Hey, Jusjih/Archives in May 2006, thank you so much for your vote and comments in my RfA, which passed with an overwhelming consensus of 95/2/2. I was very surprised and flattered that the community has entrusted me with these lovely new toys. I ripped open the box and started playing with them as soon as I got them, and I've already had the pleasure of deleting random nonsense/attacks/copyvios tonight. If I ever do anything wrong, or can help in some way, please feel free to drop me a line on my talk page, and I will do my best to correct my mistake, or whatever... Now, to that bottle of wine waiting for me...

Dear Jusjih/Archives in May 2006,

Thanks for voting on my RFA! I appreciate your faith in me, and was overwhelmed by the positive response to my RFA; for it shows that at least I'm doing something right. :) I've started working to improve myself already, and I hope that next time, things run better, and maybe, just maybe, one day we can bask on the shores of Admintopia together.

would like to note that I didnt apply for adminship yet so I will be removing your comment when I get around to it. Also note that my join date of wikipedia doesnt define my past experience; IE - editing newspapers before publication, or my interest in programming and HTML.

I got confused when I saw a page suggesting you applying for adminship while I found you from Special:Contributions/newbies. Your join date of Wikipedia doesn't define your past experience, but if you ever want to apply for adminship, most voters expect at least 2000 edits and 6 months here.--Jusjih 13:10, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-05-10T13:10:00.000Z","author":"Jusjih","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Jusjih-2006-05-10T13:10:00.000Z-Goonmaster-2006-05-09T19:58:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Thanks so much for voting! Thanks so much for voting on my request for adminship. I have decided to withdraw my nomination as it seems that consensus will not be reached. If you voted in support, thanks for putting your trust in me to be a good admin. If you voted in opposition, thank you as well for your constructive criticism as it will only help me be a better Wikipedian and perhaps help if/when I apply for adminship again sometime in the future.

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Hi there! Just letting you know that images with no source need not be placed on WP:IFD - they can just be tagged with {{subst:nsd}} and the uploader notified. Thanks for your help!

The template operates under the speedy criteria I6, which reads:

Missing fair-use claim. Any image tagged only with {{fairuse}} or {{Non-free fair use in}}, with no fair use rationale, may be deleted seven days after it was uploaded. Images uploaded before May 4, 2006 should not be deleted immediately; instead, the uploader should be notified that a fair-use rationale is needed. Images uploaded after May 4, 2006 can be tagged with {{subst:nrd}}, and the uploader notified with {{subst:missing rationale|Image:image name}}.

Image:Mergelogosmall.JPG was not tagged with either of those templates, therefore your use of the template was incorrect. The rationale for fair use is given in the logo template with which it is tagged, namely:

This is a logo of a corporation, sports team, or other organization, and is protected by copyright and/or trademark. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of logos

• to illustrate the corporation, sports team, or organization in question
• on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. Certain commercial use of this image may also be trademark infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Logos.

Looking at the image, and the article it is used in, I can't see why this does not constitute fair use. If you disagree, perhaps you would care to add to the rationale already provided?

• • I'm sure you didn't mean to suggest I don't take copyright violation seriously, and I hope you also appreciate the differences in French and US law. The use of the template is incorrect per the fact that it invokes a speedy deletion clause which does noty apply in the instance you used it. I would hope you can acknowledge the fact that that image should not have been placed in a speedy deletion category, which is what you did through your action in placing that template.

• • • Again, I can only point you to the speedy deletion criterion. I would therefore argue that the burden of proof is on you to show me how this meets any of the speedy deletion criteria. I do not dispute what you did and why, I only point out that you were incorrect in doing so. The template, I agree, is unclear in its wording, but I hope you agree that the speedy criteria is absolutely clear and is the final statement with regards policy. The image cannot be speedily deleted, therefore it should not be in the category, nor tagged with the template.

Thanks for voting in my request for administrator rights, even though it failed (13/30/4). Sadly, work has forced me to respond to you all using a substituted message rather than a personalized response. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that administrators, to me, should be chosen and approved by the community, and I will continue working to become a better editor and Wikipedian.

Adverts: Like The Beatles?... Like LEGO?... In a WikiProject that classifies?... Are you an accountable admin?... Got DYK?...

Hi. In conjunction with my RfA (that you voted on), I have created an editor review, to give people a chance to comment as to ways in which I can branch out or alter my contributions to Wikipedia. An RfA seems to solely focus on how one's temperment and contributions relate to how they might handle administrative powers (and the consensus on that seems to be that I'm not quite ready); the editor review opens things up a little more to a larger focus, and I'd love to hear community feedback in the sense of that larger focus, too. If you feel you've already expressed yourself sufficiently when casting your vote, then by all means don't worry about it, but if any thoughts come to mind or if you'd like to expound upon any suggestions or commentary, it would be appreciated. In any case, I appreciated you taking the time to express your opinion on my RfA, and I thank you for that. — WCityMike (talk • contribs) 19:54, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-05-30T19:54:00.000Z","author":"WCityMike","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-WCityMike-2006-05-30T19:54:00.000Z-Seeking_Editor_Review_Commentary_(If_You_Like)","replies":["c-Jusjih-2006-05-31T13:27:00.000Z-WCityMike-2006-05-30T19:54:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hello. I have reviewed your request for editor review, but the only comments that I can think of now are that:

1. As most voters now consider that a candidate for adminship should have edited at least 2000 times for 6 months, you should generally consider reapplying after you have edited 2000 times, but I think that you need not edit your editing style with regard to namespaces. Most candidates with less experience have failed, unless they have some very outstanding factors.
2. Your recent edit summary usage is 85% for both major and minor edits. Please try to use summaries much more often (most successful adminship candidates have much higher usage) and consider going to "my preferences", then "Editing", and choose "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary", so should you try to save changes without an edit summary, including an accidental action, you will have a chance to add a summary.--Jusjih 13:27, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-05-31T13:27:00.000Z","author":"Jusjih","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Jusjih-2006-05-31T13:27:00.000Z-WCityMike-2006-05-30T19:54:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
