RfA[edit]

Hi Crystal Whacker! Thank you very much for your support and warm comments in my RfA, which passed yesterday. I hope not to let you and the others down and use the tools for the benefit of the project. On a side note, I apologize if my RfA caused you problems with other users—hopefully nothing serious! Cheers, Ynhockey ^(Talk) 19:56, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Garnet[edit]

Hello, I just completed a re-work of the abrasive garnet section in the garnet article. Since you tagged it for cleanup, I thought you could take a look. If you want to comment, feel free to use the Garnet talk page or you can reply here and place the talkback template on my talk page. Theseeker4 (talk) 14:30, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dendodge's RfA[edit]

"WP:IAR is Jimbo's rule, and I didn't want to insult his judgment" irked—or at least stupefied—me, and I too saw viewed it as consistent with a certain tendency to hero worship (and the concomitant substitution of Jimbo's judgment [or a supposition of what that judgment might be] for one's own) the presence of which in a prospective admin should not be particularly comforting; it's a bit of an odd and indelicate inference to draw, though, and so I thank you for raising the issue in your !vote and letting me know that my sense on this one wasn't entirely afield. 68.249.6.56 (talk) 08:49, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Benson group increment theory[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Benson group increment theory, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

because anything that is "experimentally calculated" to avoid "tedious experimentation" must be suspect in the extreme

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

RfA thankspam[edit]

Thank you for your participation in my recent RfA, which failed with 61/52/7; whether you supported, opposed or remained neutral.

Special thanks go out to Wizardman and Malinaccier for nominating me, and I will try to take everyone's comments on board.

Thanks again for the trust the community has placed in me. A special Christmas song for you all can be found at the right hand side of this message!

Apologies if you don't like RfA thankspam, this message was delivered by a bot which can't tell whether you want it or not. Feel free to remove it. Dendodge Talk^Contribs, 17:21, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your rollback request[edit]

Hello Crystal whacker, I have granted your account rollback in accordance with your request. Please remember that rollback is for reverting vandalism/spam, and that misuse of the tool, either by revert-warring with other users, or simply reverting edits you disagree with, can lead to it being removed.

Sustainable biofuels[edit]

Thanks for reviewing. Have now done what I can to act on your recommendations and try to bring this article up to GA. Johnfos (talk) 01:13, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for completing this review. I have been through the GA process quite a few times but have seldom met a reviewer who has such a fine attention to detail as well as a good grasp of the bigger picture... And a willingness to go in and make improvements. Much appreciated! Johnfos (talk) 18:08, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
