User change

Hey, I was wondering if you could verify something for me. For a long time, I've tried registering as user Jcarle, the account is created but it does not seem to be active, at all, if ever. If the account has never been active, would it be possible to have my account renamed from Jscarle to Jcarle? Thanks for any help you can give me. Jscarle 15:30, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

May I ask you to protect the main page of tpi: again and change the title of the main page to 'Pes fran' as suggested in 'Haus bilong toktok'? Thanks. -- Caffelice

A Grant Idea

I would like to talk to Danny about a grant idea that I believe would help[REDACTED] and the wider community but am unsure how to contact him. If he could email me at Nbruch@gmail.com I would appreciate it. Thanks

Thanks from Lafayette!

Danny,

Thanks for coming to Lafayette and presenting to our small group. I've been extremely impressed with what the foundation has done and look forward to contributing to these worthwhile projects.

Hungry? Here's a little snack for you on your birthday, from the Misplaced Pages Birthday Committee! Have a great day, Danny!

HAve a great one :)

Magnus Hirschfeld

Hello Danny,

It's almost four years ago when you started this article. I have a question about two of your elements that still have been preserved in the Magnus Hirschfeld biography of today's Misplaced Pages. You mentioned as a fact that Hirschfeld, a gay man, participated in the gay subculture of Germany, and also, that he was a transvestite. I wonder what is your source for that. For the very moment his colleagues or his many readers would know Hirschfeld was a participating gay man or a transvestite, no one would take him seriously anymore.

I didn't find any material about this in the various English and German biographies of Hirschfeld, but maybe you did. There are several known instances of Hirschfeld showing gay bars and transvestite festivities to distinguished guests (for instance Arnold Aletrino). That Hirschfeld was called 'Auntie Magnesia' or 'Magnolia' has been documented, but not as a transvestite. If you have a source for his uncloseted homosexuality or his transvestism, please let us know. Soczyczi 00:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

A few days ago, I asked one of Hirschfeld's biographers, Manfred Herzer, to comment on his participation in the German gay subculture, and on his supposed transvestism. Herzer thought both elements 'balderdash' I'm afraid. I am going to delete the allegation in a few days, unless of course you come up with some substantiation. Soczyczi 07:23, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Aeschylus is a good article

Saw your notice on the bounty board. Aeschylus has been promoted to good article and is being reviewed and re-worked for eventual submission as a featured article. - Mocko13 17:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Always glad to help for a good cause. What do you mean, though, by saying I should pick your next bounty? Should I just name an article? - Mocko13 01:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Then how about Zheng He, from the vital articles list or the core biographies - don't rmember which? - Mocko13 02:17, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

You're famous!

Porchesia: 2006-2006. Today's Uncyclopedia featured article. --210.49.99.248 08:41, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

That is quite the delete button you've got there! Do you know where I can get one of those? ;) Prodego 22:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Mindy Kaling

Is office protection for this article still needed? Thanks, Yonatan (contribs/talk) 17:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

It's been almost six months since the article has been protected over an entirely trivial dispute (stemming from a user who has been blocked indefinitely. The article should have been unprotected a long time ago.--DLand 16:58, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikimedia Vent(rilo)

I joined the Wikimedia ventrio and helping make it work. I went Vent before for mmo guilds, so I hope this works out greatly. User:Zscout370 03:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Porchesia

Why did you delete Porchesia? It's an actual island...--Aun'va 05:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Why?

I was able to deduce that he resigned. Does he have a reason? —Signed, your friendly neighborhood MessedRocker. 20:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Are those backwards? I don't see how Danny could de-Steward himself, then de-Bureaucrat himself. Prodego 20:13, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I am forgetting that the most recent are at the top, silly me. Prodego 20:16, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Danny's resignation statement can be read on the Foundation-l list. It doesn't answer your question, but it's what he's willing to share. -- llywrch 19:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I saw, Llywrch. In any case, I would update your user pages if I were you, Danny. —Signed, your friendly neighborhood MessedRocker. 20:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for all the fish

Just make sure you have a decent rest before you get sucked back into the wikicrack ;-) - David Gerard 20:59, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure what is or isn't going on (nor do I care to speculate), but best wishes from moi! בברכה, El_C 03:04, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I enjoyed talking with you at the meetup in DC. All the best in your new initiatives!—Perceval 21:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

FYI

Since you have been a big backer of FAs check this out: , there were 70 net FAs in March. -Ravedave 17:26, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

To add insult to injury, read the "fair use rationale" for this image, specifically the very last bullet point. You can check the history for how that happened. Jkelly 23:58, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

RFA nomination

Re: Editing your userpage

I hope you don't mind. I didn't actually realise it was protected at the time. --Deskana (ya rly) 01:53, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

New optional RfA question

Danny, I left a new question at your RfA -- if you became an admin, would you add your name to Category:Administrators open to recall? I think this might reassure/shift some of the current "oppose" and "neutral" votes. This question is, of course, optional.

Good luck with your RfA. --A. B. 16:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for answering mine as well. Darn, I was considering changing to oppose after the history the others found, then you go and write something eminently reasonable. I don't suppose you could go and perform some blatant personal attacks or vandalism or something so that I could make up my mind? :-) --AnonEMouse 17:26, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry. In a way it's admirable that you won't change your views to get votes. But in a way it also means you aren't that interested in the consensus of the community. You're very honest, and if you think you can adjust, I'll believe you; but the converse is also true, if you honestly believe you can't adjust, then, well, I have to believe that as well. --AnonEMouse 20:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

		Per Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for adminship/Danny#No arguing 26000 edits is indisputably impressive. Thank you very much for that. AnonEMouse 14:12, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
