My constructive comments on AfD pages

I stand by my comments and votes. I only posted the "keeps" on ones that I thought should be kept. I cannot bring myself to vote negative, because I know someone must have spent time writing any given article. Moreover, I really do think some are being too quick to delete articles. If NOBODY sees merit in an article, well okay, but if even a couple of people find an article useful and intriguing, keeping it is less likely to do harm than not having it. Seriously, though, I am noticing a too quick to delete trend, which is unfortunate. In any case, let’s not beat a dead horse on this one. Telling someone something once is usually sufficient. Besides, all of the specific articles, I thought should be kept and not every single "keep" post of mine was identical as some erroneously alleged. Sure, many were, but there was some variation and after the first message on my talk page, I made any new "keep" messages more precise. Beating the same point to death after the message has been received is well . . . Have a pleasant week and best regards, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 00:25, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Merci

Grand Roi,

Merci beaucoup pour votre comments concerné La Chatham Chorale. J'apprécie sincèrement votre appui, et Je crois aussi cela une chorale, c'est bon, particulièrement celui-là, ils ont rendu la musique classique accessible pour tout le monde de Cape Cod. Encore, merci! (Et je suis desole, mais mon francais n'est tres bon) Knowing Is Half The Battle 00:18, 7 November 2006 (UTC) (Savoir est demi de la batille)

De rien! (And I speak English, so English is always fine! Good luck keeping your article! :)) Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 00:21, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

A history link

Since some people seem to be obsessed with the idea of being able to peer into your messages I have added a link to a version of this page which contained them. Regards, Kavadi carrier 04:20, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Dear Kavadi carrier,

Thank you, I appreciate the effort at a constructive compromise. I really think the whole thing was getting out of hand. You'll notice that after the initial comments from you and a few others, I began a discussion on the Village pump and did NOT merely repeat the same argument for every AfD topic I contrubuted to. It seems that I've had to spend too much time defending my talk page! Anyway, I didn't see why my talk page should be overburdened by a dead issue. So, with that, you're a good Wikipedian! Have a wonderful night! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 04:25, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Removing notices/Page protection

You may remove material from your talk page, but do not remove administrators notices. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 00:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

There old, so aren't they just archived in the history? Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 00:45, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Normally users are allowed to remove notices. Normally also, indef blocked users are allowed to comment on their own talk page. This has the appearance of attempting to conceal the indef blocked status - which I count as abuse of the privilege. For this reason the user page and user talk page are now protected.

Leah LaBelle

If you want this article restored please take it up at Wikipedia:Deletion review.—WAvegetarian (talk) 15:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the link; I suppose I just don't get why the sudden rampage to delete the pages for American Idol contestants. Considering how many thousands try out for the show and the incredibly high ratings, anyone who actually makes it to the final 12 is a recognizable figure to many and has accomplished something few others have. Plus, I anticipate others just recreating these pages eventually anyway. Finally, because of American Idol video games that include videos of contestants and programs like American Idol Rewind that re-air footage from past seasons with new interviews, the publicity of these individuals has been augmented all the more. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 23:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I graduated high school with Leah. I also put a fair amount of work into the article between correcting factual errors, updating it and general policing. I don't really have a strong opinion either way on the Idol issue, but want to have consistency. That link is the best place to voice your concerns.—WAvegetarian (talk) 21:07, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay, thanks again! --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 23:05, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

help us Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles, you're our only hope

I noticed that you had voted to keep the category of Fictional Characters by Superpower on the march 7th CFD. Just in case you didn't yet notice, Raidant!'s decision to listify them was put up for review, and another vote started on the 14th. It seems those of us in favor of keeping the categories are losing the debate, and I was hoping you could lend your voice once more so we can keep them --Piemanmoo 20:02, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure, thing, I'll vote to keep immediately. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 04:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Indefinite block

This account has been blocked indefinitely as the sockmaster of Wikipedian, Historian, and Friend? for persistent and pernicious disruption at WP:AFD and CAT:PROD. Past history includes attempted vote fixing. Previously blocked for six weeks and warned of impending indef; violated the block by starting the sockpuppet account which became the bad hand sockpuppet for further WP:POINT violations. DurovaCharge! 05:45, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I am quite pleased with all of the many positive and constructive contributions that I have made in terms of correcting typos and article creations and despite some frustrations here and there, I know that my time on Wikipedia has been well spent in making it a better site. As a final comment, you shouldn't punish the other OSU users who happen to use the same university IP. So, with that, adieu. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 06:58, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Award

Golden WikiAward
I would like to award you the Golden WikiAward for your exceptional contributions to the wiki. --ISOLA'd ELBA 19:13, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the award. I apologize for not knowing you and what exactly the award was for, especially as I've taken a break from actively editing Wikipedia for some time now, but I appreciate the kind thought and wish you a wonderful week! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 04:23, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I'm currently blocked indefinitely and therefore cannot remove anything from my userpage. The only way I could do so would be to use some other account and because I've agreed not to do that, I'd rather not risk any new allegations against me. Therefore, if anyone else reads this message from the bot above, please do what the bot requests. Thank you. --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 23:00, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Done. That image was in {{User Columbus}}, but I took care of it. I'm glad you're doing better. WODUP 18:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Thank you! :) --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 15:59, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
You're welcome. :) WODUP 00:13, 28 May 2007 (UTC)


Name

Hello, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles! I am a native speaker of both French and English. I wanted to let you know that in the spoken form of French, "Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles" means "The Big King of Dummies! Leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions. Cheers, BigBrotherIsWatchingYou

Really? A French girl told it me it meant "The Great Pumpkin King". --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 16:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Unblock

Welcome back to Wikipedia. Per our agreement, this will be your only account and you'll tread lightly at AFD. I hope things work out this time. Cheers, DurovaCharge! 06:49, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Merci, danke, thank you! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 16:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
By the way, I have a standing offer to give the Resilient Barnstar to any editor who returns from a ban and starts a new article that gets highlighted at Did you know? DurovaCharge! 18:22, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
How would I do that? Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 19:36, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Welcome back. Hopefully you will help us write a good encyclopedia. To get into Did you know?, you just need to write a very good new article and either nominate it yourself or have someone else to do it. Best. WooyiTalk to me? 02:33, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the welcome back and reply to my question. Have a great weekend! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 16:49, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
