A simple gift for all your kindness - it's great to have you around!
I was dying to say that ;) My dear MoP, with all your kindness and nice gestures towards me, it was about time I showed up here, and give you a small gift and a hug. I hope we talk more in the future - *Smooch!* Phaedriel tell me - 00:57, 22 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Userpage renovation

Do you know about Category:Wikipedians in need of a better Userpage? I know you have skills with editing userpages, and it seems that there are now actual users in that category.--The ikiroid (talk)(Help Me Improve) 02:33, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiHate

Thanks for sending me the WikiHate. Now stop spreading rumors about me/us! :oP EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 02:38, 22 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] You've been truffled by Charlie

Charlie has given you some of his famous Solid chocolate truffles! Chocolate truffles taste good, help moods, promote WikiLove and hopefully make your day better. Charlie also wanted to give you this message: I wanted to make a unique template along the theme of the smiles, and I like giving out truffles. Please let me know what you think!

Hope you find the truffles to be tasty, and make sure you enjoy them with a nice tall glass of milk (they're rich)! --Charlie( @CIRL | talk | email ) 04:31, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VandalProof Lock

Hi, I've reverted the VandalProof lock. Please see the VandalProof talk page for reasoning. While your design is certainly worthy of consideration, please upload it as a new file rather than over another person's work. --IntrigueBlue 08:37, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thank you for your really nice nomination. It is much appreciated. Computerjoe's talk 21:10, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit]  ???

Why did you write me such a harsh warning message? GOd, how was I supposed to know those changes were actually real? I thought they were submitted and reviewed, I just wanted to make some people laugh, I didn't realize it would actually show up! ANd then you had to go and write this horrible message, making me feel bad instead of pointing me to some sort of beginner's guide when I CLEARLY didn't know what was going on! I mean, who would actually put that in an article for serious? THey'd look like a complete moron!

I can't believe you did this to me! Is this how all the moderators are? How will I learn to edit! I had a friend, telling me that the people here were so benevolent and patient, and then I get some dire warning telling me I can't edit pages anymore! I make one mistake, and I have nothing left here! I can't even edit the articles for real, for lack of a guide to what's good quality and what's bad! Why did you try to intimidate me like that? I haven't been bullied like that in over months. 68.59.61.191 22:07, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

He thinks you're an admin, MoP. Maybe it's time again? :D (~Kylu) 207.145.133.34 21:31, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bop

I thought I'd bop you, because you're just so experienced in the ways of wikipedia. You humble me. :,) I'm so impressed with your userpage, I wish I had that kind of knowledge. Now if you don't have as many brain cells, you might not be so smart, and I might not feel so stupid! Anyway, have a nice day! ;) Sergeant Snopake 19:34, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Wow, are you joking? I'd love that!! It's such a mess, such a horrible, horrible mess, I can't even look at it without wanting to scream!! I see that you are a Sultan of Swing - so am I (even if I don't always make the scene)! I'll need to steal that userbox...but then I'll have to find two others to make it even... thank you so much! Sergeant Snopake 22:16, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, that would be great, they're my two most favourite colours! 'Romeo and Juliet' came out at the same time as my mum and dad were first going out together, and people used to say it was about them, so that's another reason I've always liked Dire Straits. Mark Knopfler is such a fantastic guitarist! Also, will you put my name on your friends list for me (if you'll have me!)? I would, but I have IE, rather than Firefox, and I can't see it properly. Sergeant Snopake 22:38, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, there's no rush (at all!) and once again, thank you!! BTW, are you normal height for your age where you come from? I really have no idea how tall a fourteen year old should be, as I come from a family of hobbits where being about 5', 5'1 at fourteen is normal... Sergeant Snopake 22:50, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I thought you might be because you can speak it, but then again you might have just learnt the language - you never know. Sorry if I seemed insensitive when I said 14, I know when your birthday is, it's the same day as...well, I won't bore you with tales of pets and what-not, but I'm very sorry if I seemed rude! Sergeant Snopake 23:02, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Whoah, that really is weird! How did he - ? I mean, what did he - ? It boggles the mind. Sergeant Snopake 10:53, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merci beaucoup!

Thank you, Master of Puppets/Talk/Archive/Archive12!
Thank you for voting for my recent RfA, which passed (to my extreme surprise and shock) with a total tally of 66/15/2. For that, I would like to thank you and offer a helping hand in any admin-related tasks that may be required -- it's as simple as leaving a message on my talkpage. Thanks again! -→Buchanan-Hermit/!? 22:18, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Drink? But-- but-- it's mid-afternoon here! hehe -→Buchanan-Hermit/!? 22:23, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Alright... but if I pass out, you're carrying me home. (Not in a suggestive way, of course.) -→Buchanan-Hermit/!? 22:25, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Erm... Adultery's always an option? lol, just kidding... -→Buchanan-Hermit/!? 22:30, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blue magic and Blue Magic

Asking for your guidance. My thinking was to move Blue magic to the redirect page at Blue Magic and then put a notice at the top like "This page is about the band Blue Magic. For the magic type in Final Fantasy, see Final Fantasy magic." The other option is to move Blue magic to Blue Magic (band) and then put a note about Final Fantasy at the top. The first of these methods requires administrative assistance, and I figured you wouldn't mind helping me. Thanks! - Corbin Be excellent 02:12, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Boy, is my face red. Kindly disregard the above. I need more sleep. - Corbin Be excellent 02:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] EWS23's RfA

Hello Mopper! Thank you very much for supporting my request for adminship. I must admit that my heart skipped a beat when I saw your "oppose" (I first viewed it in "diff" form), but I was quickly relieved to see the truth. Thanks again, and feel free to send me a message if you ever see that I could be doing something better. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 03:58, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

P.S.- I've left a message with Sango to see if you two would be interested in teaming up to get my userpage redesign finished. Let me know what you think!

[edit] Re: Master of Puppets

I removed the section on Master of Puppets based off Supercoops post in the talk page.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Master_of_Puppets#Interpretation Metallica says in interviews (paraphrased) the songs don’t mean anything but what you make them. I am just glad I listened to the song before someone swayed my interpretation of the song and I would like others to have that opportunity.

But if you must include the section then site some sources as to what the song means. Otherwise it's just original research. --Arm 04:41, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] pages for newcomers

Hi!

As a fairly new newcomer, I'm interested in the "process" of helping new users find things to do when first arriving at Wikipedia.

I see a lot of Help pages, tutorials, etc., and lots of pages on policy and standards... But I haven't found pages directing users to find things to do to satisfy their early abilities other than some stub lists (and I've been using the search option (search: "{{wikify...")

Can you help me to find out what sort of "projects" there are on Wikipedia to help the masses of new Wikipedians pick pieces of work that suit them? My interest isn't necessarily for my own use (but it will help me too) but more so as a possible area of work I'd like to look at for participation.

Thanks!

--Hitrish 15:24, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Master of Puppets, thanks once again for posting your help to my talk page! The list of Wikiprojects is perfect and points to many more options for finding manageable things to do for the discerning newbie. The best! --Hitrish 05:03, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CorbinSimpson's Request for Adminship

Thanks for voting in my request for administrator rights, even though it failed (13/30/4). Sadly, work has forced me to respond to you all using a substituted message rather than a personalized response. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that administrators, to me, should be chosen and approved by the community, and I will continue working to become a better editor and Wikipedian. No matter what the alignment of your vote was, I will take your comments seriously and use them to improve myself. If you wish to discuss your comments personally with me, I would be more than glad to talk about things since the RfA is now over; just leave your concern on my talk page and we will sort things out. Thanks again for voting, and happy editing! - Corbin Be excellent

[edit] Mod icon

Of course, I simply used that license as it required the least explanation - should have done that to begin with. Leave it with me - Glen TC (Stollery) 05:17, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Is that cool? - Glen TC (Stollery) 05:20, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Fanclub

Awww, my first imposter (I think). Thanks for the heads up, otherwise I might not have found out about it. Cheers! --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 06:01, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it did make me laugh. I guess it means that I am doing something right. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 06:05, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject page overhaul?

Would you have any interest in overhauling/organizing/makingpretty a new WikiProject page? It is so ungainly right now. You did such a good job with my userpage. If you're not interested, that's ok. Just thought you might like a challenge. :) --Fang Aili talk 15:45, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Maybe light blue-ish? With dark blue accents? You could incorporate Image:Skate.jpg or other figure skating pictures if you liked. I don't care for the layout of WikiProject Arts, but that's an example of a WikiProject that did something with the project page. Basically I want to avoid a very long page that's hard to navigate. --Fang Aili talk 17:08, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
A few guidelines--I would like the "to do" to remain prominent and unhidden. I'd also like the "Templates" and "New article announcements" to remain unhidden. The "Relations" section (and lots of subsections) could be hidden. It'd be nice if you could lay out the "Sister Project links" horizontally along the bottom edge (sort of like the WP mainpage has), but I don't know if that's possible. Thanks for doing this!! --Fang Aili talk 18:31, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism reversion

Thanks for the rollback earlier, MoP! It's funny, just today someone said that if I have someone vandalize my page, it's a sign I'm doing something right! ... I wonder if the guy realizes that calling me "gay" isn't going to be taken as much of an insult though? I'm about glad of it!

[edit] Rollback

It should still be available. Purge your broswer cache, as I was fixing IE stuff for a while, and for a while some things were broken. If it still doesn't work, tell me what browser you are using.Voice-of-AllTalk 04:41, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me. Sorry...this was on me, I forget an &action=edit clause that speed it up and was used in the .split dor the page name, which was undefined and invalid without &action=edit (splitting something after "editing " when it does not have that and then ecaping() it causes a crash). Clear you cache again, since I just fixed it now.Voice-of-AllTalk 04:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Two more things. 1)Recently, the vandal revert sets a URL trigger so that tab warning put in the page name too...kind of cool. And 2)Whenever I edit a section on this page, it is blank...:(.Voice-of-AllTalk 04:58, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User gallery

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks! Alot of stuff changed on Wikipedia while I was gone. Also, I am going to need your help. I think that being gone for a week has made me lose my addiction to Wikipedia. Can you help me get addicted again? --GeorgeMoney T·C 23:14, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

Good job, but one point... the IP I use is a proxy (cache.inet.fi) and I used it because I was blocked by the same [insert-general-insult] admin [whose name you don't probably know, and is irrelative here..] then I needed to make a point about the myg0t article deletion which was... well, you can check, he listens to no one when they try to ask him why, he deleted it because he's BIASED AGAINST IT. Now YOU think you're for good here, because I was trying to find out some stuff on an admin breaking admin policies and rules and promises blabla. Or then you're just "doing your job". Have a good day! <3 :) --194.251.240.114 18:11, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blnguyen's RfA

Hello Mopper. Thank you for your strong support and help with tallying at my request for adminship to enable that things could run smoothly. Of course, I feel that your gracious statement in my Editor review was also highly influential, as it was quoted by many RfA participants and strongly contributed to the overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0) was in large part, and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation. If you need any help with tasks requiring admin powers, feel free ask me - and of course, if I make any procedural mistakes, feel free to point them out. Of course, I look forward to working with you in the future. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 05:26, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
