[edit] Your email

Hi, I received your email. It is interesting the IP is not even from your country. Would you like to seek some technical help? I would suggest you consult this matter on WP:AN. --BorgQueen 19:03, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Referencing

I read your comment on the Mahathir talk page. I think that you need to reference some of your statements which may be controversial and perhaps some statements that are not agreed upon can be discussed in the talk page. The Star's website has some articles on Mahathir.Wai Hong 16:55, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Thought you got to pay to access The Star's website? Anyway, those articles that I am referencing to are very long ago... in tzhe 1990s, before Wikipedia even started. Finding them is going to be very, very difficult, as I do not even know the exact date. --Terrancommander 17:54, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User talk: page

Thanks for letting me know about it; it's old news at this point, but thanks for looking out. Jayjg ^(talk) 00:06, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

No problem, just that those articles that guy has written are really racist, and I don't like racists. --Terrancommander 13:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Operation Summer Rains

Hi TerranCommander! Just wanted to let you know that I answered your question about other media sources at the Talk:Operation Summer Rains page. Tiamut 18:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll put them in sometime. --Terrancommander 15:23, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] beating the blocked vandal

Your warnings at User talk:202.79.179.227 are not only unneeded,as the anon has been blocked fro a week, but also practically irrelevant as theall refer to edits several days ago, before his previous block by user:Can't sleep, clown will eat me. Circeus 11:53, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Just so that others know that he has committed those wrongful edits. I thought it is policy for you to put the reason for the block, as well as link it to those articles for future reference? Also, I notice the lack of warnings on his page before the block, as well as the links to those he vandalised. Sorry if I caused any trouble though. --Terrancommander 11:55, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay, it just seemed a bit weird. Circeus 11:57, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Lol :D --Terrancommander 11:59, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Subst:'ing

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. — FireFox 10:46, 11 July '06

Sorry, too used to it, habit already. --202.156.6.54 11:58, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Eh 202.156.6.54 is me when I forget to sign in. -.- --Terrancommander 12:03, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Death to HCI

What? I thought TCHS at least had a legacy that won't be forgotten in less than 3 years??? Are you currently a TCHS student? -- Миборовский 20:07, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I meant in the future, not at present lol. :) --Terrancommander 09:33, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Real name

Can I know what's your real name? I'm a student from Raffles Institution, Secondary 2 Express. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.75.2.83 (talk • contribs) 18:10, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Who are you in the first place? Why you want to know also lol... Please sign up, don't use IP to talk. --Terrancommander 14:43, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your support!

Hey, that tally totally pwnzorx! --Terrancommander 14:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA thanks

Hello Terrancommander, and thank you for your support at my Request for Adminship, which succeeded with an overwhelming final count of (105/2/0). I was very pleased with the outpouring of kind words from the community that has now entrusted me with these tools, from the classroom, the lesson in human psychology and the international resource known as Wikipedia. The Free Encyclopedia. Please feel free to leave me plenty of requests, monitor my actions (through the admin desk on my userpage) and, if you find yourself in the mood, listen to some of what I do in real life. In any case, keep up the great work and have a fabulous day. Grandmasterka 05:49, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Well done! --Terrancommander 12:29, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Misza13's pile!

Thank you for contributing the impressive the pile of supports gathered on my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 0x0104/0x01/0x00. I'm happy that so many people have put faith in my abilities as an admin and promise to use the tools wisely and do my best not to let you down. If I ever may be of assistance, just leave a note on my talk page. Misza13, the rouge-on-demand admin wishes you happy editing!

[edit] Lebanese Casualties

Hi Terrancommander,

The reason that I removed the "civilians" qualification from the Lebanese casualties section of the conflict box on 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict is that none of the sources listed note the number, even with the "at least" qualification, as civilians. I have outlined my reasoning on talk as well if you'd like to respond there. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 04:32, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah if they're not verified, then why not just remove everything? Seems better! --Terrancommander 04:33, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikibreak

If anyone wants me to take a Wikibreak, I will gladly do so. :) --Terrancommander 16:19, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you so much for voting in my recent RFA. It passed on the relatively narrow vote of 38/8/8. It was also one of the least-participated-in RFA nominations in several months, so pat yourself on the back, and join the party on your left, but first, take your cookie! NOTE: I can't code HTML to save my life. I copied this from Misza13. I guess I should write him a thank you note as well. Cookies sold separately. Batteries not included. Offer not valid with other coupons. May contain peanuts or chicken. Keep out of the reach of small children, may present a choking hazard to children under the age of 3. Do not take with alcohol.

[edit] my RfA

Thanks for your support in my RfA! Unfortunately, the request did not pass, with a vote of (43/16/7). But your support was appreciated and I'll just keep right on doing what I do. Maybe I'll see ya around -- I'll be here!
Cheers! - CheNuevara 17:32, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] my RfA

Thanks for your support opinion on my RfA. With a final vote of (62/0/1), my RfA passed, and I am now an Administrator. I will work hard to ensure that the tools entrusted to me will not be abused, and will wield my mop proudly.
Happy editing! --Firsfron of Ronchester 23:33, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA and your vote

Hello Terran, Thanks for participating in my RFA! Ultimately, no consensus was reached, but I still appreciate the fact that you showed up to add in your two cents. (And I agree--RFA voting is cool!) You can feel free to talk to me about it or add some advice on my improvement page. Sincerely, The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me)

[edit] Thanks from Yanksox

Hello, Terran, and thank you for supporting my RfA, which registered a tally of 104/4/7. Which means... I am now an admin!!! I was and still am very flattered by all the kind comments that I recieved, I will also take into account the comments about how I could improve. I guarantee I will try my best to further assist Wikipedia with the mop. Feel free to drop in and say hi or if you need anything. Again, thank you so much! Yanksox 04:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concordia Newsletter

NEWSLETTER

Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly.

[edit] Help out now!

• Try and help people remain civil! Talk to them, and help them in any way possible. Do not be afraid to use the talk page.
• Give people the Civility Barnstar.
• Make and spread some Wikitokens so people know there are people to help if they want assistance.
• Add banners or logos to your userpage to show your support.
• Suggest some ideas! Add 'em to the talk page.

We are a community, so can only work though community contributions and support. It's the helping that counts.

[edit] Decision Making

The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported.

If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here.
