for your newly cleaned up page. :D Good to see your comments at AfDs.

@DBigXray: I've long felt that my talk page had an excess of class, and that it prevented my sarcasm from suitably manifesting itself on Wiki. Nosebagbear (talk) 22:13, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

• haha, would love to see more of your witty side around. also I suggest using Auto WP:Archive, thats a menial job best left for bots to take care of, anyway its your call. cheers. --DBigXray 22:16, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
• The comment above was due to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tishnagi and yes i did read the translation. :DDBigXray 11:22, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

• @DBigXray: indeed! Though this AfD's most recent comment that I've just replied to is its own interesting argument Nosebagbear (talk) 11:35, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

		The Guidance Barnstar
		Of all the people I worked with creating my first article, you were the most helpful. At times, I felt like other editors didn't bother to listen to my questions and concerns. However, I felt you exemplified the guidance in WP:DNB and WP:EQ. Because of your efforts and approach, I am a much more confident and engaged Wikipedian. Thank you very much for your effort! Jonkatora (talk) 19:31, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

@Jonkatora: - cheers, you're welcome. Remember The Teahouse is where many of the most helpful, (far more than I!), and very patient, wikipedians spend their time, which includes helping with new articles and the endless morass of wiki's policies. I still use it a few times a month when I get stuck. Nosebagbear (talk) 19:36, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

sarcasm fair play

Thank you for quality articles around h2g2, Fairness Project, for Rugby players such as Max Malins, for gnomish work, for reviewing article for creation and deletion, for manifested sarcasm ("awesome Bitch-slap edits"), - witty sloth, you are an awesome Wikipedian!

		The Cleanup Barnstar
		For giving new life to Model United Nations by cleaning up clutter that had accumulated, unchecked, over several years. In my mind you made one of the most, if not the most meaningful series of contributions to the article. Thank you for taking the time! Pilaz (talk) 21:30, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

@Pilaz: - thank you, that's really appreciated! - I invested a staggering amount of time into the activity and it's nice to see the article as a more helpful guide than that much promo. I also commend you on your efficiency, I didn't even have to move my barnstar! ;) Nosebagbear (talk) 21:46, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

@Nosebagbear: My pleasure, haha! Cleanup in my view takes more time than adding more material, so yeah very much needed. :D Hope you'll keep contributing to that page and the list of Model United Nations conferences page!

Your GA nomination of Fairness Project

The article Fairness Project you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Fairness Project for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

This has been long due. Thanks for being such an amazing all round contributor. --DBigXrayᗙ 17:31, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

This editor is a Veteran Editor II and is entitled to display this Bronze Editor Star.

@DBigXray: - that's very appreciated, though I feel a bit ridiculous claiming my technical length as an editor - 18 months ago I'd only made about 150 edits! But I was really happy to get my GA, I'd fallen a bit away from content creation so it was nice to do some more. Nosebagbear (talk) 17:55, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

I would not worry about technicalities. It's hard to stay away from Wikipedia even if you are not editing, unless ofcourse you are in a cave, (in that case, you will have better things to worry about). IMHO, you have already compensated the years with your edit counts. So be proud. I had read your recent rfa votes and was glad to see us sitting on the same side  of the fence, no matter which. Shows that we think similarly. Congratulations on your GA. It makes you a step ahead of me since I am yet to get one. I will be glad to collaborate if you find yourself overwhelmed with a GAR. Cheers. --DBigXrayᗙ 18:11, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

You are now an administrator

Pursuant to your successful request for adminship, you are now an administrator. I took the opportunity to review the major points of opposition. The founded concerns largely centered around your understanding of policy and experience in dispute resolution and content creation spheres. Please be sure to consider and address these concerns as you step into your new role. I would also encourage you to review the Wikipedia:Administrators' guide and subscribe to the administrators' newsletter. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions! Happy adminning, –xeno^talk 19:32, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Congrats! As the person who is the second newest sysop there are no doubt many others who can offer you better help and advice but if I can be of any assistance you know where to find me. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:35, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

@Barkeep49: Thank you thrice over - for your support in the RfA, but also your warming words 2 days ago and for your offer above. You also win a cookie for your spot on estimate. Nosebagbear (talk) 19:53, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

• Nosebagbear, if you'd like some practice with Special:UserRights/Nosebagbear, you can remove the redundant userrights on your account. –xeno^talk 19:39, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Your RFA

Welcome to the admin corps.CAPTAIN RAJU^(T) 19:42, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks!

• Thank you all! Right now, I want to thank each group in my RfA: those who showed such a level of trust; but also those that opposed or balanced the two - none of the objection points in my RfA are disputable - they all state clear issues to work on. Which I shall.

I've created a lessons learnt (and to to be learnt) page that I hope to work on in the next couple of days. I may pester a couple of hopefully willing volunteers for some specific help on that, and a few more when I actually turn to mopping.

It might be a little delayed - my next 4 days involve a family wedding, a piece of minor surgery, and me moving house. Thus making it the 11 days I'm most likely to turn into a film. Thanks again, all! :) Nosebagbear (talk) 19:46, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

I also conducted an RFA post-mortem, feel free to adapt the structure for your own. –xeno^talk 19:53, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

@Xeno: - that's excellent, thank you, should make it much clearer Nosebagbear (talk)

@Nosebagbear: Congratulations on adminship. You will do great with the mop. I hope to see you around and work with you. AmericanAir88^(talk) 20:34, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks @AmericanAir88:, and thank you for your question Nosebagbear (talk) 20:43, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

This is good news on which to end my wiki-day! Welcome to the ranks of the mop-handlers! Yunshui ^雲_水 21:21, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

A belated congratulations

		The Admin's Barnstar
		Well done on gaining the bit, Nosebagbear, and welcome to the admin corps. I did oppose, but only on WP:NOTQUITEYET grounds, and obviously the community disagreed so I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine and hopefully no hard feelings. If you need any advice or tips from me, don't hesitate to let me know. All the best  — Amakuru (talk) 10:07, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

@Amakuru: - thank you! No hard feelings, as well as being legitimate, the oppose list was also generally amazingly pleasant. I definitely plan to reach out to a few of the opposes after I've done a first draft of my washup. Currently moving house so lots of juggling atm! Nosebagbear (talk) 16:08, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

RfA WashUp v1.0 Done

I've just concluded a first draft of my RfA consideration of lessons learnt and lessons to be learnt.

I've covered 4 main issues and some early stage thoughts on what I can do. Please feel free to either just comment on it directly, or here, or by email.

Thank you again to those who provided areas to look at and to those who gave some advice on how to go about doing that.

Nosebagbear (talk) 22:58, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Plus for having a thoughtful user page. (Even if it contains a typo which drives me crazy.) Gog the Mild (talk) 12:47, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks @Gog the Mild:! Now i've spent 5 minutes checking it over and I can't see the typo which is irking me greatly - I've clearly bedded it into my memory. What is it? Nosebagbear (talk) 12:58, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

I even put the same typo into my message. You need to close the bracket after "(Interesting AfC Graph". (If I was being really picky, "interesting should start with an 'i'. That early exposure to GoCE went deep!) I didn't mean to irk you, but it is surprising how difficult it is to check one's own work. I am rubbish at it. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:03, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

@Gog the Mild: - well now I've had to misbehave and refactor your comment (after deciding that since you'd written the entire sentence in a bracket, the grammar should also be inside). I've closed that bracket, but decided that the "Interesting" was part of a title...and I really disagree with the use of sentence capitalisation on Wikipedia! Nosebagbear (talk) 13:10, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Ha, ha! ANI for you then. Don't get me started on capitalisation. As I wrote a little while ago elsewhere "Arguing with Wikipedians about grammar is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be—or to be indistinguishable from—self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free time." I go with the "I am only following policy" defence. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:21, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Some falafel for you!

Enjoy the holiday season, and thanks for your work to maintain, improve and expand Wikipedia. It's been a wild year, and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your contributions and for the role you play in making Wikipedia as good as it can be. It was a pleasure interacting with you this year. I'm glad that I got to know you this year-- you're doing great work here, and are someone I look up to.

DYK for Jim Drucker

On 15 September 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jim Drucker, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Jim Drucker, the founder of the world's largest online-only comic bookstore, was also the commissioner of both the Continental Basketball Association and the Arena Football League? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jim Drucker. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Jim Drucker), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
