Hey babe, glad to have you aboard, now don't go causing any trouble! -- Essjay · Talk 05:39, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and I'll go edit your CSS & JS pages so the display looks like the one on my comp, don't want you getting confused. ;-) -- Essjay · Talk 05:41, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, there is a good start on a userpage, put in a few things about what you'd like to do on Wikipedia, etc. If you have questions, you know where to find me, or you can do what everybody else does and just steal it from someone else's page. ;-) -- Essjay · Talk 12:26, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Yup,it's right. Tan DXiang

Hi Robbie.

We're trying to contact Essjay about a problem with a mediation request. Since his talk page indicated he was very busy, is there someone else who could handle this? DJ Clayworth 21:32, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sock?

There has been some speculation that you might be a sockpuppet of Essjay's. Could you clear that up? Derex 02:01, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

What would it matter if he was? What a thoroughly offensive thing to post. Grace Note 10:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

It would matter because Robbie voted for Essjay in an election for bureaucrat. That's fine if Robbie is Essjay's partner. However, if Robbie is simply part of Essjay's extended cover, then it would indicate very poor judgement. Rather than assume Robbie is a sock, as many are doing (see Kelly Martin's blog for example), I'm simply asking. I do not understand why you find that question offensive given that (a) there is widespread speculation (b) Essjay has admittedly fabricated the rest of his background. No offense is intended to Robbie, but I do think it is a legitimate question given the totality of circumstances, and "not a sock" is a perfectly acceptable answer. That said, given Jimbo's request for Essjay's resignation, the question is no longer of pressing importance. Derex 10:41, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sockpuppet?

So was this account just a sockpuppet of Essjay? I will assume so- this is not funny at all. --ProtectWomen 19:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
