I'm probably just being thick, but I don't understand the four more years bit... --Dweller (talk) 11:06, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It refers to me having been here since December 2004, but it's also an American political double entendre referring to Bush's 2004 re-election (it's considered one of the most annoying political rally chants in American political history) RyanGerbil10(Four more years!) 18:28, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man - what's up? You're normally one of the rational guys here, yet you seem upset about something on Kanonkas' RfA. May I ask why you don't want to support anyone with over 3500 edits? I'm interested to hear your RfA thoughts - I suspect you don't like how things are going at the minute :-( Really hope real life's treating you well.

your "protest"[edit]

I'm not really understanding how the standards at RfA are "ridiculous." I also wasn't aware that there were any standards there. Can you elaborate on exactly what it is that you're protesting against? flaminglawyerc 21:01, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Itsmejudith[edit]

Hello. Please forgive the spam but since Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Itsmejudith is heading toward a very close decision, I'm contacting all editors who were in the "Neutral" section in the hope that they can take a second look at the RfA and make a more explicit recommendation (either way).

RfA thankspam[edit]

Thank you for your participation in my recent RfA, which failed with 90/38/3; whether you supported, opposed or remained neutral.

Special thanks go out to Moreschi, Dougweller and Frank for nominating me, and I will try to take everyone's comments on board.

Thanks again for your participation. I am currently concentrating my efforts on the Wikification WikiProject. It's fun! Please visit the project and wikify a few articles to help clear the backlog. If you can recruit some more participants, then even better.

Apologies if you don't like RfA thankspam, this message was delivered by a bot which can't tell whether you want it or not. Feel free to remove it. Itsmejudith (talk), 22:52, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
