I don't think I've ever seen those opposes alone sink an RfA. However it looks like you shot yourself in the foot by saying you were weak with your understanding of GNG. You took a gamble being honest about a weakness and it didn't pay off, but was held against you. Honestly, it was such a loaded question that I'm not sure if you could have given any answer that would not have been held against you. Anyway, I'm not convinced that your RfA would not have been successful, but I'm sorry that you felt the need to withdraw all the same. Shake it off, brush up on your weak points and come back in 6 months. There's nothing stronger than an RfA candidate who has heeded and rectified concerns!

and leave it to the next person to resolve (which 99% of the time ends up being you!). In all honesty, I'm kind of glad that my request to tag probably 1,000,000+ pages with bare URL cleanup tags was denied/adjusted, especially since I've now seen a few cases where after the bare URLs are fixed, some

I haven't been too active lately, and just saw that I missed your RfA. I was surprised to see how it went. I certainly would have supported. As someone who sailed through RfA virtually unopposed in spite of only have created one stub, I don't think content creation opposes have much credibility, and

Thanks indeed! I was excited to see your request, and I hope to see a another some day. It's always hard to put yourself out there, but it's good that you did because despite the negatives, a ton of people really appreciate the work you do behind the scenes to keep things working.

Hello, Ive seen you did contributions to the page of the Bulgars.Is it only me to notice below the image of the BULGARIAN ruller Krum, is written-BULGAR, which I see is more assosiated with the Volga Bulgars?

Either way, I know you are saying no semi or PC, but I would have at least put PC on it for a year to gauge this ... though I have a personal grievance with this page since I've reverted a good amount of edits on that page

Thank you kindly. You are right - it isn't until people get into the task of fixing bare urls that they can get an idea of how much goes into it. I was glad that the bot that Green C made is set up to not swamp the category. You are also right about new bare urls being added all the time. I sure do

Compliments on a very good close there. I'd scratched my head about it earlier, but I think you actually made a very good call; picking up that it's one of those occasions where there's a vague sense it could be improved, but nobody's come up with a compelling way to do that - and that ultimately,

My methodology about such links is a two step process: 1) Correct any links in templates, especially navboxes, then 2) check the next day or so to see if there are still links (as in, see if no one beat me to them), and correct the ones I can figure out. However, I now realize in this case that I

No worries, different people interpret text differently. I fully understand your frustration at long term disruptive edits, particularly when you have a larger watchlist. I was taking a second look and realised Izno has enabled PC anyway which I don't disagree with. Hopefully that should give the

One last question - at the DAB page - why not simply modify the wikilink and be done with it? When you search for Daniel Curtis you get the DAB. Simply modify the link to wikilink to the correct article and avoid the redirect and potential time sink all together? ], Welsh composer and musician ?

No worries. Go ahead and go for it! I was using Twinkle to nominate them, then was going to bundle them afterwards. I didn't know if you had left the computer for a bit or what, so I looked at your recent contributions and was trying to finish what you started before the next day started in UTC.

Hi! I noticed the message you left on my talk page. I was just wondering if i needed to edit the signature i put on the page you were referring to or if i just had to write my signature better in the future. Also i read Wp:Signature so I understand what you told me. Thanks!

Hi S. You hit save before I did so here is the edit summary that I was going to leave "well rats - I'm thinking that when I copy pasted it into my browser I didn't get the whole address - apologies - now fixed" Thanks for your fix and everything else you do around here :-)

Thanks for catching that duplicate. Not sure what happened. I used the page curation tool to nominate them, appears there is a glitch in that, which does not give the target, will use Twinkle from now on. Will fix on the project page momentarily.

I talked offwiki with ferret about that (I was leaning semi). He also thinks there's a clear LTA MO on the page but the IPs are so spread out that I thought it would be hard to find a good block that didn't just get hopped a month later.

Yea, I’m wondering this too. General consensus was to move the three award ceremonies, and to not move the individual awards. You moved one of the award ceremonies and that’s it. Could you please move the other two?

Agree. Sorry it didn't go the way you wanted. I was actually reviewing your edits when you withdrew. Hope it doesn't discourage you from doing it again. RFA is brutal sometimes don't take it personally.
