Main page

I removed the cascade protection. I had just put it up as an antivandal measure; I had no idea it would negatively impact you. My apologies. On another note, you could just probably put up a short nomination and get adminship; why don't you? You are clearly active enough to be able to use it. NW (Talk) 02:59, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestion. I have created a request for adminship. SUL (talk) 17:03, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm happy you went with his suggestion... per below... — RyanCross (talk) 21:41, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Administrator

Congratulations, you are now an administrator! Please read WQ:ADMIN if you have not already. If you need help, feel free to ask me or another administrator. Thanks. — RyanCross (talk) 21:40, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

QOTW

Can you possibly explain the system? Regards, Pmlineditor 18:00, 8 August 2009 (UTC).

To create a new QOTW, you need to choose a sourced quote that has been translated into Simple English from an article and create a new page at Wikiquote:Quote of the Week/2009/August 10-August 16 using the same formatting as the other Quotes of the Week (See Template:Quote of the Week quotes for quotes that have previously been on the Main Page). At the beginning of the next week, Template:Quote of the Week will be updated to show the new quote. Thanks for helping. SUL (talk) 18:14, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Also, please add {{QOTW|2009|DATE}} to the page that you got the quote from like this. SUL (talk) 18:17, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. Adding. Pmlineditor 07:57, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
