Attention!- We need more happiness around here. If you can make someone laugh, even a little, you've improved the Misplaced Pages community. Don't just be civil, be forward. Congratulate people when they do a good job, no matter what it is. Too many people have left Misplaced Pages—let's not let the rest go, too.In the event you're here with a personal attack:

Template:Welcome
Hi. Just wanted to let you know that the edit you have just made to Template:Welcome is something that has been discussed (several times) in the past, and current consensus says it shouldn't be done (though I personally tend to disagree with this consensus). You really should take the matter to the talk page instead. -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 08:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Tarot vs Tarot Reading
I am the one who initially changed the article from "tarot" to "tarot reading" as I felt that the older usage promoted a biased view concerning tarot cards. For a number of people, though a minority, Tarot is primarily a card game and an article focusing on the divination aspects of tarot cards should properly be called "tarot reading" to bring it up to date so it reflects a greater understanding concerning actual tarot history and practices and present a more neutral point of view. See my comments in the Tarot discussion pages on why I am proposing the name change. In fact the Wiktionary, is even defining Tarot as primarily a game and its "fortune telling" aspects are given in the second definition.Smiloid
I find your lack of faith... disturbing.
Dear Kyorosuke,
- Thanks for voting on my RFA! I appreciate your comments and constructive criticism, for every bit helps me become a better Wikipedian. I've started working on the things you brought up, and I hope that next time, things run better; who knows, maybe one day we'll be basking on the shore of Admintopia together. Thanks and cheers, _-M o P-_ 22:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Personal attacks
I want your help to protect my self from personal attacks. This is the third or so time that this user has made false allegations on me. The first and second time I had no clue about wikipedia rules and regulations so I didn't take any action. I am not going to mention the name of the person here as I believe nobody is guilty unless proven. Please check this diff here and if you believe what I am saying is correct give a piece of advice to the person. Thanks «₪Mÿš†íc₪» 19:14, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I was mearly creating an article on something that is really going-on. That is what this site claims to be about, isn't it? It is really just a liberal crusade though, so i suppose you are just defending one of the top contributers to liberalisms.

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Kamen Rider Stronger, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |

About ClassicSciFi
Hello Sean. Did you indef ban that ClassicSciFi.com guy? I sort of feel that might be a tad harsh. The guy's site *is* pretty unique in its TV listings for upcoming SciFi showings. It's actually somewhat difficult to find listings like that and it probably takes him hours/week to get that list together. I certainly don't think he should be linked on nearly as many pages as he was going for, but on pages like King Kong and Godzilla there will certainly be a part of the readership that would like to know the next time they can catch these classics on the tube... Was there even an attempt at mediation here? JDG 05:02, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Umm, sorry to persist here, but I'm an editor generally (usually) uninterested in Administrative goings-on and commensurately ignorant of Admin how-to stuff (such as how to check the block log for blocks of a user who apparently never created a user page). Did you ban him? JDG 21:57, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok this is starting to bother me. Why no answer? Administrators are responsible for the way they wield their powers. Do I need to contact another Admin to get you to address the question? JDG 17:20, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for responding on my Talk page. So, you did indef ban him. Now, do you disagree that sometimes Sci-Fi aficionados might find a web page showing channels/dates/times of airings of Sci-Fi movies/programs, far into the future, to be of real interest and that such a listing is not common? (btw, I don't know the banned user, have never communicated with him on Talk pages or in any other way, and have never been engaged even in a debate about the qualifications of an external link).

Please undelete trascker. It is used to track civility warnings, and we are currently trying to make it redundant - but I'd appreciate if it could be undeleted (or sent to TfD) when I depreciate it. Computerjoe's talk 07:11, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
User talk:Hermione1980
Hello Sean. I just noticed Hermione's unfortunate—and to me inexplicable—departure. She deleted her talk page before she left, and you redeleted it when someone posted an inopportune welcome note to her. While User pages are routinely deleted on the wishes of a departing editor, user talk pages are generally preserved, because they usually contain contributions from many other users and may be important as a record. Was there a good reason in this instance to delete the talk page? Very kind regards —Encephalon 16:21, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, Sean. I'll restore it and blank the contents, which I suppose should be the least disagreeable option to all concerned. —Encephalon 20:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi there,
Can you tell me why the Pro-EU template was deleted?
Thanks.
Smiley Template
After some thought I decided to create this smiley template, as I thought most of the arguments in the talk pages are due to misinterpretaion of what is being said, hopefully these smileys will help us (at least me 
!!) communicate in a much more friendly manner. Hope you all will like it.
- {{smiley|1}} will produce (Friendly smile)
- {{smiley|2}} will produce
(Confident) - {{smiley|3}} will produce
(Mocking) - {{smiley|4}} will produce
(Hysterical) - {{smiley|5}} will produce
(Hurt) - {{smiley|6}} will produce
(Very Sorry) - {{smiley|7}} will produce
(Sleepy) - {{smiley|8}} will produce
(You are Nive) - {{smiley|9}} will produce
(I am not happy) - {{smiley|0}} will produce (No Comments)

User:Jsmith's block
I noticed that you indefinitely blocked User:Jsmith for vandalism, old page-move vandalisms, and blanking of talk page warnings. I could be wrong, as I am a new admin, but this edit doesn't look much like vandalism, more like a large content dispute over the usage of a template. The old page moves were 3 months old. While I agree that the blankings of his talk page were wrong, I think he was underneath the wrong impression that he could archive his talk page at any point, and don't think that it is worth an indefinite block.

Proverb?
I don't get the proverb at the top of the page. Does it mean that I will get pleasure from delivering a personal attack against you? If so, then your mother wears army boots... and I never forget a face, but in your case I'll remember both of them!!
Actually, this is just a friendly note to say thanks for recreating the JDWTC links to GNAA. I agree with you that they are useful redirects, and I suspect that some overly sensitive people knew nothing about the meaning of "JDWTC". And yes, this is a serious thank you, and no I am not an internet troll :-) (Actually I am technically Jewish) - Abscissa 08:48, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
- Could you also change the redirect on "jews did wtc" -- it needs to be clear that GNAA produces JDWTC and it's not some theory about how Jews flew planes into the WTC that is being censored. Thanks, - Abscissa 10:25, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
'Vandalism'
I noticed you wasted no time reprimanding me, yet you said nothing on the vandal's talk page.--CyberGhostface 23:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
User:Emmaroberts
You should probably drop a note on her page explaining the situation...on the off chance it's really her, when she comes back and finds she's blocked, she's going to be mighty confused. --InShaneee 18:59, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Template User Preference?
Hey Sean. I don't mean to put you on the spot, but may I question you as to your changes to User Preference?
Before your edit, it was made out to be humourous in nature and without any impact on the society. However, post-edit, it appears to be accusing users of the userbox of not being actual members of the community.
Now, I don't want to start a fight with an administrator, but finding an accusatory userbox on your own userpage, that used to be funny, and then finding out that this accusation was created by an administrator, when almost every other userbox that even remotely seems to express opinions similar to that of the new userbox has been under the burden of a T1 speedy deletion...
When I saw it, I immediately felt like a criminal. It's very strange. I'm very nervous in asking this, but may I question you as to why you changed it?
Sincerely, Logical2u 23:33, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
My RfA
Hi Sean! Thank you for your support on my recent RfA. It succeeded with a final tally of 72/2/0 and I am now an administrator. I'll be taking things slowly at first and getting used to the new tools, but please let me know if there's any adminnery I can help you with in the future. —Whouk (talk) 02:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)Template:Msp

Deletion
I wish you'd reconsider your speedying of User:Travb/Tactics of some admins regarding copyright. It is clearly not an attack page in the sense meant by the speedy consideration -- it is a call for policy change/reform, however right or wrong. Deleting it while its vote for deletion was ongoing and pretty mixed in terms of results prevents others from adequately judging it as well. I don't think it did enough harm or insult to justify a speedy, and I think squelching people who complain is not a productive tactic. I say this as the creator of the project which he thinks is the "cabal" in question that he is up against. I don't agree with him, but I respect his ability to voice a disagreement. I would undelete it myself, but I don't want to wheel war. So I'm just asking you to reconsider for now, assuming the best faith. --Fastfission 20:38, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
RfA Thank You!
Hi,
Thank you for participating in my recent RfA. I apologize for the questioning others undertook of your comments; I accept all the concerns suggested by your selected diff as valid, and will work to improve. I can only hope, by using the tools wisely, to gain your confidence over time. As an administrator, I am your servant. Although you, more experienced, are unlikely to need my aid, I am available whenever you wish. Please do not hesitate to offer advice, or to whack me with wiki wiffle-bat if I make a mistake, as I am sure to do often. Best wishes, Xoloz 03:44, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Infoboxes
The onlyreason, I think, that you might feel I've left more of these than others, is probably that I monitor Template:Did you know for basic stuff (making sure they are correctly categorized and have a basic proper formatting). It's likely that at that time I didn't have the time to add the infobox myself. However, I don't think it would be relevant to ask me to specifically stop putting these on your pages. Circeus 04:02, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- I do realize that an infobox is by no mean required to make an article complete. I just think that if an obvious and fairly widespread one exist, and the article's lenght allow it (I won,t request an infobox that would be longer than the article itself in screenspace), then it should be applied. But that's just my little piece of wikipedia obsession. Circeus 04:19, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
