[edit] My RFA

Thanks for taking the time to comment in my RFA. Maybe you could explain in a bit more detail what you mean by "it seems too soon". I would appreciate any feedback. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 20:42, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you! That was a pleasant surprise :) - Haukur Þorgeirsson 21:16, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome Back

Hello again. Glad to see you're back. Hope all is well with you. Ann Heneghan ^(talk) 20:47, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Yay, you're back already! Glad you're feeling better. the wub "?!" 22:50, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

I echo these comments! Always makes me happy to see a returned editor. Welcome back, Private! Cheers, Bratsche^{talk | Esperanza} 03:34, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Good to see you have returned. CambridgeBayWeather 05:52, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Idoru

worry do not, I've got my eye on him -- ( drini's _vandalproof page ☎ ) 20:55, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your vote on my RFA

Now that the voting has officially closed, I would like to thank you very much for supporting my candidacy for adminstrator and as of 18:36, 28 October 2005 (UTC) I am an administrator. I will make sure to use the additional power judiciously and I welcome any comments you may have. --Reflex Reaction 19:39, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tomf688's RfA

Well, it seems I'm now an administrator. I wanted to thank you for your vote of confidence, and, as always, feel free to drop me a line at any time. --tomf688^{talk} 01:00, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Smile, dear Private!

I'm so sorry it took me a short while to get back to you, my dear Private. It's great news that you've returned to us... and better than ever, I hope! Sometimes, we all need a short break to take a deep breath, gather our strengths back, and face back the daily struggle with renewed optimism and energy. I'm sure the experience has been for the better, and although we have missed you in the meantime, if your temporary absence has served to keep you with us for a long time, then I'm glad we paid the price. Welcome back, dear Private! Warmest hugs, and please, don't leave again! Shauri smile! 02:45, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

thanks for voting for me in the counter vandalism unit election --☺Adam1213☺ Talk+|WWW 08:31, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you for your support! If you should ever have any concerns about my actions as an administrator (or if you think I'm just being too humorous ;-) ), please be sure to tell me! Kirill Lokshin 13:37, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dvyost RfA Thanks

Thanks for your support on my RfA! Rest assured that I'll do my best to wield the mop with honor and righteousness. Cheers! --Dave 14:48, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jim Gordan

The Jim Gordan image you marked as "promotional". Unless Jim is product, it isn't promomtional. Also you failed to mention the source. I have marked it as no source which means it may be deleted without further notice seven days from now. Zeimusu | Talk page 15:57, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RfA voting

I must say I don't get your vote on Wackymacs' RFA. He uses edit summaries about 60% of the time, therefore... he'll abuse the tools? I understand not lending your support for those, but really, is opposing him necessary? I'm not sending this message to Xoloz as his opposition makes a lot more sense, but edit summary percentage seems to have absolutely no connection to being an admin, other than it may be understandable that you want admins to be of the highest quality, but then again, we really need as many as we can get, provided they don't abuse them, and as far as I know, sub-70 edit summaries doesn't indicate abuse. Redwolf24 (talk) 04:59, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

• I'm sorry to hear you say that I am just a Joe Somebody and not deserving, I'm also sorry to read that you find Wikipedia an unimportant project. You cannot go around Wikipedia being rude to people you don't know, I find your comments very rude and inconsiderate, you cannot call someone you don't know a Joe Somebody and not deserving. I'm also curious as to why you are on Wikipedia at all if you think it is an unimportant project in the first place. — Wackymacs 20:02, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Hello! I want to thank you for your support of my RfA. I hope everything is going well for you. If I can be of service, please let me know. Best, Johntex\^talk 23:55, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] thanks...

thanks for the heads up and welcome. i appreciate it. pjones

[edit] My RFA

I want to thank you for voting in my RFA even though u opposed me I understand why. Thanks Again --JAranda | watz sup 23:06, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hang in there

I saw your note. Things must seem bad, but they usually aren't as bad as they seem. Your contributions here are valued, and I'm sure your contributions in other pursuits are valued too. I never finished reading your screenplay, but what I read was good. Be well. -Willmcw 23:09, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

• Please Dont go Wikipedia needs you --JAranda | watz sup 23:10, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

• Hello, Private Butcher. I'm really, really sorry to hear that things have fallen apart so badly, and that you've started using methadone again. I will respect your wishes, and say "Good luck", rather than "Please come back". I don't think anybody wants you to leave Wikipedia, and I assure you that there will be many peope who will rejoice if you come back some time and tell us you're fine. But the most important thing is that you must get help. Please, please do that. I hope to see you back, but I hope even more that you'll get the help and treatment that you need. Remember how much God loves you. You'll be in my prayers. Ann Heneghan ^(talk) 00:33, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

• Is he faking it or is this real? If it's real, good luck! Spawn Man 01:45, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

• Good luck; hoping that everything goes well, and you're able to overcome your addiction. Ral315 (talk) 02:16, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hey you

• Hey you, take a look ^ up there. I don't see anybody screwin' around with your head, just folks who give a damn about you. Stay or leave for a while or whatever, so long as you know that we care. Care enough to challenge your intellect and not just humor you or blow you off. I'd be really pissed if I saw you being marginalized but that's not what I see going on. But wtf do I know, I just call 'em as I see 'em. See ya at RFA as usual, with every candidate tryin' to get your approval.  ;-) --hydnjo talk 01:57, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your Departure

I'm glad that you are doing what is right. In my eyes, this makes you more mature and responsible than a lot of people that I know, Wikipedia and otherwise. I wish you all the best, and good luck with your endeavors once again. God Bless, Bratsche^{talk | Esperanza} 03:57, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Just wanted to second the above. Getting help is the best thing you can do. Good luck in whatever you do.--Sean|Black 04:10, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your break

I hope you're doing alright. Good luck with everything, and peace profound. --Merovingian (t) (c) (e) 04:29, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Missing barnstar

Hmmm, I don't know how to shrink this down to a manageable size. Can someone help me? --Nlu 05:01, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Good Luck Private

Take care..Dakota ? e 19:02, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes, good luck with doing the right thing. Rehab is one of those things more important than Wikipedia. Plus, I don't want to be hounded when you do return! ;) --Celestianpower ^háblame 13:52, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thankyou

Hello.

Thankyou for the nice welcome and the list of pages to have a look at. It's much appreciated. Zoe.r 22:04, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 'Me'?

Hihi. Can't say I've had anyone ask me to email them a life story before. :) In all honesty, there'd not be much to say - you'd be better off looking at LiveJournal 'cause it paints a more interesting picture of me than anything I'd write in an email. Enjoy!
Zoe.r 00:58, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

You're more than welcome to email me, if you like. I'm happy to help with research. :)
Should have signed that, so you're sure who this is, but forgot.
Zoe.r 01:17, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tagging

Hey, that image you uploaded, the special RFA one, you may wanna tag it (preferably with {{GFDL}}) or it'll be deleted by someone. Redwolf24 (talk) 02:45, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you :)

Well im not new to wikipedia but you made my first talk so i thought i would reply back. --Actown 03:19, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Me (Lord Bob)

Sure, I'd be glad to be interviewed. If there's one thing I love to talk about, it's me. Lord Bob 06:35, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikibreak

According to the Esperanza stress alerts page you are going on wikibreak. Is it true? You have been editing great today. If you are reconsidering your break and not going through with it please remove your name fom the Esperanza current stress alerts page please. SWD316 ^{talk to m}e 19:23, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Thats to bad, how long you going to be gone? SWD316 ^{talk to m}e 19:29, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Darn, I dont think I could properly function without a computer, lol. Well, hope to talk to you again, Cheers! SWD316 ^{talk to m}e 19:35, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rehab

Good luck, from all of us... Redwolf24 (talk) 02:17, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for supporting my RfA

I know I've been slow in saying this, but thanks for supporting my request for adminship. It was an honor to be both nominated and approved as an admin. If there is ever any adminish (is that a word :-) things you need help with, please let me know. --Alabamaboy 16:43, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Update on Quentin

Here's an update for those that are wondering. Yes it's been two days, but he just wanted to make sure everyone knew he was okay. I visited him today, and he just wanted to say "Hey", alrighty then, goodbye. RobertRay 20:17, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hey!

Glad to see that you'll be around occasionally. I hope things are getting better!--Sean|Black 23:08, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Dear Private. I saw your message on Shauri's talkpage. She has asked me to tell you that she will be back one day soon, and I know that she'd like to see you around :).--Wiglaf 08:05, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Very much for your kind support of my adminship. I'll do my best to live up to your and my other supporters' expectations. If you have any comments or concerns on my actions as an administrator, please let me know. Thank you! — MC MasterChef :: Leave a tip — 14:32, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Self portrait

I had the best laugh that I had in a while when I encountered that self portrait of yours. I especially like the smile - very satisfying. Thank you :-) --HappyCamper 02:15, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Psy guy's RfA

Thanks for supporting my RfA. It recently closed with final tally of 51/1/2. I sincerely appreciate it and I hope I can live up to your expectations. I will try my best to be a good administrator. If you ever need anything, just let me know. Thanks! -- Psy guy (talk) 05:41, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merci beaucoup

Hi, Private Butcher! Thanks for your vote of support on my nomination to become an administrator (and for the accompanying piece of artwork on my talk page :)). I passed, and my floor rag has since been bestowed upon me. Please let me know if you need me to help with anything in particular! —BrianSmithson 16:10, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Johann Wolfgang's RfA

Thank you for your support on my RfA. If my RfA passes I will use my new abilities with the common interest in mind. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

[edit] Rehab and RfA

Dear Private Butcher. I'm very pleased to read on your user page that you're going to rehab. You're doing the right thing, and I really hope it works out well. I wanted to tell you also that it's likely I'll have an RfA some time soon. I know that you still vote in them, and I know from comments you've made there that you have certain standards about how many edits a wikipedian should have over a certain period. I want to assure you that I will not resent it in the least if you oppose my nomination. I thought I should tell you that, as we have sent each other messages in the past, and I wouldn't like you to feel in any way uncomfortable about it. Anyway, that's a less important issue – what really matters is that you must do what you can to get well. And remember – your wiki-friends will be thinking of you. Ann Heneghan ^(talk) 18:48, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Hello again. Someone is going to nominate me, I think. And do keep us updated on how you're getting on. I'll be keeping an eye on your userpage. By the way, Gordon has a job now, and is too busy to edit Wikipedia very much. Good luck. Ann Heneghan ^(talk) 19:39, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Just replying to say i got your message about signatures. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll be using the tilde signs from now on... xompanthy 00:02, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for supporting me for adminship. The RfA passed today. I look forward to working with you to make Wikipedia a better place. --Nlu 04:09, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] More well wishes

Hi there Private Butcher. Although you and I have never spoken I see you around all the time. I just read your post on the stress alerts page about going into rehab, I also read the uh, "threat" and I dont want to be butchered:-)! I would like to pass on my very best wishes to you. By the way, when someone nominates you for adminship please let me know, ok? Anyway, hope all goes well for you. All the best. Banes 07:17, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] User:EddieSegoura

You realise this guy has had a self-vanity deleted twice, and one more under the Wikipedia: namespace? ;) NSLE _{(讨论+extra)} 04:04, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

He just probably needs quite a bit of time to learn. I can forsee a third or 4th RfA getting shot down (for the next few weeks at least), though. IT's good that you have faith in him. NSLE _{(讨论+extra)} 04:09, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Umm no. I wouldn't repost a 3rd RfA so soon. The 2nd RfA was not listed and was to be saved for a later date. I did state in the 2nd RfA that I would wait a month if it was unsuccessful. EddieSegoura 04:26, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Eddie, your second RfA WAS unsuccessful, an admin closed it, no more votes are being accepted to it. Private Butcher, that's cool that you're onto NS now. Good luck ;) NSLE _{(讨论+extra)} 04:27, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

I'd like to say you've done an admirable job of Assuming Good Faith too, Private! Well done. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:31, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your comments on Me signing up to be an Admin User

Hiya, Quentin (Private Butcher) I understand You posted a comment on My second attempt to sign up for Administrator priviledges. While I clearly created the page. I did not intend to have people vote so soon. I did leave My name off the list so I could simply add My name when I was ready to try again. I hope this clears up the confusion. EddieSegoura 04:22, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the welcome - question

Hi Quentin,

Thanks for the welcome. I actually have a question -- the pages I'm contributing to / stubbing out involve bicycle paths in the Los Angeles area where some of the content is from peoples' personal experiences riding along those paths. I'm keeping a careful eye toward neutral POV as I edit (though sometimes the initial raw posts are not neutral, I've been keeping an eye on revising that as quickly as I can), but the nature of the data being posted is first-hand experience.

Does this go against the "no original sources" pillar? It seems like it goes against the letter of it, but in spirit we're essentially creating snapshots of bicycle paths, the nature of which is much like original photographs or maps. We're not posting theories or opinions (more correctly, we're weeding those out as quickly as we can), and all of the information certainly fits the verifiability test.

Please advise ... I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Regards,

Tom guyette 06:37, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Thanksgiving!

SWD316 19:06, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hey Quentin, something I must mention

Firstly, I hope you're enjoying NationStates.

More importantly, though, go look up Eddie's talk page. He's having severe difficulty understanding WP:NOT, and look at the new section I created about his (alleged?) sockpuppetry. Cheers, and happy Thanksgiving. NSLE _{(讨论+extra)} 05:12, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Let me just mention you're doing a FABULOUS job of assuming good faith. I want to help him too, but it looks difficult, especially if he doesn't want to take advice. NSLE _{(讨论+extra)} 05:44, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

He replied now, but I'm losing hope. NSLE _{(讨论+extra)} 06:27, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[1] He's going to get hit on WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA soon, I'm afraid. NSLE _{(讨论+extra)} 08:14, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

ADDON: I've consulted some others, and they've all recommended WP:AN/I... NSLE _{(讨论+extra)} 08:17, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

A general comment has been made by Kim at WP:AN, and Eddie seems to have calmed down a little thanks to that. Hopefully, ANI won't be needed. Oh, and since I got one, you deserve one too.

I'd like to thank you for your support of my RfA.

What would you like to know? Hyacinth 10:38, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Many thanks from Ann

Hello again, Private Butcher. I just want to thank you for your support – indeed, for being the first support vote – on my RfA. As I said earlier, I wouldn't have minded at all if you had opposed me, because I know that you have certain standards about how much time an admin should give to Wikipedia, and I don't think I meet those standards. Even more importantly, I want to say that I hope you're well and that you're recovering nicely. I'm sorry you've had so much pain in your life, and hope that some good times are in store for you. Remember your friends on Wikipedia are thinking of you. AnnH ^(talk) 19:03, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
