The articles will still be there in ten or twenty years time. So there is no need to hurry. If you feel strongly about something, and truth is on your side, you will always win out in the end. Anyway, I wish you all the best, and hope that you don't keep feeling miserable. You can always put a note on my talk page anytime. :) Wallie 22:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Come back when you feel it right Will. I know it's been tough recently, with everything that's been going on, here and in real life. Just remember that you have lots of friends here, and we all miss you. Come back soon Will. Th ε Halo Θ 11:04, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Sceptre for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page.
(See: User:Springeragh)
Hi there, we've never crossed paths on Wikipedia, but I had seen your name on the Esperanza alerts page, and on the Recent changes page a lot prior to this summer. I'm glad to see that you have returned. -- Tachikom a 05:42, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. This in regards to this edit that you made. Please refrain from comments like this. Thank you. -- Tachikom a 19:15, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Who exactly is accusing you of creating sockpuppets? I noticed that you created it, so... Anyway, I was really tempted to close it for lack of evidence, but will leave it for a few days. Let me know if you need anything. Thanks, Iola k ana• T 19:50, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Will, as you're a relative outsider to this topic, I'd value your objectivity. Talk:Elizabeth Parker (mountaineer) contains some discussion going back almost a month regarding the associated article page and along with Elizabeth Parker hut. Someone feels that the articles for the hut and the person should be merged with the Alpine Club of Canada page. On a related note, I recently did a page on the newly built Jim Haberl hut, which was given an AfD tag less than a minute after I created the initial stub.
I'm trying to complete pages for the twenty-five-odd mountain huts in Canada, on the grounds that Wikipedia should be a reference for all things, including what's covered by commercial references like bivouac.com and the ACC's own web site. The articles are stubs, but I'm hoping they can be filled out with nearby climbing/hiking/skiing objectives, more history, etc. More useful than the "brochures" on the ACC web site, cheaper and more complete than bivouac.com.
What's your take on all this? Should I continue adding hut pages and argue against the merges and deletions, or will deletionism beat out inclusionism? Should I just collapse all the hut articles into a couple of paragraphs on the ACC page and let the deletions happen? -- ghoti 06:15, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
I noticed your first edit was to M62, and this image, it looks slightly familiar, do you live in Hull. thanks/ Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 20:28, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Hiya, thanks for asking. I actually spend a lot of time on the Wikipedia categorization projects, be it tagging uncategorized articles, categorizing those that haven't got a category yet, or reorganizing existing categories. In regards to your question, I have absolutely no doubt that consistency is the way to go. Clicking on any clearly-defined category, should definitely show all of the articles being within it, as having a similar naming convention. -- Elonka 20:02, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Will: At the moment, the "This user is currently undergoing a Request for Adminship" header at the top of your userpage and talkpage points to The Halo's RfA rather than your own. I suspect you copied it from his page and should now correct the referent. Please also see my comments under "Support" on your RfA itself. Newyorkbrad 17:54, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
... um, now it's pointing to your first successful RfA and not the current one. Newyorkbrad 18:06, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry to see your RfA go. I'd nominate you again, but that probably wouldn't be wise. Still, though…just hang in, hang out, and hang loose! ;) — $PЯINGεrαgђ 19:32, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I've exceptionally closed the debate on the page User:Benon/sceptre. Although this is not a standard closure, it is my hope that it will satisfy most of the points brought up in the debate. If you STRONGLY disagree with this closure on a procedural level please leave me a talk page message rather than drag this to WP:DRV. Thank you, — xaosflux Talk 02:03, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Will (may I call you Will?), I was really afraid to post anything on your talk page before, because I was afraid that I might have hurt your feelings in that one sock incident (you remember what I'm talking about), and I didn't know what you thought of me. I hope you're not mad at me. My continued worries about the effects of my actions at that time contributed to my depression. I'm not saying that you were a contributing factor, but I have a really bad tendency to question everything I do. I guess you could call it perfectionism, but it only involves being anxious about things I do and not at all whatever anyone else does. A lot of other things were involved, mostly in real life. Please don't blame yourself for what I did (or tried to do).
I'm sorry that your recent RfA failed. I thought it was best that I didn't vote in the matter in any way, because as an involved party in that sock incident, I believed that there would be a possible conflict of interest, real or percieved. I'm not saying that I would have supported or opposed you, I'm just saying that it was best that I recuse myself from the situation. I do hope that you're feeling better now.
You know, this year has just really sucked.
Thanks again. -- Kyok o 19:58, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:WeirdalWiki.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.
