== Negatives ==

Yes, thank you for your note. I had originally some incomprehensible statement filled with double negatives, which I pruned down when even I couldn't understand it, barely minutes after I wrote it. Seems I pruned just a little too much or too little. ] (]) 15:56, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

== Re: Rename ==

Hi. If it works, no problem. The reason why I did it is that we used to ask for logged-in confirmation, until we created the template. After the template's inception, we started declining requests that failed to follow the basic instructions. Declining and asking people to repost when the basic instructions are not followed also served the purpose of preventing people from trying to fix the links in the template (people used to get the filling out of the template wrong all the time...), which would normally only make it worse. In order to optimize the time the Bcrats would spend in renames, we were making it clear that if a user didn't take the time to read simple instructions, the requests would be denied, which would cause people to read the instructions, thus preventing silly mistakes that caused us to take more and more time to handle simple requests.<br>Most of this, however, was before clerks started helping out with renames. With the help of the clerks, there's less of a need for us to be too concerned with wasting time fixing silly mistakes. But I guess I was on "automatic". Thanks for the help. :)<br>As a matter of fact, you don't even need to wait until the repost is accepted (if it hasn't been already by now, I haven't checked), you can go ahead and merge now, if you want to. Cheers, ] (]) 22:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

::Indeed, you said "I've ''merged''", and I somehow read "I'll merge". I probably need some coffee... All is well then, thanks again. ] (]) 01:40, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

== Re: your deleted comment ==

It's difficult to find another way to express this, since the temperature seems to be rising on this discussion. Yes, I do understand. Quite well. And I have been endeavoring to explain to you that the vote stacking issue was by no means a byproduct of the investigation or an afterthought to it. It was in fact one of the principal grounds for suspicion and principal avenues of inquiry, examined at great length and in exacting detail. <font face="Verdana">]</font><sup>'']''</sup> 07:18, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Template:Indefblockedbecause

Why does this put user pages in cat Temp user pages? Rich Farmbrough, 03:22 10 February 2008 (GMT).

I am concerned with the number of user-pages in this category, which means that they will be deleted. In particular, because of another warning template User talk:Thegone was deleted taking useful warnings with it. Rich Farmbrough, 13:40 10 February 2008 (GMT).

Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive126#deletion reason script

I just noticed that Misplaced Pages:Criteria for speedy deletion#Redirects reason #2 is not part of the drop down list. Any chance it could be added? Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 02:46, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Regarding: Biting the newbies

The user's previous name, User:Poo headed monster and his continual recreation of material without using the hangon template after instructed to lead me to believe he was not making edits in good faith. If I was wrong, I apologize to him but I have a feeling that's not the case. Redfarmer (talk) 17:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

I have never used the FAQ template before, and didn't realise that saving the edits within it would create a subpage (next time I will know better :) Thanks for the delete, I apreciate it. TomStar81 (Talk) 19:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: deletion

No problem. The page in question (User:Gyrofrog/2006-07-19) was a copy of an unsolicited canvassing email that I received, and I guess I had kept it as evidence. I had forgotten about it. Thanks, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:12, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
