Re: Barnstar log

Re your message: Hey, that's great. =) I'd be happy to help you set it up. I created a separate barnstar log in my user space at User:Gogo Dodo/Barnstars. That is then transcluded into my user page with a {{User:Gogo Dodo/Barnstars}}. You can copy either the entire layout of the log or just the barnstars userbox-like thing. On my log, the userbox-like list is on the top and then the big multicolumn table is at the end between the <noinclude></noinclude> tags. I'm not sure if you want the whole thing or just parts, but if you leave me another message (this time I will hopefully notice), I can copy the relevant section into a userspace page for you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:05, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Re your message: It is rather confusing since there's a lot of stuff in there. I slimmed it down and inserted your barnstar into User:Daedalus969/Barnstars for you. You can alter the CSS code to suit your userpage or rename the page if you don't like the name. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:09, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Re your message: You're welcome. The Rickroll thing originated with me running into Rumperypumpery (talk · contribs). While his edits were good, the edit summaries were not at all helpful. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 22:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

3RR

Exactly how does this approach 3RR? The edits are spaced over weeks. 70.55.84.42 (talk) 08:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

You should know that what you're reverting are *not* cartoons, and therefore cannot be categorized as anime. Vampire Hunter D: Throng of Heretics has never been animated. 70.55.84.42 (talk) 08:43, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

KLR650

I believe you deleted my post on KLR650 earlier today.

I added a valid link to one of the TOP KLR forums in the world. Why would that be removed ?

Just trying to figure out how to contribute to the Misplaced Pages, but don't want to waste my time if my contributions get deleted !

Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.223.51.165 (talk) 21:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of The Dingo

I'm confused about this deletion. Here is a person with references from leading snowboarding magazines. He is the largest personality in snowboarding. Announces every major event. Why not allow me to build on the article rather than just delete. Please advise. Thundata (talk) 19:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Your Sig

Hi Daedalus! Noticed a report of yours at AIV, nice work. Just wanted to let you know that your sig includes something that does not comply with the WP:SIG guideline. It is inappropriate to have external links in your signature including email addresses. You can leave the email this user Wikilink however. Hope this doesn't sound too mean :).¤~Persian Poet Gal 22:47, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Pictures are also something that are not advisable to include in a signature according to the guideline. You know you can use Unicode Symbols and link it in the following way ].¤~Persian Poet Gal 23:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: RE6 Hoax

Re your message: Thanks. I deleted that copy, too. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:54, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Admin Coaching

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to decline to being your admin coach. I'm honored that you would ask, but my declining has to do with a few of reasons, none of which have to do with you. I don't feel that I can dedicate enough time to be a proper coach nor do I think that I would be particularly good at it. I don't want to see you fail in your pursuit of an RfA (should you decide to go that route), because of poor coaching on my part. There are some excellent admins who have volunteered and I think they will do a much better job than I would.

I do have to echo Gonzo's comments to you that pursuing an RfA now would be premature. His advice of getting more experience around here is a good one. Find some part of Misplaced Pages that interests you where admins work (XfDs, RC patrolling, WP:ANI, CSD tagging, etc.) and dedicate some time to helping out. Having writing experience is a plus, but making a FA/GA/FL isn't really necessary (I've never had one before my RfA and many admins don't). You do need some writing experience so you can experience the collaborative nature of Misplaced Pages and consensus building. Watching others make a consensus is far different that actively participating in making a consensus when you have to defend your position. You don't have to start an article from scratch or anything like that, but you should make substantial contributions to some articles.

As Gonzo offered, I would be happy to answer your questions and give you feedback on things, but I'm leery about any formal coaching agreement due to my own time constraints. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:30, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Re your message: You are on the right track with what you are doing, just need some more experience. As for a FA, like I said, it's not a requirement so I wouldn't worry about it. You're not likely to see an FA coming out of my writing either. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
