I see that you're currently patrolling new pages. Could you lend a hand with the backlog? That would be great. No reply needed. Happy editing. Keegan talk 05:05, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I hate to say it, but RfA does not work the way you suggest.
Old grudges die hard.
It's a great sentiment though...maybe one day it'll be the truth! :) dihydrogen monoxide ( H2O) 01:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I didn't know that when I suggested that I nominate him. Now that I do, I will wait and see what he says. Thanks for letting me know that. Cheers, Razor flame 16:33, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Ya I just scanned through it and well, Trip sounds like an ultra-British natoinalist. I agree with you and red on that problem. ( SaudiArabia44 ( talk) 19:05, 4 May 2008 (UTC))
S'alright, I do that a lot! Cheers, PeterSymonds | talk 15:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Tanthalas39...Several people have expressed an interest in my next probable nomination for adminship. Messaging people when it happens would look a lot like canvassing, so I would prefer not doing that. If you are interested in it, you could add this to your watchlist. If it is created, you will know, maybe even before I do depending on how often you check your watchlist. If you wish to gush prior to it being officially up, have fun, but only when it happens please. I am in no particular rush. Have a very nice day! :) - LA @ 10:12, 6 May 2008 (UTC) |
Suprised to see you reporting this one [1]. I've declined, per when reporting at WP:AIV be sure the vandal is currently active and also insufficent recent warnings. Sorry matey. Pedro : Chat 14:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Just popping over to ask if you want to co-adopt Retro, not that I am suggesting that neither of us is incapable of doing it alone, I am more than willing to adopt him, its just that you are both on the same wikiproject and (I would assume) in the same time zone that co-adoption may benefit retro2 somewhat. However if you don't want to, I will go ahead and adopt him and you can assist in him in pretty much the manner that you set out on his talkpage. Please drop me a line on my talk page. Also thanks for calling me a great editor, twas really nice of you to say such kind words.(P.S., althought this is my first message on your talk page, I have seen around and I have always thought that your a pretty fine editor.)-- Kerotan Leave Me a Message Have a nice day :) 23:46, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
He is a persistent one that one, problem here is that its very difficult for any POV warrior to see beyond their vision or they wouldn't have the problem in the 1st place. However that being said never let anyone run you off from doing what you love. Tirronan ( talk) 19:25, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
He'll either stop or get banned, he has been blocked already for stuff like he is doing now. Tirronan ( talk) 20:33, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Well after blasting me he decided the better part of valor was to leave the article alone. I have to say that biting one's tounge around here helps more than a bit. I hope he will come to see that after the heat there is a lot of value to what we do. Tirronan ( talk) 20:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry I didn't respond last night... I'll take a closer look at your request tonight. I got home from work and crashed... slept for 11 hours last night! (I usually only sleep for 4-6 hours.) Balloonman ( talk) 15:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, sorry to bug you, but two editors are teaming up to continually add the unverifiable content back to this article. Can you help at all, explaining this issue to them? People who understand WP:V seem in very short supply lately. -- Rividian ( talk) 02:09, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm glad somebody caught the reference :) I love that book too! I went with apples and uranium for 'crats and ArbCom because the latter of each pair is fairly radioactive in my opinion. I guess apples and baby wolverines would have worked too. Cheers! -- JayHenry ( talk) 15:36, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello, Tan.
I wanted to personally thank you for taking part in the project-wide discussions regarding my candidacy for bureaucratship. After bureaucratic discussion, the bureaucrats decided that there was sufficient significant and varied opposition to my candidacy, and thus no consensus to promote. You may have found nothing after looking for days, but enough others did find something :) . Although personally disappointed, I both understand and respect their decision, especially in light of historical conservatism the project has had when selecting its bureaucrats. If you have any further suggestions or comments as to how you think I could help the project, please let me know. Once again, thank you for your support. -- Avi ( talk) 18:56, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Tanthalas; I wanted to say thank you for supporting my request for adminship, which passed with 100 supports, 0 opposes and 1 neutral. I wanted to get round everybody individually, even though it's considered by some to be spam (which... I suppose it is! but anyway. :)). It means a lot to me that the community has placed its trust in my ability to use the extra buttons, and I only hope I can live up to its expectations. If you need anything, or notice something that bothers you, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks again, PeterSymonds | talk 21:59, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your support at my recent Request for adminship. It’s probably good that we don’t agree all the time; I’m the first to admit that occasionally I can be completely out to lunch, and somebody’s got to be around to point it out! I hope you find I live up to your expectations. Best, Risker ( talk) 16:00, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Genuine question - am I citing WP:ORG inappropriately? Both WP:CORP and WP:ORG go to the same page. I was merely choosing it because it had one less letter to type. However, I don't really wish to appear foolish in my AfD participation... Tan | 39 18:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey as i had created akshay zimare article which was eventually deleated due to my lack of knowledge to follow the wikipedia guidelines as i am a novice to wikipedia. I would like to also deleate the archive responses of other users about akshay zimare article as that article no longer exists. Please guide me to deleate those comments cuz those are kinda annoying. Writing in anticipation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Enigmatic1986 ( talk • contribs) 17:51, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, interesting. I will look over it further. You might want to make a new section for WP:3O on the Harlem Heights talk page which links to that. MrPrada ( talk) 15:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
That would be an interesting request : ) I honestly didn't see anything wrong with my comments, but I suppose it's that emotional barrier the internet puts up. Wisdom89 ( T / C) 16:16, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
It seems very unusual to close an AjD which you have been involved in, if you do the nomination or vote in the AfD, I would say it is common sense not to close it yourself. AfD's are not withdrawn, consensus should be reached first and the 5 days should be run unless there is a clear conclusion drawn from a wide range of responses. I'm reffering to Australian Council for Educational Research btw ... Happy Trails. -- maelgwn - talk 12:29, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks so much for your support in myRfA, which closed successfully this morning. Look forward to seeing you around, usually in our forum ;) TravellingCari the Busy Bee 16:45, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
I know you've all been worried sick about me and my recent dearth of edits. Fear not; I have returned home in one piece. A lot of business travel culminating with a three-night Vegas trip in which the Venetian poker tables were very, very good to me. Anyways, WikiParticipation will be ramping back up. Reading Keeper's page, I missed some interesting events that I probably wouldn't have commented on anyways :-) See you in the usual places - Tan | 39 02:09, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm jealous! I was in Vegas last November and loved it. Glad you travelled safely :) TravellingCari the Busy Bee 20:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
IMDb content is copyrighted, same as anybody else's. If somebody wants to take information from IMDb and use it in a non-infringing manner in an article (not a simple cut-and-paste), they should be aware that it's not really considered a reliable source. -- Orange Mike | Talk 17:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

You uploaded the image with this note: "Per 30/May/2008 phone call with NYPL, image is permitted to be used on Wikipedia. No written permission will be granted." Main problem; written permission must be presented for this type of image thru OTRS.
