| Hello there! I was just wondering if you could delete ] image for me, please. As far as I know, the Wikiglobe isn't licensed under GDFL, so you can't use it in other images; and since this one was uploaded to Commons, I came to you seeking help (as you're a Commons admin). Thanks again, ] ] 23:35, 21 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| My comments here will be short and to the point: I'm no longer taking part here. I have received an astounding amount of support, especially by email, but it's time to go. I tried to walk away in August, and managed to do so for quite a while, but I eventually came back, because of the many requests I received urging me to return. Many of you have written to ask me to not leave, to not give up what I have here, but I'm afraid it's time to make a clean break. | |||
| :Hm, no can't delete outright; the tag should be changed to Copyright to Wikimedia, though, as all images that use our copyrighted logos have to be copyrighted to us (law, not policy). The Foundation hasn't gotten around to creating a policy on who can and who can't use our logos on our projects, so there is no way to say "this isn't allowed" or "this is allowed." You can, however, list it for deletion, and mention that it's an unsanctioned derivative. <span style="font-family: Verdana">] <font color="#7b68ee">(<small>] • ]</small>)</font></span> 00:30, 23 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| I ask that the first steward to see this message please remove my various flags from this wiki, as well as from Meta, Commons, and Wikiquote, and remove the bot flags from my bots, which of course will no longer be running. My tools will be taken down shortly. I had planned to delete my user-space myself, but I don't want anyone to think I was going on a rampage, so instead, I ask that one or more administrators who are friends please delete the 288 pages that form my userspace (leaving only my userpage and this talk page). | |||
| == A little question about your userpage == | |||
| I've enjoyed my time here, and done much good work; my time, however, is over, and leaving is the best thing for me and for Misplaced Pages. I walk away happy to be free to go about other things. I hope others will refocus the energy they have spent the past few days in defending and denouncing me to make something here at Misplaced Pages better. | |||
| Hi, I see you are one of the most experienced users of wikipedia. I've noticed the icons you've put to you're userpage (actually, I have done something like that in my own) and ask you something: Would you please tell me how to make an image to link to an article? | |||

| Hi, Essjay, | |||
| :''Talk page history: , '' | |||
| I was wondering if you could delete ]. I want to reupload it. For some reason, it doesn't show up that it's on the server here. I mean, I can go to the page, and view that I did in fact upload an audio file title ''Pride and Prejudice, chapter 44.ogg'', but I cannot access it (I'm uploading these to use on Wikisource) or stream it. I can't figure out what the problem is, but I can upload other audio files. I think if what Commons currently has gets deleted, I can upload it again and have it work.

| Now i don't mean to be envious or anything.. but what 'things' as such can norm's like me do; such as Esperanza and RC Patrol, but is there anything else..? Also, What's the deal with the Mediation Committee, do u have to be a sysop or anything to be in it? | |||

| I swear...Am I the only one getting the "new messages" bar when someone posts here? Is there a committee somewhere that has all posts to my talk page outputting to an IRC channel? <tt>:p</tt> | |||

| You can do a lot of things; anything that doesn't specifically require having restricted permissions (like blocking or deleting) can be done by any user. They're always looking for people to do cleanup and reference checking, as well as things like copyright problems. | |||
| As for the Mediation Committee, you don't have to be an admin, but the committee members tend to look for people who have a lot of demonstrated experience in dispute resolution, and have a great deal of community trust. Reading through the nomination archives is a good way to get a feel for what they look for. <span style="font-family: Verdana">] <font color="#7b68ee">(<small>] • ]</small>)</font></span> 04:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC) | |||

This user is no longer active on Misplaced Pages.
My comments here will be short and to the point: I'm no longer taking part here. I have received an astounding amount of support, especially by email, but it's time to go. I tried to walk away in August, and managed to do so for quite a while, but I eventually came back, because of the many requests I received urging me to return. Many of you have written to ask me to not leave, to not give up what I have here, but I'm afraid it's time to make a clean break.
I ask that the first steward to see this message please remove my various flags from this wiki, as well as from Meta, Commons, and Wikiquote, and remove the bot flags from my bots, which of course will no longer be running. My tools will be taken down shortly. I had planned to delete my user-space myself, but I don't want anyone to think I was going on a rampage, so instead, I ask that one or more administrators who are friends please delete the 288 pages that form my userspace (leaving only my userpage and this talk page).
I've enjoyed my time here, and done much good work; my time, however, is over, and leaving is the best thing for me and for Misplaced Pages. I walk away happy to be free to go about other things. I hope others will refocus the energy they have spent the past few days in defending and denouncing me to make something here at Misplaced Pages better.
