New York City Meetup
|
In the morning, there are exciting plans for a behind-the-scenes guided tour of the American Museum of Natural History.
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to discussing meta:Wikimedia New York City issues (see the last meeting's minutes).
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list. - UtherSRG (talk) 05:24, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey NHRHS, I've left a comment regarding your oppose. Best regards, Rudget . 18:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
I was able to see what you mentioned in this. Thanks! :) Acalamari 00:15, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

...for your support in my recently closed Request for Adminship. I am more than a bit stunned by the outcome, which appears to have finished at 146 supports, no opposes, and one abstention. I am particularly grateful to Keilana and Kingboyk for their recent encouragement, and most specifically to Pastordavid, for having seen fit to nominate me. I also want to make it very clear to everyone that I have no intentions of changing my name again, so the servers should be safe for a while.
In the event you ever believe that I would ever able to assist in the future, I would be honored if you were to contact me regarding the matter. I can't guarantee results, unfortunately, but I will do what I can. Thank you again.
By the way, I know the image isn't necessarily appropriate, but I am rather fond of it, and it at least reflects the degree of honor I feel at the result. And it's hard to go wrong with a Picture of the Year candidate.
Now, off to a few last tasks before starting work in earnest on the various templates I promised I'd work on.
John Carter ( talk) 21:49, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi NHRHS2010 - thanks for your participation in my request for adminship. I'm glad that you saw no reason to oppose, and I'll try not to give you any after the fact. Anyway, the RfA passed 52/0/0, and I'm now in possession of a shiny new mop. If I can ever help you with anything, please don't hesitate to contact me. Sarcasticidealist ( talk) 08:10, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I apologise if my comments truly offended you. This was not the intend. I understand where you are coming from stating that you have a problem with a certain user; almost all of us have experiences issues at some point in our wiki careers. However it's usually best to directly contact the editor you have a problem with instead of bring it up in "public forum". Again, I apologise if I really did offend you, and hope you consider what I said. :) Mønobi 21:23, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
My request for adminship was successful at 64/1/2! Many thanks for your participation and I will endeavor to meet your expectations. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR ( Converse) 09:04, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
This is complete BULL. I should not have my Wiki editing blocked because of putting factual information down in it!
Gig IS a character from Soul Nomad & The World Eaters, just as he is a character in "Hotwheels accelaracers" or whatever it is. And your claim that I have not provided a source is a LIE. I gave you a Wiki source for heavens sake!
No "Vandalisim" occured. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.181.4.181 ( talk) 00:30, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
... and TW for removing sockpuppet vandalism to my Talk page. All the best, Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 00:33, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
You say that what i wrote was vandalism. This is not true because what i wrote was a fact. According to the EU the country is called FYROM Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia and shouold not be called anything else. It is my strong belief that the people of this country are taking history from other countries which does not belong to them. This country should never be refered to just as the Rep. of Macedonia nor should it have the name Macedonia in its title. The name Rep. of Macedonia should not be allowed on wiki because really this is not just blatent vandalism, but also theft and fraud.
If you looked it up, You'd see it isn't against rules to edit your own talk page however you see fit. So go ahead and request a block. I did nothing wrong. Good day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.175.183.44 ( talk) 04:05, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I have removed your joke on your user page. User pages are a privilege to facilitate building an encyclopedia, not a right to use as you please. They are there to communicate information to others, not to fool them. John Vandenberg ( talk) 10:35, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey there, I'm writing to inform you that I have withdrawn my request for adminship, which was currently standing at 11 supports, 22 opposes and 6 neutrals. This count could have been so much better if I had understood policy, although I believe that 17 questions is a lot to ask of a user's first RfA. I will take on all comments given at the RfA and will endeavour to meet the high expectations of the RfA voters. WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN play it cool. 21:48, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Why thank you! I've always been a tireless contributor, but this is the first time I've been recognized for it :-).
It seems I have one of each now ... no one's ever given me the same barnstar twice. Wonder what I can win next?
And thank you for putting it right on my user page.
Also, a belated "you're welcome" for the thanks you gave me for reverting the attacks on your userpage. Just doin' my job, as they would say in the old days. But appreciation is appreciated. Daniel Case ( talk) 23:22, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I would like to thank Wizardman for nominating me, FlyingLeopard2014/Archives/2008/01 and everyone else for their support and comments. I'll continue with contributing to the encyclopedia's content (hopefully writing an FA here and there :) and will help out with admin-related tasks which you just entrusted me with. If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask! Thanks again, —dima /talk/ 01:46, 26 January 2008 (UTC) |
No, I'm afraid not yet, but maybe later. I don't participate in AFD enough now. I really can't put the time and effort I'd like to to really be an admin now. I have rollback, which is good enough right now. Maybe later. Thanks for asking! Spencer T♦ C 17:46, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Although it failed 43/27/0, I'm happy because the outcome has been very helpful in many meaningful ways. Your support and remarks contributed so much to this. If you followed my RfA you know what happened. Most of the editors who posted opposing opinions have never edited with me. Some articles I edit deal with controversial topics and with respect to a very few of these, editors who didn't know much about me had some worries about confrontational editing and civility. Since I support their high standards I can easily (and will gladly) address this. The support and ecouragement to run again soon has been wonderful, thanks again. Cheers! Gwen Gale ( talk) 05:28, 26 January 2008 (UTC) |
Hi, I see you're a beginner photographer as I am, only you've got better equipment. Alas, my old, primitive and broken little camera isn't the main thing wrong with my pictures; the main reasons my pictures come out badly is my lack of understanding of darkness and light and mist. Oh, well, I keep trying and studying my failures, and only upload the best 2% of my pictures. If it's an article that already has pictures, only my best 1% have a chance of being better than the ones already there. For example I too took a Circle Line ride, and I made more than 200 pictures including all the bridges except the 145th Street one, but most of them were too poor to go in Wikipedia except in articles that had no previous picture. When we can't make many good pictures, we can go on making pictures, but we must only upload a few. If you go on Circle Line again, be sure to snap all the bridges, and probably several of your shots will be good enough to replace mine. Jim.henderson ( talk) 02:35, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
I noticed you put pictures of the Amtrak and New Jersey Transit sections on the Penn Station article. Did you take these yourself or did they come from somewhere else? I'm asking this because if you did, would it be possible for you to get a picture from the Long Island Rail Road section the next time you go back there? Then we would have a picture from all 3 sections. Murjax ( talk) 06:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
I hope that by performing more edits on Wikipedia in the next few months that I could possibly change your mind by my next RfA, possibly around May 2008. - Jameson L. Tai talk ♦ contribs 05:16, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
