re: warning message

sorry that was my stupid friend. it wont happen again. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rgorczyca (talkcontribs) 04:53, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Glad to hear it. Just in case your "stupid friend" does it again, I've added you to my watchlist. This way your good edits will remain, and anything less will be swiftly removed. I'd hate for your reputation to be effect by other people using your name ;). Happy editing! AuburnPilot 04:59, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Your opinion wanted

Someone has marked one of the articles I originated for deletion. I have greatly cleaned up the article, and wanted your opinion, for or against. The article is here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/2006_Chris_Wallace_interview_of_Bill_Clinton

Please place your opinions here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/2006_Chris_Wallace_interview_of_Bill_Clinton —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.214.17.5 (talkcontribs) 00:05, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Sure, I'll be glad to give my opinion, although as the original author, I doubt you'll like it. I think the article is definitly news worthy, but I'm not sure it's encyclopedia worthy. Will this interview be important in 20 years? I just can't see how it would. Clinton? Yes. Chris Wallace? Maybe. The interview? No, I just dont think it will. Sorry if it's not the opinion you were hoping for, but I'll head that way now. AuburnPilot 00:44, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your opinion. I still think the interview is a historically significant interview. Not because of the arguments which occured between Clinton & Wallace, which I view as mostly a distraction, but because it's one of the only times Clinton has gone on record w.r.t. these matters. As the article states, discussions between Presidents & V.P.' on issues such as these for the purposes of the 9/11 Commission were not under oath, private testimony. So there is not much else to go on. Not that it should change your mind (don't), just wanted you to hear it from my perspective.


WP:RFA/Cynical

Thank you for contributing to my RFA. Unfortunately it failed (final tally 26/17/3). As a result of the concerns raised in my RFA, I intend to undergo coaching, get involved in the welcoming committee and try to further improve the quality of my contributions to AFD and RFA. All the best. Cynical 14:58, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

SCART

Although I believe my point made on the SCART pages to be valid, I understand fully your desire to revert the page to its previous state. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.133.137.48 (talkcontribs) 18:56, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

While clarification is always welcome in articles, the problem was with the speculation of SCART designer's experience. I hope this doesn't discourage you, but rather encourages you to make better contributions to this great project. Happy editing! AuburnPilot 18:59, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

"What a joke"

Please AGF? You declared the RfC closed by stating that consensus had been reached on the version that you approved of. Since the RfC was originally about whether or not the information should be included, I tried to AGF and assume that this is what you meant. I believe I still have legitimate objections to the wording of the intro as it stands, and I believe that many of the other editors involved are not opposed to hashing out better wording. Cbuhl79 19:02, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but I will not be participating in that RfC. I have a very hard time assuming good faith with single purpose accounts, but that really is just one small part of the situation. Good luck in your RfC. AuburnPilot 19:06, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Apologies for editing your User Page, that was entirely accidental as a result of following different links at different times. As far as single purpose accounts, you should be able to see that I created my account well before this incident, and that I've removed some WP:WEASEL terms and WP:PEACOCK terms elsewhere. A small number of edits does not mean an account must be WP:SPA. Cbuhl79 19:16, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Your right, and that's why it is only one small part of the situation. Again, good luck in your RfC but I have no desire to participate as I believe the issue was resolved fully in that last one. AuburnPilot 19:19, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

On reverting vandalism

I did not disparage him. That was not vandalism. Those are all true things that *somehow* failed to get mentioned in the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.230.148.146 (talkcontribs) 20:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Mmm hmmm......right. I guess it was the accusations of lousy science fiction, making illogical arguments against people being able to have intellectual property, disparaging the Boy Scouts, and sodomy (both giving and receiving) that threw me off. I'll have to be more careful....right, because that wasn't vandalism....right... AuburnPilot 02:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank You

For offering your opinion at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Lori Klausutis (third nomination). The article was deleted. "The quality of mercy is not strain'd . . .

Nifty little boxes, aren't they? AuburnPilot 02:44, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

HBF

Hello. I just added a table for the commercial singles releases on the page for . I wanted a second pair of eyes to make sure I got all of the tallies transferred properly, and since you were the last person to edit the page, I was hoping you might take a look and check it over. Thanks! Chubbles1212 17:51, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I checked out the HBF article and I think you've got it covered; I didn't see any dropped information. Looks good... AuburnPilot 18:54, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Hello AuburnPilot! Thank you for supporting me during my recently concluded RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of 77/2/0. I hope I live up to the confidence you have shown. I'm still exploring the new tools, so feel free to point out of any mistakes on my part. In case you need help with anything, just leave me a message. Thanks again!--thunderboltz 08:30, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

User:Zisoc

Huh, that's a little odd. Looking at the top fifty, it seemed like most of their nosource markings were valid, but their later edits started marking images with patently false db-noimage -- not sure what to make of it. They seem to have stopped for now; I see somebody gave them a {{bv}}. I'll check back tomorrow and see how things look then, I guess. If they're being obviously disruptive, I think I can handle it; the finer points of image policy are far from being my best point, though. ;) Luna Santin 08:47, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Aviation Museum of Kentucky

Thanks for creating the article Aviation Museum of Kentucky. I shall contribute as much as I can. I frequently visit there so it should not be too hard.

Thanks, H-BOMB 14:20, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

explanation 10/24/06

if you were telling me to explain what ypu sent with your message, i was just letting u kno how much of a bum he is. ;) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jock81 (talkcontribs) 19:12, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I was actually referring to the oddly incoherent statement that you left on this page referring to an elephant . I'm still unsure of what meaning it has. AuburnPilot 01:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

A very Californian RfA thanks from Luna Santin

Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of (97/4/4)! I've never been able to accept compliments gracefully, and the heavy support from this outstanding community left me at a complete loss for words -- so, a very belated thank you for all of your kind words.

I have done and will continue to do the utmost to serve the community in this new capacity, wherever it may take me, and to set an example others might wish to follow in. With a little luck and a lot of advice, this may be enough. Maybe someday the enwiki admins of the future will look back and say, "Yeah, that guy was an admin." Hopefully then they don't start talking about the explosive ArbComm case I got tied into and oh what a drama that was, but we'll see, won't we?

Surely some of you have seen me in action by now; with that in mind, I openly invite and welcome any feedback here or here -- help me become the best editor and sysop I can be.

Again, thank you. –Luna Santin
Thanks for your trust. I won't let you down. :) Luna Santin 20:02, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Elonka

(copying your earlier comment): I was sorry to see your RfA close with no consensus reached. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your next one. You're an asset to Misplaced Pages. Keep it coming! AuburnPilot 01:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your comments, and your support!  :) --Elonka 06:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Are you admin?

Are you an administrator? Don't erase articles that you are not familiar with. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jbeutler (talkcontribs) 05:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

No, I am not an admin and I did not delete your page. AuburnPilot 05:24, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Fox News Request for Arbitration

This is a notice that I have filed a request for arbitration. You are either an editor with which I am in direct dispute, or an editor who has been involved in the discussion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cbuhl79 (talkcontribs) 17:21, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

For all that is good and holy....I'm at a loss for words...I'll decide whether or not I'll participate by the end of the day today. Thanks for the notice. AuburnPilot 19:15, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Amazing, isn't it? I find it highly unlikely that the committee will agree to hear the case. However, I do encourage you to advise them of just how much bad faith is involved here. I tried to give a brief explaination, but i'm never brief!  :-) You may be able to give a more concise and better phrased account of why this is absolutely unbelievable. On a side note, do you go to Auburn? I suppose I could read your user page ;-). I think about my auburn years every day of my life (fondly). /Blaxthos 20:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, if I were to make a statement, that is the general idea it would have; that I believe the entire situation is overblown and unworthy of ArbCom's attention. Now more importantly, yes I am an Auburn student. I've been down here a few years now and can't image going anywhere else. Well, until I graduate; no desire to make this home. Love the town, the people, the campus, pretty much everything, but it's just too small-town-Alabama. Although if you haven't been down here in a while, it has definitly grown. AuburnPilot 00:23, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
There is some interesting disucssion going on at User_talk:Cbuhl79. I wouldn't join in, but you might be interested in what you read. As far as Auburn... I haven't gone back in a few years, not really regularly since the late 90's. What I miss most is not Auburn itself, but the memories I have of my friends and our experiences there. The last few times, it was like... there wasn't anything there for me anymore. Auburn University is still there, but the Auburn I knew has grown up and moved on. I think probably every alumnus from every University has that feeling, in some way or another, at some point. A lot of my friends and I are still in touch and fairly close -- if there were any point in my life I could experience again, my Auburn experience wins hands down!  :-) War Eagle! /Blaxthos 22:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

George W. Bush article

AuburnPilot,

I very much appreciate your monitering, both faithfully and without biased, the article on Bush. I enjoy reading articles on wikipedia and it is an invaluable source of information to me. Without such monitering this article would quickly be rife with personal opinions and would be worthless. Dedicated individuals who care about the topics, like you, make this encyclopedia so great. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.88.45.9 (talkcontribs) 02:33, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

It is always nice to receive feedback on what I do here at Misplaced Pages, especially when it's a compliment. I very much appreciate your comments and thank you for making them. I try to be even handed in my edits, and I will of course continue to try my hardest to keep it that way. Thanks again, AuburnPilot 02:58, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting my RfA

Thank you for supporting my RfA that I have passed with 73/2/1.--Jusjih 09:15, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for making sure I get good laugh at the end of my wiki week (considering all the nonsense we've had to deal with this week). I just saw what you reverted from the George Bush talk page, and your edit summary. Oh man, TGIF. Ramsquire 23:44, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

It has definitly been one of those weeks. TGIF is right. ;) AuburnPilot 01:47, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
