Hi Silversmith, thank you for your vote of confidence on my recent successful RFA, it was much appreciated. I will work to demonstrate that your trust was well-placed. Fawcett5 19:38, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your support

Thank you for voting on my RFA. Have some pie! I was pleasantly surprised by the sheer number of supporters (including several people that usually disagree with my opinion). I shall do my best with the proverbial mop. Yours, R adiant _>|< 08:01, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

Lone wolf terrorist/odd behaviour of history

I agree with your assessment, and I've moved the detail to Independent terrorist actor. Regarding the history strangeness, I've noticed that a lot; I edit a page, and the previous edit disappears from history. I find that if I wait a few minutes (10-20) the history usually fixes itself. The other day I moved a page, and the whole history disappeared for at least 1/2 hour, which was scary. And if you want to see something really strange, look at the history of Talk:Germany;[1] no matter what you do, the May 10 edit by Heimdal is always the second last edit. I think it all has to do with the load on the network of machines storing and synchronizing this information; one day they'll sort it all out (I hope). Cheers. Jayjg ^(talk) 21:30, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thank you from uwe

hallo Erin - thank you for promoting my most beloved magic critter. I like your userpage a lot (and your contributions) - finally someone with a real name and a face - you seem to be a very interesting person, if I would still be young I would visit your. Could you maybe get some text and images of krill to the Spain namespace, just a little would be a fine starter - good luck to you (I did some silverwork too) - Uwe Kils 15:09, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

Wuv oo

Hi

First things, thanks for the note on the camellia flower. Yeah I'm sorry about the double ups on the images - but someone not long ago asked me to upload my photos to the commons so that everyone could easily access them, and I started doing just that and didn't think to replace the old en.wikipedia ones. I'll send you my email, but first you have to send my yours - the link you gave doesn't work for me. --Fir0002 10:03, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

Support template

Hi Erin: I saw your new Support template and think it very attractive. Sadly, however, I feel that it is another step in a trend to make RFA a quasi-democratic vote. As things stand we claim that the process is about consensus building. This was entirely true when the process first began: as an online discussion. Then someone decided that it would be clearer if support, oppose, and comment were separated. This reduced the sense of debate and increased the sense of tallying; an impression that was further increased by the introduction of the tally summary (and, briefly, tally boxes). Consensus is the heart of wiki and enough people already conflate this with voting and with polling. Your lovely symbol only increases the sense of putting a cross on a ballot paper. Please reconsider its use.—Theo (Talk) 14:33, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for supporting me on my RfA. It's always nice to get some positive feedback. I hope I can put my new abilities to some good use. -- grm_wnr Esc 17:44, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
