[edit] Thanks

I never thanked you for the barnstar. Thanks. :) --Woohookitty^(meow) 08:01, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FourthAve

That was fast! Thanks, I am posting a message about it to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Arbitration enforcement. - Mike Rosoft 20:22, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks! Eep, really that many. I should use 'preview' more. :) Morwen - Talk 15:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User page

If I don't want a user page, could I use my user page as a sandbox to preview drafts of future new articles then once the article is created, delete the user page to clear the public history and to ensue that the edits used for testing are not counted on my contribs log?

[edit] Re: Canuckster's user & talk pages

Thanks, I ended up protecting them. He then reported me to ANI. :)Cheers, Sarah Ewart 14:21, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the Vandal Whacking Stick. I'll be sure to put it to very good use! :) Sarah Ewart 18:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A Gibraltarian

Its six of one and half a dozzen of the other. I think I've got a lot more done by acting reasonably and trying to co-operate with people, however on a large number of things the 'banned user' is pretty much right.

Playing by the rules has not got that offensive article about 'Spanish Gibraltarians' removed, or rather it has but it keeps coming back until people get fed up complaining/

Its also taken up a lot of time which could have been used to generate real content for my websites or wikipedia.

Perhaps the answer is for the banned user to vandalise it endlessly and leave everything else alone, I may suggest that to him on email.

[edit] Thanks for voting

I appreciate the feedback that I received during the RfA process. Unfortunately, I withdrew my candidacy. However, your participation is appreciated. I have made my New Years Resolution (effective immediately) to attempt to vote on at least 50 WP:XFD/week (on at least 5 different days), to spend 5 hours/week on WP:NPP, to be active in WikiProjects and to change the emphasis of my watchlist from editorial oversight to vandalism prevention. I have replaced several links that I had on my list to some that I think are more highly vandalized (Tiger Woods, Barry Bonds, my congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr., my senator Barrack Obama and Jesse Jackson). My first day under my newly turned leaf was about what I hope a typical day to be. I quickly found a vandal, made a few editorial changes to Donald Trump, voted at WP:CFD and WP:AFD, continued attempted revitalization of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chicago and proposed a new stub type as a result of WP:NPP patrol. I hope this will broaden my wikipedia experience in a way that makes me a better administrator candidate. I hope to feel more ready to be an admin in another 3000 or so edits.

[edit] My RFA

Hey, thanks for participating in my recent RFA. You were amongst a number of editors who considered that I wasn't ready for the mop yet and as a consequence the RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). I am extremely grateful that you took the time to advise me on to improve as a Wikipedian and I'd like to assure you that I'll do my level best to develop my skills here to a point where you may feel you could trust me with the mop.

I've been blown away by the level of interest taken in my RFA and appreciate the time and energy dedicated by all the editors who have contributed to it, support, oppose and neutral alike. I hope to bump into you again soon and look forward to serving you and Wikipedia in any way I can. Cheers!

[edit] Newyorkbrad's RfA

Thank you for your support on my RfA, which closed favorably this morning, as well as for your kind comment accompanying your !vote. I appreciate the confidence the community has placed in me and am looking forward to my new responsibilities. Please let me know if ever you have any comments or suggestions, especially as I am learning how to use the tools. Best regards, Newyorkbrad 17:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks a ton for reverting the vandalism on my page. It is greatly appreciated and keep up the great work! Chickyfuzz123^{(user talk)} 03:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

...(Checking the edit summaries and 1st and last edits) suggests that they were once me. 68.39.174.238 23:00, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Czech arbitration

Thanks, I am updating the links. I have also e-mailed Thatcher131 about the case; perhaps it was the wrong person, but hopefully it'll reach the correct place. - Mike Rosoft 09:14, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anna Nicole Smith

Does this http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/02/08/anna.nicole.collapses/index.html count as a source for Smith's death? WhisperToMe 21:02, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Press Inquiry

I'm a writer at the LA Times on internet topics. Been watching the Anna Nicole page unfold and reading the history of how you updated and protected the page. Seems like it would make a great story - the work that the frontline troops of wikipedia do.

Would you be available to chat with me at all tomorrow? Wouild love to hear from you how it all went down.

Many thanks,

[edit] My RFA

Yeah, I'll withdraw. I'm not bugged by that or anything. I'll return in a month with it. I just wanted to try an RFA since the last few days were getting annoying with vandals and bad pages. Also, my English I only give it a '3' since it isn't a language use often, even in Canada, where I live. Thanks for guiding me. It was greatly appreciated. Mbralchenko 21:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal with a grudge

Obviously, the short-term blocks don't seem to work; personally, I'd block the entire range for at least a year. (Are there any more accounts registered from the range?) I don't think I should single-handedly take such drastic actions as a long-term block of the entire Internet provider without agreement of the other administrators; in the meanwhile, I am going to write an explanation at User:Mike Rosoft/Vandal with a grudge. - Mike Rosoft 12:02, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, what does this message mean? Scobell302 08:47, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Nothing in particular; it's nonsense based on a classical poem by Karel Jaromír Erben and it's not insulting by itself. In Czech, "červený kohout" means "a red cock" (a literal one) and it's also a figurative term for "fire"; however, in his usernames he probably uses it as a double entendre (the related word "kokot", referring to a literal cock in dialects, is also used as a vulgar term for a penis). See contributions of one of his first accounts. Hope this is good as an explanation. - Mike Rosoft 12:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I have fixed the page. - Mike Rosoft 19:07, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

By the way, I am preparing a letter (more correctly, an e-mail) of complaint to his Internet providers. The example message instructs the recipient to use Wikipedia:Contact us for further contact with the Wikimedia Foundation (since I am not an official representative); after searching the section for some time, I am still not sure which address they should respond to. - Mike Rosoft 19:26, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
