[edit] My RfA:
Thank you so very much for voting support in my RfA. However, I have withdrawn due to reasons that a stressed user would withdraw under. I'm sorry I have failed you & your expectations. Thanks, Spawn Man 08:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Hi there Halo... Thanks a lot for your kind words and 100% support during my recent RFA! I am sorry for the delay in getting back but part of the reason was that I am not good at making templates and partly I wanted to drop a personal thank you note. Those are quite impressive contributions you have listed on your page!! Do let me know if I can be of assistance to you at any time -- Lost(talk) 17:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Response
Halo, stop being such a good editor. It's annoying. Go and vandalize, or troll, for a change. Or launch a personal attack. Or be incivil. Something I could tick you off for. But to be confronted with such a model of excellence is seriously a pain. ARRGH!!
Anyway, homely foolery (Shakespeare, would you believe) over - naw, I didn't think you were having a go at me. I'd made a foolish comment and felt I needed to apologise, and to clarify my other comments - what I really felt were the problems at that damned RFA, which seemed to have caused a lot more kerfuffle than it's worth. If adminship's no big deal, at what price should we put a mere RFA...anyway. Yep, all's well in my little corner of the Universe that is forever Moreschi. Your post is appreciated - just confirms my high opinion of you as an editor and admin that shall be hereafter (O.K, time to stop, this is getting pretentious). See you round.

[edit] Article about Wikipedia Users
I am a freelance writer working on an article about the wide array of people who make Wikipedia their life, their passion, their pastime. Wikipedia “addicts” if you will. I’m looking for people just willing to tell their story of how they got sucked into the intellectual whirlwind that is Wikipedia; how you got started editing, how the obsession grew, and what you spend your time focusing on these days? Do you write articles from scratch? Is your main push toward one particular type of article? Do you patrol for typos and errors, or spend your time diligently fixing vandalism? Do you take part in the “social aspects” of Wikipedia; engaging in animated discussions or decorating your user page with all sorts of internet memes? Have you ever forced yourself to take a “Wikipedia break”? If so, what’s your 20/20 hindsight on the obsession? Basically I’m just trying to get an idea of what it’s like for various Wikipedia “addicts.” I'm particularly interested in speaking to you about your thoughts on Esperanza and the Wikipedia Kindness Campaign. If you are interested in participating, please email me at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 68.39.158.205 03:09, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RfA thanks
Thank you so much, The Halo, for your support in my RfA, which passed on November 11, 2006, with a final tally of 82/0/2. I am humbled by the kind support of so many fellow Wikipedians, and I vow to continue to work and improve with the help of these new tools. Should you have any request, do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Húsönd 20:38, 11 November 2006 (UTC) |
[edit] thank you
Thank you for your support...
Thank you ever so much, The Halo, for your kind words and understanding in my time of need. I deeply appreciate your support, and I hope to be there for you, should you ever need help. — Kyoko
Hello The Halo, and thanks for your kind words. I wish I wasn't so fragile and that we didn't keep corresponding with each other only in times of need. I wasn't always this way, you know. Thanks again. --Kyoko 14:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks!
Thank you for that very interesting quote you left me on my talk page. In appreciation, I leave you the kindness award, in which you receive the apple =) .--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 02:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
The Kindness Award of Ed | ||
This Wikipedian has received the Kindness Award from Ed for going the extra mile to be kind to another person. Please read a nice story on kindness over here. As a reward, I offer this user a random piece of food. (I will never give the same food item out twice, so don't be jealous.) |
- I never knew you liked apples. According to my statement, I randomly pick food. =) Ed ¿Cómo estás? 02:14, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Hope the EA MfD isn't stressing you out too much, eh? riana_dzasta 12:07, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- Heh, they wouldn't dare! I understand that it's a lot of work, but I'm glad to see you sticking to your guns (unlike the multiple people who decided to leave today). At least the MfD is bringing some potential problems out into the open... riana_dzasta 12:15, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your input on my (nearly recent) Request for adminship, which regretfully achived no consensus, with votes of 68/28/2. I am grateful for the input received, both positive and in opposition, and I'd like to thank you for your participation. | |

[edit] Birthday
You're only ten months older than I am?!? (And you sound so much older…) And for the non-mother sound: "Dude, ur only a year older than me! Cool, rock on!" ;) — $PЯINGrαgђ Always loyal! 00:02, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Banes
Hi, I noticed you closed down Banes's user page and archived his discussions. I was unaware that he had left Wikipedia, do you have any idea on what the reason was? Thanks, — Impi 15:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- Indeed, Daniel didn't say anything about it from looking at his last few contribs... (Which are only a few days old) KOS | talk 21:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- How sad, I haven't talked to Daniel in quite a few days, last thing he told me was that life was great, and that he was on holiday. Oh well, I took a 4 month break, and became a better editor because of it, maybe the same will be true for him as well. Thanks for the reply. KOS | talk 05:06, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I'm glad you enjoy my comments.
I'm even more hilarious in IRC, though. --ElaragirlTalk|Count 14:14, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your support
I have to say that given the recent Esperanza discussions, that your support on my RfA means a lot to me. If successful, I hope to justify your support. Thanks, —Doug Bell talk 14:30, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- Don't mention it. I truely think you have the qualities that a good admin should have. I fact, the Esperanza discussions were one of the main reasons I did support, as you made reasonable arguements (although I don't agree with some of them ;) and followed through with what you thought was best for Wikipedia, which I hope even the most die-hard Esperanza supporter couldn't find you at fault for. I wish you the best of luck with the RfA :) Thε Halo Θ 14:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Well done anyway
Hey Halo,
I know this has been a really stressful time for you, but thank you for staying with your convictions and working hard through this restructuring. Your opinions are always helpful and appreciated, and I hope you continue to participate! We'll miss you in the AC (if it stays around), so thanks for your hard work. -- Natalya 19:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. :) Have a lovely weekend, Halo, I hope it's a very nice break. Good luck with everything! -- Natalya 16:29, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Banes?
Do you know what happened to banes? I noticed that you were the one who put the retired sticker on his userpage. But I can't seem to find where he announced he was retiring. I hope he is okay. Please let me know if you don't mind. Thanks.__Seadog ♪ 20:07, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Happy Thanksgiving!
- Hey, hope you have a great Thanksgiving! Turkey sure is tasty isn't it? Well, that turkey up there isn't too happy, but whether you eat Turkey or not, have a great day! ¡Adios amigo!Kyo catmeow! 22:43, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Did you like this? leave any comments at my talk page! It's the meow on my signature! Kyo catmeow! 23:15, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] LIVE IRC CHARTER DEBATE
There are many proposals to change the charter floating around Esperanza right now. Let's talk about all of them in an Esperanza IRC charter "debate". I believe a good time would be exactly one week from today. In US Eastern Time, 5:30pm, next week, on Friday. What do you think? WikieZach| talk 04:28, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- What about us who don't have IRC? (I've downloaded it, but my computer crashes when I use it.) — $PЯINGrαgђ Always loyal! 04:55, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Oh dear...
Medical problems, eh? That's no good! Chicken soup is, though :) Get better soon, Halo, and stay strong! riana_dzasta 08:01, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'm great, thanks! :) I'm leaving for India in
a week6 days, so I'm looking forward to that :) I hope you're feeling better. riana_dzasta 12:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Will this get me blocked?
[1] [2][3] [4] [5] If only your friend was still an admin, then all your worries would be over.--Wokid MM 01:56, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hey!
Haven't seen you around in a while :) Just popped into say, I'm getting better/happier after that incident, and I hope you are too. Get well soon! Will (Tell me, is something eluding you, Sunshine?) 02:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] get well soon

Thanks for the revert, I have no idea what that guy was talking about! 'I challenge you to block me' is funny, though :) riana_dzasta 18:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I'm leaving
goodbye--Wokid ‡ 01:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: your message
I'm not really feeling well either. I'll try to work out how to word my wall of text without laying too much blame on your sister. (While she isn't entirely to blame for what happened, she isn't innocent either) Will (Tell me, is something eluding you, Sunshine?) 15:42, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Get Well Wishes
Hi Halo, I'm not sure whether your last message was thanking me for wishing you well for your physical ailments, or if you were wishing me well for my emotional problems, but anyway, thank you. As a side note, I hope that I haven't hurt your feelings (or the feelings of the other AC members) in the discussions about how to reform Esperanza. I strongly believe in maintaining something on Wikipedia that acts as a resource for help and support, even though our personal approaches to this goal may differ. I hope you feel better soon. --Kyoko 04:48, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
