User talk:Coemgenus/archive2007-1

Thank you for your support in the RfA on my behalf. It is an honor to have received your expression of confidence. To be chosen as an administrator requires a high level of confidence by a broad section of the community. Although I received a great deal of support, at this time I do not hold the level of confidence required, and the RfA did not pass. It is my wish that I will continue to deserve your confidence. Sincerely, --BostonMA ^talk 19:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Matthew Baird 13:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That wasn't vandalism and it wasn't a test! I was supporting an editors RfA, and as you can see here, there was nothing improper about it. I have reverted, I will also respond on your talk page. Coemgenus 13:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comment there, even though we disagree on some points, I thank you for understanding that i'm just trying to be a devil's advocate and avoid what seems to be a consensus reached by groupthink. Just H 01:12, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I think we both understand the issues at stake, but the community is vigilant against the creeping robocracy. For this one task, at least, I think a bot is acceptable. Coemgenus 13:26, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, i'm probably going to change from Strong Oppose to just regular old Oppose and maybe even Weak Oppose if they put the code into the public domain. Just H 20:15, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your support in my my RfA, which passed with a tally of 117/0/1. I hope that my conduct as an admin lives up to the somewhat flattering confidence the community has shown in me; showing I don't merely posess the qualifications but the actual capability to do the job! Please don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page should you need anything or want to discuss something with me.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks so much for supporting my recent RFA. A number of editors considered that I wasn't ready for the mop yet and unfortunately the RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). There are a number of areas which I will be working on (including changing my username) in the next few months in order to allay the fears of those who opposed my election to administrator.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for your support over the past week. I've been blown away by the level of interest taken in my RFA and appreciate the time and energy dedicated by all the editors who have contributed to it, support, oppose and neutral alike. I hope to bump into you again soon and look forward to serving you and Wikipedia in any way I can. Cheers!

I guess I should thank your for reverting the vandalism to my userpage, since you subsequently got hit afterwards. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 03:16, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Somebody reverted my page before I even noticed it was altered. What goes around comes around, I guess. Coemgenus 11:36, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm technically not a new user: I had an old account - namely Bourne End (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) but I lost the password to that one, and for a while, interest in Wikipedia. I only registered that account because I didn't want to edit as an IP address. I was in university at the time, and I felt it would be unsafe to edit as an IP address. Hope this explains it all for you.

If you thought it was weird for my RFA, you were probably wrong. Now I've explained the situation hopefully it's a bit clearer. --SunStar Net^talk 16:39, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for supporting me in my RfA! It succeeded, and I now have The Tools – which I'm planning to use as wisely as I possibly can. I hope I will be worth your confidence. Thanks again! :-) –mysid☎ 20:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if you would mind taking a look at the article on Judge Higginbotham, which has undergone a major transformation in the last month. I'd like to expand his judicial career section, but I'm not sure of any particular way that I could isolate significant cases he worked on. Same problem for the article of Robert N.C. Nix, Jr.. Any thoughts would be appreciated. JCO312 18:17, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good writing and great citation on the Higginbotham article - two things we often lack around here. I made a few minor changes. It would definitely help to have some sort of representative cases, just to show what kind of judge he was. His explanation of his judicial style is a good quotation (and you should leave it in, I think), but all such statements are ultimately self-serving - it would be nice to see some kind of description of his opinions in noteworthy cases. Are you aware of anything particularly interesting that he worked on? Coemgenus 18:49, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No idea. Don't even really know where to look to try and find out either. Maybe the Court's library staff can help. JCO312 19:01, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I read the Nix article, too. Again, good stuff. Same comments apply, I suppose - some representative cases would help illustrate his judicial style, but if you can't find any, I'd say it's still a good article. Either way, you should submit them both to WP:GA. I actually didn't know too much about these two eminent Philadelphians. Glad you could drop some knowledge on me.  :) Coemgenus 19:03, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm all for dropping knowledge. I'll nominate them, I think, when I finish adding some information on Higginbotham, and make one more try to get cases on them both. JCO312 20:30, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Accesses not Assess :) [1] I thought maybe it was someone calling someone an ass. Travb (talk) 21:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was writing that I was assessing the article, not accessing it, although at one point I'm certain I did write "asses" and hit enter before it was too late. Maybe I should type "assessed" just to be sure. Coemgenus 21:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Coemgenus. Just getting round to thanking everyone for their support at my RfA. It was a great turnout, so I'm about half way through at the moment what with trying to quell the backlogs as well! But, honestly, the result was very humbling and I am most appreciative. Thanks again. Bubba hotep 21:50, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Coemgenus. Due to the high number of inactive users at WP:USRD, we are asking that you verify that you are still an active contributor of the project. To do so, please add an asterisk (*) after your name on Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Newsletter/List. Users without one by the next issue in 2 weeks will be removed off the list and off the respective road projects as well. If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page. Thanks.

The Behnam 18:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did not attack you. My comments, which I will cite here , were inoffensive. I believe you mistook a reductio ad absurdum for an ad hominem. Sorry for the confusion. Coemgenus 18:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The category is deeply insulting and offensive, and I can hardly believe that anyone could support it in good faith. Apparently I'm not alone in thinking it should have been speedied without putting us through this circus—Kirill and Uber have better things to do, like, say, writing featured articles. Albrecht 13:41, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it's stupid France-bashing that has no place on the encyclopedia. I just meant that we should attack the category, not its creator or her motives. But you're right, it probably should've been speedied. Now, if only we could get that War of Spanish Succession article fixed so easily.... Coemgenus 13:46, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that gangrenous footnote of his keeps getting worse and worse, doesn't it? Not too worry; people tend to tire of fairweather nationalism before too long—look what just happened in Quebec. :) Albrecht 05:20, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we live in hope.

Coemgenus. I'm rewriting the War of the GA article - I hate it. Just to let you know so as you don't further waste your valuable, and valued, time on it. When the rewrite is done I will be glad, and no doubt in need, of your help. Thanks Raymond Palmer 19:21, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Really? I thought it was pretty good already! I was going to suggest nominating it for GA or FA, but if you can make it better, by all means do. Thanks for the heads-up, and let me know if I can help in any way. Coemgenus 19:52, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I told User:Heliac he needs to warn them, however mango juice told him not to. I think this area of policy needs to be clarified. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 17:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree. Most won't respond, but I think it's important to let them know they're being talked about and give them the chance to respond. Coemgenus 17:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but i think mangojuice has an appropriate point. the fact we dont want to bite and give tell the, tthey should change there name when it may be a false alarm, like in the most recent situation where there wer 10 names posted, of which 8 had unanimous consent to allow. Why should a new user be bitten or bothered in cases like that? -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 17:44, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good call, I hadn't considered that. I wouldn't want a user's first contact with WP to be this arcane and unfamiliar discussion. Hmm...I'll have to think about this one. Coemgenus 17:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
