Feel free

to talk as though none of this were happening. As long as I am here, I still have time to delete your article or block someone who reverts my edits. the_undertow 03:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

re:Guinea pig

Well, calling me a deletionist in general is probably fair. But in this case, it's not. The rule of thumb with uncited claims (forget where I saw it, probably just WP:V or the like) is: if it's potentially false but unharmful, just leave it and fact tag it. If it's uncited and potentially harmful, remove it. In an article which is supposed to represent the very best of Misplaced Pages, I consider it harmful for outlandish claims involving the eating of animals which most astronauts (read:Westerners and Russians) would find repulsive as food to stay without a very reliable citation.

P.S. Hope you're fairing well. Hang in there. VanTucky 18:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

It seems my sense of humor is still waiting for me at the bottom of my second cup of coffee :) VanTucky 18:33, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

This is far from enough to recognize your work...

Naathan Phan

Thanks for removing the notability tag! I've also added another gig, he was in Rent the musical. I've also emailed Naathan asking if he can add any more notable items to the article. -- GeĸrίtzĿ._..•˚ 00:18, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Headline text!

My new Sig is the armor of my old friend Tijuana Brass (talk · contribs), I know I've had the same one for eternity, but change can be good. Or catastrophically bad. I'll flick you an e-mail, the net has been down 'till today. Cheers! Dfrg.msc 07:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

K, may be I'll just put an underscore in my sig. Dfrg.msc 07:34, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Successful RfA - Thank you!

Thank you for supporting my recent RfA. It was successful, and I was promoted to Administrator today. I appreciate the support! — KieferSkunk (talk) — 23:10, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Ffdposter2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ffdposter2.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

Thanks for the personal touch. I think all bots should be made admins and sinebot should be a de facto crat. The rationale was fine. The image is great. the_undertow 23:56, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Seinfeld WikiProject Invite

Hey there. I couldn't help noticing your recent edits to Seinfeld-related articles. I am interested in setting up a Seinfeld WikiProject to improve articles related to Seinfeld. At the moment I am just looking for people who are interested in joining. If you are interested in joining, please add your name here or contact me on my talk page. Thankyou, Joelster 23:33, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

A.Wyatt Mann

Hi, I created this page and I can certify that it was definitely not conceived as spam. Just reading the article makes it obvious that I am just trying to document the works of this person and not advertising them. Regards, Wedineinheck 09:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Massive and Sudden Deletion

Thats' a great diff! How in God's name did you do that?! It's like deleting the whole RfA page (which is massive now for some reason) has anyone said anything. I'll flick you an e-mail, I'm back to dial up speed. Hax. Cheers! Dfrg.msc 04:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Ah- new sig! Dfrg_msc 04:50, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

My recent RfA

Thank you for participating in my recent RfA. Although the voting ended at 36/22/5, there was no consensus to promote, and the RfA was unsuccessful. I would like the thank you nonetheless for supporting me during the RfA, and hope that any future RfA’s proceed better than this one did. Again, I thank you for your support. ≈ The Haunted Angel Review Me! 02:28, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your support

Thanks for your support with respect to my request for adminship, which successfully closed today with a count of 47 support, 1 oppose. If you ever see me doing anything that makes you less than pleased that you supported my request, I hope to hear about it from you. See you around Misplaced Pages!

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/LaraLove

Oi, you online? Someone forgot to transclude the nom to WP:RFA. Either you or Lara can do it.. --Ling.Nut 14:13, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Best damn nom ever! Almost as good as some of mine :) — H₂O —  00:11, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Lolz. MSN, maybe? And just you wait for Neranei's RfA - I have one filled with kickass lame U2 puns on the way :) — H₂O —  00:16, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Your car

I'm not entirely sure how I ended up on your talk page, but I must say you have a very nice car (minus the ash) :). Ρх₥α 02:28, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

GlassCobra's RfA

		My RFA
		Hey man! I wanted to say thanks for your support in my request for adminship, which ended with 61 supports, 3 opposes, and 1 neutral. I hope your confidence in me proves to be justified, and please feel free to call on me if you ever need any backup or second opinions! I'm real sorry about what's happened in your area recently, hope all is well! GlassCobra 01:40, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support.

Remember, remember, the fifth of November? Thank you to everyone who participated in my Request for adminship, which was successful at 50/5/0 on November 5th, 2007. It became, as you may know, rather contentious toward the end (though fortunately no gunpowder was involved), and I appreciate the work of other Wikipedians to keep it focused. --Thespian 02:15, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Re:RfA

"I really would look at her 9K edits in conjunction with the diff you stumbled upon" True, that's what I did when I thought it was a one off incident and had supported initially. My point was not that LaraLove had a disagreement with someone (which I know happens all the time) but that she happened to question his motives. That is what I asked in the question and like I said, she is free to answer or not. Just know that I withdrew not because of the single incident but because she apparently continues to believe that she is right in questioning the other person's motives just because he thinks GA is pointless. This issue I think is significant because she takes any insult to GA too personally and, as Christopher Parham says, adopts an "us vs. them" approach which can only be counterproductive. And to be fair, if she answers the question honestly, I would probably change to oppose (that is my understanding from our off-wiki conversation; I just wanted a clarification for that). That is all I can say here but I am willing to give you a more detailed explanation on email. As for my belief about RfAs (rehashing old conversations etc.): I believe some things have to be raked up. How would I know I can trust a user as an admin unless I hear the candidate's interpretation and unless I know that they have changed/not changed since then? But I always ask optional (and I mean really optional) questions when I am in doubt. How the candidate responds to the question (whether they answer tactfully or brutally honestly or dishonestly) tells me something more about them. Usually, I ask a question and then support or oppose and I have always thought that if someone does not answer the question, I'll just abstain from that RfA altogether. I believe I am giving a good chance to the candidates when I ask them to explain the matter from their view. What they make of that chance is their decision. - TwoOars (Rev) 09:16, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

"If I did that much work at GA, I'd take things personally as well.: True, I am not so involved in any process, so I wouldn't know. The articles I work on are simple things with no controversies. But if you analyze what I said, you'll see that I only asked about something that will affect how the candidate reacts to something as an admin. AGF is a pet peeve of mine (another example of which you can see here), hence the withdrawal. "we have different approaches": it appears so. :) - TwoOars (Rev) 19:44, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I just have to know...

where you got your spelling of "dood" from. Also, sorry to here that the fires affected you; I am here at USC so the only thing that got to me was the eerie red sun and a smoky haze mixed with the usual smog o_0. --Cronholm 20:05, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

UCR

Whoa, there was a kilt involved? I may have spoke too soon - if "bears wearing kilts" doesn't have FA written all over it, I don't know what does. Tijuana Brass 04:21, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
