[edit] Feedback!

Not that it will help that much! As a wiki wanderer I arrived here and dealt with some vandals and accidentally became an admin with much to learn - it's only recently I managed a deletion request without errors! I can tell you there are some great people here, that it is not like en wp (great) or en books (for me confusing, I nearly know what I'm doing there).

All the admins here really are very experienced and by and large very helpful indeed. They do have their own way of doing things but I find that on all wikis - if I could spell chameleon I'd say I'd try to be like one and fit in (firefox is so good at correcting me?). All that said if I can help here (or elsewhere) I always will, in part that is what admins are for in my mind </ramble>. Let me know if there is anything particular - cheers --Herby talk thyme 17:01, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Likely that you are being modest about your knowledge and talents :-) Good to know that there are many helpful folks around here as I'm sure I'll need much assistance as I learn the ways of this wiki. FloNight 11:10, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi there! :)

Welcome aboard, dear Flo!! :) Love you, Phaedriel - 19:33, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome. :-) FloNight 11:03, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the compliment, Flo. I knew that if I didn't do it, someone else would. ;-) --Ubiquity 22:00, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Hi there. Thanks for the warm welcome. Applew 13:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Year's resolution

Happy New Year! One of my New Year's resolutions is to finish Wikiquote:Bartlett's 1919 Index - but I can't do it alone. There are 234 red links for which articles need to be created, and 275 blue links for which articles need to be checked. Although I've been trying to get one done each day, lately I have not had time to do even that! Please consider making a commitment to help me keep my resolution by creating or checking one entry on this page per week. Help public domain quotes find their home in 2008! Cheers! BD2412 T 05:05, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Sounds like a good project. I'll pitch in and help as much as I can. Happy New Year to you. :-) FloNight♥♥♥ 19:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, looking forward to your help! BD2412 T 03:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Phil Esposito

It would have been really nice of you to drop a line telling you've nominated an article I've created for deletion. I discovered this by pure chance—and without notifying anybody who can fix an article with some issues, you're certainly making Wikiquote so much better. I have added two inspiring, and sourced quotes. I hope that will keep the article from being deleted. Maxim(talk) 23:36, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Hey~ I'm fairly new to Wiki in general and was wondering what you meant by: "housekeeping/author request type speedy" (here) Toushiro 23:55, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for your kind words supporting my nomination for adminship. I will try not to make a mess as I learn to use the tools. ~ Ningauble 02:46, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Jim Carrey

Thanks so much for the kind words. I actually agreed wholeheartedly with the points you made at the previous deletion discussion for the page - but then as part of my work on Comedy I wanted to turn redlinks blue and did some research to find some poignant sourced quotes by Carrey from interviews and such. Cheers, Cirt (talk) 00:17, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Guh?

So, after voting in your Wikisource confirmation, I just happened to look at your userpage (and only realized then that you were female, heh; I honestly hadn't given it much thought) and then, on a lark, looked at sulutil:FloNight. It was then, and only then, that I realized that you weren't a sysop here.

"Guh?" was my response, hence the subject line. :)

Have you thought about making a run for sysop here? I think you'd be a shoe-in. EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:40, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Do you think WQ needs more admins now? If so, then I will be happy to help. FloNight♥♥♥ 17:13, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Well, I'm of the opinion that we can [almost] never have too many sysops, especially ones that obviously know what they're doing. Besides, I'd rather you get the sysop bit and never need it than you needing to run to some sysop to just to take care of something. ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:34, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Okay. If you want to nominate me some time, I won't decline it. ;-) FloNight♥♥♥ 20:41, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Careful what you wish for... ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 23:02, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sysop status

Congratulations, you are now and administrator here. ~ Kalki 09:16, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. :-) FloNight♥♥♥ 12:23, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
"Thanks for volunteering to do more work." :P EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:25, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Congratulations, FloNight. :-) You'll do just fine as an administrator for our project now also. – RyanCross (talk) 16:32, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Congrats! Cirt (talk) 02:22, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Note: I moved your RfA to its own subpage, at Wikiquote:Requests for adminship/FloNight. Cirt (talk) 12:33, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Nathan Lane

I tagged Nathan Lane for deletion. If you are still interested in researching it, just remove the {{prod}}. ~ Ningauble 20:35, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Good catch. Prod is fine. I'd forgotten completely about it and don't have a strong interest in researching him. FloNight♥♥♥ 00:35, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Update: I did some research and cleaned up the page a bit, so I went ahead and removed the PROD. Cirt (talk) 13:22, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, Cirt. You are doing a great job saving content. :-) FloNight♥♥♥ 16:18, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome. :) Cirt (talk) 01:42, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] RfB thankspam!

Just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your support of my RfB, which just closed with unanimous support. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 19:19, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Recent VFDs

I fully support your recent nominations, but wondered if some of them (the ones that lack sources for the quotes) wouldn't be better as PRODs. I have been doing this for many pages with unsourced quotes - it is quicker and easier and we have established that if pages do not have sources, it is a no-brainer delete. Just some friendly advice. ~ UDScott 14:32, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Excellent! I was unclear if no sources had become an uncontroversial reason to delete since some of these entries have clean up tags added by established users. Late last year/early this year, most of these were still going to Vfd, I think. This will be much simpler. Thanks :-) FloNight♥♥♥ 15:51, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
