I left a comment under King's "I Have a Dream" speech. It turns out it was an act of vandalism, and not as serious as I had once thought. I am new to Wikipedia and was curious if this comment could now be deleted. I didn't see any way to do that myself. At any rate, I'm happy it was so quickly corrected.
Thankyou. I am indeed proud to have it there. I didn't expect any compliments ontop of having an article on the main page, so thanks again. :) James086 Talk | Email 08:11, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
You suggested that the demand by one editor of another (for funds, in the amount of $10,000.00, to be placed in an escrow account as a precondition for the former filing for mediation) was most likely not serious and that it was probably made "in the heat of the moment". While that speculation might seem plausible to someone who is not familiar with the situation, it is flatly contradicted by what Akliman Akliman ( talk · contribs) wrote on his own user talk page and on the talk pages of J.smith J.smith ( talk · contribs) and MrMacMan MrMacMan ( talk · contribs). In all cases, he defended what he wrote. In blanking the offending paragraph, he was unrepentant and said that he was "compelled" to do so "under threat" of blocking. This is clearly not an acceptable resolution of the issue. Watchdog07 14:47, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
This article was written as a excersise for a school web design project, i still have copies of teh original site should you want proof.
I DO NOT give my permission for this article to exsist on wikipedia, and wish it to be removed immediatly
i have found the article discussion page
please dont delete the speedy deletion tag thingy. If you think the page should still be there then type hangon thingy on the page.
If there's an issue with 3RR, report it to WP:AN3, not to WP:AIV. =D Jumping cheese Cont @ct 20:40, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Just noticed all the activity on the Phoenix Arts Centre article, which is still on my (far-too-big) watchlist from when I categorized it. I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but the original article referred to a theatre in Leicester, while the current article refers to a different theatre in Hastings. Just a thought, but doesn;t a revert to the original article solve everything? Flowerpotman talk| contribs 20:54, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Dont worry, i dont blame you for getting me blocked, it took me 4 click to come back. For you i can afford that kinda effort.
as was pointed out above, the article was actually written about another theatre first, This lot would be all be solved if we reverted back to that entry

I am placing on the record my complaint regarding your capricious, ignorant and high handed deletion of an article about an industry of major importance to South Australia.
Kindly refrain from interfering with this article, otherwise I will take appropriate action. Fitzpatrickjm 11:37, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the comments you left regarding my RfA. I understand a big concern was my lack of edits, which i do plan to work on in the near future. When I do send in my second nomination down the road, I hope to have these concerns alleviated. Wildthing61476 12:49, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I strongly believe you owe The Transhumanist an apology for using his failed RfA as an example in a current RfA. This user has actually been present in the current !voting process, and I applaud that as he is not taking a much deserved break. To opine at the expense of another is wrong in so many ways. the_undertow talk 10:57, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Could I respectfully request you use WP:RFO (see WP:OVER), rather than ANI? It's a) more likely to be answered quickly on their list, and b) drawing less attention to it doing it via email compared to ANI. Cheers, Daniel 10:56, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello Pedro, you've archived your talk in mainspoace - see your contribs! Kim Dent-Brown (Talk to me) 20:35, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
When you aim to make a series of edits, just edit the whole page and do it in one go if at all possible. By saving and then editing again, it means that patrolling people who are looking to clean-up mark-up etc can cause and edit conflict. Obviously we all miss stuff, but try to do everything in one go (use the whole article tag, rather than section edits to sort it out). Thanks for your help Philipwhiuk 16:57, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for participating in either of my unsuccessful requests for adminship. Although the experience was frustrating, it showed me some mistakes I was making, and I hope to learn from those mistakes.
Please take a few minutes to read User:YechielMan/Other stuff/RFA review and advise me how to proceed. Best regards. Yechiel Man 21:36, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Just a tiny comment, Pedro - the word is "grammar" not "grammer". It just looks odd when you're making grammatical corrections and putting a spelling mistake in the edit summary! Cheers, Waggers 09:23, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Just dropping by to say "thank you" for supporting me in my recent my RfA. I passed the vote, and am now an admin. It will take me some getting used to with the new tools, but I thank you again for the trust. Have a good one, and, as always, happy editing! Jmlk 1 7 05:06, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for showing your support in my recent RfA. Unfortunately, consensus was not really going my way, so I decided to withdraw my self-nomination last night. The final vote tally was (15/7/10). Your support does mean a lot to me, and I will certainly let you know when I go for my next RfA, most likely in a few month's time. Thank you again, and happy editing!

Hello, Pedro/Archive 2, and thank you so much for your support in my recent
RFA, which passed 59/0/0. I will try very hard to live up to your expectations – please let me know if I can help you in any way, but first take your cookie! Thanks again!

Please try and read my comments, and the edit summary, before accusing me of trolling. I have made a comment at the talk page above. Best Wishes. Pedro | Chat 21:10, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
I've seen you around as well and you seem to be doing good things. Sorry if the tiresome comment didn't sit well...It just seemed like you were acting kind of pouting and threatening to bail on Wikipedia over something kind of trivial. (I'm going to strike it as unhelpful). BTW, I'm not clear at all how your initial statement was "trolling," so you have my support on that. Cheers.— Gaff ταλκ 22:01, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Why do you suspect me of someone called benjaminooo? I dont know this person so why accuse me? ive have take this to heart and cried for almost a week, you should be ashamed...
