Thanks for your christmas greeting, hope you have a wonderful time in this season of good will :-) --TimPope 09:39, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Cheers, mate. You have a good one. I'll be waiting for the BitTorrent fairies to deliver my own Christmas Invasion. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 09:45, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

As will I... thanks for the Christmas wishes, Sean, and a Merry Christmas to all of you at home! —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 15:35, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Happy Festivus and Merry Christmas Mr Black, I am very impressed with the work you have been doing keeping the Festivus article up to date. Inic 20:54, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] compromise?

What compromise? I never heard, ever, from DreamGuy, and I have appeared on hispages often.

WHO are you?

[edit] norse

Hey, that sounds like fun! I'll take a look around. By the way, I really dig the tables used in the "Cast" section on the main Oh My Goddess! article. I may have to swipe that to use on some of the Transformers (toyline) articles I'm working on.--Sean|Black 02:20, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

You can also use Template:Oh My Goddess Infobox-Generic infobox for character and episode pages. --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 13:56, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I want this jerk blocked for vandalism

(once again reverting to last good version -- Beckford's claims that I am not allowed to edit are ridiculous, especially as he is here only to push POV and promote himself and his alleged expert status)

This war will go on forever. He is simply a jerk.

[edit] Wishes

I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. --Bhadani 17:07, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

• And a (slightly belated) Merry Christmas to you, too! (I was offline yesterday so just got your message). I'm looking forward to seeing The Christmas Invasion tonight, too. I have my fingers crossed that the CBC might be really nice and stick on the Children in Need interlude as a bonus. I guess we'll see (I'm out of town for the holidays so I'm only online whenever I stumble across an Internet cafe). Cheers! 23skidoo 15:54, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Just want to clarify something

Hi, Sean. (Do you really not use the fada? It shocks my Irish blood not to write Seán!) I just want to clarify something I wrote about Chooserr being harassed. I posted a message here, mentioning that "on three occasions, when he left a message on my talk page, other people who would certainly not have had my talk page on their watchlists followed him with comments." You were one of the three people, but I did not find it at all offensive. I was offended by this, followed by this, which seemed to me to be a clear case of wiki-stalking, especially since the removal of the brackets was harmless. I do think, however, that it's perfectly appropriate for an administrator to look occasionally at his contribs, as he is a very controversial editor, and clearly has problems with NPOV. (In fact, I take a peep at his contributions occasionally myself!) I'm just not happy with someone abusing him and making snide remarks, and following him around putting a speedy delete tag on something that he has just started,[1] (which is clearly not an appropriate Speedy Delete candidate, and I feel that although Chooserr has certainly caused disruption, he must think he has been treated very unfairly, since those who abuse him are not blocked. I think also he is rather naive. Consider how he went up for adminship when he was very new and had only about a hundred edits, and think of the way when he's blocked he posts all those messages saying that he likes Wikipedia. (Gosh, I wouldn't like Wikipedia if I were treated the way he is!) He's in the middle of his seventh block at the moment, I think! Anyway, I just wanted to clarify that my remark was not in any way aimed at you! Hope you had a nice Christmas. Cheers. AnnH ^(talk) 17:04, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi Sean, thanks for your reply. I have study to catch up with, so I'm going on a wiki-reduction which will gradually turn into a wiki-break until the middle of January. However, I promised Chooserr that I would watch out for attacks directed at him (as I'm sure it must seem very unfair to him that he's punished so often while those who taunt him are at most mildly rebuked). I told him also that I'd ask some other admins to keep an eye out for any nastiness while I'm on my wiki-break, so that's why I'm turning to you. I know that although you've blocked him in the past, you've treated him courteously and have tried to talk to him rather than sneering at him, so I'd be glad if you could monitor the situation. In my view, the worst offender by far is Aolanaonwaswronglyaccused, who seems not to have contributed very recently. If you get time – and I don't blame you if you don't, as the section is very long – you might take a look at the discussion on AN/I, especially the longish comment made by GTBacchus. Thanks. AnnH ^(talk) 12:24, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

P.S. He agreed to let me remove from his user page the list of Wikipedians to watch. AnnH ^(talk) 12:33, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] More stuff to do

Once again, thank you. The links realy helped, although I already had gone through some of them. Now, I want to do more stuff, such as change font and letter coloring. Where could I find this information?--Wookiebaca 00:24, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

P.S. Another thing that I need- a specific list of all the unknown problems I will encounter. Just Joking! But a boss did actualy say that. And another boss said this: "This project is so important we must not let anything more important get in its way". :-] and lol-ing.

[edit] 75 minutes

Yes, I figured that out once I traced the IP to a Toronto ISP. :) --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 08:39, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] OSJ

Hi Sean Black. Could you take a look again at OSJ's user page. Could you also see my argument against him at the The noticeboard under the heading, Hey look, Sock Puppets for a message he left me. If you could be as kind as to do something about this guy. Thanks. SWD316 ^{talk to me} 23:43, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza elections

Thanks for voting for me in the Esperanza elections. I've been appointed to the Advisory Committee, thanks to your show of confidence in me. I'll do my best to make you proud, but please feel free to ask me for help at any time or to give me tips as to what you would like to do. Thanks for being an active member of Esperanza! I'll see you around. Titoxd^{(?!? - help us)} 00:34, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] reverted member addition to WikiProject

Hey, Sean. I noticed that you reverted an anon's addition of User:Reconstruct-a-Rill inc. to the Doctor Who WikiProject. I understand why you did (since it's usual to add only your own name to a project list), but if you look at the anon's contributions I think it's at least probable that the anon is Reconstruct-a-Rill, just not signed in for some reason. Do you want to leave a note at Reconstruct-a-Rill and/or the anon's talk pages, explaining why you removed the name? I'd do it, but I'd be assuming your reasons and I think it would be better coming from you.

Hope you have a happy new year! —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 02:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] re: Adminliness

I've just got a chance to stop in before I head off and got your message. Sean, thanks so much! I'm honored and will willingly accept once I return. Just give me a month or so after I'm back to return to the wiki-world, and I'll certainly take you up on your very kind offer. Thank you so much, I'm touched. Blackcap (talk) 02:11, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

[edit] Post scripta

Quoth Sean|Black 02:11, 31 December 2005:
P.S. You should archive this talk page.

Yeah, I know — I'm planning to do it tomorrow night so I can simply label the archive "2005". A bit anal, I know, but I probably wouldn't be here if I weren't. :^)

P.S.S. I want to nominate somebody for adminship—interested?

What, in becoming an admin myself? Nah, I don't think so. I was an admin for a while at the OG forums, and I didn't enjoy myself as much there as I did when I was just a prolific poster. I think that for the moment, I'll remain a common-or-garden variety Wikipedian. But thanks for the offer! —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:09, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I'll keep that in mind. Again, thanks for the thought. :^) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:18, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Flattery will get you nowhere

Why does this happen over and over again? The moment I have the full account of what Zoe did all created and laid out where it belongs, someone like you resorts to name-calling erases the record? It is a sign of weakness in you. It is not very attractive. -- Emact 05:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I am sure that doing the block made you feel very wise and powerful. -- 69.236.110.143 06:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I am big Doctor Who fan.

Hello Sean,

Thankyou for allowing me to join your every expanding encyclopedia. Like yourself, I am a huge Doctor Who fan...and I've only seen the series that came out this year and I'm mad about it. I was hyper when I first saw a Dalek and I liked the Autons, Slitheen and Reapers as well. I cannot wait until next year when the next series comes out. It will be the first time I see the Cybermen, and original characters from the show (Sarah Jane and K9). David Tennant is a great person to play Doctor, but I do find Rose a bit annoying sometimes. I was terrified of the Gasmask Aliens and had nightmares of them for about two weeks! I'm sure the next series and following ones will be awesome.

Nice meeting you,

Evilgidgit

PS: I am not actually evil, I just like the name.

PSS: Could you check the Pokemon Stadium topic. I recently updated it with info on the mini-games and I need your approval and to know what needs to be changed.

PSSS: I love Wikipedia!

[edit] next steps in a ArbCom

Hello. I thank you for your welcome when I subscribe to wiki. The page about "1948 war" until decision of the arbitrary commission. I have a question : what are next steps for this commission ? Thank yoiu. Christophe Greffe 17:36, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

NB : I don't have found words to make fun but will found for next time ;). Je peux toujours essayer en français éventuellement...

And now, do we send UN forces to enforce a solution ? Not easy when the security council doesn't seem to agree being involved... Christophe Greffe 14:13, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] North American Animals Page?

Hello again. I was wondering if there was a article on the animals in North America. I see there is one on birds, but what about the ground and water creatures?

Thanks again,

[edit] Recategorizing Big Finish

Hey, Sean. Looks like you're going ahead and recategorizing the Big Finish audios. Want a hand? If so, how are you going about it (so that I don't step on your toes) — by Doctor, or in the order the audios are in at Category:Doctor Who audio plays? Finally, do we want to specify Big Finish in the category description? That would exclude Slipback from Category:Sixth Doctor audio plays and Death Comes to Time from Category:Seventh Doctor audio plays (which may or may not be appropriate). —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:37, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmm... my inclination would be to remove "Big Finish" at least from the 6th and 7th Doc categories. And since it looks like you're working on Colin now, I'll get started on the Eighth Doctor so I don't get in your way. :) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:52, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I think we got them all, unless we want to create Category:Third Doctor audio dramas (or radio dramas?) for The Paradise of Death and The Ghosts of N-Space. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 07:01, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess you're right. (What's the lower size limit for categories?) Speaking of Zagreus, I'm not even sure it should be in the Fifth/Sixth/Seventh Doctor audio dramas categories. See Talk:Zagreus (Doctor Who audio). —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 07:11, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jeremiah Duggan

Sean, I reverted the edit at Jeremiah Duggan, not because I disagreed with you, but because the anon had introduced some awkward phrasing. Prior to the anon edit, it was simply that he "was killed after running down the middle of a busy road near Wiesbaden, Germany," which gets rid of the need for struck by cars/traffic. [2] Feel free to revert me if you disagree. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 20:30, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mfd slim virgin

Okay, you closed the slim virgin mfd. If I can be really picky, at mfd it's {{mfd top}} and {{mfd bottom}}. They're a sort of lilac, and every deletion process is supposed to have it's own colour. Still, ta for closing it, I was just pondering a similar move after sorting out a mess further down the page. Sorry to be a crusty old git and all. Like the notice at the top of the page too, might steal that. Steve block talk 20:51, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Heh, that's funny. I avoid afd like the plague nowadays, it does things to my browser. Ta for fixing that, and could I ask you a favour? The bottom three debates at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion#2005-12-27 need closing but I nommed them soI don't feel right closing them Would you mind closing them, or at least the bottom two, they're pretty straight forward. Steve block talk 21:14, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Sweet, cheers. I'll regret saying this, but I owe you one. :)Steve block talk 21:43, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rfa thanks

Hello Sean. Thank you for supporting my Rfa! :) I will try my best to be a good administrator. Please ask me if you need any help. --a.n.o.n.y.m t 17:43, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reflections. Expressions of gratitude. Poetry. All for Sean Black

Mr. Black, I have never seen Kamen Rider, and yet other aspects of your userspace appeal to me so greatly. For example, your commitment to the morale and emotional wellbeing of Wikipedians. As an admin, I promise to conduct myself in such a way as will be good for morale of the big wikiteam. So thank you so much for your support of my RfA. I'm a little choked up right now...perhaps I should just rely on poetry to express what is in my trembling heart:

Roses are red
Violets are blue
All my base
Are belong to you

Thanky thanky, Babajobu 01:03, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:User against jews

I saw you speedied this. Would you also speedy Template:User against scientology as it is of the exact same brand? I guess I could say I'm really bothered by one being deleted and the other not (and I know it's not exactly your fault) but since I didn't want to prematurely delete the Scientology one I wouldn't have deleted the Judaism one so I can't exactly change midstream. See, the idea of us getting into the habit of judging what is a legitimate religion and what is not... is problematic. If nothing else at least comment on this for me. Thanks. gren グレン 12:35, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and be happy. :) gren グレン 12:36, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Important point: In most countries Scientology is not recognised as a religion nor a charitable organisation. And looking at articles like Office of Special Affairs, Rehabilitation Project Force (neo-Gulags) or Xenu you can see why. --Mistress Selina Kyle ^{(Α⇔Ω ¦ ⇒✉)} 12:44, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reverts to Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Kelly Martin?

Hi, I think you should not revert user:God of War's edits to Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Kelly Martin It's a valid comment. I would have reverted it back but prefer not to get into revert wars... thanks! ( PS I strongly prefer conversations to be in one place, so please answer here, I will be watching here) ++Lar: t/c 08:37, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't think people should be trying to stuff votes- the only reason he's even saying it is because his account is too new to vote.--Sean|Black 08:40, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

A point well taken! But, I suggest you point that out and leave it be. The community hasn't been reverting comments made in the older RFC pair in the past so it may give the appearance that you're picking on his comments. Hope that helps. (I'm impressed with how many people have expressed preference already... quite remarkable and good) ++Lar: t/c 09:12, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Maybe. If somebody wants to revert me, they're free to do it. --Sean|Black 09:18, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

OK, despite not wanting to revert, I did. And added a comment pointing out that it may not have been a necessary notification and might be perceived as vote soliciting. Hope that's OK. All the best. ++Lar: t/c 09:49, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that's fine.--Sean|Black 09:51, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ArbCom for arab-israeli conflicts

Hello Sean. ArbCom doesn't seem to take the affair in charge. No more arbitatror gives his mind. Whatever the reasons, what is foreseen by wikipedia when such a problem arises ? Do you have a suggestion ?

Christophe Greffe 15:42, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer and the info. Let's wait and see... Christophe Greffe 16:54, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NOES 2

Explain how all that was not needed? The tagline? If you are going to have a section devoted to the budget, the exectutive producers, the language, running time and other such tidbits then you should include the tagline as well.

Ok, well if you feel that they are not important enough for their own section (which I don't see why that would even be a problem, because it sections it away so that you know what it is) then you can put them all in the place you think they best belong, cause I added them to each movie.

[edit] Please refrain from making POV edits to my user page

I am tired of explaining this over and over again. That is why there is a notice on my user page. Stop vandalizing my user page. If you have a constructive edit, that is great, but I am tired of the POV edits to my user page. I have a right to my opinion, and you should know better than to edit when you have nothing to add. --Dschor 10:40, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Mistress Selina Kyle - indef block

Dear Sean: (I initially wrote this to Cryptic, but found out you were the original blocking admin from him) Regarding your indefinite block of this user - I agree this user's behaviour has been frequently unpleasant and out-of-line; undeniably, something has to done, although I'm not sure that an indefinite block is necessarily the best answer. Usually I am somewhat hesitant to dish out indefinite blocks on anyone (save for Willy on Wheels vandals and impostor accounts) simply because of the fact it is somewhat unwiki, and also because usually I am prepared to give users at least a second, if not a third, chance (with fairly long blocks in between). The other thing is that unilateral blocks given by admins tend to be unpopular amongst many users, regardless of the merits of the matter, where the arbcom hasn't ordered it. Personally I would advise perhaps changing that block to one month, or perhaps three - or, alternatively, removing the block entirely and sending it to arbitration. If the arbcom get involved, that would give more weight to the matter, and no potential allegations of unfair conduct could be levelled by users who disagree with the block. Just a suggestion, of course; your blocks are of course your own domain, and I absolutely will not tamper with it myself. All the best, --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 22:25, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MSK Unblocking

It was recently pointed out to me that I should contact you about my unblocking of Mistress Selina Kyle. My apologies for not doing so previously. My feeling is that while her behavior is in need of improvement, she's not at the point where an indefinite block is justified. Kelly Martin asserts that the user shares an IP with known vandals, but let us consider both that Kelly Martin is herself in conflict with the user (The whole Userbox purge), and there seems to be some discussion on MSK's talk page that while she does happen to come from an open proxy (and I'm not really well versed enough in Internet meanings to understand that, looks like I'll have to study up), that it's not neccessarily her choice to edit from that proxy and it's also possible that she simply happens to have the same IP as a vandal (ie the whole situation with AOL). I dont have a full understanding of that situation, but I don't think she's conclusively linked to other vandalism. This is not to say that I'm unable to be convinced that she should be banned, but so far I'm not seeing the evidence for it, and I am seeing the evidence of what is in my perception some rather heavy handed action from other Administrators, and I think there needs to be further dispute resolution procedures taken before she's indefinitely banned. I of course want to spend some time researching her case, and will be doing so. The idea behind a community banning is that a User is essentially banned if indefinitely blocked, and not one Administrator can be found that's willing to unblock. However, if there are Admins who oppose the block, then the Ban is disputed, and further dispute resolution is the appropriate course. That is why I chose to unblock her. I note that she has been re-blocked, so I'm not going to reverse that, but I wanted to express to you my opinion on that matter. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 01:04, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Personally, I believe she deserves fair trial, but I won't unblock for now. —Nightstallion (?) 06:55, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editing your user page

Might I suggest that you change this notice:

"Edit this page. Make it interesting. Do whatever you want- write an article about me, write a rant about the brilliance of Kamen Rider, whatever. It's up to you (just leave my ArbCom and Esperanza boxes, you can change anything else, really)."

If you do not want people to edit your user page freely, as I did, you should change your user page. I only made the edit because you effectively asked for it, after criticising User:Dschor to the extent of radically changing his user page, encouraging others to do the same, and writing on the Administrator's Noticeboard professing your right to do so.

Might I suggest simply that you change what you write on your user page to more correctly reflect what you are going to allow.

And please can you retract your false accusations about me as well. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 03:35, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
