Sable, thank you for your support in my RfA. I was actually surprised that you supported me, and I hope everything in Wiki is going well. I can promise that I won't go too insane with my SysOp privelleges. And I hope I still keep everything in the real world great. I'll try to help with that. Nick.

I was pleasantly surprised. Seeing your talk page it can be seen that you make great efforts to be helpful in a positive way. People who will take time to contribute to the "greater good" should be admired. I aspire to be more like that some day. Perhaps Wiki will allow me to do a little something at least in a small way. Kindest regards. Mike CCL.

I live near and work in eastwood and I am or oriential desent. Is this not a good enough source???? Please kindly re-instate what was deleted.

Thank you for your message and helpful hints. I am new to contributing to Wikipedia and am learning. I will check and add sources used for the article and attempt to understand Wikify

Just a good o' smily  ;-)
Thanks you for giving me a head up! Nice to meet ya'!

No problem - I'm sure your motives were positive. I didn't know about "signing on as an IP" - indeed I still can't really grasp the concept - but I realise that I should have logged in using my username before editing anything. I still don't really understand how wikipedia works - edits are not automatically attributed to the person making them, it seems (cf. attribution of posts to Usenet or web boards) - so I was trying to "claim" my comment without realising that it could be mistaken for impersonation. Never mind, I live and learn. How do I set up a disambiguation page, btw? There is a page called "Parliamentary Debate" which is about competitive debating in schools, yet most adults (in the UK at least) would assume that the term referred to debates in Parliament. I've suggested it on the Talk page but it's clearly not a very widely-read page, so I thought I'd try and sort it out myself ... Cheers.

I wrote the original article and all in it is verifiable. I don't know why it was rewritten.

these people are attacking the validity and popularity of my site, so i'm not going to mince words. if they're going to delete me then they will, i don't care. these people are basing their opinions on terrible reasoning and i'm straightening them out.

what the big deal is. it's not like i just posted a link to my site and that's it. i went through the process of listing all of it's notable attributes. i think these people are basing their opinions on the fact that they've personally never heard of it. i've done everything myself and haven't had the luxury of having advertising money like myspace, so i think a little credit is due for something that came out of sheer will and determination.

• I'll no doubt have some questions soon, so thanks again for the warm welcome!

Question: those cookies look nice. How can i get my hands on some of them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iqraboy (talk • contribs)

It was very serendipitous. Scott5114 told me about this, which I fixed. I then got reverted then unreverted by Bradcis. So I checked his contributions, and saw welcome. Wikipedia is at its most cool when stuff like that happens. Teke ^(talk) 17:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for your support on my RFA, which closed successfully this morning with a result of (64/3/3). I will be stepping lightly at first trying to make sure I don't mess up too badly using the tools. Any further advice/guidance will be gratefully accepted. I hope I will live up to your trust! --NawlinWiki talk contribs

I'm on editor review now; see Wikipedia:Editor review/TheM62Manchester for more details! Feel free to comment! --TheM62Manchester 11:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sable (I'm going to call you by your real name, this username business is so stuffy :) ), I've been spending some time browsing through old WP:ANI pages, and came across quite a few discussions where older users have definite issues with younger Wikipedians. I personally agree with you, and that these younger users need mentoring and coaching on how to edit in a helpful manner (even if their contributions are slightly inappropriate, in which case they need even more intensive assistance). It might even be quite an educational experience for some of them, learning how to write in the encyclopedic style, do their own research, etc. Just to let you know that if you think something like this should be done, I would be more than happy to take part. Oh, and if you're online now, sorry if I don't reply quickly, I'm off to dinner in a sec :) Cheers, — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 10:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I understand the concerns. Ta for informing me about that. Hopefully it will go somewhere, although I'm not sure whether we have a very strong case, considering all the nasty people out there on the net (and, dare I say it, possibly Wikipedia... who can really tell?) Well, thanks, and keep me posted if anything develops! — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 12:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I know, it's such a shame, considering Wikipedia is such a great educational tool – ignoring, for a second, IP addresses, edit wars and Dungeons and Dragons-cruft – and young people should have the right to feel safe and welcomed here. It would be nice to able to change older editors' perceptions about young Wikipedians, but it's so hard to teach an old dog new clichés :) Oh well, whatever it is won't happen in a day, so I guess we should just wait it out and see what the higher-ups think. — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 13:18, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That would certainly solve a lot of problems – and not just on Wikipedia! :) — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 13:25, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beranabus from the demonata should get an artical. He is a main character!

Thanks for the comments! As it is, I am updating the encyclopedia with obscure but interesting facts on things. As for the sockpuppet tagging, it's a routine task that has to be done! --TheM62Manchester 13:37, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your support of my RfA, which has passed with a final tally of 76/1/1. With this overwhelming show of support and approval I am honored to serve Wikipedia in the task charged to me and as outlined in my nomination. Happy editing to you! Teke ^(talk) 17:45, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Thanks! Thank you very much for your support on my recent Request for Adminship, which ended unsuccessfully just a few minutes ago. I was very pleased to hear your kind words in justifying your support - even when you changed it to a weak one, and with good reason. I'll be trying hard in the future to address the concerns raised by the opposing users, and if you wish to leave any advice or feedback for me, I'd be very happy to hear it. Thanks again! -- RandyWang (chat/patch) 13:34, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Take my warning off if you want and just leave yours look like you have 67.34.129.166 in your sights. All the best Khukri ^{(talk . contribs)} 19:00, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good stuff!! I'm gonna give him a test 4 then AIV unless yer an admin and want to do the honours, Right tin hats back on, back to the trench and give the enemy a bloody nose sir.... maam! Khukri ^{(talk . contribs)} 19:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trust me the cats don't care, or they are that nonchalant they pretend they don't care. just please don't drink whilst laughing it makes a mess of the keyboard. Khukri ^{(talk . contribs)} 19:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Awwww shucks. Right back into the fray, got a racist vandal to deal with and see a test 4 in the making, If you haven't already get yersel loaded up with vandal proof. Makes getting vandals as easy as bombing house flys with napalm, anyway enough of the war analogies have fun.

P.S. f you do go up fer your Rfa, give me a shout and I'll repay the favour. Khukri ^{(talk . contribs)} 19:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On a serious note, I admire some of the admins Vsmith, etc but when I read the Rfa statements by some people proposed it makes me cringe. To some of them they think it a PS2/3 game "Lets catch the vandals" where as to me it about the wikipedia info. Alot of them forget the amount of information and learning there is there, and without wanting to sound like a geek, it's one of the better things the t'interweb has been used for. They think it's all about having a pretty user page and having wiki mates. I dunno if I could do the fawning, creepingness the alot do to get there adminship, whereas I'm a tad blunt ;) I won't be up for mine for quite a long time yet, gimme another 10,000 edits. Anyway I'll get off my soapbox and let you get on. Traa Khukri ^{(talk . contribs)} 19:47, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your RfA voting

Hey, I just wanted to tip my hat to you. I was lurking around the RfA pages and I saw your comments in and surrounding your oppose vote at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Carnildo 3. I think you handled yourself gracefully under fire and I admire your honest, transparent, measured response to Sam Korn. BigNate37_(T) 17:59, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Riana 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!

I second that. Sorry you had to face that, but you handled it very well. Classy work. — riana_dzasta _{wreak havoc|damage report} 02:19, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya its Tromsgirl , How do I withdraw my Apllication for RFA ? I shall remove it, I understand what your saying :-) Thanks for the ip too its much appreciated :-)

Thankyou for your advice , Much Appreciated :-) I Have put on that i wish to be withdrawn from RFA. Have a good day :-)

(Tromsogirl 14:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks for the heads up, I closed it. Just for future notice if this comes up again: for truly uncontroversial closes where the user has withdrawn, any editor can just follow the steps at the bottom of WP:BUR that bureaucrats use to place the proper closing templates. But if you'd rather have someone "official" do it, I don't mind either. - Taxman ^Talk 15:34, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for welcoming me!

Thank you for your warm welcome. I enjoyed the cookies! Slackbuie 19:59, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RFA

There was a misunderstanding of question #1. I thought this was in addition to the tasks I stated above. I clarified a bit and hope you reconsider. Morphh 20:32, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the nice comments and cookies.  :-) I took a look at the AWB again - when I first looked at this, admin rights were required but now you can apply to use it. So, I've applied.  :-) I'm also looking for the bot that you mentioned that would add tags to particular categories. This would be very helpfull in my projects. I did not know that such a request could be made and I was doing everything by hand. After understanding that I can accomplish these tasks without being an administrator, I'm glad that the nomination worked out the way it did. For the time, I'd rather be working on articles. Thanks Again Morphh 16:41, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't find the bot that you mentioned. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks Morphh 20:13, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Long-Overdue RfA Thanks from Alphachimp

Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which was successful with a an overwhelmingly flattering and deeply humbling total of 138/2/2 (putting me #10 on the RfA WP:100). I guess infinite monkey theorem has been officially proven. Chimps really can get somewhere on Wikipedia. With new buttons come great responsibility, and I'll try my best to live up to your expectations. If you need assistance with something, don't hesitate to swing by my talk page or email me (trust me, I do respond :)). The same goes for any complaints or comments in regard to my administrative actions. Remember, I'm here for you. (Thanks go to Blnguyen for the incredible photo to the right.) alphaChimp laudare 05:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Take good care of Nick. Thanks for the really nice cake photo. So, when's the RfA coming? alphaChimp ^laudare 05:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

afd Brandon_Academy_Private_School

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Brandon_Academy_Private_School I have added a link to another article of this smart series. There is a wikipedia policy: Do not do edit in highly emotional state. That's smart too. User:Yy-bo 19:00, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well i am sorry, it turns out this editor (see afd discussion) is not the creator of the school article. I have taken a look at WP:SCH, in these terms the article is rather substanceless. I do not really bother if it stays, just looking for the opinion of others. Nomination for afd does not result in immediate deletion. User:Yy-bo 19:10, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the article certainly fails WP:SCH. That's why I've voiced my opinion that it should be deleted. I know that the nomination doesn't result in an automatic deletion (I'm very active in WP:AFD as well as WP:MFD). This debate should last at least five days, and I believe the article will be deleted as non-notable. Have a good day! Srose (talk) 19:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ehhhh

Should I point you to WP:MoS? :P Yanksox 14:22, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
