VfU copyedit

Nice work on VfU. - Tεxτurε 20:27, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you, Texture (there's a sentence I never thought I'd say!). Tony's placing on that page a copy of the central tenets of the Undeletion policy was an excellent idea. However, I'm not sure I agree with some of the interpretations being made on the Talk page. Will probably post a bit later. Best—encephalonὲγκέφαλον  20:34, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Reply: You said that Earth will be destroyed by the increasing heat of the sun. You must be and athiest. I find your information interesting (Like the big bang theory).— Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.47.26.123 (talk • contribs) , at 01:34, 2005 September 16 (UTC)

Ah. You must refer to the quotation on my User page. It's not I who said that, it was a wikipedian who was in a discussion elsewhere. I actually found it linked from another editor's page; I thought it was funny. As to the Sun, cosmologists predict that in about 4 billion years it will become a red giant as its hydrogen fuel core is consumed and exhausted. It will begin to expand, and it is thought this expansion will make the continued existence of Earth rather unlikely. I'm not a cosmologist, so you must forgive me if I'm unable to give you a better description. By the way, do you think you could sign your posts when you make them? You do it by placing four tildes at the end, like so: ~~~~ Best—encephalonὲγκέφαλον  01:55, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Harry Potter trolling

You're right, I saw it on Misplaced Pages:Votes for undeletion and thought the AfD notice was leftover from the previous nomination, not a new listing. Unfortunately, I think this is a situation where adherence to process gets in the way of the best solution, as I thought my edit was a pretty good compromise. --Michael Snow 21:36, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

I think it's not an unreasonable solution, Michael, you're right. But I do think we should be especially careful to let the process take its course for this particular article and AFD. It has been quite contentious, and sparked extensive discussions on related issues in VfU, the VfU talk page, the Undeletion policy page and Talk page, the second AfD's Talk page... it's really something that might be best to just let flow along, or the whole process might get repeated again in a second VfU and third AfD, and I don't think the community will be the better for that. Of course, I completely understand that you'd redirected without any knowledge of the second AfD.—encephalonὲγκέφαλον 22:17, 16 September 2005 (UTC) Ref AfD1, AfD2, Rv.

I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for your support on my RfA, and also for using greek letters in your signature, which I think just looks really cool. I'll try my best to live up to the trust you've shown in me. Thanks, Nandesuka 00:38, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you

Hello, I thank you for your support to my adminship, and I am sure that we shall be around contributing and building the encyclopedia. I will surely keep the confidence reposed in me. --Bhadani 09:25, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Desysopsing inactive admins

Dia duit a chara, Encephalon, haven't seen you in a while, and I hope you're well. Thought you might be interested in this: Misplaced Pages:Desysopsing inactive admins (older threads here and the newer one, here). Seemed like something right up your alley. --Blackcap | talk 16:11, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

'Lo, it's me, the Central Scrutinizer, again... take a gander at this 'un too. --Blackcap | talk 16:54, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, Blackcap. Say, you're back sooner than expected—trip postponed?—encephalonεγκέφαλον 19:07, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Yeah. There was an extremely sudden change: after being in the mountains for 12 very intense hours, I quit my job and came back home to San Francisco. There was a fight and threats from one of the other men who live up there, not to mention that my employer forgot to give me any refrigeration and didn't have any water for me. I figured that I'd rather be in a place where I could sleep well and have an employer who cared enough about his employees to give them some kind of food storage and drinking water, so I left. I had been having problems up there before, and got into a pretty big fight with him (the employer) in July, so I counted this as the last straw. --Blackcap | talk 19:35, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
