[edit] Full-protect

Can you please full protect User talk:Xiand 82d please? Reverting that vandal is getting tiring... --Dark Falls ^talk 10:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. Cheers! --Dark Falls ^talk 10:25, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My recent RfB

Thank you so much for your participation in my recent RfB. Though it closed with 72% support (below the required 90%), I'm still quite pleased at the outpouring of support shown by a fair percentage of the community.

I'm currently tabulating and calculating all opposing and neutral arguments to help me better address the community's concerns about my abilities as a bureaucrat. If you'd like, you can follow my progress (and/or provide additional suggestions) at User:EVula/admin/RfB notes. Thanks again! EVula // talk // ☯ // 03:55, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Blend

Hi! I checked out your band, pretty great stuff, I wanted to download some MP3s or buy a CD but I couldn't find a working link. What's with that? Andre (talk) 22:39, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:FormerlyPanairjdde

You blocked this user as a username violation, and they have applied for unblock. Please believe that I am not criticising, and am probably showing my ignorance, but I cannot see the violation. I have, of course, not unblocked, but would appreciate an insight into the reasons for blocking this name. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 00:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I said I was showing my ignorance!!--Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 11:07, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Grandmasterka's Day!

Grandmasterka has been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, and therefore, I've officially declared today as Grandmasterka's day! For being such a beautiful person and great Wikipedian, enjoy being the Star of the day, dear Lindem! Love, Phaedriel 10:27, 6 July 2007 (UTC) A record of your Day will always be kept here.

[edit] Scientology Symbol

Grand Master please read Wikipedia:Image use policy under user created images. Image use policy It says: "Photographs of three-dimensional objects almost always generate a new copyright in addition to copyrights of objects."

That is a picture of a three dimensional object that I myself photograph. Being an object and not the Scientology logo it self is considered just a picture that belongs to me, separate from the logo it self. Being a picture that belongs to me I released it to wikipedia for usage. Bravehartbear 22:14, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Templates

How Do You Make Or Edit A Template? Vballbryan 17:54, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FYI

My record of quality edits

My record has a valued contributor to wikipedia is rarely exceeded. In the past 3 months, almost 900 quality mainspace edits, not mindless bot edits or minor edits; nearly 50 new articles created; over 2000 total edits; edits to articles ranging from a small but important fact in cholangiocarcinoma to new articles, such as Driving in Singapore, to correcting wrong information, to 70-100 fixing of vandalism, and no editing conflicts

Jersyko, in retaliation for my oppose RFA vote, began frequent harrassment of me. He has done so again by tampering with a RFCU and adding my name.

RFCU

There was a previous RFCU. Jersyko blocked me indefinitely based on that but Jimbo Wales unblocked after the RFCU after he received private information confirming my identity and other exculpatory evidence. Jersyko is trying to WP:POINT and harrassing me with the new RFCU because he knows that "unrelated" result will not happen and want to humiliate me and ban me. RFCU is not pixiedust and will be a rehash of the first one. Jersyko and Derek conflict over Barack Obama, something that I am not even interested in.

This harrassment is so disruptive that I have stopped article writing for rest of the week. MastCell listed the RFCU properly but others keep modifying it to make it harrassing. Do not play into Jersyko's scheme and unintentionally harrass me.

I am not asking you to respond. Response only fuels Jerysko's anger, which he takes out on me. VK35 15:10, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

This is absurd. Tvoz |talk 15:55, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HHHHHEEEEEEEEELLPP

Man, i used to have a wiki account, but i cnt get in. My usernames is lokinjo if you need proof on this post it here and ill answer it fr you. HELP ME GET BACK IN!!!! email is <e-mail redacted> —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.105.185.236 (talk • contribs).

I'll look into it with a better internet connection than this (probably tomorrow.) Grandmasterka 07:31, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I can't help you get back into your account, but I notcie you've set an e-mail address. You can request to have your password e-mailed to you. Grandmasterka 21:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, you haven't set an e-mail address. You're going to have to create a new account, I'm afraid. Grandmasterka 21:19, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Happy anniversary

[edit] Houston High School

At 00:58 on 5 April 2007 you deleted the article "Houston High School" with a comment of simply "Nonsense".
Is there an archived version of this page that I could view if I were to replace it?
Or might I simply request undeletion? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Danielt2x (talk • contribs).

[edit] the Formosan languages

• edit summary from Thao people: "the Formosan languages do not constitute a coherent genetic subfamily"... hey, uh, you got references? Thanks! Ling.Nut 03:51, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Abadi language

Hi, I notice you deleted Abadi language on 26 June. I don't recall the article content exactly, but I'd like to plead for its reinstatement and editing to meet Wikipedia copyvio rules. I'm of the belief that any natural language is intrinsically notable enough to warrant an article, and I'd like to see this language covered by Wikipedia in a way that doesn't copyvio Ethnologue content. Is there a way I can, at least, obtain the previous article content, and/or propose a revised version of the article? Wantok (toktok) 14:03, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

• Sounds like a plan. I've enabled email from other users now. I'd be happy to create an article which does not commit such sins (copying verbatim from Ethnologue). Wantok (toktok) 10:34, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mississippi blues

Saw the note on your user page, I hope that all is well with your family and friends. Sincerely, RFerreira 07:43, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Why thank you. I don't think anyone I know is gone. I went and looked at the bridge today, from the closest vantage point that's not closed off that I know of right now. Couldn't see too much from there, but the wreckage will be there for a while, and maybe they'll open up the nearest bridge again sometime soon. Grandmasterka 20:53, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Hdt83 3

The actual closing date was 26 June 2007 - more then a month ago ;)

On another note, it's good to see you around RfA again...I can't really remember seeing you there since my first RfA (where you supported :D). Happy editing! Giggy ^{Talk | Review} 01:08, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

If there are too many windbags, cancel it out with your participation :P Anyway, nice to talk to you :) Giggy ^{Talk | Review} 03:49, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I35 talk page

Could you please stop putting the "i wish we had the licence to use this image" section in the talk page? I already moved it to a different section about images, in an effort to help organize the page. -Jason ost 13:27, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry!

Sorry I reverted your edit to User talk:Linkinparklptv... my page is slow, so you got to it first and I didn't realize it! - IamMarkBlake 04:41, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka 2

Thank you for your support in my Request for Adminship. Unfortunately the nomination did not succeed, but please rest assured that I am still in full support of the Wikipedia project, and I'll try again in a few months! If you ever have any questions or suggestions for me, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes, --Elonka 05:28, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template cleanup

A few templates you created, Template:High-risk template and Template:Highrisk, have been marked for deletion as deprecated and orphaned templates. If, after 14 days, there have been no objections, the templates will be deleted. If you wish to object to their deletion, please list your objections here and feel free to remove the {{deprecated}} tag from the templates. If you feel the deletions are appropriate, no further action is necessary. Thanks for your attention. --MZMcBride 03:21, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

With regard to your objection, I'm not sure I understand it entirely. I understand they may be easier to remember, however, neither one is used at all. In the last two and a half months, there hasn't been a single usage of the templates. Also, all the protection templates are now formatted identically, using "pp" (for "page protection") and then a hyphen and then a keyword. Template:Highrisk and Template:High-risk template only add to the number of redirects to Template:pp-template, including Template:protected template and Template:hprotected and Template:protectedtemplate. In my view, it would be better to gain some conformity rather than create more redirects. Any thoughts? --MZMcBride 03:44, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zim2007 evading block?

Please see my comment on User talk:Zim2007 and let me know if you think this user has created a new account to evade the block you placed upon him. It looks a little suspicious to me. --MatthewUND^(talk) 08:50, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

The user pages and user talk pages of each suspect in Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Zim2007 should be protected since the suspected sockpuppet accounts have been blanking them, thank you.--milk the cows (Talk) 23:27, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UseMyBank

Hi,

I am the technical writer for UseMyBank Services Inc. www.UseMyBank.com. My CEO had made an account with the name UseMyBank and he forgot which email he signed up with and he does not know the password for the account. If you can please unlock the account UseMyBank Services Inc and or send the password for the UseMyBank login to the email address that was used to sign up with that account that would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

[edit] Glenwood, Minnesota

Concerning this edit, would this be enough as a citation that Stockhol exists in MN? --Matthiasb-DE 18:01, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] user:BigBadUglyBugFacedBabyEatingO'Brian

Hi, I see you moved this away from UAA, with the rationale that it is borderline. Are you sure? It is 35 characters in length, and 32-ish is usually the limit from my experience (and I think that the bot reports any it find over 32). If you still feel it is isn't blatant, I might take to WP:RFCN. Please get back to me. Cordially, -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 06:28, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
