Hello Y0u,

Welcome to Wikipedia.

BTW, Why are you trying to protect your SandBox article? Doing some research on revert wars - (what's that)? - Stevey7788

Actually, I'm keeping it here until I find the place where you test creating new pages... I can't find it (searched for a few hours) and I'm not sure that I want to list it as a user subpage because I don't want it to be about me, just something I found (based on an article which as far as I can tell is in the public domain) and contributed. Y0u 02:20, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)

Just create a user subpage titled "Test page please don't edit," or something like that. Stevey7788

Done. Actually, I want other people to edit (so long as they keep the overall original page- although I would have no objections if it slowly evolved...) I consider this my "Random Nonsense" section.

Compleat history of the world has been moved here: User:Y0u/Compleat history of the world Feel free to edit! Deleted sandbox material. - Stevey7788

Sorry about the block, it was a mistake. You were only blocked for one minute. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- Curps 03:15, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and its articles should not resemble dictionary entries. I've vented my annoyance at quite a few substub authors in edit summaries over the last few days as I've been trying to clean up the gigantic cesspool that is Category:Substubs. Imagine three thousand articles that don't consist of more than two sentences at best. Now imagine having seen several hundred substubs where the author didn't seem to care enough about the subject to even bother with a verb. After a while, it makes you irritable to the point of berating people without even bothering to see who wrote the thing.

It's my own personal opinion that nobody should start an article unless they can write a couple-of-three sentences about the subject. Otherwise, why bother? It doesn't violate any actual rules, but it's not good style, nor is it terribly helpful to readers. -- Cyrius|✎ 03:37, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Denjo is not adding nonsense, s/he is adding BIONICLE fancruft. There is a very important difference: nonsense is in bad faith, Denjo's contributions are not. I hate fancruft, and I'm sure you do to, but it isn't nonsense. I'm working on cleaning up after Denjo now, so don't worry about it to much. Cheers, →Iñgōlemo← ^talk 00:08, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)

Hello! When you add a warning about spam-links (or vandalims) to a Talk page, could you sign it? It makes it easier for future editors to gauge the frequency and seriousness of repeat offences if the earlier warnings are dated. Thanks. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 08:31, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed you removed a vote made by an anonymous user. As a rule, we don't ever remove votes, even if they're made in bad faith (which this vote certainly wasn't). It's up to the administrator closing the vote to evaluate the merits of each vote. Anonymous votes cast by obvious sockpuppets are generally disregarded; votes by genuine Wikipedians who haven't registered are usually at least taken into consideration. Standard procedure for votes that are left unsigned is to add a signature, not to remove them. JRM · Talk 23:31, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)

The VfD nominations you are adding to the page aren't working correctly because they are categories, not articles. Categories should get {{cfd}} and go to Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion. I'll fix these up, if someone else doesn't beat me to it. Thanks. --Tabor 18:20, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Don't be afraid to list something for speedy deletion if it's definitely nonsense or vandalism. {{del}} will do it. Here's the criteria to follow. --Barfooz (talk) 22:37, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I don't understand why you sent me a welcome message... I've been a memeber here for almost as long as you have, and been going here since before you signed up. I'm not new to Wikipedia. I realize that in my last few discussion points I forgot to put my signature. I'm editing them now.

I opened your account. Our bank applied Rule 3.1, and now you have 125 initial coins. By accepting these initial coins, you accept rule 3 and you are also willing to give an appropriate amount of coins to newbies. Please express any possible disagreement in the rules page. You can use these coins as a medium of exchange here in wikipedia. For example, you can ask another wikipedian to make specific contributions, deletions, or cast votes for a subject, or pay him with your money for whatever reason. Its not bank's job to punish you in case your transactions are against wikipedia policy. But have in mind that if you are doing illegal transactions, you may be punished by admins. The bank is going to pay you 2 coins for each person you are going to introduce to the Bank.

Whatever transactions you are doing with other wikipedians, please do them in User_talk:Bank_of_Wikipedia. The trusted employees of the bank are going to confirm the validity of your transactions, and they are going to copy them (after a short delay) to your official account that resides in User:Bank_of_Wikipedia userpage.

You are welcome! Bank of Wikipedia 07:36, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This is because of Rule 3.1. In case you dont like this rule, please express your opinion about it. In case you think you are giving a lot fo money to newbies, you may ask the amount given to newbies to diminish (propose another A value in Rule 3.3). In case you think this newbie is a sockpuppet then, according to Rule 3.1, you have the power to judge (together with the rest bank accounts) and expell him/her/it from the bank.

Please inform the bank in case you dont want to receive furhter messages from the bank concerning newbies arrival and payement.

Yours truly. Bank of Wikipedia 05:56, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thank You for telling me about the GNU Free Documentation License. I did not know about that, and was confused as to why you had removed my signatures. Does this mean that none of the pages I write I can accredit myself with. (Not including the talk pages) So if I write an article on a topic that is not copyrighted will I be able to put my signature there? Also, am I using this talk feature correctly, and is this the only way to communicate through Wikipedia? --Aslan's Mane 18:32, Jun 8, 2005

Hi Y0u,

You have placed the above-mentioned image for speedy deletion. However after looking at the circumstances I recommend that you pass it through Images for Deletion instead.

- Best regards, Mailer Diablo 20:04, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I personally think that it can be removed, and I voiced my support for it. I mainly think it is a copyvio, plus I do not know if the image can be deleted solely that it is used for vandalism. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 20:27, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The IFD template is treated the same way as the VFD template, and should not be removed until a judgement is made whether to keep or retain the image in question. - Mailer Diablo 05:07, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

how did y0u send a message? i am intriged... GregLoutsenko 15:51, Jun 10, 2005

no one ever read my suggestions, so...

i just spent last couple of minutes clicking the random article link in wikipedia and found to my suprise that most of the article i came across were in fact couple of pages long and were not a stub. where do you people think wikipedia is heading?

i recon that in a decade all other encyclopedeas will be obsolete or will have to merge in order to keep up with wikipedia's growth rate. even encarta has now began allowing user editing, although any editing has to be approved by an editor first.

although i have some doubts if wikipedia will be able to maintain its organisation of articles in order, already there are many article which are basically on the same topic but are placed under slightly different names. i certainly hope that the community and the designers will be able to come up with solutions for these problems. i would really hope that wikipedia will be able to expand into more technical topics, like details of complier error messages and specific, very technical, medical topics, i dont c why it cant happen. wikipedia has no limits on space so pretty much any article is acceptable. if only wikipedia can get a wider community of users.

i also would really like a spell checker for the editing section and a more visual editing environment. i also think that there should be a simple 10 star review system of articles, a review for quality of language, review for point of view, and correctness.

the "discussion" section should be made into a standard forum type, because at the minute the layout does make it difficut to read through suggestions, or at least more difficult then would have been if it was a standard forum, like phpbb.

and why not have google ads?! it will bring in more cash to speed up the servers...

there should really be a more organized layout of the help section/rules section and stuff on templates and stubs. it took me like days to figure all the stuff out needed and i still dont think i know all the formatting tricks and the way wiki works/where to find stubs to write on and so on. its just a mess of links.

also i would really like way more statistics for each article, or at least a reorganization of stat section coz at the minute it takes me far too long to find stats i am looking for, most of the time these stats dont even exist. GregLoutsenko 16:02, Jun 10, 2005

what is the female to male ratio of wikipedeans? it seems only males are active, and more spacificly i think that wikipedea tends to focus more on computing and programming and science then anything else becuase of the kinds of people who are intrested in this project.

You fa----s deleted (Image:stuffed.jpg)! (Offensive username changed) 18:11, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

i was thinking is there like list of stable articles? by that i mean articles which are fairly big and they have not been changed for a long time. if wiki could then cross reference that with popularity of articles it could make it easier to prioritse making spoken versions of the articles. btw when a minor change occures to an article does the sound version get deleted automaticly? if not it should because it will be incorret. although this leaves wiki wide open to vandalism where 1 guy could slightly change all the spoken articles.--GregLoutsenko 21:11, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

what i mean is that sarticles which havent been massivly added to. there must be some articles which are simply it, as good as its going to get. maybe some sections will still be tweaked but the nuts and bolts of the articles is there...--GregLoutsenko 21:25, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hey Y0u,

I just came across your userpage (and took a look at your contr) again, and I must say, wow! I'm actually considering nominating you for adminship, but perhaps a bit later in the future as you're a bit short of edit counts. Anyway, keep up the great work! =D

- Cheers, Mailer Diablo 22:23, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

you article Computer_and_video_games_that_have_been_considered_the_greatest_ever is a bit biased towards modern games which are the ones which have been reviewed by industry mags and websites like pcgamer and gamespot. however other much much much more important games should be in that article too. i was actually thinking of doing games which changed the world article yesterday but decided against it coz its just going to be my opinion. anyway try adding games like wolfenstein, doom, duke nukem, pong, tetris (although is on the list it needs a way biggermention), pacman, space invaders, dune 2. there are many other vintage games which need to be added and considered. i also think more pictures are needed.--GregLoutsenko 16:17, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

wikinfo is intresting because they are trying to correct some of the "problems" with wikipedia, like trying to get rid of edit wars by simply allowing articles to be biased. however any encyclopedia must be clearly unbiased and balanced. if someone wants to write something critical or biased they can make a website or write a book, not write it in an encyclopeadia. the edit wars are there for a reason, to make sure articles are of highest standard and do not just cover i side (like fox news). i believe that any edit war can be absolutly resolved through simply having a "critism" section, like say on the microsoft article, or saying something like "....while others would say that....and this may be true because..." then let the reader form their own final opinion. --GregLoutsenko 17:40, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Isn't that what the discussion pages are for? → JarlaxleArtemis 23:48, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

Hey there, Y0u;

What's your thinking on this entry? On the one hand, I'm loath to delete it, because - if all the claims in the article are true - it's a fairly significant retailer/online landmark (mid-90s online DVD retailer). On the other hand, the user who created it seems to be highly POV and very adamant about its importance... "methinks he doth protest too much". I'd appreciate your input; drop me one on my Talk page, please. jglc | t | c 18:37, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Uh-oh. Problems: I tried to re-edit DVDEmpire.com for a more NPOV entry, and the user has come after me on my talk page, telling me that my grammar was poor, I have "problems with pornography", and asking me for information on my "supervisor". Can you please help me out with this? Thanks, jglc | t | c 20:07, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• • I don't know what to make of all this. On the one hand, I accept that his/her original article was pretty well-written. On the other hand, I feel very strongly that the entry, in its original version, was very nearly ad-copy: that is needed to be cleaned up to present a neutral, encyclopaedic, version of events.
  • In addition, user just posted this comment on my talk page, which suggests to me that s/he may very well be an employee of DVDEmpire.com]. Which may or may not be a strike against him/her, but is still something to consider.
  • All in all: I really don't mean to be a vandal or start an edit war. I do feel strongly about Wikipedia being as NPOV as possible, as well as not being a web-directory or promotional tool/funnel for advertisors. I'm conflicted as to what I ought to do (let Los_Diablos simply run rampant over the entry? Watch the page with an iron fist? Somewhere in between?), and would greatly appreciate some advice. jglc | t | c 21:00, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

As per your suggestion, DVDEmpire.com is (obviously) on my Watchlist. I will continue to strive for NPOV and to get along with Los Diablos. Here's hoping it won't be too much stress. jglc | t | c 21:11, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

if you read his initial posts, s/he made it clear that he has problems with pornography. next, under the guise of npov, he ruined the article and many of the ideas behind it. lastly, his grammar is atrocious. i don't understand how that guy happened along, seconds after i made my page live, and deleted graphics (mistakeningly i might add), but i will not sit by and let him ruin my piece cause s/he just likes jerking people around. take a look at his talk page, i'm not the only one with issues with him. what do you do with wikipedians run amuck? 15:35, Jun 16, 2005 Los Diablos

In my defense, I would like to state that my grammar is impeccable. I have test scores, if you want to see them ;) jglc | t | c 20:56, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

in jasonglchu's zeal to defend the "rules" of this site (which i understand are more like guidelines), jasonglchu is trampling on the very ideas wikipedia was founded on.

1. wikipedia is a COMMUNITY of users: if jasonglchu edits new entries (as s/he so proudly admitted to doing to mine within seconds of its going live on the site) to how jasonglchu deems it should be, then are you not acting counter to the basic idea of wiki... that this site is a community of people, where people from all walks of life contribute. it is not one person, with by all appearances nothing else to do, editing every post to how he wants it to read.

as i see it, jasonglchu's behavior toward newcomers is the proverbial "weak link" of this site and will ultimately be its downfall. by jasonglchu's own admission, jasonglchu didn't even read the entry and was trying to delete it. that is just absurd.

2. newcomers are the life blood of wikipedia: if jasonglchu attacks every newcomer to wikipedia seconds after they list an entry, as he did with me, then why would someone want to come back and list something else on this site. after i saved my entry, i didn't even get a new browser window open and clicked over to wikipedia before my graphic had been taken down and jasonglchu was threatening to delete the entire entry. and being a newcomer, i not only found that highly combative, but felt as though i had to respond in kind before he destroyed my work.

i for one will never be back except to monitor my page. and i think "YOu" and jasonglchu both need to read this page, jasonglchu pretty much VIOLATED EVERY guideline set forth for conduct.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_don%27t_bite_the_newcomers

3. lastly, i am making a few edits to the page. but i will leave your NPOV changes in, not because i think you are right, but because i simply don't have the time to keep fighting you over this.

i will be changing the heading of the 3rd chapter to read simply "Future Expansion." and in that following paragraph, "Adult Entertainment" to "Adult Movies" which wikilinks to pornography.

i see that as a compromise.

Los Diablos 14:03, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi You. I've been a long time using Wikipedia and seeking to remove vandalism, update websites and provide adequate information especially when it comes to concern my mother country Malta.

Before submitting using my username - Maltesedog - I have submitted a number of entries without even registering/logging in due to pressure of time. 212.56.128.186.

I beg to request to become an administrator of Wikipedia especially to monitor Maltese related sites. The number of vuglur words in Maltese which I found in the respective sites is not something nice.

wikipedia needs to be split into wikipedia, autobiographys and geographical locations. it seems like a logical step from wikinews and wikispecies. it will also make it easier for anyone who wants to write an article on a geographical location or a person.--GregLoutsenko 5 July 2005 12:26 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the adminship offer. But I will only be an administrator if the Wikipedia community needs me and my help. I don't ever want to be admin to be king, and it could be a big responsibilty. If you would like to make me admin, please think about it first. I will happily withdraw if you really think I'm not fit for such a job. — Stevey7788 (talk) 6 July 2005 20:32 (UTC)

I humbly wish to say that I would not like to be an admin. I just feel sort of not fit for it. Thank you for your offer anyways. — Stevey7788 (talk) 7 July 2005 00:35 (UTC)

Take a look at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Block behaviour changes. --cesarb 00:26, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure exactly what you were trying to say by that link. Were you saying only that the user was allowed to edit their userpage? The user was obviously incorrect in claiming to be no longer banned [2], and that's the reason I reverted that. Were you explaining that they could edit the userpage? Perhaps I should watch the noticeboard more closely. You (Talk) 00:34, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

I was just pointing that even users banned with the hardest possible of all bans can still edit their user talk pages. --cesarb 00:56, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Y0u,

Although I first refused your offer, I think I've changed my mind about the adminship thing. Since I do a LOT of wikifying, RC patroling, new page patroling, vandalism whacking, new user welcoming, etc. I really think I need some admin tools and admin status to help me work better. You can go ahead and nominate me for adminship. Thanks very much. — Stevey7788 (talk) 20:07, 16 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your support and nominating me for adminship. However, you may also want to tell other people about what you think of my etiquette and sttitude towards other Wikipedians, not just that I will make great use of the admin tools. Thanks very much. — Stevey7788 (talk) 21:41, 17 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You showed support for This week's Improvement Drive. This week Mario was selected to be improved to featured article status. Hope you can help…

is there someone or a page that i am supposed to contact?

--jonasaurus 00:55, 18 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. the reason i ask is that alot of the things that i feel I will be able to help wikipedia better once i am a sysop

I'll take this one. Jonasaurus, go to RfA then to self nominations and nominate yourself there following instructions. Be warned, people have to vote you in with bout a 3/4 majority and people can be harsh. Redwolf24 01:56, 18 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

By the way Y0u, I voted on that guy you nominated, I'll trust you. With respect, Redwolf24

I copied this message from RedWolf24's user page. I wonder if this message is OK on my user page. Will anybody accuse me of advertizing on my user, or will it give people a negative impression of me as campaigning recklessly for adminship? I'm not saying that RedWolf24 and Essjay are reckless campaigners, I am just a little concerned about the message. Thanks. — Stevey7788 (talk) 17:50, 18 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Should not" is not the correct term here. "I feel that it should not" is closer to what I mean. I was merely trying to shed a different light over the discussion, since it appeared to me that you were under the impression that the opposition was being made to those edits alone, which, by all means, does not make much sense (though it has been done in the past). But opposing to an editor that feels strongly enough against certain words to censor them goes strictly against the ideals of the Wikipedia, so that was what my comment was about. For further clarifications, feel free to contact me. --Sn0wflake 21:24, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Also see my reply on the RfA. I was never aware of any policy which says that removing offensive words is not something to be done on Wikipedia. I really thought that I was doing something helpful to Wikipedia. But if some people oppose my actions and on removal of vulgar words, I will be very careful not to remove them to avoid POV and conflict. — Stevey7788 (talk) 22:34, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The ESRB article for the Not Rated entry says Game has been created before the formation of the ESRB, or the ESRB has chosen not to rate the game for one or more factors, which is why I thought it would apply. I'll admit though, that "N/A" might still be better. --ADeveria 20:16, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, just a quick note to express my gratitude for your support of my RfA. I'm sure I'll become a familiar face on places like the Administrator's Noticeboard and Requests for Adminship, as well as the murkier parts of my new job. "From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." (Luke 12:48, NIV) Never was a truer word spoken. I feel empowered, yes, but not in the "oooh cool delete button!" way I was kind of expecting. Already I feel the weight of the responsibility I have now been entrusted with, a weight that will no doubt reduce given time. Thank you for believing in me. :) Garrett^Talk 10:34, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed in the Dragon Quest VII article that you changed CD to CD-ROM in the infobox. I'm fine with that, but if that is to be the standard, the infobox example should be changed to match. --Pagrashtak 04:42, 23 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Y0u, thank you very much for your help and your kindness during my RfA. The reason there are so many oppose's appears to be because of a curious domino effect about "censorship". However, if you want to nominate me for adminship again after a few months, I will be sure to carefully read and memorize as many Wikipedia guidelines and policies, and I will also regularly be active in VfD, IfD, and TfD procedures. I am currently reading a lot of Wikipedia namespace pages, and I am very sure that I will be more ready for next time's RfA. As I had since my beginnings on Wikipedia, I will keep on improving articles, which is what I think Wikipedia is all about. — Stevey7788 (talk) 20:00, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Check out all the school stubs being written by User:Maoririder. In my mind, this is precisely the problem with allowing all schools; you get these ten-second microstubs.

• I appreciate you looking at his articles; a few of us have been trying to knock a little sense into his head (that he needs to actually include some information in his articles); maybe it'll catch. I understand your view on schools, and I wouldn't nominate one on notability grounds, simply because they'll never be deleted on those grounds. Again thanks for looking at those articles; I don't work on school articles on principle.--Scimitar ^parley 19:27, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

So, that was surprising to find. Not like I don't appreciate the revision of a spelling error--I just didn't think it was Wikipedia policy to edit another user's individual page. Still, it was nice of you--however, for curiosity's sake I'd like to know how/why in the world you found my page and decided to copy-edit it. Still, that was just an awesome example of how there are good, cool people left on Wikipedia.

Greetings! You have edited the Katie Holmes page in the past. I've completely reworked the article and have posted it on WP:PR in the hopes of advancing it to WP:FAC. I would be grateful for your comments at Wikipedia:Peer review/Katie Holmes/archive1. PedanticallySpeaking 18:47, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! I apologize in advance for (somewhat) reverting your page. According to Wikipedia's template substitution guidelines, {{test}} and similar templates should always be substed, partially due to performance issues. In your edit summary, you indicated that you reverted to leave the messages as originally written. In fact, substing these templates is the way to achieve this, as transcluded templates are prone to change as the template changes, but substed templates are fixed. Again, sorry for editing your talk page, I know this can be a sore spot for some editors, but I just wanted to make sure that you were aware of the subst guidelines. Pagrashtak 00:05, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for explaining it to me, and I apologize if I seemed difficult or stubborn. I originally reverted them since I wanted my talk page to be completely transparent and for the exact intent of anyone who left me messages to show (I wouldn't have dug up, some months ago, a vandalism warning to display if I didn't feel so strongly about having nothing to hide,) but most anyone checking my talk page would know that's a form message anyway. (Before anyone asks, I feel that the obscene remarks I have recieved I am justified in censoring since I make it clear at the top of my talk page that I reserve the right to do so, and if anyone really wanted to see them, it wouldn't be difficult to figure out to check the history.) Y0u | Y0ur talk page 03:10, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, I didn't think you were stubborn or anything. The somewhat long explanation is because some users are very particular about their user/talk page; I wanted to make sure I didn't tick you off in case you were such an editor. Glad to see you're a sensible person. To tell you the truth, those warnings are trolling, right? You could just delete them for all I care. I'm fortunate enough to have never been trolled on my page yet, but I once deleted a message left by an anon asking me to sign a petition regarding voice actors in some Sonic show. Pagrashtak 05:03, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.

Although my addition for "Super Conflict" [3]on the SNES "super nintendo entertainment system" my have seemed trivial or a prank to you. See [4]

I feel that this glitch should be mentioned as there are still people who play the original game and should heed warning before they corrupt their cartidge also. As carriers are a vastly important unit for naval/ground assaults, making more than one would be quite common for the average player of the game. The glitch occurs because when a second carrier is built, they did not properly program whether or not newly created carriers would carry aircraft. So by default these aircraft are spawned within but are corrupt because there are no rules set for the newly created aircraft.

Perhaps a reason why it was removed would be nice ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.167.147 (talk • contribs)

Hi YOu,

A long time ago (June 2005), you welcomed me to Wikipedia. I would have expressed my thanks then, but 1) I had trouble figuring out how to edit talk pages; and 2) your username made me think that I had triggered some "newbie" alarm, and had somehow sent an automated welcome to myself! (signed with the second-person pronoun for humor, or something) :) By the time I straightened all that out, it was 2006, and it seemed a bit little to come calling. I never forgot, though.

Now that we've randomly crossed Wiki-paths again, I thought I give that delayed thanks: your welcome accelerated my learning curve from "standstill" to "very slow", so I'll always be grateful! :) Your welcome-ee, Xoloz 22:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've nominated Video games that have been considered the greatest ever, an article you created, for deletion.

Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Video games that have been considered the greatest ever and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Video games that have been considered the greatest ever during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. _→AzaToth 14:58, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that's cool, I guess. I added a section where people could sign my page, but because nobody ssigned it, I decided to delete it. {{subst:Unsigned|Backtable|23:34, July 24, 2007)

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 01:42, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Y0u. Please consider adding your admin username to the growing list at Classification of admins. Best! -- Jreferee t/c 23:14, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi YOu. I'd like to collaborate in the article and the summary, but anytime I edit it creates conflicts due to the high number of edits going on at the same time. Is there any way we can organize something where we agree with what to add and fix rather than all diving in and therefore being less productive? Thanks.

I responded early on to an edit by User talk:Dudemanfellabra, and so far I have been the only person posting to his talk page. Could you please insert your welcome message with helpful links, as you did for me, some time ago? I would appreciate it. I did appreciate it back then, for me, too. Thanks, doncram (talk) 04:04, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
