RFA 3
I hope in about a year I can support Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Mdann52 3 and watch it succeed in a landslide. Whether it does or not is, of course, mostly up to you. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:00, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
- Me too. You still have things to polish and to work on, but in due course, you will be okay. And yes, I'd also recommend to wait a year (I did so for my third RfA and it turned out well). → Call me Hahc21 20:13, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hopefully so - I will try to broaden my horizons and memorise all of WP:Mos as well :P --Mdann52talk to me! 22:23, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
- Well done on accepting the nomination in the first place. I expect you'll be able to get plenty more experience over the coming months, and I won't be surprised to see you back with a successful request in 12 months or less. -- Trevj (talk · contribs) 03:53, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- Maybe getting rid of the "READ BEFORE POSTING!!: bugger off and don't post here unless you've read my rules" header might help. It seems to betray an attitude, to some, who prefer a more welcoming talkpage header. I'm sure you mean well, but it's easily misinterpreted as potentially assuming bad faith. Just a thought, and good luck next time... Begoon talk 18:49, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

- Thank you, it looks much better now, and I pay no heed to edit summaries - nor will future voters. That will help, I'm sure. Let me know if you run again, please, it's likely I'd support now. Begoon talk 18:24, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Removal of the slogan field from Template:Infobox mobile phone
Could you explain why you reintroduced the slogan field at Template talk:Infobox mobile phone? There are people that oppose the slogan field since it is viewed as marketing material. Please, give a clear explanation or we will have to remove that field. --Davidjonesmartin (talk) 10:59, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
