[edit] re: recent comments

Not at all, I understand. I shall censor you with extreme prejudice in future :) riana_dzasta 02:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Neid zu fühlen ist menschlich, Schadenfreude zu genießen köstlich. riana_dzasta 11:54, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re:CSCWEM

I understand that he has been a wonderful editor and admin in the past, present and he will be in the future. But I opposed him for ArbCom because he is simply too new to Wikipedia in the area of making major decisions. I trust him too, but most of his work on Wikipedia is vandal-fighting and AFD votes, edits anyone can do, except he does at a fast-pace to clear out backlog. It just seems to me that he's not the right guy for ArbCom. I don't vote support unless I'm 100% sure that I know that person is right for the position (only exception to that is moral supports). semper fi — Moe 21:37, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding :) semper fi — Moe 22:33, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding a user talk comment

This kind of edits are not really helpful. No matter what a vandal did, try not to sunk as much as they do. Thanks. -- ReyBrujo 21:38, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Civility is welcomed, even if you think it is not necessary. Thus, I suggest you to reword your comments when dealing with vandals. If necessary, use one of the warning templates instead of writing the comments yourself. Thanks. -- ReyBrujo 22:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
I was certainly civil to you, and to the vandal. And, if you'll notice, I use warning templates quite a lot (for somebody who doesn't go running around looking for vandalism). In this case, we weren't talking about a piece of self-serving graffiti. This "vandal," while they surely did "vandalize" the article, did it in such a way as to amuse at least a few of us. Clearly, as I also stated in my comment to that user, they aren't some casual vandal either. And so, I thanked them. It may not have occurred to yourself, but I frequently get it in my head to do that sort of thing. I generally have more self restraint than that, but I do admire the initiative and sense of humor in an individual who can pull that off. ... aa:talk 22:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for voting

Thank you for voting in my RfA which at 51/20/6 unfortunately did not achieve consensus. In closing the nomination, Essjay remarked that it was one of the better discussed RfAs seen recently and I would like to thank you and all others who chose to vote for making it as such. It was extremely humbling to see the large number of support votes, and the number of oppose votes and comments will help me to become stronger. I hope to run again for adminship soon. Thank you all once more. Wikiwoohoo 20:09, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Random drive-by info

There was a previous ARBCOM case involving ED. Basically, it is considered an attack site, and no material from ED or links to ED are allowed. - Crockspot 00:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

That is correct. It is enforced. Please find something less dramatic. Fred Bauder 00:29, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tesla

Hey, maybe you Americans missed the anniversary, but here in Croatia, I doubt that there's a single person who doesn't know that "Godina je Tesle" (trns. "It's the year of Tesla"). There are posters and jumbo billboards all over Croatia. Documentaries on TV, special exhibits, etc... Oh, and the classic argument "is he Croatian or Serbian" has intensified, and has been brought into the limelight (again). Nothing new in that department though. We still think one thing, they think the other. Debates on TV talk shows, historians of both sides arguing... immature, I agree.

My fellow countrymen, heh... -- xompanthy 13:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
