If I post on your talk page, I will notice any replies posted there.
Unless you request otherwise, I will reply here to comments made here.
I will usually post a brief note on your talk page to let you know that I have replied, unless your talk page instructs me otherwise.
If you write a reply to me here, I may decide to move your text back to your talk page in an effort to keep the thread in one place.

The **Tightrope Trophy**, representing the amazing Charles Blondin carrying Jimbo Wales safely across the Niagara Falls, is hereby awarded by Bishonen to Mercury for his amazing balancing act at Homeopathy.

		The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		I'm awarding you this Barnstar for all your work protecting wikipedia from the vandals, in particular the revert and protection of my talk page, Thanks! Tiddly-Tom 16:27, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Orion4

Just a friendly note - you haven't said anywhere who he's a sock of. =) Adam Cuerden 02:49, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh sorry about that. Sm565. Mercury 02:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I guess I can take credit for this one. I thought Orion4 seemed very similar to Sm565 and asked Mercury in e-mail to run a check. Whig (talk) 03:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

And I looked at the edits of all accounts and came up with a conclusion. I have asked a checkuser to confirm. Mercury 03:15, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I had some dialogue with Orion4 on his talk page. I hope it was appropriate. I don't have any more to add there. -- Whig (talk) 05:56, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

And he's contesting the block. Your comment on Orion4's talk page indicates the block was due to checkuser. Was this done off-site? - auburnpilot talk 02:54, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm a little confused about what's going on here. Do you intend for the page to stay unprotected? I don't want to violate the spirit of page protection, even if the page is unprotected for the moment. Raymond Arritt (talk) 02:55, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Auburn: Dmcdevit confirmed with checkuser. He can answer anymore questions on that.

Raymond: You can restore your edits, I have unprotected the page. I usually revert edits made after protection as a consistent thing. But nonetheless, the page is not protected anymore as I have blocked the socks.

Regards to both (or three), Mercury 03:00, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

OK, thanks. Raymond Arritt (talk) 03:08, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

DRV

I hadn't read every single comment, no. As I understand it, Angela hadn't specifically requested the seventh AFD (despite Durova claiming otherwise) but nevertheless wants the article deleted by her other comments. >Radiant< 11:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Ok. Mercury 11:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Huh? First you complain that I make that comment next to my other comment, and then you also complain when I move it to the talk page because of your complaint? Are you now going to complain that I responded to something that you wanted a response to? >Radiant< 11:30, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Signature

Your signature is currently:

]

Mercury

You can change it to:

]

Mercury

and it will look the same, but is 43 characters shorter. Neil ☎ 11:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

It won't commit my change. Says "Invalid raw signature; check HTML tags." Mercury 11:26, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Aha, it wants the quote marks. Oh well, use:

]

Mercury

which is still 37 characters shorter than before. Neil ☎ 11:30, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

shorter still:

]

Mercury

and for Neil:

Never been good at this kind of thing, thank you.

Your preferences have been saved.

Mercury 13:15, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll be darned. Zocky is awesome. Neıl ☎ 13:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Blacklist

Hi - I notice you removed an entry from the blacklist with an OTRS link. Would it be possible to provide some insight into this. Thanks --Herby 14:06, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Sure. The office had a discussion with the individuals responsible (or the other way around). This should not happen again, was the outcome. Mercury 14:08, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks - the request to list looked valid. I was not aware any blacklistings were dealt with in such a way. Could you please then remove it from the log so that it is properly recorded. Thanks --Herby 14:10, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Recall

Your user-page currently indicates that you are "open to recall". In light of your inappropriate and disruptive closure of the (perennially unsuccessful) Angela Beesley AFD debate, and for the reasons enumerated here (including but not limited to your involvement in the Durova scandal), I solemnly request that you reinstate your request on meta for removal of sysop access immediately upon receipt of this message. Thanks. — CharlotteWebb 15:17, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
