Hello there, I am planning to add population statistics to Ballyronan. As the NINIS site only holds statistics on villages with a population of over 500, I was wondering for example, how you got the population for Killinchy. Derry Boi has suggested contacting them directly; did you email NINIS with a Freedom of Information request? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, EJF ( talk) 23:00, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
No problem at all! I feel honored when someone cites or quotes me. I makes me feel like I've said or done something worthwhile. Further up that page are quotes from others. I only borrow from the best. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 18:46, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you muchly for your support in
my recent request for adminship, which was successfully closed on 76%, finishing at 73 supports, 23 opposes and 1 neutral. The supports were wonderful, and I will keep in mind the points made in the useful opposes and try to suppress the Larry David in me! Now I'm off to issue some cool down blocks, just to get my money's worth!
Kidding btw. All the best, Deacon of Pndapetzim ( Talk) 11:28, 5 March 2008 (UTC) |

Hi. You recently warned that IP editor for vandalism to the Lewis Latimer page. Do you feel that after a final warning and a block, the counter should be reset to one when the contributor goes back a few days later to the same article and adds nonsense [1], rather than giving a longer block than the last one? Thanks. Edison ( talk) 19:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
[2] Total respect to you for that. It's not that I don't agree with your opinion, it's just as I said, kind of, unhelpful. Thanks again. Pedro : Chat 23:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Do you have an automatic bot, which can immediately revert vandalism? That would be helpful if you use automatic bot to fight vandalism. His last block is 390 hours. Thats the school IP directory of Orange County I think. Yes, most IP is used for vandalism, and let me know if any IP vandalises any page. I will notify the admins.-- Freewayguy ( Webmail) 00:21, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for putting Cariigadrohid into townlands of county cork,although it is a town! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonmccarthy ( talk • contribs) 12:58, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
How did you put in the box in Cariigadrohid?-- Jonmccarthy ( talk) 13:12, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
I noticed your comments on the Geni rfa, and I thought I'd kudos you for a nicely-spoken vote. You've been cropping up more and more around the wiki, and I'll be keeping my eye on you for adminship in the future, if you're interested ;) Plus, you're in the "three-letter-username" club, so you get auto-Kudos! Best regards and happy editing, AGK § 22:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
I left the following comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PEI Media When you search for the brand name Private Equity International, rather than the company name PEI Media, you get better results. The news references at http://news.google.com/news?q=%22Private+Equity+International%22 seem sufficient. -- Eastmain ( talk) 23:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I recently tried moving the page Wellington College, Belfast to Wellington College Belfast (the Belfast is part of the school's name) by cutting and pasting the contents of the first page to the second and by adding a redirect to the first. I now know, thanks to you, that this was not the right thing to do. I should have used the "move tab." I'd like to do that now but I can't see that move tab. I was just wondering if you'd be so kind as to move the article for me. I'm new to editing and your help would be much appreciated. SuperlativeHors ( talk) 13:17, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey EJF, thanks for your support on my recently unsuccessful RfA. I really appreciate you throwing a couple questions my way, as that was the only way I was going to have a shot at succeeding - by showing that although my experience was only 4 months / 5K edits, I DO know policy. Balloonman is now on board as my co-coach, and I'll make another run in a few months. I hope to have your support on that one. Thanks again - Tanthalas39 ( talk) 16:01, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank you for your support in my RFA. The final vote count was (73/3/1), so I am now an administrator. Please let me know if at any stage you need help, or if you have comments on how I am doing as an admin. Have a nice day! :) Aleta Sing 17:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC) |

Please, don´t delete the UEFA 2009-2010. There is information about the slots that each country would have and I can complete it —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gurron ( talk • contribs) 22:01, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Indeed, no, you were not one of the editors I was referring to. And by the way, I changed my vote to "neutral" once Martijn acknowledged he had made an ill choice of words with his "boiling under the skin" remark. I'm not looking to be mollycoddled here, and if someone disagrees with what I do I'm always happy to talk it over. What's dispiriting and discouraging, though, is the utter lack of humanity, of compassion shown by some here -- note for instance the individual who twice said I've "unmasked" myself, and three times said my vote there "basically guarantees" any future RfA of mine is bound to fail. So if six months or a year pass and I make no further "controversial" edits, then that one vote - justifiable and soon changed - will outweigh all the good I'm sure I'll do here until then. It sort of lets one down, I think, though I'll try to get over it and move on. Biruitorul ( talk) 16:33, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
