[edit] Hello
I see you cleared Your talk page. How have You been? -- EddieSegoura 04:31, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Halibutt's RfA
As my RfA voting failed with 71% support, I don't plan to reapply for adminship any more. However, I hope I might still be of some help to the community. Cheers! Halibutt 05:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Did you mean I should remove the Afd, or speedy the page? ;-) The Land 19:29, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Essjay and Esperanza
Why did you revert my removal of the part of the notice. Essjay ain't coming back, he doesn't want to, just leave him alone. Jesus H. Christ. Quentin Pierce 01:48, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- I reverted it because it goes against the spirit of Esperanza: that's the whole point of the association, to have a support system for when stuff like this happens. I'll re-revert if you do it again. Titoxd(?!?) 01:58, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
What is your deal?? Why would you say something like that to Essjay, one of our most valued contributors? That's just rubbing salt in the wounds of everyone who is sad to see him go. "Don't tell him not to leave"? Ever hear of courtesy and civilty? You don't say that when there is an obvious problem going on. Yes, we realize Essjay is leaving, and whether or not he comes back is only hindered by you. It makes you come off as being resentful, and, in a manner, spiteful of a great editor. I really can't see why you would even think it is a smart idea to post that. At least wait until the emotions have gone, before revealing your feelings. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. -Mysekurity 21:21, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

- I'm not going to pretend I am not upset by your actions, and I hope you enjoy your wikibreak, but please let me clarify before this goes too far. Essjay is leaving. We know that. That doesn't mean we don't want him to go, nor does it necessarily mean he wants to go either. The whole point of saying goodbye or extending hopes of swift return is simply courtesy. I want Essjay to stay, but I know he will most likely be leaving, and though it pains me, I have to accept that. By you saying to let him go in peace, it makes you sound like to care nothing for the man, and seems rather uncivil, which is not to say you meant it that way. Essjay was a great editor, and his leaving was and is a grave sadness in the community. It is not that we want to hassle him on his way out, we are all merely asking that he reconsider, and frankly, by you posting that comment, that would not make me feel welcome. A mind is very malleable, and we had hoped he might reconsider, once he saw how much the community cared for him. A comment like yours proves the opposite. I did not mean to attack you, but please understand how that would make you feel if I said "Private Butcher's leaving, who cares?" or "let's throw a party, as if nothing happened". It wouldn't make you feel too good, would it? I hope you enjoy your break, and fully look foreward to working with you upon your return. Happy editing, Mysekurity 04:24, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Talk page
That's not my point. Your comments on Tito's page were out of line, and would be so at any time. I kind of agree with you over the notice on the Esperanza page, I think if people really feel they should ask him to come back (like many do) they will know full well what to do. But I'm off to bed now, and am not about to revert war on a page designed to bring people together. And by the way I respect Essjay, that is precisely why I am so stressed about this whole thing. the wub "?!" 02:35, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] My RfB
Hi Quentin (or whatever your name is; you seem to rotate your signature name quite a bit), I thought since I have a little spare time, I would reply to your comment on my RfB. Initially I planned to write a unique response just for you, but then I realised you just dittoed what Rdsmith4 said, so I'll just repost a modified version of my comments on his talk.
Mainly, I've avoided janitorial duties in the past months because of my limited internet access (as I explained), and I of course place a higher priority on improving and writing articles than janitorial duties. However, because I now have internet access at home, I have a lot more spare time to help out on Wikipedia, as evinced by my closing of AfD debates over the past few days. (Most of them were controversial because I focused on the backlog; all the easy ones had been taken by other admins already.) I already helped clear out some the "easy" debates today on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2005 November 25, and now I'm itching to find some other thing to do because I have *a lot* of free time on my hands (I have at least three or four more hours left with nothing to do before going to bed). Going through the RFA talk archives, I noticed that Uninvited Company (another bureaucrat) said it takes about half an hour to close one RFA debate. Usually I spend two or three hours a day closing AFD debates, which works out to four to six RFAs a day, without impacting my contributions to the article space at all. Maybe the need for new 'crats isn't that bad, but I'm sure Rdsmith4 and the other 'crats would appreciate the extra half an hour or two with a few extra ones helping out. Just some thoughts, and best regards. Johnleemk | Talk 12:37, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you for the welcome...
Thank you for the welcome Quentin. I have been reading many of the Wikipedia Editing help pages. I hope I have been doing the correct things. I love Wikipedia and want to help make it better. :)

[edit] Classic Rock
Hello. I was wondering if you would like to participate in my classic rock survey. I'm trying to find the most liked classic rock song. There is more information on my user page. Hope you participate! RENTASTRAWBERRY FOR LET? röck 01:33, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you!
Hi Private Butcher,
I would like to thank you for your kind support on my RfA. I'll do my best to be a good administrator. If you need anything, or if I ever do something wrong with my new powers, please contact me. Mushroom 16:45, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[edit] No shady talk messages ;)
[edit] Thanks
Thanks for voting to support my RfA. I wasn't expecting an unopposed promotion (I thought I'd hit some die-hard edit-counters at least) and I'm touched by the trust shown in me. I'll try my best to continue to earn that trust. But first, I'll have to work on not sounding like a politician; that last sentence was awful. Oh well. Let me know when I screw something up with the shiny new buttons. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 05:29, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] RfA thanks
I would like to thank you for your support of my recent successful RfA. If you have any further comments or feedback for me, my door's open - don't hesistate to drop a note on my talk page. Happy editing! Enochlau 11:09, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Shreshth91's RfA
Hello Private Butcher,
[edit] Template:nmc
I put up that template for TfD, because its already covered by other speedy delete notices. I also think if this template gets deleted, you should delete your page of "Non Meaningful Content", because it doesn't really work with WP:CSD, which you should probably take a look at. In The Flesh?
what are you talking about?
[edit] Thanks!
Now that my RfA is fully and officially completed, I want to thank you for your support. I appreciate your confidence that I can do the job. -- SCZenz 18:15, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] RFA for TheParanoidOne
Hello Private Butcher. Thanks for the vote of confidence in my RFA. I have now officially received the badge, so I shall try my best to be a good administrator. Thanks again. --TheParanoidOne 20:01, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Mindmatrix scam adminship
I have recently been granted greater access to your systems, and can begin the process of salvaging the sensitive information from my politically unstable land, as I promised. Please accept this loonie as a token of faith that I will conduct myself as required to complete our transaction. Thank you for your support. Mindmatrix 20:19, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cnwb's RfA
Private Butcher,
Thanks so very much for supporting my Request for Admin. The final result was 38/0/0. I'm looking forward to spending my summer holidays shut away in a darkened room, drinking G&Ts and playing with my new tools ;-) Please accept this Tim Tam as a token of my gratitude. Cnwb 22:32, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[edit] The Land's RfA
You wrote: "Neutral barely over a month since last RfA, would oppose, but I'd probably get guff for it. Quentin Pierce 22:07, 6 December 2005 (UTC)" My question is, why do you think you'd be criticised for opposing? People shouldn't mind if you just speak what you feel is right. You are allowed to have your own opinion here on Wikipedia. And try not and take things so personal. Chin up. --LV (Dark Mark) 22:20, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
- Well, while I might not agree with what you say, I'll defend to my death your right to say it. Opposing for time since last RfA is a very valid reason, and has been used fairly often. If someone criticises you, you tell them to come mess with me. Cheers. --LV (Dark Mark) 14:17, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] BD2412's RFA
Although my RfA is not over yet, I figured that since so many people voted before it had been posted, I may as well start thanking people before it wraps up. Thank you for your mindblowing support - I'll do my best as an admin to make the reality rise to the level of the dream. BD2412 T 05:00, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] I'm an admin now!!
Hi, thanks a ton for your support vote, I've become an admin with the final tally of 50-0-0. I'll do my best in upholding the integrity of Wikipedia. Thanks again. --Gurubrahma 11:56, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Hi
I haven't heard from You. I'm glad to say all those misadventurs have been put behind Me now. (check My talk page). I wonder if You'd still be offended if I ran for RfA in a few months -- plenty of time to make a good reputation. (After all, I see people getting promoted every day.) I already have a few good edits. I've added photos to subway car articles: R143, R40, R68, and R32. I also created an article for Henry Bigg, the guy that interacts with The Littles. What do You think? -- Eddie 20:47, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
- Well, whether or not I get to be an Admin. I'm glad to say things have died down. Insted of revert wars, I'm adding pictures. I've done so to four of the pages Subway Cars that are currently in service. I've also corrected a few spelling mistakes on the pages. -- Eddie 16:32, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] My RfA
Quentin, thanks for your support on my RfA. The final count was 46/0/0. I hope I'll live up to your faith in me in my use of the mop and bucket. Please accept this wikithanks as a token of my gratitude ;) --bainer (talk) 00:39, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Early RFA thanks
Hi Private Butcher/User talk Archive 6,
Thank you very much for your support on my RfA. It has done very well and is currently at 67/0/2. As such, I am posting this in advance of its closure. If I can ever help with anything or if you have any comments about my actions as an admin, please let me know. Thank you once again! – NSLE (T+C+CVU) 01:02, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[edit] Removal of speedy deletion tag
I noticed that you slapped a nn-bio tag on Patricia Forestier last month, but the creator immediately removed it an no one was any the wiser. I put the tag back on, but I'm curious how this process is supposed to work. How do admins know when you put the speedy deletion tag on? I was unclear after reading Wikipedia:speedy deletions. --JeremyStein 16:50, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Pathoschild's successful RfA
Thanks a lot for your support on my request for adminship; it passed with 23/0/0 (plus one duplicate support and an oppose from a vandal IP). I'll do my best to exceed everyone's expectations. ^^ // Pathoschild 19:46, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Happy Christmastide from Ann
Dear Private Butcher, it's too late to wish you a happy Christmas Day (I've been at the computer less than usual in the last few days), but I'm wishing you a very happy and peaceful Christmas season, and I hope very much that all is going well for you. Blessings. AnnH (talk) 16:55, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] RfA thanks from Deathphoenix
Hi Quentin,
I just wanted to thank you for supporting me in my RfA. To tell you the truth, I was surprised by all the support I've gotten. I never saw myself as more than an occasional Wiki-hobbyist.
My wife sends her curses, as Wikipedia will likely suck up more of my time. She jokingly (I think) said she was tempted to log on to Wikipedia just to vote Oppose and let everyone know that she didn't want her husband to be an admin.
I'll make sure your trust in me is founded. --Deathphoenix 15:13, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] My RfA
Hi Private Butcher, now that I'm an administrator, I just wanted to thank you for your support on my RfA. I hope to see you around both here and on Simple. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:41, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Happy New Year, Quentin!
I know it's a little late, but I want to wish You a happy 2006. Check out My 2006 page. I'm really going to try hard to be a good editor so maybe a few people will trust Me the next time I run for an RfA. If You'd like to help Me hone My skills, I'd really appreciate it. -- Eddie 02:39, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocking vandalizer
Can you please block IP address 203.148.187.196 from editing WP pages? Apparantly, he has been vandalizing pages with vulger references to sex. See for example history page for Magnetic field. Thanks. -- Metacomet 13:10, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome back
Hello, Private Butcher. I'm very glad to see your name appearing. I had often wondered how you were in the last few months. I kept your page on my watchlist, and reverted vandalism a few times. Hope that your life will bring you some blessings, and that the treatment has been successful. Blessings. AnnH ♫ 20:06, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Quentin, welcome from me as well -- and try to look on the positive side of the vandalism, at least good people were watching and reverting quickly. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 20:12, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi, good to see you around again. Hope your break went well, and don't worry about the vandals, they don't stand a chance :-) the wub "?!" 20:35, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Easy buddy, no one is trying to vandalize an encyclopedia. I have never been here before and had no idea you could actually edit the content on these pages. However, it sounds awefully fun... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.178.76.149 (talk • contribs) 05:49, 28 April 2006.
[edit] Vandalism to your user page
Hello, Quentin. There has been more childish vandalism to your user page, so I rolled it back, and as it seems to be a repeated occurrence, I've semi-protected the page, which means it can't be edited by unregistered or newly-registered users. Let me know if that isn't what you want. And can I say again, it's great to see that you're back. I found myself wondering if you were okay several times earlier this year after you stopped editing.

[edit] Favorite Songs
My survey has changed. I am now continuing my mission for the best songs, but now I am accepting all genres. I'm giving you a chance to revote for your top ten favorite songs of any genres (not just classic rock which is still the best). I've made a executive decision to keep the existing survey results and just add on to that with the new entries. My feeling for doing this is because classic rock is the most influential genre in music currently so it should be expressed more in the survey. Thank you for contributing in the past, and hopefully in the future. ROCK ON. RENTASTRAWBERRY FOR LET? röck 03:24, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image Tagging Image:Terrencestampiszod.jpg
 |
|
Thanks for uploading Image:Terrencestampiszod.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey 10:54, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
