Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 09:57, 16 September 2006

I am rather busy in real life and cannot respond swiftly to queries for some time. I'll still log in most days to check messages and requests for admin actions, but if you need to get a hold of me, e-mailing me may be better. Thank you!

My archived talk Archive 1 Archive 2 Archive 3 Archive 4 Archive 5 Archive 6 Archive 7 Archive 8 Archive 9 Archive_10 Archive_11 Archive_12 Archive_13 Archive_14 Archive_15 Archive_16 Archive_17 Archive_18 Archive 19 Archive 20 Archive 21 Archive 22 Archive 23 Archive 24 Archive 25 Archive 26 Archive 27 Archive 28 Archive 29 Archive 30 Archive 31 Archive 32 Archive 33 Archive 34 Archive_35 Archive 36 Archive 37 Archive 38 Archive_39 Archive 40 Archive 41 Archive 42 Archive 43 Archive 44 Archive 45 Archive 46 Archive 47 Archive 48 Archive 49 Archive 50 Archive 51 Archive 52 Archive 53 Archive 54 Archive 55 Archive 56 Archive 57 Archive 58 Archive 59 Archive 60 Archive 61 Archive 62 Archive 63 Archive 64

Current state of mind is...

Did you call me?

Congratulations!

I don't think we've ever met, but it's difficult to miss your many contributions to Misplaced Pages and frequent kind words to other editors. I was so pleased to see that you'd been made an admin - I know you'll do an excellent job! - Tapir Terrific 00:05, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Now an admin

Well, what hasn't been said of your recent successful RfA? I wish I could say "congratulations" without it sounding remotely similar to a cliché and I'm sorry I could not extend my congrats to you earlier, but I was at my family reunion, far away from a computer, from 4-6 August. Sadly and also very regrettably, I missed your birthday as well. Consider this a multi-purpose comment and substitute the other some-260 supports as a substitute for my own. Aaрон Кинни (t) 02:20, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Aaрон Кинни (t) 02:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your thanks

Hi Sharon,

Wow, your RfA thank you message was a true and unexpected pleasure! It really put a smile to my face that you, the very soul of friendliness and warmth, would look up to me and talk about my own. Thank you very much, it means a lot to me that someone as renowned (and supported!) as you would notice a little WikiGnome such as myself. :-) And thank you for the kind thoughts on my son. He is fine now; there was nothing serious with him, he's just very weak and tired right now. But thank you for your kind thoughts, and thank you especially for making my day. I'm sure we'll talk more again, and I'm glad that you consider me a friend. :-) --Deathphoenix ʕ 03:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

help!

I don't know how to block someone's IP. --Yancyfry jr 03:11, 8 August 2006 (UTC) Oh nevermind.

Thank you...

*pokes Sharon* You can always add me on MSN. I asked your permission to add you and didn't get an answer (I know you're busy, no big deal). — Nathan _{/ 01:45, 10 August 2006 (UTC)}

Let me try another approach: I would really really like to talk to you on MSN sometime. *hugs* — Nathan _{/ 03:35, 13 August 2006 (UTC)}

Your RfA

You're very welcome. We just need a few more people like you on Misplaced Pages to brighten up the darkness... Fredil Yupigo 14:41, 8 August 2006 (UTC) PS: What happened to the formatting here!? 23:49, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Aloha!

Sharon,

You're RfA thanks message was, quite simply, amazing; I loved it that much I even printed it out! :) Your warm words were gratifyingly lovely; I like that warm feeling inside. I am also glad to see someone that enjoys '80s music, it is just amazing, isn't it? We should discuss more soon! Warm thanks, Iolakana| 16:19, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Userifying

Hi, typically when you userify something, it's best to make it a subpage of the main userpage of the user you are moving it for. It looks like you put something directly at User:EnglishPatientNY in this case. The only reason to do that would be if the user said this was their bio or whatever, which maybe is the case here. I'd be happy to discuss this further with you if you like... ++Lar: t/c 18:32, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

On reflection, maybe this is sorted... never mind. ++Lar: t/c 02:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

A gift for you...

Userpage?

Hi, I was looking at your userpage. Do you want to take on a project sprucing mine up? I saw that you like doing wiki pages :)--Kungfu Adam 22:16, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

HUZZAH!

Congratulations on your successful RfA. Had I gone over therein time, I would definitely have also given my support:

Support - User is amazingly personable and is among the best Wikipedians. Why has this person not been given admin status earlier?

Again, congratulations. ~ Porphyric Hemophiliac § 23:44, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

What should this header say?

It should say a lot of things…but I don't know which one to choose.

I know I am only adding to this backlog more, but I couldn't resist talking some to the local Wiki-celebrity! :D First few things are a bit technical (like the format of the Moodmetre, my picture and my archive box in that order on my talk page, which needs cleanup; and a little thing in the "header" of my love page—if a ♥ is available for the cursor, could you figure out how that works?, because I cant…and the Verdana font is optional, and one other page which needs {{flagicon}} correction)…

My wife and the baby are doing well so far. She sleeps a lot because she is tired and a little green in the face but that's normal so I'm happy. It's (or they're if we have twins) due in February.

I hear it's a little warm in your part of the USA…I read ≈100°? It was ≈90° here today, but I don't know whether we're cooling of or warming up (it's been that warm for a week).

Out of biting, eating-up curiosity that I know is just me but other people say is a trademark of the Irish—do you play any musical instruments? I'd have to say my favourite instrument is the violin, but I don't play it—I make noise with it. :| But I'm really good at the guitar and OK at the piano.

I realized I gave you the Society Barnstar instead of the Barnstar Barnstar, so you may use either…or both, if you like! (It would look better!) :)

Well, I think I'm done rambling for tonight, so I'll finish. Keep up the good work giving our barnstars; using the mop, bucket and keys; and with that Portal! Big, warm hugs from your devoted ally, —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-C|ε|L|T-) 02:24, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

GHe's RfA

Hi Phaedriel! Thank you for taking part in my RfA! Unfortunately, it ended with a final result of (62/23/7), and with only 73% support, no consensus was achieved. Nevertheless, I'd like to thank you again for your support and kind comments and better luck to me next time! :) Btw, your Thank you card was nice! I liked it! :)  G.He 03:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Late

And terribly sorry! I was out of town - many congrats, you will be a wonderful addition to the Admins. KillerChihuahua 14:58, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

RE: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Linux vs windows

Youi closed this AfD as speedy delete, but the article is still there. I am not sure if it was missed being deleted or if it has been re-created somehow.--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 20:08, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

It's been changed to a redirect, which is fine. P.S. You semi-protected this page with the intent of preventing recreation; was that really what you meant? I've fully protected the page, but feel free to undo the protection if that was done on purpose for some reason. Cheers, JYolkowski // talk 02:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Heya

Not a problem, I know where to find ya. Thanks for the nice comments. As for This link, I don't know when it will turn blue, I realized that self-nominations are kind of a RfA suicide except in some cases, especially since I am disliked my some. So I need to wait until someone else nominates me (like you maybe!)

Also, thanks for the flower. I think I'll find a nice place on my user page to put it... ~ Porphyric Hemophiliac § 22:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

You are more than welcome

Dear Sharon Phaedriel:

Your card was absolutely charming. With the sad (though possibly temporary) departure of Crzrussian from the administrator ranks, I'm especially glad to know you'll be joining them. How do you ever have the time to do anything if you make a personalized card for over 200 people? You have not ceased to amaze me. I wonder if you also read the other line I wrote in your RFA, about your probably having to kick kittens to compensate for such inhuman niceness? I can't wait to see the first use of your flamethrower charged with rose petals.

Dearest Vandal: I hope you enjoy the time off period sometimes known as a block, and do not see it as a punishment, but, instead, as an opportunity to stop and smell the flowers...

AnonEMouse 23:51, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

hahaha... perhaps you inspired her? See User:Phaedriel/Test5 ++Lar: t/c 11:05, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh yes she did ;) The credit is all Mouse's, not mine! Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 11:15, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Well whatever the reason, well played! ++Lar: t/c 11:51, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Smile

Kungfu Adam 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!

Userbox

I was doing userbox work and I found a userbox that suits you (there are others that seem to suit you as well). I removed the TV show reference (by substing the userbox) so it's not like I'm shamelessly plugging a TV show (which isn't the point):

And like her, that show rocks :P Will 10:14, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Only 8 out of 10?!? Where are the other two? I'm a-going to teach them what's what! ;) —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-C|ε|L|T-) 15:17, 10 August 2006 (UTC) I solemnly swear that will be the last time I poke fun at a movie line. ;)

You tell 'em, Cliff :D — Nathan _{/ 02:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)}

Thank you for your kind message...

I peeked

Sorry, saw it on RC patrol and looked: User:Phaedriel/Test5. The nicest block message ever. Hope all is well -- Samir धर्म 06:05, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

And many thanks for the card :) It brightened my day. Take care -- Samir धर्म 06:10, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Cleaning up mess

Hello, I see that you're helping clean up the mess made by 67.186.97.192. One thing I noticed that he botched the welcome for MartinDK (talk · contribs). I replaced the welcome message with a proper one, but would it be possible to delete the two previous entries? It just doesn't seem right to me that the first two edits on a new editor's talk page are from a prankster. Thanks. -- Gogo Dodo 07:10, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. =) I probably shouldn't have said "Proper", but oh, well... Congratulations on your recent adminship, too. -- Gogo Dodo 07:21, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

My Editor Review

Hey, thanks for taking the time to review me! Really, I hadn't thought too much about my article space edits recently, so it was very useful to hear that I need to work on bumping them up before I consider running for an Rfa. Thanks for pointing that out to me: I'll be working more in the article space from now on, to see if I can get things up to snuff. :) RandyWang (/_{fix me up}) 07:59, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Your most original block notices

I just noticed the block notices you've been giving vandals - I must commend you on your originality! I'd be interested in seeing whether kindly-worded notes have any effect on vandal recidivism rates as opposed to stern warnings. Thanks for bringing some kindness into the ranks of what I think can be some really grouchy admins. :) --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 18:09, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Hmm.... versus .

Lol! — Deckiller 18:23, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Queue up an "I told you so" about her changing the very way we do things around here! Go Phaedriel! Big hugs... ++Lar: t/c 20:58, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

The sysop flag does not make on grouchy :) Will 21:13, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Necessarily. As proven by Phaedriel. But it seems to in many cases (including myself I fear...)... ++Lar: t/c 21:21, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Empathy does make a difference to new users. We are all victims of the circumstances, and it helps to remember this from time to time. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 21:32, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Indeed it does, well said. I like this new template so much I've cribbed it (User:Lar/test5) and once I've got the wording thw way I want it, I will start using it. ++Lar: t/c 21:47, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Pssshhh! My block template is the roxxor. Yanksox 23:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, my dear friends, thank you for the enthusiastic response, which has caught me by surprise! Time will tell if this has a positive impact or not, which I sincerely hope it does; my wholehearted thanks to dear AnonEMouse for the idea - you're great, Mousey! :) Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 01:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Heh, looks like I've started something. --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 04:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

If you look up, you'll see that Samir has prior art. ;) - Samsara (talk • contribs) 08:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

where? ++Lar: t/c 15:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

K, Yanksox, no offense, but I probably won't be cribbing much from yours. Made me laugh though. ++Lar: t/c 15:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Wow, that almost makes me want to get blocked by you for something Phaedriel--almost. Ungovernable Force 04:40, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Smile

Æon has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better.

Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!

Congratulations!

I'm sorry I didn't get back from Wikibreak until after your RfA had concluded to change that neutral into a support, because you can safely ignore everything I had to say in my neutral. :-) I have great faith in your responses. I am fully confident that you'll make a great administrator and look forward to working with you as an administrative colleague. Congratulations! theProject 23:50, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Conflicts of interest

I am sorry for adding to your work load, but you bring wiki-love to everything you touch and I am selfish enough to wish for a little of your special touch to Misplaced Pages:Conflicts of interest. WAS 4.250 03:16, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Best barnstar yet!

Wow...that is the best barnstar anyone has ever given me! I really appreciate it and I am glad I made you smile...this place is uptight enough so a little joking around never hurt anyone. Maybe Alfred E. Neuman might want to join the project someday, but I'll leave that up to him. You're simply the best. Thanks.--MONGO 08:14, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA thanks

Hey, thanks for the awesome thank-you note you left on my page - it's easily one of the nicest I've ever received, and has consequently been added to my nice things page. I've already seen you doing some excellent work as an administrator, and can see even now that I made the right choice in supporting you in your RfA. Best of luck in the future, and do keep up the good work! I'll see you around. :) RandyWang (/_{fix me up}) 08:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Mine was very nice as well. You really have this wikidesign stuff down. Not to mention the being nice stuff as well. I almost feel bad thanking you though since you're page is sooo full of messages right now. But hey, it probably won't take too much more of your time to read a couple more sentences. Ungovernable Force 22:18, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations!

I watched your RFA with great interest, and now that I've decided to make known who I am, here's my belated congratulations! Chacor (formerly NSLE) 15:19, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Another gesture my friends would call beautiful

I took the job at User talk:Phaedriel/Soundtrack of Wikipedians#The Wikipedian Cinema and plagiarised you even more at User:Springeragh/Wikipedian Notebook! Only after sundry sighs and "Oh, it's me again"s… ;) Seriously though, I am more of a :D right now—and a bit of >:D —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-C|ε|L|T|♪-) 16:16, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

When you're no longer busy

(i.e. some time next year?) Any chance you could give my user page a spring clean, in terms of formatting? In particular, the barnstars section is a bit of a mess. Long time no see on MSN! :( --kingboyk 18:14, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

um, how about the folk she hasn't gotten to at all yet??? hmmm? At least she's actually fixed yours up! :) ++Lar: t/c 02:11, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, of course, I appreciate there will be a wait! --kingboyk 09:26, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually forget it sweetheart, it's not too bad :) --kingboyk 09:38, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Sucking up isn't going to move you up in the queue... :) ++Lar: t/c 00:02, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Belated congrats

Dear Phaedriel, such a long delay in offering congratulations to you for new adminship is poor form on my part. But, spectacularly well done - a new world record holder !!!! I know you will wield the mop and bucket with wisdom and good grace, and I wish you well with that. Take care, happy mopping, and enjoy the cactus flowers. --Cactus.man ✍ 09:23, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

You can't forget the "keys", -man—mop, bucket and keys! ;) —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-C|ε|L|T|♪-) 16:17, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Your page design genius

Hi Phaedriel, would you take a look at the architecture portal, WP:ARCH? You have done such a great job with Portal:Indigenous peoples of North America, and with user pages, we could really use your help improving this portal. I don't know how to get you to help other than just to ask. We would really appreciate your feedback. I am sure you are busy, but let me know if you have the time. DVD+ R/W 20:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I could also use your help with my userpage. I've wanted to ask for a while but somehow choose the time when you are busiest. I don't know how you do it. DVD+ R/W 16:29, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the awesome card - really brightened my day! What must be really fun, though, is making almost 300 custom RfA thank-yous. ;) --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 23:48, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Goldom's RFA thanks

Thank you for your support on my RFA, which closed successfully this morning with a result of (53/2/1). I've spent the day trying out the new tools, and trying not to mess things up too badly :). I was quite thrilled with all the support, both from the people I see around every day, as well as many users who I didn't know from before, yet wrote such wonderful things about me. I look forward to helping to serve all of you, and the project. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 04:36, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Questions

Hello, Phaedriel. I have some questions for you. First, what do I have to do to be a recipient of Today's star? And why is your talk page semi-protected?--Chili14 04:42, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

YAC

(Yet Another Congratulations)

Thanks for your thank you card, I can't believe you made a custom one of those for everyone (actually knowing you I guess I can!)

Anyway, welcome to the admin ranks, you are truly someone I look forward to working with :) Petros471 15:05, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Deleted Pages

When you delete protect a page, please fully protect it instead of semi-protecting it. Semi-protecting defeats the purpose of full protection. Thanks, Yanksox 15:12, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Get well

Get well soon. DVD+ R/W 17:29, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes I don't even like the idea of you being unwell, let alone actually being unwell. Stop it right now and get better! --Alf 17:35, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

And best wishes from me too, for a speedy recovery. (I'll be on wiki-break myself, but I'm busy, not sick.!) Hope you feel better soon. AnnH ♫ 17:49, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

File:VariousPills.JPG Sorry to hear you're feeling down. I'm sure one of these will help as long as they don't interact and cause nasty side-effects. That wouldn't help anything. Ungovernable Force 06:10, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Archived (again)

I don't know if your initial permission extends to future archival, but I archived your userpage again. Once again, the archival reduces the page size greatly: originally 102KB, now 37KB.

Help

Can you help me on userpage please Sharon. I want it to be like your background but instead of it being Pink, I want some light colours. And I would like someone to look out for my userpage while I'm on holiday. Thanks!

Abdullah Geelah 18:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

My that's a big signature you have there. Sharon gets a lot of requests, you may just want to be added into the queue of people who are hoping that she might be able to do some of her magic on their page... asking that she watch your page while you're on holiday might be a bit much. Just set a wikibreak notice and if it gets vandalised, it most likely will be reverted by the recent changes patrol guys. ++Lar: t/c 22:15, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Indigenous peoples of North America Portal

Congratulations on having this portal promoted – it is a fine portal indeed. Also, it was the most discussed candidate yet (no doubt due to its being linked from your RfA). I noticed you've fallen ill too. Get well soon, --cj | talk 08:17, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Another utterly superfluous "get well soon" header

Hello Phaedriel. I have just a few little matters that I must get off my chest. Firstly, congratulations on your Adminship. I hope you are enjoying and will enjoy your new AdminPowers - you certainly deserve them. Secondly (though related to the first point), I noticed that you are yet to give me a thank-you card. I see you uploaded one: Image:RfathxCelestianpower.jpg, but you failed link it to my talk page. I just assumed that you forgot me, like everyone else does *sniff*, but it'd be nice to get it on my talk all the same :).

Thirdly, please get well ever so soon. You don't deserve to be ill in the slightest, and we need you not to be. It's your duty not to catch colds, since you're now a custodian.

Hello Phaedriel! Get well soon! Your Wikisoundtrack idea is a great one; I can only fit a few of my favourites in the space provided. Feel better soon! Waves of warm Wikilove wafting from a cool UK Summer/Autumn :-)  (aeropagitica)   (talk)  21:26, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Unspeakably ugly!

Alright, I just had to say I love the Hannibal quote on your user page, Hannibal is my second favority movie villain ever. I just hope you don't say it as menacingly as he does ;-) Get well soon, by the way. Karwynn (talk) 15:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Glad to hear you're feeling better! And personally, I kind of like the idea of you saying that quote menacingly. :-) (Then the scary music climaxes right as you put a picture of a rose on the offender's talk page.) --Allen 00:34, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Yay, your better

That's actually very ironic since I was about to add your name to the Esperanza alerts page. I had just realized your name wasn't on there. Glad to see you're feeling better. Ungovernable Force 00:32, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Got well

Glad to hear it! Will 00:33, 18 August 2006 (UTC) PS: Get on MSN, please

Thanks to all of you for your warm get well wishes and your beautiful welcome, my friends :) I promise to message you all as soon as I possibly can, I promise! :) (Especially you, Cliff - I have much to tell you, and you've waited so patiently) Thank you all again, I really missed you these awful days! :) Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 00:44, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

MSN...

Not meaning to be rude, but I've been wanting to talk to you, and you keep signing on and signing back out afterwards :( Will 01:38, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Me too. So maybe you shouldn't sign on at all so we don't know you turned up and dissed us. :) ++Lar: t/c 06:00, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I was able to get an explanation out of her; she just checks her emails and signs straight off. Will 08:38, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

A smile for you...

Michael 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!

Congrats!

I know its late, but congrats on becoming an Admin! It's the least we could have done due to all the great contribs you have made to the site. Karrmann 02:19, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

A "Hi there" message

Hi Phaedriel, we haven't talk for awhile, so I thought I'd just leave you a "Hi there :)" message.

Sorry to see you're so busy right now (it's not good for the wiki to be without you baby), but I hope that, other than being worked off your feet, things are going good.

I know your backlog is crazy, so don't worry about replying to this message here. You've got enough work to do ;)

Keep well. Thε Halo 12:14, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Maybe you need a holiday

For example diving and sailing in the Bahamas. It is very relaxing. Or just enjoy this pic.

Deletion of Buy4Now

Hi

That deletion was not a CSD G4, primarily as the content was not "substantially identical copy" of the original article. As you're an admin, you should be able to compare content. As goes its notability, etc, thats for an AfD to decide - and as the old one was on a majorly different article, CSD doesn't apply. I'd appreciate if you'd restore the article, and AfD it if you so wish. --Kiand 04:23, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

She may not get your message right away. You can ask any admin to restore it, or you could take it straight to Deletion Review yourself. I looked at a few of the deleted versions and do agree that ther does seem to be some difference in the content but the most recent version I looked at didn't assert notability. You can let me know what you'd like to do if you want, I'm an admin and can undelete and list it for you. ++Lar: t/c 14:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Featured Portal?

Congratulations! I haven't done anything featured, so I congratiulate my friends who do so... excellent! ЯyanGerbil10(The people rejoice!) 05:16, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

How did I miss this?? congratulations to Phaedriel and all who participated. ++Lar: t/c 18:04, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I've returned

Yes, I've come back from my wikibreak relaxed & ready to go. Just thought I'd drop by to let you know I was back. I see you've gone mad & created a bunch more of those "soundtrack of wiki-like" things ;). I may be posting on them soon... muahahaaa...

I don't know if it's a good idea semi-protecting your user talk page however. Your fame & kindness preceeds you; what I'm thinking is, is what if a new user, looking for advice from an admin such as yourself, tries to post here for advice? They might be forced to come to one of the other, less likeable admins, or worse, a non-admin! Anyway, hope you've had a good day etc. See you later... :) !Spawn Man 23:59, 22 August 2006 (UTC)!

Non Admins aren't so bad ;-) Stephen B Streater 08:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Image:RfathxJossi.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:RfathxJossi.jpg, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. BigDT 11:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I didn't realize when I tagged this until I looked more closely that there are about eleventy billion similar images. Do you plan to delete them yourself at some point? BigDT 11:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

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 Misplaced Pages. 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 05:35, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for everything! Hang in there and don't hesitate to contact me if you need any assistance. You're awesome! alphaChimp 05:35, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Sḵwxwú7mesh-ulh Uxwumixw

I know, I can't pronounce it either; it means Squamish Nation and someone named OldManRivers moved it freom Squamish Nation to this; and bypassed a similarly-named page, which apparently wasn't correct for not having an accent here or there, and left that other page blank (I just made it a redirect). Pls see my comments on his talk page, and, well, we kind of have this problem in BC as most of the "cultural correct" names tend to be very remote in form/appearance from how the peoples are known in English; some are straightforward and we're used to dealing with them - Nuu-chah-nulth, Nuxalk, Kwakwaka'wakw, Sto:lo, St'at'imc (Sto:lo, St'at'imc and Nuxalk aren't "correct" though as they're missing accents). My main issue here is expecting English speakers to use non-English names; does someone speaking Sḵwxwú7mesh-ulh snichim say "English" when speaking Sḵwxwú7mesh-ulh snichim, for example, or do they say, as in Sto:lo, a phrase meaning "language of the hungry people"? You're the first admin name associated with the Indigenous project I saw this morning so I landed it in your busy lap. If there's someone better to broker/abrogate this pls forward it; after my coffee(s) I'll try and put a piece on it re the Indigenous project's talk page.Skookum1 17:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I think you may be waiting a while to get a reply from Sharon. It seems to me that on the English Misplaced Pages that's not a reasonable name for an article - we don't use Japanese characters after all. There's also a mess of redirects which need to be sorted out. I'm tempted to revert it. One thing puzzles me and that's where the edit history has got to... shows the page move as the first entry. Any ideas anyone? Lar? --kingboyk 17:56, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Gotta love the Spam

Hey there Phaedriel! Been going through and cleaning up some spam stuff dicovered in an AfD. Myself, along with Crunchy Numbers, have been having to clean up what Brian Radwell has done. His editing contribs are nonsense spam such as this. I pretty sure he is the same person as Likes2draw, who has almost no history. Users contribs are here. I’m not sure on process for getting something on the notice board. It looks like violations in WP:SPAM and WP:SOCK. He has re-created deleted articles under different titles from what I understand. Could you help me not attack this user, but just get him to stop? Thanks so much. :-) JungleCat talk/contrib 17:28, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Polls:

Hi. I'm just sending out a message for a new study I will be undertaking soon. It will involve surveys & polls to gather information & trends of editors on Misplaced Pages & other subjects. The data gathering will involve yourself recieving a questionaire on your talk page for you to fill out. I will then collect your questionaire & combine it with data from other editors. If you would like to be a part of this experiment, or know of someone who does, place a "Yes" or "No" below this message. Remember, it's only for fun & you can choose not to fill out all or parts of your questionaire once they arrive. Have a nice day... -- Spawn Man 05:36, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Sacagawea

I know your time is limited, but since I spent a fair amount of time on expanding and referencing the poor skimpy article on Sacagawea this week, I thought I'd bring it to your attention in case you'd like to look it over and offer any suggestions on improving it further. Thanks! — Catherine\ 16:22, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

HI

What do you think of this video? According to your User page it seems like you feel very 'oppressed.' — (talk) (Desk|Help me improve)

Mac, this video approaches a sensitive subject with inflammatory language. Also, your use of quotation marks around the word "oppressed" seems to suggest that you are challenging what you see as Sharon's view of herself. If Sharon were around, I'm sure she would know a great way to respond to your post with lots of positive energy and wikilove. But she isn't around right now, and a lot of editors watch this talk page, and a lot of those editors feel strongly about supporting Sharon. I'm concerned that a post like this could begin an argument that might have little positive impact on the encyclopedia. Have you considered trying to contact Sharon off-wiki with your question? --Allen 07:12, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Did you watch the entire video? No, I haven't, I'm sorry to not see any future arguments among multiple users. Thanks for the advice. The quotes were my way of questioning how she felt, because I am not sure. I didn't mean to be third-personly insulting her, I meant to ask her what she thought of the points raised in the video. — (talk) (Desk|Help me improve)

Thanks for the elaboration. And yes, I did watch the whole video. --Allen 16:58, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this very interesting video to my attention, dear Mac. Although I really feel like punched in the stomach after seeing it, and even more to have my feelings towards my race and our past questioned right here, truly, thank you. Now I'm really not in the mood to go in depth about my thoughts on the subject right now, so if you excuse me, dear, I think I'll give you my thoughts at you talk page someday, k? Hugs, Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 05:06, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Chadbryant

Hello, since I've come to you in the past then I will come to you agan. This user Chadbryant is a menace. He will make up his own rules and apply them to the pages he wants. He vandalizes articles by removing images and various other things constantly. He thinks he is following policies on Misplaced Pages, but actually he is making up his own. He has 4 reverts on the article Triple H and I dont have time to report him. So, if you could consult this user, it would be very appreciate. Thanks. --Mikedk9109 23:25, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Phaedriel has been away for quite a while, and may not be able to help you. Consider discussing the situation on either the three revert rule noticeboard or the incident reporting noticeboard. Hope that helps. ++Lar: t/c 09:24, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
