A.Z.

I think you have been either very naive or very stupid. A.Z. will not get unblocked without ArbCom, and the proceedings will be (as they always are in such cases) private. Drama on his talk page improves nothing and makes matters worse. Guy (Help!) 10:58, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I personally believe JzG's comment here to you was inappropriate. I know nothing about this specific case and it may well be that A.Z. will not get unblocked without ArbCom intervention; such is occasionally the case. I believe a much more civil message would have got the point across, however. --Yamla 20:23, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Draws

Daniel have you left your draw open? Gnangarra 04:08, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Fellowship of Friends article

Daniel, would you mind taking a look at the FOF Talk page? I have the impression that 2 admins (Guy and Yamla) are in "witch hunt mode" and we may have a case of abuse of power. Since you seem to be sensitive to those issues, let me know what you think. Mfantoni 02:51, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I haven't been very helpful there... I've been watching the article progress and keeping an eye on the talk page, I just don't know much about the organization and don't really have a strong opinion on the quasi-COI issue. I guess I basically agree with Love-in-ark's (and your?) point that virtually any editor who comes across the article and has knowledge to share is very likely affiliated or otherwise personally connected in one way or another... though ideally I guess it's probably best if everyone discloses personal ties (negative ones included, of course). I'll be sure to keep an eye out and do my best to help if anything crazy is going on! :) — xDanielx T/C 06:11, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

RfA for Canadian Paul

Image:Arnold Schwarzenegger 2004-01-30.jpg

Four years ago this day, a foreigner was voted by the community to serve a land that he loved. Today, a new foreigner humbly accepts the charge and support of serving a community that he loves. Hopefully, he won't disappoint.


Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a vote of (47/0/1). The trust bestowed upon me by the community is one of the most touching honours that I have ever received, and I vow not to let you down. Whether you have suggestions for ways in which I could improve, a request for assistance or just need someone to listen, my talk page and my email are always open. I pledge to do what I can to help this project, in the words of a man who needs no introduction, "make the internet not suck." A special thank you goes out to Tim Vickers for nominating me. Cheers, CP 22:53, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Thx spam


Thank you, XDanielx, for supporting my RfB, which I withdrew at a final tally of (33/12/1). I failed to overcome the not unforeseeable opposition, but I am humbled by some extremely supportive, encouraging words I could read. In order to honor your trust, I once again vow to continue working and improving. Please contact me should you have any advice or recommendation to give. Or, should you need assistance. I am, as will always be, at your service. Again, please accept my most sincere gratitude.

Best regards, Húsönd 03:13, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

List of basic philosophy topics

Nice work on.the list. I've touched up the lead a little, retaining the essence of your changes. You may want to take a look.

I hope you are interested in knowledge as a whole. If so, we could really use your help at Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists of basic topics.

The Transhumanist (talk) 22:06, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I have quite a bit on my plate so I'm not sure when I'll get to the other basic topics lists, but I think the lists are a great resource and the WikiProject an excellent idea. I'll add my name to the members list before I forget.
What would you think about trimming the basic philosophy topics list somewhat, and merging some sub-sections? I'm inclined to say that more brevity would perhaps benefit readers rather than more detail, but you know the goals of the lists better than anyone. :-)
— xDanielx T/C\R 22:44, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm glad you like it.
I look forward to seeing you at the WikiProject.
Trimming is fine, as long as links are provided on where to find more detail.

Wittgenstein Page

Just thought I'd drop you a note of thanks/appreciation for your work on the Wittgenstein page. I've been disgruntled several times before by Wikipedia, and so I'm very glad to see someone who is both level-headed and knows what they're doing. Keep up the good work!

Basic ethics topics

Hi - in response to your email, I restored the article on list of basic ethics topics and userfied it (moved it into your userspace). I hope that's OK. It's now at User:XDanielx/List of basic ethics topics. As you can see, it's basically just a skeleton with no content, but perhaps there's something there that you will find useful. When you're done with it, you can just tag it with {{db-userreq}} (or let me know) and an admin will delete it from your userspace. Hope that's helpful - let me know if there's anything else I can do. MastCell Talk 16:06, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Perfect, thanks! — xDanielx T/C\R 23:03, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Affiliate marketing

Hi Daniel

when you did the copyedit on Affiliate marketing somehow the interwikilinks with the strange characters such as Russian and Hebrew were trashed. Can your browser/editor handle unicode? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your positive response. I suspect it may have happened to me too when I used notepad under windows 98 to edit! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:20, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello again too and Aff.Mkt. comments

Hi Daniel, good to see that you are back (if you were gone and just just busy elsewhere :) ). See my (long) comments to your questions at my talk page :) Cheers! --roy<sac> Talk! .oOo. 23:27, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Do we really need 50 billion Fredrick C Hatfield redirects?

I like what you're doing, but do we really need every single possible capitalization and whether you put a period after the C in his middle name as a redirect? I'm pretty sure if someone just mistypes under the wiki search enough of the name will show up on the actual article.  :-) - Jameson L. Tai talk ♦ contribs 09:30, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Of course we do! I haven't even started on the spelling variations! =] Well, okay, maybe I got slightly carried away. Good thing disk space is cheap, or the Foundation would be after me by now! :) — xDanielx T/C\R 09:36, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
lol the donations were supposed to go to sending copies of Wikipedia to third world countries... not to correct someone's spelling errors... *coughs as I press F7* hahahahahahahha It's ok you're not alone. I'm just back from a Wikibreak and I was going to do a little new page patrols before I fall asleep, and your article was one of the first ones I saw. It was actually kinda funny. :D - Jameson L.
