[edit] New sig

I currently have ""teh tennisman"" as the source code to my sig, but for some reason it won't let me make either my userpage or my talkpage an actual link-have i done something wrong? or is that just IE for ya'?tehtennisman 23:24, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

• lool-why did it start to work? haha-mi malo. tehtennisman 23:26, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your support!

23:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

If I'm a bit pale in the face now, it's because of the amazing support during my recent request for adminship and because of all those new shiny buttons. And if in the future my use of them should not always be perfect please don't hesitate to shout at me any time, sunset, noon or sunrise.

[edit] My RfA:

Thank you so very much for voting support in my RfA. However, I have withdrawn due to reasons that a stressed user would withdraw under. I'm sorry I have failed you & your expectations. Thanks, Spawn Man 09:03, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE:E@L and Kyoko

Hey. I don't want to start any rumors about E@L, so please don't say anything about it. By what I can guess, it looks like she or someone she knows may have been sexually abused by a teacher, and thus has entered an incredibly depressed state of clinical depression. She hasn't said anything and I don't want to speculate, but that's what I can guess happened. As for Kyoko, she's made no secret of it; as I think you know, she attempts to kill herself a while back and has been emotionally unstable for a while. She recently felt really bad and so checked herself into the hospital to make sure she didn't do something drastic like try to kill herself again. I really ask that you be sensitive about this and tread lightly. Thanks. DoomsDay349 02:26, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I understand, but what exactly is this in reference to? IRC? I'm trying to be as sensitive as possible and I don't want to drive anybody away due to any perceived insensitivity on my part. ~ crazytales_{(lol myspace)} 03:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Thank you for the extra feathers on my wings! Thank you so much, Crazytales56297, for your support in my RfA, which passed on November 11, 2006, with a final tally of 82/0/2. I am humbled by the kind support of so many fellow Wikipedians, and I vow to continue to work and improve with the help of these new tools. Should you have any request, do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Húsönd 21:35, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] E@L support Barnstar

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		Though what you did is not so random, I, on behalf of E@L, award you this barnstar for your support. Randfan 18:52, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] E@L and Kyoko

Ahh, they doth return. I feel so much better, and feel like we all did something good in helping them through their dark times. How about you? --teh tennisman 21:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I try my best to be a nice wikipedian, even though being nice will never get me adminship. I'm really thankful E@L and Kyoko are in the process of recovery and back on Wikipedia. ~ crazytales_{(speak to me)} 02:03, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shiny new buttons

One of the coolest RfA thanks messages I've seen. (: ~ crazytales_{-My talk-}^{-Your talk-} 00:51, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your comment at the EA MfD

"Why preserve the status quo? Like High School Musical says, ‘‘don't stick to the status quo!’’ (never thought I'd be quoting HSM...) " I never thought I'd hear you quote it either. I also thought I'd never quote it either. Haha, guess we were both wrong. We're breaking free! --teh tennisman 00:23, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Heh, my sister is doing HSM for her school play. I'm OD'd on it. ~ crazytales_{-My talk-}^{-Your talk-} 00:41, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

that's funny because C-A is doing it too. it starts tomorrow night, but i cant go b/c = Quiz Bowl. *laughs* i got interviewed for QB last week on our school tv channel; it sucked. haha, i finally figured out what i did wrong with my sig: nothing. i actually added one extra capitalisation when i needn't have. tell me what you think! --teh tennisman 01:21, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Cool. You guys have a school TV channel? Even cooler. ~ crazytales_{-My talk-}^{-Your talk-} 01:26, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it's called C² aka Cavalier Channel (C-A Cavs); broadcast on Thursdays in our seminar class. --teh tennisman 21:24, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh and btw, we finally have another QB D-1 and D-2 meet in mid-Dec., so I'll see you the 13th lolzorz! --teh tennisman 21:30, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits

"(Insert current bubblegum idol)" was fine, I have removed Hillary Duff from the page.

Ring modulator 15:44, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] k-line

I believe you were klined for putting a well-known shock site in the channel, not for testing a bot. Shadow1 (talk) 22:00, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

But I did it to test a bot. Intention is not considered? And what are you doing stalking xyr's talkpage? ~ crazytales_-talk- 22:04, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] thank you

02:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ArbCom questions

Hi. I'm Ral315, editor of the Wikipedia Signpost. We're doing a series on ArbCom candidates, and your response is requested.

1. What positions do you hold (adminship, mediation, etc.)?

1. Why are you running for the Arbitration Committee?

1. Have you been involved in any arbitration cases? In what capacity?

Please respond on my talk page. We'll probably go to press late Monday or early Tuesday (UTC), but late responses will be added as they're submitted. Thanks, Ral315 (talk) 01:58, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your wish finally came true; I'm an admin

I wasn't going to send thank-you cards, but the emotional impact of hitting WP:100 (and doing so unanimously!) changed my mind. So I appreciate your confidence in me (and willingness to nominate me long before I thought I was ready), and hope you'll let me know if I can do anything for you in the future. Cheers! -- nae'blis 22:23, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations!!! ~ crazytales_{-Stalk My Contribs!!!-} 23:45, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portfolio for ArbCom

On Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2006/Summary table, I added a column "Examples" with links that exhibit a candidate's arbitration skills. My motivation is that as a voter, I don't want to just rely on a candidate's words, but also see their actions. Moreover, I believe a portfolio of "model cases" to remember in difficult situations can be useful for each candidate, as well.

So far I have entered examples for the candidates who registered first (from their questions page), and I'm not sure if and when I will get to yours, so you may want to enter an example or two yourself. — Sebastian (talk) 00:52, 4 December 2006 (UTC)    (I stopped watching this page. If you would like to continue the talk, please do so here and let me know.)

[edit] RfA

I have only been blocked twice; this time was an accident; I was genuinely shocked to find that I had.

The first time was a broad interpretation of the ArbCom decision on Ultramarine. All involved editors were restricted in their conduct on two specific articles; Stifle blocked both of us, minimally, as a warning, for a dispute about one line in a third article. Neither of us had breached 3RR, or it would have been more than 90 minutes. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:22, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[assumes you posted this with a tabbed web browser on the wrong tab] Is this about your own RfA that finished some months ago? ~Crazytales56297 | t+c 18:26, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, this was intended for Crazyrussian, about my new, and less than successful RfA ; I'm not sure how i got here. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:30, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Hey, Chris, I just noticed this note on the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive45 page: "I'd like to butt in here and congratulate Merond e for being a civil editor. Good job. ~Chris Don't be evil. 17:15, 21 June 2006 (UTC)" I didn't notice it before, and I just want to say thanks for supporting me. I have been on Wikipedia a while now and can call myself an expert editor. I'm gonna go back to that reindeer article and see what I can do. --Merond e 10:27, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

No problem! I enjoy seeing civility. ~Crazytales56297 | t+c 01:25, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] archives

how long can one go until a new one needs to be started? because mine won't archive much (or hasn't lately) and I think its time for a new one. See you Wednesday at QuizBowl!--teh tennisman 01:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

No specific length. Just check the size of your archive and change the target in the werdnabot template if it's over 35kb. ~Crazytales56297 | t+c 01:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

by the by, your sig's talk link isn't working right here if you hadn't noticed; you've probably fixed that by now. and your rfa nom will be tonight when i have time. teh tennisman

It will work right when I post on a page other than my own talk. It just shows up as bold here because links to the same page show up as bold. ~Crazytales56297 | t+c 20:27, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Duh. Me stupid. RfA is coming-what do you want me to say about you though?--teh tennisman 21:29, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

You're better off deciding. ~Crazytales56297 | t+c 21:39, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I realize that. I'm writing it right now so in like 10 minutes you can accept. Also, we play either you or Kearsley tomorrow. Are u Varsity or Jayvee? Either way see ya. --teh tennisman 21:48, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Your turn to accept the nom and post it on the RfA page. Good luck, and godspeed. PS-I already put first support. --teh tennisman 21:55, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Damn chris that edit summary {no i will not suck your dick} is gonna kill your rfa. oh well. --teh tennisman 02:33, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Optimism is the best policy. Not upheld by you, I see. (: ~Crazytales56297 | t+c 12:20, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] That edit summary

Crazytales, that edit summary of yours was not appropriate and I have commented on your RfA that it would be helpful if you would promise that nothing like that will ever happen again. Having said that, I want you to know that you have my sympathy if you are having to deal at school with any kind of bullying or harassment. Plenty of the older editors here were also given a hard time at school on occasion when we were younger, myself among them, and I know it can't be fun. You will be happier if, in your own mind, you keep your comments on Wikipedia, even to the grossest vandals, civil and separate from any other sources of unhappiness you, like all of us, may encounter from time to time. Newyorkbrad 02:39, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the support, and replied more on the RFA. ~Crazytales56297 | t+c 12:19, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Automobiles Notification

Hi Crazytales56297, you were on the list of members at WikiProject Automobiles and we are introducing a new way of listing members, as the old list was becoming too long. Our new method involves having all of our members in a category.

To add yourself to the category just add the userbox to your user page by putting {{Wiki Auto Project}} where you want the userbox. Alternatively if you don't like the userbox you can add [[Category:WikiProject Automobiles members|Crazytales56297]] to your userpage.

If you no longer wish to be a member of the project, simply don't add the userbox or category, there's no pressure. Thanks for your time, James086^{Talk | Contribs} 05:02, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Userboxed already, and I still wish to be a member of the project. I just won't be incredibly active. My main area of contribution is photography. ~Crazytales56297 | t+c 12:22, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prior rfa

Hi, Crazytales. I did not see that you mention your prior rfa as Cchan199206. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 21:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Adminship

It is my regretful task to inform you that I have closed your request for adminship early as unlikely to achieve consensus. Please do not be discouraged; a number of users have had their first RfA end without consensus, but have been promoted overwhelmingly in a later request. Please continue to make outstanding contributions to Wikipedia, and consider requesting adminship again in the future. You may find Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship helpful in deciding when to consider running again. If I can be of any help to you, please do not hesitate to ask. Essjay (Talk) 11:05, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Username change

As you requested, your username has now been changed from Crazytales56297 to Crazytales. If you haven't done it already, please remember to move your user page and your talk page using the "move" tab on the upper right-hand side of your screen. In addition, your request to have the account "Crazytales" renamed was also fulfilled. That account is now at Crazytales2. Redux 11:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Pages moved, as well as user CSS and JS. ~Crazytales | 56297 00:34, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Why did you change your name anyway? --teh tennisman 17:14, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Not to speak for him, but I saw that someone in his RfA said that administrators should have easy-to-remember names, as opposed to a string of digits. Since Crazytales is going to try again for RfA in a few months and be successful this time, he probably figured that it was good to get that issue out of the way. Personally, I don't think it was a big problem, but what the heck. Regards, Newyorkbrad 17:18, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. --teh tennisman 18:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Exactly, NY Brad. ~crazytales·t·c 22:12, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits

w00t!!! I finally hit 1000 edits! ah, I breathe easier now. Haha, well, just thought I'd letcha know. --teh tennisman 16:34, 21 December 2006 (UTC)--teh tennisman 16:34, 21 December 2006 (UTC)--teh tennisman 16:34, 21 December 2006 (UTC) (ps: my sig pwns)

Congratulations on reaching 1000 edits. ~crazytales (t·c) 01:59, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] El Spanisho Fako

es un idioma muy buena. Yo me gusto el spanisho fako very mucho. Es un joko Americano excellente. - crz crztalk 23:09, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Por supuesto. Although, as a student of Spanish, I don't like to see it butchered. Academic affiilations. f(Crazytales) = (user + talk) at 13:10, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikistress

Good luck with all the projects, Crazytales! It can be really hard to pull yourself away from Wikipedia to get work done, but I'm sure you'll feel good about it once you have the worked finished. Hope all goes well! -- Natalya 23:55, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

^^; Thanks. ~Crazytales~patent nonsense! 01:02, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Natalya. Remember that Wikipedia can be both educational and entertaining, but real life comes first. (Now I just have to remember that myself. :) ) Regards, Newyorkbrad 01:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My Request for Adminship

Thank you for your support in my my RfA, which passed with a tally of 117/0/1. I hope that my conduct as an admin lives up to the somewhat flattering confidence the community has shown in me. Please don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page should you need anything or want to discuss something with me. I don't intend to let my admin work get in the way of my writing on wiki, but to try and balance them :)--Nilfanion (talk) 22:54, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 'Thousand million' v. 'billion'

I reverted the change, because, believe it or not, 'billion' in Britain refers to a million million, or what Americans call a 'trillion'. See Billion (disambiguation). Ral315 (talk) 17:48, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Right. I know. That's why I put ‘american definition of billion’. ~Crazytales (Talk) 21:54, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Accepting RfA

I hereby accept my nomination for adminship by you. Thanks. –mysid☎ 19:13, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reversion of vandalism on my userpage

Thanks for that. User:Rideburton2424 wasn't even a very good vandal. They did give me a giggle, though, with this edit, which doesn't look all that amusing until you consider they were actually accusing a bot of "having no life" :-) Cheers, Tonywalton  | Talk 20:11, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem. This IRC antivandal tool is pretty cool (: ~Crazytales (Talk) 20:13, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spambots

I've just started blocking spambots (anon only blocks) without doing the open proxy checks. It's pretty obvious when an account is a spambot. Do you feel strongly that I shouldn't? NawlinWiki 20:31, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Anon only? 'kay then. the user should check for malware anyway. ~Crazytales (Talk) 20:32, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
