Hello, Barneca,
Could you please get re-involved in working on the Video Professor page? It is crying out for an experienced hand. Thanks, Nsk92 17:35, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Barneca,
I am going to do what ever it takes to defend my alma mater. If I get baned, then at least I know I went down fighting. So many people tear into the University of Florida page it is unreal. I know it isn't an Ivy League School, but I have been posting exactly what my sources indicate. These sources are alittle over the top, however it is positive PR for UF. Who are these people to judge if the rhetoric is not right? If these are sources from a legitimate newspapers & journals, then what is the problem? I think UF deserves ARBITRATION.
Thanks,

Hi Barneca -- Just a heads up that you don't seem to have included a summary of your edit count on the talk page of your RfA, as is usual practice. I know that the place is rife with editcountitis, but the wannabe_kate tool [1] does also give some useful information on pages edited and consistency of editing over time. Regards, Espresso Addict 15:42, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Barneca, I noticed that you made this comment on a sockpuppet case. Even though you're not an admin, you're welcome to put the {{ sspa}} tag on cases where the accounts have already been blocked--it will ease the load on the (very few) admins who watch the page. Thanks for being willing to help. --Akhilleus ( talk) 04:07, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
I have closed your RfA. I am afraid there was no consensus to promote you. Please feel free to reapply in the future. Good luck. -- Deskana (talky) 16:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Sorry you weren't successful this time around. Perhaps the next one. As far as your request to let you know if you do something stupid, I assume that refers to your need to bite your tongue. In that case, I'm not the person to ask! One of the reasons I haven't put in an RfA is because I refuse to bite mine. :) Lara Love 13:53, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
That's fine, don't worry about it, and I hope you're successful next time. Happy editing :-) Lra drama 14:05, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your note. I look forward to supporting your next RfA. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 16:28, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
No problems, you will do fine in your next RfA!! Phgao 18:05, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
I can't delete the Whitefish Mountain Resort article because it deletes the page edit history with it. The GFDL requires acknowledgement of all contributors, and editors continue to hold copyright on their contributions unless they specifically give up this right. Hence it is required that edit histories be preserved for all major contributions until the normal copyright expires. See Help:Moving_a_page#Wikipedia-specific_help. Please use the move tab if there is consensus. Also, please read through Help:Moving a page. -- Jreferee T/ C 18:56, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Barneca thank you for your message. It is a pity that your RfA did not succeed because IMHO you had all it takes. I am sorry that some people held against you some past mistakes despite the fact that you clearly demonstrated to have learned from them, which for me is what matters the most. If you decide to run again (and you should) you have my full support. Take care, Kudret abi Talk 04:38, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Eh, my unvarnished thoughts about that RfA are probably unsuitable for on-wiki consumption. So I'll just bite my tongue and say that I was very disappointed in the course it took; you were and are highly qualified, and I think you should try again soon. MastCell Talk 22:40, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Well i accidently deleted some crud in Phoenicia but i wanted to add some stuff. Then, i put the stuff in but i accidently deleted an article again. Now someone changed it, i need help with this thing! - Jubthenubnub

I was just wondering if it did, was out of town for the last 2 weeks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.40.137.205 ( talk) 20:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
What a shame.......
Maybe in the next months you might get it don't worry, or the following months..... or the following year..... or decade..... Never mind.

Naw, you weren't stepping out of line. Thanks for that :-) I don't usually check if they've had higher previous warnings and I usually go with how I think the vandalism/spamming/whatever is like. Btw, that anon above this message seems like a mean prick 'Scuse the language. But yeah, thanks again, buddy :-) Scarian Talk 16:53, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
It's true... I've been keeping an eye on the article and talkpage since the original edit warring. I only stepped in today because the anon was going rather nuclear on the article cites. You seem to have it well under control though.-- Isotope23 talk 17:10, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey there. Wondering if you have any interest in checking the recent debates within the Islam in the United States article. There's a growing division among certain editors (myself included) regarding bias, relevance, citations, etc. It's growing more contentious, without much headway. It needs more eyes, less passion. Any chance you'd be willing to weigh in? If not, not a problem. Just thought of you as being the right kind of editor for this particular mess. Cheers-- Jonashart 18:30, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey there. No worries. Actually, things have quieted down in the last week or so. No real understanding why, but those pushing hard for poor sources and biased adds have been deterred, it would seem. So, for the time being, things are ok. The article will always need work, but when isn't that true? But I agree, something more formal may be needed next time. It'd be nice if there weren't a next time, but with an subject like this, that's wishful thinking. Enjoy your trip (as best you can). You're always welcome (read: encouraged) to check the article when you find time. Cheers-- Jonashart 20:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Yes, Santo Domingo de los Colorados would appear to have been elevated to the status of a province: I lived in a neighbouring canton and there was an active campaign at that time for such a change. I'll have to double check whether the official title is SD de los Colorados (as I always knew it) or SD de los Tsachila, or even Tsa'chila, which would be a more politically correct appellation, and also confirm which other cantons are in the new province. I'll get onto it after dinner. Kevin McE 18:30, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Just saw your recent edit to your talk page on Meta. [2] If you have your email address verified, go into your Preferences and, under E-mail, check the "E-mail me when my user talk page is changed" option. That way, you won't have to swing by just to see if you have messages; you'll know as soon as you get them. EVula // talk // ☯ // 00:31, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
User talk:Barneca sock 1 isn't yours, right? If so, I apologize... — Scien tizzle 22:53, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
The sock is mine, but my computer is acting up, and I couldn't get it to save my {{ User Alternate Acct}} template, and then when that got resolved, it had already been blocked. heh. the reason I created the sock is to remind myself what it was like to edit as a new account, and a fringe benefit is, I get to see what it is like to be blocked! - -- barneca ( talk) 23:02, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
If I get banned will it just me this account or my ip?
Those fake award, I had nothing to do with and deleted even before I got your message. The RFA is not a joke. I really do wish to be an admin. And as for having my friends answer my questions, that was me, answering them on there account. I didn't want to waste time logging off then back on. I do not think wikipedia as a joke, I think of it as a way to just... do something usful with my time. I understand your concern, and I appoligize for whatever bothered you. I just hope that I can help Wiki, and I talked to my friends about the vandalism and all that. I hope I can make WikiPedia the best site on the web. I am deeply sorry for what my friends did, and I hope they won't do it again.
Sorry... Tjpravetz Captain 19:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
I will reply on your talk page. -- barneca ( talk) 20:40, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
I was unaware of that, and sorry for the confusion. Tjpravetz —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjpravetz ( talk • contribs) 21:24, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
I don't know what's going on, but having made a report to WP:AIV I looked at the entry below, from you, reporting IPvandal|66.38.238.208 (which is not my IP), and the contributions, talk etc that it referenced were all mine!!? I tried my best to delete it, but continual edit conflicts - you seemed to be making a fairly complex entry - meant I did not succeed. I just hope the admin who looks at it is not too trigger happy. - JohnCD 23:10, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
