[edit] Thanks!

Many thanks for helping fend off the vandals while Gregorian chant was on the main page. I wasn't prepared for the level of vandalism. It's heartening to know how efficient and diligent you WP admins and editors are to revert it! Peirigill 07:12, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome! Just trying to help out a bit in this community. Zephyr2k 10:32, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Br. vs. Am. spelling

Just a friendly reminder that when fixing spelling and grammar (which is greatly appreciated!) like you recently did on Swallow, it is customary to leave out differences between British and American variants except for consistancy. The choice of spelling is usually left to the major contributor(s). The page history reveals that many article contributors live in Britain. --Swift 19:42, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Was that only for the word characterised? Sorry about that. But the rest seem fine. I'll revert the spelling. Thanks for the info. Zephyr2k 19:47, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, only that one. The others were good. Cheers, --Swift 21:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Berwick, Louisiana

Zephyr, I live in Berwick, and we truly are ruled by evil chickens, aand a suborder of Damned Dirty Apes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.126.115.190 (talk • contribs) 22:15, August 25, 2006.

lol. Zephyr2k 22:23, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

I just wanted to let you know that I thought your edit summaries [1] [2] were really good. Personally, I think that the term "vandalism" is overused to describe edits like these and it's nice to see edit summaries like that on the reverts. Cheers, JYolkowski // talk 22:50, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I have actually just learned how to assume good faith when doing reverts. I think I've been using vandalism too often in my prior comments. Thanks again! Zephyr2k 23:12, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Popsicle

How DARE you revert my edit! We DID have Greek olympics in 6th grade, so shut your mouth if you don't know what the hell you're talking about, you fat freak with no life! P.S.:Change it back, you moron! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.37.85.231 (talk • contribs) 23:12, August 25, 2006.

Uh, no. Zephyr2k 23:52, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Stop stopping me from vandalising pages at once! You are a fat bich who eats too much yoghurt. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.37.85.231 (talk • contribs) 23:57, August 25, 2006.

lol. Get a life dude. Zephyr2k 00:01, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ashfaqulla Khan

Myself and other Indian users will assist you in this endeavor. Ashfaqulla Khan is a revered patriot.Bakaman _Bakatalk 22:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! And I'll try to help out when I can. Though I'm really not a subject matter expert on it. Zephyr2k 22:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

The tone is not NPOV though. I got some people to work the article out. They actually already have Shahid Ashfaqulla Khan. That should be merged sometime.Bakaman _Bakatalk 23:09, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

We'll work it out, if not us, then someone else. I'm going offline soon. Zephyr2k 23:23, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signature

Hey Zephyr2k, just wanted to ask you to consider changing the color of your username in your signature. The pink is a little hard for me to read and I suspect that may be true for other users as well, especially color-blind ones. Just something to consider, thanks for your time. -- DrunkenSmurf 18:46, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I know it is hard to read. I had to change it to pink because people kept thinking I'm a guy. I planned it only to be temporary until I run across a nice girlie color on the talk pages. Didn't know it was that easy to google for it. Silly me. Thanks for taking the time to tell me.  :) zephyr2k 19:00, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

LOL, I figured as much, the darker pink is much better IMO. Happy editing! DrunkenSmurf 19:07, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ravina

No apology was necessary, you did what any good editor should have done! --Richhoncho 07:53, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hyperthermia Article

I see that a long article on Hyperthermia for Cancer Therapy was deleted because you feel that it was not original. As I am the author of it, it is very original. Nothing copywrited was taken and used. This is an article that I wrote for my company on Hyperthermia. I would appreciate your putting it back as it was written. Rrwhite54

[edit] You're online

Please look at this one: User:Little birdy. Some bad vandalism. I don't know my way around en:wiki how to block this one. --JohJak2 15:09, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

No worries. It's a userpage and the only editor is the user himself. zephyr2k 15:11, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

No, I meant his contributions. But, come to think of, I could revert it myself too :) as long as he/she stops. JohJak2 15:14, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I got it. Thanks. Was confused for a while. Lol. zephyr2k 15:16, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

No. Because you helped me out on Ashfaqulla Khan, I'll Assume Good Faith and brush your inquiry off as curiosity. I've been accused of being many users socks, none of which were/will be substantiated. Might I ask you to be more careful in suggesting sockpuppetry?Bakaman _Bakatalk 22:20, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. As I stated above, I assumed good faith with you, knowing you to be a nice and helpful user.Bakaman _Bakatalk 01:18, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks also. I'll keep your suggestion in mind. Sorry, I was really quite confused at that time. I think I'll stay out of the picture the next time I see 2 users battling each other out in a series of warns and reverts. zephyr2k 01:36, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi!

Thank you for the welcome! :) Ghost on my Desk 22:18, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{welcome}}

Hello, Zephyr2k. When using certain 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. Thanks, Sango123 01:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] H.C. Matthew Sim

Understood - I tend to be a bit trigger-happy, perhaps, when I see an article formatted the way that one is; it just looks like it's been copied here without much thought. Could definitely stand Wikification - I'll tag it as such. --AlbertHerring 01:45, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:

ITs not good faith. ITs just another way the anti-Hindu cabal finds ways to malign me. Since they cant contribute, they have to find something to cling to, like when I was feeling my way across wiki.Bakaman _Bakatalk 02:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't know anything about anti-Hindu cabals or much of the things you get yourself involved in, but I did have a feeling that it was a report made in bad faith and couldn't sit around watching. I'm doing what I think is right at the moment and I don't want to get involved in the edit warring. Hope you guys sort out your differences soon. Happy editing! zephyr2k 03:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

That's all right. Its nice to see users stand up for what they believe, after all if it wasn't for you there would not be an Ashfaqulla Khan article.Bakaman _Bakatalk 03:29, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a tally of 66/11/5. I learned quite a bit during the process, and I expect to be learning a lot more in the days ahead. I will be taking things slowly (and doing a lot of re-reading), but I hope you will let me know if there is anything I can do to improve in my new capacity. -- Merope Talk 13:43, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Hello Zephyr ! Thank you for supporting me during my recently concluded RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of 77/2/0. I hope I live up to the confidence you have shown. I'm still exploring the new tools, so feel free to tell me of any mistakes I might make in the process. I share your emotion about the India-related NPOV disputes, and hope to help out. In case you need help with anything, just leave me a message. Thanks again!--thunderboltz(Deepu) 06:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka

Thank you for participating in my recent RfA. Unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful. However, I appreciate that you took the time to comment, and I did pay close attention to your thoughts, as I find it a valuable thing to understand how I am perceived by others in the Wikipedia community. Though the RfA was unsuccessful, I intend to continue contributing in a positive manner to Wikipedia, and if there is anything that I can do in the future to help further address your concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. --Elonka 10:07, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for supporting my RfA

Thank you for supporting my RfA that I have passed with 73/2/1.--Jusjih 10:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your support!

23:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

If I'm a bit pale in the face now, it's because of the amazing support during my recent request for adminship and because of all those new shiny buttons. And if in the future my use of them should not always be perfect please don't hesitate to shout at me any time, sunset, noon or sunrise.
