Thank you...

Thank you for your support

Unfortunately, my RFA was closed recently with a final tally of 75½/38/10. Though it didn't succeed, I wanted to thank you for your support and I hope I can count on it in the future. Even though it didn't pass, it had a nearly 2 to 1 ratio of support and I am quite encouraged by those results. I intend to review the support, oppose, and neutral !votes and see what I can do to address those concerns that were brought up and resubmit in a few months. If you would like to assist in my betterment and/or co-nominate me in the future, please let me know on my talk page. Special thanks go to Schmidt, , TomStar81, and henrik for their co-nominations and support. — BQZip01 —

Hey You

Hey, I see you dropped by last week. I'm glad you haven't totally given up on looking in from time to time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this may mean an indication that you're gathering your strength back. The place seems kinda empty without you here, and I hope that a return is in works. You've done such great work here, and helped so many others become better Wikipedians, and better people. Just letting you know that you are not forgotten, and you were, and hopefully are, a cherished asset to the project. Hope to see an all gala affair in the near future, as FT considers a return to family. Let me know, and I'll be the first to roll out the red carpet! Cheers. ;) — Ched :  ?  05:56, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah seriously, come back. We need people like you on here with your newly acquired mop & bucket. Don't let the naysayers get you down. Valley2city 07:45, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Yea :) Misplaced Pages needs more users like you :) You are the best adopter wikipedian could EVER have :D We need you at wikipedia or it will break :( We miss you! Irunongames • play 20:23, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Welcome back

:) Amalthea, hoping that your edit was not just an exception. 20:11, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

OK

tldr coming up here. I've started and canceled this post at least a dozen times over the last couple days FT. I was honestly shocked and honored that you took the time to support my RfA ... but that's not really the reason I'm here. I admit, I truly had a lump in my throat when I read your words - and it reminded me of what a great and wonderful asset we have available to us. I do understand the need to step back and reflect, I do it often myself. I am also quite aware of what a tremendous talent we have sitting on the sidelines at the moment. I am in no way trying to pressure you into stepping back into something you're not willing or wanting to do. There are people here for all different reasons. Some wish to concentrate on the technicalities, and focus on "encyclopedic content" only. That is not a bad thing, although their posts may seem hurtful, they only focus on their own beliefs of what is best for "the encyclopedia". They too have their place and value in our family. You have such tremendous abilities to offer our family FT, your focus on humanity and your realization that we are all living human beings is beyond reproach. To be perfectly blunt ... If I saw an RfA tomorrow with your name on it ... I would support in a heartbeat. Anyone who would question your work with new and young editors looking for help here ... would be a fool. I truly hope that a bit of time and reflection will give you the strength and encouragement to step back into our family circle (however dysfunctional it may be), and become the beacon of hope, encouragement, and collaboration that you have the talent to be. The concise version? ... I miss you FT, and I hope you come back soon. — Ched :  ?  06:48, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

I hope all is well

I just wanted to drop a word here and say "Hello!" I hope that all is well with you, and I sincerely hope this will be a wonderful summer for you. :) Pastor Theo (talk) 01:12, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Poll on Ireland (xxx)

A poll is up at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Ireland_Collaboration/Poll on Ireland (xxx). This is a vote on what option or options could be added in the poll regarding the naming of the Ireland and Republic of Ireland and possibly the Ireland (disambiguation) pages. The order that the choices appear in the list has been generated randomly. Sanctions for canvassing, forum shopping, ballot stuffing, sock puppetry, meat puppetry will consist of a one-month ban, which will preclude the sanctioned from participating in the main poll which will take place after this one. Voting will end at 21:00 (UTC) of the evening of 1 July 2009 (that is 22:00 IST and BST). -- Evertype·✆ 18:15, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Poll on Ireland article names

A poll has been set up at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Ireland_Collaboration/Poll on Ireland article names. This is a formal vote regarding the naming of the Ireland and Republic of Ireland and possibly the Ireland (disambiguation) pages. The result of this poll will be binding on the affected article names for a period of two years. This poll arose from the Ireland article names case at the Arbitration Committee and the Ireland Collaboration Project. The order that the choices appear in the list has been generated randomly. Voting will end at 21:00 (UTC) of the evening of 13 September 2009 (that is 22:00 IST and BST).

Orphaned non-free image (File:Empress and the warriors poster.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Empress and the warriors poster.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. FileBot (talk) 20:43, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

An exciting opportunity to get involved!

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis 00:25, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Happy Labor Day!

Dear colleague, I just want to wish you a happy, hopefully, extended holiday weekend and nice end to summer! Your friend, --A Nobody 05:56, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Arsh.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:Arsh.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:42, 16 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey (talk) 10:42, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Clear background2test.gif

A tag has been placed on File:Clear background2test.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Misplaced Pages (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. --Rrburke 03:01, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Happy Halloween!

As Halloween is my favorite holiday, I just wanted to wish those Wikipedians who have been nice enough to give me a barnstar or smile at me, supportive enough to agree with me, etc., a Happy Halloween! Sincerely, --A Nobody 18:40, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
