United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories

Hey Brad--just wanted to say nice work on this article. Good stuff--you clearly know what you're talking about. · rodii · 02:05, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Wickethewok's RFA

Thanks for your support on my RFA. The final vote count was (61/9/3), so I am now an administrator. Feel free to let me know how I'm doing at any point in time or if you need anything. Once again, thank you. Wickethewok 16:25, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Eternal Equinox/Workshop

Thank you for your supportive comments here They are appreciated. That Fred Bauder thinks I can be banned instead of Eternal Equinox has caused me to have a severe sense of humour failure. In retrospect, of course instead of making light of Eternal Equinox, I should have taken her very seriously - which is what she wanted - but frankly she and her edits on our talk pages were (at best) a joke - so one could either laugh or cry, and crying has never been my style. That Fred Bauder thinks Bishonen should be "cautioned" is, in short, disgusting. She seems to spend hours and hours trying to create harmony on the site, and takes her responsibilities as an admin 100 times more seriously then most of the others. I think the Arb-com now needs a huge kick, and to rid itself of insulting and incompetent buffoons. I expect I shall stick around Misplaced Pages, but at the moment mu entheusiasm for it is at an all time low. Sorry this is a (sort of) spammed message, but when I saw all of your comments for the first time this evening, I felt a quick response was necessary, but that makes it no less sincere. Thanks once again, it's nice to feel supported. Giano | talk 19:42, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Typos

Newyorkbrad said: Your edit was correct, typo on my part (and the famed Misplaced Pages spellcheckers missed it!). Regards.

Thank you very much for clarifying this for me, the main catalyst was that even Google's spellcheck toolbar tried to miss it so I wasn't entirely sure which was the correct version and which was the incorrect version. Regards. Bobo. 21:56, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it wasn't my typo after all -- it was there before I edited the article -- but I did miss it in doing clean-up. Newyorkbrad 23:11, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

District Courts

I am glad someone is cleaning up the historical judge lists I started on the district court articles. I didn't get much further than the Northeast, but will get back to it eventually. My source for the lists is here. Welcome to the work on judges :). NoSeptember 19:50, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing. Further response on your talk page. Newyorkbrad 19:56, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Until DLJessup set those tables up for the SCOTUS and the circuit courts in 2005, even those articles had fairly simple lists. Sure we want to get to the full blown tables and it may be a better use of our time to avoid an intermediate step of having the simple lists, even though we still have districts that don't even have an article yet. Do whatever you're comfortable with, we're all volunteers after all :). Creating judicial biographies is something several of us have been working on, but very very slowly. I list the few I started on my user page. NoSeptember 20:27, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. It is much appreciated. Could you provide me with the link that gave you the information? Thanks again. — ERcheck (talk) 18:12, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Go to <www.thomas.gov> and enter the bill information. Newyorkbrad 18:22, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

• Thank you for the information. You made my day! Now, I wonder if this is a "first" for Misplaced Pages, I know that it is for me. Take care Tony the Marine 20:56, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Helpdesk and Misplaced Pages Mail

Hi Brad, just to clarify One more thing, to stop 'anonymous' and 'spam' email, you must give a correct email address in your preferences, and you have to recieve an email and click a link to confirm it is indeed yours, and working :) HTH --Deon555|talk|e|Review Me! :D 02:27, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

An excellent Idea. Let me know if you need anything --Deon555|talk|e|Review Me! :D 03:22, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
