[edit] Emma Watson Reverts
Hi! Just letting you know, I had to revert your changes to Emma Watson. Per Wikipedia's verifiability standards, a fan forum does not constitute a reliable source. Feel free to restore the data with reliable reports. :) RadioKirk talk to me 18:47, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Hello! Apologies, but I've had to make further reversions to Emma Watson. Two links for one piece of data is almost never needed; IMDb is fan-edited, and is not reliable; and her height is fancruft and would never go in the lead line anyway. Write me with any questions. :) RadioKirk talk to me 20:32, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: How did you become a Wikipedian/Administrator?
Wikipedian: I started editing and learned from there, like you're doing. Administrator: Someone nominated me, and my peers felt I was ready. :) RadioKirk talk to me 21:08, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
It's not a quick process; it usually takes several months and thouands of edits. The best way is, make good edits, make yourself familiar with Wikipedia policies, read and take part in administrative functions, like the administrators' noticeboard and vandal-reporting, and you may be there someday. Thanks for writing! RadioKirk talk to me 21:13, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Internal links
What page are you working on, and what are you trying to link? RadioKirk talk to me 18:17, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- Go into My Preferences, click the User profile tab, and include your changes in the Nickname field. If you use any tags, like internal links and <span>, for example, you'll have to check the box that says Raw signature. RadioKirk talk to me 18:26, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Userpage header
Fixed (it was "UserPage", not "Userpage"), but now you'll have to format it to fit :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 18:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: RC patrollers
Well, technically, anyone can patrol Special:Recentchanges, a lot of people use it to catch more vandalism more quickly. If you don't have popups, however, it can be very tedious. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 20:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Table on List of characters in the Harry Potter books
Hi Jhfireboy. I noticed you started to make a table of all the characters listed on the page. I think that, instead of slowly making the table in the main namespace, you finish it elsewhere and then bring it to the article. However, I am first and foremost concerned if we even need the table at all. It's a very colorful addition, I admit, bringing photos of the characters and writing brief notes about them, but it's just not necessary. This is a list – not a table of contents. It's simply an index of every character in the series, with a link (if existant) to more info about them. So, I'm going to revert your edits. We may very well end up creating the table, but I'd like to discuss this first before bringing it up. As I said, though, if we do decide to create it, why don't you make it on a user subpage, such as User:Jhfireboy/HP Characters Table or a subpage of the article talk, like Talk:List of characters in the Harry Potter books/Draft? I hope you understand: this is a major renovation that needs to be talked about first. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 03:07, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'd also like to point out that most of the images you have in User:Jhfireboy/HP Characters Table are fair use. Looking at policy rule 9, fair use images can only be used in articles, and if it would be best on the individuals' pages, not on a combined page like that. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:Kiera Knightley DMC Premiere.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kiera Knightley DMC Premiere.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 00:06, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your VandalProof Application
Dear Jhfireboy,
Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that at this time you do not meet the minimum requirement of 250 edits to mainspace articles (see under main here). Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. --frothT 23:28, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Emma Watson 1.jpg
Thank you for uploading this image. It has been removed from Emma Watson (per WP:FUC, since fair-use images cannot merely identify a living, public person) and deleted as it failed to assert fair use in any way. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 00:12, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the welcome back. Restrictions on images recently got even tighter than they were already; reading WP:FUC will help (if you haven't already). Thanks again. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 22:05, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- Generally, your peers like to see a few thousand edits spread across article and user spaces coupled with a reasonable knowledge of Wikipedia policies and guidelines (some of which have changed since I was honored as an admin, requiring me and others to keep up). RadioKirk (u|t|c) 22:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: 213.249.154.100
I have deleted the offending entries. The IP is not solely vandalism, but I will consider blocks (we can only permablock IPs if they're proxies, and this one seems not) if similar behavior continues. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 18:29, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome to VandalProof!
Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Jhfireboy! You have now been added to the list of authorized users, so if you haven't already, simply download and install VandalProof from our main page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any other moderator, or you can post a message on the discussion page. Prodego talk 23:06, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Certainly. I have already looked through your user, talk, and contribs pages for your VP approval, as well as one more page. This is (controversially) what many or most of RfA voters use to determine whether to support or decline an adminship nomination. It is editcount, and it shows a lot of data, which can be used as a summary of a user. It shows you have been a user for 11 months, and that you have been semi-active during that period. You seem to be article editing oriented, and have made 439 edits. The standards for RfA are constantly raising, when I was nominated, the standard was about 4000 total edits, and users would also look at how they were distributed across the namespaces. Today 6000 total edits is the norm. A straight analysis of you (currently) indicates that:
- To become an admin I would advise you to spread out your editing into other areas as well as continuing to make contributions to articles. You also need to vamp up your activity considerably, making at least an average of 20 edits a day, for the next six months or so. Becoming an admin takes serious dedication. Prodego talk 23:29, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
-
- I think the most important thing, not so far as the likely hood of it passing goes, but as far as being ready goes, is waiting until someone (who knows what they are doing) offers to nominate you. Nufy8 did this to me. When users offer to do that, and you feel ready, you are close to requesting. It can't hurt to wait until some other people agree though ;-).

Thank you.

[edit] 2.75G
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article 2.75G, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
