Please stop moving out the infoboxes from the country articles. There's no need for that, and no consensus. Gzornenplatz 23:28, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)
Hello. On Template talk:Europe you seem to have made a lot of votes, but by each new vote you made, you also deleted the previous vote you had made. It is strange and confusing, so see for yourself. Out of the six votes you made, currently only one is visible (Akrotiri and Dhekelia). Is that what you intended? If not, can you fix it? Thanks. — Cantus… ☎ 05:00, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
Regarding the (Flag - Country) templates you created, is there a list somewhere of which countries have which template code? I'd like to include the templates in the UN member list, for instance, but don't want to have to try all of them until I find the correct ones... Thanks! Nightstallion 08:40, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
You should be able to find the flag templates by using IS0 3166-1 alpha-3 codes or the IOC country codes. Parmaestro 13:56, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
{{ IND}} is used in many places, and changing it for a completely different use foesn't work, unfortunately. -- SPUI ( talk) 16:58, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for responding to my question. One other detail: are the majority of coins you encounter Austrian? LeoO3 00:30, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
You might be interested in the European Union project. Parmaestro 06:52, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
You expressed interest in an ISO flag template: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Flag_Template#ISO_template ( SEWilco 06:18, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC))
I see from your user page that you are a multilingual Wikipedian in a great level. Admirable. Anyway, I found you through the category of users of advanced knowledge of Latin because I have that cool three-word motto that I came up with the other day to use it as an advocate for AMA and I'd like to know how it is in Latin. I myself know nothing of the language. Ευχαριστώ προκαταβολικά.-- Bill the Greek 10:21, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
As I told you, I am using a public computer to access Wikipedia, and it happened that the day before yesterday the Internet connection over there had a problem. Then I came again yesterday and the Internet was all right, but I couldn't enter Wikipedia! I could access several sites and I could not access Wikipedia, nor any other sister project, as well as another irrelevant page. They told me that the computers had no problem and there must have been a thing with the site, but today I am here and there is nothing in the Signpost. What is going on here?-- Bill the Greek 06:32, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
In any case, don't you think this piece of your talk page is getting too long? Maybe you should drop over my talk page. I could need a little bit of talking. If it's all right with you. -- Bill the Greek 08:50, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
Nah, scratch that, they are kicking me out of here. Anyway, I will try to come in again in Monday. You know I really need some talking. So long for know. -- Bill the Greek 09:01, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
Now scratch that too, I am back again. These guys here are constantly trying to break my nerves. They don't know one thing, however: it's impossible! -- 62.103.82.230 09:23, 29 July 2005 (UTC) Sorry, forgot to log in. Now I'm OK.-- Bill the Greek 09:25, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
Why, you thought that I stopped dropping in? When I said "I won't have time," I meant "...by the time I start lessons". I only today got the school books! Anyway, I haven't said my final word. You know where to find me. -- Bill the Greek 12:08, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Nightstallion, may I suggest that maybe ナイットスタリオン sounds closer to "Nightstallion" than the ナイトスタリオン you're currently using. I only had a year of Japanese, and that was a little while ago, but I like the Katakana you're using! - grubber 12:24, 2005 August 5 (UTC)
There is an ongoing poll here about the use of a Disclaimer stating that "Wikipedia has no official position concerning the use of the name Republic of Macedonia etc.". As in previous cases (most notably the Macedonians/Macedonian Slavs poll) this poll would be decided by grossly nationalistic voting.
The author of the poll told me this:
As a fellow Wikipedian, I can not be more than terrified by this statement. Not surprisingly, the "For the disclaimer" vote is 100% composed of ethnic Greek votes, and currently it is in the lead. It is in my deepest belief that Wikipedia should not mould under the pressure of nationalism (from neither side). That is precisely why I am abstaining of the poll, stating my reasons here.
Please, your possible avoidance of entering in the negotiations of Balkan issues like the plague is causing Balkan disputes to conform to nationalist narratives (logically, to the narrative of the biggest nationality), and this is something that is done in direct opposition to NPOV policy. It is mostly up to neutrals to decide on the issue, and it is only up to them to stop nationalism. So, please, participate in the discussion, or in the poll. -- FlavrSavr 15:04, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Hello! I saw you listed as one of our rare users who are good at Latin. Would you be willing to help translating a bit of text from English into Latin? Let me know please. Yours, R adiant _>|< 09:49, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
Croatian, Hungarian, and Slovenian (and perhaps other languages) have official status in some municipalities in Austria. Could you please tell me in which ones, if you know. I'm tying to find out for the list of official languages by state page. – Zntrip 03:25, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your help. – Zntrip 23:20, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
I added the languages to the list. Could you check it to make sure that it is correct? – Zntrip 22:32, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
I don't understand? Territories, states, and subnational entities are encluded on the list. – Zntrip 00:51, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Ok, I understand know. Gemeinde, if possible, should be included (instead of the state that they are in) on the list. Thanks for looking anyway. – Zntrip 22:44, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
By the way the address at the bottom of the link could help [1], but I don't know German so I could be wrong. – Zntrip 22:48, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Thank you very much. :) – Zntrip 00:57, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
On the list, statewide always refers to the country. Languages in parenthesis that have a province, state, municipality, etc. inside of them are regional languages in said area. Languages with statewide minority language after them are languages that have minority status throughout the nation. Hope that makes it clearer. (¿€0.02 = Two cents? I don't get it) – Zntrip 04:11, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
But in Austria isn’t it written €0,02 with a comma? ;) Thanks for the advice on the page and for your help. – Zntrip 23:13, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for going through all the effort of converting Champions League links to UEFA Champions League. However, although I understand it was done in good faith, could you please refrain from changing comments people have made on talk pages (such as mine on Talk:UEFA Cup). Partly because it damages the historical context that the comments were made in (i.e. when Champions League really did point to the relevant page), and partly because editing other people's comments without their permission, for whatever reason, is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia. Thank you. Qwghlm 11:26, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
At link repair you said that " Nassau and Nassau (disambiguation) need to be switched." Why is that? Also, could I remove your signature from the project page's "Done" section, the flag and katakana are a little distracting and you can always bring up any issues on the disucssion page? Thanks for contributing to the project! -- Commander Keane 15:41, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
Also, Northern Alliance has about 30 article links to it, so why is it in the "Done" section, are they very recent additions? -- Commander Keane 17:07, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

The challenge has been put aside (for some time), but not forgotten! Do we still want to do this? BD2412 talk 17:51, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
Hello! I hope you're well. I'd like to thank you for participating in the vote earlier to include the HDI in the country infobox/template. Yay!
After a lengthy gestation, a discussion piece has been prepared to help give form to the vote. If you've a preference for how and where this information should appear in the infobox, I'd appreciate it if you head on over there and comment. :)
After a decision is arrived at, if at all, I'm also hopeful to prevail upon you to add the values (if you're willing and comfortable) for a handful of countries; the more people doing it, the less time it will take to implement the vote and realise the fruits of our collective labour.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again for your co-operation! E Pluribus Anthony 03:56, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
I'm glad you are happy with my ... text. I put it there while I was working on it and eventually posted it to [2]. It didn't catch much attention and is in the archives now. Anyway, it could be useful again, this discussion seems to go around in circles a lot, starting by somebody proposing a random move on WP:RM and then the rollercoaster beginning. I tend to monitor that page, but this whole business gets very argumentative as there are very stubborn people on both sides. Stefán Ingi (talk) 23:02, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I invite you to vote against the unnecessary deletion of the United States commemorative coins category
In your note, you put Taiwan (Still officially " Republic of China") under possible secession. I know this is a sensative subject, and there are groups of people that support independence. However, about equal size of population in Taiwan leans toward unification.
Also, you said "I'm rather unhappy with the wikipedia policy of "if English name and official name clash, use English name"; therefore I support the following page moves". So I'm just curious if that applies to Republic of China as well.

Hi, I think we can safely assume that the currency moves should be carried out. I did a few yesterday, many of them don't need an admin. Unfortunately, WP:RM is starting to run up a huge backlog maybe because the currency moves look a bit daunting. I think the Rùm vote which I parttook in should also be closed, but unfortunately one support vote should be discounted so it's going the "wrong" way. Anyway, enough for tonight. Stefán Ingi 01:03, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
Wouldn't "Czechia" be awfully homophonic to "Chechnya", at least for those unfamiliar with how to pronounce the two? Andjam 15:16, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
This article claims that a German TV crew said that Austria had won first and second place in the women's two-women bobsleigh at the Europa Cup (whereas Australia had won second place). Andjam 10:49, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
Well, I'll advise you as far as I can. Basically, I use the Python bot framework at http://pywikipediabot.sourceforge.net and run one of the scripts supplied, specifically solve_disambiguation.py, with certain arguments that cause it to move all references from one page to another, aiding me in cleaning up the backlog on WP:RM.
I'm not doing anything particularly special. However, that framework contains a lot of scripts for a lot of purposes, so you may well find something you need. Don't forget to read WP:BOTS first and request permission on the talk page for a trial, once you know what your bot will be doing. Rob Church Talk 07:36, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Please could you add a talk page for your mass move, or include the talk paese for each move. -- Philip Baird Shearer 22:34, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Am I correct in assuming that one can request jobs to be done by your bot here? I'm currently trying to orphan Image:Flag of Czech Republic.svg and replace it with Image:Flag of the Czech Republic, but the amount of pages it is used in (especially English, French, Spanish wikipedias) is enormous... ナイトスタリオン ✉ 20:01, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I notice Image:Austria flag large.png have been marked as redundant, I'd recomend you change your sig to use Image:Flag of Austria.svg instead. That way new instances of the png flag won't keep poping up when you sign things, and it's easier to replace all use of the image somewhere down the line (I'm toying with the idea of making a "redundant image replacement bot" myself). Thanks. -- Sherool (talk) 17:46, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Well, as you know, the October referendum was successful, with the majority voting for the merger. The lawmakers are currently working on a draft of the constitutional law that will be the basis of new Kamchatka Krai. I have not heard anything new on the actual merger date yet (I think it's still sometime in 2007), but I might have missed the news. The final date will probably depend on how fast the draft is signed into law, among other things.
As for the flags—sorry, I was not actively looking for them. By the way, the ones which are already in Wikipedia—where did they come from? Is {{PD-flag}} still something we can slap on pretty much any flag image? If so, I might be able to locate them, but they may not be of very good quality.— Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 00:47, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
Oh, you are not getting on my nerves. As a matter of fact, I love seeing that yellow bar notifying me of new messages :) Unfortunately, I have not heard/found anything of interest yet. When I do, trust me, you'll be one of the first to know :) Take care!— Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 17:54, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi, just wondering, is there any particular reason why you're moving Image:Flag of Peoples Republic of China.svg to Image:Flag of China.svg? The PRC / ROC arrangement was set up for NPOV reasons. The Chinese Wikipedia is especially sensitive to this issue and I doubt people would be willing to make this change. -- ran ( talk) 02:56, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
Aye, I would suggest Image:Flag of Peoples Republic of China.svg and Image:Flag of Republic of China.svg if you want to standardize names. -- ran ( talk) 07:08, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
In regards to your rename request for the flag of China, I agree with the above authors on the subject matter, and therefore refuse to process this request. -- AllyUnion (talk) 08:35, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi, Nightstallion, thank you for your response. I apologize that I misunderstood and sounded a little irritated yesterday. I agree with the new arrangement that standardizes the use of Image:Flag of the People's Republic of China.svg and Image:Flag of the Republic of China.svg. I will update links in zh.wikipedia accordingly. -- roc (talk) 03:10, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Of course I agree with you... But it seems that someone have a huge lack of information about almost everything he speaks of. Most of the time is purely troll and so on a vicious circle is started. Of course the present government of Moldova is wathing West not East. It is allready well know how bad relations have now with Kremlin. Russia will stop gas now and electricity for Moldova is now more than 50% since last two weeks from Romania and Ukraine. Since the puppet regime from Transnistria has stopped delivery of electricity.

Thanks so much! Early support seems to really set the tone. Please let me know if you can see a way I can be more helpful ever. Tedernst 14:12, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi there! I hope you're well. I've been around for almost two years and I've thought about the prospect of Wp adminship: in my other life, I've also been an IT administrator, so I'm no stranger to this. I really appreciate the gesture and your consideration!
However, I think I would decline any such effort, at least for now. I'm happy to make quality edits – and have at times made somewhat controversial ones! (though not necessarily out of malice) – but I'd rather solicit interest first from users that have some interaction with me and for me to gauge whether or not this would be a worthy venture with a good chance of success on my end. As well, while I have designs on what Wikipedia can be, I'm well aware of what it sometimes isn't. A play on words (and your alias!): if wishes were horses, I'd be on Sable Island, and not just in the stable. :)
Ask me again in six months, though, and I may change my mind! In any event, send me an e-mail if you have any additional feedback. Thanks again! E Pluribus Anthony 16:53, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Hello again! Thanks again for your vote of confidence!

Sorry it took a while to reply (I forget sometimes that I've written something on a talk page) but I just thought you might like to know I replied to your reply on the Euro talk page about the coins. I just thought I'd tell you here, just to clear up what I don't get about the phrasing on the coins pages. This is the reply
Sorry, I was also a bit unclear. What I meant was the way officially (in trade) all the old currencies (IEP,FRF,DEM etc.) were replaced in 1999, but in cash, they weren't replaced until 2002. That is what I think is wrong, it doesn't say if it means (using the Estonian Kroon as an example)

Why have you replaced Image:Lebanon_flag_large.png with Image:Flag of Lebanon.svg in Flag of Lebanon? CG 13:36, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi. I'm see you reverted some of my reverts of your edits. That's OK, let me explain what the problem was. When you changed the spelling of some of the referenced articles, you broke the links to them. If you think the articles are incorrectly named, what you should do is move the articles to their correct titles, then go back and fix up the links (using the What links here tool on the left side of the page). In the case of English coin Florin or Double Leopard, I suspect it would be best to rename it to English coin Florin, and make Double Leopard redirect to there. If you need help with the technical aspects, just ask me and I'll be glad to provide assistance. -- RoySmith 16:44, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
I can't really help you on which name is better; I'm not familiar with the subject area. I notice you're a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics.

Hi there; thanks for your note. Is the country/infobox initiative still on?

I will also try to encourage others to assist, but I do not promise anything. :( E Pluribus Anthony 19:29, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Re: [3]: I'd expect there would be some opposition, since the infobox template itself is not flexible enough for different countries to use it. Most countries that are not using the template directly are in fact already having boxes very similar to the template. — Insta ntnood 20:49, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

On another note, our opposition at Talk:Australia to changing the infobox is nothing against the good work that WikiProject Countries does!

I've reverted all the image links I've found to your new version of the Portuguese flag, now in svg format. Please, if you are going to change a flag image, please consider changing it to a real flag and not to some kind of badly done sketch, I would hand draw the portuguese flag better than that in .svg.

Hey Nightstallion/α! Thank you very much for your support on my RfA. To my amazement there were no negative or neutral votes and the result was (28/0/0). I am now an administrator so I'll try and do my best in this new position. I'll be happy to answer any comments or requests from you. Thanks one more time, Mihai - talk 20:08, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
First off, thanks for helping out. I used your information to do a lot of back research. There is one problem though, in this edit you put that the municipal elections have been moved to March 5, 2006. I don't doubt that this is true, but I just have not been able to find a source. I have been trying to find sources for all of these changes and making wikinews articles so it looks cleaner, and I have found what I need for all of the other changes, except this one municipal change. If you can tell me where you saw it, or if you remember if it was in the same article that talked about changes in the presidential dates.... or any hint of where I could find this, that would be great. -- MateoP 21:38, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

I haven't been able to find information about it on the internet, however upon emailing the NBS directly, I quickly received a detailed answer, including a pdf file containing all eight euro coin designs. Could you extract the images from this file, just like you did for the new designs on euro coins? I'd need to email the pdf to you, naturally, since it's not available on the internet AFAIK.

There is an ongoing poll here about the use of a Disclaimer stating that "Wikipedia has no official position concerning the use of the name Republic of Macedonia etc.". As in previous cases (most notably the Macedonians/Macedonian Slavs poll) this poll would be decided by grossly nationalistic voting.
The author of the poll told me this:
As a fellow Wikipedian, I can not be more than terrified by this statement. Not surprisingly, the "For the disclaimer" vote is 100% composed of ethnic Greek votes, and currently it is in the lead. It is in my deepest belief that Wikipedia should not mould under the pressure of nationalism (from neither side). That is precisely why I am abstaining of the poll, stating my reasons here.
Please, your possible avoidance of entering in the negotiations of Balkan issues like the plague is causing Balkan disputes to conform to nationalist narratives (logically, to the narrative of the biggest nationality), and this is something that is done in direct opposition to NPOV policy. It is mostly up to neutrals to decide on the issue, and it is only up to them to stop nationalism. So, please, participate in the discussion, or in the poll. -- FlavrSavr 15:04, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

On the list, statewide always refers to the country. Languages in parenthesis that have a province, state, municipality, etc. inside of them are regional languages in said area. Languages with statewide minority language after them are languages that have minority status throughout the nation. Hope that makes it clearer. (¿€0.02 = Two cents?

Thank you for going through all the effort of converting Champions League links to UEFA Champions League. However, although I understand it was done in good faith, could you please refrain from changing comments people have made on talk pages (such as mine on Talk:UEFA Cup). Partly because it damages the historical context that the comments were made in (i.e. when Champions League really did point to the relevant page), and partly because editing other people's comments without their permission, for whatever reason, is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia.

After a decision is arrived at, if at all, I'm also hopeful to prevail upon you to add the values (if you're willing and comfortable) for a handful of countries; the more people doing it, the less time it will take to implement the vote and realise the fruits of our collective labour.

Hi, I invite you to vote against the unnecessary deletion of the United States commemorative coins category
In your note, you put Taiwan (Still officially " Republic of China") under possible secession. I know this is a sensative subject, and there are groups of people that support independence. However, about equal size of population in Taiwan leans toward unification.
Also, you said "I'm rather unhappy with the wikipedia policy of "if English name and official name clash, use English name"; therefore I support the following page moves". So I'm just curious if that applies to Republic of China as well.

Hi, I think we can safely assume that the currency moves should be carried out. I did a few yesterday, many of them don't need an admin. Unfortunately, WP:RM is starting to run up a huge backlog maybe because the currency moves look a bit daunting.

Well, I'll advise you as far as I can. Basically, I use the Python bot framework at http://pywikipediabot.sourceforge.net and run one of the scripts supplied, specifically solve_disambiguation.py, with certain arguments that cause it to move all references from one page to another, aiding me in cleaning up the backlog on WP:RM.
I'm not doing anything particularly special. However, that framework contains a lot of scripts for a lot of purposes, so you may well find something you need.

Hi, I notice Image:Austria flag large.png have been marked as redundant, I'd recomend you change your sig to use Image:Flag of Austria.svg instead. That way new instances of the png flag won't keep poping up when you sign things, and it's easier to replace all use of the image somewhere down the line (I'm toying with the idea of making a "redundant image replacement bot" myself). Thanks. -- Sherool (talk) 17:46, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Well, as you know, the October referendum was successful, with the majority voting for the merger. The lawmakers are currently working on a draft of the constitutional law that will be the basis of new Kamchatka Krai. I have not heard anything new on the actual merger date yet (I think it's still sometime in 2007), but I might have missed the news. The final date will probably depend on how fast the draft is signed into law, among other things.
As for the flags—sorry, I was not actively looking for them. By the way, the ones which are already in Wikipedia—where did they come from? Is {{PD-flag}} still something we can slap on pretty much any flag image? If so, I might be able to locate them, but they may not be of very good quality.— Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 00:47, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Of course the present government of Moldova is wathing West not East. It is allready well know how bad relations have now with Kremlin.

Hi there! I hope you're well. I've been around for almost two years and I've thought about the prospect of Wp adminship: in my other life, I've also been an IT administrator, so I'm no stranger to this. I really appreciate the gesture and your consideration!
However, I think I would decline any such effort, at least for now. I'm happy to make quality edits – and have at times made somewhat controversial ones! (though not necessarily out of malice) – but I'd rather solicit interest first from users that have some interaction with me and for me to gauge whether or not this would be a worthy venture with a good chance of success on my end. As well, while I have designs on what Wikipedia can be, I'm well aware of what it sometimes isn't. A play on words (and your alias!): if wishes were horses, I'd be on Sable Island, and not just in the stable. :)
Ask me again in six months, though, and I may change my mind! In any event, send me an e-mail if you have any additional feedback. Thanks again! E Pluribus Anthony 16:53, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Sorry it took a while to reply (I forget sometimes that I've written something on a talk page) but I just thought you might like to know I replied to your reply on the Euro talk page about the coins. I just thought I'd tell you here, just to clear up what I don't get about the phrasing on the coins pages. This is the reply
Sorry, I was also a bit unclear. What I meant was the way officially (in trade) all the old currencies (IEP,FRF,DEM etc.) were replaced in 1999, but in cash, they weren't replaced until 2002. That is what I think is wrong, it doesn't say if it means (using the Estonian Kroon as an example)

I would like to thank you for your kind support on my RfA. I'll do my best to be a good administrator. If you need anything, or if I ever do something wrong with my new powers, please contact me. Mushroom 16:50, 2 December 2005 (UTC)I would like to thank you for your support of my recent successful RfA. If you have any further comments or feedback for me, my door's open - don't hesistate to drop a note on my talk page. Happy editing! Enochlau 11:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Why have you replaced Image:Lebanon_flag_large.png with Image:Flag of Lebanon.svg in Flag of Lebanon? CG 13:36, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi. I'm see you reverted some of my reverts of your edits. That's OK, let me explain what the problem was. When you changed the spelling of some of the referenced articles, you broke the links to them. If you think the articles are incorrectly named, what you should do is move the articles to their correct titles, then go back and fix up the links (using the What links here tool on the left side of the page). In the case of English coin Florin or Double Leopard, I suspect it would be best to rename it to English coin Florin, and make Double Leopard redirect to there. If you need help with the technical aspects, just ask me and I'll be glad to provide assistance. -- RoySmith 16:44, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
I can't really help you on which name is better; I'm not familiar with the subject area. I notice you're a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics. I'm sure if you post your question there, somebody will be in a better position to answer it. They might even already have some kind of guideline on how these things should be named. -- RoySmith 17:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Could you please explain why you're adding the Human Development Index to infoboxes? The information is subjective and irrelevant and does not belong there, or at least not without substantial discussion first. User:PZFUN/signature 19:19, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
We need you!

Now that my RfA is fully and officially completed, I want to thank you for your support. There are lots of reasons why not, but I guess none of them applied... ;-) I appreciate your confidence that I can do the job. -- SCZenz 18:16, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello Nightstallion. Thanks for the vote of confidence in my RFA. I have now officially received the badge, so I shall try my best to be a good administrator. Thanks again. -- TheParanoidOne 19:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
I have recently been granted greater access to your systems, and can begin the process of salvaging the sensitive information from my politically unstable land, as I promised. Please accept this loonie as a token of faith that I will conduct myself as required to complete our transaction. Thank you for your support. Mindmatrix 20:20, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Also observe German mark or Danish krone -- I'll support the move from Czechoslovak crown to Czechoslovak koruna if there is a vote. Thank you for your efforts. Best Jbetak 17:39, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
I am very grateful to you for being the first person to vote for me at RfA. I really appreciate the honour you have shown me by your vote.-- File Éireann 19:31, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
Yes, it was inspired by yours! I decided to change my signature on the national day of Romania and I put just the Romanian flag, and then I got the idea from you about the EU flag as well. Oh, and the little envelope as well! I think the mixed EU-Austrian flag looks cool... I'll make something like that for Romanian too! Cheers, Ronline ✉ 06:18, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Cool! However Romania will join EU in 1st January 2007. -- Bonaparte talk 16:48, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks a ton for your support on my rfa, the final tally was 50-0-0; I'll try and live up to the expectations of others and do my best in maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia. -- Gurubrahma 13:11, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for reviewing and voting on my Request for adminship. Since you opposed, would you care to comment further on my general suitability? I hope to improve as an editor and apply for adminship some time in the future and if you could give me something specific to focus on, that would be very helpful.- MegamanZero 0:14 7,December 2005 (UTC)
Although my RfA is not over yet, I figured that since so many people voted before it had been posted, I may as well start thanking people before it wraps up. It'll take me that long to thank everyone who voted anyway! Thank you, Nightstallion, for your support (really, I wasn't already an admin!) - I'll do my best as an admin to make the reality of Wikipedia rise to the level of the dream. BD2412 T 23:44, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi Nightstallion/α,
Thank you very much for your support on my RfA. It has done very well and is currently at 67/0/2. As such, I am posting this in advance of its closure. If I can ever help with anything or if you have any comments about my actions as an admin, please let me know. Thank you once again! – NSLE ( T+ C+ CVU) 06:46, 8 December 2005 (UTC)Brookie here - I love all your user boxes on your page - how about one that says This user likes little boxes? :) Brookie: A collector of little round things 16:07, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi there; thanks for your note. Is the country/infobox initiative still on? I presume(d) so: I have every intention of culling the country infoboxes you have listed in time, unless you indicate otherwise. I will also try to encourage others to assist, but I do not promise anything. :( E Pluribus Anthony 19:29, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Re: [3]: I'd expect there would be some opposition, since the infobox template itself is not flexible enough for different countries to use it. Most countries that are not using the template directly are in fact already having boxes very similar to the template. — Insta ntnood 20:49, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Nightstallion, thanks for your support on my RfA. The final count was 46/0/0. I hope I'll live up to your faith in me in my use of the mop and bucket. Please accept this wikithanks as a token of my gratitude ;)
On another note, our opposition at Talk:Australia to changing the infobox is nothing against the good work that WikiProject Countries does! And I noticed you support those pages moves - a while back I proposed a naming convention using ISO 3166-1 to name country articles. It's kinda stalled, but you might like to check it out. -- bainer ( talk) 23:37, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Dear Nightstallion,
I would like to thank you for supporting me on my RfA. Even though it failed with a with the final tally of 55/22/6, I want to thank you anyways. I don't want to be one a admin anymore until I reach 10,000 edits now that it's over with. Thanks -- Jaranda wat's sup 01:53, 9 December 2005 (UTC)Thank you very much for your support for my RfA. I will do everything I can to justify your trust in me. Awolf002 03:07, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks for your vote of support on my recent RFA. I hope to live up to your expectations.

I put up a proposed solution to make the political ideology "democracy"(not the party) one work. I don't care either way in regards to the party box. Let me know what you think. karmafist 19:22, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
I've reverted all the image links I've found to your new version of the Portuguese flag, now in svg format. Please, if you are going to change a flag image, please consider changing it to a real flag and not to some kind of badly done sketch, I would hand draw the portuguese flag better than that in .svg. The one in .png was taken from the national symbols section of the Presidential website, and I think it should remain like that. 217.129.204.176 22:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for your support on my request for adminship; it passed with 23/0/0 (plus one duplicate support and an oppose from a vandal IP). I shall do my best that my font of craftiness doth not dissipate. ;) // Pathoschild 08:50, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
Hey Nightstallion/α! Thanks for your support on my RfA. The final outcome was (57/4/3), so I am now an administrator. If you need help, have a question, or just want to chat (or if I get out of line!), please don't hesitate to let me know! Again, thanks! :D

Hey Nightstallion/α! Thank you very much for your support on my RfA. To my amazement there were no negative or neutral votes and the result was (28/0/0). I am now an administrator so I'll try and do my best in this new position. I'll be happy to answer any comments or requests from you. Thanks one more time, Mihai - talk 20:08, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
First off, thanks for helping out. I used your information to do a lot of back research. There is one problem though, in this edit you put that the municipal elections have been moved to March 5, 2006. I don't doubt that this is true, but I just have not been able to find a source. I have been trying to find sources for all of these changes and making wikinews articles so it looks cleaner, and I have found what I need for all of the other changes, except this one municipal change. If you can tell me where you saw it, or if you remember if it was in the same article that talked about changes in the presidential dates.... or any hint of where I could find this, that would be great. -- MateoP 21:38, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi Nightstallion , thank you for voting in support of my RFA; the result was (28-0-0 ). I hope that I am able to fulfil the expectations of an admin. If you see me mess up anywhere, have any concerns (be it for my musical taste or edits), please don't hesitate to tell me! Take care. SoLando ( Talk) 09:51, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
I noticed your neutral vote in my RFA. If there is any concern that you have that I may be able to answer questions about or anything else that you may need to make a decision. Please feel free to let me know and I'll be happy to help. Thank for participating! Gator (talk) 13:20, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Hey, I understand. I'm disappointed I couldn't have your support, it would have met a lot to me coming from you, but no hard feelings, I won't take it personally. See you around. Gator (talk) 14:00, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Many thanks for your support during my RfA – following a 30/0/0 vote I’ve now been made an admin. Do have a Jaffa Cake! Cheers, CLW 13:59, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for the barnstar! It is very kind of you. I hope to be able to bring litas article to featured status. And also thank you for supporting renaming Partitions of Poland :) but could you just elaborate on that a little bit? That would be priceless!
Also, I have removed the wikithanks pic from Lbmixpro message because it screwed up your talk page. I am sorry if it caused any inconvenience. Renata3 18:48, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi! Today, the National Bank of Slovakia decided on the motifs to be used on Slovak euro coins. I haven't been able to find information about it on the internet, however upon emailing the NBS directly, I quickly received a detailed answer, including a pdf file containing all eight euro coin designs. Could you extract the images from this file, just like you did for the new designs on euro coins? I'd need to email the pdf to you, naturally, since it's not available on the internet AFAIK.
