[edit] Thank you!

Hi NSLE,

Thank you very much for your support on my RfA. I was both surprised and delighted about the amount of support votes and all the kind words! If I can ever help with anything or if you have any comments about my actions as an admin, please let me know! Regards, JoanneB 13:29, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Eddie

I assume Good Faith in Eddie, alright? I feel if he tries, he will do good. Isn't that something we all should do? Assume good faith? I guess I was wrong, once again, that's too bad I tried to be nice to a user. Quentin Pierce 04:07, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

I know that his RfA's will get shot down right now that's why I told him to work hard and wait 3 months. Quentin Pierce 04:22, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
He won't listen, I try to help him, and he said "I'll try around Christmas", no one listens to me, ever. I was trying to help, I want him to succeed some day. But he's making it very hard for himself to ever become an admin. By the way thanks for turning me on the nationstates inadvertantly, I saw it on your userpage, and just started playing. Quentin Pierce 04:25, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Okay, thanks for the heads up, I'll take a look at it. Quentin Pierce 05:13, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
He hasn't responded yet, but I don't know anymore. It seems like a lot of a hassle this one user is causing. I assume good faith, but I don't know if others will feel as helpful towards him. I want to help him, but I feel that he may not be able to be helped and will get blocked possibly indefinately. I know its wrong to feel he can't be helped, but I mean, it seems to be extremely difficult for him to understand rules that he has been instructed upon, many times. Quentin Pierce 05:38, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Well hopefully we'll be able to help him. It will be difficult, I'm sure, but if we work hard, I'm sure we can get it through his thick skull. It's interesting how the first person I really want to help, is most likely going to be the most difficult one I will encounter. Quentin Pierce 05:55, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

NSLE, You just said those "sockpuppet" pages should't be tagged for deletion. Why do we need to have that page when You tagged the other one? EddieSegoura 07:42, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] mph <-> knots

I don't know where you get your numbers from (1.6 km per mile? ...that's wrong), but everything I have read says there is 1.15 mph in a knot. Jdorje 09:27, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Miborovsky's RfA

Hello there NSLE/Archive 2,

Thank you for supporting me on my RfA. It's Thanksgiving Day, too... so once again a big thank you! Have an awesome weekend! (If you celebrate Thanksgiving, that is.) I will do all I can for Wikipedia, to protect it from the alien scum of the universe... I mean, uh, from Willy on Wheels and Wikipedia is Communism!

[edit] Awesome Job

Since I have this page on my watchlist, I've been watching the events with good ol' Eddie lately (it's even going on as I type this). I've read what you've done to try and help him, so:

I, RattleMan, award this Barnstar to you, NSLE, for your great efforts in trying to help EddieSegoura.
I, RattleMan, award this Barnstar to you, NSLE, for your great efforts in trying to help EddieSegoura.

Great job. Keep it up! -- RattleMan 08:59, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Oh heck, a jolly good try indeed. Have you ever considered helping out with the Mediation cabal? Might be fun. Check out how they work first a bit, then just join in! :-) Kim Bruning 09:07, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

And on a more recent note, thank you for reverting the vandalism done to my page by the No Whammies guy. -- RattleMan 02:06, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Eddies accounts

Actually, Eddie edits from multiple accounts, including AOL and 69.112.54.11 which resolves to ool-4570360b.dyn.optonline.net (69.112.54.11), a New York-based cable account. Eddie lives in New York. I'm in the process of compiling the evidence for your review. Give me another hour. BTW, I don't think a CheckUser query has been done for the accounts listed in the sock pupppet category. I predict that you'll find that the results match Eddie's IPs. BTW, do you know why Eddie's website is hosted in Germany? Also, I find it strange that Eddie's website hasn't been updated since ~1999-2001. Listing in progress:

[edit] No Whammies

Please stop posting junk on my user page. thanks No Whammies 18:24, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

NSLE's comment: This said "junk" was a reversion to put a suspected sockpuppet tag back onto his page. NSLE (讨论+extra) 00:57, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your support

Hi, NSLE. Many thanks for your support for my RfA. I hope I'll live up to the expectations of those who voted for me. If you ever have a problem with any action of mine as an admin, please feel free to let me know. Thanks again. AnnH (talk) 19:13, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your support of my RfA. Thanks, in part, to you, I am now an Administrator, and I pledge to use my newfound powers for good rather than evil. Thanks again!--Sean|Black 07:19, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] reverting my page

According to WP:3RR: The 3RR is generally not enforced against editors reverting changes to their own user page space, on the principle that your user space is yours (for project-related purposes). Exceptions to this rule-of-thumb can occur in the case of editors identified by admins, the arbitration committee, or developers, as sockpuppets, where the sockpuppet tag is continually removed from the user page by the user. The 3RR rule may be enforced in that situation. Therefore, I have every right to revert my own user home page and reject edits or reversions by other users. Yankee Fan 00:22, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

NSLE's response: Again, like above, rv was to attach sockpuppet tag back to the page. NSLE (讨论+extra) 00:57, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Eddie and his suspected socks

No problem, glad to help out. The identified sockpuppets seem to have gone quiet for now (no doubt more are being created). Anyway, I'm off to bed. Cheers TigerShark 00:55, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] My talk page.

I took that duscussion off my page for a reason. I hope it's settled now and I prefer it not appear on My talk page. Thank You -- EddieSegoura 00:30, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Also, why do we need to keep that other page? -- EddieSegoura 00:34, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Revert

Sorry, I didn't mean to revert you. I should have phrased the edit summary differently, so I can understand your frustration. In any case, I don't want to harass Eddie, and in fact I've been trying to protect him. He's posted personal information on my talk page as well as his user page, and in the former instance, I removed it from my discussion page to protect his privacy, and in the latter, I requested help on the AfD page, asking other users to convince him to remove it. Sarah Ewart responded to my query (at least it appears that she did) and asked Eddie to think about it. I don't want to see him get in any trouble. --Viriditas 03:24, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for the support you've shown at my RfA. Reading the comments on this page and looking at your user page, I can tell you're doing really positive things. Nice to know I have your support! Keep up the good work, I (and everyone else it seems) appreciate it! Hamster Sandwich 14:48, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Message from EddieSegoura (Re: Exicornt)

Eddie, that's because it's in your user (user talk, interesting, not many people use user talk spaces for this) space. NSLE
Well, as long as their is no attempt to delete it like before, I have no problem. I guess we all can live happily ever after as far the the "Exicornt" term is concerned. -- Eddie 01:52, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Making progress (Re: cleaning up "sock" tags)

See the bottom of My talk page. Instead of having "sock" tags, the homepages of all the other accounts will redirect to My homepage. -- Eddie 09:40, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm happy to report User Karmafist (talk) has helped Me in a big way. She helped clean up most of the "dirty sock" notes pointing to Me (including a deletion of this page). While only a few linger, I think we've made huge progress and should have them all deleted by the end of the week. After that, I'll be able to start My Wikipedia career all over again and put all of My misadventures behind Me and build a good reputation, so if I do try for RfA months later (even though You might doubt it now), I'll have only good things to My credit. I think it's going to feel great.
P.S. Thank You for reverting an attept to vandalise My page. -- Eddie 5:28 AM, December 1, 2005 (EST) Update: This has been taken care and everything is clean. -- Eddie 03:54, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hi NSLE,

Thanks for voting to support my RfA. I wasn't expecting an unopposed promotion (I thought I'd hit some die-hard edit-counters at least) and I'm touched by the trust shown in me. I'll try my best to continue to earn that trust. But first, I'll have to work on not sounding like a politician; that last sentence was awful. Oh well. Let me know when I screw something up with the shiny new buttons. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 05:26, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] BD2412's RFA

Although my RfA is not over yet, I figured that since so many people voted before it had been posted, I may as well start thanking people before it wraps up. It'll take me that long to thank everyone who voted anyway! Thank you, NSLE - really, I wasn't one already, but it looks like I will be soon - and I'll do my best as an admin to make the reality rise to the level of the dream.

Dear NSLE,

I would like to thank you for supporting me on my RfA. Even though it failed with a with the final tally of 55/22/6, I want to thank you anyways. I don't want to be one a admin anymore until I reach 10,000 edits now that it's over with. Thanks --Jaranda wat's sup 01:56, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Yet Another RFA Thank You Note to clutter up your talk page...

NSLE:

Just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for supporting me in my recent RFA. As you know, I squeaked by with a final tally of 46/13/2, and it looks like you'll probably be an admin yourself by the time you read this. Looking forward to working together with you to make Wikipedia a better place.

All the best.

[edit] Congratulations!

I'm pleased to inform you that you are now an administrator. Please consider reading all the material on the administrators' reading list before testing out your new privileges. Though everything you do, excluding image deletions and page history merges, is reversible, you should nevertheless be very careful with your sysop capabilities. For instructions, please see the administrators' how-to guide. Good luck! — Dan | talk 05:59, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Wie wissen Sie, dass Sie besseres Englisch als ein Muttersprachler können? Ich bin Amerikaner, und kann Deutsch an Stufe 3. Kommen Sie, was Sie behaupten ist für Amerikaner eine Beleidigung.

Vielen Dank für die Antwort. Das stimmt, dass Sie sehr gut Englisch können. Im Leben kann man immer das Glas als halb leer oder halb voll sehen.
