Regarding my AMA request
I was not aware that Mujeerkhan had put up a parallel one. Can we discuss the dispute in one place?Hkelkar 12:06, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
??
Kindly assume good faith of users. There is no need to take a simple, honest, and immediately reverted mistake on an AMA page and charge me with possibly being a Sock Puppet. Your entry to my user talk page User_talk:CyberAnth#.3F.3F makes me wonder if I have enocountered what User:Captain_Jackson did. I hope not. Peace. CyberAnth 05:11, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks for quickly and fully resolving this with me. CyberAnth 03:55, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your Message
It's really helpfull. --Marwatt 11:24, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
on being 'vague'
Being vague has it's time and place, but an encyclopedia isn't that time or place. If you read the article you could see that only one feature of OS X is being criticized; saying 'some' isn't being vague, it's a distortion of the truth. Big difference. Duke53 | Talk 22:27, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- If and when other criticisms come to light then the article can be changed; as for now, it simply is not factual. Wikipedia should strive to be better than that. Duke53 | Talk 23:11, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: AMA request on "Richard Kiley" vandalism
While the vandal appears to have grown bored with his game, and the spurious reference to "Requiem for a Martian" has not reappeared, I'm not quite ready to close the case. Maybe in a week.
I noticed that the "Columbus Day" article has a lock against modification by anonymous or new users. If the problem with the Kiley article reappears, that might be the solution, as it would force the vandal out of hiding. Whom would I contact about that? -- JHHL "Hbquikcomjamesl"
GUS to UM
At the end of the day, I think it's been a good thing. It's much less confusing to people who stumble across it. It's also more expressive of what the "solution" actually is focused on. And it made some disgruntled people happy at a very low cost. The discussion from this point forward can be more narrowly focused on the "what to migrate" and "how to migrate" questions, rather than on whether migration makes sense. At the same time, I do support efforts to come up with an official policy, but am not hopeful that there can be consensus because the spectrum in the essay is almost fully populated, so you get something like the Knesset trying to agree on what to do with/for/about the Arabs. --NThurston 13:35, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
User:24.81.238.254 vandalism of Inter-A
Hello, Royalguard11. I see we are both giving warnings to this vandal. Shall we give him a free run of trashing this little article, or is it important enough to notify WP:AIV? The IP has only been used to mess up this one article. Thirteen edits in about an hour. EdJohnston 05:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Wow, quick response
Thank you very much for the quick response. I read the WP:3O page that you linked but it says that it is for disputes between only two editors. This is why I did not believe this was the proper route to take. If it's alright with you i'd like to send you some Email to discuss this at greater length so that I do not have to log into Wikipedia everytime. Thanks again for the quick response!Bagginator 07:01, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks; More Help Needed Ha
Hey I was trying to align my userboxes on my userpage (I'm using your page as a template) and I can't get the boxes to be all the way on the right side. Instead, they end up staggered in the middle of the page (sort of). Check out my userpage so you may understand. What am I doing wrong? (I've gotta go get some sleep now, so you won't know if I understand or see a change till tomorrow night most likely) -Cooter285 05:59, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- Welp I figured it out on my own...thanks for the help earlier! -Cooter285 20:35, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks a bunch
I love coming to Wikipedia and knowing I can get help from knowledgeable people. Thanks again! State Alchemist 16:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
My userboxes thingie...
Hey I followed your advice, and I just wanted to ask you to visit my User page, and click on the sub page that says My created userboxes, so that you can check if I did them right, if you have the time that is..... Y muchas gracias for all your help! You rock dude! Leave a message for me on my talk page when you see it. ¡Adios! Kyo cat 03:29, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

AMA case
Hello there! Thank you for helping me out -- I'm a needy newbie ;-) I have one very basic question: Do I have to to represent my 'client's' side of the argument only, or can I find a happy medium to make both parties agree? I'm just wondering, because the case I'm working on now might actually be better of with the the solution my client doesn't want. I can argue his case, but should my personal opinion come into this? Or would finding a mutual solution be more the job of the Mediation Committee? Thanks in advance!— Editor at Large(speak) 16:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Great, thank you for the info. It seems the user in my case has had a change of heart: he appears to have decided to let it go! And yes, I understand why you don't use 'client': I just wasn't sure what term you use instead.
Thanks again for the help!— Editor at Large(speak) 02:58, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!! That really helped with the subtitles. And the Roman Catholic box is fine where it is. In fact, it's actually in a better place right now!--EdI'm lonely, talk to me contribs 23:04, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank You! :)
Thank you :) Stealth7 05:27, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
AMA
- Yes, sorry about the double message. I was looking through who had edited the members page to look for new members. Since you hadn't had any proper welcome, I thought I'd give you one (even though how late we are). The talk page is, well, not well monitered and almost never used by advocates. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk) 23:28, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
No worries. Thanks for the welcome note, even if it's a bit late. Best, Firsfron of Ronchester 03:23, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia for EMR
I was out of town and then i was sick over the last few weeks, so I was unable to respond to the case I opened for undeleting the EMR wikipedia. I would still like to do that, but I'm not clear at all who to go about doing it. We feel that it's appropriate for Wikipedia, just like Marathon is, because it has it's own unique world and storyline, complete with characters, weapons, and more. We would really like to see it brought back. What do I need to do?
Thanks, Bill —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Donmerlin (talk • contribs).

Thank you for your support on my RFA, which closed successfully yesterday with a result of (18/16/8). I'd like to let you know that I won't be running for adminship again, until I am nominated, rather than nominating myself again. Thanks for your support, Deon. — Deon555talkReview 22:49, 2 November 2006 (UTC) |
further help with image
Well the name of the image is MSflower.jpg but what I don't understand is how that image is supposed to get from the website it's hosted on to the wikipedia site unless I put in the address somewhere. Can you help me with that? Sorry for the trouble; I'm a complete newbie. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ElentariAchaea (talk • contribs).

My edit to natural selection
I didnt make any vandalism on the natural selection article. All I did was add the weasel word template. I forgot how to add it so it took me a few times to get it right. Please think before you warn. My first try was weaselwords, then wesael words, but the correct tempelate was weasel. Seing the word weasel should have been a signal to this. 69.22.216.252 02:28, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
RE:Canadian identity
If you thought that I had asked you not to edit the article, then I guess I wasn't clear. It's okay if your editing the article, heck we probably could use someone who doesn't live in Canada to copyedit the thing. It's sometimes hard to separate one's self from what's POV and what's not when you live there. If there's more editorials, keep removing! As a Canadian, I find it harder to separate editorials/facts/opinions/beliefs. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 03:26, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
-
- Oh, no, I didn't take anything negative from what you said. I just didn't want to seem pushy about editing a Canadian article considering that I am American. I've spent hours on the Anti-Americanism article and I guess I have my guard up. haha
- I will say that I think the Canadian article would be much more professional and celebratory of Canadians if it just focused on Canada and all its glory and just pretend for the moment the US is not there! ;o)
- Are you really a RoyalGuard? (I hope I posted this in the right place, I am a newbie)
- Thanks for letting me know. I don't want to step on any toes Sugplumxx 04:03, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

AMA
Sorry, Royalguard11, yes it was me, I must have accidentally logged out or something. Not sure. But the AMA offers some fnatasic offortunities and is a worth cause to dedicate time to. So, will you have me? 203.10.76.44 06:17, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- Damn, again. Ok, I'm back in now. Dfrg.msc 1 . 2 . 3 06:23, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thankyou for your warm welcome, I'll strive to do my best and I will help as much as I can. I must apologize first, about the lateness of my response, my talk page is a little bit flooded of late. Thanks, Dfrg.msc 1 . 2 . 3 05:46, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, I tried to get a case, by going to WP:AMARQ, but I was asked to provide the answers to the dispute and users involved, to maintain a neutral POV, I would like to just join and ongoing case, do I need to "find" a dispute or is there a list, or can I get some one to assign me one? Thanks, Dfrg.msc 1 . 2 . 3
re: Meeting Soon?
We've got a number of topics to discuss at Wikipedia:AMA Meeting (suggested topics). Maybe it's time for another meeting? It's been a few months. Maybe a bump to all advocates will energize us again. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk) 01:09, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
- Indeed, we are long overdue for a meeting. We should first go over meeting topics to see what we need to focus on, prep the meeting page by posting introductory blurbs like last time, and then start gathering together everyone's attention. :-) אמר Steve Caruso (desk/AMA) 17:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Hi Royalguard, and thanks for your participation at the recent RfA, which did not succeed. For those of you who expressed their support, your kind words and your trust are sincerely appreciated. For those who were opposed --especially those who offered their constructive criticism-- please accept this message as assurance that equally sincere efforts, aimed at enhancing the quality and accuracy of representations within the Wikipedia, will continue. Striving for improved collaboration and consensus will also continue, with all of your insights in mind, while applying NPOV ideals as fairly and reasonably as possible.

Radio Blagon
Hi, I saw you participated in pages related to radio. I just wanted a little bit of help to correct an article I've tried to translate from French. It's about a French independent Internet radio called Radio Blagon. If you have a bit of time to have a look at the grammar, the spelling and the general style of this article, that would be great.

Thanks for your help. :) Mike423 23:13, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your input!
Thank you for taking part in my RfA. The RfA was not successful, mostly because I did a pretty bad job of presenting myself. I'll run again sometime in the next few months, in the hopes that some will reconsider.
In the meantime, one of the projects I'm working on is A Wikimedia Administrator's Handbook. This is a wikibook how-to guide intended to help new administrators learn the ropes, as well as to simply "demystify" what adminship entails. If you are an administrator, please help out with writing it, particularly on the technical aspects of the tools. Both administrators and non-administrators are welcome to help link in and sort all of the various policies regarding the use of these tools on wikipedia in particular (as well as other projects: for example, I have almost no experience with how things work on wiktionary or wikinews). Users who are neither familiar with policy or the sysop tools could be of great help by asking questions about anything that's unclear. The goal is to get everything together in one place, with a narrative form designed to anticipate the reader's next question.
A second project, related but not entailed, is a book on wikimedia in general, with a history of how various policies evolved over time, interesting trivia (e.g., what the heck was "wikimoney" about?), and a history of how the wikimedia foundation itself came about and the larger issues that occurred during its history (such as the infamous "Spanish Fork").
Again, thanks for your input on the RfA, and thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide for the handbook. --SB_Johnny|talk|books 14:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
You told me to leave you a tag or something so you know when to respnd, what is this and how do I do this?--Witeandnerdy 22:54, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
What does that have to do with my question or tagging?--Witeandnerdy 23:20, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hkelkar case
Hi Royalguard11 - just posting here for posterity (after our conversation on IRC) - I'll be happy to take the Hkelkar case later in the week or next week, but as you suggested, I think it would be nice to have another advocate working on it - it may need a fresh pair of eyes! Also, I like the nav bar! Martinp23 07:46, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Unconstructive edits?
Hi. You left a message on my talk page today about posting "unconstructive edits". From my edit history, I only made one edit today, which was to revert Quebec to the previous version, as it was entirely blank, and just a stub notice when I visited it earlier today. If I violated the three-revert rule, I apologize for that, but can't see what other rule I may have violated by doing this. Please help me out here.

RfA Thanks

I'd like to express my huge thanks to you, Royalguard11, for your support in my recent RfA, which closed with 100% support at 71/0/1. Needless to say, I am very suprised at the huge levels of support I've seen on my RfA, and at the fact that I only had give three answers, unlike many other nominees who have had many, many more questions! I'll be careful with my use of the tools, and invite you to tell me off if I do something wrong! Thanks, Martinp23 14:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC) |
AMA
Thanks for the welcome :) I've read the background to the case, and would be willing to take it on so long as the user knows what he wants from advocacy, so am awaiting his reply. Should I change it to "open" at this point, or wait until I get a response. Thanks. Trebor 21:39, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

A week ago I nominated myself, hoping to be able to help Wikipedia as an administrator as much as a WikiGnome. I am very glad many others shared my thoughts, including you. Thank you for your trust! Be sure I will use these tools to protect and prevent and not to harass or punish. Should you feel I am overreacting, pat me so that I can correct myself. Thanks again, I will try hard not to disappoint you! ReyBrujo 23:02, 18 November 2006 (UTC) |

Thank you very much for reverting vandalism on my userpage a few times. That vandal was, ironically, angry because I warned him about vandalism. -- FaerieInGrey 01:13, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Don't worry about it
Don't worry about vandal User:68.7.67.96 - he has been placing many false vandalism notices on Wikipedians who disagree with him (including myself).
