Thank you for contributing to my [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/HighwayCello 2|my request]] for adminship. Although I wasn't promoted to admin status, with a withdrawn vote count of 14/27/14, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was pleasantly suprised at the support, and was touched by it. I will also work harder on preventing disputes and keeping cool under stress. Hopefully I will re-apply soon and try again for the mop. Thanks again, [[User:HighwayCello|H]]< |

You are quite wrong about the US not being a police state. The US Government does exactly those things. Just do a web search on "police state." It's quite obvious. YOUR NNPOV should lead to a block of YOUR access. [[User:206.124.6.4|206.124.6.4]] 15:56, 3 August 2006 (UTC) |

My dear Halo, I feel clumsy and foolish trying to write you this... what can I possibly tell you that you don't know already? That you are way, way beyond the simple meaning of a "friend"? That sometimes I feel like I've known you for years, or that every time I talk to you I am filled with joy? Nothing, nothing I can tell you can sum up all you mean to me properly. Know that you're in my prayers every night, and that I long for you to return to us the way you used to be, because as long as my Halo is not here, WP is darker, and sad. I miss you, my dear Halo. With a big hug, your friend, |

I was overjoyed to see that your userpage had returned (though that psychadelic image was always fun to look at... ;). It's fantastic, even if you are sparsly editing for now. I hope things continue to improve, and no longer cause you troubles. And if they do, well, then I'll have to find some more smiling image to grace your talk page with. :) -- [[User:Natalya|Nataly]] |

Due to your experience in conflict resolution on Wikipedia (e.g., as a member of the Mediation Cabal) we’re extremely interested in your insights on this topic. We have a survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=400792384029 which we are inviting a few selected Wikipedians to participate in, and we would be extremely appreciative if you would take the time to complete it. As a token of our gratitude, we would like to present you with a PARC research star upon completion. Thank you for your time.

My nitpicking
[edit]Hi Halo. Nice userpage! I hate to say this, but you have a minor problem with a (I admit nice) picture: Image:Slurms MacKenzie.jpg is licensed under fair use, and thus per WP:FAIR not allowed on user pages (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:FAIR#Policy, No 9). Sorry. Have a nice day! --Ligulem 22:55, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

My RfA and your vote
[edit]Hullo Halo, Thanks for participating in my RFA! Ultimately, no consensus was reached, but I still appreciate the fact that you showed up to add in your two cents. Thanks for complimenting me as a user in your support vote, as well as keeping the count current throughout the RFA :). Although we haven't had much contact (as you said in your vote) I've read some of your comments on WT:ESP and I must say I'm quite impressed. You can feel free to talk to me about it or add some advice on my improvement page.

Thanks from Yanksox
[edit]Hey, The Halo, thanks for supporting my RfA, which registered a tally of 104/4/7. Which means...

You're cool.
[edit]Therefore, you get ice to signify how cool you are. Will (Take me down to the Paradise City) 10:23, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Thank you for contributing to my my request for adminship. Although I wasn't promoted to admin status, with a withdrawn vote count of 14/27/14, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was pleasantly suprised at the support, and was touched by it. I will also work harder on preventing disputes and keeping cool under stress. Hopefully I will re-apply soon and try again for the mop. Thanks again, Highway Return to Oz... 13:33, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

That caught me off guard and now I have three out of the five legs on my chair broken from falling on the floor … OK, so that was an exaggeration. I did laugh a lot though, and wanted to tell you that it was funny. *LOLs off into the distance* ;) $ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-T|ε|C|L-) 15:30, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Nothing "personal" about the US being a police state
[edit]It's a recognized fact by everyone except a small minority of Republicans. I'm sorry the truth hurts you...but it's not an opinion. What's more, YOU seem to be the one reverting articles. I'm adding missing content, troll. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.124.6.4 (talk • contribs)
You are quite wrong about the US not being a police state. The US Government does exactly those things. Just do a web search on "police state." It's quite obvious. YOUR NNPOV should lead to a block of YOUR access. 206.124.6.4 15:56, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm glad you like the police state and are happy to participate by helping it with your censorship. I hope you feel proud of that. I sleep well at night. 206.124.6.4 16:16, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Subst:'ing
[edit]When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Thanks, — FireFox (talk) 15:31, 6 August '06
Hey
[edit]Hey Halo, Just wanted to let you know I'm back! Æon Insane Ward 16:43, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Two things...
[edit]…I noticed you like the Theatre and Literature. :D Those happen to be among my great passions (ahem, I ostentatiously apologize for the plagiarism). :P I know everybody thinks of Shakespeare when they think of the Theatre, and as much as he was good, he wasn't the only playwright to have existed—so who is your favourite playwright?
The other thing almost needs its own header. I myself cannot word it so as to not seem snoopy or stalking, to quote Nathan, but I had to ask—your "real life" occupations won't keep you away from here too long, will they? (Of course, we couldn't have that!) :P
I assume you are asleep now, as I will probably be when you reply to this, but anyway, if you are asleep, have a good night, good rest of the day, etc. etc. and don't work so hard, don't drive so fast, and as always, keep opera in your heart. :) —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-C|ε|L|T-) 02:42, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- Wow…it's been a while since I've actually seen a play, even though I have studied a few scripts (yes, most of them were Shakespeare), but I'm not sure if I have a favourite. If opera counted as plays, would those count? ;) Within the world of the Bard, though, I think my favourite plays are The Tempest and As You Like It. —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-C|ε|L|T-) 23:03, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

You've got a Thank you card!
[edit]Dear Halo, thank you so much for your beautiful words, your kidness and your trust in me! My Request for Adminship is finally over, and the support and appreciation that the community has gifted me will stick in my mind as long as I live. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me, and all I can tell you is, I'll try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, make sure to come here and give me a good yell! :) Seriously, tho, if you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you'll always be welcome to message me, and I promise I'll try my very best.
My dear Halo, I feel clumsy and foolish trying to write you this... what can I possibly tell you that you don't know already? That you are way, way beyond the simple meaning of a "friend"? That sometimes I feel like I've known you for years, or that every time I talk to you I am filled with joy? Nothing, nothing I can tell you can sum up all you mean to me properly. Know that you're in my prayers every night, and that I long for you to return to us the way you used to be, because as long as my Halo is not here, WP is darker, and sad. I miss you, my dear Halo. With a big hug, your friend,
Want to help on/rescue the article Scarlet Carson? Seeing as I have the film and you have the comic, we could make a good partnership on such articles. Will (Take me down to the Paradise City) 14:51, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, a merge might be better. Will (Take me down to the Paradise City) 19:04, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, sorry to bother you but...
[edit]I was just wondering how you put a link to Esperanza in your sig or how you put a link to *hypothetically* your editor review in your sig? If you could perhaps help me out, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and if you are busy, disregard this message because it is a trivial matter and should not detract from your more important duties. Thanks again and happy editing!

Photos
[edit]Until such time as the mess involving your sister is cleaned up (if ever), all photos which show her face have been deleted. The photos of pets are still up, though, since those are fairly neutral.
I'm sure she'd appreciate that; kindly pass the word along. DS 02:09, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

- Phew! If you were to leave, that would be a very, very sad day indeed. I hope you can take your time away to relax and let things calm down a bit. So much stress just isn't cool. You've been really supportive of me when I was stressed, I only hope that I can return the favor. -- Natalya 15:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I hope you feel psychologically in better shape soon. I can only imagine how tough this kind of stuff can be. Don't worry about what happened to me last month, it's just a complete non-event. I feel fine. A lot more difficult wiki-things have happened to me, like a couple of religious editors battling it out on my usertalk - or a bogus RfC and impeachment.

I was overjoyed to see that your userpage had returned (though that psychadelic image was always fun to look at... ;). It's fantastic, even if you are sparsly editing for now. I hope things continue to improve, and no longer cause you troubles. And if they do, well, then I'll have to find some more smiling image to grace your talk page with. :) -- Natalya 03:02, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
