You have been renominated

Hi there. A small number of us have expressed our support for your candidacy at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Can't sleep, clown will eat me 2. Please feel free to accept this nomination at your convenience. Best regards, Hall Monitor 00:31, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shhhhhh you weren't supposed to tell him. This thing was supposed to grow unnoticed by him until April :-P Cyde Weys 02:16, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a record for number of support votes before candidate acceptance? —BorgHunter ^ubx (talk) 02:56, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is it. While I maintain a page of records, we wouldn't want to vote just to attain a record, it cheapens the process. I'll wait until Clown accepts before I vote for him. Besides, I understand that BDAbramson's law firm stands ready to challenge votes should any serious threat be made upon his record ;-). NoSeptember ^talk 10:28, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BDAbramson does live in Florida. Oh jeez, recounts anyone? --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 21:21, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey now, I'm from florida, we legal types aren't all bad. Ok maybe we are. ⇒ SWATJester

^Ready Aim _Fire! 04:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And to think, I was gonna talk to him about doing his nom a little earlier than April :P --lightdarkness^(talk) 03:00, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, he was supposed to tell him. In this case, it's all harmless fun, but "stealth nominations" could be subject to abuse if they were to become accepted practice. I suppose in effect it's currently a 37-way co-nomination... Alai 17:44, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I hate you. I wanted to nominate him. Werdna648^T/_C\^@ 11:15, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

yeah i know i was going to nominate him on april 1st ^-^ still at least i got the first support, good luck clownBenon 10:06, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted texts

Edwardkindred 09:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ha.

Best. User name. Ever. -- eo 15:49, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions, questions.

Why does the clown wish to eat you? Can't you escape it? You must be tired after staying up this long, watching out in fear of it. Do you need my assistance? I could pull out my trustworthy weapon on it. :P The Wookieepedian 04:05, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

God mode light

Do you use GML ? Are you having trouble with it today, cause I sure am. No Guru 06:00, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to know it's not just me. hope is get fixed soon. No Guru 06:04, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See User:Lightdarkness/GML Fix for a solution to the godmode-light glitch! Cheers! --lightdarkness^(talk) 20:46, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Two anon's we're both reverting

On the MC Hammer page (you've warned him once) and on the Eternals page. I've submitted both to WP:AIV, and both have been continuously vandalizing over the past 24 or more hours (I was reverting these same vandalisms last night on IRC). I'd appreciate some help with a block on them. Thanks, and good to finally run into you on wikipedia. ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 04:15, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely, I suspect they will be blocked shortly. :) Can't sleep, clown will eat me 04:22, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My Talk Page

Thanks for reverting my talk page Antonrojo 16:23, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For reverting vandalism to my talk page, thanks! M ^o P 18:35, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reverting it on my page too.⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 19:11, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reverting my user page. I appreciate it. I'm keeping an eye on yours. Superm401 - Talk 14:51, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reverting vandalism on my user page. Keep up the good work; I'm always glad to see your edits in my watchlist. -GTBacchus^(talk) 08:22, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Too Fast

haha, when you are patrolling for vandals I can never revert before you've already finished. --mm e inhart 20:03, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia Vandalism

I noticed that you already warned User:Xjoeyx92 about the vandalism in this article. Thanks! I'm going to revert it to its original state. You're welcome to look over it, of course, as I can't guarantee the accuracy of these numbers. :) SujinYH 20:21, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

2nd RFA?

Why not? Become a SysOp, that is. Today, all I see is you eating clowns left and right; with a mop you could probably make a sandwich factory with them all. I saw that your previous request failed, but that was 2 months ago; with nearly 6000 edits and a good amount of experience, I would gladly nominate you. I'm just asking you if I can, as I wouldn't want to offend anyone. M ^o
P 09:45, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd support it. ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 09:58, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what your thoughts are in this regard, but what would you think if I nominated you for adminship in early April; or do you think it is too soon since your last RfA. Wikipedia needs an editor like you to be an admin. Keep up the incredible job you are doing. I stand in awe of your edits. ¡Dustimagic! ^(T/C) 00:21, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I guess you guys haven't seen Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Can't_sleep,_clown_will_eat_me_2 --lightdarkness^(talk) 03:04, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

best CSCWEM vandalism ever

I fell out of my chair laughing at this one. [1]...look at the picture +text.....you need to make a sock account called "Can't sleep, clown is angry!" to get back at the anon! ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 09:57, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This comment has been self-censored so as to not encourage "them". ;-) Can't sleep, clown will eat me 07:54, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A question on archiving

I want to put the current version of Michael Tang in my archive so after it's gone I can put it in BJAODN. The problem is, I don't know how. Could you give me any pointers? TKE 03:23, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalzapping

I must say, we're making a good one-two combination tonight :) — Deckill e r 03:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just added a {{photoreq}} to Talk:Bug zapper. ;-) Can't sleep, clown will eat me 07:48, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Damn, you're fast

I keep thinking you're a bot ... Four of the last forty edits were made by you. Amazing. AmiDaniel (Talk) 06:34, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indo-Fijian is a racially offensive term

Indo-Fijian is a racially offensive term. I am a Indian born in Fiji and I know that the current racially charged government of Fiji refer to Indians as Indo-Fijians. But keep this mind, would you like someone to refer to you as a sub-category of another race. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parik arun (talk • contribs) 05:14, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please review Wikipedia:Etiquette. If you disagree with the contents of an article, or believe that they are so offensive that they should not be included at Wikipedia, please discuss this on the talk page or bring the article up for deletion at WP:AFD. Simply blanking out a page though is considered vandalism. Hope that this helps. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 05:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not to mention that it just isn't true, Indo-Fijian is not a racially offensive term, if anything Fiji Indian is the racially offensive term --Xorkl000 08:38, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

with respect to your question posted on my talk page, please see my comments at Talk:Fiji. Can you also remember to sign your comments with four tildes when you post on my talk page. --Xorkl000 04:49, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would love your help.

Hi,

I know you are interested in christianity, and I recently started a new wiki over at wikicities which is on the subject of christianity. [2] is the site.

The goal is to have a knowledgebase on christianity from a distinctly "C(hristian)POV" rather than the NPOV. It is not meant to be a mere Christian Encyclopedia, but to foster a real sense of community. I'd like to include things like current events, news, stories, and anything that would add to both an understanding of Christianity, but also its enjoyment. I'm looking for help to build a resource that could really enrich the lives of Christians.

I know you are busy but I am actively seeking new sysops/admins to help me build this site up, and I would be positively thrilled if you could contribute in any capacity whatsoever. nsandwich 01:08, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you going to accept your nomination?

Please? You're 53-0-0 already and some people are waiting for your acceptance before they vote for you! :) File:Glenstollery.gif^POW! 15:01, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just one week left to go. P.S., cool sigfile. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 16:23, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, please go sign it. We could sure use your help.--Dakota ~ ° 09:14, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please go and sign, to accept the request for adminship. I'd like to add my say. --Alf ^melmac 08:18, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Will you please' sign your acceptance? I've heard rumours that some crats are willing to fail it if you don't accept... NSL E _(T+C) at 08:34 UTC (2006-03-26)

Finally

Hi. Though we have never met, I have come across your name (which is the coolest name I have come across) while RC patrolling. I really thought you were going to wait for April 1. Anyways, I don't see any problem with your RfA passing this time around. I really feel scared for all those vandals out there after you get your mop. All the best! - Aksi_great 18:16, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Your RFA

I have some pretty serious problems with the way your second RfA has been handled. I'd appreciate your throughts at WT:RFA, in the relevant section. Thanks. -Splash^talk 18:17, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As with my first nomination, I trust the community to do what is right. With all due respect, as I am a primary subject of your concerns, I intend to abstain from any comment in this case. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 18:29, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's your RfA, and I'd like to know why you accepted it in such a manner as to force the community to accept it. Abstention does nothing to fix that. -Splash^talk 18:30, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is an unfair comment to make. If the closing bureaucrat wishes to reject this nomination for any reason, I will respect his or her decision. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 18:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So you're going to refuse to explain yourself? It's not in the least unfair to have expected you to present an RfA to the community for consideration and discussion before it reaches the point of 60 support votes! You know very well that this is not the point of RfA, and a promotion on the back of such a forced acceptance would be one that I, personally, would decline to accept if it were me. -Splash^talk 18:37, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry you feel that way, and stand behind my original statements. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 18:42, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your original statement is that you refuse to make any statement. That you refuse to say why would become an admin in such a fashion. Is that right? -Splash^talk 18:48, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Can't sleep, clown will eat me. I must urge you to withdraw your RFA nomination and instead present it in the way which every other admin nominee has. While the way it was presented was not your fault, as the nominee, I believe you should show some respect for the RFA process and let there be an open discussion, rather than one behind closed doors with the decision apparently having been made. Thanks, Talrias (t | e | c) 18:45, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not aware of any precedent for this, but some pretty heavy accusations were made against me personally which could not have been further from the truth. As a result, I have withdrawn my nomination, removed all votes related to it, and will accept next month as I had originally planned. I hope that this is acceptable to all, but I realize that there are times when it isn't possible to please everyone. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 19:01, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When you say "next month", do you mean the beginning of April, or April 26th? --lightdarkness^(talk) 19:03, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When time permits in the first week of April. 8-) Can't sleep, clown will eat me 19:04, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou, I think you have made the right call. Good luck in April! Talrias (t | e | c) 19:08, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that was a brave move, and the right one. I'm sorry for what I suppose must be some ill-feeling towards me now; I hope that may go away with time. I imagine I'd have supported a properly-conducted RfA. -Splash^talk 19:05, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
