== Adminship page ==


[[Image:718smiley.png]]
Saw [[User:RyRy5/Admin|this]] page and just wanted to give you a nudge about some numbers. You will want to show collaboration and work with the main_talk, wikipedia, and wikipedia_talkspaces as well, it shows good group and dispute resolution skills (the two talkspaces) and familiarity with our best practices and policies (the wikipediaspace). You want to have a good distribution across most of the namespaces (main, user, wikipedia, and image. The Mediawiki-space, being the software interface, is generally left alone). You would do well to emphasize quality of edits as opposed to number, as well. Just hoping you get on the right footing for this, and to let you know that while i endorsed the deletion of your adoption program, it wasnt anything against you as a user per se. :) --<u>[[User:AKMask|<font color="000000">M</font>]]<small><sup>[[User talk:AKMask|<font color="000000">ask?</font>]]</sup></small></u> 02:37, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

::Great userpage designer. But heres a tip: If you are considering adminship, edit the mainspace more. P.S.

== New userpage ==

RyRy, I really think it looks good. If you enjoy doing that sort of work, have you thought about getting involved in portals? Portals design good-looking layouts for groups of similar interests, and it's a much needed area for help. - <font style="font-family: Papyrus, sans-serif"><font color="#775ca8">[[User Talk:Philippe|Philippe]]</font></font> 03:02, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

== User talk templates ==

Hi. When you're adding a standard warning template to user talk as in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:69.49.42.42&oldid=203600493 this example], please remember to add "subst:" to the template. For example <nowiki>{{subst:uw-test1}}</nowiki>. [[WP:SUBST]] gives additional info on this. Thanks! --- [[User:Taroaldo|Taroaldo]] ([[User talk:Taroaldo|talk]]) 03:30, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
:I dont think its really nessesary for that template. <font face="High Tower Text" size="3px">'''[[User:Nothing444|<font color="red">Not</font><font color="orange">hing</font>]][[User talk:Nothing444|<font color="blue">4</font><font color="green">44</font>]]'''</font> 03:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
::Nothing444, please explain in detail how you arrived at that conclusion. -- [[User:Taroaldo|Taroaldo]] ([[User talk:Taroaldo|talk]]) 04:35, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

== Matter of form ==

I was looking at [[Special:Contributions/RyRyBot]]. While I can understand using the account to request a monobook clearing, it is generally considered extremely poor form to use a bot account to carry on a discussion as you did with [[User:Nothing444]]. Using a bot to make test edits in your userspace (to say perfect a signature or template) is fine, but using it to carry on a conversation with another user should be avoid. Thanks.

== Review thanks ==

Hi RyRy5, thanks very much for taking the time to review me, much appeciated! Best, [[User:PeterSymonds|PeterSymonds]] | [[User talk:PeterSymonds|<small>talk</small>]] 08:22, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

== User/Talk page design ==

I really admire your user & talk page. I hope you don't mind, but I created my own version of yours. I'm pretty sure it's Ok with you, right?--<font face="Edwardian Script ITC" size="3">[[User:RyRy5|RyRy5]] </font><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2"><sup>[[User Talk:RyRy5|Got something to say?]]</sup> </font> 02:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
: Sure is, i have no objections to people copying part or all of my user page. In fact i take doing that as a compliment, as it means people like the page i made :). The only things i would like to request (Though i don't insist on that) is that the little bar at the bottom of my main page is kept intact in some form that signals its an omega purple adaption. Again not insisting, just requesting. Oh, and in case you need a little help with customization of the template, drop a line; im happy to give a few pointers if you want to add your own colors, links or something like that :) [[User:Excirial|<font color="191970">'''Excirial''']]</font><sup> ([[User talk:Excirial|<font color="FF8C00">Talk</font>]],[[Special:Contributions/Excirial|<font color="FF8C00">Contribs</font>]])</sup> 09:07, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

::: *Nods* He asked [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Excirial/Archive_2#User:Jj137 permission] some time ago. There are actually several users i know of using my template; The majority asked if it was ok which i really appreciate. There are also several users that use the template without ever asking, but as long as they don't claim they made it, its a "Dully noted" for me. If someone would claim they made it themselves, well, i would be a lot less lenient about that i think :) [[User:Excirial|<font color="191970">'''Excirial''']]</font><sup> ([[User talk:Excirial|<font color="FF8C00">Talk</font>]],[[Special:Contributions/Excirial|<font color="FF8C00">Contribs</font>]])</sup> 21:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

== Mainspace ==

RyRy, I'm really pleased to hear that you're focusing on the mainspace. I think that's critically important, and it's at the core of what we do as an encyclopedia. I'm very pleased; thank you for letting me know. Please continue to keep me updated, and know that you can always ask me any questions that you have.

== Links ==

I noticed that you add a large number of links to Wikipedia articles. From looking at the links I get the impression that you do not contemplate your changes for a lot of time. I found links to synonyms (eg. [[Bank]]), links to words only marginally related to the article's topic (remember that [[WP:NOT#DICTIONARY]]) and worst of all, several changes in a section in [[Kate]] which was obviously vandalism. I wonder why you failed to noticed that, didn't you read the paragraph before changing it?

Please apply at least as much care to main space edits as you obviously do while editing your userpage. [[WP:NOT#MYSPACE]] --[[Special:Contributions/87.189.118.77|87.189.118.77]] ([[User talk:87.189.118.77|talk]])

== Your signature, take 2 ==

Have you noticed yet, that every single editor that you've encountered over the last few days, both admins and editors, have a signature that does ''not'' have a "font sixe" in the markup? Just wondering why, as a potential admin candidate, you insist on having a signature that is larger than everyone else's signature. Wondering if you would be willing, as a valued contributor to Wikipedia, to remove the "font size" from your signautre altogether and just let it be default size? Looking forward to your reply. [[User:Keeper76|<font color="#21421E" face="comic sans ms">Keeper</font>]] | [[User talk:Keeper76|<font color="#CC7722" face="Papyrus">76</font>]] | [[User:Keeper76#Origins of My Username|<font color="#ff0000"><small>Disclaimer</small></font>]] 00:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
:I didn't say you ''have'' to do anything. I was just wondering if you had noticed that every other editor, at least those that were considering adminship, as you are, do not have any "font" size as part of their signature. I'm not mad (and you said you weren't either, which is good), I was just wondering, that's all. I would strongly recommend that you get rid of any "size" portion of your signature, if you want to be taken seriously, that's all.

::Sure, I'll explain what I mean by "taken seriously". I think you are a good editor. If you were to run through "requests for adminship" right now, though, I personally think that you would find that you would have more opposers than supporters. Most ''successful'' RfAs are for editors that have A)been here for a while, and B)not been involved in major controversies, and C). Not been subject to deletion of their subpages, and D), have proven that they are here to make a better encyclopedia. I'm very glad you are submitting something for FA. That's a good sign! However, I am not convinced, based on your experience, that you would make a good admin candidate, or that you see Wikipedia in the right context. I believe, based on my experience, that you see Wikipedia as a social construct/place to meet friends. I don't see you contributing much to th ebetterment of the "book of free knowledge". Your "signature size" is a side issue, as far as I'm concerned, but at the same time, it's a distraction. Why, (and I've asked you this before), do you insist on having your signature "larger" than everyone else's? I'm baffled by this. I think, personally, that "size 3" is a compromise. At the same time, I strongly believe that you shouldn't care how big your signature is if you ''really'' care about the quality of Wikipedia. Why, if I may ask, do you feel that your signature, as a relatively new contributor to this place, should be bigger than everyone else's signature?

:No, I have no other comments. I think that you need to focus on Wikipedia, instead of Wikipedian editors, but you know that. Also, I think you should change your signature to not have any "size" parameter, and just let it be the same size as all the rest of the text. You are a good editor, and I'm glad you're here, regardless of our disagreements. I hope you will understand where I'm coming from. I don't want you to leave, I simply want you to fit in, and achieve the goals that you have said explicitly on your userpage that you want to achieve. Best of luck to you RyRy. I hope you simplify (make smaller) your signature, and I hope you stay on Wikipedia.

== Re: New design ==

I like it - it's certainly a lot more minimalist than what you had before. I'm glad to see you're focusing more on the mainspace and have struck up a rapport with Philippe and jj137, two very competent administrators who'll be able to guide you when necessary. You certainly have a lot of potential to become a really good editor here, and I'm pleased to see that you're taking steps to realizing it.

:I think you should stay away from FAC until you get a better understanding of it. First of all, it doesn't work on the traditional voting model; rather, people post concerns about the article's quality. If all significant concerns brought up are fixed, the [[user:raul654|featured article director]] will promote the article. Also, [[Jesus]] has a long way to go before it becomes a "finished" article, and the pace of growth looks slow to me for now. I'm afraid you may have caught the regular contributors to that article off-guard by submitting it to FAC so early.

==[[Jesus]] FAC withdrawn==
I appreciate you're acting in good faith but it's best if featured articles are nominated by people who have worked closely on them. This way they can give reasoned replies to reviewers and be familiar with the sources to make any suggested improvements. Someone who hasn't worked on the article can't provide this input, so the FAC rumbles on until the opposes become so overwhelming that the article is failed, taking a lot of reviewers' time. I suggest you first work an article up through [[WP:PR|peer review]] and [[WP:GAC|good article]] to prepare for [[WP:FAC]], and see the instructions at the top of [[WP:FAC]] regarding notification of principle editors before nomination.

== Controversial topics ==

One of the important parts of building an online encyclopedia is ensuring, as much as possible, that we don't offend people and that we represent a world view, not one that is specific to the country we are in. On your recent FA nomination of [[Jesus]] you suggested [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Jesus&diff=prev&oldid=204122656 a few things] that may not really fit in with these aims.

For instance, Jesus is clearly a controversial figure. Christian's believe he is the Son of God, etc, and to Christians Jesus is obviously an important figure. However, to claim that, and I quote, "''Jesus is a really special person around the world and in (most) peoples lives''" both shows a point of view and is not entirely accurate - for only around a quarter of people on this planet (and that's a generous percentage) identify as Christians.

So, globally, Jesus is not "a really special person around the world in (most) peoples lives". And as a global encyclopedia, we have to strive to reflect that. Thanks [[User:George The Dragon|George The Dragon]] ([[User talk:George The Dragon|talk]]) 02:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

== [[WP:OVERLINK]]ing ==

Hey, I noticed it looks like you're going down a list, getting involved in various things like featured article nominations, in an apparent preparation for being an admin. Adminship isn't something to prepare for, and it's not something you get after checking items off a list. I would advise you to take it slow and easy. Maybe get yourself adopted or otherwise find a mentor. Wikipedia is a big place and learning it takes time. Jumping into stuff like featured articles when there's still so much to learn may not be the best approach. Right now, being eager is one of your strongest qualities as an editor. But beware of being ''too'' eager. I noticed you've been asking for rollback, starting immediately after it was taken away. This is too eager, don't you think? You'll learn far better if you go at an appropriate pace, rather than jumping into a bunch of new things all at once. For adminship, I'd say put it out of your head for, say, a year- or maybe wait til your mentor nominates you, assuming you get a mentor. Instead of thinking you need to learn everything, focus on one or two things. Say, new pages patrol. I see you've already tagged some things for deletion, including a few successfully-deleted articles in just the last couple days. That's great; it's valuable work that needs done. It's a great way to learn what kind of content we can or cannot use. Anyway, I just wanted to pop in and say keep up the good work, but be careful of trying go too fast. You'll have a better time if you slow it down a bit. There is no race. [[User:Friday|Friday]] [[User talk:Friday|(talk)]] 02:12, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

:Also, be aware that you should never delete another editors' comments.

You're sure that he is a duplicate voter? By the way, next time you do, just replace the # sign with two colons, and leave a note underneath saying that you removed a duplicate voter. SandyGeorgia did that for you, it looks.

No problem. I was using an auto-tag script and it didn't catch an edit conflict. — [[User:Bob|Bob]] • ([[User talk:Bob|talk]]) • 04:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
:Indeed it is. I should consider pasting it on the [[WP:CSD]] page for community use, perhaps. It's just been sitting on my page for quite a while. — [[User:Bob|Bob]] • ([[User talk:Bob|talk]]) • 04:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

==List of Tabla Players==
I was trying to figure out how to link the Category:Tabla_Players page with the main wikipedia article on [[Tabla]]. Being unsuccessful earlier, I created the new page. However, this has been sorted out now. I have no problems if the new page is deleted. Thanks and sorry for the bother. I am a bit of a noob at wikipedia.

== Please stop offering to mentor other editors ==

Have you forgotten that your adoption program was deleted because you're not qualified to try to teach people about Wikipedia? You're a new editor yourself and you have much to learn. Please stop presenting yourself as an experienced editor and offering to teach others. You are not yet qualified for this type of job. [[User:Friday|Friday]] [[User talk:Friday|(talk)]] 01:19, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
:Actually, he is qualified, per [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adopter's Area|the criteria]].

::You say this because he has some number that is bigger than some other number? I believe a more detailed analysis is possible- in fact, a more detailed analysis has ''already happened''. See [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Template:User:RyRy5/Adoption Program]] where several editors rightly pointed out that RyRy is not qualified to adopt, and indeed was giving out bad advice.

== Some folks you might ask ==

Sure! I'd start with:
[[User:Ryan Postlethwaite]]
[[User:Alison]]
[[User:Yamla]]
[[User:FisherQueen]]
and [[User:SatyrTN]]

There are tons more that I trust implicitly, but these are the ones that I initially think would suit your personality best. Note that these are all very strong editors: they're going to be folks who set high standards and accept nothing else. Occasionally one or two of them can come off as abrasive, but they're almost never wrong. These are also folks with whom I feel free to disagree; they make solid policy based decisions. - <font style="font-family: Papyrus, sans-serif"><font color="#775ca8">[[User Talk:Philippe|Philippe]]</font></font> 02:43, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
