[edit] Maccaca Quote

My appologies, I was mixing up Allen's explination of what he meant with what he actually said to the camera. Thanks for pointing that out to me. DTfromDC 02:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

No problem. --Db099221 02:29, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My request for adminship

Thank you for your support on my RfA. However, I'd like to question your reason for putting it higher up the list than those who had voted before you; the general convention is to put new opinions at the bottom. Personally, I have no problem at all with it but it may confuse others and won't help with organisational purposes and any bot rounds that may occur. I'd appreciate it if you took another look at it. Thanks again. —Xyrael / 16:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

No problem, thanks for sorting it out yourself. —Xyrael / 17:00, 26 August 2006 (UTC)


Sir or Mam,

Thank you for your comment. However, II do feel I have legitamite reason to change articles just as you do. And I would appreciate if you didn't tell me how to participate on Wikipedia, as I will extend you the same courtesty.

Thank you, and have a good day.

[edit] A RfA thank you from en:User:Xyrael

WikiThanks

I'd like to thank you Db099221 for either supporting, opposing, commenting, nominating, reading, editing, promoting and/or anything else that you may have done for my successful request for adminship (I've broken the one thousand sysop barrier!); I'm thanking you for getting involved, and for this I am very grateful. I hope to be able to serve Wikipedia more effectively with my new tools and that we can continue to build our free encyclopedia, for knowledge is power, but only wisdom is liberty. Please do feel free to get in touch if you feel you can improve me in any way; I will be glad to listen to all comments. Again, thanks 8)             —Xyrael / 11:56, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] sorry

It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed content from Bill Clinton. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you. --Db099221 06:39, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

{{helpme}}

Hi! Could someone please tell me what to do if I see an inappropriate username? Thanks!

Probably, yes. Your username has few too many numbers in it. I suggest that you get it changed by the way of WP:CHU. But, again this is my personal opinion, you could continue using this username if you really want to. Regards, — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 16:29, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

{{helpme}}

I was actually talking about other users' usernames. Could someone please tell me what to do if I see an inappropriate username on the recent changes page? Do I report the user to an administrator or ask the user to change it? Thanks! --Db099221 16:41, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, right. I am sorry – I did not read your comment properly. In case you see an inappropriate username, you can report it on WP:AIV and if it is controversial and disputed you can report it on the WP:ANI page. In case, you want to reveal the particular username here, I will be willing to help you on that matter. Regards, — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 16:55, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. --Db099221 16:56, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why did you give me the list of tutorials?

Hi.

Why did you give me that list of tutorials? I have done some editing on the Elvis Presley Article. Have I done something wrong?

I am a newb yes, but my account is very old. So why did I get that tutorial-list now?

Thanks! PureRumble 16:53, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] inappropriate name?

Out of curiosity, what is wrong with a person taking the name of a Marvin Gaye song? Rsm99833 01:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I just thought it violated "Names that refer to or imply sexual acts, genitalia, or sexual preference including slang, innuendo, and double entendre." My fault if I was wrong. --Db099221 01:35, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
For the record, I don't think you were wrong to report it. The username policy is meant to be fairly conservative, in that usernames are meant really to facilitate record-keeping and communication. When a username is controversial, it impedes that purposes and becomes a liability. — TKD::Talk 02:13, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

If you haven't heard the song, try and check it out. It's considered one of the greatest R&B songs ever written. Rsm99833 01:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

You guys have to be talking about Sexual Healing, yes? There is a user with that name? Excellent song, Rsm is right, check it out. YouTube has a video of Gaye singing it - hope this link works, or you can search. [1] MTV has it too - better quality but of course MTV can be a little lagged and has a lot of ads.[2] KillerChihuahua?!? 21:28, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfC - Keltik31

I have started the RfC process for Keltik31; and I would appreciate your comment on my request here, so that my request can meet the two-person threshold. Thank you! -- Weirdoactor 00:51, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

re: the new RfC, see my comments here. Mooochas gracias! -- weirdoactor t|c -- 20:17, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Hi Db099221, and thanks very much for your support during my recent RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of 64/0/0. I am grateful for the overwhelming support I received from the community, and hope I will continue to earn your trust as I expand my participation on Wikipedia. It goes without saying that if you ever need anything and I can help, please let me know. Wait, I guess it does go with saying. ; ) --cholmes75 (chit chat) 15:27, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your input

Thank you for taking part in my RfA. The RfA was not successful, mostly because I did a pretty bad job of presenting myself. I'll run again sometime in the next few months, in the hopes that some will reconsider.

In the meantime, one of the projects I'm working on is A Wikimedia Administrator's Handbook. This is a wikibook how-to guide intended to help new administrators learn the ropes, as well as to simply "demystify" what adminship entails. If you are an administrator, please help out with writing it, particularly on the technical aspects of the tools. Both administrators and non-administrators are welcome to help link in and sort all of the various policies regarding the use of these tools on wikipedia in particular (as well as other projects: for example, I have almost no experience with how things work on wiktionary or wikinews). Users who are neither familiar with policy or the sysop tools could be of great help by asking questions about anything that's unclear. The goal is to get everything together in one place, with a narrative form designed to anticipate the reader's next question.

A second project, related but not entailed, is a book on wikimedia in general, with a history of how various policies evolved over time, interesting trivia (e.g., what the heck was "wikimoney" about?), and a history of how the wikimedia foundation itself came about and the larger issues that occurred during its history (such as the infamous "Spanish Fork").

Again, thanks for your input on the RfA, and thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide for the handbook. --SB_Johnny|talk|books 13:57, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I didnt actually do anything wrong at all! she did star in those films! Cockcheese 14:14, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warning templates

Um, is there any reason why you gave User:142.167.197.246 three test 4 templates in quick succession? Test4 is a 'final warning' template, so a user which vandalises after receiving one should probably be reported to WP:AIV. Raven4x4x 01:05, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. I'll do that in the future. --Db099221 01:08, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfC/User request

You need to create the RfC page. To do it, click on this link to open the page and type {{subst:RfC}}, then save the page. Next, fill in the appropriate sections of that page and save it again. The instructions are very confusing, but that should get the job done. When you have created the RfC page, I am willing to certify with you for this user. Thanks! --Ginkgo100 talk 14:20, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Responded on Ginkgo100's talk page. --Db099221 01:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hi Db099221,

Thanks for not only reverting that vandalism to my user page but also taking the time to update the vandalism counter. I appreciate it. Canderson7 (talk) 04:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

No problem. :-) --Db099221 04:40, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
