End of an era?

I take it you're stepping down as the administrator of the Award Center? --BrokenSphere^{Msg me} 05:15, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Sharkface has been running it for weeks, and has done much more there than me. I will retain the link above for easy access, and anticipate posting new tasks from time to time. The Transhumanist 05:29, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey

Hope you're OK. Did some of the user requested deletions for you. Still puzzled by all that's been going on, last few days, but now increasingly concerned for you. There's a big bunch of people that really value your efforts here. If you ran for WWAV, it'd be a walkover. --Dweller (talk) 06:59, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

You worry too much. Remember Interiot?  :)

The Transhumanist (talk) 10:11, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Gosh, yes, how could I forget?!? <blushes> OK, that sounds more like you. I'm placated. I've also seen your comments below. Can I recommend some variation on the wikibreak tag, so all those who care about you can stop worrying? --Dweller (talk) 12:58, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm not going on a wikibreak. The Transhumanist (talk) 17:55, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Coaching

Why resign? Is it because of the RFA yesterday? D.M.N. (talk) 09:07, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

It's a factor. But mostly it's because I've been spending too much time online and need to cut back. Now that the RfA is out of the way, this is a perfect time to do so. You don't need a coach anyways. Simply study the contribs of existing admins and emulate them. The Transhumanist (talk) 10:10, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

OK. I'll give you a knock here when I feel like going for RFA. :| D.M.N. (talk) 10:14, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Same here, and thanks for all the help. I still am dumbfounded that you are still not becoming a sysop. Redmarkviolinist ^{Drop me a line} 15:03, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Resign

Why is this? I've been searching for articles for that space exploration thing, if this is what it's about. Juliancolton (Talk) 11:56, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

See above. The Transhumanist 18:07, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah, well, ok. Any other coaches you know of that can continue my coaching? Oh, and same as with above, I will give you a poke if (or when) I go for a RFA. Juliancolton (Talk) 18:13, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

You don't need a coach. ;) Just read the pages on the admin reading list, and you'll be fine. The Transhumanist 18:32, 14 February 2008 (UTC) 18:20, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I will. BTW, why did you get rid of your old signature, and do you think it looks good on my sig? ;) Juliancolton 18:21, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Looks good. The version that works in the raw signature box of my preferences is a little longer than the cut and paste version. Here's the one that works in autosig: The Transhumanist 18:32, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

(to specify the date in the signature wikicode, use five tildes.

Ah, ok. Thanks. Juliancolton 18:41, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Amit Sahai suicide

I nominated an article, Amit Sahai suicide, that is related to the List of deaths caused by ragging that you've edited and so maybe you would interested in that AfD debate.

RFA

Considering that you coached me for a while, I was wondering if I was ready for an RFA. Redmarkviolinist ^{Drop me a line} 22:13, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Nope. The Transhumanist 22:36, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Just so you know, he started one. Malinaccier (talk) 22:37, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

What?!

Are you resigning form VC or Wikipedia in general? _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} ^{it seems the winds have stopped...} 23:33, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Neither. I've resigned my current coaching assignments. I am looking for a new host for the VC page. Are you interested? If so, I'll move it and all of its subpages to your user space. The Transhumanist 23:55, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, if you like. Are you still my admin coach, or... _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} ^{it seems the winds have stopped...} 17:48, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for participating in my RfA! It was closed as successful with 58 supporting, 0 opposing, and 2 neutral. I hope to demonstrate that your trust in me is rightly placed and am always open to critiques and suggestions. Cheers. MBisanz talk 04:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Doczilla's RfA

.: Oh, no! There goes To-ky-o! Admin Doczilla! :. File:Godzilla(01)reverse.jpg Thanks for !voting! Thank you for !voting in my RfA which resulted in the collapse of civilization with 92 (94?) support, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral. Blame jc37 and Hiding for nominating me, everyone who had questions or comments, everyone who !voted, everyone who tallied the numbers correctly, and WJBScribe who closed without shouting, "No mop for you!" Seriously, your response has overwhelmed me. I am deeply grateful. Betsy Ross '76. The Transhumanist Thank you for casting the 76th vote in support.      "The bad news is time flies.

npov issue

Hi, I love the graphic look of your userpages. I am writing because I saw your barnstar for Striver and thought you might be interested in a npov issue which I have been involved in for several weeks. Best wishes  &#151; Xiutwel ♫☺♥♪ (speech has the power to bind the absolute) 01:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Please summarize the conflict for me in nutshell. The Transhumanist 04:44, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Userpage help

I've been doing some of your speedies and wanted to let you know that your active involvement will be sorely missed. On a technical note, where should User:The_Transhumanist/User_page_design resolve to? Its in top of Wikipedia:WikiProject User Page Help/Help Desk (an area I've sort of remodeled) and its redlinked now. MBisanz ^talk 02:31, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Fixed. The page was moved to Wikipedia:User Page Design Center, because I couldn't find a host for it in userspace. The Transhumanist 04:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Also, do you want to move yourself into former coaches here Wikipedia:Admin_coaching/Status and repoint your coachees links to their userpages? MBisanz ^talk 10:18, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm just on a break from coaching. I didn't resign from the department. That record is way out of date, with many students' names missing. I just removed it altogether. The Transhumanist 16:42, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Virtual Classroom hosting

Hey, I'm still interested in hosting this. If you have time, could you consider it? Thanks. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} ^{it seems the winds have stopped...} 21:12, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

done - pages moved. The Transhumanist 21:23, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} ^{it seems the winds have stopped...} 22:19, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Nousernamesleft

Hi, The Transhumanist, thanks for voting in my RfA, which passed with 47 supports (I hoped for a perfect square, but two away is close enough!), 3 opposes (the first odd prime), and 0 neutrals. I'm glad the community has decided to trust me with the mop and bucket (the flamethrower isn't supported). Of course, special thanks goes to my nominators Auawise and that one guy who buried stuff (not that the thanks I give to the you isn't special!). If you ever need a hand with something, or just want to say hello, tough feel free to drop a line! Best wishes, Nousernamesleftcopper, not wood 23:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC) This doesn't even vaguely resemble a mop, but I couldn't find a picture of one.

I can has thankspam?

Quick, let's delete the front page!

No seriously, thanks for contributing at my RfA which ended 68/0/0. I'm amazed and humbled by the result, and the warm and supportive comments that went with it. I've put the pic of Tiger here because although I know not everyone appreciates lolcats, to me it illustrates the possibility of taking things seriously with a light heart. I will try to do so, and remain open to the being slapped down if I do start being impossibly pompous. Thanks Pedro :  Chat  for your generous nomination, and also to Master of Puppets for ripping off his thankspam without so much as a by-your-leave. To all who contributed - especially the eventually withdrawn (but very interesting) neutral and oppose - thank you! Now it's off to new admin school for me, before I dare do anything for real...
