User talk:Phaedriel

Welcome to my Talk Page! I normally will respond on your own talk page, not here. I don't want to deprive you of the pleasure of watching a beautiful orange bar cheering your sight up :) I usually archive discussions when this page exceeds 40 topics. Of course, at some moments of laziness, this page may contain way more than that. But please, don't panic - I'm too good at that without your help! Needless to say, I have one golden rule I like to be observed at my Talk page: be nice, be nice, and after that, be nice. If after reading this, you still feel the urge to squeeze my neck for any reason, please visit this page, take a deep breath, and come back - I'll be waiting here! :) You may of course post here regarding admin-related matters or requests for administrative help. Such messages have my absolute priority when replying. In extremely urgent cases, you may also wish to email me here. I'll address your concerns as fast as my human capacities permit. Sometimes it may take me long to reply to you, but I invariably will try. If a few days pass without reply, please forgive me - I'll get back to you as soon as I possibly can, I swear! Current state of mind is...

Have a great day, and take care, --Miskwito 22:26, 28 July 2007 (UTC) Ura for the cake! (Here's hoping I got that right...). Just a note about my migrating of the comments: so far I haven't added the comments and such to this page, because I've discovered the bot-updated lists here, which I wasn't aware of before. Should I still be adding the stuff to the article classification list, or is it fine to just let the bots do that? The only difference I can see is that the bot-updated lists don't subcategorize articles into categories like "Nations, tribes and groups" or the like. Thanks, and take care, --Miskwito 21:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Happy Birthday! I know I'm hardly the first to say this, but I refused to do so until it was the 29th of July in my time zone.

"Happy Birthday" means much more Than have a happy day. Within these words lie lots of things I never get to say. It means I love you first of all, Then thanks for all you do. It means you mean a lot to me, And that I'm proud of you. But most of all, I guess it means That I am thinking of Your happiness on this, your day, With pleasure and with love.

My love to you on your b-day! – Dreadstar † 08:52, 29 July 2007 (UTC) Coffee ice cream for the party! Hope there's enough of Elinor's ice cream to go round Happy birthday, dear Sharon. Here's some home-made coffee ice cream for the party. I hope there's enough to go round. You may be a little surprised by the colour, but I infuse whole coffee beans in the warm mixture before straining and freezing, so the ice cream gets all the flavour, while remaining pale. You're very lucky that I was able to give you this, as Bishzilla ate my ice cream machine. However, she was kind enough to give it back to me, so I'm still able to tempt people with my creations. I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful day, and that the celebrations don't keep you away from Wikipedia for too long.

Lots of love, Ryan Postlethwaite 18:51, 29 July 2007 (UTC) Oh my Happy birthday! I hadn't a clue, but your enormous band of friends and fans alerted me with the enormously long watchlist entry ;) Glad to see Spring was on top of things and designated today Phaedriel's day - and love that he used the picture I found a while back. One of my favourites, and I think it perfectly exemplifies how much love and care and attention you are so willing to lavish on your friends and loved ones. May you have a wonderful day, and a wonderful year until the next birthday should roll around and I can say it all again! Love tons :) -- Editor at Large • talk 19:34, 29 July 2007 (UTC) Devolution on Talk:Battle of Washita River Hey Phaedriel, I just got back into the world of the living after being really badly sick... now am going to proceed with talking with your friend you mentioned. But in the meantime, could you take a look back at the talk page? It seems like personal attack city there, now with Felix c (talk · contribs) joining in by posting a bunch of material he got from looking up Custerwest outside Wikipedia. Gee, I've known that stuff for several weeks myself, but isn't posting it on a talk page tantamount to personal attack? CW's response not that much better. It doesn't seem that there's not even an attempt to use the talk page for the reason's an article talk page is supposed to be used, anymore -- i.e., about the article. I've also posted Alison (talk · contribs) about this. Kiitos. --Yksin 21:42, 29 July 2007 (UTC) Happy Birthday! And through this crazy life, and through these crazy times, Its you! Its you, you make me sing. You're every line, you're every word, you're everything! Thank you so much for your guiding hand in friendship, as well as helping me out when the occasional problem user. I am truly blessed to have a friend like you. Happy Birthday Sharon! Karrmann 23:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC) Happy Birthday! File:Magnolia heptapera1SHSU.jpg Happy birthday Phaedriel! Sorry, I was out all day and couldn't congratulate you on July 29th (UTC). But it's still that day in the US at this time (where I believe you currently are) so I think it's still okay to give you these blooming gifts now. :-) I hope that you are having a happy, perfect day, in the company of those you love. Keep smiling and making us smile with your rare, pure, kind and gentle soul. Happy birthday! Festive regards from your friend, Húsönd 01:13, 30 July 2007 (UTC) File:SI 5.jpg Hi...

I felt bad for just asking for a userpage because today is a special day for you :(. Will you eat the apology cake, away of asking for forgiveness of my rudeness and a birthday present? Thanks, --KitKatKelly93 03:34, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Gmail I'm on right now (¼ to nine Pacific time and ¼ to 11 Central time); I got on the moment I read your message but I cannot think of any human way to possibly thank you for your support. I would love to talk to you in real time but sadly I will probably be off by the time you get on. :( You've broken down all my barriers now, and I unabashedly tell you—in public—I love you so very much. — $PЯINGεrαgђ 03:46, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Belated wishes Dear Sharon, glad your Birthday was good. My apologies for not having wished you earlier, but I was out-of-station over the weekend. Actually, that makes me wonder - is there anyway to leave a message on a user's talk page after a timed interval? So that guys like me could wish people like you even when we're not in town. :) Anyways, a belated happy birthday to you! aJCfreak yAk 07:33, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Ohh...you didnt have to! Thank you so much for saving me a piece of chocolate cake, and commenting on my new userpage. I hope your birthday proved to be an absolutely fantastic day for you, and that 29 July will come for you many times again. Thanks again! -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 08:40, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Sharon Your welcome sweetie. Take care.

Take Care....NeutralHomer T:C 09:09, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Mmmmm cake :D Dear Phaedriel, thank you for the yummy cake! And no worries about the beer, I'm a teetotaler! And yes, as it turns out, the basics of my user page come from you. I ran into Chris the other day, and asked him if I could use his page as a template, because I just loved the layout. He told me his was from you, and I should ask you to make me one of my own, but I felt that it would be very rude for a perfect stranger to ask for such a huge favor, and indeed, your page mentioned how busy you were, so I just did not feel it right that I intrude, when we've never met. So... I spent 9+ hours trying to change it, and make it more "me". (Even though if it were up to me, I doubt it would look like that, I'm in no way that "organized" in RL! lol) I do not at ALL understand the script Wiki uses (heck I barely understand the basics of HTML, and I started making web pages over 10 years ago) so for me, it was a very painful process. Replace something, see if it changes anything, replace another thing, rinse, repeat. Ugh. But, with my Irish stubborn streak, and what I think was just pure dumb luck, I did get something semi-presentable. I wasn't able to do what I want, and it looks too much like Chris' page, (not "Ariel-y" at all) but compared to how it looked before... ( ack ! I made that 2 years ago, and could never understand how to change it to look better, lol.) At the time, I did not stop and think that altering Chris' page might be considered "taking" something from you, and I sincerely apologize for not taking the time to consider that. I don't think I understood when he said his page was compliments of you. As it turns out, you've designed many people's pages! (And awesome ones, I might add.) If you wish me to revert it, I would completely understand, and maybe just leave it semi-blank for now, I doubt I'll ever understand the intricacies of this CSS (or java or whatever language it is) stuff, and especially tables, to be able to do what I really would want. Talk about confusing for a Liberal Arts type person! (Psychology major lol, definitely not tech-minded). But, that didn't stop me from seeing that it was your birthday this week, and I did think it would be alright for a stranger to wish you a happy birthday, which is why I did. And I'm glad to hear you had a wonderful day! Respectfully, Ariel♥Gold 10:54, 30 July 2007 (UTC) A (late?) happy birthday wish Hey! First off, I think I'm going to have to accept that I'm never getting round to that email I promised :\ okay, so a huge happy birthday from me (hope I'm not too late!) and hope you have/had a great day! If there's any left, fire some cake my way ;-) see you around! Best wishes, Anthøny 11:20, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Yep, I'm late as usual. Still, no sincerity lost :) Happy birthday, and good luck with everything. Cheers, Daniel→♦ 11:22, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Double ditto. I was out of the country for four days, couldn't get a phone signal, let alone a wifi connection. Sorry I missed your special day, hope you had a good one!

Be well. HG | Talk 05:17, 1 August 2007 (UTC) Your welcome. Happy editing. Cheers, Lights 12:58, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Elonka RFA You might want to tag 35. Oppose the same way you tagged 36. Oppose. Let me know if you want help auditing the rest of the comments to help detect rigging. If we audit, we should check both Support and Oppose. Jehochman Talk 13:04, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Hi! :) I don't think there's need to actually add more to the comment you point out, as its author himself has been very open about his absence and the circumstances that brought him back to comment at that process. I'm unfortunately a little short of time to do an exhaustive check of every !vote right now, as I'm heading for work in a matter of minutes; please feel free to doublecheck any comments you believe necessary. I personally don't think that Elonka's RfA is highly irregular in either sense, nor supports nor opposes, considering the clearly contentious nature of the debate (and bearing in mind the events at similarly heated RfAs). I simply tagged an evidently disruptive addition, and it wouldn't have mattered to me whether it was a support or, as it was, an oppose. Still, it's best to keep a watchful eye to ensure the transparency of the process, so you're welcome to review other comments, and I'll try my best to stay vigilant. Have a beautiful day! :) Phaedriel - 13:17, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Expanding the userpage Surely I can expand my userpage with information that you could work your magic on. Let me see what I can do. Maybe check back tomorrow and it will be filled with information? Thanks Phaedriel, *silver* 14:33, 30 July 2007 (UTC) RE:Thanks Don't worry about the alcoholics: I'm underage. Of course, that is to say I can drink, just not legally. ;-) Thanks for the cake! —« ANIMUM » 14:58, 30 July 2007 (UTC) You're welcome That's some good cake, thanks! I'm glad your day was good, and glad you had a well deserved beer! Nice to have you back though, even just with you having a days absense, I can tell there's something missing! Hell, how many birthday greetings did you get on Wikipedia alone? haha. Again, thanks, and all the best! Jackrm 15:31, 30 July 2007 (UTC) The waiting list... Hi, I've noticed that you design user pages for other Wikipedians. I've also noticed that you are not taking requests right now (and for that I apologize), but I'd like to get on the "waiting list" before somebody else gets ahead of me. However, I will not dabble into requests and color schemes, as I am already annoying. Whenever you can get back to me is fine (I have patience), Thanks, James Luftan contribs 17:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC) E-mail I hope this e-mail thingy works :) Please check it and let me know if you've received it :) --KitKatKelly93 18:15, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Thanks, I got the e-mail!

Quite above and beyond the call of duty. Even if you were right, that you may have "missed a few", it is still extraordinary. Keep up the great work! Baccyak4H (Yak!) 18:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Thanks for the offer Sharon, you said "If I can help you in any possible way..." Can you draft contracts, LLC operating agreements and field some client calls for me? If not, how about picking my daughter up from camp in Wisconsin, trimming the hedges or spending 50 hours with my 15 year old son behind the wheel so he can get his drivers license? If you can't, that's OK, but I am afraid, then, that you won't be able to help me with my problems. You are very kind but I think I am going to have to deal with these things on my own. : ) And thanks for saving me a piece of cake! -- DS1953 talk 19:56, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Happy Belated Birthday, Phaedriel!

And a somewhat belated happy birthday :) - hope you had a good one.

Will (talk) 21:30, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Hey You are Welcome!!! Hey, I was wondering if you could help me with my userpage? That's if your not Busy. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 02:00, 31 July 2007 (UTC) Re: Thank you :) Well, since I'm a teetotaller, the lack of beer left is no problem, I just wanted the cake :). Thanks for it. But yeah, I'm just stressed mentally, it'll hopefully just go away on its own and I won't have to worry about it. Might just be that I'm trying to participate everywhere on here. (I'm learning that Wikipedia's far less stressful if you concentrate on solely the article writing, so I might just do that for a while) But yeah, don't worry about me, I'm sure there are others that need your support more right now. And you're welcome for the birthday wishes. Wizardman 02:21, 31 July 2007 (UTC) Userfy me somethin'? I'm starting a fresh round of cleanup on the WISP article, about to try and bolster its sources et al. Ars Technica and local news sources around Kentucky frequently discuss an apparently notable project called ConnectKentucky that, if fleshed out, would be great to summarize in the WISP article. I never did see it before it was deleted through CsD, but I wonder if there was any salvageable content in it prior to its deletion. Is there any chance I could get you to userfy my some of it at User:Mrzaius/sandbox/ConnectKentucky before I start to reinvent the wheel/rewrite it from scratch? I'll probably end up doing just that, but it'd be nice to have some idea what went before. MrZaiustalk 02:23, 31 July 2007 (UTC) PS: I've been around a while, and have zero financial interest in the project. May not be a GA right off the bat, but I guarantee I won't post jack till it meets WP:ORG and is reasonably well written. Reply Hey, thanks Sharon. Sorry 'bout that. I have my days, that wasn't one of them. Oh, well. Glad to know you had a wonderful birthday! -Yancyfry My RfA Hi, Phaedriel, and thanks for your participation in my RfA. I've withdrawn it, and will be writing up an "analysis" of it, which will soon be available at User:Giggy/RfA/Giggy when it's done. Please come around when you get the chance, and give me feedback on how I can improve. Lots of love, Giggy UCP 04:06, 31 July 2007 (UTC) Not sure if you got the message, but a special thanks also for being such a wonderful Wikipedia. It's always great to have you around :) Giggy UCP 00:07, 1 August 2007 (UTC) Smile! Dfrg.msc has smiled at you, revealing rows, upon rows of gleaming pointed teeth. Wait a minute, that's not Dfrg.msc, it's a dragon! Run! Run for your life! Aaaahhhggg!!! Ahhhhhhaaaa!!!! AAAAGGHHGH!!!!! This confusing and rather contradictory message is probably supposed to promote WikiLove and hopefully has made your day better, or just weirder. Cheers, Dfrg.msc 06:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC). I'm so sorry I missed your Birthday, my dear friend. I'll still offer you my warmest wishes and many happy returns. May you light grace this place for years to come! Kind regards, Nick 10:26, 31 July 2007 (UTC) To clarify I'm not sure what you're saying with this edit but I'm not relating PKtm with a comment at oppose #36. I didn't even see oppose #36. I'm equating PKtm's behavior with that of a troll whose sole purpose on Wikipedia is to attempt to remind the world what an ass he thinks a few people are (including myself). One or two comments here and there is fine but he's done nothing but for the last eight months. Troll, troll, troll... —Wknight94 (talk) 11:08, 31 July 2007 (UTC) Ack! Oh no! That's what I get for staying off-wiki so much. :( I totally missed your birthday, and here I was just thinking about talking to you the other day too! *begs* forgive me? *snf* please? pretty please? with ice cream on top? Anywho, hope you had a good birthday, and everyone at home is doing okay! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 19:31, 31 July 2007 (UTC) Oh wow, I missed the party too! Well, the cake still looks good. I wish a you a productive and successful year of growth. Cheers, TewfikTalk 22:31, 31 July 2007 (UTC) I'm staying I'm not going. I currently feel both unhappy and stupid at the moment. Thanks for your posting and gifts. :) Acalamari 21:53, 31 July 2007 (UTC) Barnstar The Purple Star We've never really crossed paths before, but I was stunned when I saw you didn't have one of these already. With the incredible amount of trolling that you've had to put up with, both on and off-site (and all the more unfair for being directed at one of the nicest Wikipedians!1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16), I hereby award you this purple star. IronGargoyle 22:21, 31 July 2007 (UTC) Happy first day of August! Happy first day of August Phaedriel! File:Calaret Cup cactus.jpg Cheers, Lights 00:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC) My response I have finally sent the E-mail I've wanted to send for some time. :) Acalamari 03:33, 1 August 2007 (UTC) Need a little Assistance Hey Phaedriel, I am having a little trouble with User:NE2 who is changing all the Virginia State Route wikilinks from "Virginia State Route X" to "State Route X (Virginia)", a link which just redirects right back to "Virginia State Route X", so it's a pointless redirect. He continues to cite WP:USSH, which says that the article and links should be "Virginia State Route X" and the title should be "State Route X"...ie: [[Virginia State Route 277|State Route 277]]. I have told him of his error and what WP:USSH says, but he continues to revert these changes back. I have asked for "other articles" where this is done, but he has shown me none. If you could take care of this, I would appericate it. It is really in violation of WP:MOS as well. Thanks and Take Care....NeutralHomer T:C 03:59, 1 August 2007 (UTC) Re: Thank you! :) Thank you for the piece of cake, glad you had a nice birthday with your family. Cheers! umdrums 05:12, 1 August 2007 (UTC) Dear Sharon As you recall, I accidentally addressed you by a different name. So my cat has offered to you, Sharon, the pleasure of scratching his belly to make up for my mistake. Enjoy! -Yancyfry 06:26, 1 August 2007 (UTC) Cheers! For the lovely cake, Sharon, you are too nice! :) Dfrg.msc 07:45, 1 August 2007 (UTC) It's August! I smile upon the coming day, first one, then two eyes beaming. I wander in the morning rays, God's light upon me streaming. I feel the warmth upon my brow, and know that it is time, to dig, and plant, and wonder how, God makes it so sublime. The wonder of those little seeds and the plants they do become, reminders of His thoughts and deeds, and all that he has done. I watch things grow and never cease to praise His might well. The King of Kings, the Prince of Peace in my garden dwells. Happy August, Sharon! --Boricuaeddie 15:32, 1 August 2007 (UTC) Oh gosh... Someone went and had a birthday and never informed me. I apologize that this is coming so late, and for that matter, for not checking July's calendar, but please accept my belated best wishes for what I hope was a mighty fine day. Yours. Bobo. 20:01, 1 August 2007 (UTC) Cake Thanks for my slice! Keep on keeping on. Much love, The Rambling Man 21:09, 1 August 2007 (UTC) Good news! I migrated all the comments from the first category! Just 8 more ridiculously humongous categories to go! Though, as I mentioned above, I haven't been adding links to the comment pages on the main IPNA articles section, because there's a bot-updated list. But the bot's list isn't segmented into categories, so I'm not sure whether I should still be linking to the comments or not? Take care, --Miskwito 00:30, 2 August 2007 (UTC) E-Mail Check your e-mail. Miranda 05:45, 2 August 2007 (UTC) WikiLove Oh wow! A day just for me? Phaedriel, you are the greatest, and I hope the smile on my face passes for a belated birthday gift. Seeing as I probably can't come close to competing with the elaborate prose and poetry already dedicated by others to expounding your kindness, a heartfelt thank you will have to suffice. Thank you - TewfikTalk 06:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC) Ibid. ;-) TewfikTalk 21:03, 2 August 2007 (UTC) Mucking round with pages Hey Sharon - if you look at Baleen whale there are some templates at the botom of the page with the v-d-e tags on them. Gotta run - chaos in the other room...bit busy off keyboard for a couple of days (thanx) :) cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 07:34, 2 August 2007 (UTC) External link violates Wikipedia policies Hey Phaedriel, it's me again. I just discovered a policy on Wikipedia at WP:LINKS#Restrictions on linking which states that without exception external links should not be made to websites which contain unlicensed copyrighted materials. Custerwest's blog custerwest.org includes unlicensed copyrighted materials, which I had discovered some time ago with a particular article (see Talk:Battle of Washita River/Archive 1#Custerwest's use of sources: two examples). On Custerwest's blog site, the article Black Kettle is actually a lengthy (unlicensed) excerpt of the same article by Gregory Michno at Historynet.org (see second page of article) that you deleted a copyvio a couple weeks ago. Per the policy about restrictions on linking, Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. If you know that an external Web site is carrying a work in violation of the creator's copyright, do not link to that copy of the work. Linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on Wikipedia and its editors. I've already removed links to this blogsite from two articles [1] [2], but since Battle of Washita River is still fully protected, I can't removed it from there. Could you remove it? It's the second from the bottom link -- "custerwest Accounts and primary sources on the battle". Thanks. --Yksin 22:02, 2 August 2007 (UTC) P.S. I talked with Daniel; he said RfCs should come before a formal request for mediation or arbitration. I'm busy working on 'em. --Yksin 22:02, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
