Re:Success in finding rare fact about Boeing 737!

Haha

That was funny, i was just looking at the diff of that edit, moved to next page, and has a message from you!

Certainly that is adding to Misplaced Pages, in a very good way!

Stuff such as that certainly does need references!

what a compliment! reproduced below

I'd encourage you to keep adminship in mind - I see you've already had need to report some vandals and have been involved in the occasional deletion discussion. You don't have to dedicate hours of your time to vandal reverting and deletion discussions to show people you could handle those areas if need be. And being willing to update protected pages like DYK is a very good reason to want to be an adminstrator. In a month or two, I think you could be in a position for a successful RfA if that was something you wanted to do. WjBscribe 21:00, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Expanded. Is that enough? I have a second example I could photograph and upload for the page. Durova 23:22, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Boeing 747 wins FA status

• Jeff and Archtransit, congratulations on Boeing 747 winning FA status. The FA star is now in place.--Dan Dassow (talk) 20:23, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Well done! 4u1e (talk) 01:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the huge input you made to achieve this! --JCG33 (talk) 20:37, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Header

Here is the page User:TonyTheTiger/Header_template. Look at the code. Then look at the code on User:TonyTheTiger which transcludes it. For revealing my trick I would appreciate it if you would consider looking at Misplaced Pages:Featured list candidates/List of United States business school rankings. I need one or two more supports.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 20:24, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Has been restored - must have read before/after in list as the sock, not this one. SkierRMH (talk) 02:09, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Keep up the good work with DYK management. :) Nishkid64 (talk) 04:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:Update

I have most of the aircraft article on my watchlist, its great to see all your activity and input!

One article i started to overhault was Fairchild-Dornier 728 family - is a set of big ish diffs.

Would be good to improve that further...

And also, Lockheed L-1011...

Dont really know what to do with them.. I get more involved with maintenance typ things...

On a side note, have you thought about trying out AutoWikiBrowser.. I think i've mentioned it before, but you'll certainly meet the edit count criteria if you wanted access..

DYK

DYK is often late. Another adminstrator who is interested in DYK would help. Would you like to be that new administrator? Mrs.EasterBunny (talk) 22:49, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Adminship

In my opinion you are ready. Were your RfA not to succeed it would probably be because people wanted you to have a little more experience in certain areas - a few more vandal reports, comments in a few more deletion discussions etc. But I think you've demonstrated in the contributions you have made in those areas that you understand the relevant policies. I think you'd make a good admin now and would encourage you to accept the nomination I've written. If it doesn't work out it's no bar to you asking again later but it would be silly for more time to pass with you not being able to complete those DYK updates if there's a strong chance (which I believe there is) that you could pass RfA now. The choice is ultimately yours though. If you do want to run, you need to accept the nomination, answer the option questions and list it at WP:RFA. WjBscribe 05:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Congrats. Wasnt expecting to see it come about so quickly, but you're certainly a prime candidate :) —Reedy Boy 18:06, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll do some "poking" for you ;) —Reedy Boy 18:10, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Archtransit, I apologise for any ill feeling I may have caused you in your RFA. I see that it'll pass anyway, but I still felt it necessary to voice my opinion, so to speak. I'm sure you'll be a great administrator, and I do wish strongly that you prove me wrong. The very best of luck, Rt. 20:59, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Would you, Rt, have been so quick to apologise if it hadn't looked like Archtransit's RfA might pass? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 21:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to intrude once more. — I don't understand. Rt. 21:44, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

There's a saying "don't kick a gift horse in the mouth". The point was made, I'll try to improve, neutral was withdrawn. I have no ill-will towards Rudget (Rt). Archtransit (talk) 21:50, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Just as a matter of interest though, for the sake of the general reader, how many !votes is the withdrawal of a neutral worth? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 02:59, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Recall

A real recall mechanism would require a great deal of discussion and consensus-building, it would take some time to come up with something usebale. This is not personal against you, at all, and please don't think it is. After all of the angst surrounding the recall of User:Mercury, I even opposed his RfA, although I thought he got a royal shaft out of the whole deal. I'm just waging a one-man campaign and probably crying in the wilderness, but the process needs to be codified. Corvus cornix_talk 22:01, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

OK, let me think about it, and I'll get back to you. Corvus cornix_talk 22:07, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

You're right, you are the only one.  :) And I appreciate that. I will get back to you, I just need to organize my thinking on the subject and put something down on ... em, electrons. Corvus cornix_talk 22:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

What you need to do is to think about whether you're opposing Archtransit's RfA, or a process that you don't agreee with. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 02:48, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
