Hi Banes, why thank you, I would love to be an administrator but no one nominated me yet. I have noticed four other wikipedians who also deserve to be administrators and would gladly support them if asked (], ], ] and ]). I have also noticed that you part of ]. I think it is a good cause. --] 17:32, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

: If you want to be the first South African administrator then I will gladly support you. :-) I came across stress levels some time back but because I have been busy with other things during the last month I did not notice Esperanza. I only noticed it today from your talk page and would like to sign up but will wait until after the voting.--] 18:25, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
: Yes I see your point but when I joined there wasn't much from a South African point of view so I concentrated mainly on Africa (especially South Africa) anyway you could have a look at the users I mentioned above although one of them is not South African. --] 18:47, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi, yes you can go ahead and nominate me between 18:00 and 20:30. Is time very important?--] 19:25, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
:Sorry Banes, the Telkom exchange went down just after 7pm. After been on the phone to them until way after 10pm they only sent someone out this morning to see what the problem was. It only went up at 1pm today. Anyway thank you for the nomination, I hope by accepting abit late does not effect my chances.
: Okay, I have answered all the questions, not easy when you have to sell yourself with three questions. When does it move onto the main voting area?
--] 16:36, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
: Yes I won't forget about my ardent supporters, lol - you starting to sound like a campaign manger. Keep up the good work. --] 18:23, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

===WPfD and Such===
Ah yes, I remember that now. What a mess. It was sad to see what happened to ] there, but in the end, i'm glad everything turned out ok there, that had the potential to get even uglier with time. Ultimately, the best thing I thought I could do there was update the vote count, so that's what I tried to focus on -- believe it or not, despite how it may seem, I have a bad temper; a trait that I loathe in myself and try desperately to change on a continuing basis.<br>
I almost lost it again with this Fadix thing, but I figured the best thing to do was to leave a diplomatic sounding message on his ] since i'm getting the adminship anyway and not make it any worse. Me and Coolcat got a laugh out of what transpired on IRC this morning.<br>
Now if I can just get the Tony Sidaway thing under control, i'll be all set. ] 21:37, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

I noticed you were asking about Elf-friend's non-appearance at Jcw69's admin nomination vote. Unfortunately, Elf-friend hasn't edited since March, when he suddenly disappeared without notice. I didn't know him outside Misplaced Pages, and he never enabled the "email this user option", so I haven't been able to contact him to find out what happened. I just hope it was nothing bad, and that he's just on a Wiki-holiday and will return sometime, as he was a pretty prolific editor. Anyway, just thought I'd give you the heads up on the reason for his silence. ] 01:12, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

: Impi is correct about the reason for my long silence ... I was a bit "gatvol" about a number of issues on Misplaced Pages (mostly systemic bias and granularity) and decided to take a long (7 months!) Wikiholiday. Outside of Misplaced Pages my life is just fine :-). I'm sorry to see you are stressed at the moment and hope things will improve soon. ] 12:22, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

:: Thanks for your kind words and your offer. Fortuitously, my first login after my Wikiholiday was on the last day of voting for Jcw's adminship, so at least I was able to add my vote to his well-deserved election. Yes, I would be interested in becoming an admin in the future, it would certainly help in fighting vandals ("manual" reverting is a bit tiresome). But mark my words, my long absence from Misplaced Pages will be held against me by some of the voters. ] 14:17, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

== RE: Admin ==

First, let me say that it's unfortunate to hear you've got a lot of stress in your life...believe me, I know how that can be... You'll notice I haven't been around much lately, mostly for the same reason (although there's a matter of a new woman in my life too, which has been taking up a little bit of my time ]) ...
As far as the question about whether or not I've been nominated for Admin, the answer is "no", although a few people have offered to do so. I'm not sure how useful I'm going to be as an admin between now and December , but I'm not opposed to being nominated...God knows the extra buttons would be nice sometimes!

Anyways, I hope you get your situation sorted out, and hopefully you'll be all better and back before you realize you were gone. If you need to talk to someone, email me and I'll let you know how to get in touch. ] <sup><font size=-1 color=129DBC>]</font></sup> 21:07, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

As for the one who wrote a large paragraph on me, I don't know them and why they voted against me, since they only have been here 2 weeks (and a month after my disputes with two editors on "India-related" articles were settled). I can only assume that they might be a sockpuppet, but I am not going to speculate. I still like to thank you replying to my message.

Hi Banes. Thanks for your note! Yes, I am quite stressed, but it is due to volume of real-life work rather than any Misplaced Pages issue. I am looking forward to my stress going down, but it may only happen at the end of term. :-)
The months I spent in South Africa were back when I was a student -- I was mostly in Cape Town and Stellenbosch, but I did also get the chance to spend some time in and around Kruger National Park and in Swaziland. I had a fantastic time in the months I spent there and plan to go back as soon as possible (only issues of cash flow keep me away!). --]<sup> ]</sup> 21:20, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, the court has been laid, ready for the game. I imported white sand all the way from the forest. The raw sand was then refined in a special filter, and fed through a sand distributor to make the lines! Cool eh? Only the whitest, purest sand is used to make our courts. I doubt very much that you'll win, as I have expanded your court to full size again. Just kidding. I had noticed your observation, i'm very excited, but better to wait until everyone is saying it before we crack open the champagne. What did you study today, maths or German?

== Rollback ==

Hi Banes, When I view the diff between two edits, there is a rollback link which when clicked will revert to the previous edit not authored by the last editor and puts in the summuary for example "Reverted edits by 202.156.6.59 to last version by Srini81".
