If one is born on a US base in another country, where are you really born? I believe that US bases, like embassies are technically US property, but if I was born on a base in Germany, would my bio read that I was born in Germany? I'm inclined to think so. What do you think?

I went to some figure 8 races last night, and I tried to get a picture of the action for the article. It was very dark and I had to use slow speed to get anything. This DSLR camera did WAY better! I posted the best 2 shots on my flickr account 1, 2. Would either of these be helpful in the article, or are they too blurry? Should I crop them down (but then I'll lose perspective)? Please respond here on your talk page to keep the conversation together. Please respond here on your talk page. I'm leaving for camping for the long weekend very soon, so I'll look at your response in a few days. Royal broil 13:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi Ched. While doing my various rounds at Wikipedia over the last few days, I've noticed some of the incredibly kind and encouraging words you've said to people, and I just wanted to say how much they are appreciated. We are lucky to have you here. So, anyway, that's all I wanted to say. ;) I hope your adminship is going well. Best, PeterSymonds ( talk) 13:48, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
What do you make of this close Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of terms for gay in different languages? And going to the closer's taklpage I also saw a discussion regarding this one [ [1]] where the article creator wasn't notified (and it looks like it would have been a reasonable merge to me perhaps based on the discussion, although I haven't seen the article). Perhaps I should take them to DRV? I'm not fond of that type of contentious process. Let me know what you think. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 03:14, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for your help good sir. Indeed, I think it best to preserve the history per GFDL and such. Not sure if or when I'll get around to saving the exploding chicken, but it seems important to me. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 17:51, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
I may have a couple more articles for you to userfy in the next few days. :) Do you mind doing that stuff? I want to make sure you get good at it! I was wondering about your post on the Bureaucrat board. I didn't really understand the need for the heads up. Isn't it more of an Arb issue? ChildofMidnight ( talk) 00:15, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
CoM reminds me of guys I knew in Jr. High who would put their noses in the air and say, "Well, I'm not talking to him!" Or maybe that was teenage girls that I'm thinking of. Be that as it may, since he deleted this probably before you could read it, here it is again, for your grand edification:
In summary, while that list is possibly educational, it seems to have a lot of original (or at least uncited) research in it. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 18:26, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
He also deleted my very reasonable comment about lutefisk. I should have mentioned to him that I always travel to the Minnesota State Fair, where you can get lutefisk on a stick and stuff like that there. If he goes there too, maybe I'll get a chance to meet him up close and poysanal. I'll be waiting by the hog exhibits. I'll wear a Twins cap so he'll know me. d:) Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 18:45, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
It's worth mentioning that between my comments and another editor's diligent work, the "gay synonyms" article has been whittled down to almost nothing. In which case, it should probably be deleted, but I'll leave that up to the deletionists. 0:) Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 00:27, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
I appreciate your kind words. Like you, there are some editors that I know are political opposites from what I think I am, and we get along fine. Others, we don't. I think the secret is not taking it too seriously. That's where some of those others and I part ways. They say they don't like my sense of humor. In particular, I think, they don't like having sacred cows punctured. To me, there are very few sacred cows. Someone told me the other day he thought I was conservative. I countered, "No, I'm old-fashioned." The two are not the same. Maybe you don't know this, but I wave the American flag on my user page, which is a political statement, and those things are frowned upon. However, it's buried in one of the sections you have to open, rather than screaming at the casual visitor. I call myself a liberal American patriot, which sounds like a contradiction. But what it means is that I try to keep an open mind about things, and I celebrate the good fortune of having been born and raised in the USA. To those who might wonder how I could defend the Palin and Obama articles with equal fervor, it's easy: I try to keep the reader in mind; and I don't take either of them seriously enough to become a zealot about them. I've seen many politicians come and go. They all have their pluses and minuses. I couldn't stand Dubya as President, but I didn't personally hate him either, as some left-wing zealots did. I always say about the Prez, "He's not God, he's not the King - he's just a guy, and if we don't like the job he's doing, we can vote him out." That rule applies to Obama as well as Bush. So there's another shaggy dog story, and why I don't have a problem with political opposites who will talk. In real life, I'm thinking about one of my best pals, who is as right wing as they come, and who I ideologically oppose on many issues - and who shares my style of humor (just directed at different politicos), my love of country, and who has what I call a "true Christian" nature, who would give you the shirt off his back if necessary. The best kind of friend you can have. So there's always hope, and we'll just see how things go here as time passes. OK, that was today's sermon. You may now turn to page 191 in your hymnal, as we sing a hymn written by God Himself, and titled, "Joyful, Joyful, Ye Adore Me." Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 05:12, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Chad, I noticed that you extended certain rights to a well-known troublemaker,
CoM, and I was wondering if you would have a look at my article contributions, to see if I can put in for Autoreviewer too. Not that I think my new articles (little bitty stubby thingies, usually) won't withstand scrutiny, but I just can't stand it if CoM has a toy tool that I don't have! Thanks,

Hey Ched. Thanks for the additional tools! Now that a devoted rabblerouser has them too, they don't seem that special and I don't want them any more. Also, I've accidentally rolled something back a couple of times, and I kind of like having my new articles patrolled. I hate to be ungrateful, but would you mind stripping me these special tools? I guess I'm just an old-fashioned kind of editor. It was cool and interesting to check them out though, and I appreciate your empowering me with them and helping to deal with the aftermath. Thanks! I can't wait to get the Walmart rollback pricing nightmares out of my head... ChildofMidnight ( talk) 17:42, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

What would be the reason for this rollback of a talk page comment? [7] It doesn't look like a vandalistic edit, but maybe I'm overlooking something. I don't really know Montanabw, except as a victim of the User:ItsLassieTime sockfarm, sometime this past spring. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 04:27, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Bugs, how does this appear to you as "rollback"? ... what I see now is different I think than before I had the buttons. How do I tell the difference? — Ched : ? 04:50, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Meanwhile, I was just checking CoM's page to see what he had to say, since I don't actively watch his page anymore. I accept the possibility he might have clicked it by accident, as I've been known to click things by accident, except I usually know I did it and try to reverse it. Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out whether I'm more of a "douche bag" or a "troll". Or is it both? :'( Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 06:25, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Ched - can you look again at your comment on the cattle page? I think you were trying to interpret why CoM may have removed it and then you left a message. I read the discussion twice and really think the users are using the talk page appropriately and discussing the article, naming conventions, and such. I was hoping you might remove it because the participants seem to be acting in good faith. Law type! snype? 08:12, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
PLEASE don't anyone take offense to this .. but "I DON'T CARE!" Revert it, change it, strike it, redact it, burn it and flush it down the damn toilet. It's a couple sentences about cows. It's a web page ... no, it's a "discussion" about a web page. I have no doubts whatsoever that each and every one of the people involved were, and are, acting in good faith. I just can't find it in my heart or soul to spend time on this. I'm sorry. Do what you think is right - I'm not going to argue one way or the other about it. Sorry for the rant, but I'm headed for my bed now. Whatever is decided is fine by me. — Ched : ? 08:32, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the push. Your offer (re:admin) was recieved and truly moved me. At this time, I'd rather stay a part of the huddled masses searching for Truth, Justice and the Wikipedian Way. Not that the admins don't search for the same. Plus I don't look real good in Velvet. Also, I'm not great with the tools provided for everyday editing and the RULE BOOK is under a pile of papers under the windowsill (I think). With the 5 day drama-down Ive started to work on Incivilty, etc. and work out some ideas or a paper or whatever in response to Bacchus's challenge.

← HEY folks - how ya all doin? Sorry I'm so late to my own party. Anyway, snacks are on the counter - help yourselves. OK - first post first. Mal - nope - not seeing anything there at all. I'm guessing that you're asking as far as "can you confirm that you also believe that there is no call for a warning". I'm guessing that due to your often stated disdain for WP:CIV. I concur - nothing to raise a fuss over.
OK - guess I have to address the topic at hand. I'll try to do so without violating my WP:NODRAMA vow. I've read WP:BLOCK, WP:CIV, WP:NPA, and many other related guidelines, essays, and policies. I personally do not like to "block people out". I'd much prefer that we talk to people first. I tend to extend AGF beyond what many folks would consider reasonable. While I can't comment on the various "policy and guideline" pages for a couple days (self-imposed restriction and all), I do think that we need to treat each and every editor with respect and dignity. I think that far too many people have been chased off the project by snide, crude, rude, and downright ignorant comments made by so called "experienced" Wikipedians. I think that if an editor believes that their experience has evolved to the point that they can be downright nasty to other editors - it's time for them to leave, and write their own books which they can submit to a publisher. Wikipedia was developed as an "open project", with the idea that it would be open to any and all editors who wished to contribute. I think that any push to accept vile and hurtful edits, with some foolish nonsense that we're being "frank", is going to bring the project to its knees. I understand that "Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom", but I also believe that if an editor needs to stoop the base language in order to get a point across - then an "encyclopedic project" is not their forte. We should be "evolving" as a species, not de-evolving. We should be helping - not hurting. Many of us learned a lot of "fun" words in 6th grade gym class, but that kind of language has no place in a project that is attempting to impart knowledge to the future generations. Sorry that I can't agree with everyone all the time - but that is my perception. My very best to all. ;-) — Ched : ? 02:58, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
No offense intended towards anyone, but I think I need to be working on articles, fixing things, and improving the 'pedia for a bit. You're all welcome to post to
User talk:Ched Davis/Archive 8, and I'll still respond to the best of my abilities - but to be perfectly honest, if you post here - please make it about article or 'pedia improvements. If your post is about other issues, it may be a few days before I respond in the proper manner. Best to all ... let's get to work "building" and stop "tearing down". Cheers. —

Thanks for the comment. You need a bit of humor at ANI at times, because some discussions can get quite heated, and if everyone is in a bad mood, editors will end up attacking each other over nonsense instead of trying to resolve the issues that started the discussions in the first place. I've found that when people are in good spirits at ANI, they are less likely to fire at each other and more likely to try and work together to solve their problems.-- The Legendary Sky Attacker 23:57, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi. In light of recent events and community concerns about the way in which content is transferred I have proposed a new wikiproject which would attempt to address any of the concerns and done in an environment where a major group of editors work together to transfer articles from other wikipedias in the most effective way possible without BLP or referencing problems. Please offer your thoughts at the proposal and whether or not you support or oppose the idea of a wikiproject dedicated to organizing a more efficient process of getting articles in different languages translated into English.

Thank you for your kind and supportive words. I only happened across the Gates articles within the last 24 hours or so, when I was talking with another user about the subject vaguely and thought I should find the actual articles. Then I saw CoM's activity and went to ANI to raise the question and set the record straight about whether the topic ban applied. I wasn't really expecting a block, just a warning (like the one I had given him, which I expected him to ignore). So now I've got clarification on all of that, but with any luck it won't come up again. His usual yapping about us being trolls and such is just "poor me syndrome" stuff. He's unblocked now and hopefully will be more careful the next time. Ironically, the reason the subject of Gates came up was in a talk page about the Apollo hoax stuff, which I've been working with for about 3 years. There have been a number of very belligerent users on that page in the past, which taught me a lot about the process of dealing with such users. The most recent staunch hoax believer is a guy from Bulgaria who thinks it was a hoax and has plenty to say about it. Several of us have had fairly sharp words with him, and he back at us. Yet he's been fairly easy to work with, as he doesn't edit war, and doesn't take things personally in the lively debates we've had. Would that CoM were a little more thick-skinned. But I can't make someone else change their stripes. And that's the way it is. :) Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 06:10, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Baseball Bugs obsessive stalking and harassment of me has continued to be aproblem. Please don't encourage him. He has no need to discuss me and should work to contribute usefully to the encyclopedia. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 18:21, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
If he ever apologizes to me for the way he insulted/trashed my efforts and others' to defend wikipedia from WND on the night of March 8/9, then he need never hear from me again (unless in a good way). Either way, I have tried to avoid him in recent weeks, but when I observe him or anyone violating the rules or violating a topic ban, I'm inclined to report it. He does not have the right to tell me what pages to watch or not watch - an I'm not the one on a topic ban, either. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 18:56, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
←Actually, I had been following the articles a bit myself. I'll admit, I've trusted some of the news sources more that the WP article for info, but I have read through some of the stuff. It appears that the possibilities of a "sit down" and having a "beer" are becoming very viable options. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the rest of the world could do the same? Given some of the tensions in various "hot spots" on a global level though ... I'm not gonna hold my breath for that one ... lol. ;)

Your name-got it confused with the guy who use to be head of samaritans ( I only just found your comment today by having to go all over the place on this site and by chance came across it-so may have missed anyhting else you have written
I found it hard to easily-(or with difficulty-) find a way of replying to your note-in terms of navigation around the site to find the correct reply function
So sorry if this is reply is in the wrong place
Many thanks with the last item you posted .
I have tried to add the ref for NTAS-with back up support ref
Alas I have eliminated your edit aspect which demonstrated quoting refs as I attempted to add the supporting ref.
I must be wrong but to me- it looks pretty much finsihed-please let me know if and what needs some attention

If one is born on a US base in another country, where are you really born?

What do you make of this close Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of terms for gay in different languages? And going to the closer's taklpage I also saw a discussion regarding this one [ [1]] where the article creator wasn't notified (and it looks like it would have been a reasonable merge to me perhaps based on the discussion, although I haven't seen the article). Perhaps I should take them to DRV? I'm not fond of that type of contentious process. Let me know what you think. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 03:14, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

CoM reminds me of guys I knew in Jr. High who would put their noses in the air and say, "Well, I'm not talking to him!" Or maybe that was teenage girls that I'm thinking of. Be that as it may, since he deleted this probably before you could read it, here it is again, for your grand edification:

He also deleted my very reasonable comment about lutefisk. I should have mentioned to him that I always travel to the Minnesota State Fair, where you can get lutefisk on a stick and stuff like that there. If he goes there too, maybe I'll get a chance to meet him up close and poysanal. I'll be waiting by the hog exhibits.

It's worth mentioning that between my comments and another editor's diligent work, the "gay synonyms" article has been whittled down to almost nothing.

I appreciate your kind words. Like you, there are some editors that I know are political opposites from what I think I am, and we get along fine. Others, we don't. I think the secret is not taking it too seriously. That's where some of those others and I part ways. They say they don't like my sense of humor. In particular, I think, they don't like having sacred cows punctured. To me, there are very few sacred cows. Someone told me the other day he thought I was conservative. I countered, "No, I'm old-fashioned." The two are not the same. Maybe you don't know this, but I wave the American flag on my user page, which is a political statement, and those things are frowned upon. However, it's buried in one of the sections you have to open, rather than screaming at the casual visitor. I call myself a liberal American patriot, which sounds like a contradiction. But what it means is that I try to keep an open mind about things, and I celebrate the good fortune of having been born and raised in the USA. To those who might wonder how I could defend the Palin and Obama articles with equal fervor, it's easy: I try to keep the reader in mind; and I don't take either of them seriously enough to become a zealot about them. I've seen many politicians come and go. They all have their pluses and minuses. I couldn't stand Dubya as President, but I didn't personally hate him either, as some left-wing zealots did. I always say about the Prez, "He's not God, he's not the King - he's just a guy, and if we don't like the job he's doing, we can vote him out." That rule applies to Obama as well as Bush. So there's another shaggy dog story, and why I don't have a problem with political opposites who will talk. In real life, I'm thinking about one of my best pals, who is as right wing as they come, and who I ideologically oppose on many issues - and who shares my style of humor (just directed at different politicos), my love of country, and who has what I call a "true Christian" nature, who would give you the shirt off his back if necessary. The best kind of friend you can have. So there's always hope, and we'll just see how things go here as time passes. OK, that was today's sermon. You may now turn to page 191 in your hymnal, as we sing a hymn written by God Himself, and titled, "Joyful, Joyful, Ye Adore Me." Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 05:12, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey Ched. Thanks for the additional tools! Now that a devoted rabblerouser has them too, they don't seem that special and I don't want them any more.

I accept the possibility he might have clicked it by accident, as I've been known to click things by accident, except I usually know I did it and try to reverse it.

← HEY folks - how ya all doin? Sorry I'm so late to my own party. Anyway, snacks are on the counter - help yourselves. OK - first post first. Mal - nope - not seeing anything there at all. I'm guessing that you're asking as far as "can you confirm that you also believe that there is no call for a warning". I'm guessing that due to your often stated disdain for WP:CIV. I concur - nothing to raise a fuss over.
OK - guess I have to address the topic at hand. I'll try to do so without violating my WP:NODRAMA vow. I've read WP:BLOCK, WP:CIV, WP:NPA, and many other related guidelines, essays, and policies. I personally do not like to "block people out". I'd much prefer that we talk to people first. I tend to extend AGF beyond what many folks would consider reasonable. While I can't comment on the various "policy and guideline" pages for a couple days (self-imposed restriction and all), I do think that we need to treat each and every editor with respect and dignity. I think that far too many people have been chased off the project by snide, crude, rude, and downright ignorant comments made by so called "experienced" Wikipedians. I think that if an editor believes that their experience has evolved to the point that they can be downright nasty to other editors - it's time for them to leave, and write their own books which they can submit to a publisher. Wikipedia was developed as an "open project", with the idea that it would be open to any and all editors who wished to contribute. I think that any push to accept vile and hurtful edits, with some foolish nonsense that we're being "frank", is going to bring the project to its knees. I understand that "Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom", but I also believe that if an editor needs to stoop the base language in order to get a point across - then an "encyclopedic project" is not their forte. We should be "evolving" as a species, not de-evolving. We should be helping - not hurting. Many of us learned a lot of "fun" words in 6th grade gym class, but that kind of language has no place in a project that is attempting to impart knowledge to the future generations. Sorry that I can't agree with everyone all the time - but that is my perception. My very best to all. ;-) — Ched : ? 02:58, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you again for your support of the Great Wikipedia Dramaout. Preliminary states indicate that 129 new articles were created, 203 other articles were improved, and 183 images were uploaded. Additionally, 41 articles were nominated for DYK, of which at least 2 have already been promoted. There are currently also 8 articles up for GA status and 3 up for FA/FL status. Though the campaign is technically over, please continue to update the log page at WP:NODRAMA/L with any articles which you worked during the campaign, and also to note any that receive commendation, such as DYK, GA or FA status. You may find the following links helpful in nominating your work:

Hey folks, sorry I haven't done better the last couple days. I'm just not feeling up to snuff lately, but hopefully I can get that "old fart meds" stuff adjusted here soon. — Ched : ? 02:19, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
← Well, I admit that most of my computers are Windows based - but I do have one Red Hat that I'm going to upgrade to Ubuntu here soon. Most of them have AVG on them, but my test PC just got done with trials of G Data, Nod32 (my fav at this point), and I'm putting Kaspersky on this week. I never had much experience with the Macs (other than a print shop that I worked for years ago) - and since 99% of my clients run MS - I do too. Hey Mal - which distro of Linux do you run? And Law - better check that it's not a STD ... lol. — Ched : ? 17:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Just to let you know, I've restored
Wilhelm Buck, which you deleted, since he was an MP half a century ago and I thought we should have an article on him. I didn't think you'd mind and normally wouldn't have brought it up, but I just saw the bruhaha at ANI about a similar case, so I thought I'd let you know.
Cheers,

Thanks for the comment. You need a bit of humor at ANI at times, because some discussions can get quite heated, and if everyone is in a bad mood, editors will end up attacking each other over nonsense instead of trying to resolve the issues that started the discussions in the first place. I've found that when people are in good spirits at ANI, they are less likely to fire at each other and more likely to try and work together to solve their problems.-- The Legendary Sky Attacker 23:57, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
You can't wait to get back to ANI can you? Haha. Law type! snype? 03:50, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello! LOL bio mass makes it sound like cow dung! Thanks for that, I have a log of articles I started myself to now go through, a big task. I don't speak much German either, very basic. I just use google translate to confirm but I think one or two sentences are saying or clikc the link on German wikipedia and find the english articles equivalent. The articles will restarted in due course but at present my aim is to add a reference to any which are a problem. Dr. Blofeld White cat 09:08, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi. In light of recent events and community concerns about the way in which content is transferred I have proposed a new wikiproject which would attempt to address any of the concerns and done in an environment where a major group of editors work together to transfer articles from other wikipedias in the most effective way possible without BLP or referencing problems. Please offer your thoughts at the proposal and whether or not you support or oppose the idea of a wikiproject dedicated to organizing a more efficient process of getting articles in different languages translated into English.

Thank you for your kind and supportive words. I only happened across the Gates articles within the last 24 hours or so, when I was talking with another user about the subject vaguely and thought I should find the actual articles. Then I saw CoM's activity and went to ANI to raise the question and set the record straight about whether the topic ban applied. I wasn't really expecting a block, just a warning (like the one I had given him, which I expected him to ignore). So now I've got clarification on all of that, but with any luck it won't come up again. His usual yapping about us being trolls and such is just "poor me syndrome" stuff. He's unblocked now and hopefully will be more careful the next time. Ironically, the reason the subject of Gates came up was in a talk page about the Apollo hoax stuff, which I've been working with for about 3 years. There have been a number of very belligerent users on that page in the past, which taught me a lot about the process of dealing with such users. The most recent staunch hoax believer is a guy from Bulgaria who thinks it was a hoax and has plenty to say about it. Several of us have had fairly sharp words with him, and he back at us. Yet he's been fairly easy to work with, as he doesn't edit war, and doesn't take things personally in the lively debates we've had. Would that CoM were a little more thick-skinned. But I can't make someone else change their stripes. And that's the way it is. :) Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 06:10, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Baseball Bugs obsessive stalking and harassment of me has continued to be aproblem. Please don't encourage him. He has no need to discuss me and should work to contribute usefully to the encyclopedia. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 18:21, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
If he ever apologizes to me for the way he insulted/trashed my efforts and others' to defend wikipedia from WND on the night of March 8/9, then he need never hear from me again (unless in a good way). Either way, I have tried to avoid him in recent weeks, but when I observe him or anyone violating the rules or violating a topic ban, I'm inclined to report it. He does not have the right to tell me what pages to watch or not watch - an I'm not the one on a topic ban, either. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 18:56, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
←Actually, I had been following the articles a bit myself. I'll admit, I've trusted some of the news sources more that the WP article for info, but I have read through some of the stuff. It appears that the possibilities of a "sit down" and having a "beer" are becoming very viable options. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the rest of the world could do the same? Given some of the tensions in various "hot spots" on a global level though ... I'm not gonna hold my breath for that one ... lol. ;)
On a side note, I need to run out for a bit - but I'll be back in a couple hours. Hopefully nothing will get any worse here. — Ched : ? 20:45, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
sorry Ched
Your name-got it confused with the guy who use to be head of samaritans ( I only just found your comment today by having to go all over the place on this site and by chance came across it-so may have missed anyhting else you have written
I found it hard to easily-(or with difficulty-) find a way of replying to your note-in terms of navigation around the site to find the correct reply function
So sorry if this is reply is in the wrong place
Many thanks with the last item you posted .
I have tried to add the ref for NTAS-with back up support ref
Alas I have eliminated your edit aspect which demonstrated quoting refs as I attempted to add the supporting ref.
I must be wrong but to me- it looks pretty much finsihed-please let me know if and what needs some attention
Again many many thanks for your kind work and help

I wanted to take a moment to delivery a personal thank you (not "thank spam" :)) for your involvement in my RfA. (It passed 117-2-7 in case you hadn't seen.) I appreciated that you took the time to write a detailed support statement and your kind words about reasoning skills and calm demeanor brought a smile to my face. As such, your "pile-on" support was much appreciated. I look forward to working with you in the future and to serving the community in my new role.
