[edit] Re: "That's a mighty impressive piece of prose"

FYI: Waya sahoni has now deleted the RfAR text you commented on, so your comment appears to refer to nothing. —Steve Summit (talk) 04:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

He seems to do that a lot. I'll strike out the part that doesn't apply. Thanks. --BWD ^(talk) 04:49, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA state flag SVG

Thanks for your comment. I was trying to speed along the conversion from flag PNGs to SVGs. I'm aware that the colors looks a wee bit funky. As we speak, I'm trying to fix the color once I find the GA state specs. - Thanks, Hoshie | 10:32, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Successful RfA

Thanks for your support on my recent RfA, which I am pleased to say passed with a final tally of 80/1/1. If you ever need any help, or if I mess something up as an admin, please let me know.

[edit] I'm an admin now!!

Thanks for voting on my RFA and helping me become an admin. The final tally was 108-0-1 (putting me on the WP:100 list). I hope to do my best in upholding the integrity of Wikipedia. Thanks again, Gator (talk) 13:25, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you for your support in my RfA.

Sadly, my RfA failed (on my birthday out of all days!), mainly due to it's closeness to the previous one. I hope that in any future RfAs I'll have your support!

Nonetheless, if I can do anything for you don't hesitate to ask me.

Have a nice St Patrick's Day!

[edit] My RFA withdrawal :(

Hello BWD, it is my apologies to bring you that I've withdrawn my RFA. Due to the lack of experience, I would go under admin coaching first before trying again later. I would thank you for your vote in this RFA whether you voted support, oppose or neutral for me. I appericiate your comments (if you do have) you made and I hope to see you here in future. --Ter e nc e Ong 05:56, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD, PROD'ing, and speedy deletions.

Hello. I agree, the most efficient way to remove two-liner articles is to propose them for speedy deletes. However, it is my experience that authors who are really attached to their subject (especially in the case of a guy who writes about a non-notable wrestling league and then spams every wrestler he can think of) they will remove PROD and speedy tags. AfD ensures they get deleted. Ifnord 19:43, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

An admin who sees that speedy candidate will reject it out of hand because an AfD has been opened on it. It's best to first mark it as speedy and then take it to AfD if that fails or if there is a dispute with the original author. --BWD ^(talk) 19:46, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Not quite. An admin may still delete it then simply close the AfD. It happens. Ifnord 19:47, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Ah, ok. Whatever works. Those articles will be deleted regardless of the method used. Have a nice day! --BWD ^(talk) 19:49, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Thanks BWD

Thanks for your recent support on my RfA which passed 91/0/0. If you ever need anything, feel free to leave me a message! Gflores ^Talk 05:52, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you so much for supporting me in my recent RfA, which passed with a final tally of 56/1/0. I thank you for your confidence in my abilities. If you ever need anything or find that I have made an error, please let me know on my talk page. — Scm83x ^{hook 'em} 21:06, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikigadugi.org

Following your involvement in the Waya Sahoni/Bookofsecrets debacle, I was wondering if you had taken a look at wikigadugi.org. Jeff and Donald have copied the entirety of the Wikipedia to Jeff's servers at merkeylaw. They are not redistributing the content under GNU and have stated that content from their pages may not end up on the Wikipedia. Take a look around the place and let me know what you think. Thanks again for the first vote of support on my RfA! — Scm83x ^{hook 'em} 09:46, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Who is "donald" ? --Vryl 09:50, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Donald is User:Bookofsecrets. — Scm83x ^{hook 'em} 09:54, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mass surveillance

Your "war was never declared" in that article was an excellent catch! Brainhell 22:42, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Georgia Move

As a past participant in the discussion on how to handle the Georgia pages, I thought you might be interested to know that there's a new attempt to reach consensus on the matter being addressed at Talk:Georgia (country)#Requested_Move_-_July_2006. Please come by and share your thoughts to help form a consensus. --Vengeful Cynic 04:14, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Happy first edit day!

Congratulations! It's been... 1.. 2.. 3.. ___^{(plug # in)} years since your very first edit! Happy First Edit Day, BWD! Have a f-a-n-tastic day and keep up the good work on Wikipedia!

Best of wishes, the Birthday Committee and myself! --lov e laughterlife♥^talk? 22:19, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Happy First Edit Day, BWD, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee, myself, and B e a rly 541! Congrats for staying with Wikipedia this long. Much too many people create new accounts, do a few minor edits, and just quit. Have a great day! --Randfan
