I apologize for offending you and promise to be kinder in the future.-- Dr who1975 ( talk) 19:20, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Just a note to say I love your "Prickle Me" talk link. I get it with your screen name but what it makes me think of is Shel Silverstein's Ickle Me Pickle Me Tickle Me Too. :) Travellingcari ( talk) 16:13, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
I, for one, would prefer if you did not use the icons in your AFD comments. AFD is a discussion, not a vote (!vote), and it makes your individual !vote look more prominent than others, as well as giving the appearance that only the vote has weight, and not the commentary. Thanks! -- Dhartung | Talk 17:03, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Looked like normal Scottevans speculation that you only half-caught. Will ( talk) 18:29, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

It would be much appreciated if you';d stop using symbols on the afds--it slows down the reading--Bold face is what is expected, and that's the purpose of formating conventions. DGG ( talk) 03:24, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello... Just to let you know - I re-reverted a couple of your reversions... This one because "licence" is correct for a permit (noun) in UK English ("license" is only used as a verb) and this one because RTD is now writing five epsiodes (and the source says this - the first one and the last four). For the latter, I suggest you might like to apologise to User:Vivaone since you gave him/her an unnecessary warning. Stephenb (Talk) 19:28, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Template:Userblank requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).
Thanks. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 22:05, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I take things as I see them and saw in you a genuine desire to be constructive. In fact, that's what led me to offer to help you from the word go. I think you've undoubtedly benefited from the experience and are an almost completely different contributor to the one you once were.
A change of username is a good way of indicating a line drawn under behaviour, and I'd recommend a fairly "vanilla" signature too, but that's up to you. I'll recommend approval of your use of AWB, though I'm not going to bulldoze it if there's well-founded opposition.
I think adminship is not beyond hope, by any means. Most users will disregard bad behaviour done in early edit history if a substantial period of time has gone by without signs of return to it. I'd suggest you wait at least 6 months from the end of mentorship, which'll sound an age, but I think your newly mature approach will handle it fine. During that period, do the kind of things RfA looks for and avoid the things it hates. If you don't know what they are, (and even if you do) participating in a lot of RfAs will help. But more than anything, the best thing you can do is without impersonating an admin, behave like an admin. Report things appropriately at AN and ANI. Refrain from too much silliness (a little is fine, where appropriate). Caution others gently when they behave poorly. Follow policies and guidelines and get involved with consensus discussions where you disagree with them. I think you can do it. It'd give me a lot of pleasure if you did. Oh... and if I thought you were ready, I'd nominate you myself. -- Dweller ( talk) 14:04, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
