Official thanks, slightly delayed due to post-RfA crash (who knew?)

Tapadh Leibh (Thank You)...

...for helping me navigate the waters of my surprisingly peaceful RFA, which closed successfully with 85 supports, 1 oppose, and 0 neutral.

I would particularly like to thank Acalamari and Alison, my nominators, and everyone who watched the page and ran the tally.

If there is anything I can do to be of service in the future, please feel free to contact me.

If you hate RfA thankspam, please forgive me. I promise I won't block you in retaliation for deleting it ;-)

And forgive me if I need a Wikibreak now and then (like now. I'm exhausted!). You wouldn’t want to see me climbing the Reichstag, now would you?

Off to flail around with my new mop! (what?!)

Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫
This RfA thanks inspired by Neranei's, which was inspired by VanTucky's which was in turn inspired by LaraLove's which was inspired by The Random Editor's, which was inspired by Phaedriel's original thanks.

Hello! I think the increased automation of Wikipedia will make fighting trolls and vandals easier. It gets annoying to revert vandals, but I find that it is usually easy to do so.

Sorry but that got deleted a lot faster than I expected. I have restored your last version without the templates (see Talk:Battle of Marion/Temp ), so you can continue working on it. When you have finished move it back to the Battle of Marion page and I will delete the temporary Talk:Battle of Marion/Temp page. Let me know if you want help or advice on cleaning it up. David D. (Talk) 19:26, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

WTF

I am not a sockpuppeteer. I have welcomed many users (see my contribs). Your evidence is very weak. Please request a CU if you don't believe me (I can't request one) Alexfusco5 17:11, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

More counter-evidence. If I had a sockpuppet and was nominated for adminship by the sockpuppet, why would I want to decline the RFA Alexfusco5 17:21, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Typo redirect Ancient Egyptian engineering

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Ancient Egyptian engineering, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Ancient Egyptian engineering is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Ancient Egyptian engineering, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Fenis Castle1.JPG. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Fenis Castle.JPG. The copy called Image:Fenis Castle.JPG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account.

Is there a possibility that Fenis Castle|300px can be made larger? If so, would you be willing to help out with it. Its a nice pic. Redmarkviolinist ^(talk) 05:57, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for nominating the image - it is pretty - I hoped I didn't come across to harshly in my vote. Unfortunately, generally speaking, there is no way to expand images and maintain their detail. Once an image is shrunk, that data is lost. Do you have the original image, or the raw format from the digital camera? That's the best possibility. de Bivort 06:35, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

User talk:ScooterGrisen‎

Hiya - sorry, but you appear to have removed the "tl" from {{tl|helpme}} on the above user's page. I'm not sure why, but have reinserted it, as the enquiry (which was from a month ago) has been answered, and the reactivation is causing some confusion. If I've overstepped the mark, or there was a purpose to your removal, feel free to let me know. Thanks! Giles Bennett ^{(Talk, Contribs)} 14:31, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

battle of marion

I just noticed that you did a cut and paste for a move rather than using the move option at the top of the page. Don't you want to preserve the history of the article? Or are you not bothered? If you want I can restore the previous edits to preserve the history. If that is what you'd like don't make any more edits to the article. David D. (Talk) 17:54, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

i hope that is the correct version. David D. (Talk) 18:02, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Are you still looking for a coach?

I saw your name over at admin coaching. Have you found a coach yet, and if not, are you still looking for one?

I put my name up to volunteer to coach, not to be coached. Just a notice, Redmarkviolinist ^{Drop me a line} 20:37, 25 December 2007 (UTC).

No problemo. By the way, your name is listed here: Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests for Coaching#Current requests. The Transhumanist 22:38, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I am not vandalizing Wikipedia and have proven it, just users keep reverting my good edits. 172.164.16.207 (talk) 03:17, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Let's get started

See your coaching page. You may find the other coachees' coaching pages interesting too. Use the backlinks on your coaching page to visit the VC. Good luck. Have fun. The Transhumanist 06:36, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

League of Copyeditors roll call

Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there. The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors.

Other Users

Other users are deleting everything and calling it nonsense! I'm sad and you should help me out! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pumagirl7 (talk • contribs) 19:50, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for assisting this editor. If there's anything I can do to help you, let me know. Accounting4Taste:talk 23:32, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Insulted

I have to admit, I'm kinda insulted. Of all the edits logged under my IP address only one could be considered outright vandalism is the blanking of KMTDCfan89‎ user page (and that one wasn't me...it was my brother having a fight with the guy spilling over from some other message board).

All of my other edits are NOT vandalism, nor did any of them delete any real information! In fact the ONLY deletion is the removal of a picture of a swallowed Simba button from the Simba article.

Sidney Leslie Goodwin (4 August 2007): Removed the bolding from a phrase that shouldn't have been bolded.

Western North Carolina (3 September 2007): Actually reverted some vandalism.

North Carolina (10 September 2007): Fixed the location of the State.

Talk:United States (25 September 2007):Answered someone's question about voting in the US.

United States Declaration of Independence (26 October 2007):Fixed what I thought was a capitalizing error in the article.

Grand Theft Auto IV (2 December 2007): Fixed what I thought was a spelling error. When It was reverted back I asked in the talk page and discovered that I was wrong and didn't attempt to change it back. (aeroplanes VS airplanes)

Talk:Harry Potter (27 December 2007): The page was covered in all these big red error messages, becase I didn't know what they were I asked in the talk page. Soon after they were gone.

As you can see the ONLY vandalism under this IP was back in late October. And I'm insulted that today you posted a message in my IP talk page more or less accusing me of being a vandal with my edits and that "instead of vandalizing this information, instead think of expanding and making it better." 71.75.103.239 (talk) 17:47, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Please respond. I'd really like to know what recent edit I did that sparked the vandalism accusation. Because as I've stated I haven't preformed any. 71.75.103.239 (talk) 04:08, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Editing

Yes, I am sure that I'm willing to edit. I'm very smart and creative for my age and I thing they should know that I could be teaching my teachers(once I did in a class that didn't give the right information, but I got kicked out. Apperently, they must have thought wrong was right.)
