Dear Friends,

I have spent a short time on Misplaced Pages, but nonetheless a very joyous time. I feel that it is time for me to move on with life. I thank you all for becoming such a special part of my life. Perhaps, I shall return under another account someday. I request that my userpage not be changed, nor my talk page. If someone would archrive forty of my threads on the talk page, I would greatly appreciate it. Feel free to de-sysop me if you desire. Thanks you all and happy editting! --Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor

Heads up

This may be interesting to you ... Check the diffs.... Pedro :  Chat  11:00, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Very socky. Considering in two minutes it was: Register account, create redirect from user page to talk page, hit user pages. I'd move to block on the basis of an undeclared WP:SOCK but that's punative not preventative. Us newbie admins need to be carefull! :) Looks like the account has stopped now, but further edits I think WP:ANI. I'm going to roll back my user page. Pedro :  Chat  20:33, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Template:Oppose_Symbol

Hi, The Random Editor. I noticed on Kelly Martin's RfA that you created Template:Oppose Symbol. Are you aware that similar templates have been deleted several times, and are currently salted? See Misplaced Pages:Templates for deletion/Log/Deleted/June 2005, Misplaced Pages:Templates for deletion/Log/2006 April 13, Misplaced Pages:Templates for deletion/Log/2006 July 16, and Template:Oppose and Template:Support which are salted. They may soon be deleted as a recreation of deleted content.

Anyways, I would ask you to re-consider using the template. --Iamunknown 18:49, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

See also Misplaced Pages:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 May 3#Voting templates yet again and User:Fir0002/Discussion on templates. The templates have quite a history, and it looks like consensus is against having them. Gracenotes § 19:47, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
And also see Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship/Archive_86#Support.2C_Oppose_and_Neutral_Logos. TomasBat 02:30, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

User: Please Check Again

Please delete this account. I only created this account, because I didn't know I could edit my talk page while being blocked. I signed the two messages by this account with my real name here (Squash Racket), I clearly stated this is me, and after Nat told me about how to appeal a block I only used my real talk page. Squash Racket 07:01, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Forget it. You know it's mine and it won't be used anyway. I don't want to make it seem like I have made a 'dangerous sockpuppet', I think that would be the next 'evidence'. Squash Racket 04:25, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages has a new administrator!

Thanks, The Random Editor!
Thank you for voicing your opinion in my RfA, which passed today with a unanimous 79/0/0 tally. It feels great to be appreciated, and I will try my best to meet everyone's expectations. If you have any advice or tips, feel free to pass them along, as I am sure that I will need them! Cheers, hmwith talk 21:26, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

You asked for it...

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
For your extensive contributions to admin-y areas, and because you asked for it several times :-), I award you the Tireless Contributor Barnstar. Long live TRE! --Agüeybaná 00:10, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

The Bearstar!

The Bearstar
I hereby award you, The Random Editor, this Bearstar! The Bearstar is a very special award, a barnstar eaten by a bear! It is awarded to the Wikipedian who says something very humorous and or random, thus cheering up fellow Wikipedians who read it. This Bearstar is perfectly suited to your name, and your continued efforts on Misplaced Pages. 00:31, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I second this bearstar :)  — Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 07:18, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Bearian thirds this bearstar! Bearian 13:30, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Bearian's RfA

Thank you for supporting my RfA, which passed 63 to 1. Your comments at the RfA were so kind. Thanks again, and I hope to do my best to live up to your confidence. Bearian 13:29, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

My dear TRE

I sincerely hope that you take a short break and reconsider, but as I'm not aware of what is happening, I invite you to email me, should you wish to talk to someone, I'm a really good listener. I do, however, hope that you'll reconsider. ~*Hugs*~ 21:36, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

May the Holy Spirit protect you, wherever you go. Thank you for your work here, TRE. We'll remember you; forever </drama> :-) Your friend, Agüeybaná 21:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I must concur with Ari here. I do hope you reconsider, but if you do not, here are some parting words, a favorite poem of mine.
Here are some parting flowers for you, dear TRE
Here are some parting flowers for you, dear TRE

Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind blow at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
May the rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
Until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of his hand
Please email me if you want to talk, I am a willing listener. Until we meet again, may you be blessed. We will remember you forever.
Love always,
Neranei (talk) 21:47, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

(edit conflict) In my brief time seriously contributing to Misplaced Pages, you've popped up on countless occasions, all the best in your future! Phgao 21:47, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, I came across this like I do so many things; Randomly from watching a lot of pages. I'd just like to say that, although I am not terribly familiar with your work here, what I have seen has been great and, like the folks above, I'm sorry to see you go. Take care in all that you do. Into The Fray /C 22:16, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
That's a real shame and I hope if it's because you're fed up with WP you reconsider, and if it's something in real life it sorts itself out. You were one of the most sensible ones here.iridescent (talk to me!) 22:40, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Nooo Plsease reconsider!!!! But if this is your last edit I hope the best for you Tre! Arnon Chaffin (Talk) 23:03, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Truly, though we have not had extensive interaction, I will miss your presence on Misplaced Pages. I think you're one of the good guys. Unless your departure is for some happy reason, I hope you will change your mind. --Moonriddengirl 23:38, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Good luck in real life, TRE. I really hope you return someday... TomasBat 23:55, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Nooo don't leave! Well, if you must you'll certainly be missed, hopefully you'll come back. Wizardman 00:32, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

You're leaving? Dude, you just became an admin! Well, come back soon, okay? Stay well! GlassCobra (Review) 01:27, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I've only seen your WP work in passing, but I myself have at least learned that you are one of the learned ones here on this great project. Misplaced Pages loses another great (random) editor today. Best of luck in all your future endeavours. --MikeVitale 02:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
I just manually archived your RfA thanks... :( It's sad to see you go, but hurry back if you get the chance or inclination. ~Eliz81 07:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
I've never expected this soooooo early, especially right after his Rfa...I really hope you reconsider. --Hirohisat 17:27, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
You are a great contributor to wikipedia and have been a great benefit to Misplaced Pages. I would like to wish you good luck for the future and hope you do decide to return some day. Tbo (talk) (review) 18:19, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! :D

Thanks The Random Editor
I would like to thank you for your participation in my successful RfA, which passed with a tally of (44/10/5). Whether you supported, opposed or were neutral in my RfA, I appreciate your participation and I hope that we can continue to work together to build a stronger and better Misplaced Pages.

Regards, nat 04:22, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Rogue Gremlin may be back

You quite rightly blocked Rogue Gremlin for three months after discovering his sockpuppetry. Dead velvet elvis shows an unusual interest in filing a bogus three revert rule report about JerryGraf. I have filed a request for checkuser. Sam Blacketer 15:58, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

My edits

You promised to follow my edits closely and that would be OK, because right now only Tankred is following me around and that is not a life insurance. I don't want an edit war, but it would look strange to call an RfC on every single edit. Squash Racket 13:41, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
