[edit] Jonadabs

Hi, you voted "keep" for this article and I was wondering what motivation or sources you found that warrant its keeping. As it stands the article is unsource conjecture about a seemingly non-notable concept mentioned in a few works that is not seen as a group (as the article portrays it). Have you found sources for this article? I am worried that the original author is just putting her opinion in the mix and not giving sources for what these people are or aren't. Please comment back and thanks. gren 05:43, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I have no motivation for keeping it. Nor do I have sources that warrant its keeping. I think that I might follow the other user 'mysekurity' and go for a weak delete. If the author can produce a source I defidently think that the article should be kept. DarthVader 05:50, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] As Seen On TV

Thanks for supporting this article with a KEEP Darth. I don't know what the hell is wrong with all these North Americans slagging of The Magic Dudes. They are great. I also believe that a 12 part series on national television is noteworthy. For some reason they all seem to have got it into their heads that being on TV in Australia doesn't count for anything. To check out the total slagging I have been copping for doing an article on them, see The Magic Dudes and the associated VFD. Good to see at least one person apart from me thinks Australian TV shows are important. Do you like magic? MagicFan 14:13, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

I am not too interested in magic, however I think that shows like this that go on national television are noteworthy. You certainly do seem to get a lot of crap on those VfD discussions. I hope that you are lucky enough to succeed. DarthVader 14:03, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Reading back through the crap on the VFD for these guys, it looks like a lot of what was written was bullshit. I just checked out their website at www.magicdudes.com and it definitely isn't a shop. The only thing you can buy there is the DVD of their TV show. It looks like the web site is more to do with who they are, what they are doing now and talking about their projects.

[edit] Constitution of Syria

Rmky87 here. I am the one who "blanked," er, moved the Constitution of Syria to Wikisource as 134.193.149.115 (there are so many things I can do logged off that I don't bother to log onto to that other computer). The instructions on the Move to Wikisource page say:

Simple process

(be logged in to Wikisource as well):

1. Select and cut all text.
2. Add {{subst:wikisource}} and save the changes.
3. Click on article link and paste text.
4. Add {{from en}} to let people there know its a dump, and save the changes.

If you look at the right-hand side of this page, you will see

<div class="noprint" style="clear: right; border: solid #aaa 1px; margin: 0 0 1em 1em; font-size: 90%; background: #f9f9f9; width: 250px; padding: 4px; spacing: 0px; text-align: left; float: right;"> <div style="float: left;">[[Image:wikisource-logo.png|50px|none|Wikisource]]</div> <div style="margin-left: 60px;">[[Wikisource]] has original text related to this article: <div style="margin-left: 10px;">'''''[[Wikisource:{{PAGENAME}}|{{PAGENAME}}]]'''''</div> </div> </div>

which makes

Wikisource has original text related to this article:

DarthVader/Archive 1

on the right side of the page. I have put that back on the top of the page in place of the reverted move to Wikisource notice which is no longer needed.

Do I have your permission to turn the Constitution of Syria into a redirect to its present location at Wikisource? Seriously. I don't want to get one of those messages again. Rmky87

Yes you are completely right. I am so sorry. DarthVader 06:07, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

It's okay. I was once so tired that I did not an ice chest that came up to my shoulder, that was big and grey and was surrounded by nothing but wall and was directly in front of me. In my defence, I was too scared of screwing up to move before...What's-Her-Face said, "the one directly in front of you?" wondering what the hell was wrong with me.

[edit] user page vandal

I was tracking the edits of a vandal(of George Bush page) and he seems to have hit you. Contact admins Golbez or RedWolf24 if it happens again. They will block vandals in a heartbeat. Good day.Voice of All(MTG) 06:01, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. I was aware of this vandal at the time. I reverted a page that it vandalised, and it got angry and wrote that stuff on my page. I then asked the admin Mindspillage to block the user, and this happened after that vandal continued to vandalise pages. DarthVader 06:13, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Strange, I have reverted vandals many times and they have left my user stuff alone, thank heavens. Glad this one got blocked. Who has nothing better to do than vandalize an internet encyclopedia all day, which will just get reverted anyway? beats me....Voice of All(MTG) 07:24, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for supporting me in my RfA. I really didn't think people appreciate my work here that much, but it's nice to see you do: my Request was closed with 66 supports and 4 opposes. I'll do my best not to turn your confidence down. If in any point in the future you get the feeling I'm doing something wrong, do not hesitate to drop me a line. --Dijxtra 12:00, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CJ Elections

Two nominees for Concillor, User:Osbus and User:Xchrisblackx, have now voted for other nominees in the Councillor category (in the case of Osbus for himself), which very clearly breaches the electoral rules. Therefore I would suggest that all votes are nullifies of the two nominees, and that furthermore both nominees be disqualified for a very clear breach of electoral rules, which they are expressly told to be conversant in (in nice read text). --Wisden17 20:43, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Why have the electoral rules been changed after the election has started!? --Wisden17 20:43, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Dear DV, I appreciate your vote and your kind words in my RFA. It has passed with an unexpected 114/2/2 and I feel honored by this show of confidence in me. Cheers! ←Humus sapiens ну? 03:02, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for voting on my RfA

Thanks so much for voting! Thanks so much for voting on my request for adminship. I have decided to withdraw my nomination as it seems that consensus will not be reached. If you voted in support, thanks for putting your trust in me to be a good admin. If you voted in opposition, thank you as well for your criticism as it will only help me be a better Wikipedian and perhaps help if/when I apply for adminship again sometime in the future.

[edit] A landslide victory for The JPS (aka RFA thanks)

Hey, DarthVader/Archive 1, thank you so much for your vote and comments in my RfA, which passed with an overwhelming consensus of 95/2/2. I was very surprised and flattered that the community has entrusted me with these lovely new toys. I ripped open the box and started playing with them as soon as I got them, and I've already had the pleasure of deleting random nonsense/attacks/copyvios tonight. If I ever do anything wrong, or can help in some way, please feel free to drop me a line on my talk page, and I will do my best to correct my mistake, or whatever...

Dear DarthVader/Archive 1,

Thanks for voting on my RFA! I appreciate your faith in me, and was overwhelmed by the positive response to my RFA; for it shows that at least I'm doing something right. :) I've started working to improve myself already, and I hope that next time, things run better, and maybe, just maybe, one day we can bask on the shores of Admintopia together.

[edit] Your vote on my RFA

Thank you for voting on my RFA! However, I withdrew my candidacy since the people felt I need more experience (and more practice doing an RFA). Good to see that you pointed out my experience on Wikinews. —THIS IS MESSEDOCKER (TALK) 20:18, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi DarthVader/Archive 1,

Thank you for supporting my RFA! Unfortunately it did not succeed mainly because most opposers wanted me to spend more time on Wikipedia. Thank you for your faith in me & looking forward to your continued support in the future.

[edit] Community Justice Newsletter

Community Justice Newsletter

Welcome Previously, various notices regarding Community Justice have gone out to our members; though this is the first actual newsletter. This issue will contain information regarding decisions made on the first meeting, our new council, and more...! If you wish to unsubscribe to future newsletters, please add your name to Wikipedia:Community Justice/Do Not Spam. New Council Following our first elections, a new council has been elected.Computerjoe and Ian13 remain as chairman and chief executive (respectively); while Eddieh, Wiki alf and Xchrisblackx are replaced as councillors by Ilyanep, Osbus and Covington. The Giant Puffin and Pureblade remain as councillors. Member Conduct In the last meeting, the conduct of 4 members was discussed. Ethnopunk will be put on probation, supervised by Ian13, if he/she is incivil during this probation, he/she will be expelled from WP:CJ; the same was decided for Misza13 (voluntarily), and his probation will be supervised by Computerjoe. No action will be taken against Computerjoe. Barnstar The Civility Barnstar which our members have designed has been sent to Barnstar and award proposals. We'd appreciate your feedback! Also, we are planning to make a Community Justice barnstar to give to hard-working CJ members. If you're a budding designer, consider trying to make it, then post your proposal to WT:CJ! Name and logo change There has been no consensus reached regarding changing our name and/or logo neither at WT:CJ nor at WT:CJ/M/1. While suggestions are still welcome, no action will be taken at this time. Programs We are going to try to create programs to more actively involve our members. If you have any ideas, please drop a line at WT:CJ. We will try to work with WP:ESP on one of these programs, at some point in the future. Thanks! Thank you for your time. If you need anything, feel free to comment at WT:CJ or come into our IRC channel [2]. Computerjoe wishes to extend his thanks to User:Robchurch, a non-member who assisted in making {{tracker}} redundant, as well as Misza13 for his continued support and to the whole of this and the previous council. This newsletter was delivered by CJBot, written by Computerjoe, with technical help from Misza13. Computerjoe's talk 19:30, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] superthanks

Hi James - I'm very sorry to have disappointed your expectation in me, but it had become impossible for me to compromise my principles. I don't covet adminship at all, so it wasn't a difficult decision - I simply cannot accept misrepresentation and nonsense. However, I cannot tell you how greatly joyous I feel at the enthusiastic, wonderful support you expressed for me. I don't know how hard it will be to understand that your supports means extremely a lot to me. I thank you from my heart, and please let me know if I can ever be assistance or help in anything.

[edit] CorbinSimpson's Request for Adminship

Thanks for voting in my request for administrator rights, even though it failed (13/30/4). Sadly, work has forced me to respond to you all using a substituted message rather than a personalized response. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that administrators, to me, should be chosen and approved by the community, and I will continue working to become a better editor and Wikipedian. No matter what the alignment of your vote was, I will take your comments seriously and use them to improve myself. If you wish to discuss your comments personally with me, I would be more than glad to talk about things since the RfA is now over; just leave your concern on my talk page and we will sort things out. Thanks again for voting, and happy editing! - Corbin ^{Be excellent}

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Naismith Family

You voted on this AfD; I just wanted to let you know that I've extended the AfD to cover Carolina Family, a similar article created by the same user. If for some reason you have a different opinion on the latter, please make your opinions known on the AfD. Ral315 (talk) 12:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
