Er

Er, I didn't find it offensive. I found it amusing. I thought I made that clear. JoshuaZ (talk) 14:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

And just noticed footnote 4. Had not noticed that the first time I saw that picture. Quite amusing. JoshuaZ (talk) 21:22, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Michael Willis

Is he is or is he aint-- notable enough for an article? Lots of small parts, albeit one or two recurring. No awards I see.

Thanks. Would you like to offer a few words of advice or comfort to the folks that want to resurrect the 9 times deleted article about the political scientist? ((Talk:Michael Willis)) Cheers. Dlohcierekim Deleted? 14:04, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Not sure what to make of all their "outrage." Cheers, Dlohcierekim Deleted? 22:30, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Q&A

Thanks for letting me know about the Q&A. I'm at work now, but will address it when I get home. Note that the dates have been changed, so we have a couple more weeks to get the answers right. Salka (talk) 00:48, 15 February 2008 (UTC) (Lankiveil).

I'm trying to work out a rough outline of what a guest can expect to pay in Brisbane, here. I'm drawing on my most recent international travel, but can you think of anything else that needs to be included there? This is in response to the Q&A post that has been made. Cheers, Lankiveil 11:20, 19 February 2008 (UTC).

Cool!

Thanks for the encouragement! I really appreciate the thought. Out of the blue, I receive well wishes. Gracias. --Doczilla 08:20, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm testing a new signature. That was supposed to have been green. Yeesh. --Doczilla 08:20, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
If you're going to go helping a guy out of the blue and saving him some trial and error trouble, you've got to brace yourself to get some stars thrown at you. So take this Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar or else. (Thanks!) Doczilla RAWR! 08:39, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I like the RAWR. Doczilla RAWR! 08:41, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
No. Is that a monobook thing? Doczilla RAWR! 08:43, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
lol is right. I read those slashes as if those were all one thing. My computer has some kind of messenger program, but I've had it turned off for security reasons. Doczilla RAWR! 08:48, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
I had just found it. You're right. It's Windows Messenger. Hold on while I activate it. If I owned my own computer, I'd probably know more about it, but the university I work for replaces my laptop for me once every three years. Doczilla RAWR! 08:51, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
It's on. It looks like my ID is simply the email address I entered. Doczilla RAWR! 08:56, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Still figuring it out. Doczilla RAWR! 09:01, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Between trial and error on the font, misreading the letters and slashes, and now not figuring out how to type a dang message in Messenger, I'm feeling like this is my special stupid hour. Doczilla RAWR! 09:04, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Sure seems like that's what I'm doing, but no letter appears and the computer makes a doink noise. Doczilla RAWR! 09:06, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Everything through their site looks like this should work. I'll bet this has something to do with the university's security issues regarding Messenger. I'll have to check with our tech people. Ah, well. Thanks for thinking to try. Doczilla RAWR! 09:19, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

AUSMUS

Thanks. (I never really left!) —Moondyne 10:08, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Yep, lurking as always. ;) —Moondyne 10:11, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
You're putting me under pressure. Give me a while. —Moondyne 10:15, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:LOCE

ya, sure. You betcha...I'll do a read through today, add some unreferenced BLP stuff, revert good faith edits, and then of course, copyedit. Just kidding, except the copyedit. Give me a few days, RL sucks right now. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 17:05, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Went through it a bit, made about 7 edits to different subsections and commented at the review page. Really, the grammar wasn't that bad to begin with, but I see the points made about article length, early life, and such, and wonder if it will in fact make FA as it sits. I've never heard of powderfinger (being an ethnocentric American after all), but anywho, I did what I could. Cheers mate, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 23:15, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

The Best

I have been looking at your reviews of various articles, and you are the best reviewer I have ever come across (I also take into account my own personal experiences of your reviews). Pat yourself on the back from me, because yer bloody good, yer are.--andreasegde (talk) 20:01, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

The Reviewers Award The Reviewers Award
This award goes to Dihydrogen Monoxide for being thoroughly thorough when reviewing articles, and also for dealing with the subject at hand, being very concise and clear, but without showing any signs of arrogance at all. --andreasegde (talk) 20:09, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Oh wow...thank you very much, I'm really really humbled. Hope to see some more reviews from you too :) dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 22:36, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

A question about GA reviewing

I noticed a response (diff) you got after writing a (very thorough, by the way) GA review on Daddy Yankee, as I've been watching it for a while. I got a similar one after reviewing In Rainbows, telling me that I should simply correct the mechanical issues I noted in the review. Now I'm wondering: what (if any) is consensus on reviewers correcting these types of errors? I thought you might know, as you have <ahem>quite</ahem> a bit of experience in this area. Kakofonous (talk) 20:31, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I've commented further at the talk page (diff), I think that sums up my position well. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 22:36, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Oh yes, and I think, personally, that you did the right thing on In Rainbows. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 22:40, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for both the response and the compliment! Kakofonous (talk) 22:42, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Oy vey! I forgot. Thanks for the reminder, I need to close it today. VanTucky 00:34, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Devourment

Done most of what you have said, requesting further feedback. Thanks. J Milburn (talk) 01:57, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

RFA

If you are interested, I answered the question on my RFA concerning the username reports. Icestorm815Talk 02:18, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Now neutral. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 02:22, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for participating in my RfA! It was closed as successful with 58 supporting, 0 opposing, and 2 neutral. I hope to demonstrate that your trust in me is rightly placed and am always open to critiques and suggestions. Cheers. MBisanz 04:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey, how are you doing? Alice in Chains finaly got promoted! If you have any free time would you mind commenting on Misplaced Pages:Featured list candidates/Alice in Chains discography for Alice in Chains discography? No problem if you don't. Cheers, —Burningclean  05:45, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

It got promoted?! Congrats! You deserved it after all that work. I'll take a look at the FLC too; good thing you can't bug me as much with lists ;) Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 05:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! Yeah, I noticed you are pretty good with lists. (and everything else but...) :D —Burningclean  03:32, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

NoU GAN

Thanks a bunch for the review of Nation of Ulysses. I took care of most of your suggestions, responded to the rest. Let me know what else you'd like to see done. I'll try and hook you up with a review of the Age of Empires games as soon as I get some free time (might be a few days). Drewcifer (talk) 06:33, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Doczilla's RfA

File:Godzilla(01)reverse.jpg
Thanks for !voting!

Thank you for !voting in my RfA which resulted in the collapse of civilization with 92 (94?) support, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral.
Blame jc37 and Hiding for nominating me, everyone who had questions or comments, everyone who !voted, everyone who tallied the numbers correctly, and WJBScribe who closed
without shouting, "No mop for you!"

Seriously, your response has overwhelmed me.
I am deeply grateful.

Element 37: Rubidium

Thank you for casting the 37th vote in support (and helping with the new signature).

I've responded to your comments here. The Prince (talk) 14:13, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

fac chaser

Just thought I'd let you know that I've nominated The Chaser APEC pranks for Featured Article Status. Any help would be appreciated, the FAC page is here.

Pity on The War's fac though. I think we need to change "Segments" to "Show format", which would incorporate how the show runs etc.  SpecialWindler talk  23:34, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I would like to get The War up to FA at some stage; might work on that when I'm done with Silverchair. Good luck with the pranks, I'll try and help out if necessary. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 05:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Portal:Powderfinger

... is up for deletion at MfD. Your opinion would be appreciated here. Cheers, Spebi 00:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Bah. Deletionism at its saddest (I mean seriously, who deletes portals?) I've watchlisted and will keep a close eye. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 05:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC)


Floaty-Thingy

Hey cool floaty-Thing. Hope yoy dont mind, but i stole it! (P.S. Haha, cool. Your names water) —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnarcistPig (talkcontribs) 05:15, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh no, not my floaty thingy! I suppose you can ignore the rules and steal it ;) dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 05:17, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Conferencing

I closed the AfD per your suggestion. Kakofonous (talk) 07:06, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

All looks good, nicely done. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 07:07, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Just a final question: was commenting the AfD out in the log the right thing to do, or do I just remove it? Kakofonous (talk) 07:12, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Oh, no, leave it where it is, for archving purposes. If you look at some old logs (as in, more than a month old, just for instance) all the AfDs are still there. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 07:13, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Alright, 'tis what I figured. Kakofonous (talk) 07:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Yep! Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 07:16, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Bernzta

I've thrown a bit more info at bernie, but I know there's still a fair bit mroe meat to chew for it. Anyway, I've added a few refs that can be drawn on for it also. Do you want to give it a look into and see what can be scoured from those refs. I'll see if there's anything else that comes to mind for me, but I think for now, I'm done for the night after three computer crashes. I'll probably just chill and watch some comedy. --rm 'w avu 09:49, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Mate, that is looking pretty damn good. Time for me to jump in and try and add some more KBs - we're getting there. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 07:31, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

RFA Card

My RFA →→→

Dear Dihydrogen Monoxide, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind vote on my request for adminship which succeeded with a final result of (29/5/5).

I cannot thank you enough for you're support on my RFA. And now that I am a sysop, I will work hard to improve the encyclopedia with my new editing tools. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any queries you have. I would be glad to help you along with the other group of kind and helpful administrators.

Thank you again and I look forward to editing alongside you in the future. — Chetblong 20:47, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Nousernamesleft!

Hi, Dihydrogen Monoxide, thanks for voting in my RfA, which passed with 47 supports (I hoped for a perfect square, but two away is close enough!), 3 opposes (the first odd prime), and 0 neutrals. I'm glad the community has decided to trust me with the mop and bucket (the flamethrower isn't supported). Of course, special thanks goes to my nominators Auawise and that one guy who buried stuff (not that the thanks I give to the you isn't special!). If you ever need a hand with something, or just want to say hello, tough feel free to drop a line! Best wishes, Nousernamesleft 23:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

This doesn't even vaguely resemble a mop, but I couldn't find a picture of one.

On "Get Me Bodied"

I left some questions there. Almost done. Thanks for the review. --Efe (talk) 08:23, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Kindly recheck the article. I think its done. Thanks for the review. --Efe (talk) 08:43, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Sure. Maybe I can drop the comments by tomorrow. Or by Wednesday. I got a report for our tomorrow's class. But I'll try. =) --Efe (talk) 09:00, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

No worries, a bit of a sidetrack from my usual interests too :) Melburnian (talk) 08:28, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I can has thankspam?

Quick, let's delete the front page!

No seriously, thanks for contributing at my RfA which ended 68/0/0. I'm amazed and humbled by the result, and the warm and supportive comments that went with it. I've put the pic of Tiger here because although I know not everyone appreciates lolcats, to me it illustrates the possibility of taking things seriously with a light heart. I will try to do so, and remain open to the being slapped down if I do start being impossibly pompous.

Thanks Pedro :  Chat  for your generous nomination, and also to Master of Puppets for ripping off his thankspam without so much as a by-your-leave. To all who contributed - especially the eventually withdrawn (but very interesting) neutral and oppose - thank you! Now it's off to new admin school for me, before I dare do anything for real...

Kim Dent-Brown 09:23, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

PS: If I'd have gone canvassing for nominators, you would definitely have been someone I approached. So don't be too cross with Pedro for stealing the gig! All the best, Kim Dent-Brown 09:23, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Reviewing

Reviewing isn't as easy as it looks! Also, thanks for fixing the fair use rationale for me. Given that GTC has about 30 days of existence left, I wasn't too fussed about it, but it is good that it will stay. Cheers, Mattinbgn\ 11:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Hey, I totally forgot to get around to this and apologize for it. At any rate, I wanted to thank you for being willing to nominate me for adminship and also thank you for the flattering nomination statement you wrote for me. I am not the type to sent out thank you notes to every supporters, but I do want you to know I really appreciate the nom. It is a little of a shame that I have the tools whereas someone as committed to the project as you doesn't. I don't mean to be heavy, though, so I will merely leave it at thanks and happy editing, SorryGuy  Talk  02:48, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Noel Gallagher

I tried to fix all I could. Also, the images which aren't on Commons, I'm unsure if I create an account to upload (I have bad memories of "copyright neurotics" here on Wiki). Anyway, see if your requests are fulfilled, ask new ones, etc. Thanks. igordebraga 04:44, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I'll do the images if you like, will take a look at the rest. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 08:03, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey DHMO, Wisdom89 here. I of course took the helm in revamping/improving the Neil Peart article to be worthy of GA status. I've been making the attempt to address your concerns on the talk page. It's not quite done yet, but could you take a peak and let me know of the progress? Wisdom89 (T / ) 19:42, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

OhanaUnited's RFA

.: Thank you! :.

Thank you for participating in my 2nd RfA and supporting me! My RfA passed unanimously at 79 support, 0 oppose, 0 neutral. I would like to take this opportunity to thank AndonicO and Rudget for nominating me. I also want to thank LaraLove for persuading me to keep going after I failed my first RfA.

To be really honest, I am surprised that my RfA passed without any oppose or neutral. Being an administrator means more responsibilities, especially when I'm now an administrator on both English Misplaced Pages as well as WikiSpecies. I promise everyone that I will use the tools effectively to serve the community. If you need help on anything, don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Last but not least, remember the motto for Ohana: "When it comes to family, nobody gets left behind."

Once again, thanks for placing your trust in me to help the community. OhanaUnited 18:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
