User talk:Yanksox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hey guy! Listen, we are all human here. I have made mistakes, we all have. If you don’t want to make mistakes, just stop editing. That’s right. Going further, just stop doing your job in real life. I’m not done. Just stop being a friend to someone, after all, you might make a mistake. I’m not done yet- It gets better. Just stop being HUMAN! How dare we as a group of editors expect our admins to be anything other that robotic machines to maintain this project, and protect it based on not just policies, but human judgment.
All the sarcasm and my emotions aside - Yanksox, you have done a great job, your work here is appreciated, and don’t ever let what happens here affect your life outside this project. If this project cannot respect the decency and dignity of people outside this venture, why should we let that affect our lives who are unpaid for our contribs, etc. Do not let this place get you down. It is not worth it. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 05:00, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brian Peppers
Hi, I'm not a vandal or anything, I'm just genuinely curious, and the article said that I should contact the admin who deleted the article if I wanted to know why.
Who is this Brian Peppers? I've heard of him, and seen him on jokes sites. But is it true what they say about him? That's why I checked Wikipedia, to see if any of it's true. Why is his article protected? Is there anyway I can see one of the draughts?

[edit] Admin Coaching Re-confirmation
Hello, previously you expressed interest in participating in the Wikipedia:Admin coaching project.

Please visit Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Status to update your status and move your entry to the Active list.

Hi. That user's unblock request might be worth considering. Sandstein (talk) 19:45, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'd be willing to keep an eye on them, if you wanna unblock. They appear to be willing to contribute constructively this time around. SQLQuery me! 20:45, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My RfB
I wanted to personally thank you, Yank (putting Sox after Yank is borderline blasphemous, you know :-P ), for your support in my recent RfB. I am thankful and appreciative that you feel that I am worthy of the trust the community requires of its bureaucrats, and I hope to continue to behave in a way that maintains your trust in me and my actions. I have heard the community's voice that they require more of a presence at RfA's of prospective bureaucrats, and I will do my best over the near future to demonstrate such a presence and allow the community to see my philosophy and practices in action. I hope I can continue to count on your support when I decide to once again undergo an RfB. If you have any suggestions, comments, or constructive criticisms, please let me know via talkpage or e-mail. Thank you again. -- Avi (talk) 15:27, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] snookered?
Hey Yanksox, long time no see... glad to see you're around. Regarding our friend's talk page User talk:Snookerhorn, he's persisted so I warned him again, a bit more firmly... He'll be wearing a block if he doesn't knock it off. I need to go review all his other socks more closely too, I think. ++Lar: t/c 13:01, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
