Do you have anything to do with User:Deathphoenix? Redwolf24 07:37, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for removing that VfD tag; I forgot to do that when I closed the debate. -- Essjay · Talk 10:14, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
Just noticed you signed my user page, so thanks. Makes me feel good to be noticed. (Usually I ask where you saw me, but it was just minutes ago :) I'll take the time to make two quick notes. First, sorry if I sounded crabby about the speedying bands thing, but lately I've been spending more time on CSD removing bogus tagging that certain people keep doing despite warning (reasons like: "advertising," "dicdef," "not notable," etc. = blech) than actually deleting things. So it's not directed at you. Second I like to give people praise, as I think we all need more of it. I have to say that I've seen you around on NP patrol, and seen some good work. So thanks and keep it up! Anyway, have a good day. And don't worry, your signature looks beautiful to me. It has that elegant simplicity that comes from functionality. :) -- Dmcdevit· t 08:14, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
An anonymous user recently did some major moving around of pages on the WikiProject, which I have reverted. I told the anon that I felt that such major changes should at least have some discussion first before being made. I also disagreed with the changes, so I personally would oppose the changes that were made. I just wanted to let you know, since you've been a pretty active participant in the project. EvilPhoenix talk 23:47, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
thanks for changing the talk page attack on me. I appreciate it. out of curiosity, how did you happen to notice it?
On another note, I recently changed a link on a person's talk page (dangerous boy) to reflect the fact that i had moved the page, and he got angry at me... what is the official wikipolicy on changing another users pages? (not that i minded yours by any means - i appreciated it greatly)

Hi Evilphoenix - you wrote: I edited {{ Radio-stub}} to make it more general, while most of the stubs are about programs, I felt the stub should encompass all of radio, as I was also tagging a radio station article with it, and there are a few other radio station articles tagged.
Freelance journalists are often notable, so I feel that mentioning that someone is a freelance journalist is an assertion of notability. Some certainly aren't notable, but that's what VfD is for. Anyway, looks like another admin has a different definition of what asserts notability so it's moot point now. JYolkowski // talk 23:40, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
That makes perfect sense. I just reverted to the original way, but you are right. Personally, I don't think four test templates are even necessary. I usually do Test2, then Test4. If problems persist after that, I request a ban. Ryan 04:21, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
Hi, perhaps that was a bit quick on the trigger? The discussion was not seven-day old yet and a general consensus was not forming. As you might notice, the rename votes were generally not backed up by valid reasons while the delete votes were. Furthermore, those who voted rename generally have at best preliminary knowledge in the Chinese language. What do you suggest that i do now, as the advocate for deletion of the "Chiangchun" article? Should i start a VfD for Jiangjun as well? Thanks. -- Plastictv 05:31, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
Hi, sorry to bother you but i'm not very sure with what to do in this matter. A vote on renaming Category:Heroes of the Three Kingdoms had been conducted and the decision is to rename to Category:People of the Three Kingdoms. Besides creating the new category, should i keep an archive of the discussion in the talk page of the new category? And could you help delete the old one? Does it work like that? Thanks so much! :) -- Plastictv 14:10, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
Hey, no I'm not an admin (I suggested Dbraceyrules wait a month or so) and so I do go closing the keep VfDs for "fun and relaxation"! I had to revert myself over a debate you had closed, last night (my time) too. I suppose it must be a browser caching problem though I'm not sure why a transclusion would cause a browser to cache the page. I've also sped the process up some by giving myself buttons for closing VfDs, and putting messages to that effect on the article talk pages — you can steal them from in amongst my monobook.js if you don't have something similar. I mean to add a button for rm'ing the tag from articles too, but didn't get around to it yet. - Splash 16:10, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
Hey thanks for adding the category line to my pages on Aunt Josephine and Ike Anwhistle, I guess I forgot it when I typed up the page :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.42.175.98 ( talk • contribs) 00:37, August 21, 2005
They shouldn't both point to "votes". Uncle G is working hard on a rename and some other user was messing it up. Fixed now. R adiant _>|< 08:38, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the support on my RfA. I was very pleasantly surprised to see so much support throughout the week. It was particularly good to receive enthusiastic support from editors with whom I haven't interacted directly. Please do keep an eye on me and my logs, especially while I'm learning the ropes with the new buttons. Thanks again! - Splash 23:58, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

i just had the name wikilinked because the character is named after those particular magicians: harry houdini, harry blackstone, and david copperfield.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.21.100.186 ( talk • contribs) 17:09, September 13, 2005.
Hi. The first entry on that article was "Abinadi Mesa is a Minneapolis-based artist." The second one wasn't much bigger. I'm pleased you expanded it, but there was very little to go by initially. I think that my decision was justified and I thank you for pointing out that this entry could have been justified and was. - Lucky 6.9 04:30, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Now that I reread that...did I make sense? I swear, the only thing I've had to drink tonight is a Diet Coke. :) - Lucky 6.9 05:14, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Hey, I noticed your link on your user page. From the looks of that page and your user talk page, I personally think you'd be an excellent candidate. I'd be happy to nominate you if/when you feel the time is right. However I should point out that I've only been here 2-3 months myself so I'd understand if you'd prefer it done by someone less green. Unless you've been doing evil things that I haven't yet noticed, you can count on my support whenever you get nominated, regardless of who does it. Friday (talk) 18:02, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
I would like to invite you to join the newly formed WikiProject Drum Corps, a WikiProject for the expansion of all things drum corps. If you'd like, add your name to the list of members, and lend a hand in some of the things we have yet to do! There's plenty lying around, but even a small contibution is very welcome. Hope to see you lending your knowledge to our growing collection of drum corps articles! Mr Bound 18:49, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
In response to your comment on my User Talk. I was only atempting to delete a comment that I made right before I had signed up as a member because I didn't like it the way it was. I wanted to rewrite it and put my signature on it so that people wouldn't just ignore it. I wasn't maliciously trying to delete some one else comment. Man of Mystery 00:54, 16 September 2005
Please consider withdrawing your AfD nom - see the Dutch Wikipedia article. Thanks. Guettarda 02:06, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Sure. The Clemson University article has been temporarily protected due to vandalism. -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 04:42, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Oops! Thanks for the heads up... ah well, you know what they say: vote early, vote often. Grutness... wha? 23:44, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
I don't know if there's been any discussion about and consensus reached regarding the Harry Potter templates, so don't take this as supporting or condemning your changes, just as a friendly tip to save you time in the event that what you're doing isn't violating any sort of consensus. Okay, disclaimer done :-) (For the record, I myself like the templates. But I'd rather have one definite way of doing things than having them switched back and forth constantly.)
Instead of changing each and every {{CoS}} (just to use one as an example) to [[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets|Chamber of Secrets]], you can just visit Template:CoS and change the text there to your preferred version. That will, I believe, automatically change every instance in which it is used. -- Icarus 18:44, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
Good point - nn-bio was the wrong choice for the speedy tag. On your advice, I nominated it as an Afd. And thanks for the encouragement: it certainly takes the bite off of an otherwise "downer" (although justified!) comment. :) Also, thanks to your comment, I noticed that there are two articles to be dealt with here: "Greeno Sub Shop" and Greeno Sub Shop. The former has been changed to a RD, and the latter nominated for AfD. Cheers! Peruvianllama 04:26, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
Yes, I can see that it isn't very easy to get much out of the talk page at French ensigns. The style of discussion is definitely not easy to follow. The AfD page isn't much better. I agree that it isn't worth reverting to the deleted version without more consensus, I just felt that it was a bit hasty to call the deletion "vandalism", since it was actually moving material to another page, which is the preferred option of all but one (vocal) user on that page. JPD 17:00, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Remember to revert to the unvandalised version. Happy editign.

The reason I voted for you was because you were removing vandalism. If you cant vote for me for the same reason than obviusly you do not regard it as a reason to vote for someone, so my vote for you, for with the same reason can't happen as you dont regard it as a reason -- ☺Adam1213☺| talk 06:39, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
