Do you know whats up with the channel? I can't get in, and it also says it is not registered. - Rjd0060 (talk) 16:39, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, actually, I typed it wrong and it does say it is registered, but I am locked out. - Rjd0060 (talk) 16:43, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

OK Last message. All set, but I had to do /msg chanserv invite #wikipedia-en-admins for some reason. - Rjd0060 (talk) 16:59, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

You seem to be in there now. Majorly (talk) 18:59, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

RFA thanks

.: RFA thanks :.

Thanks for supporting me! My RfA passed with a final tally of 5 neutrals, 1 oppose and 148 supports, a turnout I couldn't have dreamed of. I'm going to do everything I can to help out the community, help with sysop tasks, and of course, contribute to the encyclopedia. If you ever need a hand with something, feel free to give a shout! Cheers! Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 17:24, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

An Afterthought

Hi Majorly. Just a note, but that "family" information regarding myself is not public at the moment. Mums and Dads only!?!? I'm sure you understand. Pedro :  Chat  01:17, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

You deleted Image talk:Flag of the Mughal Empire.svg on Jan 9. Could you explain why? It wasn't an orphaned talkpage.... Relata refero (talk) 12:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

There's no local image - of course it's orphaned. Majorly (talk) 12:59, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Peh, of course. How do you suggest I leave that fairly relevant note, then? Relata refero (talk) 13:11, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

You just left it. Majorly (talk) 13:15, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

But I had left the same note last time, and you deleted it anyway... I think..? Relata refero (talk) 13:25, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

No. Majorly (talk) 14:25, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

That is seriously puzzling, then. I wish I could figure out where I left that note; people have started adding the flag again... Relata refero (talk) 14:27, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Chandos

I have made a brighter version ofd the image at the same resolution. Can it be unlocked? Paul B (talk) 23:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, I unlocked it. Majorly (talk) 23:24, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Shakespeare pic

Just wanted to say thanks for getting that all-important image to FA status. Once we get the brightness thing figured out, it should be fine. I just wish you had dropped a note at the Shakespeare project about it so we could have been part of the process and expressed support! Wrad (talk) 00:07, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Ya, sorry about that... I didn't think some people would be so attached to it! Anyway, another user has attempted to brighten it up, so hopefully it's better than before. Majorly (talk) 11:06, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Chandos portrait

Did you change the portrait illustration on the Shakespeare page? If so, the one you substituted is dank and dark. I've seen the original, and it is closer to the old one than this one, which appears to have been made before it was cleaned.Tom Reedy (talk) 00:59, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

The older one is smaller and less detailed than the one I uploaded. Majorly (talk) 18:56, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

That is not sufficient reason to change the picture. The current one is dark and unattractive and not as suitable for the article illlustration. You changed the picture without any warning or discussion, and now you have protected the image page so that others might not revert to the original picture. Tom Reedy (talk) 20:01, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

The image is now featured... reverting it to the smaller, worse quality version doesn't help that. Majorly (talk) 22:30, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

And how exactly does that explain your high-handed substitution without consulting anybody who edited the Shakespeare article? The original image is sufficiently detailed for the purposes of the article, and I challenge you to show me some detail that is present in the new image but not in the old one. It is not WikiPedia's function to provide museum-quality reproductions that can be blown up to gigantic scale.Tom Reedy (talk) 23:42, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Please read WP:OWN. It is not your article, it is not your image. The fact is, the image is much more detailed than before. Detailed is better than a minute thumb image. Also, read WP:FP - we have tons of high quality images. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Majorly (talk) 23:47, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

You seem to be willfully missing the point. You are the one who is acting as if it were your image by changing it without consulting anyone in order to put another notch in your Wiki featured article/image belt. Had you gone through the generally accepted procedures to change the article, i.e. discussed it on the discussion page, no one would have gotten upset and it all could have been hashed out. But you chose to arbitrarily change the image without doing so, so you hardly have the right to complain when someone objects to your high-handed action. And at 475x600 pixels, it is hardly a "minute thumb image," so you are saying that in order to justify your actions. And again, I challenge you to pint out one detail that is visible in the new version that is not in the old.

I am content with the improvements Paul has made, so I will drop this. But next time you want to get credit for another featured-status article or image, I and the rest of the editors would appreciate it if you followed traditional suggested wiki practice. Tom Reedy (talk) 14:03, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

This is the very first featured item I have ever nominated, so don't tell me about me wanting to "add to my collection". The article I repeat isn't changed. It's the image that has. You are borrowing the image for the article. I shouldn't have to notify every page that uses it (have a look at all the pages that use it). As I said, use a different image if you don't like it. And I don't want credit. I just want a nice image on the main page, and the image you keep replacing it with isn't nice. Majorly (talk) 16:52, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry; my mistake. And why shouldn't you notify the pages that use the image before changing it, especially the two main articles (Shakespeare and chandos portrait)? If you had, this all could have been avoided. But I'm repeating a point you seem to be ignoring: standard wiki practice is to discuss changes before making them, especially on articles that have attained feature status (and the images used by an article are part of the article).Tom Reedy (talk) 18:00, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

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. Element 29: Copper Majorly Thanks for casting the 29th yea vote ("Sup Doc").      "The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot." - Michael Althsuler

Nousernamesleft

Hi, Majorly, 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.

Thanks

Your suggestion is worth thinking. --omalloor 06:00, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

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...

OhanaUnited's RFA

.: Thank you! :.

Thank you for participating in my 2nd RfA and supporting me! My RfA passed unanimously at 79 support, 0 oppose, 0 neutral. I would like to take this opportunity to thank AndonicO and Rudget for nominating me. I also want to thank LaraLove for persuading me to keep going after I failed my first RfA. To be really honest, I am surprised that my RfA passed without any oppose or neutral. Being an administrator means more responsibilities, especially when I'm now an administrator on both English Wikipedia as well as WikiSpecies. I promise everyone that I will use the tools effectively to serve the community. If you need help on anything, don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Last but not least, remember the motto for Ohana: "When it comes to family, nobody gets left behind." Once again, thanks for placing your trust in me to help the community.

Loser editing Childress page back

Thanks for helping me with that, but he's returned with a new IP address. What is the usual procedure when someone keeps vandalising a web page (let alone using an article not about me to attack me)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dougweller (talk • contribs) 19:46, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Have the page protected at WP:RFPP is a good way... or WP:AIV to have them blocked (vandalism only). Majorly (talk) 22:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

RE:Curious

Hello! I hope you are feeling fine. The reason for this behavior is because I am feeling a bit down with recent events. Most of the articles which I have created on non league football clubs have been deleted and this is very discouraging for me. Most likely, I will not create any more new articles on non league football clubs in the near future because of this. I just hope that consensus will change in the future with regards to notability issues for these articles. Thanks for your curiosity with regards to this matter. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 09:55, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
