| - | :::''Here is the relevant text from that page:''<small><blockquote>Becoming an admin, as they're also called, is a good goal to have, but it doesn't happen overnight. Basically, you start out at the bottom of the totem pole, and work your way up. Over time, people will begin to notice your edits; you'll want to make good ones. If you do, gradually a sense of trust will develop between you and the wiki community. In the meantime, fight [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|trolls]], add good [[stuff|fun facts]], [[Special:Recentchanges|monitor]] pages for bad edits, help out with the maintenance of the site, learn the ins and outs of the software. Undertake a worthwhile project (but ... it's best to get approval before doing so). Then, sometime in the future, the current admins will open the floor for nominations for new sysops, at which time another user can throw your name in the ring. Then, we'll all vote on you. They probably won't nominate new admins for a while, and when they do, maybe you'll be nominated, maybe not. Either way, keep on keepin' on making good edits and building up that trust. It's just that simple!</blockquote></small>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | ::I'm glad you posted that, It's dot com, because it's a good explanation! Definately monitor for edits, learn to recognize good and poor edits, and always be diplomatic in discussions. Undertaking worthwhile projects (with wiki-approval first) is a great way to contribute and be noticed. To all of this, I would add that you should think about why you want to become an administrator. If you want to be an administrator to have more power, that's the wrong reason. It's about responsibility, not power, and it sometimes involves doing unpleasant things. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:46, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

| |
| - | I noticed [[#the right STUFF|over a month ago]] (when I checked out some of the other pages on your server) that you had a different (i.e. real) name, but you never commented on it so I didn't press it. Why the sudden switch? Just curious. (Amanda is a very lovely name. It will be hard, though, to get out of the habit of typing "reply for Aurora".) Is this why you recently started going by "Homestar Coder" in your sig?<br />

| - | :Aurora Szalinski was my internet persona name for years, and I've just grown tired of it. I kept using it because it was convenient; "Aurora Szalinski" is NEVER taken as a username, and I had some pride in having a unique username that nobody else on the Internet has ever used (at least according to Google). But I prefer my real name to Aurora and I don't like that people tend to associate my Internet name with a stupid fairytale princess. I've decided to switch over from my old pseudonym, and that is indeed why I changed my sig. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:18, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I also haven't made up my mind up the new ''Family Guy'' season, but the original three seasons just ''kill'' me. I have to quote this, because I'm literally laughing right now just thinking about it:<blockquote><small>'''Peter:''' Hey, is the Count a vampire?<br />'''Brian:''' What's that?<br />'''Peter:''' Well he's got these big fangs. Have they ever shown him doin' somebody in and then feedin' on em?<br />'''Brian:''' You're, you're asking me if they've ever done a ''Seseme Street'' in which the Count kills somebody and then sucks their blood for sustenance?<br />'''Peter:''' Yeah.<br />'''Brian:''' No, they've never done that.</small></blockquote>

| |
| - | Hi there Homestar Coder. When you made the [[Template:talktobedeleted|talktobedeleted template]], was your intention what is described on the [[:Category:To be deleted]] page?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:09, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)
| |
| - |
| |
| - | :Nope. The idea was a template that can go on the talk page of an ''article'' which is going to be deleted, so people know what the conversation is about... The intention stated on "Category: To be deleted" is also valid, but I would have reworded the template more (talktobedeleted says "This article is pending deletion...). Should I create a new one that says "This talk page is pending deletion", or what? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 03:40, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)
| |
| - |
| |
| - | ::Yeah, that's what I figured. No, I don't really think we need a seperate template for the deleting of talk pages. I could see where the confusion arose though, since the two templates share the category.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 04:24, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)
| |
| - |
| |
| - | :::Did we ever figure out a better wording for the template? I just changed it to "The article this talk page accompanies is currently pending deletion"? It doesn't sound too good, but I wanted to clear that up, along with the instructions on the [[:Category:To be deleted]] page. What do you think?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:06, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)
| |
| - |
| |
| - | ::::I think the new wording clears it up, but I think we should have another template to use to signal that we are pending deletion on the talk page and not the article. Like when an anonny creates a talk page like, "Home* Runnuw Rulez!"
| |
| - |
| |
| - | :::::I think the tobedeleted template works well enough for that. I don't really worry about the link to the Talk:Talk: page.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:34, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)
