[edit] Revision3 Studios

Hi. I noticed that you voted to keep the Systm article on Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Systm. Well, unfortunately, the article was deleted, and Systm was redirected to Kevin Rose. I recently created a new article for Revision3 Studios, the company that produces System and thebroken, and changed Systm to redirect there. Unfortunately, the Revision3 Studios article has now been nominated for deletion.

So, if you have a chance, please look at the Revision3 Studios article, and then go to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Revision3 Studios and vote to keep it. Thanks a lot, --taestell 16:59, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiMoney_accounts

No offense, but I had to remove your ψ20 on Wikipedia:WikiMoney_accounts because you have not yet reached 200 edits. We eagerly await your hitting that amount to recieve your wikis, if you would like to earn wikis in teh meantime, you can go to WP:Money to find other thigns to do to earn money without having 200 edits. McKay 18:31, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Yikes, people actually still patrol that page? :) -- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 04:28, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] whats a word for the person that a mentor mentors?

A jedi apprentice? Jedi6-(need help?) 04:22, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Good one!Steve-o 02:53, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocking school IP's

The proble with blocking schoolIP's is that they result in to much colateral damage. Most vandadlism is reverted within minutes, and if it gets to bad, we semi-protect the page so that new and IP users can not edit it. Thanks for notifying. KimvdLinde 23:49, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your VandalProof Application

Dear Buickid,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.1 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that unfortunately you do not yet meet the 250 mainspace edit minimum - however please try again soon. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 23:19, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

For participating in my insane project and surviving, here is a present! Enjoy! Linuxbeak (drop me a line) 01:31, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources? We don't need no stinking sources!

B -
Thanks for listening to me rant. Put a note on my talk page and we'll write something. - brenneman ^{L} 11:37, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About Xen

You left this note on my talk page. I'm responding on your talk page as well to make sure you notice I've answered.

"Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content (as you did on Xen (Half-Life). Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! Steve-o 11:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)"

I didn't wipe the entire article blank. It's still here. Your link doesn't work because you forgot the last bracket. ;) I did delete large parts of the article, though, that's right. But I had a good reason for that. See the bottom of the talk page about it. - Fyrius 11:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman

Why you reverted Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman page and what is meaning of this? --Spasage 09:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

		The Billington Barnstar
		I, Michael Billington, award you the Billington Barnstar for no good reason (and also so VandalKilla will feel annoyed that he hasn't got one). If you liked this barnstar, then please leave a message on My talk page so it looks like everyone likes me. MichaelBillington 07:16, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Test

Hi!--Steve-o 06:03, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] On Sea World

Be careful with that revert tool, mate. You reverted to a vandalised version, and also overwrote my test4 with a test3. –Dicty (T/C) 08:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] On Seth Green Article

You reverted a valid edit on the Seth Green article. Just wanted to let you know. Patrick925 18:29, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks so much for the support on my recent RfA, which I'm quite happy to announce has passed with a consensus of 67 supporting, 0 opposed and 0 neutral. Let me know at my talk page any time if I can help you with any admin-related tasks, or just if you have any comments on how I'm doing as an admin. Thanks! TheProject 21:36, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Cablemodem. Shadow1 15:28, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your support in my recent RfA!

		Thanks for contributing to my successful RfA!
		To the people who have supported my request: I appreciate the show of confidence in me and I hope I live up to your expectations! To the people who opposed the request: I'm certainly not ignoring the constructive criticism and advice you've offered. I thank you as well! ♥! ~Kylu (u|t) 02:29, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the support, CableModem! :D

[edit] Anti logbot on IRC

Hey, buickid. When you're free, or when you get this, send me a private message on IRC. It's about the progress of that Anti-Logbot I'm writing. Thanks! Shadow1 15:31, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

The timestamp format you asked for is "yyyy-MMM-dd hh*:mm*" (no quotes). Thanks again! Shadow1 19:07, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Election

The Election Officials are getting everything together to notify candidates of what they need to do in order to confirm thier information for the upcoming election. However, counsel has advised us that under Florida law (the WMF is Florida-based) Trustees must be at least 18 years of age in order to serve. Your userpage doesn't specify an age, and we hadn't added the age field when you listed yourself, but my reading of your information (specifically the reference to high school) suggests you may be under 18. Could you confirm back to me (my talk page here on en.wiki is fine) that you're at least 18 so I'll know before we start sending out requests for confirmation of identity?

[edit] What's a word for the person that a mentor mentors?

After much deliberation, I have concluded that you will now be known as "an apprentice", how's that? MichaelBillington 10:07, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GIen's RfA: Thank you!

Buickid for your Support! II feel truly humbled & honored by your support in my RfA, which closed at 90 / 5 / 0. Thank you! If you need me for anything, just say the word. For now however, just like Mr Potter here: My mop & I shall thwart all evil :) IThank you once again my friend. GIen

PS: YES YOU'RE RIGHT HARRY POTTER USES A BROOM! (BUT GOOD MOPS ARE HARD TO FIND!!)

[edit] Hey, there

I see you've gotten into a bit of a dispute with 70.135.108.251; the situation's unfortunately escalated a bit more than I'd like, so all I'll ask is that you continue to assume good faith, remain civil, and avoid biting to the best of your abilities. Thanks. The sooner we can get this situation calmed down, and start discussing things instead of flaming, the better. :) Luna Santin 10:59, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok cool. --CableModem 11:01, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

No problem. :) --Woohookitty^(meow) 11:06, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Thank you, fellow solid user, for your solid vote in my RFA. The results are solid: 95 to 1. I hope I can be a solid admin like I am a solid user!

He is/was fine. There was a state-wide power outgage, though – Gurch 03:12, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Weekly Episode 3

Hi, and thanks for offering to help with the Wikipedia Weekly podcast. Episode 2 will soon be recorded and release, and so we've started planning for Episode 3, to be recorded next Friday. If you'd like to be on the panel, or suggest any content for the show, feel free to edit that page with the details. Don't feel limited to the five places on the panel, either - there are two extra places available for alternate hosts, who would fill in if the others are unable to speak.

Thanks again for the offer of support, and see you soon. :) Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 11:33, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] #wikipedia ban

Are you the user CableModem on freenode IRC? If so, I'd like to know why I was banned from #wikipedia. Some people on #wikimedia suggested it might've been suspecion of public logging, but I don't know what would suggest I do that other than that I had been idle for a few hours... Debolaz 13:34, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

If I recall correctly, your "Real name" field of your IRC client was filled with "Killah Niggaz" or something to that sort. After all the spam and such that we get, I took it as a preventative measure. Please accept my apologies, it was with good intentions. I'd advise you to change that though, as it does look bad when you enter a channel. Let me know if you're stilled banned. --CableModem 02:46, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

While I do not expect this knowledge to be particulary usefull in the future, it may interest you to know that "Killa Hilla Niggas" is actually a rap song. Anyway, I'm back in now so thanks for getting this resolved. Debolaz 03:12, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Rad Explosion

The main drive belt died while I was on the road, causing the electrical system to go offline, including the water pump. The water inside the block and rad got very hot. I didn't realize what was going on and I was looking under the hood, and I guess the pressure from the heat got so bad that it blew up while I was leaning under the hood. Got my hands and head pretty good. Were I not wearing glasses at the time I probably would have had eye damage. I was lucky. Snickerdo 00:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bahnstah

		The Original Barnstar
		Community spirit is often overlooked, and it's great to have a place to take a break from all this vandalfighting, trollblocking business, every so often. Plus, there's gotta be some place to get out all that nonsense, or else it'd have to go on the wiki, and that'd be bad. For everything you've put into the IRC community, I proudly present you, Sir Modem, with this Original IRC Barnstar! Luna Santin 00:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A message from the ether

Hey there! We talked on IRC a long time ago, and I was supposed to help you out with Wikipedia, but then that dirty trickster, real life, dragged me into a dark alley and mugged me for loose change. :( Seriously though, I'm really glad to see that you've clearly gotten ahold of the ropes. Though I'm still a bit flakey these days, if you ever need anything, please feel free to stop by my talk page, not as a mentee, but as a fellow Wikipedian! Cheers and happy editting. :) -- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 06:29, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
