suggested in Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Case Closed episodes (season 1)/archive2. If there is anything else I can do to make you change your mind about your opposition, please comment. I'm still working on spotting errors in my grammar and comments would help.DragonZero (talk) 08:01, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Your Request for Adminship

Congrats and best of luck with the tools. Hopefully this won't detract from your great participation at FLC and FLRC. Cheers, — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 23:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Dear Rambo's Revenge/Archives,

I have closed your recent RfA as successful per the consensus of the community. Congratulations, you are now a sysop! Please make sure you're aware of the Administrators' how-to guide and are aware of the items on the Administrators' reading list. Finally, please don't hesitate in contacting me if you need anything. Best of luck in your new position! —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 13:07, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Congrats. :) –Juliancolton | ^Talk 13:09, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Yay. - Dank (push to talk) 14:48, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Well done! Matthewedwards :  Chat  18:01, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Alright, another minion to do my bidding great admin ;) Dabomb87 (talk) 21:14, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Congrats—Chris! _ct 23:09, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations. Here are what pass for words of wisdom from the puppy:

Remember you will always protect the wrong version. Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. You will always pick the wrong one to do. (See #5) Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll. Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block. Remember when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology. and finally, Remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able.

Thanks!

To all that participated in my RfA. Thank you! Although I am not going to thankspam everybody, that does not mean I do not appreciate all the kind words said there. I am very busy for the next three weeks and will barely be surfacing here, however, when I do return I will try to finish all the suggested readings, and slowly start getting involved with the tools (and with some more content and FL[R]C stuff again). Best wishes, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 16:12, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Well done dude. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:08, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of birds of Maryland/archive1

Sorry, dude. After posting the original uploaders I never returned to see if you'd replied, so I didn't know you'd asked me to copy the history over. Matthewedwards :  Chat  05:19, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

That's quite alright. I think my RfA was looking okay at that point so I didn't bother chasing it up, and just waited until I could do it myself. Speaking of that FLC I haven't continued the image review, because the nominator doesn't appear to have addressed the current ones. I hope that's okay.

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of papal tombs/archive1

List of papal tombs is an image reviewer's nightmare, but I'm not sure what we can do about it. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:43, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

If no-one gets to it, I can do one when I am back to full editing strength (just over a week). However, I also still owe the Maryland birds list one as well. If you want one before then, it is possible that some of the en.wiki users on this list might help. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 20:33, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Addendum. My mistake, you are on that list so you know all about it. That's what happens if you try and rush onto wiki in your spare time! Rambo's Revenge (talk) 20:36, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of winners of the London Marathon/archive1

Hiya. How's things? I was wondering if you could provide some comments/reviews or whatever at the post-10-day FLCs. I want to close them before the end of Friday so any entrants in the Cup can get any successful nominations posted. I've also addressed your comments at the London Marathon FLC. Regards, Matthewedwards :  Chat  04:16, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I really can't. I have a much bigger situation to deal with at the moment. Of the two I commented on, I still think the helicopters list has issues, I've struck my comments on London Marathon but aren't supporting just because I haven't really looked at the list enough to do so. Sorry I can't be more help. Hopefully I should be around more from next week. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 17:26, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

FLRC - List of London Underground stations

Hi - could you recheck the changes made to this list and decide if you still assert the list should be delisted? Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:09, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

I have commented, and at the moment my opinion is unchanged. Thanks, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 22:39, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

I put in my two cents too, so hopefully improvement and a "keep" will be forthcoming in the near future. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:43, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
