There is news

It appears you've been drafted, Mr. Xeno. Congratulations. — Coren ^(talk) 01:11, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations! Well deserved. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 01:22, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations from me as well! I look forward to working with you in the coming year. Kirill ^{[talk] [prof]} 01:36, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats on your strong showing. :) Amalthea 02:00, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations from me, too. Good to see that we've maintained the Canadian content requirements for Arbcom. ;-) Email en route to you. Risker (talk) 05:00, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Me too. Congrats :) Wifione _.......^{Leave a message} 10:20, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto the above, brilliant turnout. Hope you aren't feeling too sick with anticipation ;) - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 10:51, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh dear. My plan failed, and I've been taken up by the machine! Thanks for the well-wishes, all. –xeno^talk 13:35, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Its all downhill from here. ;) Syrthiss (talk) 13:40, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats Dude! :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 14:19, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More like a downward spiral, no? =) Thanks guys, –xeno^talk 22:16, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to see this (I mean, sad for you but happy for us). The Community^TM does occasionally get something right. In fact, with one exception in the in group and one exception in the out group, I'm amazed to discover The Community^TM and I agreed to an almost eerie degree. Makes me doubt my judgment a little bit... --Floquenbeam (talk) 14:59, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Appreciate the support =) –xeno^talk 22:16, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Another congrats! Pretty impressive support, and completely against the guide writers, too. Hope it isn't all too overwhelming. Jim Miller ^{See me | Touch me} 21:43, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If I were to hazard a guess, the main reason for the discrepancy is that I put very little effort into my statement & answers and basically just rested on my laurels. Those guide writers who were not familiar with my past efforts thus only had those lackluster morsels with which to make a recommendation. Unfortunately for me, it seems enough of the electorate trusted me to do the job nonetheless! –xeno^talk 22:16, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Exactly. Was surprised few of the guide writers understand your straight answers. I guess none of them watch your talk page. :-) Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 22:43, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

omg those robes are the nuts! Why didn't anyone tell me about the perks??? –xeno^talk 23:12, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with main image on Neo (Matrix)

I have tried to put a image I downloaded on the main image and now a IP editor has tried to as well but it is never visible. I am just curious to know what's wrong. − Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 16:26, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reason it wasn't working in the infobox was because there are two "image" parameters. The second one takes precedent, but is empty.

As an aside, perhaps it would be better to choose an image with less spoiler potential? –xeno^talk 16:41, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks for the information. I left the old image in the powers and abilities section, it works because it shows some of his powers. But I got a new image, better? − Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 16:53, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good =) –xeno^talk 16:56, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Need Advice

This user has been adding large swaths of unsourced and largely unnecessary information to radio and television pages. One page, WBIR-TV, had some 20 edits, all could be considered OR and unsourced. I left a small note on the user's talkpage, but an admin (like yourself) could probably put it in better terms. Mind taking a look? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 22:28, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't it be better to add fact tags, send them a welcome message, and counsel them on sourcing? Your message to them was a little curt, and their edits appear to be in good faith... –xeno^talk 22:37, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Something like this [1] was what I had in mind. –xeno^talk 23:11, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a tool to see what your deleted edits are

I was wondering if you knew of a tool that would tell me what my deleted edits are. I just noticed on the Edit counter I went from 995 deleted edits to 1035. I would like to find out if I made an edit that broke something or if someone just didnt like the edit. Thanks. --Kumioko (talk) 22:30, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Most of your deleted edits appear to be innocuous AWB stuff to pages that were later deleted for other reasons. You also recently nominated a bunch of templates for speedy deletion. –xeno^talk 22:34, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy

Can you "userfy" the deleted article titled "Friends for Fullerton's Future" for me? Thank you. --Travisk (talk) 23:22, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
