Thank you!

Wow, a day for me -- what a pleasant surprise! You had some amazingly kind words to say, thank you very much for thinking of me. I've got a new job and haven't been around as much lately as I used to be (although I still keep an eye on my watchlist every morning), it's nice to know I'm still remembered. :) Best wishes to you and (as a fellow mother), good luck with all the joys and challenges of your baby's first year. Affectionately yours! — Catherine\^talk 18:57, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot!

I just wanted to let you know I was on and off WP because of some exams I have to do and almost forgot to thank you for the kind words you wrote on my page. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I vandalizise after the last warning back then when I was new, but I know now what happens;) ( a block) and you don't have to rush on the template, please take your time because I know you got a great deal of work on your hands. Again thank you for the great commets you left on my talk page,Best wishes-Arnon Chaffin ^{Got a message?} 23:12, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Love Not Riots deletion

~~An editor has asked for a deletion review of Love Not Riots. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review.~~ Darksun 23:35, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, that template seems awfully lazy and impersonal. I really don't think this article meets A7 criteria due to the press coverage and the notable figures supporting it. Maybe AFD worthy. --Darksun 23:38, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Henning Svensson

My apologies -- you just made a simple mistake in deleting the article, and I made a simple mistake in assuming bad faith. Simple human error on both our parts. I removed the comment. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 00:24, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I was assuming the Bad faith line was directed at me :) I can see on this matter I could be wrong to CSD the article, and that this may meet notability for sports people. I don't mind having the occasional harsh word thrown my way however, so happy there is no fallout. Still think the article is scraping the barrel of notability, but hey, more people disagree so happy to go along with it :). Raerth 00:35, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, at least both of you took it well. I do think I really need to watch what I say though, if I'm ever gonna become an admin. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 00:42, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

thanks

Thank you, Phaedriel, O oasis in the parched desert, O island in the stormy oceans.... sorry, that's the best poetry-wise I can do :) I will never forget your wonderful kindness - I am your slave. Note: I plan to use that poem the next time a girl breaks up with me. Rama's arrow (just a sexy boy) 02:59, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Glad you're online - can you please un-protect my userpage? I'm locked in the john, metaphorically speaking. Rama's arrow (just a sexy boy) 03:07, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Phaedriel - I trust you will not hesitate half-a-second in informing me if I can ever be of assistance. I am your minion, your Baldrick, your Dr. Watson, you slave for the rest of my days. The full extent of my gratitude cannot, sadly, be transmitted via the internet. Rama's arrow (just a sexy boy) 03:18, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

What I meant was words are not enough.. In reply to your question, I'd like to be courteous to ArbCom and wait till the case I'm presently involved in is cleared up, especially as ArbCom itself may conclude that I shouldn't be an admin. I certainly don't want to create fresh distractions from the core issues. Rama's arrow (just a sexy boy) 03:52, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Purge this

I noticed a "Purge this page" link on your user page. After I overcame the urge to click it to see what it did(it was difficult, trust me), I decided it might be wiser just to ask :) Wikidan829 03:49, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Made perfect sense. I thought it did something like wipe out your user page completely. I thought, my God, why would she put a link on there like that? haha Thanks! :) Wikidan829 03:57, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Coolio

That looks pretty sweet! Thanks :) I'll copy that onto my userpage, shall I? Thanks again, I'm so bad at this stuff :) – Riana ⁂ 08:43, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I'll have to do something about my talk header too, to make it look cool... I'll try to wrap my head around your code :) – Riana ⁂ 08:51, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

*phew*, wasn't looking forward to that No, no, I'll do it! </half hearted protests> :p – Riana ⁂ 08:56, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Go for it - only because I know you enjoy doing it more than I do :) – Riana ⁂ 09:01, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

A Quick Question

I am having a bit of trouble adding an external link to a page. The link is working properly, but even though I added the * for a bullet, the bullet will no show up and I am not sure exactly what I am doing wrong. If you could take at look at the WTFX-AM page, I would greatly appericate it. Also, let me know what I did wrong, so I won't do it again in the future. Thanks and Take Care....NeutralHomer ^T:C 15:05, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, ya got it to work:) I couldn't ask ya for more there. Many thanks! I am still learning that transcluding thing. Again, many thanks. Take Care....NeutralHomer ^T:C 09:05, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks....that helps me out in several places where I have had problems with WikiLinks and such. That will save much time and headache. Many thanks:) Take Care....NeutralHomer ^T:C 09:19, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Also, I new way to fight vandalism check it out!

My Serect Base,Please tell me what you think here, and anyone can use it too! take care-Arnon Chaffin ^{Got a message?} 18:55, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Elinor's Day

Thanks very much for that; it's very thoughtful. (I feel quite shy, now!) ElinorD (talk) 00:39, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Confirmation

I confirm it's me asking at your Wikisource talk page, dear Zhaladshar! :) Thank you, Phaedriel - 03:33, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Phaedriel,

I thought I'd leave a note here on this talk page as well. I've done the rename switch you requested, so s:User:Phaedriel is now your account. Good luck!—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 04:31, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

:)

Dear Sharon,

I can't express to you in words how delighted I was to receive your sweet gift, and how thankful I am now for your warm and kind words of friendship. Let me give you and your lovely daughter my heart of love. Thank you so much for making my day a blissful sunny day :)

Take good care, PeaceNT 18:51, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Catchup

Hey ;-) fairly-long-time (things move quickly on the Wiki :P) how are you? ~ Anthøny 22:24, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Feuilleton about Los Soneros del Barrio

Dear Phaedriel. Thank you for one more kind reply to this poor Swede. I may seem folish of me to discuss this d*mned article so much instead of just getting on with it. :-) I. e. writing it foolproof with a few references. So let me just explain my strange behaviour. The article in itself means little to me. I'm more interested in whether it would be worth it submitting new articles in general to Wikipedia (I'd be interested in writing about salsa bands but also other things of course). And if the rules are too blurred and/or the application of them would be to capriscious, then I know that I won't be interested in doing it. So I have simply been trying to figure out one or two things here...

Anyway, in this case, I was earlier looking forward towards a response from you to the following statement that I made (maybe I should have put it more clearly as a question): "But: I note that the band leader Frankie Vázquez has played with Spanish Harlem Orchestra which already is on Wikipedia. That would perhaps fulfill criteria no. 6 in notability. If it's enough that I simply write a sentence about that, [then] I could re-submit the article."

(I still think that another system eg. where a number of article topics were cleared (pre-approved) by someone with knowledge of the field in question would be preferable (more efficient, if you really want the articles to be written for Wikipedia, even by occasional volunteers) to the present order, but that's another issue.) Cmlewan 23:54, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

a smile for you

Hello, Phaedriel/Archive 35! You have been given this message in recognition of all you have done for Wikipedia, and also just for being you. Wikipedia's greatest strength is its contributors, and you are a valued and important part of that. I hope that this message has brightened your day, and that it encourages you to spread the WikiLove. Thanks again for your contributions, and have a good day!

Hi Sharon, thank you again for your dedication to Katefan0 on your userpage. I hope you aren't bothered by the ambivalence of my contribution to the petition page. I fully understand why someone who fears real life consequences would want never to return to Wikipedia. I do wish I had met her. Like I said, it would be great if she resumed editing, even under another name. It's all so sad. --Kyoko 04:36, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I think you're the best, but thanks! By the way, you are only the 2nd person I've given my smile template to, inspired by User:Husond's puffin template. Riana was the first, the guinea pig if you will. I just remembered that I should be subst'ing them. I look forward to your e-mail. Love ya! --Kyoko 04:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Forza?

Only ish familiar, I'm afraid, not very much so. Truth be told, I'm not the world's biggest Verdi fan, though reading the Grove article the thing looks rather interesting. I'll email that to you if you like. Are you after a recommended recording? Maybe have a chat with Kleinzach or GT or Folantin? Apologies for not being much help :( Cheers, Moreschi ^Talk 10:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, interesting. I'll do some looking for you and see what I can find. Cheers, Moreschi ^Talk 11:06, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Another Awesome Wikipedian

I have a few others up my sleeve after this one. ;) — $PЯINGrαgђ 18:46, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

You outdo yourself, Will, and you flatter me while you're at it. ;)

Sharon: Um well I checked it before I got on here and… :/ Anyway, K. Lastochka also is very deserving, and even though I will copy+paste this to my other friends' user talk pages, please give her support. She really needs it. — $PЯINGrαgђ 17:09, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

A Penny for your Thoughts

File:Many pennies.jpg

This should be fair enough, eh? •Felix• ^T 12:42, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello again Phaedriel, hope you are doing well. I would like to request your opinion on a quick, simple matter. On Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals I put up a discussion about making a Wikiproject Capitals. I've had some comments suggesting a taskforce of Wikiproject Cities. However, I want some more comments from skilled Wikipedians to decide upon a Wikiproject, Task Force or just nothing. Cheers! •Felix• ^T 14:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Here it is :P Why did Merry have to die? *cry* Will ^{(We're flying the flag all over the world)} 15:35, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh my... Many thoughts! Many Pennies! •Felix• ^T 12:42, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Help!

I'd like you to please see this. I'm not exactly sure what this guy's issue is, and I most likely didn't respond to it properly, but I think this could use the help of a loving person to set this straight. I'm not going to lie when I say that this person didn't give me the warm fuzzies when I first encountered them, then they leave me a weird message like this. What to do? Wikidan829 17:33, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks so much! Not to worry about the wait. There are time zones and people who have lives outside of WP, which I think everyone can understand ;) Wikidan829 13:22, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

My page!

Phaedriel, I will never be able to thank you enough for my new user page! Hooray! I woke up this morning, turn on my computer checked my talk page kind of groggy, went to get my breakfast and halfway through my breakfast I thought, "Did my talk page have a new header?" So, being my desk also doubles as my dining room table i checked it out! It is better than I could have imagined. Thank you for your hard work. I would give you an awary but you already have plenty! Thank you again and again! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 12:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

My userpage

Thanks for reverting vandalism to my userpage, much appreciated!--NeoNerd 13:12, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks ...

... for looking out for me! I was in the middle of a reply, so I posted it anyway. I think the editor in question needs to hear it! Thanks again :) - Alison ☺ 17:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC) (BTW, you're BOLDER than I anyday. Super job on the userpage)

Message.

It seems other people seem to tell you about their E-mails, so I thought I'd do the same with this one. It's quite amusing (but still to do with Wikipedia). Acalamari 17:25, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey Phaedriel

Hello again, I'm still thinking about whether to leave, but the ArbCom has not make the decision on the cases, which will determine if I still have faith on Wikipedia's fairness. So I'm waiting.

Here is an award for you.

However, I gave an jest award for User:Jayjg, but he angrily removed it and said I was harassing him, can you take a look, thanks! Wooyi^{Talk to me?} 18:16, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Katefan0

In remembrance of events a year ago this week, you might be interested in signing this, if you haven't already done so. TML 16:33, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

It is hard to believe it has been a year. I keep expecting to see her on my watchlist. KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:11, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sharon, I just wanted to say what a touching gesture it is that you put Katefan0 on your userpage. I don't know the whole story, but I think I know enough. It's sad to see how someone can be chased away from Wikipedia like that. I hope she's doing well, wherever she is. For that matter, I hope that things get better for you too. Love, Kyoko 00:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I couldn't ask her to come back, but how I miss her! Along with SlimVirgin and Jkelly, she played a huge role in making a horrific experience tolerable. Musical L inguist 16:28, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply, Sharon. Actually, I have kept in touch with Kate (though not as much as I should have) and sent her a long message yesterday. When you have friends of that quality, you don't throw them away just because they're not editing Wikipedia anymore. It's just occurred to me that it might seem tactless to come to one user's talk page to say how wonderful another user was! But I'm sure you know that you were very much missed as well, and that I was thrilled to suddenly see your name appear on my watchlist again. Hope all is well with you! Musical L inguist 22:24, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Kissy

Kitty extends his best regards, btw! :) El_C 19:35, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

A Wikipedia Question

Hey, I have noticed in the past couple days in a row, that on history pages and my watchlist, I will see a "Due to high database server lag, changes newer than 30 seconds may not be shown in this list" tag. This is new and I was wondering if it was something that happens during the summer months or if perhaps Wikipedia might have finally outgrew it's server. Just wondering. Take Care....NeutralHomer ^T:C 22:55, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Now the "Wikipedia doesn't have a page for so-and-so" I have seen many a time (normally it is when I am creating new pages...but this one was new. But, as long as the software and servers don't crash and all of Wikipedia disappears, which was my main worry, I am happy. I would hate to have to redo all those articles again.

Also, ever noticed how hard it is to write a message with a cat's tail swishing back and forth on your keyboard....and the cat the tail is attached to is directly in front of the monitor? I think he is trying to tell me something. :) Take Care....NeutralHomer ^T:C 18:59, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Why was the picture deleted?

Hello Sharon K., I followed the instructions very carefully while adding the picture to the "Sadiq Ali" article. Please let me know why you deleted it. Please email me at onestopx@shaw.ca if you want confirmation that it's a genuine picture and that there are no copyright issues. Thankyou and have a great day.--Kangan 00:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Because the image was licensed to Wikipedia only. If a image is granted a "free license" it must be used by others than Wikipedia; if that is not the case, we cannot use the image. Frankly, I would suggest to not upload the image again since Phaedriel's deletion is the third deletion of this image for one reason or another. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 03:25, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

What Zscout just said, Kangan :) Phaedriel - 16:18, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the day!

Hey Phaedriel!

Thank you very much for the day! Sceptre informed me of this neat honor. I'm not even sure what I can say, Phaedriel, except thank you. I'm pretty sure I'm not like the wise person described in the poem, but it's quite nice that you would say so. The little Asian girl looks just like me! ;) (Well, ok, not so much. But she's adorable). Again, thank you very much for your kindness. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 03:05, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, you made my day. Let me know if there's anything I can ever do for you. Thanks again, Firsfron of Ronchester 16:21, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Messed Rocker's Day

I added this, to May 7th of your archives b/c of a red link. Hope you didn't mind. Real96 13:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Have you tried Wikiquotes? That would be much better. I think they have passages, too. Real96 15:29, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

A sockpuppet

Hi, I think I have founded a sockpuppet, here's my evidence [1] but if you read the text carful you will see he say he wanted to be a Good wikipidian and his sockpuppet name is User:Goodwikipidian and he left me a message on my talk page [2] and request that Dom58! was unblock.If you look at his user page he award himsef a Lostbarnstar and if you look at his User contributions his second contribution and read the text it should said "Created page with {{userboxtop|Dom58!}}" and so on, but if you look at the name of it, the userboxtop it say Dom58!. Could you please help me see if he is a sockpuppet,Thank you-Arnon Chaffin ^{Got a message?} 14:46, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Indef blocked - sockpuppet alright. It's hard to believe them to be mere "friends" with previous interaction like this... Thanks for the heads up! Phaedriel - 14:59, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Your Welcome and thanks for the help,but I'm glad he was blocked,Take CareArnon Chaffin ^{Got a message?} 15:15, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Good catch Arnon! I'm kind of not surprised he came back again. His usage of multiple accounts to play the "good" and "bad" guy is a classic example of sockpuppetry. However, I'm not convinced he is going to change, or that he isn't going to come back under another account. Can we stop him from creating accounts altogether? Wikidan829 15:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Sous le ciel de Paris...

Il n'y a plus de vandalisme :) Damn, my French sucks...Thank you, that was quick. It's a shame that some pages are such vandal magnets. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 17:38, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

It's good to see you back. I thought you had left. Thanks for the message on my talk, I greatly appreciate it. ⇒ SWATJester ^{Denny Crane.} 19:01, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Email

Sorry Phaedriel, I did not receive your email as of now, just checked the mailbox. Can you please send it again. I apologize for the troubles. Thanks! Wooyi^{Talk to me?} 23:04, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sharon, I just got your e-mail. I'll reply when I can, hopefully sometime tomorrow, Tuesday by the latest (I might take a daytrip on Memorial Day). By the way, I hope you don't mind my removal of this message from your talk page. While you were away, User:Acalamari and User:Natalie Erin had problems with someone who was leaving messages on their talk pages saying that they were romantically involved, and the vandal also spent a lot of time creating inappropriately named accounts to that effect. I was concerned that this might be the same person. Love, Kyoko 23:30, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
