Hey, i'm ChezSant, thanks for help into my user page. Now first, about that image that is a simullation of MDST, i got it while playing FS, and i added, but it is not important anymore, because Andrew merged the article into the main page. About AA and SY's logo, why did you erase those images? what did i do that those images can't be into MY USER PAGE? And the other image (Continental 777), why did you nominated it by speedy deletation? i think it was because the copyright (MY COPYRIGHT), but realy i don't understand people here!!, i post an image without copyright, and it is under fair use, and i put the copyright, its under fair use too!!!! so what is happening with u???? also the image in PUJ Intl was with WIKIPEDIA'S COPYRIGHTING BY MY USER NAME, seriously i don understand you ether those pages that talk about that!!! Please tell me the last time what do i have to do so this couldn't happend again???? Thanks for reading, i hope you to understand me! - thanks 4 all - ChezSant ( talk) 22:07, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Lara. As you are such a good person for reviewing articles, and you do a fab job at it, could you possibly do a little favour. I've been working on the 1995 Japanese Grand Prix article which was just failed at FAC. I've decided to take it to peer review. As you are such a good reviewer, could you possibly zoom over (not that fast!) to review it? Is that OK? Thanks, D.M.N. ( talk) 15:04, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

User:Paul Gene is working this up for FAC and I have reviewed it before. Problem is, both of us working in the field may lapse into jargon without realising it, thus we need someone from way outside the bio-medical end of it who may otherwise have a passing interest when I noticed your BPD userbox. Doesn't have to be detailed as the article is ahem rather dry, but anything which is really hard to trudge through would be great if you could point it out.

I just wanted to drop in and give you a heads up that your recent actions were (IMHO anyways) highly inappropriate and, really, against policy. Specifically, our blocking policy tells us that "purpose of blocking is prevention, not punishment". Further, it tells us that "Administrators should also be aware of potential conflicts of interest". I believe you have a conflict of interest regarding Betacommand, and that your actions (unprotecting the page and blocking me for edit warring with Betacommand) were merely an extension of your favor for him. Finally, your actions occurred over eight hours after the incident and after it had already been handled by another administrator. Undoing another administrators actions is typically frowned upon, and I'd advise against doing it again in the future (especially so long after the incident had been dealt with).
I'm trying really hard to keep discussion going on the Bot policy page so we can move past our disagreements, but your actions have been chilling and unhelpful. I'd appreciate it if you used more care and forethought in your administrator actions. Thanks for your time. — Locke Cole • t • c 01:37, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Regarding my short retirement, I'm srsly not one to retire for two days. I know there are editors who retire on a regular basis for any length of time between 15 minutes and a couple weeks, and I find them to be incredibly dramatic to epic annoying proportions. When I retired, I had no intention of returning any time soon.
In the time that I have been here, I have met many amazing people. Those who I am fortunate enough to call my friends, and those who have read my defense of the Bathrobe Cabal, know that I consider my online friends to be no different than my local friends. I care about them all the same. One person in particular has become extremely important to me. I have displayed many times in various places what his support, encouragement and inspiration have meant to me, how much I cherish him and our friendship, and how I utterly adore him. For many months, through many dramatic (I have Borderline, cut me some slack) ups and downs, I have considered him to be my best friend. So, when he left not only the project, but also me, I was left with no desire to edit. I had to take a break from my volunteer work on a project that reminded me of such an unfortunate loss.
I put up a retirement banner rather than a wikibreak banner because no one ever respects those. I didn't want requests on my talk page or notices of discussions. I planned to come back whenever I was ready. The kind words here, on AN, in IRC and through e-mail are all very much appreciated. I certainly did not expect such a response. I guess I didn't really think about that at all. It was heartwarming and I cannot express how much everyone's concern means to me. This project is flawed in countless ways, but the community is what always prevails for me, and that is what keeps me here. That people who disagree, who have had nasty arguments, or have never even crossed paths, can appreciate the work that one has done and be genuinely concerned and saddened at the loss of such an editor. It's a beautiful thing.
With that said, I've been forcefully unretired, as he put it, by the_undertow, and hopefully I'm here to stay. And, although I continue to be saddened by the loss of the editor and administrator who brought so much laughter and joy to so many on this project, who was the cornerstone for my own adminship and the one who encouraged me to be myself, and who drunk dialed my talk page with hilarity on a semi-regular basis, I am resolve to keep these memories as fond ones and continue on with our friendship that long ago transcended Wikipedia.
As for the rumor about my leg, this is what it looks like now. Tomorrow should be excruciatingly painful, as was Monday. I'll be sure to update. But for those who haven't heard, it was thought to be a Brown Recluse bite, but what looked like necrosis was not. It's a spider bite that led to a bacterial infection and turned into an abscess. They cut and drained it Monday. Tomorrow is follow-up. Wish me luck... and painlessness, kthxbai. Lara ❤ Love 03:06, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Err, don't know what else to say, but welcome back after the 2-day retirement. How did it feel? OhanaUnited Talk page 19:53, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

User RDOlivaw has attempted to use open proxies to evade his ban and is now creating havoc in the Wi-Fi talk page. I appeal to you to take action since you have investigated his sock puppetry case before. Refer to wi-Fi talk page and also its history. See also [6] in case he removed the evidence again. If this isn't the right channel to report, I hope you can forward it to the relevant admin. Thanks. CleanUpX ( talk) 07:21, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Knew you wouldn't stay away for so long. That spider bite looks rough. BTW, its probably not a brown recluse, since their only really native to the Ozarks, and you really gotta piss it off to get it to bite. For some strange reason, every unknown spider bite is blamed on the Brown Recluse, which is weird since a) its a kinda rare spider b) it doesn't really bite all that often, and c) though poisonous, its not overly known for necrosis problems. But this is just me being a know-it-all. Anyhoo, good to have you back. L8R... -- Jayron32. talk. contribs 17:59, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

User RDOlivaw has attempted to use open proxies to evade his ban and is now creating havoc in the Wi-Fi talk page. I appeal to you to take action since you have investigated his sock puppetry case before. Refer to wi-Fi talk page and also its history. See also [6] in case he removed the evidence again. If this isn't the right channel to report, I hope you can forward it to the relevant admin. Thanks. CleanUpX ( talk) 07:21, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Knew you wouldn't stay away for so long. That spider bite looks rough. BTW, its probably not a brown recluse, since their only really native to the Ozarks, and you really gotta piss it off to get it to bite. For some strange reason, every unknown spider bite is blamed on the Brown Recluse, which is weird since a) its a kinda rare spider b) it doesn't really bite all that often, and c) though poisonous, its not overly known for necrosis problems. But this is just me being a know-it-all. Anyhoo, good to have you back. L8R... -- Jayron32. talk. contribs 17:59, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
