Disco Ball?

You mean this one?

Or perhaps this one?

--TBCTaLk?!? 19:18, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

First coming onto your userpage was so funny. The tiger looking at the ball... LOL-- ExpImp 00:21, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I went looking for it not long after I spotted it (yeah, I was lazy and didn't feel like navigating through Wiki commons for it). I thought TBC had it or might know where it was. TBC hooked me up, so there you go. I figured I need a little bit of humor on my page. Otherwise, you go crazy. I'm not a machine man! I'm thinking of starting a "Wiki" humor section - the kind of stuff that really happened here, nothing made up. Later! JungleCat talk/contrib 00:32, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't often comment on people's userpages, but the tiger staring at the ball made me burst out laughing. And the caption... hahahaha. — riana_dzasta _{wreak havoc|damage report} 02:52, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! If I have made one person's day better with this, I feel I have helped out by lighten the mood here. We need some good stuff to laugh at. I will look for more. Cheers! JungleCat talk/contrib 03:08, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Down under RfA

Before Mcginnly made his oppose, he explained his position when he asked question 6 and commented on the reply, so his oppose was explained. The amount of people on one side of a debate is no reason not to be on the other side. I find it commendable that someone is prepared to state an unpopular view and stand by what he believes. It shows integrity, which is a valuable quality to be encouraged, not ostracised. If a firestorm of comments ensued, and you disapprove of the firestorm, then you should criticise the people who commented, as they are responsible for that. Mcginnly didn't invite anyone to firestorm: he simply stated his own position. RfA, along with other processes such as AfD, is meant to have the quality of debate, which, far from being disruptive, is essential. There is nothing to indicate that Mcginnly was acting to make a POINT, so one should AGF. I stated that I saw your comments as being made in good faith, but nevertheless they were mistaken and an uncalled for slur, which did not themselves AGF. We have to be tolerant of others to create a collaborative working environment. I hope that puts things into perspective. I might point out I was a co-nom for Sarah! Tyrenius 16:08, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Er, people are meant to actually read through the nom. :) If other people are getting uptight, all the more reason not to! I think reasoned argument is better than emotional pressure. The lone voice may have something useful to add. Worth thinking about... Tyrenius 16:39, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant the optional questions, not the nom per se. Yes, it is going well. :) Tyrenius 17:08, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad about that. It shows the value of WP:AGF and a little caution to start with. My first reaction was to check the contributions, and I realised he was a serious editor, who at least deserved to be heard. There's a useful tool here. Tyrenius 17:51, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Re. your question on responding to RfAs etc, I would say, yes, go ahead and make your case, which is a good one, as it is designed to help people and to maintain standards of CIVILITY. Tyrenius 02:01, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

My RFA

Thank you, Junglecat, for voting on my RFA, which passed 95 to 1. Now that I have the mop, I hope I can live up to the standard, and be a good administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. —this is messedrocker (talk) 18:49, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Konstable's RfA thanks

Hi!

Sorry I'm so late in replying to your message on my talk page. Tyrenius also replied but I'd like to make a personal response, too! I saw your conversation with Tyrenius on his talk page and am glad the two of you sorted it out, but don't call yourself ignorant!! Of course you're not. You're a great editor. :) I dislike those one-line opposes, too. They should be lengthy so that the candidate knows what s/he needs to improve upon, in my opinion. I'm glad Tyrenius looked at the opposer's contribs; I might not have done that. Of course, if I was an admin or b-crat looking at it, I certainly would have investigated the user, but I'm in no position to indent votes.

Anyways, I hope you're having a fantastic day! :) Srose (talk) 18:53, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. As a small editor I don't have the best skills or knowledge of Wiki that I should. I will do my best to improve. I don't know if lets say a year from now I would think of being an Admin. That sounds like a demanding/tough job. About the short opposes, as you saw I found out why the user was opposed, but he could have used a little more tact. Give my best to Yanksox! (I must go and see if I can photograph an old sawmill near Mauriceville, Texas). JungleCat talk/contrib 19:03, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Belated thanks

Thank you for participating in my RfA. Consensus to promote was reached, and I am now an administrator. I'll be using the tools cautiously at first, and everyone should feel welcome to peer over my shoulder and make sure I'm not doing anything foolish. --Robth 04:14, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

Regarding my RfA

Hehe, thanks for giving me that question. At least, I now have a heads-up on what I would potentially face as admin (regarding images and such).

Thanks, and happy editing!

--Nishkid64 22:49, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

No prob's! It looks like you are going to do very well. Keep up the good work. JungleCat talk/contrib 22:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou Junglecat :)

Hey Junglecat. You beat me to it. I've been working my way around to everyone but I keep getting distracted by interesting userpages! So I'm afraid I'm rather slow.
Thankyou for your message, I appreciate it and I'm pleased to hear from you.
Thank you for supporting my RfA. And thank you for defending me. I did notice your posts on User talk:Srose and User talk:Tyrenius and I was very, very grateful for the kind, supportive and generous words you wrote about me. I'm sorry you were so upset and that you got a rap over knuckles for your comments, but I found it very encouraging, when people started opposing, that someone felt that strongly about my candidacy. Thankyou for being so supportive and encouraging of someone you had never even spoken to before. I want you to know that I really appreciate your support. Please don't hesitate to give me a yell if I can be of assistance. Best wishes, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 16:59, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Lefty's RfA thanks

A request for help...

Hey Junglecat, I noticed that you are listed in the cats as an American engineer and I was wondering if I could ask you for some advice? It is an admin related issue. I tried to email you, but you don't seem to have email activated. Do you think you could activate it here: . The email will be sent via Misplaced Pages and I won't be able to see your email addy, IP or anything like that unless you decide to reply. Cheers mate, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 16:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Great to hear from you, Junglecat and thankyou very much for that! Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 18:30, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks JC. I sent it just a minute ago, so you should get it soon. I really value your insight and will be very grateful for any thoughts and opinions you might have. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 19:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou very much JungleCat. I really appreciate your input. I've moved your reply to preserve your sanity because the author has posted on my talk page numerous times and I'm worried if she sees your comment you may be subjected to the same kind of messages I've been getting. Thanks again for your help, JC. Much appreciated. :) Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 19:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Nishkid64's Rfa thanks

Re: RfA Input...

Damn, I alway forget to sign my username, thanks for reminding. -- Lego@lost _{Rocks Collide!} | 23:26, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

RE: My approval for VandalProof

Ack, this doesn't look good. The software ignores edits made to the list by non-moderators, and I'm concerned that we may have fried this a little. Could you tell me exactly what you've done so far, and then we can work out the best way forward? Thanks. —Xyrael / 15:56, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay, so you haven't edited any VandalProof pages on Misplaced Pages? —Xyrael / 17:27, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

If you haven't edited any pages with big lists of users on, we're okay :) For those files, I suggest you try running the new version because if you were able to run one of the older ones with no issues (aside from the version update message, which wouldn't appear without those files), you probably have them all. So, good luck! Please feel free to let me know if there are any problems, and sorry for being a little snappy with you earlier. Thanks. —Xyrael / 07:33, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

1957 Chevy Bel Air Body

It seems newsworthy that a new 1957 Chevy Bel Air convertible body is now available. Even if you do not include and names or links, it still seems like something that people who are interested in the 1957 Chevy would be interested in. Don't you think so?

Dates

Hey Junglecat. I looked at a few feature articles and it seems that either format is okay. St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery is one example of a FA which doesn't link the accessed dates. Also, Citing sources doesn't say they have to be linked. So it looks to me like either is acceptable, but if you want a more definitive answer, you could try asking on Misplaced Pages talk:Featured articles or one of the other FA talk pages. Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 05:34, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thank you for the revert on my userpage. Apparently, Jermaine911 did not like the note about nonsense articles I left on his talkpage the other day. He's a vandal, and will be blocked sooner or later. ---Charles 01:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

No probs! Give me time and more experience. Should have cleaned up faster! JungleCat talk/contrib 01:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

No worries, sir. I haven't any complaints! ---Charles 02:44, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Why was I reverted?

Why was my edit to Sexual arousal reverted? All I did was remove "mln;lghkjkjl;klu,k'" which seems to be to be nonsense. Did I not follow the right rules? Link to edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Sexual_arousal&diff=79182513&oldid=79182460 Thanks.

Sorry, I should sign: 67.171.75.116 04:02, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Wow! Anon user! You are very good. I like your edit history, per my my post of course! (time stamp noted) Keep fighting the vandals! Cheers! JungleCat talk/contrib 04:13, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

RfA thoughts

Hey JC! I'll have a look at it maybe sometime tomorrow, doing a bit of RC patrol now and then going to bed in about half an hour (it's late here!) Thanks for sending me the link. Cheersy, — riana_dzasta _{wreak havoc-damage report} 17:11, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey JungleCat, had a look at your RfA thoughts. Interesting how closely they mirror mine :) One thing I might disagree with very slightly, is the getting even section. Sometimes it might be good to let other people in the community know about disagreements a !voter has had with a candidate, especially if it is particularly nasty. If these issues are isolated, this could be a good thing; on the other hand, if the candidate has disagreed with a small group of users consistently, I generally see this as a sign of pettiness.

Also with the oppose pile-on section, I completely agree that pile-on should be avoided after, say, 10 opposes without supports. However, I recently !voted neutral in an RfA that was clearly going to fail, cited pile-on avoidance as the reason, and suggested withdrawal. However, Joe made a neutral vote a little after my own, which has some links which made me think about my policy of voting neutral when the RfA is clearly WP:SNOWballing towards failure. You may want to take a look at it. I will still vote neutral to avoid discouraging a potentially great user, but the links made me think about 'moral support' votes.

Still, it was an interesting read. Have you had a look at the RfA talk page? Lots of discussion going on about overhauling the RfA process, you may want to take part in it (things haven't gotten angry... yet :p) — riana_dzasta _{wreak havoc-damage report} 11:52, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hey There DP!

Hehe, sorry about that! It happens. In any case, keep up the good work! →DancingPenguin 23:24, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Good articles

There is no bar on making improvements and edits to the article during the GA review process- in fact this is probably advisable if you think you can fix something before the reviewer looks at it. Good luck, Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 13:43, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Strange Close & Re-List

The Afd that you voted on at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/James W. Walter has been closed and relisted by an Admin at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/James W.

My RfA

I just wanted to thank you for your support in my recent request for adminship, which passed unanimously with a final tally of 38/0/0. I appreciate your trust, and will do my best to uphold it. I also appreciate your comments about my experience in vandal fighting and intervention, and will try to find a good balance betwen that and everything else that I do on Misplaced Pages. Don't hesitate to let me know if you ever need anything. — TKD::Talk 06:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Bio

Hey JC, no worries about the bio listing. It's a fantastic article. You did an awesome job on it and really deserve the GA rating. I'm looking forward to seeing your next one! Best wishes JC, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 03:01, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

A belated note - Gary Kirk's RfA

Dear Junglecat Thank you very much for voting in my request for adminship. In the end, not many people let their opinion be known, and I didn't get the mop just yet. I have already begun acting on the issues brought up by the community, and will continue to do so. If you have any more suggestions for me, feel free to let me know.
Once again, thank you.
— Gary Kirk // talk! 09:07, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you...

...for your support during my recent RfA. While I cannot preserve a HoR majority for your party and I certainly cannot mess with Texas, I do have some nifty new buttons for editing Misplaced Pages. If I can ever be of any help with my new tools or if you just want a pair of fresh eyes to take a look at an article, do not hesitate to give me a holler. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 19:17, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Note, my message is not supposed to be part of this here box, it just ended up this way. This keeps happening as a try to thank people right after another user tahnks them with a fancy template.

re: Long time...

Hi. I'm surprised we haven't run into each other more, seeing as we've both been active. It's a bigger wiki than I sometimes realize. I had to jog my memory as to where we'd interacted before - that deletion discussion does seem long ago. Congratuations on the GA - I've never done one of those, but then I spend all my time on Wiki-gnome tasks like page moves and trying to put out the occasional flame war. One of these days, I keep telling myself...

Thanks for the note; it's good to hear you're having fun with the project. I'll see you around. =) -GTBacchus 08:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
