That's good to hear (from my talkpage). How exactly did you find the RfA section so quickly. You do understand that it smells funny, don't you? Keeper | 76 00:06, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

::Interesting. From what I can tell, that makes you one of these. Care to comment further? Keeper | 76 00:19, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't personally attack anyone. Or at least I try not to. What about my comments do you feel is a personal attack? Keeper | 76 00:29, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Ok, 'nuff said. I've stricken my comment above. By the way, if you add four tildes after your talkpage entries (looks like this, ~~~~), I will know who commented on my talkpage. Keeper | 76 00:38, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


You called the nominee an idiot and a waste of a mop. The comment should be completely removed instead of struck. And as far as "personal attacks" go, please read WP:KETTLE. Keeper | 76 19:37, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. First, an RfA is generally not considered a "vote" but a "discussion" Have you looked through the nominee's contributions/edit history/talkpage/etc? Or are you basing your "vote" on what others' have said in the RfA forum? Everyone who is a good faith editor is welcome to participate there and anywhere else they feel they want to. I strongly encourage you to restrike your comment and add what you really "meant" below it because right now you have very little credibility for salvaging. That would help though. Cheers, Keeper | 76 19:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I re-struck your comment. To do a strikeout. Simply type <s> immediately in front of what you want to strike, and then add a </s> immediately after the end of what you want to strike. Right now, if you'd like to add something constructive to the discussion, you are more than welcome. Keeper | 76 20:11, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 00:35, 29 January 2008 (UTC) OK, Thank you VandleBlaster (talk) 00:37, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
