[edit] Your message

Hi Silsor,

Thanks for your message. Yeah, there are some truly 'interesting' people out there. ;) I'd be very interested to read the mailing list message that you refer to. I have no problem with any of your edits - certainly not on NPOV grounds. I'm inclined to disagree with your removal of that particular section, but I will give myself time to mull over your reasons, and will consider them carefully. Best wishes, Jakew 19:18, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately the email is confidential. But I can tell you that it was someone who was concerned with the criticism in the article, which is why I wanted to go over it. silsor 19:21, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm not entirely surprised that these people would be concerned about criticism. Activist organisations and NPOV policy are not the most compatible companions. I've altered the paragraph now, keeping the quote, but with a better source. Jakew 12:44, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

To be fair Jake, you should disclose the fact that you are a member of a pro-circumcision activist organization Circlist. -- DanBlackham 16:12, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Howdy

Just came around to give a kind "hello" to you. :O) I would like to respect remorse for the disconvenience that the trolling group GNAA has had upon Wikipedia (be it minor of critical, I don't know) and yourself. I can only guess, but I can't tell what you think or believe without knowing. On a further note, even with any affiliation before and now with the GNAA, I do not plan on trolling Wikipedia. I don't blame you if you do not believe me.

Also, I have read a few of your subpages and noticed a few quotes, many of which I enjoyed was:

• "Wikipedia may never define, only describe." - I find this very intrigueing, and thinking this often helps "opens my mind" when thinking about an article.

One that I semi-agree with is this:

• "Wikipedia would function much better if all the administrators were women."

I find woman in alot of cases alot more focused then alot of men out there, from a real sociological aspect. But through common sense, I must call you a FEMINIST!

Keep it cool, you seem like a real devoted person. --Depakote 22:08, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spoken articles

Hello! I am seeking assistance in getting involved in the spoken articles project. I noticed your name on the project page and was hoping you might be able to help. Other than downloading Audacity, I have yet to get into the project; I need some guidance on equipment and how to use the software. Any help you could provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Paul 21:31, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Katelyn Faber

Could you weigh in at the bottom of the Talk Page for Katelyn Faber regarding the inclusion of an image of her? User:Tufflaw, who unsuccessfully tried to have the entire article deleted back in December 2005 insists on censoring/deleting it for extremely specious reasons, and I've been asked to gather a consensus. Please read the bottom two sections of that page. Thanks. Nightscream 18:44, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] meta:User:Psychonaut account

I assume you're the same Silsor as meta:User:Silsor; if so, could you please send me the password to the meta:User:Psychonaut account, as per your offer at meta:User talk:Psychonaut? Thanks! —Psychonaut 01:14, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Greetings, saw you in the rule-room, and just dropped in to say a big hello. --Bhadani 16:00, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help

hey silsor, i was wondering if you could help me. ive drawn a picture for the article phototransduction which ive scanned into my computer. however, it was saved as a .pdf, and i dont know how to change it so that it can be displayed on a wikipedia page. thanks, Benji64 02:50 3 April 2006 (UTC)

You should scan it as a JPG instead of a PDF. silsor 04:35, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Germar Rudolf

Are you still watching his article? --tickle me 17:54, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't use that watchlist much. silsor 21:00, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hey silsor, thanks for responding so promptly on IRC today. NitishP 23:55, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marine barracks

In response to your comments: what you posted was correct, but your changes made it seem like the air strikes were in response to the barracks bombing. In fact, they were in response to Syrian SAM attacks on American aircraft. This is also covered in the Multinational Force in Lebanon article. PBP 03:15, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] “Word quotation marks” on Cocaine

Those aren't Word's quotation marks (which are in the invalid zone of Unicode), they are ones which I inserted using the "insert" box underneath the textarea. Please do not remove them again! I spent a long time putting them in :/ —porges_(talk) 00:00, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ummm...

... Silsor, could I get your permission to speedy delete Image:Comedy.png? I'm sure you don't mean this, but it looks like a personal attack against Everyking. - Ta bu shi da yu 11:10, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, since you think so, go ahead. silsor 22:49, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I find your lack of faith... disturbing.

Dear Silsor,

Thanks for voting on my RFA! I appreciate your comments and constructive criticism, for every bit helps me become a better Wikipedian. I've started working on the things you brought up, and I hope that next time, things run better; who knows, maybe one day we'll be basking on the shore of Admintopia together. Thanks and cheers, _-M o P-_ 22:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome back

Welcome back to the world of adminship; you know what you're doing, so I wont leave the usual stuff. My sincerest congratulations on your re-promotion. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 03:17, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations! etc. Jude (talk,contribs,email) 03:20, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I would also like to (re-)congratulate you. — nathanrdotcom ^{(Got something to say? Say it.)} 03:22, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Congrats.--MONGO 11:43, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Condolences, and you should see a pshrink ;-) Sad to see you leave the world of retired admins, what made you change your mind? (Also, congrats on passing though! :-) ) Kim Bruning 13:50, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi guys, and thanks for the support. I'm not too visible right now because I just moved twice and started my new job on spring crew at Ontario Pioneer Camps. Hope to tackle some jobs on the weekend if I can get the wlan card working again. silsor 22:05, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Well done and have fun on camp. :) - Mark 00:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Interesting!

Nice talking to you. And, the above is really interesting stuff. You are right. --Bhadani 13:11, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your entry in Wikipedia:Recently_created_admins

Hi Silsor. I was browsing the backlinks of my userpage and I found that page on the list. I can't believe Knucmo2 actually used one of my comments against your RFA or whatever you wikipedians call that thing. I don't remember the reason why I wrote that comment but knowing myself I probably exagerated the issue and so I'm sorry that my comment ended up there. -- Femmina 03:02, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name or nickname

Hi,

I saw your user page and wanted to ask something on adding pictures to commons. What is the intended use of the author field? I use the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 2.5 license (seemed the best option to me) but do not know if I should add my loginname or my real name as the author?

What does the wikipedia etiquette say about this? Or what is your idea about this?

TNX a 1.0E6 greetings from Belgium

--Wintermute314 20:21, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Wintermute, the Author field tells users of your image how to attribute the image. If you are comfortable using your real name and having it copied elsewhere then I would recommend using your real name. However, I don't think there is any reason you can't use your login name. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. silsor 23:15, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request For Mediation or Intervention

Silsor,

I apologize, but I am a newbie to Wikipedia (which is probably blatantly obvious in my post) but was wondering if you could help me. Would you be interested in moderating or intervening a dispute over whether the posts by user FebrileCortex in the article on Todd Russell Platts is a violation of Wikipedia's NPOV rules. I won't go into my argument here, but you can view it on the discussion page of this article. I have requested on both FebrileCortex's user talk page as well as the discussion page for the Platts article that he/she discuss this issue with me and offer their opinion as to why the posts are not a NPOV violation. FebrileCortex has not responded to me but continues to change the page in a way which blatantly violates the NPOV rules in my opinion.

Whatever action you could take to resolve this dispute would be much appreciated. Thanks,--Nsb2119 03:44, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I deleted something you uploaded

• 22:38, 17 June 2006 Tony Sidaway deleted "Image:Wikipedia-lackeys.svg" (Oy vay, it dies)

I'm sorry but I thought that was in such poor taste that, even though you uploaded it in good faith, it had to die. Images can now be undeleted, however. --Tony Sidaway 22:57, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Political correctness strikes again! silsor 16:55, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hurry up

Hurry up and get that full-time work out of the way :) Wikipedia's not the same without you around. - Mark 17:16, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome back, Silsor. Raul654 01:37, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Yay! :D - Mark 02:26, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Today's featured article

Just wanted to let you know a featured article you worked on, 0.999..., was featured today on the Main Page. Tobacman 00:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Der Giftpilz - Gott des Juden - Nazi propaganda.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Der Giftpilz - Gott des Juden - Nazi propaganda.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 02:23, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] OPC 2

Hey!,

This is Gator from OPC. I just started to get into Wikipedia and I created an article call Ontario Pioneer Camp I read on your talk page that you may have already created an OPC article?

Hey Gator, good to see you on Wikipedia. There was an older article on Ontario Pioneer Camps written by Ben Fregeau but it was deleted (the notability was challenged and nobody contested it.) But I think Pioneer has a good shot at being considered notable considering how established and reputable it is in the camping business. silsor 17:40, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

You can add something about Boys' Camp if you are so inclinced. I'm loving wikipedia but learning how to be a user has been slow going. Anyway, good to see some people know what they're doing. DarthGator 00:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
