[edit] Heads Up

Dear Sharon, Lar's talk page is quite busy, so in case it passes you by unnoticed, myself and others have replied to you at User_talk:Lar#My_dear_Larry. I hope you're well sweetheart and don't get disappearing on us again, OK?! :P --kingboyk 12:52, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

Hi Phaedriel - 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. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rama's Arrow (talk • contribs) 17:00, May 14, 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggested Moderate Libertarian Feedback

Hey Phaedriel, I am wondering why you want to delete the article on Moderate Libertarianism. There seems to be some "policy" this article is violating? If it is outside the policies, I would like to work to fix this.

Your help would be appreciated! Jhaven 21:15, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

[edit] Flattery?

Check out this user page. OhNoitsJamie^Talk 22:51, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it looks more like "thievery" to me :( Thanks so much for letting me know, dear jamie. Kisses, Phaedriel ♥ tell me - 14:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for cleaning up after the cows! Bucketsofg✐ 19:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hope you don't mind

...if I thanked you for always being so kind (and for putting up the wikibreak notices). :) Regards, Sango123 (e) 20:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Hi Phaedriel; thanks for the kind note! While I often go through bursts of activity on Wikipedia, I probably don't set aside enough time to get to know other users. You seem to be one of the nicest users around, so if you think that I'm nice, that's a high compliment! In any case, I have been considering another go at adminship, but I'm not sure yet. I'll go into more detail later, but I just wanted to respond in a reasonably timely manner to your note. Cheers, OhNoitsJamie^Talk 22:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good missionary work

Hey, just wanted to thank you personally for the kind and encouraging message you left on M1ss1ontomars2k4's talk page regarding his RfA. I know he's going to make a great admin some day soon, and its good to see the community supporting him even though this one didn't make it. Good job, Gwernol 22:48, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA Thank You!

Thanks Phaedriel,

I am honored by your support in my recent successful request for adminship. As an administrator, I am your servant, ready to help however I can. (In your case, since you've had the tools longer than I, my best use might be menial labor!) My talk page is always open; should you need anything, or should you see me making a mistake -- probably a common occurrence -- please do let me know. I will depend on the good sense of the community to keep me from making a complete fool of myself! :) In gratitude, Xoloz 15:56, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

PS. I hope you don't mind my saying so, but having just seen your picture for the first time: goodness gracious, you're beautiful! :)

Hey! I saw her first :P (only joking Sharon) --kingboyk 09:36, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mod Lib

Thanks Phaedriel...I will try to make it more encyclopedic (when I have some more time...which is scarce right now). You do raise an intereting suggestion. Maybe I should put it on the dictionary side for now. Thanks! - Jhaven 21:16, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

So I updated it. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Jhaven 18:22, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re. my edits

re. my edits to different Indian topics, I can see that you are biased because of your heritage, but that is no excuse to revert legitimate and historically accurate information. You don't have to play all nice on me when you clearly want to hide relevant information about the atrocities committed by your people. I will be readding it soon, and if you remove it again, I will have to report you. Atlantahawk 23:23, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Atlantahawk, no personal attacks and civility would be good places for you to start reading before you do anymore editing, Thanks, --MONGO 04:52, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] gross factual errors

I noticed that you have addressed Old Windy bear's lack of objectivity in his Frank Hamer article before, so I was hoping that you could assit me mith correcting the gross factual errors that he refuses to edit in the face of overwhelming evidence, particularly some of the very documents that he cites! I am including a post I made to Katefan ( a person he keeps asking to freeze me out) for you to review, but it will probaly behelpful to go to the article page and see all the discussion linking to various pages. I will check back her for your response.

Thank you

To User:Katefan0 Will you take a moment to look at Old Windy Bear's own citations that refute his own claims. The link he keeps providing shows that Hamer's last commission ended in January 1933, a year and a half before the Bonnie & Clyde job. This error of fact is particularly important because your writer goes on to make some far-out claims based on that factual error. And as for his criticims of the "I'm" Frank Hamer" book, he is so ignorant that he refers to it as an autobiography even though hamer died 15 years before it was written by John H. Jenkins & H. Gordon Frost, two highly esteemed Texas historians of their generation. You can verify their reputations with the UT-Austin History department if you like. And furthermore, his claims about the timing of the book are erroneous as well, as is his claim that the settlement the family received was insignificant. The terms of the settlement included a confidentiality clause, so make him provided documents to rpove that claim as well. I do know this, the first payment came at the signing around 1970, a suitcase full of wrapped stacks of $500.00 bills. Frank Jr still has the suitcase and wrappers if you would like to see them. And finally, your writer cites a self-described NOVEL, the one by shelton, as if it were a work of history. He might as well cite the warren beatty movie then! I have reviewed his discussion pages and see that he has been REGULARLY criticized for his factual errors and obvious bias when writing articles. Perhaps it is time that your company ban him altogether and remove any & all articles that he has posted in order to spare yourelves further embarrasment in the media?

[edit] Stay strong

I just wanted to say you shouldn't let people like Atlantahawk get you down. I'm not saying you showed any signs of being upset, but even obviously ridiculous insults can hurt deep down (I know from experience). There are always going to be mean people in the world (at least if the world is kept like it is today). Unfortunately, racism is a fact of life in America, always has been and probably always will be, no matter how pointless it is. With regard to the actual content of Atlantahawk's edits, even if the Comanches did those things that he/she alledged, we all know they were a perfectly reasonable and justified response to outside invasion and colonization by whites (and I'm predominantly white btw, assuming races even exist). This kind of blame the victim thing gets really old. Hey, at least atlantahawk called you cute ;) The Ungovernable Force 08:36, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

"Hey, at least atlantahawk called you cute"... Well atlantahawk got ONE thing right anyway... For the record I rolled back his last post here, it was way too incivil. I gave him a 24 hour block but was counseled elsewhere that perhaps it was too short. Should he appear here again and act incivilly and someone else doesn't do it first, I'll rollback and block again. ++Lar: t/c 12:31, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Good work Lar. --kingboyk 12:42, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

For the record: My proudest moment as an admin so far... in the sense that it made me glad I had the ability to do it, and my saddest, in the sense that it had come to that after the user had been warned. ++Lar: t/c 19:27, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Saddening stuff

All this in just the day I've been away? This is saddening... I really never thought it could get this far. I was hoping to make at least 50 edits today, but after reading all this, I've lost the will to contribute for a while. I'm used to this kind of stuff at RL, but I hoped I wouldn't have to see it here as well. Larry, Dave, Stevie, Blnguyen and my new friend, Ungovernable Force: thanks to all of you for your help and your support; you all really honor the meaning of the word friendship. I'll call it a day. See you all tomorrow. Smoochs xxx Phaedriel ♥ tell me - 02:31, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Thank you, Phaedriel, for voting in my RFA. It closed with a final result of 75/1/0. Now that I am an administrator here, I will continue to improve this encyclopedia, using my new tools to revert vandalism, block persistent vandals, protect pages that have been vandalized intensively, and close AFD discussions. Any questions? Please contact me by adding a new section on my talk page. Again, thanks to all of you who participated!!! -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:09, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

O_O You knew the lyrics? I'm in shock (not really, but not often you find a girl who knows Metallica lyrics :P). But thanks for the kind words, and I was just kidding about the hug. :P Thanks again, and I'll probably see you around in the future! Master of Puppets ^{That's hot.} 01:01, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

For you. :)

Thanks for the warm welcome back, m'dear! :D I'll try to check my e-mail as soon as I get a chance. Take care, Sango123 (e) 22:37, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tami chynn

OK fair point. The user recreated it themselves anyway, possibly without realising it had been deleted, so I have nominated it for deletion. Thank you for the comments though the online stress is building up once more. -- Francs2000 23:11, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

HQITW is back & you are on the scoreboard!! Spawn Man 22:15, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Congrats, you are currently 2nd on the leaderboard (see this page). You are in front of 3rd place by 2 points & are behind 1st place by 1 point. You currently hold the "Most correct trivia questions" record. Thanks for playing... Spawn Man 01:30, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merci beaucoup!

Thank you, Phaedriel/Archive 10! Thank you for voting for my recent RfA, which passed (to my extreme surprise and shock) with a total tally of 66/15/2. For that, I would like to thank you and offer a helping hand in any admin-related tasks that may be required -- it's as simple as leaving a message on my talkpage. Thanks again! -→Buchanan-Hermit™/!? 22:19, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] EWS23's RfA

Hello Sharon! Thank you very much for your kind words and support at my request for adminship. Because of your contributions, your name has become synonymous with kindness and WikiLove in my mind. I'm sorry to see that you've had some trouble with some users above, but if you ever need any advice or support in the future, I hope I'll be one person you think of. Thanks again, and if there's ever anything you see that I could be doing better, please leave me a message. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 02:41, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your message. :o) Rest assured, you'll be one of the first people I think of if I ever need to talk about some wikistress. With only the best wishes for you and hope for the future, EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 00:34, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WillC's rfa

I have never seen a more kind-hearted, compassionate response. You must be a wonderful person. Cheers. :) Dlohcierekim 03:17, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words. I am nearly speechless. :) Dlohcierekim 13:26, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Wow, you must have REALLY moved him! (grin, duck, run)... Dear Phaedriel, it's true, you do have that effect on people... ++Lar: t/c 14:36, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ardenn's "don't need more admins"

In your reply, you said that en:WP has lowest admin/user ratio. True that, but we also have to remember all those junky throwaway accounts. I think the more popular a given language Wikipedia gets, the more people are going to create vandalism-only junk accounts. Then again, maybe we're expanding faster than we can get devoted users to be admins. BTW, thanks for the comment+barnstar! --M1ss1ontomars2k4 | T | C | @ 03:43, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A little late

I just wanted to thank you for your kind note on my talk page. I've been busy the last couple of days in the real and wiki worlds and am just now getting around to responding...sorry. Anyway, if that person shows up again, just let me know and I'll have them and anything they edit on my watchlist asap. The Ungovernable Force 04:58, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

SPAM WARNING - quasi form letter follows! (#2)
I'm attempting to open the biggest can of worms ever. I know that you're not (yet) an administrator, but you're thoughtful. (Both in the "nice" way and the "thinking" way, I might add.) I'd like to hear your thoughts on the category I've just created.

[edit] Help!

Maybe this will interest you...Glacier National Park (US) has been made a featured article just yesterday. However, I noticed something about the history section today. The link we have states nothing about a "Mountain Chief" as the leader who sold portions of what became park lands to the U.S. Government [1], only mentioning "Piegan leaders, White Calf and Three Suns". However, at this site: [2] Mountain Chief is discussed in detail...which link is more acurate and/or am I reading the data wrong?--MONGO 04:03, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
