Thank you soo much

Thank you for your kind welcome message. I was affraid that my additions were unwelcome as many users have been un-profanely attacking me. I will continue to add my knowlege in an un-biased fasion to various Misplaced Pages pages. I promise to maintain compliance and only add secondarily sourceable material and otherwise independantly verifiable information. It pleases me to take part in the Misplaced Pages project.

??

Any particular reason why my entry was deleted while I was editing it? It seems EN World, also a D20/D&D website is special enough to have it's own Misplaced Pages entry but Realms of Evil which is older is not?

Sysop access restored

Hi. Having verified that your desysopping was voluntary and that there were no controverted circumstances involved, and in view of your request via email to me, I have restored your sysop access. Cheers, Redux 13:05, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

A 62 hour desysopping, that must be a record for a voluntary request. I think you should pay an Early change of mind penalty ;). NoSeptember 14:12, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
I agree. Shame on you. BOSTON SUCKS! - crz crztalk 14:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm just such a lavish person person and my urges must be controled. :) Yanksox 14:59, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
You are an admin still? This is great. But then again – Aw man! I wanted to take part in the record breaking RfA by piling on. That would have spectacular! ;-) JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 18:32, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
LOL! Err, I was resysoped, but I'll try to do my best, heh. Yanksox 19:15, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Back already? a'right, you're getting blocked again for not taking a proper wikibreak. I think a week is appropriate. Or maybe a month. btw, wanted to make sure you saw this. Thanks again, my friend.Kchase T 19:31, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aziyamarcee (talkcontribs) 16:24, 17 December 2006 (UTC).

  • I would like to request some assistance with my ISkin article, which has been marked for deletion. Unfortunately, I am still familiarizing myself with article creation on Misplaced Pages and would like to ask for a bit more time to gather my data for the article. Any advice or help you could offer would be greatly appreciated! Dazednconfused693 22:18, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Harry Potter characters birthday list

Where do you get off deleting and article that has 5 comments saying delete out of 19 total with the rest supporting a merge or keep? John Reaves 22:15, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

If your conclusion was that stuff was already merged, you should have closed it as redirect to preserve the history. - crz crztalk 22:27, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
There wasn't anything to merge, it's a list of names and dates. I'll restore and redirect. Yanksox 22:56, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
It's the format of the list that was useful. Will the prior versions still be accessible? John Reaves 23:00, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Restore = Restoration of entire history. Yanksox 23:01, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, and consider the consensus next time. John Reaves 23:09, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh, sorry for intimidating you. I'm not "hiding under numbers", I just assumed that you hadn't read he AfD since you deleted instead doing what the majority said, and redirecting. Please don't arbitrarily delete articles based on you opinion of the article instead of the clear-cut consensus of the AfD. John Reaves 23:26, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Don't worry about it. John Reaves 23:30, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

De Cordova image

Thanks for adding a badly needed image to the Frederick De Cordova article. I saw images on the internet, but had no idea what hurdles had to be lept through to use one, because of all the copvio stuff. Edison 23:52, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Sources

Of course, but they're frustrating when Web sites go down or articles are removed from the site. Just for my own info -- when an article from a reliable source appears to have been removed for good, does that mean that the detail is no longer verifiable and should be removed from an article? My gut is no, the item was still sourced by the article accessed on such-and-such date, just as something in print or in other electronic media wouldn't be Web-accessible. But I'd like to get an "official" take on that topic. (And then if you have time left over you can tell me if my take on WINAD is all wrong. :-P) - PhilipR 06:06, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


Arthur Mattuck on deletion review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Arthur Mattuck. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Hornplease 06:45, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Email reply

Since my email seems to not want to send my message (though last time someone emailed me and I thought it hadn't sent my reply, it did, so we'll see), I figured I'd just C&P my response here:

I really, really, really appreciate the kind words. I love simply editing WP, and I certainly don't do so in a quest for acclaim or increased self-esteem, but it's also nice to know that others recognize your contributions.

Honestly is a tough thing- I do feel that it's the "best policy," but it can get you into trouble. I'm proud to say that I don't pull punches, and I wouldn't want people pulling them with me- if you think I've screwed up, call me out on it!

I love 'Deis. It's going to be tough leaving- especially when I have to enter the "real world," which I absolutely do not want to do. But, of course, all good things must come to an end. -- Kicking222 19:54, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


AC/DC Article

The links on that page have been the subject of a long, ongoing discussion of which I don't recall you previously being a part of. Many months ago an administrator named SooTHING had to step in and make a ruling on what would and would not be included in the links. That ruling was accepted by all the parties involved. However, sometime within the last 2 months, SooTHING's decision was anonymously removed from the AC/DC talk page and the edit warring began again. Please don't make it worse than it is by adding fuel to the fire of the anonymous vandals on that page. NCC17 21:09, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Awesome

I wish I had a dollar for every article that I've {{speedy}} tagged with the word "awesome" in the text!!--Anthony.bradbury 21:57, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

w00t

I agree with your definition of w00t, but it needs a source. If that slang page isn't kept strictly enforced, it quickly becomes unmanagable. --Onorem 22:25, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

wOOt? Is that something you say when you visit the local Hooters? ;-) JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 02:42, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Heh, we'll need sources on that one. :P Yanksox 02:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. More research... JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 02:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Priory Community School

2 things;
1, what makes you want to delete the Priory Community School article as we have only just started building it
2, what is it about having the subjects taught and the heads of those subjects 'unnecessary and excessive'? This is our Priory Community School wiki, thanks to Riana dzasta the article complys with all copywrite laws and website rules. it is being built by staff and pupils but you are not helping by deleting things when they are put up. if you have a genuine reason to delete sections, please do, but do not delete a section because you think thats it is unnecessary and excessive. you are abusing your rights as admin. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tomato3991 (talkcontribs) 17:53, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

I don't want to delete it, I'm questioning the notability. Also, you don't own this article, it is not yours and having a list of teachers is just plain absurd. Yanksox 18:48, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Arthur Mattuck deletion

Hi I, the author of the article, have left a message in the Deletion review/Log that I quote here:

Hi, I am the one who create this article. I did it because The video lectures of Differential Equations at MIT OCW were done by him. Several MIT professors' that are involved in the OCW project haver their article at wikipedia. Just to mention some of them: Prof Walter Lewin, Prof Gilbert Strang and Prof. Sylvia Ceyer‎. The article was really short and to be honest it didnt have anything relevant but the personal webpage and the ocw link to the video lectures, but my intention was to create the article as an stub. Bcartolo 18:52, 19 December 2006 (UTC) Bcartolo 18:55, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your response, I'm newbie here but learning everyday. Thanks again Bcartolo 18:58, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Need admin help

NCC17 (talk · contribs) has taken ownership of the external links section of the AC/DC article even after you requested he stop. He has gone, by my count, 5RR today replacing his favorite fansites, blogs and chatrooms. He claims that anyone's correction to his WP:EL violations are vandalism even though there was concensus among the articles regular editors that none of the fansites were notable enough and their "official" website was not the site NCC17 keeps pushing. NCC17's edit summaries claiming that he is re-instating Admin SoothingR's link suggestion is also false. SoothingR's mediation was that only the record company links + the DMOZ link should stay. Any assistance would be great. Have a nice day! 198.164.250.44 20:13, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. Perhaps peace and civility will return...at least for a week-I am guessing :) . 198.164.250.44 20:19, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for helping out with this Yanksox, it's much appreciated. ĤĶ51 22:53, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I'm really stumbeling around in this space area of yours, so I hope I came to the right person! I red the absolutely stunningly beatiful dream Anniversary party at dream of peace network. Is there any possibility to have your permission to pass that on to friends? I know some of my friends at myspace would be enlightened of your words. In any way I would like to thank you for shearing that dream!!!

(Since I'm very new in the computerworld I would be thankful if you'd- if you answer- send it to my page: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=99701559)

My deepest respect and wishes of delightful holidays!!!

Love; moonmary

Being an admin coach

Hello Yanksox. I'm coordinating the Esperanza admin coaching program. You're listed as a coaching volunteer. Would you like a student? If so, would you coach User:Qrc2006? Please let me know. Thanks! --Fang Aili 15:49, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Removing my comments

The arbcom said I can edit whenever I want. The baseless proposal to ban me was not supported by anyone except the guy who proposed it. So go find out what happened from somewhere and quit removing my comments.--203.109.209.49 06:38, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I see, for some reason the enforcement stayed on though the remedy didn't pass. See here: Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Konstable/Proposed decision#Implementation notes it is voided. So I can edit, I haven't really done anything wrong apart from unblocking myself.--203.109.209.49 07:04, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
