Welcome back!

Nice to see you are active on the Wiki again! Sr13 07:36, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the poem Phaedriel. Take care:) King Lopez Contribs 09:24, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad to see you in action again, thanks and keep warm ;o) Piotr Mikołajski 12:49, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Glad to see that your daughter is doing better. It would seem that this was rather more than a cold as I inferred from the notice you had up. Best wishes to you and her, and thanks for the lovely message. --Jack Merridew 13:07, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

It's a pleasure to see you back here, and I am so glad that your daughter is recovering. All the best, Newyorkbrad 13:23, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Glad you're back. And thanks for the poem, made my day. Wizardman 13:26, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Dear Phaedriel, thank you so much for your lovely poem. It's incredibly moving to see how much time and effort you put into encouraging other people and recognising their special gifts. Lifting your spirits is the least I could do. After all, what are friends for? I am so very glad that you and your daughter are doing better! Love, Kyoko 13:43, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Dear Phaedriel, Thank you for the very lovely poem and for your kind thought. I hope everything is well for you, glad to hear that things have improved. Modernist 14:24, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the poem and your kind words, Phaedriel, and I shall confess my ignorance in that it took me a whole 20 minutes to figure out what the first letters of each line spell out! I look forward to talking to you via email once everything's calmed down and you're feeling better :) - Zeibura (Talk) 18:02, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Wb!

Dear Phaedriel, I am very happy for you that your daughter is better now! I thought a lot about you and your daughter, and I was quite worried for a while. But I am glad that things are better now, and to see that you are back. Sincerely, G.A.S 06:50, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

RE:

Thanks! It was actually Cremepuff222's idea (as to not steal the credit) on IRC, but of course I wanted to be a part of the initiative. You are the master of wikilove. See ya, —« ANIMUM » 14:06, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

You are very welcome

You are very welcome for what I said, Phaedriel. :) I, along with mnay other users (well, most of Wikipedia actually), are glad you are back. :) Acalamari 16:23, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I do have one request though: can you please lower the semi-protection to my user page? You were the protecting administrator, and I thought you'd want to be the one to remove the semi-protection. I don't believe my user page requires semi-protection anymore. Can you please remove it, as well as the semi-protection tag? Thank you. Acalamari 18:27, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
WikiThanks

Thank you so much for doing that for me. :) Acalamari 18:35, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Don't be silly.

Don't be silly - with a sick child, I obviously do not expect you to be taking any time working at a silly thing like a userpage design. Take your time, and take care of your family. Obviously, that's most important. Truly, let me know if there's anything I can do. - Philippe | Talk 17:32, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Sharon. Philippe is right. Please take more care of your daughter, yourself and your family - other things can surely wait including the exchanges of emails and sharing of thoughts. I would also like to add that you always brighten and lighten not only my talk page but my feelings too. And, the God shall continue to brighten and lighten your life! --Bhadani (talk) 18:29, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for being so understanding, guys. The truth is, I've been so scared and worried these last days, and I still am to a certain degree, that now that I'm a little more calm I'm trying to resume editing slowly to keep my head occupied. My mind needs a little rest, just because right now there's nothing I can do but to follow the doctors' instructions and wait, just wait. Realizing how much you've all done for me with your kind thoughts and prayers, it is both my moral duty and a much needed distraction to thank you and talk to you, just like one talks to dear friends when you're going through bad times. Once again, thank you - I owe all of you more than you may imagine. Love, Phaedriel - 20:33, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

King Lopez

Oh, I think you misunderstood my purpose on 3RR. I don't think he needs a block; I think he needs a warning from someone he'll listen to. For three reasons: 1) blanking isn't appropriate except in the case of trolling, even on his User Talk page, even if said blanking doesn't result in a 3RR vio, 2) reporting someone on AIV and getting them blocked because they're leaving you warnings isn't appropriate, and 3) calling someone a troll in an edit summary doesn't WP:AGF. I can't tell him any of this, though, because my comments are getting shot on sight. Could you have a word with him, please and thank you? 24.160.241.190 17:54, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

This user is also 24.160.247.6 (talk · contribs) which as made personal trolling attacks on my talk page and should be blocked. King Lopez Contribs 01:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the poem!

And I hope your daughter gets well soon. Waltontalk 19:07, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks from me too! Your messages always seem to make me happy, Phaedriel. Best wishes, Anas talk? 21:05, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Wow, how perfectly splendid! Thank you so much for your kind generosity, it really means a lot. Tom Harrison Talk 21:40, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

After all the times you made me ungrumpy? Thank YOU. If you ever need someone to talk to, to blow off steam, or whatever. You have my email. :) SirFozzie 20:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Advice!

Hey, I've seen your name around a few of my wiki-buddies pages (where the heck is The Ungovernable Force?), as well as the Indigenous...WikiProject, so figured you'd be a good person to ask for advice/help on an article I'm writing. It's about the Yavapai people of central Arizona, and so far is confined to my sandbox. I'm trying to be very cautious about terminology, and POV, but it's tough flushing out what I've bee taught all my life. Erg! Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! Murderbike 21:34, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

please write me

Hi Phaedriel, could you please send me a talk page message? I'm trying out a new colour for my message bar, but I won't know how it turns out until I get a message. Thanks! :) Kyoko 21:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Now I get a bar in the same colour as the background of my page (the colour in which the lilac/slightly pinkish) boxes are floating), but there's an orange border that makes it clash. You're welcome to tweak my monobook.css if you want. See you later, love you! --Kyoko 21:57, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi, with Riana's help, I think I've made a pleasing message bar, so you don't need to do anymore tweaking. Thanks for your test message! :) --Kyoko 22:39, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the comment. I've been under quite a lot of wikistress as well; I just found out the WP mailing list is a jokefest, and am worried that Wikipedia is not far enough in its development to accept a rewrite I'm working on. — Deckiller 22:32, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much :) The people themselves who debate on the mailing list aren't necessary silly, but the whole scenerio is. Basically, they are arguing about things mentioned in the rewrite that they didn't bother to read, or they are making ridiculous conclusions about a minor defensive point I made (such as someone translating "helping the newcomers understand our procedures clearly" as "newbiephobia"). I don't want to start World War I, but if you are interested in the issue, feel free to comment. There also could have been some misinterpretation, especially since AOL e-mails get messed up on the Wiki mailing list. — Deckiller 23:14, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks :)

I have not your way with words, so I'll just leave you these:


Glad to see you back! :) Riana (talk) 00:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Apparently, the rose above signifies gratitude. That's what the wiki says anyway, but thanks for the kind word and lovely poem! Will (talk) 01:00, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

DiabloSE30

hey there Sharon!

YOu mentioned in your email if there is anything you can do about User:DiabloSE30, the puppeteer that is giving me trouble. Well, you can do the same thing with him that you did with Spoolintsi, ;) Karrmann 01:16, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

As promised...

For mom and daughter
For mom and daughter

I told you I'd "pick" you some, and I got many on my walk through the redwoods and up the coastal cliffs, but haven't had time to process them. However, this one reminded me of you and your daughter, so one each for you two! Your message and the poem on my talk was a joy...and you're right, you won't feel relaxed until it is all over. Give your girl a hug, and remember to treasure every moment with her...you won't believe how fast the time will come when she's turning 16. My youngest is doing that tomorrow, and I'm missing her terribly, as she's half a planet away in Siberia, Russia...but is coming home Saturday...5 days to go!! Anyway, I'm looking forward to your email.... Love and prayers, Alan - AKRadeckiSpeaketh 01:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm so sorry I didnt reply earlier, but I want to express 1. my relief that your daughter has come through just fine 2. How glad I am that you are back and 3. how grateful I am for that poem that you sent me. Best wishes, and I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day, Anonymous DissidentTalk 06:24, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I would also like to say - I read your comments on wikilove, and I really think you are on the right track about this. I know I'm happy! Best wishes, Anonymous DissidentTalk 11:17, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind message, I'm very glad to hear your daughter is better now.Arnon Chaffin (Talk) 13:06, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Me too (sorry, I'm a bit late...). I hope your daughter's recovery continues well! *Cremepuff222* 20:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Good to see you back!

Hi Sharon....just wanted to say that I'm glad all is better now. I know how it is when the little ones aren't well...they are all you can think about...as it should be. Good to see you back.

Well, you're officially the person that everybody likes in this essay. bibliomaniac15 BUY NOW! 18:42, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Are you kidding? I'd be the first person to oppose her RFB due to her constant incivilty and wiki-hate spreading :) Seriously though, of course everyone likes her. She's never mean. Therefore, she never causes any major problems, which means she'd be the perfect RFB candidate. --(Review Me) R ParlateContribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 19:01, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Agreed; bureaucrats are expected to be the fairest members of the community, and Phaedriel fits that description. Acalamari 19:08, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
I agree with everyone here - Phaedriel is surely the Lady of Light of Wikipedia - and she's as pretty as the original too, if not more! Will (talk) 23:22, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Guys, you're making me blush - seriously! :) Thank you so much for your beautiful and kind words, but I'm really not looking for bureaucratship, nor any other position - I've got my hands full as I am, and there are dozens of excellent admins who are way more worthy than me, like Daniel or Newyorkbrad to name just two. Really, thank you so much for all the lovely wikilove you've gifted me, it has enlightened my day beyond words. Let's go and bring it to others in need of a kind word! :) You're all awesome. Love you, Phaedriel - 06:07, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks from the Wiccagnomes...

...for the prompt semi-protection of the article. Hopefully this will save all the time we've had to spend on reversions and repair work recently! Kim Dent-Brown (Talk to me) 10:57, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I know we don't cross paths, but I felt like giving you three barnstars. Whenever I see your user page and or a comment you've left another editor, its makes me feel good to see such a kind caring person here. So thanks! for being such a great Wikipedian. ~ Wikihermit 23:21, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I second that, whole-heartedly. I think I'll add a barnstar of my own creation too! Thanks for all of the great things you've done, Phaedriel. :) *Cremepuff222* 23:30, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Cool! No hurry, I'm kinda working on it day to day, trying to figure the best way to organize all the info, and how to write in a manner that is respectful of the people concerned, despite my education. Hope things calm down for ya! Murderbike 00:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thank you so much for the poem a couple days ago and for making today My Day. You're very sweet. I saw the message this morning when I got to work and snuck a peek at my watchlist... today originally looked like it was going to be a pretty rough day, and you made it light and happy. --Allen 01:00, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!!!

Thanks for giving me my own day! If I'm being perfectly honest, I don't deserve one - there's plenty of others here that do a better job, but that's not going to stop me showing off for being in the limelight for a day!!! I'm truely honoured! Thanks hunny Ryan gives his wiki-lover Phaedriel a virtual snog! Ryan Postlethwaite 01:15, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey there

Hi!

We've not bumped into each other anytime on WP, but I just wanted to say out of all the editors I've seen(/met) here, you're one of the truly nice ones. Your pink user page also reminds me a lot of my younger sister's room, just guessing from the colours, you two would get along very well :P

Anyhow, I just came by to say I lifted one line from your user page (Discourtesy is - unspeakably ugly to me.) to use on my user talk. I hope you don't mind. In fact, after seeing your userpage and talk, I altered the entire template (Template:Usertalksuper) just to make it sound nicer than what it originally was, and I'd like to thank you for giving me that idea.

Apologies if this all sounds a bit random, I just thought I'd drop by to say thanks. Looking forward to working with you on some article some day,

Happy editing,xC | ☎ 07:42, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Lol, yes, I have been harrowing Riana for the past few weeks now, its full-fledged admin-coaching. I'm forever grateful to have such a brilliant coach! :)
About my userpage, I'd be more than happy if you'd have a look - I'd be overjoyed! I've seen the work you've done with so many other userpages... unbelievable coding...on my part,just trying to figure out how to get those little drop down boxes' colours right turned me nutty :P I know your busy, whenever you're free, its no priority... :)
Thank you so much for the rose (my first picture message!),
Love,xC | ☎ 10:46, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sharon! Great to hear from you...got it this morning...I don't check that address that often, will email you a better one. Will definitely be writing you back when I get home from work this afternoon (life's been busy the last couple of days...there's a big wildfire burning above town, and we've done a lot of medevacs).

Re:Heed my words!

I hereby declare myself pwned ;) - Zeibura (Talk) 10:56, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Hve you heard it?

Haggawaga - Oegawagga's userpage has been removed, his talk page protected and his account blcked indefinetly, after all the hard work he has done. The real sockpuppeteer, probably Kermanshahi, still edits here unpunished. Where did justice went? That blocked user had loads of good contributions! He has helped much people, such as Shervink, Ezza, and some more. And can you please re-add his user-page? Randalph P. Williams 11:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Ummm... Stealing content

Hi. I've always admired your Userpage design. I've been thinking of asking you to design me one for ages, but... I guess not. I'm flicking your design. :) Will acknowledge it; just thought I'd let you know. aJCfreak yAk 14:01, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

C'est finit! The job is done. You may check it out. Please let me know if I shouldn't have done it or somethin like that... aJCfreak yAk 16:15, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
I've enhanced it?! That's news to me. Seriously, the design was so intricate that I was breaking my head over it for a coupla hours or so. (Not very good at coding at all) Anyways, glad you like it. Doubly glad that you're allowing it. I'll try working on the residence timeline thingy to try and squish it to a narrower width. I work on a 17" hi-res monitor and so I never noticed it. Ah, that reminds me... Any idea why the page doesn't display the curves in IE? I noticed it when my friend checked out the page but all she saw was plain ol' rectangular boxes... I then checked the page in IE on my PC and same thing happens. Is there some code that could be written so that it's curvy in IE too? :D
And about the thingy that you're looking into, please take your time. It's a pretty minor issue; I'm sure there's tonnes of other stuff to sift and sort through first. Rest assured, I can wait. I'm working on other articles in the meanwhile. Btw, I don't think I ever acknowledged it, but I was sorry bout your kid and am glad that you're back. (Although, I do feel that the break was as necessary for the mother as well as the child!) Cheerio! aJCfreak yAk 09:28, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
What's IE? Well, it's a browser used by a clear majority of gents in this part of the world. I use Firefox; 've always wanted to - then switched to it when I started Wiki-ing. So anyways, since IE is the browser used by a majority here, I still talk about it. :) aJCfreak yAk 09:42, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks a lot. I'm sure you've been told this before, but you've a way to get people smiling. You're a blessed soul and a blessing to souls all around. (Mebbe Wikilove should be renamed?!) Thanks! aJCfreak yAk 09:51, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I'm afraid I've also decided to borrow your userpage design. Unfortunately, I'm not as good with designing userpages as User:Ajcfreak, so I wasn't really able to change it much. Please take a look at it when you have the time and tell me how I can improve it. It can be found at User:Boricuaeddie/Test. Thank you. Yours sincerely, Eddie 18:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you very much for your kind words and compliments. I have no words in English to express the joy and honor I felt when I read your message. I will be changing my userpage soon and you are welcome to make any changes that you want. Happy editing! Yours sincerely, Eddie 16:30, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
