Hello. I was wondering if I could request a clarification on the 'reads like an advertisement' tag for the California Council on Science and Technology? Thank you. -- Mdd820 ( talk) 19:06, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
As you are a nice Wikipedian, I just wanted to wish you a happy Independence Day! And if you are not an American, then have a happy day and a wonderful weekend anyway! :) Your friend and colleague, --Happy Independence Day! Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles Tally-ho! 00:45, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Mizu - I was just wondering where you wanted to take this article next. Hopefully we've now done enough to get it through the GA review, but I think if we're going for FA, one of the points raised may be that the article over-uses direct quotation. It's perfectly possible to rework these into prose (with the same sourcing), but of course it will mean another copyedit. What do you think? EyeSerene talk 12:58, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Greatest of thanks! -- Mizu onna sango15/ Discuss 21:17, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible) system - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 22:38, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the support! | |
Coralmizu, it is my honor to report that thanks in part to your support my third request for adminship passed (80/18/2). I appreciate the trust you and the WP community have in me, and I will endeovour to put my newly acquired mop and bucket to work for the community as a whole. Yours sincerly and respectfuly, TomStar81 ( Talk) 02:53, 9 July 2008 (UTC) |
Guess who FINALLY got one review!!! :D
L337* P4wn 04:42, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
It's quite alright! It's when you, (and the public), think you are ready. Talk to you later! L337* P4wn 23:54, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Wait...what? The RfA starts tomorrow? 0_0
L337* P4wn 00:00, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Psshhh, like I'd have anything else better to do. So, do we start now?
I'm metally time-insane... >.< Forgive me.
L337* P4wn 00:06, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Heh Heh. Alright! Tell me what we decide, so I can co/nominate you! L337* P4wn 00:16, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
That's fine! Let's do this! :D L337* P4wn 00:21, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Ready! L337* P4wn 01:27, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
I left a note on the talkpage of your RfA. I wish you had let it run a bit. In my brief look at your history here, I was impressed, and I think others would have been as well. One way or the other, I have now watchlisted this page, and I hope you reapply again soon. Keep up the good work on the project. We need more editors (and admins) like you. S. Dean Jameson 03:16, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Hey Mizu. Please don't withdraw your RfA just yet - I think you have a real chance to succeed and I probably will be in the minority. Just give it 24 hours? Ryan Postlethwaite 03:16, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Cheers, and Happy editing!

I've archived this for you... I'm sure you'll do better next time :) Good luck for the future! weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 07:24, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Better luck next time! You had an okay run. L337* P4wn 08:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Hey, do not let this get you down, I think you are a great resource for the project and have learned very quickly from any early mistakes you've made - and absolutely none of those are anything major. Get a few months more editing under your belt, and I'm sure your next nomination will be a success! In addition to your fine mentor, I'd be happy to help you in any way I can, just drop a note on my talk page or email. Keep your spirits up! Dreadstar † 15:37, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

I've smiled at you because you are a great user who is an amazing asset to the project. And someday, you'll be an even more amazing admin. Keep up the great work! MBisanz talk |
Hey Mizu - missed all the drahma, but I have to say I think you made the right decision. Your RfA might have gone on to pass, although I think if I'd seen it I too would have had doubts about supporting on the evidence given (though I probably wouldn't have opposed either). Adminning is all about demonstrating good judgement, and while some of your past calls were a little off, in withdrawing I think you've proved you can make the right call even when it must be personally painful for you. You've shown your quality, and you're only a bit more experience away from making a fantastic admin. Be sure to let me know next time you're up (that's not a WP:CANVASS vio, btw; I'm explicitly requesting it!), and if you ever need anything in the meantime...
PS: If you need a break from our throat-slitting barber for a while, no worries. Just drop me a note ;) EyeSerene talk 17:04, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Good job on getting the article to GA status! Well done -- Corn.u.co.pia ŢĐЌ Disc.us.sion 03:30, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your support at my RFA, which closed successfully. I will do my best to be a strong asset to the project, once I have gone round and thanked all the participants. Times like this I wish I knew how to do decent HTML graphic templates. Ah well, guess it's the hand-typed and personalised thank you letters instead... Seriously though, your support means a lot, and I won't let you down! (I hope) StephenBuxton ( talk) 21:19, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! | |
Coralmizu, it is with deep awareness of the responsibility conferred by your trust that I am honored to report that in part to your support, my request for adminship passed (87/14/6). I deeply value the trust you and the Wikipedia community have in me, and I will embark on a new segment of my Wikipedia career by putting my new tools to work to benefit the entire community. My best to you, Happyme22 ( talk) 03:22, 16 July 2008 (UTC) |
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate that you were just as perplexed as I was regarding Macy's accusation and request to have me stay away from RfA permanently. I never understood where that came from and thought that it was nothing more than an over-exaggeration to rather innocuous comments. Wisdom89 ( T / C) 07:15, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
I noticed that you recently placed the {{ subst: uw-username}} template on User talk:Kennyhotz. You did not, however, use the extra parameter to this template to specify a reason why the username violates policy. To me, and probably others, it is not clear what you think is wrong with the username. In the future, please use {{ subst: uw-username|your reason here}} in order to tell the user the reason you think their username violates the username policy. Thank you. Is he back?

Hello, since you were involved in the
