It would require you to manually add the username, rule broken, and duration. Not sure if you can be bothered doing that for every ban. Otherwise, if you like it, feel free to use it.

Why did you already archive your talkpage? 35 messages and 24k of content. Criteria is 40 messages or 32k of content. I wouldn't have expected this from you as you are one to go by the rules.

== Template ==
  +

Your template has an error: "@hide" is not valid in that usage, and there has to be some image for that field (removing the field doesn't work because it will use a "default" image (the one for the weapon condition project). So I'd choose a half-relevant image for the template. {{User:SigmaDelta54/Sig}} 01:00, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

==Mod vs patroller==
  +
I've taken a look at the guidelines and at 'Making the request' it states that an aspiring moderator needs to start a forum thread. Now you can say you ask for patroller rights, but it would mean you'd get moderator powers in total (chat which you already have, rollback and patrol). So I would consider your request a moderator one and you need to start a thread for that. By the way, you're good to go for that I think.

Hey, Chad! Long time no see, eh? I've been snowed under work on the last week and it will be so for a while until the first chapter of my master's dissertation is done. That's why I've been quite distant and just patrolling the articles for a couple of hours a day, making fewer edits. It's gonna get better when the thick work is taken care of.
  +
<br>But that's not why I'm here. I'm here because I want to propose something. I've drawn and painted ever since I learnt how to hold a pencil. Although I'm not a superb artist (btw, you can see 2 of my pieces on my user page - gallery), I can come up with something good from time to time. So I was thinking of starting a new wiki segment (kinda like the news digest and the mystery polls) that would take place twice a month, in which I would post a drawing of a Fallout character created by me and a very brief tale about them below the picture. More than twice a month and I'm fucked, 'cause things are gonna get bloody tight with the master's this year. XD
  +
<br>I was thinking of naming the segment as "Forgotten names of despair", and the stories would be very grim and almost always end with someone's death or with pain/suffering. It would try to show the ruthlessness of a world devastated by holocaust.
  +
<br>Anyway, what do you think? Perhaps I could post it on the SNM as well, but I can talk to Leon about that later.

Hi Chad! I was just reading another splendid edition of the news digest and I noticed the project spotlight section was empty.

So perhaps you could update it or put it into the next one, whichever you prefer. Thanks :) {{User:SigmaDelta54/Sig}} 00:56, May 5, 2012 (UTC)
