I forgot to say, Monty, you really do want to take the admin school course. It is pretty good and will get you a solid start. All those new buttons are a bit intimidating at first. Would hate to see you accidentally block Jimbo on your first day with the new mop.

"Playing for West Ham United, a professional football team in the top national league is a claim of importance, may even be enough for notability"

That's not true. In order for the page to be enough for notability, a player has to play in either a fully pro match (which he hasn't), a competitive cup match that features two fully pro teams (which he hasn't) or a full international match (which he hasn't). If a player hasn't done that, it fails WP:NFOOTBALL. More importantly, the player doesn't have significant coverage so it fails WP:GNG. – Michael (talk) 00:47, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

I probably should not have mentioned notability, as its not actually part of the analysis for CSD A7. The criteria for surviving a CSD A7 nomination is that an article make "any credible claim of significance or importance", while being notable counts, so do things far short of being notable. In my opinion, being a member of a professional team counts as a claim of importance. While its true that such team members may or may not be notable, its an indication that deliberation is needed. I wasn't trying to make a formal claim that the subject was notable in my edit summary, only that he could well be if someone researched it. It sounds like you have, and if in your opinion he is not notable, then taking it to AfD as you have done is entirely appropriate. Monty845 01:38, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
OK, so I may have faulted right there. Even with my experience I sometimes do have a knack for making a lot of mistakes. – Michael (talk) 03:08, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Feedback response guidelines

Hi Monty, congrats on adminship! Would you mind having a look through the feedback response guidelines. I'm think it might be worth starting and RFC to adopt sometime soon they have been stable for a bit now and I think they're ready. What do you think? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:20, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

While I'm sure the guidelines will continue to evolve, I think they are stable enough that it is probably time to try a guideline promotion RFC and see how it goes. I doubt waiting will improve the chances much. Monty845 23:47, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

You might possibly feel good

THUMBS UP AWARD

knowing that you have received the seldom coveted THUMBS UP AWARD for coming to the aid of a stricken fellow editor at the Sculptors Guild article. The editor in question promises to (1) learn something from the experience and (2) pass on the good turn to another editor, at sometime, at some place. Life is good, Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 03:57, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

thanks

Thanks for your concern :)

you posted this template on my talk page:

== December 2012 ==
Hello. It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on biased users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Rescue list (2nd nomination). While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Misplaced Pages's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Monty845 20:24, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

This was in regards to the below post, which quotes Misplaced Pages:Canvassing:

==Misplaced Pages:Article Rescue Squadron/Rescue list (2nd nomination)==
You are getting this alert because you participated in Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Rescue list
Misplaced Pages:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:Article_Rescue_Squadron/Rescue_list_(2nd_nomination) is now up for deletion.
Per Misplaced Pages:Canvassing:
An editor who may wish to draw a wider range of informed, but uninvolved, editors to a discussion might place a message at one of the following:
...On the talk pages of concerned editors. Examples include editors who have participated in previous discussions on the same topic (or closely related topics...The audience must not be selected on the basis of their opinions—for example, if notices are sent to editors who previously supported deleting an article, then identical notices should be sent to those who supported keeping it. (emphasis my own).

thank you for your notice. Spoildead (talk) 20:27, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

You intentionally selected a group of editors who would be biased in the way you wanted. That you send it to the whole set of such editors does nothing to change that it WAS canvassing, and your messages only shows that you knew in advance it would be considered canvassing by many. That you went ahead anyway is WP:POINTY at best, if not outright disruptive editing. Monty845 20:31, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited John Boyd (military strategist), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page F-X (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:16, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

User:Negerjavlar

I see that you blocked Negerjavlar. Can I recommend that you also remove his edits to Tom Hardy from public view because he inserted several inappropriate images to it. JDDJS (talk) 21:03, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Done, there were some other pretty disruptive edits, but I'm not sure if the other ones (that you didn't ask about) rise to the level of deserving a revdel. Monty845 21:07, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Rangers Articles

Hiya,

the user is determind to push there own point of view and persue there own agenda, they are just ingore all attempts at engagement to use the talk pages, the problems resolves around the rangers f.c. article and all the problems that have swirled form there, consensus was formed and backed up with reliable sources that for now the club has not been liquidated but opposing fans think truth matters because some label it as new club, i woulkdnt normally do that but the user is determine to push there own agenda i will sotp reverting as i know i have borke 3rr but i done it in believe the user is being disruptive and pushing there own agenda that why i reported the userAndrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 20:58, 9 December 2012 (UTC)


sorry madea spellign error should have said not instead of nowAndrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 21:00, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

I understand the frustration when an editor just refuses to listen, but edit warring is almost never the solution. (Unless its a really bad BLP violation) If the editor resumes after the 3rr block expires, raise it at one of the noticeboards so that we can deal with the conduct problem, but don't resume reverting. Monty845 21:02, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
no problem seems they might have made a new account user:TimBhoy you might want to look into that as the edit is the excately the same, ill let badsynergy to leave the page alone as well as they have probally breeched 3rr toAndrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 21:05, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

3rr on History of Rangers F.C.

Right I'll stop reverting I did request temp full protection on that page which might be necessary seeing as he made clear to me he will just keep creating new accounts to make changes. BadSynergy (talk) 21:10, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

I've blocked the first sock, will see how long it takes them to evade the Misplaced Pages:Autoblock. Monty845 21:12, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
