Could you take a look at this user's recent "contributions"? He added nonsense to Line of succession to the British Throne and then blanked the Wikipedia:Vandalism page. I think that warnings don't work any longer. Thanks. Noel S McFerran 14:43, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
More at User talk:Blue Tie.
I appreciate your positive responses. I believe that Andyh is a good warrior for Wikipedia. I value his help on the project. If he is nominated again in a few months, he will have a bit more experience under his belt and I suspect that with that experience he will handle situations better. I definitely detect a politeness and a trend toward continual self improvement. So I will probably support in the future. But one question: in your experience how much does being an administrator help a person combat vandalism the way that Andeh does? I understand blocking, but are there tools to find it and fix it faster that are only available to admins? -- Blue Tie 11:25, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello Petros. I am sorry to see you stressed. A month ago I banned a user for extensive racism and he kept on returning with sockpuppets and even posted an RfC against me, as well as making defamatory and untrue allegations on teh mailing list in front of a few arbitrators and admins. Secondly I can understand that some people on RfA simply vote and do so rather obstinately, so I find that vigorous rebuttal is OK - it will make some difference.

You've got a couple of admins now who've promised to help out with RFI :) I'm sure you'll be due for admin fairly soon- I'd be delighted to nominate you after you've got a little more experience (as people will probably oppose now based on months).

Hello again Petros, Thanks for participating in my RFA! Ultimately, no consensus was reached, but I still appreciate the fact that you showed up to add in your two cents. That was actually the first non-mailing list email I had ever recieved regarding something on wikipedia, so I was quite flattered and surprised. You can feel free to talk to me about it or add some advice on my improvement page.

Dear Petros, thank you so much for your beautiful words, your kidness and your trust in me. My
Request for Adminship is finally over, and the support and appreciation that the community has gifted me will stick in my mind as long as I live. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me, and all I can tell you is, I'll try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, make sure to
come here and give me a good yell! :) Seriously, tho, if you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you'll always be welcome to message me, and I promise I'll try my very best.
Dear Petros, this is the perfect opportunity to finally speak to one another after reading your words for months and months. I am sure that we'll be able to talk often, and trust me, it'd be my pleasure. Both your contributions and, most important your warm way to deal with others made me notice you long, long ago; and being supported by a person I look up to, like you, meant the world to me. I sincerely hope this is but the beginning of a friendship, and such thought fills me with joy. Please take good care, and I hope to talk to you again real soon! :) With a big hug, your friend,
Michael has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{ subst:smile}}, {{ subst:smile2}} or {{ subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!

Hi Petros, welcome back. We've missed you. Just as an FYI, I completed a review of Guinnog who I think is ready for an RfA. Ironically I finished it about 5 minutes before you returned from WikiBreak.
Anyway, truly welcome back. I hope you are refreshed and ready to wade back in. Best, Gwernol 15:01, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
You deleted the lxrun article at the same time as I posted the hangon template and was busy writing a reply on it's talk page. Could you reinstate the page so that people will have the time to read my objections?

Please put all your replies to my admin coaching update message here with your username as a third level header. It will help keep everything together and help me not miss anyone. Thanks! Petros471 22:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Tango tango passed with flying colors, so sure, I can coach another admin.
As a separate issue, has anyone attempted to coach an entire group of admins at once yet? Hmm, well, I could at least do an admin 101 class on irc some weekend, if you like. People on rfa often turn out not to know the basics, which is somewhat scary.
Kim Bruning 22:11, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Sure. While I've got nothing against the program, maybe someone could coach me in how I'm supposed to do this? Most of my coachees don't really need help--or at least don't ask for it. But sure, assign one anyway, and I'll make sure to keep up with this one. - Mysekurity 22:58, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I officially withdrew from Esperanza in June, so please delist me. Cheers. :) Chacor 02:44, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Quite ironic that just a few months ago you were being coached as part of the admin coaching program and now you are in charge of it! As far as I know I haven't been assigned a new trainee since your own coaching finished, and I think I would be able to take another one. Thanks. Academic Challenger 06:30, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

By the way, mind assigning someone to me? Tito xd( ?!?) 04:54, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey! Thanks for signing up in Wikipedia:Esperanza's Admin coaching program. Since you've volunteered to help train a user, I've assigned Quentin Smith to you and to your partner, Jacoplane.

sorry not sure where I am supposed to write this. I wanted to write an article and when I pressed the save button (ok sorry before I was finished) and then tried to edit it again I got a message that it was deleted by you. I would like to know why. This is the article:
"Kea Audio is a privately owned company located in Nelson New Zealand. It was founded in 1993 and specializes in high quality drivers incorporating new cone technology and design loudspeakers. In 1995 a new cone material was developed called "Polyepicell". This is a polymer hardfoam and has combines qualities like extreme stiffness and light weight. The enormous stiffness of Polyepicell eliminates bending and the specially designed damping technology avoids the feared cone breakups. In 1998 a new tweeter was developed where only an outer ring emits soundwaves. This reduces conebreak ups and improves the overall frequency response as well as a wider directivity. The founder Dipl.-Ing. J.Lang is a member of the audio engineering society and wrote two papers in 1989 on loudspeakers and loudspeaker cabinets at the University of Berlin which are available at the Institute of Acoustics' library."
I found other articles on Bose, Cabasse and Polk and I cannot see why this should be any different. I understand that advertising is not welcome, but why list all the big companies and the small ones are not allowed to be named? I do not think that only big companies are important, on the contrary a lot of small companies made a lot of important developements and inventions and the big ones usually get the patents sorted out and make millions. So it is my opinion that either all companies may be listed or no company at all. Kind regards, Johnedoe. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Johnedoe ( talk • contribs) .
Johnedoe 11:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC) thanks. Sorry, does that mean I should add the above text in "" again?
Nothing too dire is up. :) I'm just hanging up the mop. Adminship is no big deal after all. :P -- Bane s 16:54, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure why my page, World Artist Network, was deleted. I will appreciate your re-evaluation of your hastey decision to delete my page. Let me know if you require additional information from me. Thank you.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Baltimoretom ( talk • contribs) .
I did respond within minutes to assert its importance and I edited the page. The writing was deleted so I don't have a copy of what I responded with.
This is the largest group on MySpace, which is one of the world's most heavily trafficked websites. That is as culturally significant, if not more, than some of the articles on Wikipedia.
Thank you for your consideration. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Baltimoretom ( talk • contribs) .
I didn't realise you were an admin until now, but I've already filed a WP:RFPP on this. Feel free to withdraw/decline my request if you wish, but having been on many WP:WEB AFDs before, the WP:SPA flood on this one will probably dwarf anything I've ever seen before if left unchecked. -- Netsnipe (Talk) 21:44, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
If you are hesitant to delete the earlier image uploaded under this name (which is orphaned-fair-use-replaced), you can delete the current image (as it is noncommercial uploaded after 19 May 2005 == speedy delete), revert to the earlier version, wait for 7 days and then delete that version too. -- Paddu 08:52, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello Petros. I want to complain about the unknown user with this ip: 195.93.21.8
He changes pics even if i have warned him not to do.-- Chronisgr 11:13, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I know you can do it. That is why I request it. Userfy the article Jamarenyo wrote on Odhiambo Siangla. The article was deleted on August 21st. I am the subject of the article. I uploaded an image requested to improve the article before the debate that concluded with deletion.
The debate of the proposed deletion was quite enlightening. I agree Jamarenyo should have presented a verified evidence for the awards he listed behind my name, a position taken Nesbit and suggested by others as well.
What I am not sure of is the suggestion that others had little or no interest in my artwork other than those who would be interested in deleting Jamarenyo's entry about the artist. Smerdi of Tlon took the position, however, because I uploaded the image. Copyrights and access to equipments played a role. Not the interest alone. In fact, the uploaded image was sent to me from Rome, Italy where the collector, Dr. Mercia Gracy resides with the piece I called Liquid Fire.
Another thing I do not know is the extent to which the article can be userfied.
Crossmr was rightly concerned about those few awards some of which were scholarships and fellowships that should have been verified. If one takes the position of South Philly that the article could be strengthened, but now it is deleted, then I only would like to request what you can do. Userfy the article.
Siangla, August 23, 2006.
Hey, Petros. I was wondering if you could give me one of your famous RfA reviews, if you're not too busy. Get back to me if there's anything you need me to do for it, or if you can't, or anything like that. Thanks! -- Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 23:24, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I believe I got it right. It is Siangla my talk. I requested you to restore the Odhiambo Siangla article to my userspace. Thank you.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Siangla ( talk • contribs) .
The graph looks great (although I'd suggest removing the visible tick marks from the line). I noticed you left an open column for users in the Excel spreadsheet; that, in my opinion, is probably even more useful than the number of articles. This table would be useful if you decide to add a users column. You could probably use the total (which is not really the total) or >5 columns, unless you wanted me to incorporate the user data. -- tariqabjotu 14:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Although I hadn't really noticed it myself, you're probably right about it breaking lines so I've changed the sub to a small, thereby retaining the effect and being nicer for users at only four extra characters. As for templating it, I do this because it is the only way I an make modifications to the date part; User:^demon showed me how to do it. Is everything okay with this? Hope your preperations are going well, for university and for me! — Xyra e l / 18:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
It's possible I won't have IRC for a bit so we're reduced to speaking over talkpages in the usual fashion. I noticed that you did quite a bit of work last night on the statement, and from your edit summary it appears to be complete and I think it looks really good. It complements the questions really nicely. I did a little copyediting and linking and I hope you're okay with that but please feel free to revert. Otherwise, perhaps we are ready and in that case we might be able start earlier. It would be better for me because if we start on the first of September I have several days of school which (obviously) makes it a lot harder for me to answer questions (although with the new blocking code it's significantly easier but the school blocks several key pages such as RfA). I understand you may not have Internet access towards the end of the week but I'd really rather get it done during my holiday so that I'm not too busy. Does this sound okay to you? I'll be around all day for a bar of death :) — Xyra e l / 07:34, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks very much for the reminder. Yes, I am still interested. I have been dedicating increasing periods of time to wikipedia but will not really be able to concentrate on this till next month. I put together a list of subjects I needed some help with (some of them I worked around them on my own, so no help needed on those bits, but still have a few queries).

I've just left Netsnipe a similar message, so to be fair I'd better send you the same one :)
Could you consider shortening and 'de-emphasising' your signature? I find using a background colour distracting and it gives your signature more prominence on talk pages (as we should all be equal, that's not a good thing!), and its length fills up diff/edit windows making it harder to find and edit comments. I hope you don't mind me pointing this out, it certainly isn't that big a deal :) WP:SIG is the guideline on the matter. Petros471 21:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
i apologize for the inclusion of 'Dykes on bikes' on redvers subpage. However i thought it would appeal to redvers to have it on his subpage bearing in mind his sexuality. Although your views may differ it is important that we do not discriminate him because of his sexuality and learn to accept. ➨ Darren

If he stays, I leave. CRCulver 09:13, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
I am still interested in coaching. --Cheers, Folajimi (leave a note) 22:42, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Have a great time and a good rest. -- Guinnog 19:26, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello again Petros, Thanks for participating in my RFA! Ultimately, no consensus was reached, but I still appreciate the fact that you showed up to add in your two cents. That was actually the first non-mailing list email I had ever recieved regarding something on wikipedia, so I was quite flattered and surprised. You can feel free to talk to me about it or add some advice on my improvement page.

Dear Petros, thank you so much for your beautiful words, your kidness and your trust in me. My
Request for Adminship is finally over, and the support and appreciation that the community has gifted me will stick in my mind as long as I live. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me, and all I can tell you is, I'll try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, make sure to
come here and give me a good yell! :) Seriously, tho, if you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you'll always be welcome to message me, and I promise I'll try my very best.
Dear Petros, this is the perfect opportunity to finally speak to one another after reading your words for months and months. I am sure that we'll be able to talk often, and trust me, it'd be my pleasure. Both your contributions and, most important your warm way to deal with others made me notice you long, long ago; and being supported by a person I look up to, like you, meant the world to me. I sincerely hope this is but the beginning of a friendship, and such thought fills me with joy. Please take good care, and I hope to talk to you again real soon! :) With a big hug, your friend,
Michael has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{ subst:smile}}, {{ subst:smile2}} or {{ subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!

Hello, you deleted Kite Pilot. Correspondingly, please also delete Kite Pilot EP, which I found via Special:Random. Thankyou. 128.250.37.103 13:15, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Petros, welcome back. We've missed you. Just as an FYI, I completed a review of Guinnog who I think is ready for an RfA. Ironically I finished it about 5 minutes before you returned from WikiBreak.
Anyway, truly welcome back. I hope you are refreshed and ready to wade back in. Best, Gwernol 15:01, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
You deleted the lxrun article at the same time as I posted the hangon template and was busy writing a reply on it's talk page. Could you reinstate the page so that people will have the time to read my objections?
Sander Marechal 11:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing that! Spamming userpage would be... interesting. :) And not the intention! -- Nataly a 16:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Please put all your replies to my admin coaching update message here with your username as a third level header. It will help keep everything together and help me not miss anyone. Thanks! Petros471 22:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Tango tango passed with flying colors, so sure, I can coach another admin.
As a separate issue, has anyone attempted to coach an entire group of admins at once yet? Hmm, well, I could at least do an admin 101 class on irc some weekend, if you like. People on rfa often turn out not to know the basics, which is somewhat scary.
Kim Bruning 22:11, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Sure. While I've got nothing against the program, maybe someone could coach me in how I'm supposed to do this? Most of my coachees don't really need help--or at least don't ask for it. But sure, assign one anyway, and I'll make sure to keep up with this one. - Mysekurity 22:58, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I officially withdrew from Esperanza in June, so please delist me. Cheers. :) Chacor 02:44, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Quite ironic that just a few months ago you were being coached as part of the admin coaching program and now you are in charge of it! As far as I know I haven't been assigned a new trainee since your own coaching finished, and I think I would be able to take another one. Thanks. Academic Challenger 06:30, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
So, how's the coordinator? :D I don't remember if I told you about the sandboxes I used to notify users ( User:Titoxd/Sandbox A User:Titoxd/Sandbox C User:Titoxd/Sandbox E), so if you want to borrow them, feel free to do so. By the way, mind assigning someone to me? Tito xd( ?!?) 04:54, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey! Thanks for signing up in Wikipedia:Esperanza's Admin coaching program. Since you've volunteered to help train a user, I've assigned Quentin Smith to you and to your partner, Jacoplane. Please make sure to be kind and helpful to your coachee. If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks again! Petros471 17:05, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Since he's on a dynamic DSL IP, I suppose there's really nothing we can do, is there? *sigh* RasputinAXP c 13:32, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
You got your merge in my delete!!! :) RasputinAXP 20:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

sorry not sure where I am supposed to write this. I wanted to write an article and when I pressed the save button (ok sorry before I was finished) and then tried to edit it again I got a message that it was deleted by you. I would like to know why. This is the article:
"Kea Audio is a privately owned company located in Nelson New Zealand. It was founded in 1993 and specializes in high quality drivers incorporating new cone technology and design loudspeakers. In 1995 a new cone material was developed called "Polyepicell". This is a polymer hardfoam and has combines qualities like extreme stiffness and light weight. The enormous stiffness of Polyepicell eliminates bending and the specially designed damping technology avoids the feared cone breakups. In 1998 a new tweeter was developed where only an outer ring emits soundwaves. This reduces conebreak ups and improves the overall frequency response as well as a wider directivity. The founder Dipl.-Ing. J.Lang is a member of the audio engineering society and wrote two papers in 1989 on loudspeakers and loudspeaker cabinets at the University of Berlin which are available at the Institute of Acoustics' library."
I found other articles on Bose, Cabasse and Polk and I cannot see why this should be any different. I understand that advertising is not welcome, but why list all the big companies and the small ones are not allowed to be named? I do not think that only big companies are important, on the contrary a lot of small companies made a lot of important developements and inventions and the big ones usually get the patents sorted out and make millions. So it is my opinion that either all companies may be listed or no company at all. Kind regards, Johnedoe. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Johnedoe ( talk • contribs) .
Johnedoe 11:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC) thanks. Sorry, does that mean I should add the above text in "" again?
Nothing too dire is up. :) I'm just hanging up the mop. Adminship is no big deal after all. :P -- Bane s 16:54, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure why my page, World Artist Network, was deleted. I will appreciate your re-evaluation of your hastey decision to delete my page. Let me know if you require additional information from me. Thank you.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Baltimoretom ( talk • contribs) .
I did respond within minutes to assert its importance and I edited the page. The writing was deleted so I don't have a copy of what I responded with.
This is the largest group on MySpace, which is one of the world's most heavily trafficked websites. That is as culturally significant, if not more, than some of the articles on Wikipedia.
Thank you for your consideration. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Baltimoretom ( talk • contribs) .
I didn't realise you were an admin until now, but I've already filed a WP:RFPP on this. Feel free to withdraw/decline my request if you wish, but having been on many WP:WEB AFDs before, the WP:SPA flood on this one will probably dwarf anything I've ever seen before if left unchecked. -- Netsnipe (Talk) 21:44, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
If you are hesitant to delete the earlier image uploaded under this name (which is orphaned-fair-use-replaced), you can delete the current image (as it is noncommercial uploaded after 19 May 2005 == speedy delete), revert to the earlier version, wait for 7 days and then delete that version too. -- Paddu 08:52, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Sorry I got your message too late. I've been travellnig for a while but am back now. -- Guinnog 21:13, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Will you do me a favour and send a test email to my new account I just set up and attached to my wiki preferences? Thanks. -- Guinnog 18:40, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I am a bit curious how 3-1 in favor of delete is no consensus. Indrian 04:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I added a page for Priority Club Rewards as a part of InterContinental Hotels Group. For some reason, it keeps getting deleted eventhough I provide the information requested once I see the speedy deletion message.
Please let me know what I need to do in order to have this page appear & not get deleted again.
Thank you —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Meyersl ( talk • contribs) .
'lo Petros, I just got back from holiday. How are you? What do you think about my RfA at the moment? I've started filling in questions on your draft page which I located; take a look at the contributions one. Please let me know your thoughts some time, remembering that there is no rush at all. Thanks 8) — Xyra e l 17:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Hello Petros. I want to complain about the unknown user with this ip: 195.93.21.8
He changes pics even if i have warned him not to do.-- Chronisgr 11:13, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I know you can do it. That is why I request it. Userfy the article Jamarenyo wrote on Odhiambo Siangla. The article was deleted on August 21st. I am the subject of the article. I uploaded an image requested to improve the article before the debate that concluded with deletion.
The debate of the proposed deletion was quite enlightening. I agree Jamarenyo should have presented a verified evidence for the awards he listed behind my name, a position taken Nesbit and suggested by others as well.
What I am not sure of is the suggestion that others had little or no interest in my artwork other than those who would be interested in deleting Jamarenyo's entry about the artist. Smerdi of Tlon took the position, however, because I uploaded the image. Copyrights and access to equipments played a role. Not the interest alone. In fact, the uploaded image was sent to me from Rome, Italy where the collector, Dr. Mercia Gracy resides with the piece I called Liquid Fire.
Another thing I do not know is the extent to which the article can be userfied.
Crossmr was rightly concerned about those few awards some of which were scholarships and fellowships that should have been verified. If one takes the position of South Philly that the article could be strengthened, but now it is deleted, then I only would like to request what you can do. Userfy the article.
Siangla, August 23, 2006.
Hey, Petros. I was wondering if you could give me one of your famous RfA reviews, if you're not too busy. Get back to me if there's anything you need me to do for it, or if you can't, or anything like that. Thanks! -- Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 23:24, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I believe I got it right. It is Siangla my talk. I requested you to restore the Odhiambo Siangla article to my userspace. Thank you.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Siangla ( talk • contribs) .
The graph looks great (although I'd suggest removing the visible tick marks from the line). I noticed you left an open column for users in the Excel spreadsheet; that, in my opinion, is probably even more useful than the number of articles. This table would be useful if you decide to add a users column. You could probably use the total (which is not really the total) or >5 columns, unless you wanted me to incorporate the user data. -- tariqabjotu 14:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Although I hadn't really noticed it myself, you're probably right about it breaking lines so I've changed the sub to a small, thereby retaining the effect and being nicer for users at only four extra characters. As for templating it, I do this because it is the only way I an make modifications to the date part; User:^demon showed me how to do it. Is everything okay with this? Hope your preperations are going well, for university and for me! — Xyra e l / 18:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
It's possible I won't have IRC for a bit so we're reduced to speaking over talkpages in the usual fashion. I noticed that you did quite a bit of work last night on the statement, and from your edit summary it appears to be complete and I think it looks really good. It complements the questions really nicely. I did a little copyediting and linking and I hope you're okay with that but please feel free to revert. Otherwise, perhaps we are ready and in that case we might be able start earlier. It would be better for me because if we start on the first of September I have several days of school which (obviously) makes it a lot harder for me to answer questions (although with the new blocking code it's significantly easier but the school blocks several key pages such as RfA). I understand you may not have Internet access towards the end of the week but I'd really rather get it done during my holiday so that I'm not too busy. Does this sound okay to you? I'll be around all day for a bar of death :) — Xyra e l / 07:34, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks very much for the reminder. Yes, I am still interested. I have been dedicating increasing periods of time to wikipedia but will not really be able to concentrate on this till next month. I put together a list of subjects I needed some help with (some of them I worked around them on my own, so no help needed on those bits, but still have a few queries). I am currently on vacation but will take up your offer in a few days. Thanks again and best regards, E Asterion u talking to me? 10:57, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Glad your still nominating potential admins. :)-- Andeh 19:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Petros. Banes and I have yet to hear from our current trainee as to whether he's still interested in admin coaching, and a new school term is about to start for me, so would it be okay for to hold off on taking a new trainee for now? Thanks, Sango 123 20:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, just echoeing the above. Things are getting busier and busier in meatspace at the moment so I'd also rather not take on a new one just yet. What Sango said. :) -- Bane s 12:57, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
I am probably going to give 68.45.138.191 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) a long block for continued sneaky vandalism, but as a final check could you please explain why this edit was sneaky vandalism (i.e. in what way was it wrong, with source if applicable). Thanks for your help. Petros471 21:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
I don't think I could have kept up reverting much longer and I didn't have time to put in a Request for Protection. Cheers Canadian-Bacon (contribs) 17:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
You did fine there, I wish more people would go ahead and merge things like that rather than clog afd up with close calls that result in me having to add loads of merge tags everywhere! Thanks :) Petros471 18:35, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for re-directing the "responses" page. It isn't quite a deletion, but it's an adequate solution. John Smith's 21:45, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
My "coachee" seems to be quity chugging along, so I supposed I'd also be ready for another user as well. Voice-of-All 22:35, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
I reported it just to inform people that I have this IP address for now; for how long, I don't know. -- TheM62Manchester 10:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Hello! Back in May you signed up for admin coaching. You're now at the top of the request list. Do you still want it? Petros471 22:04, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
THanks for all your support Petros, you've been a great help. I tried not to, but am sitting at my computer waiting, just the same... It's been an exciting week. -- Guinnog 10:22, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much for participating in my RFA, which closed successfully today with a result of (62/18/3). I will go very carefully at first, trying to make sure I don't mess up too badly using the tools, and will begin by re-reading all the high-quality feedback I received during the process, not least from those who opposed me. Any further advice/guidance will be gratefully accepted. I hope I will live up to your trust! Guinnog 15:04, 30 August 2006 (UTC)} |
I sent you the email with my scores for the UPA. Daniel . Bryant 07:47, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
I am called Sean - my sister calls me Colin, and I'm trying to ignore her but I keep forgetting. So I call her Diccan [sic] - where's that from? :) — Xyra e l / 11:54, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
I've just left Netsnipe a similar message, so to be fair I'd better send you the same one :)
Could you consider shortening and 'de-emphasising' your signature? I find using a background colour distracting and it gives your signature more prominence on talk pages (as we should all be equal, that's not a good thing!), and its length fills up diff/edit windows making it harder to find and edit comments. I hope you don't mind me pointing this out, it certainly isn't that big a deal :) WP:SIG is the guideline on the matter. Petros471 21:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
i apologize for the inclusion of 'Dykes on bikes' on redvers subpage. However i thought it would appeal to redvers to have it on his subpage bearing in mind his sexuality. Although your views may differ it is important that we do not discriminate him because of his sexuality and learn to accept. ➨ Darren
