Image:Maryland State Trooper 3.jpg
I understnad it's your image, and you can do with it want you want. Anyway, I'm just curious as to why you're removing it, as it is a nice image. I don't beleive we have an image of a MD State Police helicopter in that scheme anywhere else, and it certainly is unique. Again, I'm just curious, and not rying to pry in anyway. Thanks. - BillCJ (talk) 06:33, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- I am removing this image because I think that it could possibly be used to identify where I live. scetoaux (talk) (My contributions.) 06:37, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
OK, totally understandable. You can delete this post if you need to, and even get an admin to remove it from your visible history - I have no problem with that. - BillCJ (talk) 06:42, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Question
Why did you tag my recently created redirect for speedy deletion? I'm sure you were right to do so and am not going to remove the tag, but I was just curious, as I don't personally see anything wrong with it. Valtoras (talk) 03:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- Somehow I don't see somebody typing Zomg or zomg in order to get to the Administrator's Noticeboard/Incidents section. It just doesn't seem very plausible to me that having such a redirect page makes sense. Since it falls under such criteria, I took the liberty of placing the tag on a page that wasn't very useful.
- However, I did take a look at your contributions, and your edits certainly appear to be made in good faith, so this isn't any real negative reaction to your editing.
- Welcome to Wikipedia. :) scetoaux (talk) (My contributions.) 03:10, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! :D Valtoras (talk) 03:12, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Please help
Hi can you please help me. I would love to have userboxes on my user page which I have no clue how to do it. Many thanks in advance!XxtruemoxX (talk) 23:38, 10 March 2008 (UTC)XxtruemoxX

Your question about Twinkle
I answered your question regarding the use of Twinkle at Clpo13's RFA. I hope it's satisfactory. If not, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Useight (talk) 23:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- OK. Thank you. scetoaux (talk) (My contributions.) 23:54, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
You mentioned that you voted neutral because Aleta has only beed editing for 2 months. It was me (the nom) who has been editing for 2 months. She has been editing since 2006. I'm not trying to get you to change yout vote, just explaining that you're mistaken about her experience. Thanks. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 23:53, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- I noticed. Sorry about that. My vote has changed. scetoaux (talk) (My contributions.) 23:54, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
RfA analysis
I've added some code to your userpage to add the RfA analysis - it uses {{hidden}} for the show/hide box. --h2g2bob (talk) 18:17, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I missed that. Sorry. Anyways, I uploaded a cropped version here - Milk's Favorite Cookie 19:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Kurt Weber
It's not worth replying to his RfA cut and paste oppose. He posts the same message at every single self-nom RfA and he never actually checks out whether the editor is worthy. Just ignore what he says. The 'crats do. Enigma msg! 00:00, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Size username
I've been over at RfA today and your username size does rather...stand out some. It's kind of obtrusive IMO. Just asking if you'd please give some consideration to shrinking it down a bit as its quite a distraction. Anyway, its no big deal and I'm not gonna be on your case about it. Enjoy ya break. All the best, Plutonium27 (talk) 15:33, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank you for your support in my RFA. The final vote count was (73/3/1), so I am now an administrator. Please let me know if at any stage you need help, or if you have comments on how I am doing as an admin. Have a nice day! :) Aleta Sing 17:19, 22 March 2008 (UTC) |

I was away on Easter vacation. If you're still interested, I'll consider. If not, good luck with whomever you choose :) - Revolving Bugbear 20:04, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar | |
| Is awarded to Scetoaux for their admirable contributions to fighting the ever continuing onslaught of the vandals here on Wikipedia. Keep up the Good work! Mifter (talk) 00:48, 26 March 2008 (UTC) |
I saw you doing a bit of vandal fighting when you beat me to a vandal reversion :P, so I decided to give you a barnstar :). Congrats on your new barnstar :),--Mifter (talk) 00:48, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Userbox
I saw on your user page that you were a Cadet Chief Master Sergeant in the Civil Air Patrol, so I went out and found that someone (not me) had made a bunch of Civil Air Patrol user boxes, so I looked and I found the one that was equivalent to your rank.
To add this to your user page paste this code {{User:UBX/AFauxc9}}
Result
 | This user is a Cadet Chief Master Sergeant in the U.S. Civil Air Patrol. |
Thanks,--Mifter (talk) 00:58, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
I've replied to you...

Cessna Citation CJ1
I had just merged the Cessna Citation CJ1 to Cessna CitationJet, but forgot to put in the redirect tag. I came back two minutes later, and saw you had marked it for deletion. In the case of merged content, the original page is not to be deleted so that the history can remain, and for GFDL purposes. I don't know the exact policies on this, but that is what I have been told by admins in similar situations. You might want to ask an admin to double-check on this, but I'm pretty sure my memory is correct on this. - BillCJ (talk) 03:35, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. I've seen you around, and noticed you are asking for admin coaching, and this is something I felt you ought to know. Glad to se you realized what was going on on your own. that's a good sign if you're thinking about adminship - you can spot your own mistakes! :) - BillCJ (talk) 03:48, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
coaching
You appear to be relatively new, active for about two months. That's not actually a problem, but it sort of influences the way we might go about a coaching.
If you are interested in becoming an admin, what you will need most is simply time, activity, and exposure. You will want to become familiar with the many ins and outs of Wikipedia. There are many things to learn about administrative responsibilities and privileges, but there are many, many more to learn simply about the way things go on Wikipedia. Sometimes you can even things about the way things don't work.
What I would suggest, then, is more of a medium-term mentorship-style coaching. I would be more than happy to do this with you. It would consist of admin topics and just general Wikipedia topics. This is not, of course, to imply that your relative newness means you "need instruction" in the ways of Wikipedia, but there are some things that you will simply come to appreciate and be more comfortable with over time. Most of what admins do stems directly from general Wikipedia ideas anyways.
In a couple of months, if all goes well, you'll be amply prepared to tackle adminship.
How do you feel about this idea? - Revolving Bugbear 17:51, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- By the way, I've watchlisted your talk page, so we can consolidate the conversation here, if you want, or keep going back and forth -- doesn't matter to me. - Revolving Bugbear 17:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- I think it's a good idea, and it's pretty much what I was preparing to do anyway. I didn't expect to be able to go for RfA any time soon... I'm thinking late July at the earliest, to be honest. But that idea definitely works for me. — scetoaux (T/C) 19:04, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Recent Rfc
I looked at the Rfc very briefly, and think it was a little premature. You may wish to keep the links and stuff you used in the Rfc outside of Wikipedia, but it might be a good idea to request an admin to delete the Rfc in its entirity. Ncmvocalist (talk) 19:17, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Your navigation bar
I like your navigation bar. Do you mind if I use it and modify it for my own userpage? — scetoaux (T/C) 21:22, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Go right ahead! What i stated Over Here is still valid. :) Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 21:25, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! :) — scetoaux (T/C) 21:34, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Rather disappointed
I have tried to be reasonable over the RfC that you saw fit to raise against me, but I really do think that your recent comments are pushing things just a little too far. [1] Whatever differences you may have with any other editor in no way justifies your attitude towards me, or your decision to initiate an RfC. I am rather disappointed that you have allowed yourself to lapse into the same kind of incivility that you have so recently condemned in others. My RfC is about my behaviour; how anyone else may choose to behave is a matter entirely for them, and in no way justifies your own behaviour, or reflects on mine. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 05:19, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Really?
You of course know my poistion over the RfC, so forgive my intrusion and I hope you don't perceive my post here as "clouded" in bias. However, I've seen your recent changes to keep the RfC going. The RfC, to date, has nearly unanimously been labelled as an overreaction or wrong venue, including a retraction by yourself. What good will come of keeping this open? What is Malleus' "continued behavior"? (from your edit summary). I'm asking honestly and assuming good faith. You and I seemed to be able to have a civil conversation even though we disagreed strongly. What's the difference here? What has Malleus done or not done to since the RfC to merit a retraction of your retraction? I've read his post here, and your reply on his talk. I'm not seeing any incivility. What are you hoping for? Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:23, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry for butting in, but Scetoaux, some genuinely friendly advice.... just drop it, man. Just... let it go. This seriously isn't worth the time, stress, and possibly future ramifications for your upcoming RfA. I understand you don't like MF, that's fine. But just because he isn't "civil" doesn't mean you have to go for his throat. This isn't a classroom, where we all have to behave like model citizens. There will be some "fuck yous" because we're adults with strong opinions and it's going to happen. Tan | 39 19:38, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Congratulations, it now never happened. What the hell were we talking about? I can't remember. I'm gonna go work on Landing at Kip's Bay. Tan | 39 20:27, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Officially deleted
The RfC is officially deleted as uncertified (see my post on the Bureaucrats' noticeboard). I wish you well, Sce-to-Aux, I sincerely hope there are no hard feelings. The irony (from my point of view) in all of this, is that my first experience with Malleus was eerily similar to yours, and I told him so. I hope that you and I will be able to see eye to eye as co-editors of this wacky website. (I'm not planning on leaving, and I hope you don't either.) Let me know if there is ever anything you ever need help with, I'll be glad to be of assistance. Cheers, and happy editing, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 20:55, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, trust me, I don't plan on leaving. :) The reason I edit on Wikipedia is simply because I enjoy doing so. I wouldn't let something like this get me so upset that I'd leave. A lot would have to happen before I'd even consider it. And I definitely feel that I've learned from this experience. — scetoaux (T/C) 20:58, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- That's good to hear. Let me know if you ever need anything. I've got the all powerful block buttons, for instance...:-). Cheers, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 21:00, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks :)
For reverting vandalism on my userpage. It doesn't go unappreciated :) Steve Crossin (talk to me) 18:33, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. :) I'm just RC patrolling at the moment. — scetoaux (T/C) 18:35, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey!
Thank you for fixing some obvious mistakes on my Zane Floyd article. I'm quite new to the article creation process, so I don't know a lot of the shortcuts. Regardless, thank you for your kind help. Tribulation725 (talk) 03:06, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Using the honorific "the Prophet"
Please read WP:MOSISLAM before continuing to edit the encyclopedia. It is against wiki policies to use honorifics such as "prophet". Also you reverted back into what is supposed to be an encyclopedia that the quran "is the revealed word of Allah".
This is not language used by a rational scietific individual now is it? I suggest you read up on wiki policy as described above and revert yourself. Sharif Abdul (talk) 19:41, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

The Resilient Barnstar | |
| I'm very impressed with you and your willingness to see reason. I'm glad that you and I have been able to resolve our personal differences regarding an unfortunate turn of events and difference of opinion in RfC. I look forward to working with you anytime! This is only the third or fourth barnstar I've ever taken the time to deliver, but you've earned it! Cheers! Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 21:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC) |
- Glad you appreciated the barnstar. I didn' receive a single BS until after I was admin, thought you might appreciate one. Let me know if you ever need anything, I'll be happy to help you out. Cheers, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 23:45, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
