User talk:HighwayCello/Archive/5
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nonsense post (and something about archives to make it worthwhile)
I've managed to run across your talk page right after another archivization, and I felt the need to continue my trend of having the first message in the new section! I don't really have much to say, except that your archive descriptions crack me up, even if you're talking about something negative. It's very amusing. -- Natalya 22:26, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- I knew it wasn't unsigned, but I realized just in time that if I deleted one tilde it would sign my name, not yours. ;) -- Natalya 23:31, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
EWS23's RfA
Hi Highway! I was very happy to have your support at my request for adminship, as well as your positive comments on Wikipedia talk:Esperanza some time ago. It also brings a smile to my face whenever people take the time to call me Eric (as I make clear at the top of my user talk page) :o) . Thank you for that. Please, feel free to leave me a message if there's ever anything you feel I could be doing better. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 23:35, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Heh! Don't make me laugh... --Celestianpower háblame 22:16, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
CorbinSimpson's Request for Adminship
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
I saw your post on Natalya's user talk page, and so I decided to check it out. I read your concerns on the talk page, and I think I've come up with a solution that will please both sides. [1] (I have also placed a post on Talk:Super Smash Bros. Brawl.) Let me know what you think. :o) EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 01:19, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Glad to see that EWS23 has used his awesome skills to find a good compromise. :) -- Natalya 11:11, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Definitly still thinking and interested, definitly feeling more comfortable with the idea. -- Natalya 16:04, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Natalya's RFA
<attack style="personal">Who do you think you are?!!! Who gave you permission to nominate Natalya for adminship? You don't own Wikipedia, you know! I was supposed to be the nominator. You don't know who you're messing with! I won't take this lightly, Highway! You're are now officially off my Christmas list! How do you feel now? Do you still want to be the nominator? Yeah, that's what I thought! Next time, think twice before you nominate such a great user for adminship! I'll have my eye on you!</attack> --TantalumTelluride 19:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- You guys crack me up (I'm almost crying because I'm laughing so much)! -- Natalya 19:53, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Questions
Yep, sorry for the delay, I'm just finishing up the second one - wanted to mull over them to give the best answers. Can't be disapointing my nominator, now can I? :) -- Natalya 21:06, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Nurse Joy
When looking through Natalya's talk page, I saw the discussion about Nurse Joy and the AFD. It's not for Deletion review, as it is an editorial decision; you can expand the article at any time, and since the stub is not the same as the sub-stub that was nominated, the AFD does not necessarily apply. That said, if you expand it, expand it in a big chunk so it isn't re-reverted. Titoxd(?!? - help us) 22:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Glad this one was taken care of too (my talk page seems to be popular lately!) -- Natalya 23:10, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Re:Caption cleanup
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who cleans up after this guy. Thanks! Can you add it to WP:AIV for me? I'm not sure how to format it... -- RattleMan 23:58, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Music of Dominica
Thanks, the relisting was deliberate. It failed for three reasons, one of which I've addressed, the other two are not good article criteria. I agree with the failure of the first nomination (and thus it needs no review), and have, IMO, fixed the issue so that it now meets WP:WIAGA. More details are noted on the talk page. Tuf-Kat 14:59, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
- No problem, that's what I figured. I'm just stuck at home, sick, without a working car and waiting for a phone call, so I've got nothing to do but check my watchlist and see what I can do quickly and easily. Tuf-Kat 15:08, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
You are not alone...
...the last two FACs I nominated, I withdrew beacuse of the neagtivity there. Another featured article, that was successful was posted on FARCs without any notification. I don't really now you well, but I want you to know that you are not the only person frustrated with FACs and that I think it would be a shame not to be able to know you better because that frustration drove you away from wikipedia. I hope you will accept this cool refreshing glass of Southern Sweet Tea at right, and that you will feel better soon. -JCarriker 22:24, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
- I was actually coming regarding the HoboWars AfD to ask you to expand you comment (which right now is just a vote) into something larger per the Wikipedia:Guide_to_deletion#Discussion. However, I too have at times been concerned at the tone of FAC-land, so I'll instead mentally send some warm and fuzzy vibes your way. If you ever want help polishing an article, drop a note on my talk.

- Hey, sorry to see that you're stressed out. It might seem to you that "everyone hates me here. I mean hates." , but it's not the case. I'm quite new to Esperanza, but it was people like you, Natalya, EWS23, and JoanneB, and their nice, sensible nature that made me want to join and be a part of it. Whenever I see your edits they make sense to me, and it makes me happy to see a user like you.
-
- If you ever feel like you need to talk about stuff like this, I'm always here to listen. I know that Wikipedia can be a very, very lonely place sometimes, and that it often seems like no one cares, but there are users here who care about you. I hope you start to feel better soon.

Thank You
I just want to say thank you for adding an image that I uploaded to Minun. I Love Minun 11:57, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- Pokémon Galaxy wasn't a replacement for serebii.net. So to make it fair, we can wait till Pokémon Galaxy isn't ruined, and then we can have both links. Please write a message on my user page to show you have read this I Love Minun 12:01, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- Let me explain about Pokémon Galaxy. Its going to be really good, probably even as good as serebii.net. The reason of the ads is because of its hosted using a free host. It got ruined trying to install a program, read the page yourself (even though you won't be able to make ideas yet.) I know all about because I created it. I Love Minun 12:13, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks!
Thanks for the birthday wishes! The sunshine collector is a little random, but unique is good. :D I'm determined to cheer you up! Here are some bright and funny buses for you. -- Natalya 14:14, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- Sounds like you've got some good stuff going, which is fantastic. The birthday is going very awesomely, which is awesome. :) -- Natalya 20:56, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Reply
You asked what Template:UserLayout was. It creates a layout on user pages, but before people will able to use it, i'll have to email Wikipedia. If you like, I can tell you how to use it. Pleaseleave a note in my talk page. I Love Minun 14:28, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

You are welcome. Hopefully we can get Combusken to GA status... Alvin6226 15:22, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Question
How do we find out the kb/b size of an article? Alvin6226 15:57, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Pokemon Galaxy Again
I know why Pokemon Galaxycrashed your screen. You must have been looking at it when I was updating the javascript. I had put an onLoad="poweer_down(); function for the body tag in HTML. You must have went on before I activated the function so it din't work.
To test it, right click the below link, select Open link in new window, then test it to see if it ruins your window again.
I Love Minun 19:46, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
By the way, Pokemon Galaxy will have an extremely detailed walkthrough for every version of the Pokemon video games, a Pokemon anime guide and even an arcade, it will have a really cool layout and also music.

RE:Iloveminun
No problem. To settle this little dispute between one another, I would suggest a CheckUser. If he really has nothing to hide, he shouldn't have a problem with it. Cheers, and good luck with your situation with Iloveminun. DGX 20:40, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- Iloveminun: allowed to edit
- PokemonFan: indef blocked per CheckUser results
- Po132 and Minun132: Nothing, because they are inactive accounts
-
-
- Since it appears the other accounts are inactive, theres really nothing that can really be done unless they start editing again. Iloveminun shouldn't be blocked, he has made some useful contributions and usually the puppet master isn't blocked; just the puppets. But PokemonFan on the other case, should be blocked indefinantly per the CheckUser results. Hope this helps. If you would like, I will help wih your post on the admin's board if you like. DGX 07:09, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
-
-
-
- Ok, I'm back online, whenever your ready. But something new just struck me. I did look through Minun132's contributions and since he was only used to join the WikiProject, it's better to just leave him alone since the account doesn't appear to be active. If it starts editing again on something like tfd or the like, thats when it should be looked into again. I would just watchlist him for now.. The only real thing we need to report on WP:AN is Iloveminun and PokemonFan. DGX 13:34, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Replacing
Alvin6226 drops a bell. Which article are you talking about where a bunch of images have to be replaced? Alvin6226 01:12, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- You are going to have to be more specific. Alvin6226 19:13, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Adminship
Hey.. you, I was going through the admin archives and I checked your name and noticed you'd never been nominated at all for adminship. Rather than going out of my way and writing a nom, then you declining it, I thought I'd ask instead if you were interested. (I'm a good RfA streak recently, I nominated Natalya.. and got attacked for nominating such a great user.) I know we don't always see eye to eye, but I respect your decisions and I think you could do good with the admin. My only concern is that some people may find you slightly... aggressive? If you'd like to try anyway, drop me a bell. Cheers, Highway Rainbow Sneakers 22:23, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- Psst. Down here. ; ) Highway Rainbow Sneakers 22:31, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I saw it the first time. Well, I am interested, but indeed, I think I am likely too brusque for a most users, and I am still composing my answers to the nominee questions. A few weeks ago, I might have told you to proceed anyway, however, I am currently embroiled in a nasty edit war with User:Hyrule on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, as he insists we treat his fan site as a major media outlet and accept it as a source. I believe this would reflect badly on me were my conduct to be scrutinized at the moment. Perhaps in a month or so, when this has died down. You needn’t ask again. Regards, -- WikidSmaht (talk) 22:53, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- P.S.: I read a bit of Natalya’s RfA. You are too sensitive about Torchic.
Hate?!
Please rest assured that is not the case. No one hates you on Wikipedia, including myself. It's important to remember that we are all different; we think, act, and sound different, and therefore that can be the source of many positive as well as negative effects. We are all human, and everything happens for a reason, remember that. I want you to know if you want to discuss what is going on, you know where to find me. Good luck to you. --Pilot|guy 02:09, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments in Lar's RfA!

Hi there, and thank you for your supportive comments in my request for adminship! With a final tally of (109/5/1), I have been entrusted with adminship. It's been several weeks since the conclusion of the process, so hopefully you've had a chance to see me in action. Please let me know what you think! Thanks again, and I will do everything I can to justify the trust you've placed in me! ++Lar: t/c 03:25, 28 May 2006 (UTC) |
Adverts: Like The Beatles?... Like LEGO?... In a WikiProject that classifies?... Are you an accountable admin?... Got DYK?... |
Re : Torchic FAC
Celestianpower's Bulbasaur FAC did not went without contraversy, which even spilled over to his RfB. This may somewhat explain why you may have such a difficult time trying to push this one forward. Kirill Lokshin is an excellent editor, and I think he'll be more than happy to assist you in your FAC. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 14:32, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps the aftertaste over the Bulbasaur FAC hasn't gone away as a precedent, which in turn may have affect all other Pokemon-related FACs, perhaps explaining why someone actually told you to write another topic. - Mailer Diablo 14:40, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- Three is nothing, I have worked on a FAC that has failed its test five times, and still not is now. - Mailer Diablo 14:52, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'll have a look through later and let you know. Got some books/reading to clear. ;) - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 15:04, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- Apologies for the delayed reply. I did a quick glance through the FAC. Perhaps a secondary source may be like this : [2], you may wish to search along this line (i.e. non fan-sites). For the concern about having a Pokemon viewpoint, I think it is more of a request to have the prose be in layman's language. - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 12:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- At your discretion. A source is to back up lines on articles, where people would think "where did this come from". - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 13:08, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Iloveminun's sockpuppet
You're request on WP:AN was fulfilled by Septre. PokemonFan is now blocked and Iloveminun has been warned. Cheers! DGX 16:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

- Your welcome. But please don't feel embarrssed. I used to have an account before this one. LOL, a sock. ;-) But I left that account because of another user stalking me. I could take that anymore. Hope it doesn't happen with this account. ;-) DGX
- My first edit under an IP... hold on.. it was a long time ago...

I'll shortly be answering your question. Congrats on finishing all the sockpuppet business, and I really hope the FAC improves! Try not to stress out about it before it happens, at least. (Even if you know things will not go as well as planned). -- Natalya 22:13, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: Problem...
First! Stay calm. *peaceful thoughts* I'm guessing the anger stemmed from the sockpuppet buisness and the check user request. Don't let the personal insults get to you, just calmly state why you did what you did, and why you thought it was right. -- Natalya 23:22, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Blnguyen's RfA
Hello Highway Cello. Thank you for your support at my request for adminship which ended at the overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0), and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation. You can see me in action and observe what then happened as a result. If you need admin assistance, feel free to ask me. Naturally, if I make any procedural mistakes, feel free to point them out. I look forward to working with you in the future, hopefully as an admin. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 04:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC) |
