[edit] Reply on my cadidancy
I my talk page you left some questions and criticism on my candidacy to the wikiboard, I have replied there but wish to also reply here for your convinience:
-
- # Yes, in the sense that I will take the responsibilities and tasks of the position seriously, as I do other volunteer engagements, both current and past, in my life. But one thing that does make me different formt he usual candidates is that I do not confuse this seriousness of task with a seirousness of personality. After all, wikis are fun. We must have fun. And fun can be had, in all seriousness, with all seriousness.
-
- # Presisely because I understand this fact behind the Wikimedia Foundation is because I raise that point. To date, the geogrpahical diversity of the board has been lacking. As a Puerto Rican raised in Puerto Rico by a mixed set of parents, I am keenly aware of the divide between the global south and the global north and live between the two cultures, such perspective I belive would be an asset.
-
- Now, this might seem shocking to you, but it at least elicited a reaction which can elicit a dialogue, and if this dialogue leads to your supporting a candidate who supports my views, or better, leads you to support me, then I think I would reach my objectives.--Cerejota 01:46, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

| I award this Barnstar to JHS for his awesome kindness. I needed something on Meta, and he got it immediately, and was kind. Other admins sadly when I've asked for things, haven't been as nice. Keep it up! Deon555 |

[edit] Election for sysop on Ukrainian wikipedia
Hi, Jon Harald. My name (is a little bit long :) ) is Vladyslav Savelo. I am candidate to become a sysop on Ukrainian Wikipedia. Election is closing on Monday (left only two days). I need to collect 70 % voices in order to be elected. Currently I have 65 %. I miss your vote. I ask you to vote for me. About myself: native Ukrainian, currently living in Portland, Oregon. Have a 5500 edits in Ukrainian Wikipedia, approximately 100 in Polish and English, a few in Bulgarian. My page is in Ukrainian Wikipedia. Sincerely thank you.
Almost forgot. The election page is here and you need to write this {{За}}.--Vladyslav Savelo 00:39, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, I don't know you, and I don't like this kind of fishing for votes. If I would vote at all, I would vote against. Jon Harald Søby 17:43, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you.--Vladyslav Savelo 16:51, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm a completely different Alastor Moody. Actually that username is just a joke for that I really never was a very close fan of HP. — Alastor Moody (T + C + U) 18:54, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Norwegian split infinitive
Hi Jon. I saw you deleted the link to the Norwegian split infinitive article on the grounds that it is on a different subject. Just for the interest and edification of those of us who don't read Norwegian could you possibly put a note on talk:Split infinitive explaining what it is about? Thanks. --Doric Loon 10:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Actualy, I was wrong. I followed a link to kløyvd infinitiv, which was a redirect to splittinfinitiv. Splittinfinitiv is the same as split infinitive, but kløyvd infinitiv is not. In other words, the redirect was wrong, not the interwikis, so I have reveretd myself. In case you were wondering, kløyvd infinitiv is a part of Norwegian dialectal studies, about whether infinitives end in -e or -a. Jon Harald Søby 11:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Ta! --Doric Loon 11:09, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
