Admin nomination

Hi Tim - you've made tons of good contributions here, so I was wondering if you'd be interested in being nominated as an administrator. It's a tremendously prestigious position that involves being tirelessly hounded by fans and groupies, as well as the endless temptation of several new Wiki buttons that should never, under any circumstances, no matter how grave the situation, be used. And then you also get the rollback link, whose lure is sometimes irresistible, especially when User:Ilikecats or User:Traveler2006 shows up. But basically being an admin is the same as being a normal Wikitraveller, except with groupies. Would you be interested? -- Ryan 17:11, 17 August 2006 (EDT)

See Wikitravel:Administrator_nominations#Tsandell. -- Ryan 17:41, 17 August 2006 (EDT)

Tim, I just saw your comments on Ryan's talk page. Would you make the same note on the nomination page so everyone knows that you accepted the nomination. Thanks. -- Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 01:01, 18 August 2006 (EDT)

So, your admin bit has been flipped. Thanks a lot for taking on this job. The main thing you should see different is a "rollback" link when viewing links (use it!), a "delete" and "protect" tab at the top of every article (which we normally only do by voting, but also at your discretion if it's clearly uncontroversial), and a lot of "block" and "ban" links for user, which we rarely use. If you have any questions, let me know. --User:Evan

HI

Thanks for your words tim, i´m trying to edit within the guidelines, btw i included the link to the railway system because it has an english version, perhaps i should have linked it directly to the english side and not just to the main page?

That was helpful, thanks a lot. rizzen 23:32, 17 August 2006 (EDT)

Template border

I've added the border. I'd just copy and paste that as many times as you need to. -- Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 13:25, 18 August 2006 (EDT)

VFD

Did you mean to vfd the guide to Warsaw/Praga Polnoc, which is the legit article or the redirect that took you there? -- Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 00:11, 20 August 2006 (EDT)

Same thing with Warsaw/Wilanow. I think you meant to vfd Warsaw/Wilnaow. -- Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 00:13, 20 August 2006 (EDT)

Thanks for the welcome

Tim, thanks for the welcome message.

Jeffrey's Bay is my first contribution to Wikitravel and I am still learning how to use the wiki correctly.

I often (at least once a year) go to J-Bay and will keep working on it's page until it is a star entry. When I go down there this December I will make a point of collecting telephone numbers etc to use on the Wikitravel entry.

You can see more of my J-Bay photos here. I've also noted that Google Earth now has hi-res imaging for the area. I have created some Google Earth Placemarks and a link to Google Maps. There is also a webcam over the main beach.

Cheers

Nick
