[edit] Israel News Agency Reaches Over 60 Million

Please reconsider your vote for deletion of article re: Michele Shohatovitz. This health care professional is well known and respected in Israel. If she does work for the Israel News Agency, then she is an author who has a reach of well over 5,000 people (according to Alexa the INA reaches up to 60 million readers) which qualifies her as a notable. Thank you Idf-barak 14:25, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] May the Force be with you.

Dear Bucketsofg/Archive 3,

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. Thanks and cheers, _-M o P-_ 21:48, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Hello Bucketsofg/Archive 3, and thanks for supporting me on my recent request for adminship! It has succeeded with an unanimous support of 67 votes, so that I am now an administrator. Please feel free to leave a note on my talk page should you wish to leave any comments or ask for any help. Again, thanks a lot, AndyZ t 21:54, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

Hello, Bucketsofg/Archive 3, and thank you for vote on my recent RfA! With a final vote of 62/2/4, I have now been entrusted with the mop, bucket and keys. As I acclimate myself to my new tools, feel free to let me know how you believe I might be able to use them to help the project. Thanks again! RadioKirk talk to me 05:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] World War I

I know you know what you're doing, so this isn't meant to be critical or instructional, just funny. Thought you might get a laugh (albeit at your own expense) out of seeing the version you reverted to here. I've made the same mistake of not reverting far enough, too, so it made me chuckle. Anyway, thanks for your good vandalism patrolling and happy editing! Kafziel 17:05, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

LOL. Yes, I saw that at the time, but by the time I got to it someone had reverted it already. When two IP addresses vandalize together like that (they were identical except for the last digits: probably two friends sitting next to one another in the school library), they can really muck up the reversion tools. Best! Bucketsofg✐ 17:15, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for voting in my RfA!

I *really* appreciate your caution, and wanted to thank you for the vote in my RfA. It did not gain consensus, but I'm glad I accepted the nom! - Amgine 17:13, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stock Sr.

I reverted the edit because not all of SD Sr.'s right-wing ties were "separatist" as such -- some were, some weren't. It might be possible to clarify the wording further, but the IP's edit seemed to be censoring or concealing information. CJCurrie 20:45, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey thanks, I didn't know my flag was contraband!

Although I REALLY love my flag, I honestly had no idea that a flag was innapropriate. I will drop it after this message. I have to admit, doing so will make me sad, as I just today figured out how to do that. Oh well. Hey...is that rule posted anywhere. Thanks again, Kukini 23:20, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Done...thanks again. Kukini 23:23, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Also, thank you for showing me that page. I really have been working on reading up on all the rules. It takes some time to get to know them all. Best, Kukini 23:48, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Hi Bucketsofg/Archive 3,

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.

Cheers

[edit] A barnstar for you...Aaah a bear!!!!

I thought of giving you a barnstar for the absolutely hilarious song you made, but just as I was bringing it here it when this FRICKIN BEAR ATE IT ! Anyway I've caught & placed the culprit on your page, see if you can get him to regurgiate your Barnstar; although try it when I'm not around, okay I'm kinda queasy nowadays :0 Srikeit^{(talk ¦ ✉)} 16:44, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your song

Your RFA Candidate Song is freakin' awesome! Congratulations! —Mets501^talk 19:42, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I also think that it is one of the best things ever. Great job on the performance, too. I still haven't stopped laughing... :o) As I lamented at the Esperanza coffee lounge, I just wish I had some real life friends who could "get it"... EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 04:16, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Word on the street is

That you're up on Polyknees ethnologists. There is a guy called Edward S. Craighill Handy, American I think, involved in migration theories of the early twentieth century according to this [1]. Handy might - might I say - be another article for you. Another guy who thought the Polys came from India I think. BTW I'm rewriting Kupe in case you hadn't noticed. The truth is much more complex (yet more simple too) than the 'standard version'. Often the case with Poly myths. Hence my impatience with crap articles that slightly triggered the Great AfD of March. (Tho I must admit Grutness' swift action kinda took me by surprise - but it all worked out in the end yaada yaada). Kahuroa 04:36, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

My 'polyknees' was a veiled reference to the song. Us Polynesians are like that - indirect. Awesome song dude. Tho I'd have gone for the White Stripes personally rather than G&S. Sounds like a deserving cause - rfA I mean. OK to mention me/just make me sound good Kahuroa 04:54, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rfa

I just wanted to say that I think that you would be a great admin., and I'm proud to be your first supporting vote. If you need any help on anything, just let me know. Your friend, Thetruthbelow^(talk) 05:32, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your RfA

I've added a question to your RfA. When you have a minute I'd appreciate if you would take a look at it. Thanks. JoshuaZ 05:34, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

By the way, Flo has added another question to your RfA. JoshuaZ 02:16, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The song

The song is really brilliant! --Bhadani 14:46, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your note about my little song. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had originally written it to be a wiki-education game--see how many articles you can edit and make a link from a reference in the song. Once I got to the admin stuff, I decided to turn it into a mock self-nomination. I may go back and gamify it later. Bucketsofg✐ 14:59, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Bucketsofg - 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. Rama's Arrow 19:55, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Hehehehehe - I don't think you read my thanks note in full. This was the easiest decision for me. On the contrary, I will sleep better now. Please let me know if/when I can be of assistance. Rama's Arrow 20:08, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Yet another "I really enjoyed your song". greetings from the german wikipedia, --Elian ^Talk 01:13, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Polynesian AFDs

That's not quite how it happened (you came in part way through the process), so I've added a note at the RFA. I've added my thumbs-up vote, too :) Grutness...wha? 05:55, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tandem Reverting of Vandalism

Was fun to do some tandem work with ya. Hope you are doing well. Kukini 17:58, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moo!

Any time, B! That was quite the vandal, btw, tho I had to admit the brat managed to make me laugh. Btw, I thought I had already voted at your RfA - the cowguy made me realize I didn't, so I guess... we should actually thank him! Kisses, Phaedriel ♥ tell me - 21:28, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I left a question on your RFA. regards, FloNight ^talk 02:17, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA Thank You!

Thanks Bucketsofg,

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. 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 16:46, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for fixing my User page while I was keeping up with a vandal. One prolific little guy, wasn't he? -- TBadger 17:41, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal

Dude, there's some guy vandalising Rongorongo and other pages. Kahuroa 18:24, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Oops - I think his edits are ok - I was fooled by the stupid HAHAHAHA stuff, 'try blocking me etc' in his edit summaries Kahuroa 19:14, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit of The Catlins

I appreciate your watchfulness of the editing that is being done, but I would like to point out that the changes I made to the Catlins post were not destructive, but were instead removing content that was neither applicable nor appropriate. Having a random picture of a man with a caption of "You can tell this guy eats semen," doesn't belong on that page. I deleted this picture, removed the caption, and deleted another line of text that had definite sexual connotations. Just providing a defense for my edits, thanks again for being cautious and looking into things, Kreyth

[edit] RE: WP:BEANS

LOL! Yes, I was parodying a recent topic at WP:AN (I wish I was better at searching archives). Someone created a humour page in huge text for old Wikipedians, just because it was a redlink on AN :P. Anyway, it's always nice to get messages. Regards, --Celestianpower ^háblame 19:53, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You seem quite judgemental

You would be ill advised to continue your comments on me. Kahuroa didn't respond to your message on my "needing to be watched", yet he doesn't appear to think that I am teenage filth that is trying to flirt with the line. And you have crossed yours.

Sincerely,

[edit] Re : 1FA

Thanks for your comments on the criterion, yes it is meant to encourage all-roundedness in admins-to-be, as well as a drive for editors to improve those ones that are 'almost-there'.

Anyway, got a favourite topic in your mind? Make it a featured article! I can tell you, that the feeling of seeing the article through featured status will give you much more satisfaction than earning votes. :) - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 19:02, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Thank you, Bucketsofg, 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 ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:13, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi there Bucketsofg, just thought that you might like to know that your Request for Adminship vote tally puts you at 100 Support, which means that you will be part of WP:100!

I just thought I'd swing by and tell you that I'm pretty obsessed with your song. I just had to heard it sung, so I finally fixed up my computer to handle the ogg files.

I thought it would be nice to drop by. What a nice coincidence! - Anyway, this is a nice place, I find. That's because the pages which need deleting are pretty obvious. You'll see things like "asdfasdfasdf" sometimes too - those are fun to delete. It's useful to check the page histories, but after a while, you sort of get a feel for which ones are definite quick speedies and such. --HappyCamper 15:15, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First Page

Dear Bucketsofg,

I'm so special, I made a page! Well, a stub. It's on a karate kata called Kopasho, and I was wondering if you knew anyone who could get it out of stubhood. It's really fun to perform, and it would be nice to have something good on it here. Cheers!

P.S. Don't google it, it'll only come up with a request to unblock me.

Sincerely,

Little person Mbrutus

[edit] And so we meet again

Hey Buckets, nice to see where you have been hiding out. How do I get that box that you have on your front page that says "this user is evil and says mwhuahaha a lot". I want it. Somena 21:07, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scansion

I just noticed your G&S parody - not the full-length one, the short snippet that you posted to thank people for their support on your RfA. I hate to tell you this, but, well... you got the scansion wrong. The second line should be "thank you for your support".

"the count is in and now I join the crew who wield the mops and pails
thank you for your support, I pledge to serve both you and Jimbo Wales."

You see?

Normally I'd just let this go, but you've gone to all the trouble to be syllabically exact with your parodies...

Anyway. DS 13:49, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blnguyen's RfA

Hello Bucketsofg. Thank you for your support and gracious comment at my request for adminship which ended at the overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0), and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation. You can see me in action and observe what then happened as a result. Naturally, if I make any procedural mistakes, feel free to point them out. I look forward to working with you in the future, perhaps after borrowing the fancy broom. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 02:52, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paging Buckets

Paging Mr.Buckets... Mr.Buckets please report to the [Red Courtesy Phone] I've put up a vandal box recording the number of times that my own personal page has been vandalized and how many times the Somena page has been vandalized. I'm being told that it's not appropriate by user Skookum1, and he insists that the vandalism that has occured on Somena entry is not vandalism and is merely edits. Could you review and give your considered opinion. I note that none of these attacks/edits on the Somena page occured until a certain you KKKnow who discovered my identity was not Edward T Bear, and teamed up with some others to try and rattle me. The Somena page sat, completely untouched for months until that took place. Now every few months somebody (usually anonymous) makes a stupid little jab, or remark or insults my family members or me on it.

Is it considered bad form to have a vandal box on an entry that is regularly being vandalized? What do you propose that I do about the on-going vandalism should it occur? I am trying to write a decent NPOV article about my Indigenous Nation, and it's very frustrating when this sort of thing keeps going on. Your looking into this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Buckets. :) Somena 00:36, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
