Rfa thanks

Thank you for participating in my RfA. The Rfa was successful with 64 Support and 1 Neutral. None of this would have happened without your support. I would also like to thank my nominator Wizardman and my sensei/co-nom bibliomaniac15--Lenticel 09:12, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

YOU!

CWii_{(Talk|Contribs)} has hugged you! Hugs promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better (and hopefully wasn't meant as an invasion of personal space). Spread the WikiLove by hugging at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Hug others by adding {{subst:Hug}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Nice job

here. Neat. Enigma 04:56, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Also nice job on the RfB nom. Number-counting here, but it's the third-most supported RfB in history. Not going to get near #2, but that's pretty good. Enigma 17:37, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Dear MBisanz...Since you agreed that the sock puppet process needed an overhaul, I was wondering if you would be somewhat active in making sure that it gets done. Currently, the merging of Suspected sock puppets and Requests for checkuser is going rather slow. I would like to get the templating done soon. To do that the merging needs to be completed first, or at least the proposed process finalized. I ask you to take part in getting this done. You can start by reading SSP2 and then the talk page. I have already written two of the templates, but the rest will take a finalized process to write. Hopefully, you have the time to take part in this. Have a nice day! - LA @ 05:46, 25 July 2008 (UTC)_SSP2_going_slow"> _SSP2_going_slow">

Got off a plane a little while ago, will try to get to this in the next couple of days. MBisanz 05:18, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Could you do me a little favor the next time you answer on your talk page instead of mine, please place a {{Talkback}} on my talk page to alert me to the fact that you answered. Thanks! :) - LA (T) 10:50, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Grrrr ...

MBisanz, I saw your name in the edit history at User:Redirect fixer, so I'm hoping you know how one communicates with that page. It's messing up WP:GO. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:53, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that info; I left him a message. Very strange how a Wiki page that's not a user can change something basic that messes up basic pages, but I'm supposed to figure out how to communicate with the person or file a bug report. The default should be checked off; most strange situation. Thanks again, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:11, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

RFA thankspam

Thanks for your support in my RFA, which passed with 140 supporting, 11 opposing, and 4 neutral. I will do my best to live up to the trust that you have given to me. If I can ever assist you with anything, just ask.

Cheers!

RFA thank-you

Thank-you for your support of me at my recent RFA, which was successful. I have appreciated everyone's comments and encouragement there. Good Ol’factory 03:43, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

RfB Thank You spam

Thank you for participating in my RfB! I am very grateful for the confidence of the community shown at my RfB, which passed by a count of 154/7/2 (95.65%). I have read every word of the RfB and taken it all to heart. I truly appreciate everyone's input: supports, opposes, neutrals, and comments. Of course, I plan to conduct my cratship in service of the community. If you have any advice, questions, concerns, or need help, please let me know. Again, Thanks! — Rlevse • Talk • 08:46, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Hard block

FYI - That range doesn't hardblock me (not telling you this to take the piss but as far as I can see, all you've done is block the range for a large number of possible good faith editors). --87.114.36.65 (talk) 18:49, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Belated thanks

Thank you for mediating our discussion of the Peter Yarrow article. Who knows when resolution would have occurred had we not undertaken that process. So thank you very much, Aleta 19:51, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Rockfangbot

Nichalp asked me to set this flag. Why does it need the flag when the bot has a flag? The bot is the same and yet needs a flag for each task though the bot name is the same? I don't get this. Pls explain. — Rlevse • Talk • 12:31, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

It only gets 1 flag (there is only 1), ST47 must not have noticed that. MBisanz 12:34, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Blocked?

Why have you blocked my IP address from editing? Mr A (talk) 22:16, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

If I blocked your IP from editing, how you posting here? MBisanz 22:43, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

I have to log in to post these messages because my login is not blocked, just my IP when I am not logged in. But I would still like to know why you blocked me.Mr A (talk) 20:49, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Well before I can figure out what is going on, I'd need to know your IP address or the Block ID. MBisanz 20:51, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Range block collateral damage

This is from a rangeblock from a couple of days ago. Details at User talk:87.113.73.89.--chaser - t 23:14, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Unblock.

What the hell do you think you're doing applying a block to me?!

Kindly read my profile page, and sort your attitude out.

I am a long-serving wikipedian, and I know the rules back to front.

I do not engage in vandalism, and I absolutely object to you applying a block to my IP address - especially without even bothering to contact me.

This is a clear abuse of powers; and not in the spirit of Misplaced Pages (go to my page to learn more).

Unblock now; I don't want to have to make something of this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Macdaddy (talk • contribs) 17:47, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

It does not appear I've blocked you, is there a blocked IP or something? I'd need an IP address or block ID to go further. MBisanz 20:06, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:UnionCarbideHQ.png

Thanks for uploading Image:UnionCarbideHQ.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 01:42, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Mediation Committee

Per the two oppose rule, your nomination to become a member of the Mediation Committee has been closed as unsuccessful. Please note that the Committee has a policy which means that a user cannot reapply within three months of their last unsuccessful nomination. However, we recommend that you take this opportunity to use the comments made at your nomination to improve yourself not only as a potential mediator, but as an editor of Misplaced Pages in general. Thanks again for your interest.

For the Mediation Committee, Daniel (talk) 10:11, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

thankspam

Thanks to everyone who participated in my RfA, regardless of their !vote. I have withdrawn the nomination as a failure at 19 supports, 45 opposes, and 9 neutral statements. As has been written and sung, you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need — and what I need is to go back to working on our shared project. Not everyone has to be an admin; there is a role for each of us. After reflection, I feel I don't have the temperament to secure community consensus as an admin at any point, and I will not be applying again in the future — and hey, that's all right, 'cause I stay true to the philosophy that adminship is no big deal: I tried, I failed, and now I'll return to doing what I've always done. I have an extremely strong belief in the consensus process, and the consensus was clear. I will be devoting my energies to volunteering at MedCab and working up a complete series of articles on the short stories of Ernest Hemingway, among lord knows what else. Thanks again to everyone who spared the time to weigh in on this one. It was made in better faith than it probably seemed. Mr. IP 《Defender of Open Editing》 14:07, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for participating. Your oppose vote was very reasonable, of course, considering my own admissions. Hope to see you around while working on WP! I have appreciated your contribs in the past. Mr. IP 《Defender of Open Editing》 14:07, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

re my talk page

I can if the task is still open. However it will take me a week or so to catch up to everything going on :) —— nixeagle 16:34, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Kadaba

Hi!MBisanz, I have substantially added text and also maps for the two towns in two different districts of Karnataka. You may like to wikify.--Nvvchar (talk) 16:35, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks!

Thank you... ...for participating in my RfA, which closed with 119 in support, 4 neutral and 5 opposes. I'm honestly overwhelmed at the level of support that I've received from the community, and will do my best to maintain the trust placed in me. I 'm also thankful to those who opposed or expressed a neutral position, for providing clear rationales and superb feedback for me to build on. I've set up a space for you to provide any further feedback or thoughts, should you feel inclined to. However you voted, thanks for taking the time out to contribute to the process, it's much appreciated. Kind regards, Gazimoff 21:17, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
