== Reponse to mediation and end to dispute ==

Hi, i contacted you at first hand so i could show my case regarding to spanish wikipedia. But since arguments and counter arguments have been shown. I have decided to walk away from any further dispute. And on the following statement i want to make things clear, before closing my case.

:First of all I asked Kim Brunning's assistance with that.

:And in response to Dodo's arguments in his commons page, i must add, that i had publicly declared apologies to him for the incident and i stated that it is my wish this will never happen again. [http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Usuario_Discusi%C3%B3n:CleverChemist&diff=15813536&oldid=15813513]

:And as for the Wikimeet up incident, i have to declare that my words were already deleted and such issue has been closed.
:As of March 15. The page has been cleared and updated and ''no any sign of endorsing nor following previous comments i had made have shown up'' [http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Discusi%C3%B3n:Encuentros/I_Encuentro_de_wikipedistas_en_Lima].

:I am sorry if i sounded a little bit paranoic in my first post, but i didn't know what to do. (I even asked for help as it could be seen from here [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:HappyApple&diff=197883622&oldid=197883468] (Of course that can't be taken as an excuse but certainly it is my wish to settle down this dispute and make it finished or let case closed).

:i also want to state: i had made many mistakes over the process (during and after the incidents) i admit i should have remained calm. so i want to address apologies to all parts involved and declare that i will never state any arguments against anyone, like the way i did.
:Dodo and petronas have left Spanish wikipedia, but i am sure this was motivated not by me, but by other users involved (personal affairs or disputes) on that as you can see here [http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Caf%C3%A9/Portal/Archivo/Miscel%C3%A1nea/Actual&oldid=15824776#Os_est.C3.A1is_portando_como_cr.C3.ADos]. So i wish this could be set on the record.

:I know you had expressed to Dodo on his user's page that you will not buy my story [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Dodo&diff=prev&oldid=10457659]. it is ok, i admit i had been paranoic. ''but not anymore.''
:''This time, i had being neutral with myself'', and i am showing to you evidence based on records and edits made by other users.
:So i wish as part of cabal mediation, ''you could give me a chance'' (''as i had no other previous incident made, except the showed on cabal mediation during these days'') (assuming good faith) and let the case closed on mediation cabal discussion. Thank you for your patience, --[[User:HappyApple|HappyApple]] ([[User talk:HappyApple|talk]]) 07:16, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Medieval household GA review

Thanks for your review of my article on the medieval household. Sorry I took so long to respond, please see the talk page. Lampman Talk to me! 13:17, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your quick response, and your pass! I've listed the article on the GA page, under History (Europe). Did you update the count, or should I do that? Lampman Talk to me! 14:15, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A bot updates the GA number template, but you should update the section count if you've changed the section. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 14:16, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chances of passing an RfA

Hello H2O.
I am hoping you can give me some advice.
I was nominated for an RfA two weeks ago. I failed on the grounds that I had too little experience in non-vandalfighting areas.
Since then, I have not really changed my editing patterns. However, I have done a lot of vandal fighting since then.
This is a fairly hard-to-read text version of my wannabe kate summary at the start of my failed RfA
Here is my wannabe kate summary now.
Someone asked me today if they could nominate me for admin. I told them I would have to ask some experienced users what they thought about me trying again so soon after failing an RfA.
Based on what I have done in the interval, do you think there is any chance that I would pass an RfA? J.delanoygabsadds 16:48, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In short, no, you won't pass. For a start, make Panasonic DMP-BD30K better. I saw your comment re. me in your last RfA (sorry about my mistake on that other article), but the reception section isn't the only problem. There are random linebreaks, badly formatted references, no images, and a stack of listcruft. Show that you know MOS and care improving and developing more than one article and you'll have a better chance of getting my support. Sorry if this seems blunt, but as you've come for honest advice, it's best, IMO, if I give you my honest opinion. Hope you don't mind :) Give it a few months, branch out into other areas, develop more articles, and I'd be happy to give more advice in the future. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 22:25, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No offense taken. I do have a few questions. Do you have any suggestions about how to eliminate the listcruft in Panasonic DMP-BD30K? As I said in my RfA, I patterned the article around another (rather poorly written, apparently) article (Panasonic DMP-BD10) about an almost identical product. I have no ideas of how to properly integrate the mundane info into coherent text. Also, I am not sure what you mean by random line breaks. It looks fine on my 1280x800px screen, and when I changed my screen resolution to the other available sizes, (800x600, 1024x768, 1280x768. I have a notebook) it still looks OK to me.

Wikimania 2009

We're quite late as-is (obviously). I may publish in as little as an hour, so if you can do it, please feel free, but I will publish without it if it's not ready when I am. You can start with what I have at User:Ral315/News and notes. Ral315 (talk) 07:42, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for help

Hi water =), i had posted an entry in mediation cabal and you promptly answer. I am sorry my english is not fairly good so i want to try my best to communicate with you.

Basically i had updated the section which i was working on few minutes ago (adding details of my request and so on). I am not sure what would happen next but i hope my problem can be solved. Thanks --HappyApple (talk) 10:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look now, thanks for the note. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 10:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, i really feel some frigthened as he could convince his friends or , i dont know , he may use his power to block or ban me (in spanish wikipedia, that's for sure) after the mediation cabal request i posted here. --HappyApple (talk) 10:36, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I very much doubt that will happen. I recall working with Dodo in the past and not seeing any such issues with him. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 10:42, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, i dont know if is rather illegal, or is it allowed?. But Am i able to have two different accounts in two different Wikipedias?. i.e. i am known as HappyApple here, and CleverChemist in spanish wikipedia (i am not sure if this is legal?).
By the way, i had recently check my discussion page on spanish wikipedia and Dodo has said that i am defamating him because i had posted my request for mediation. And he also has said that my attitude is resulting rather destructive. Do you agree?. per see A la vuelta.
You know i really want to say thanks for your advise and guidance on this. But since Dodo's attitude, shown to me today i really frowned down to assume good faith. However i want to remark i am polite and i wish this situation can be solved. Like i explained myself in the mediation cabal request, Dodo, has blocked a friend account and he has since behaving like a bully. --HappyApple (talk) 10:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again. I hope to do not being unpolite or annoying with my request. But as i suggested in my previous message. It just happened. Dodo's friend. Petronas has blocked me for about three days. [1] --HappyApple (talk) 11:23, 13 March 2008 (UTC) Pd. i know this would happened, i rather would say he is very angry because of my request.[reply]

Air China Review

Some parts of the article not well written, eg Subsidiaries. Destination list have no source, and source provided have no access date. Please improvise, i will do a second review once the article is well written. Jannisri (talk) 12:06, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You accidentally deleted references

I noticed that you changed the Australian Idol 2007 page, to tidy it up a bit, but in doing so you accidentally wiped 6 references, and then put a note at the top to remind people to add in references! I have added the 6 references back in to the page, and added in some more useful information. I thought that it was a bit biased to simply stated that "in reaction to Mark Holden's encouragement, Tarisai Vushe lashed out", because in actual fact she lashed out in reaction to Mark Holden telling her live on air that she was fake. I am sure that the YouTube videos of the shows themselves provide sufficient evidence to back up all of the claims. Also, it wasn't just Ben McKenzie who was affected by the Hillsong Church allegation. As at the time that the allegation was made, the favourites were 1. Tarisai 2. Matt 3. Ben McKenzie 4. Daniel 5. Marty with Carl and Natalie favourites to be eliminated. The Hillsong Church claim had the effect of reversing the voting, such that they finished in roughly the opposite order, and it is very important to note that. They didn't just fall randomly either. 7th, 6th and 5th were all named by Hillsong.

Anyway, if you think that there is some problem with showing video footage of the show itself, and quoting its content, then please feel free to make the necessary amendments. Dyinghappy (talk) 15:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Articlehistory on GA passes

Hi, Dihydrogen, I spend far too much of my time cleaning up GA passes, wanted to let you know for future reference. Please see the instructions at Template:Articlehistory. When the ah is installed incorrectly, it causes extra work for me and for GimmeBot (it stalls the bot, and he has to make two passes). When there is a previous peer review, it is the first event in articlehistory, so building GA as the first event stalls the bot. I've reverted the incorrect template, replaced it instead with the GA templates, and when GimmeBot goes through, he will get it right. If you don't build the ah correctly, it's best to use the old GA templates and let GimmeBot do it correctly.[3] Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:13, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I copyedited this article today, and all of my concerns about punctuation errors have been resolved. If you want to perform a GA review, please feel free to do so. I don't want to come out of this bearing ill will toward anyone, but I did feel attacked yesterday. I have been working to try to cut down on the GA nomination backlog, and I applied the criteria as I understood them. I am apparently the only editor who didn't know not to take the stability criteria literally, but I am glad to see that the criteria have been rewritten. I just felt that, instead of other editors appreciating my effort, they spat in my face for making an honest mistake. I'm sure that I'm taking that too personally, though, so I wanted to let you know that I have moved on. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:56, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit too involved (IMO) to do a review, but thanks for the comment. I appreciate your sincerity. You have been doing good work, sometimes people just don't notice this when you make a mistake. I apologise for doing so. The stability criteria has been changed to what actually happens, which is good - again, I'm sorry that I (we?) attacked you for going by the letter of a guideline when you were't aware of the spirit. Thanks for your help; I do hope to see you around GAN again, if you can find it within you to forgive me (us?). Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 05:20, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest, you probably didn't attack me. I think I just need to take a few days away from Wikipedia to clear my head (not just about this situation, but just in general). Fortunately, I leave for vacation tomorrow morning, so I am forced to do just that. I apologize for my unwillingness to listen to feedback. I was caught off-guard and was too defensive to give an appropriate reply, which just snowballed from there. I am very glad to see that the stability guideline is changed so that this can be avoided in the future--perhaps it was good for this to happen because it prompted that change. Thanks for your understanding, and perhaps I will get back to reviewing articles once I get home. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:54, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
