== Wikiplomacy ==

Hey Editor at Large, regarding your talkpage, as Wikiplomacy is gone, would you be ok with me deleting your user subpage on the topic? I understand all this stuff is moving to another wiki or something, with existing pages being MfD'd - it's simpler to avoid the paperwork involved in that if you're ok with it. Hop you feel better soon! --] 07:02, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

... and I'm crying! I finally got up enough courage to check my messages, and I am so utterly overwhelmed that if this were real life you'd be hearing gasping unable-to-speak noises coming from me. I've been reading since 11:00, and it is now past 4:00 am -- I have to get up at 7:30 for a four-hour rehersal tomorrow, people! How dare you love me so much!

A full box of tissues later, and I am going to bed; but I promise I will start writing you an explanation for my absence tomorrow. I feel that with this outpouring of love and the worry I've caused I owe you that much, at least!

Again, thank you so much for your support. You can't have ''any'' idea how much it means to me and how much better it has made me feel!

Revision as of 04:30, 20 November 2006

Due to recent events in real life and their repercussions, I may do any (probably all) of the following:
  1. Not answer immediately / Get really, really far behind in saying thank-you to people
  2. Be slightly abrupt / Seem out of sorts or sad
  3. Add waaay :-D too many !? smilies ^_^ to messages! :-)
  4. Get easily frustrated or sad over stupidity and meanness / Have an extremely low tolerance for WikiDrama

If any of these occur, please do not worry. I will hopefully be back to my normal self very soon! In the meantime, if I'm acting funny, please let me know. I don't always notice ;-)

Much love to everyone, — Editor at Large 04:11, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

While I was gone | When I came back


I'm very glad you're back

Hi there, I just wanted to say how glad I am that you're back and beginning to participate again in Misplaced Pages. I know that I had left a welcome back greeting before, but it doesn't hurt to say it again. Welcome back! --Kyoko 23:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Great to see you!

Wow E@L, great to see you back :) Hope you're feeling somewhat better, or at least on the road to recovery. It's wonderfull to see you back here again. Thε Halo 23:43, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

it's nice to see your old talk page layout

Hi there, it's nice to see your old talk page layout. You might want to do something about the large (and on my screen, overlapping) images, though. I understand if you want to maintain your current userpage for the time being. Please take care. --Kyoko 00:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Yay!

Yaaaaaaaaay!!! Yay. Seriously, though, GREAT that you're back!—The Great Llama 00:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

WELCOME BACK!

Hey! Didn't even notice this...must have taken this page off my watchlist. Sorry. Anyway, welcome, welcome, welcome back! I am so excited to see you back and hope you're feeling better. I'm not going to ask what's happened, because I want to let you recover, but know that if you need a sounding board, I'm here for you. DoomsDay349 01:04, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Eeek!

Hey, I'm so sorry I haven't had time to reply to your e-mail (a 2 line answer wouldn't have sufficed, obviously). I'll send you one in a couple of hours. Much love, riana_dzasta 01:07, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome back!

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back!

Get well soon. ~~ Gromreaper/(Cont) 01:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah!

I'm speechless. So I'll try to type it. Glad to see your well (kinda) and to see the layouts better. Saw you made my images smaller (they were more impressive before) :). YEAH!!!!. SEE the link. Randfan 01:17, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELCOME.

BACK,

TO.

WIKIPEDIA

!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all missed you so much! Here's hoping the recovery goes well... ~ crazytales(speak to me) 01:46, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Rousseau, and :)

Sure, I'll start working on translating the article on Rousseau tomorrow or or the day after. Though, to be honest, I don't know him at all. I'll have to check the IMDb for the English names of his films. Thanks for helping me find something to translate! I often get the feeling that there's not much left to translate on the English Misplaced Pages. That's why I haven't done much here yet.

Welcome back, by the way. :) My talk page is open if you feel the need to talk. Depression is never easy, but often it helps to talk to someone who knows something about it.

Marialadouce | parlami 02:00, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

You are quite welcome

Hi E@L, I just got your extremely nice thank you message, and you are quite welcome. I appreciate the time you took to make such an attractive template, though you know that I would have done my best to help even without expecting any thanks at all. I hope that you continue to recover. Just so you know, my activity level on Misplaced Pages will probably drop for a while starting tomorrow, due to therapy sessions. Once again, I'm glad that I was able to help you, and I hope you will tell me if ever you are feeling burdened or troubled in the future. Take care, --Kyoko 02:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

That's why I made sure to add a personal message besides the thank you template that I've been using. If I thought things through a bit more, I would have incorporated the message inside the pretty purple box, but that would take more effort than I want to do at this time. --Kyoko 02:13, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
The template is at {{User:Tachikoma/ThanksEA}}. Thanks.--Kyoko 03:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Heya, E@L...

It's a tragedy to even think that something as horrible as sexual harrasment could have taken place (I think....) I may not know you very well, but you will always have a place in my heart bigger than anyone else on Misplaced Pages. I wish you the best of luck and hope that you recover soon. I know this isn't much of a comment compared the ones above and it may sound a little cheesy, but I just wanted you to know that I will always be there to help you, on Misplaced Pages and in your heart, when you need me the most. Hopefully, everyone else feels the same way I do... // Sasuke-kun27 01:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Hoora!

I just can't get over it. You and Kyoko in one day. :) :) :) :):) :):) :):) :):) :):) :):) :)

I want to read all the notes on this page tomorrow, so tell me when your done archiving. Randfan 02:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC) Hooray!

I'm tired so I'm going to bed (I've been up since 3 watching your and Kyoko's status) so don't take it badly if I do't respond until tomorrow. Randfan 02:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, I'll try it tomorrow, I think I'll go to bed early tonight. Thanks for showing me more about modifying templates! --Kyoko 03:54, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome back and reply

You are a Ray of Sunshine!

Hello Editor at Large. I was not aware of your absence... You have all my support in anything that might have troubled you recently. I truly hope that you will completely overcome it. :-)
Thank you for the congratulations. I have attended to your request and blocked indef the user under the grounds of inappropriate username.

Another Welcome

From me, another welcome back, to the Editor at Large. We have missed and worried for you my friend, and it is good relif that you are back. And besides, who would we talk about our pets with at the Coffee Lounge with? Jilly bit Culverin today, but I'm rambling. Welcome Back! Dfrg.msc 07:31, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Wecome back

Welcome back, large editor. Its great to see you back on. I was really concerned for you though this ordeal, but I think that you just have to move on. The messages of support show how much of a great and loved editor you really are. I hope to see you in the future. Good luck. Culverin? 08:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

It's no problem at all

Thank you so much for the beautiful message you left on my talk page (beautiful in both senses of the word). It's never any problem to offer some words of sympathy to a fellow contributor. I am really looking forward to encountering you again while you are at large. BTW I am not a trained counsellor but I do have some experience of advising people (students and staff) caught up in conflicts in educational institutions. If you need any advice of that kind, please feel free to email me. And for niceness and support generally you have an awesome community here around you. Itsmejudith 09:58, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Randfan

Could you please make a template for Randfan, because I think he feels left out! Bearly541 21:30, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Huzzah!

You're back!! We all missed you, and it is great to have you back from..well...yeah. E@L, just letting you know you have been missed (I guess I'm not the first to say all this), and I hope nothing bad ever happens to you again. In fact, I am assigning Superman to be your personal bodyguard.--teh tennisman 21:41, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't mean to be such a party pooper, but fair use is wikipedia:fair use, so I've removed the Superman image. (He can still serve the purpose even if he's not on the page.) Anyways, I'm sorry to hear that your life has been shaken up so much, and I wish you the best, E@L. Picaroon9288 22:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Dang! Oh well...Randfan said to say Hi! --teh tennisman 22:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Yup! I'm busy today and can only sporadically edit but "Hi!!" Hope your feeling better! Best wishes! Randfan 00:18, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:Sylmurbel.jpg

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean when you say "page disputes copyright"? It is clearly fair-use in Sylvia (ballet) and no other pages, so I don't think it's proper that you use it in your "thank you" template; I don't know any way around this. -- Rmrfstar 00:14, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree, give her a break Rmrfstar! Jamo 05:56, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

FA

FA will probably start when Captmondo is able to give enough attention to helping defend it. He's doing somthing in berlin at the moment. I'm basically able to devote full attention to defending it for anytime. When we're both ready, It'll be nominated. Thanatosimii 00:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Am back from my business trip to Berlin (see pics from the Egyptian collection at the Altes Museum here: http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ancient_Egypt#Illustrative_Images_from_the_Altes_Museum.2C_Berlin if you are interested) and am ready to help with the defence of the Ahmose I article as a possible Featured Article. Thanks once again for your editorial skills EaL! Let's do it! Captmondo 00:58, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad I can call you a friend.

Thank you for your awesome message :P I'm glad I have yet another person that I can call a friend. Friends are more meaningful than anything in the world, and I'm sure that you can understand this. Especially in times of need, friends and family are the only two kinds of people you can count on (and my parents are being extremely inane right now – I'm not afraid to say this because as far as they're concerned, Misplaced Pages is a computer game). And echoing your words towards me, don't hesitate to email or give me a yell if there's anything you need. See you around! Fredil 00:49, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Although we aren't really friends on Misplaced Pages (we barely know each other), it would be great to get to know you and, in time, call you a true friend. If you ever need help (why you would need my help, I have no idea), just leave me a message at my my talk page; if you just want to chat, either drop a message off at my talk page or my sandbox's talk page since we have more room to chat there than we do at my regular talk page. Well, glad to see you're back and we all missed you very, very, very much. Sayonara! // Sasuke-kun27 01:05, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
I agree here too. I don't know you all that well, but, like Sasuke said, I would love to get to know you better. If you ever want to talk (why with me, I don't know) my talk page is always open, as is my Feedback and complaints page. As I said earlier, we are all glad to have you back and missed you X 1,000,000....--teh tennisman 03:07, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Ballet

Oh! Oh! Buenos días, Editor at Large (E@L, I believe, is how you are referred to?). From reading your talk page, I understand you went through a momentous and possibly -- in fact, very likely -- nasty experience recently, and I wish you all the best in recovering. I also want to THANK YOU for inviting me to be a part of WikiProject Ballet! *jumps up and down* I would be absolutely delighted in doing anything I can to help you and Keitei out in this, as I have a rather rabid adoration of ballet and ballet history, and do have a tendency to terrify small children when I try to dictate to them the wonder that is the art of ballet. Perhaps these... skills... of mine can finally be put to good use. Please tell me what I should do, and I'll do it! (Provided, of course, I'm not in Nutcracker rehearsals, which are currently in full swing...)

Thanks so much -- Emmegan 01:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome Back!!!!!

Welcome back E@L your precense was missed here at wikipedia. You are one of the nicest wikipedians (and person) I have ever met. We all missed your pretty userpage.--Seadog 03:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome back!

Welcome back to Misplaced Pages, E@L! I'm so glad things are going better for you. That was a really nice message you left on my talkpage (one that I feel I don't deserve). I'm glad I can call you a friend here on Misplaced Pages. Again, glad that you're back! -- P.B. Pilhet / Talk 03:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome back!

Yahoo! Welcome back.--Tdxiang 03:36, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Smile!!!

Ed has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!

--Ed 04:08, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Yea! I see you're improving! You've already restored your userpage.--Ed 04:11, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Vandalism

Check Randfan's talkpage. riana_dzasta 04:12, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

What's this cool message you've been sending people? I missed out *sob* Heh, just kidding. Take care. riana_dzasta 04:49, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
I can't believe that Randfan is a vandal. LOL. Anyway, E@L, do you know how to do IRC? Thanks. Bearly541 05:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
LOL, still laughing. Maybe some admin blocked him because he was putting too many pictures on E@L's talk page. >_< Bearly541 05:37, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Or, he got mad, because E@L didn't put a banner on his page. Okay, enough with the teasing! Bearly541 05:41, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
No, I was just alerting E@L to the fact that he's been autoblocked. Heh, no worries about the message poke, I was just kidding :p riana_dzasta 11:53, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
btw... friendship impersonator? :( do you mean friendship personified? :D riana_dzasta 11:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm not a vandal! Please believe. Why would I do it? Randfan 23:23, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

We're proud of you!

Thankyou for being personal with your messages of thanks. You are a very devoted wikipedian and we are lucky to have you! Jamo 04:56, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Also I noticed your userbox which says you want a wikichild to adopt and I was wondering whether you would be interested in adopting me. Anyway take the time, i'm sure you have other things to worry about at this time. Thanks Mate Jamo 05:50, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
E@L, Dfrg.msc has adopted me but It would be an honour if you could be my wikimother! Drizzt Jamo 03:18, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Further yays

Your userpage is back! Yay! —The Great Llama 19:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi there

Hi there,Editor at Large.I know that you wouldn't know me from a bar of soap,but I wanted to write a message anyway.I'm so sorry that anyone would do that to you,and I understand how hard it must be for you now (same thing happened to me).I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone,and there's lots of people (I can tell,from all their messages on your page) who are care about you very much,me included.Serenaacw 20:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Tuesday

I hope today went well, and I hope you bought some pepper spray. I always carry mine with my keys on my keychain. Bearly541 00:00, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm so glad you're back!!

Wow, I really can't understand what you've been through, but you had the crazy incredible courage to get back on your feet and stand up. You're amazing.. an inspiration!

It's really good to see you around again! --lovelaughterlife♥ (user|talk) 05:48, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

re: Vandalism warnings

Whoops! Yep, that was by accident. I stuck it on the User Page and forgot to sign it. Sheesh! Thanks for letting me know. - eo 18:24, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Randfan

I'm sorry your pages were blanked. I didn't do it, though, but I think I know who did it! Hope you believe me and we can still stay friends. And I'm happy that your userpage is back! Randfan 23:05, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Still Ecstatic!

So, so glad your back! Hope we can still be fiends. Randfan 23:30, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

To guard you from vandalism. Randfan 23:30, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
And this to show you I care and hope you are still my friend. I'll always be yours. Hope you feel well. I found this image nice, too. Randfan 00:48, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry for having him (at least I think it is a him (still not sure if its 100% who I think it is)) vandalize your pages. I'm gonna take myself off of your friends list, if I'm on it. Do you even have a friends list? Well, if you don't I'll add one and take myself off it (that was wierd sounding). Thanks. Randfan 01:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I'll miss being your friend. Randfan 01:50, 16 November 2006 (UTC):
This user doesn't like Randfan. No Randfan
I added to your template page. Still ecstatic about your (and Kyoko)'s return! For anyone else, feel free to add this to your pages. Bye. Randfan 01:52, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
What the %&%$? I'll wear the template with pride. Culverin? 08:28, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Vaganova article

E@L -- I will get to work on the Vaganova article shortly (I have class with a teacher tomorrow who was partly trained in Vaganova, and who probably has a wealth of information she can fill me in on!) Next week is vacation week in RL for me, so I will have plenty of time to squander upon writing and rewriting Wiki articles. Thanks! Emmegan 03:26, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

how are you today?

So, how are you doing. Hope well. Sorry for the above, I have self-esteem issues (as in the mental problem, not puberty). Well, any ways hope you feel great and we can still be friends (are we?) Randfan 21:43, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you and I would help categorize/edit the "while you were gone" section (good name for it, by the way) but i'm not really a good editor. Actually the only time I've ever really done a good main space edit was on my first day when I created 12+ stubs :) ! Thanks! Randfan 23:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

suggestion for archives

Hi there, I hope you are feeling better. I was answering a message on Randfan's talk page and I saw your request for help archiving. I would suggest archiving chronologically, splitting messages by every day or two. I could do it if you really need me to, but it would probably be more proper for you to do it yourself. On a somewhat related topic, I hope that the recent talk of deleting Esperanza altogether hasn't upset your mood. It's nice to see you back on Misplaced Pages. --Kyoko 00:27, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

You guys are awesome! Best people in the world right here, commenting on this talk page! (Except for me, of course). And don't worry about the E@ thing, "the Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills." That's from a book series I like (and the origin of my name) and that Kyoko has partially read. --Randfan 01:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
File:Resilient-silver.png The Resilient Barnstar
After being all that you've been through, you desrve this. It perfectly describes you! Don't let anything get you down again, or I might have to fill up your page again! ;) --Randfan 01:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

hey

Nothing's wrong, I'm just feeling a little disheartened by some stuff going on around here. I'm off to take a break now, I'll be back next week. Take care! (I'll reply to your e-mail tomorrow-ish) riana_dzasta 04:21, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

e-mail read

Hi there, I read your e-mail and responded. I think I forgot to answer one part, and I will respond to it as well. Now answered. --Kyoko 13:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC); Kyoko 14:08, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Userpage

Wow, Editor at Large, you have a beautiful userpage! I love the color you chose for the background, as well as the images. Congratulations. | AndonicO 15:56, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Classy? I think you just didn't know what to say. Yours is classy; mine, somewhat odd. The Odyssey was also odd (by that I mean the language used), but engaging too. I apologize about the practical joke; some people like it (barnstar), while others don't (User:Tennis Dynamite and yourself). I often fool myself into thinking I have new messages. When I saw it for the first time, I thought my talk page had been vandalized. Thank you for the compliment, and sorry because of the Practical Joke. | AndonicO 18:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Oh, I thought you were really upset (judging by the look of that emoticon). By the way, your userpage looks good at home, but I might have something else to say when I go to the library. ;-) | AndonicO 18:41, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
By the way, I'm sorry I gave you the "orange bar of doom" | AndonicO 18:44, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Advice

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
Thanks for being so nice and giving me loads of advice, you're really too kind :) Will 20:04, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
You earned it! I wanted to give you one, but he beat me to it. --Randfan 22:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
There isn't a rule that says someone can't get too many barnstars, Randy. As you said, she deserves it. Will 23:08, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
okay!
The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
For being very considerate. Hoora! Randfan 23:49, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

and my name isn't Randy. It's from a book so it should be proper. However, you can call me Randy if you like. By the way, is there a redirect to this page like: user:E@L but to this page like this: user talk:E@L? Randfan 23:49, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, okay. Randfan 23:49, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't have done that. Llama Man says it could be Chuck Norris (insude joke). Oh, well! Guess I'm going to wikijail (or viciial in Latin-ish)! :) Randfan 23:52, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Riana

Hi E@L I am glad to see that you are feeling better...Thank goodness it is the weekend. But I have a question, Is Riana dzasta okay? She deleted her userpage, now it is back...but she deleted her wikifriends list. I would like to know if you know if she is okay.__Seadog 03:08, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

zOMG, they're talkin' about me! :p Oh, you people are darlings. I'm absolutely fine. I'm just a bit stressed about exams, that's all. E@L, I'll reply to your e-mail tonight (sorry, I've been soooo busy). And Arjun, I'll send you a message in a minute :) riana_dzasta 12:39, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
OMG LOLZ. They care! That is so nice. I am so cold and lonely Culverin? 08:24, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Barnstars

Even though I am taking a break, how do you a make a new barnstar? I have this idea about having a barnstar which has four stars...thus calling it the "Four Sticker Barnstar." I will upload the file when I get back! Bearly541 11:13, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Make that link - the user page has been blanked now, and I've warned him/her. Thanks Martinp23 15:52, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks, I feel somewhat better now. I liked my old userpage better, before all this happened (wow, that userpage was like in August...) but it needs a major rewrite to meet who I am today. I'll get started on that ASAP :) Fredil 16:33, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

do you want to be mentioned in my message box?

Hi E@L, I was wondering if you still wanted to be mentioned in the message box I have at the top of my userpage? I can change it if you want. I'm asking because I am considering some changes to my page in general and I thought I would ask. Thanks. I hope you are feeling better.--Kyoko 18:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Vaganova article

Hóla, E@L -- I just finished plowing through the Vaganova method article. I've cleaned it up, added external links, and tried to take some of the POV out of it. If you'd take a look and let me know what you think on my talk page, that would be great! Thanks so much, Emmegan 21:08, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Adoption

Hey E@L,

I really hope you're feeling better! By the looks of the mood spectrum on your user page, life is, you know, comme si, comme ça, which is good considering all that you went through. I'm just leaving a short note to tell you that I really appreciated the short time of being "wikiadopted" by you, and that I will no longer need to be adopted. You're going through a tough time right now, and I think I have this wikipedia thing pretty much figured out (the basics anyways). I'm actually even planning on adopting newcomers myself! I hope that we will remain wikifriends (haha that sounded really weird) and I'll be here if you need to talk about anything!

P.S. I'll also remove the userbox for the adoption on your page! :)

--lovelaughterlife♥ (user|talk) 23:59, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

I'll definitely keep that in mind! Thanks for all your help! --lovelaughterlife♥ (user|talk) 01:52, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Can you please tell me how to annotate my barnstars for my awards page (click the golden a of my signature)? Thank you! Bearly541 00:43, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
