RFA

Hi! I just noticed that you have self-nominated for Administrator. Have you read WP:RFAADVICE? To become an admin you must show advanced knowledge of policies, processes, and have extensive experience on the project. For example, most admins require thousands of edits and at least a year of extensive editing history with a proper aptitude. Making a nomination too early in your Wikipedia career can actually hurt future attempts. Being an admin is difficult and serious business - I'm not trying to dissuade your editing of the project, but RFA is one of the embarassing processes that one can go through - if you're not properly positioned, and not properly aware of the requirements, it can be hurtful ES &L 12:39, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have closed your Request for Adminship early as unsuccessful - unfortunately it did not have a chance of succeeding. You simply do not yet have enough experience at present. I hope you decide to stick around and get more familiar with how Wikipedia works. WJBscribe (talk) 14:01, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cheer up mate, I am sure you'll be a sysop one day but till then keep on editing and if you've any problems bug me at my talk. Soham 17:12, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

RfA - tutorial

There is no tutorial for RfA. Becoming an admin should never be the one single objective for participating in Wikipedia; we are all primarily here to build an encyclopedia. Therefore the experience needed for doing admin tasks comes from regular editing of articles, and then after several hundred edits, perhaps looking out for vandalism and reverting it. To do that, when you have made at least 200 edits, you could consider enrolling at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn all about it. To know more about adminship and what is expected, you may wish to read WP:RFAADVICE - all of it - but you probably won't be ready to become an admin for quite a long time. Happy editing!

Speedy deletion nomination of Aharonz1/stress

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that the page you created was tagged as a test page under section G2 of the criteria for speedy deletion and has been or soon may be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. TheLongTone (talk) 19:37, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Judging from what you wrote on the talk page, you intended the page to be for your own personal use. Wikipedia is not a free web host for people to use for their own purposes, unrelated to work on the encyclopaedia. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:49, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Vandalism information

Please don't change the level at Template:Vandalism information. This is automatically kept up to date by a bot, and should not be changed to fit the subjective opinion of an individual editor. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:50, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bold not bolt!

Re this edit: the stuff you pointed out was obvious vandalism. Why did you not simply remove it instead of leaving a message about it? Please reply. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:11, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not make fun of my username. But you do have a point. But are you sure that it was vandalism instead of some newbie's mistake? I'll look into that. The Lightning Strikes! ^{Try me!} 10:11, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It does not matter whether it was vandalism or some newbie's mistake, it needed deletion.

And what on earth is this rubbish? A) you could not even link to the page in question - category:Wikipedia core topics (note the colon trick to refer to a cat rather than using it), b) you have never touched that page and c) Wavelength's edit was OK - the bad one was done by Innocent Pierre MUNYANKINDI (talk · contribs).

We could argue all day about whether the latter is a vandal or not. Clearly they are a clueless newbie because they thought this is a social networking site. Putting their bio in the wrong place: you call it cluelessness - I calls it vandalism. (I hesitate to say that it is debatable whether your message to Wavelength is cluelessness or trolling.) — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:26, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have a little something to say about your points. A) I noticed that. I tried to fix it, but I must have forgot to save the page. B) Uh, yeah. I knew that. But that's what the template said, so what could I do? C) Not really. Wavelength actually improved it. I'm starting to think that maybe they are sock puppets. Uh, the edit he made is on a totally different page. We're talking about Category:Wikipedia core topics. He made both, actually, but WHY was it signed with Wavelength's sig? P.S.
