You've been doing some great stuff. Your enthusiasm and willingness to get stuck in is totally amazing. And you are bold, and you have great ideas. Well done!!! SilkTork 03:03, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Kudos and applause

Happy New Year! I Couldn't agree more with the spirit in WP:Wh, so I made it a shortcut and love bureaucraticite. Brilliant! Thanks for a great read. You and I have similar backgrounds, though we're on opposite coasts. If you're a chargers fan, we'll have to a Canadian like DeathPhoenix mediate our own discussions until, say 4:00 pm your timezone Sunday though!

   Would love to see you move it out into wikipedia space where it truly belongs. You already have it tagged, so finish it soon, and do it. Such conscientiousness raising pieces are valuable. It's a least as good as Fred Bauder's Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not therapy.

   I'm also with the WP:Wc but usually drop WP:WC on newbies which I altered sometime back to have links useful to newbie's (like lists of admins, the welcome committee members, etc.) to whom they could turn for help. (Ahem... didn't you just say something about this and this!) At that juncture, the danged people manning Help:Newcomers help page didn't want their link prominently displayed on the main help page. (Apparently, they still don't!) It's still not an obvious choice AGAIN (Arrrrrggghhh-- how many times does one have to fight some battles!), but FOR A TIME at least the stink I raised made 'em rethink instead of all but hiding it!

   I can't believe BOTH those pages were changed recently for the worse just when I was writing you about them in one message. What're the odds!?? (Evidently, on a wiki, very good. Grrrrr)

    Maybe you and I should publicize the heck out of this essay haunting all the xFD's for a few weeks and dropping the shortcut. Another concept to consider, put together some newbie help tutorials see User:Fabartus/Snooping tour... "instant skill clues", only one subst needed, thankyou. I'm sure we could attract some assistance and make a small but very worthwhile project out of it. Heck, I'm pushing 7,000 edits and I still get turned around by things— especially changes. But at least I know how to try several things so I can usually get to 'there', even when it's been moved.

   I just took another (It think small) mediation case tonight I hope should go well and am mentoring/advocating on another which just calmed down for a bit at least, but I think such a project worth kicking around as a concept. Among other things, will reinforce your essay when we publicize it on the VP. I gotta run. Nice to meetchya! Best regards // FrankB 08:43, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your kind words and support! If the Pousse Cafe article looks a little run down now, it's cuz I cut out some of its content and folded it into the new Layered drinks article. The denoted difference between the two is unclear.

Re: Award

Wow, thank you very much!! I'm really honored to receive the award, and I'm glad you decided to stay on Wikipedia (and the other Wikimedia projects). If there's anything I can do to help you, drop me a line and I'll do my best to help. Cheers, Tangotango (talk) 09:26, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, sorry for the late reply, I've been off the English Wikipedia for a while due to personal time constraints. About the template you flagged for deletion in Commons, it's already been deleted, and I'm not whiz at languages or anything, but judging from the "/gu" subpage name, it might have been Gujarati :) Cheers, Tangotango (talk) 12:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Very impressive images of drinkwear. Much needed. thuglastalk|edits 05:24, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I've been alright, i still have a couple mid terms yet. So far so good! Instead of self-testing myself or tutoring others ive been adding to wikipedia as a self-test. thuglastalk|edits 19:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure what to say other than thank you!! I'm honoured and extremely grateful. I'll give your other projects some consideration, but for the next fortnight or so I'll be rushed off my feet one way or another so I'll be lucky if I even touch a wikipedia page for ten days or so!! I'll have a serious look when I get back. Happy-melon 21:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

fuck u24.79.132.118 15:48, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. I think Willscrlt is doing an excellent job, 24.79.132.118. By the way, who names their kid an IP address? That's worse than Moonunit or Apple.
I recommend retitling this section to "happyface"

  • Thanks for the vote of confidence, Phil. This anonymous user (thus the reason for his/her IP address appearing) is just unhappy because I reported him/her for vandalizing another user's page as well as an article. I'm kind of amazed that it took this long before someone finally decided to vandalize my page. I consider it a badge of honor for work well done. :-) --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 00:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi

Hi, I noticed you did some work on the Clan Murray clan badge, thats great. I write much of the Scottish clan articles here too but unfortunatly I was recently banned for uploading copyrighted images. However I can be un-banned by another user. Would you be able to unbann me ? I can explain how to do it. My username is Mjgm84 thanks, 195.137.109.177 12:47, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

VP and Nardman1

Thanks for telling me your thoughts on this user. However, you are incorrect in that we do look at factors other then editcount when making approvals. Based on looking though Nardman1's contribs, he/she doesn't seem all that active in vandal fighting. If a user proves they know what they are doing when reverting vandals they may be approved before they have made 250 edits. However, this does not apply to Nardman1, and so he was not approved. We encourage him to reapply soon. Thanks, Prodego talk 14:41, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I love

your energy and enthusiasm. Wiki really needs more people like you. You do stuff, and I think that's great. I'll take a look at your ideas and get back to you. SilkTork 14:49, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

thanks

Thanks for vouching me for Vandalproof. I know I've neglected your project...It just seems there's nothing that really catches my eye. Maybe if you could point me to specific articles I could clean up I'd get some motivation. Nardman1 19:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
