My userpage

Hello: I noticed your lovely work on Antandrus's page; he and I inhabit very similar spheres here. My userpage is extremely simple and rather clunky as you can see, suitable for a simple-minded person like myself, but I wonder if I could take you up on your offer to spiff things up a bit...? I'm not an especially frilly type, so I might suggest clean and understated as a general theme. But I will allow you carte blanche, knowing your work will be an improvement (which I admit isn't saying much given what's there now)! There's no hurry. Merci beaucoup! --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 20:02, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much; viele Danke; merci beaucoup; mille grazie, etc. etc. Truly there is no hurry so please do not feel any pressure from me. --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 18:57, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

a sad day

Hi, I'm having a hard time seeing balance in the content of this place. For the last few days I've gotten involved in discussions about the endless scribblings about tv show episodes. I fail to see this sort of thing as notable or encyclopaedic. There are other sites for this sort of thing. And today I see Plot of Les Misérables deleted. As I see it this is a sign of a fundamental flaw; anyone can edit but most people have no idea what's important and what's not. I see this site becoming an endless sea of articles about not much with a few important things lost amongst all the dross.

Am I wrong? Am I missing something? And see the musical if you possibly can. --Jack Merridew 10:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for trolling, but try adding this page to Wikibooks, since this a plot review. Miranda 02:34, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
It's gone — maybe a magic-mop can retrieve it... --Jack Merridew 12:31, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
You can ask an administrator to undelete the material for you for a brief moment to copy to Wikibooks...oops, I see that Phaedriel is one! Miranda 18:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Dear Phaedriel

I hope you are doing well. There's still no sign of Coelacan. :( - Jeeny Talk 19:08, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Jeeny. Phaedriel is currently busy in real life, as well as some other users on Wikipedia due to time commitments, work, family, vacation, camps, et. cetera. If you could be patient, such as check in another week or so, I am sure that Coe will respond to your messages. Thanks. Miranda 02:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Advertinsing

Before anything, Hi my real name is John Manuel and my user name is JohnManuel. My subject: I am not sure, but this link looks like an advertising to me. Can you tell if it were or if it were not, and it is fine to be inserted as an external link in the Machu Picchu article page. here John Manuel-21:56, 13 July 2007 (UTC) PD I will comeback right after this because I have two more issues, I think all are related. I keep forgetting it, thanks so much for semiprotecting the page Machu Picchu.

The link is advertising. For a good link or a reliable source, you should look at the CIA's website on countries. As well, the information on the link provided is kind of unsourced. I am and others are kind of monitoring Phaedriel's page, since she is away. Even though I am not an administrator, I will be glad to answer any questions. Miranda 22:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Hi there. Could you please reprotect this page, as a certain section (Israeli settlements) is bordering on an edit war and some editors refuse to use the talk page before they take unilateral action. I think before you unprotect it again, you should check that a FINAL consensus text has been reached on the talk page. At the moment we have a ping pong match. Cheers Suicup 08:27, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

In hindsight, perhaps I shouldn't have involved you further in this contentious big little corner. If it is any consolation though, this was the same 3rr user that precipitated the issue, though I don't mean to cast any blame, just to perhaps say [as involved as I am], that protection wasn't a terrible thing - there is a lively discussion, but the entry itself seems to have reached a stasis of sorts. Anyhow, such are the ways of the wiki I suppose. Cheers, TewfikTalk 09:17, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

A random thought

Phaedriel, as I was moving around Wiki-land tonight, someone gave me a wonderful compliment on my userpage. I was happy to tell her that my new friend Phaedriel had done it for me. It's the "new friend" part that makes me happy. I hope all is well with you. - Philippe | Talk 05:52, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks you very much

For making it my day. JoshuaZ 20:17, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Eddie's Back

Hey Phaedriel. Just thought I would tell you. Boricuaeddie is back. He decided to stay. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (ταlκ) 18:44, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Welcome home!

I made you some cookies for your return.. but I got hungry.. ;) SirFozzie 19:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Glad you're back, but don't forget to take care and relax. :) Acalamari 19:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Yay! I have... uh... *checks drawers* a 256MB stick of RAM? Will (talk) 19:40, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
So pathetic, Will. :P Anyway, welcome back, Sharon! We love you! :) —  $PЯIПGrαgђ  21:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Well, good point, seeing as I'm getting a computer with 2GB of RAM... and 470GB of HD space... and a Intel Core 2 Quad-Core... and a GeForce 8600GT... *drool* Will (talk) 21:49, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

One beer, coming right up! A nice Guiness Red, perhaps? Save one for me! After the past few days shenanigans here, I need it ;) SirFozzie 22:19, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Chocolate ice cream
Chocolate ice cream

Well, I've just made some ice cream, so I'm more than happy to use it to celebrate Phaedriel's return. Welcome back, dear Sharon, and do remember that there's no need to rush to send me an email. I'll wait patiently, as friends should, preferring to see you attend to more immediate needs, like those of your little girl! So glad you're back. ElinorD (talk) 22:24, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the Shenanigans are ongoing, but hopefully things will calm down soon. I guess it's natural when dealing with a certain set of articles that are hotly disputed. SirFozzie 22:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Glad to see you back and that your energy levels have raised :) - Zeibura (Talk) 23:15, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello

Hi, Phaedriel. I have noticed your work on here before, and although you do not know me, I would like to introduce myself by offering you this reward to thank you for your services here. Ulises Heureaux 04:35, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

I was glad to see you have returned, and I hope you are OK, thanks for weighing in. Modernist 04:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I am glad you are back sweetie. Hey what part of California was this picture taken? Because I live in California. Hey, you look cool with those sunglasses. You rock! Cheers mate! King Lopez Contribs 09:14, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

for that reason

i am delinking the red tribal entities for that reason, because they are red. i am writing them down, then i am planning on making a simple page for each, then relinking them to show as blue. hope this is ok, but i figured, why have them linked if they go nowhere. best wishes, Ono 18:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

i understand that as well. I figured that one could make the assumption that, if a tribes name is in black, then it has no link and therefore needs one. If you would prefer it, you can revert my edits; it is really up to you. best wishes, Ono 18:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi there!

Hi Phaedriel. You don't know me, but I've used some of you page design on my new userpage. I gave you credit, so I hope you don't mind me stealing borrowing it ;) If you do have any comments, or wish me not to use anything, please just say. Thanks mate. Great # 8 20:05, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Smiiiile!

Zeibura has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!

Hey dear, I've been okay thanks, been keeping busy on here with some exciting FA pushing... I know I should be enjoying the sunshine, but there's no sunshine here yet! It's just been wet, I'm off to The Glade festival this weekend which is forecast to turn into the Deluge festival, woe betide the english ravers of 07! How have you been?

Anyways thanks for the message :) Hope you're okay, - Zeibura (Talk) 20:28, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes!!

Hi dear Sharon, do you know that Bengali Language Movement is an FA now. I was sick for a couple of days and sorry for informing you late. Please have a look at it and let me know your feeling. Be alright. Bye --Tarif from Bangladesh 20:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

What are your thoughts....?

on Wikipedia:Wikipedian of the day, I know you do the awesome Wikipedian thing so I didn't want it to look like a cheap copy; what are your thoughts? Rlest 21:28, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Well I was thinking about creating an account (second account) called User:Wikipedian of the Day account for usage with the daily awards and other things, another thing I am thinking is to leave a link for visitors to nominate someone via Special:Emailuser/Rlest and that if everything seems OK they can be made the Wikipedian of the day; it would be great to have a members section to help out with things and I'd love for you to be a member of it, any more thoughts.

A question

Phaedriel, may I ask you a technical question, which relates to an article which I am considering commenting on, and to which I am sure you will know the answer.

Did the Cheyenne range as far as Montana? --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, that's fine. E-mail on file. Love. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:14, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi again, and some good news

Hi again, I hope this find you doing alright Wiki and otherwise.

One of my articles just went DYK recently, a first for me (also the first biographical article I've written, though a bit on the short side) and one of my highlights of being on here.

So here's a Shirley Temple cocktail (non-alcoholic of course) for you, and some good old German beer for me. Cheers! --BrokenSphere 22:21, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments. :) I'll add the John Salmon Ford article to my watchlist and set up a sandbox section; it has to be expanded 5x from its current state to qualify for DYK, so that'll take some digging and fleshing out. I'll start a draft as soon as I find the time. --BrokenSphere 22:55, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

WP:CSD

Are you free? The backlog is only 81, but it's climbing in spite of my best efforts. Love. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

OK> Kiss. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 23:05, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Assistence: A vandal Who (perhaps) Want to Be at Admin

A User has put this is his User page "Check for Chewbacca defense in JohnManuel's comments?" Now, What I have done to deserve this offense? I consider this a Personal attack WP:PA. What this has to do with content or improving the Wikipedia? This is a vendetta, perhaps infantile but nonetheless harmful and It was done in response to my observations on this user's behavior, after he has chosen to harass, an attack me, several times, in many subtle ways, for some unknown reason with the objective to get ahead in his ways, and then accused me or irritate me or both. First Warning asking him to stop in here and for this which I did because this user wrote in spanish the "All Catholics Stink" in spanish" the diff now has been mysteriously deleted: here, but he admitted it after were slightly confronted by his admin ally, apologizing for what he has written but now is somehow deleted from the servers??. He has been blocked in the Spanish version of Wikipedia for his fastidious vandalisms. This user changed templates, victimized and insulted users, spam the whole of it. It is very active, go in to the village pumps, get involve in all sort of behavior. In here he does the same but act under the support of Jersey Devil (talk · contribs), Victor12 (talk · contribs), and Ericbronder (talk · contribs). The list is very long, in the Spanish version, but in here after he has been blocked has shown more caution in his misdeeds but he continues doing this, another sample of his fatidious vadalism, taking time from another user, exposing some sort of racism even in this remarks. And I fear that he as become like a Denial of Service kind of menace. Of course he is not the only one; but with the support offered by some users, we eventually and unknowingly, very soon, will have a vandal admin. He has been advised in how to fabricate his way to this point, it seems here. The story shows that this [vandals somehow become even a sysops] incidentally has happened and has harm many users, contents and the whole project at large. I would like you to tell me what we should do. Also, I have already, let some time to pass for "giving peace a chance", and maintain my sanity and neutrality, I think I did, also I have assumed good faith by willing and dealing; but now I am sure that I need to act against this sort of covert but stolid vandalism beyond all rationalism, i.e., this user act for the sake of it (Jackass morphology). Can you assist me in controlling this effectively? Thanks. Also, and again thanks for semiprotecting the Machu Picchu page. It helped. Sincerely.

PD I like your page layout and your poem about the original people of America, it moved me a lot and I identified with it completely. It reminds me of José Santos Chocano with a mix of César Vallejo. Yes I want to add more content, but in dealing with vandals, accusations and attacks, hardly I can. But I will eventually do it.

John Manuel-23:51, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Thank you for answered my request, I wasn't stress, I just don't accept vandalism, but my expectations remain realistic. But you have even put everything at easy. There is not rush, since nobody can really brake the Wikipedia. I didn't know that you design pages good for you! and thanks for your contributions. Another Peruvian poets are José María Eguren and Martín Adán and don't forget to taste one Ceviche in my name. Sincerely, JohnManuel (talk · contribs) -02:32, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

 :O!

Sharon! I'm touched! Thank you so much :) Your kind words have most certainly brightened my day. And this won't be the last orange bar you'll be receiving from me today... ;) Lots of love, Sebi [talk] 01:21, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Dear Sharon, I am so glad to see that you are back on Wikipedia and that your mood meter has finally gone up! Was your daughter's operation successful? I would love hearing back from you! Karrmann 01:43, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Blocked template

I've got to say that the template you added to a user's talk page upon having blocked him, here, is sheer genius! I've never seen it before and I find the appearance and the message to be stellar. Oh, and thanks for your help... — Dave (Talk | contribs) 13:04, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Userpage design

Hi Phadriel. I want a new userpage design because they deleted the template used for my userpage. Can I use your design? Jet123 (talk) 03:47, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

I really need help with my userpage design. Jet123 (talk) 04:00, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
I still want a design like yours. For the color, I want light blue, for the text, I want the same style like your userpage. Jet123 (talk) 21:31, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you dearest Phaedriel. You brought a smile to my lips. This is how I was a feeling.
Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

Perhaps You Can Help

I am unsure how to classify this image, Image:Cat dude.jpeg. It is a standard LOLCat image that I use on my userpage (via a contents page). Ownership of these images is almost always impossible to determine, which is why I originally tagged it as {{Non-free unsure}}. It was tagged for deletion as being in possible violation of Creative Commons. Since it is a common image, I tagged it as such. Still, it was tagged for deletion and retagged {{Non-free unsure}} and I am back to confused.

If you know what an LOLCat image would be classified under, template-wise, please let me know, I would greatly appericate it, because I like the little dude and I think that is all of us one time or another after a long night of editing. Thanks and Take Care....NeutralHomer T:C 00:03, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
