AWB Approvals
Hi. I see that you often approve and deny users for AWB on WP:AWB/CP. Nobody has done this and there are requests over 24 hours old. I've already put a notice on WP:AN, but nobody has done anything yet. I just thought if you had the time you might be able to approve/deny these requests. Sorry for sounding impatient, but I'd like to get approved as soon as possible. Thanks in advance. ╦ﺇ₥₥€Ԋ(talk/contribs) 23:47, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. ╦ﺇ₥₥€Ԋ(talk/contribs) 00:19, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi I am having trouble downloading the AWB software. Any hints or solutions? Thanks. Paul210 (talk) 11:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your vote on my RfA
AWB
Hi, I have seen that you declined my request for WP:AWB, probably because of my low editcount in en:WP. Please consider that I was an active contributor to de:WP for more than one year. You can see my wikimatrix here. I am the author of articles like this and this just to name a few. I have more than 3000 edits in de:WP and was never blocked or involved in edit-wars or other disruptive behaviour. You can also see an excerpt of the revert statistic on de:WP here, where I rank above probably 50 sysops. I am not active on de:WP any longer for my own reasons. I was once blocked at de:WP but this was my own decision. Please see here. The reason for blocking reads "requested by user". You can crosscheck this with User:DerHexer who is a sysop on en:WP and de:WP. I would like to ask you to review your decision. Thanks in advance. --Meisterkoch (talk) 22:14, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
help with article
Hi. if you have a chance, could you please come to Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and help us reach some sort of dispute resolution? I noticed that you are the admin who originally edit-protected it. thanks. --Steve, Sm8900 (talk) 14:54, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
AFD
When your relisting AFD discussions, remember to comment it out on the original day, like
<!--{{some afd discussion}}-->
otherwise it shows up twice and can creates a non-existent backlog at WP:AFDO. Thanks. -Royalguard11(T·R!) 18:28, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
With 3 keeps/merge and 4 deletes I would like to ask you to undelete Periphery and relist it for more discussion. I don't want to undelete it myself as I've voted (and I do support deletions of the subarticles). Notably User:Huwmanbeing was in the middle of merging content into that article and rewriting it (see article's history). Thanks. PS. I've just noted that Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) is undergoing a major rewrite and dispute resolution, so the legal grounds for deleting the article as non-notable may be in doubt, too. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 00:28, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. For now I am busy undeleting histories and merging quite a few articles into 'lists of...' and such. Bleh. I prefer to work on undisputably notable content (history), but it's a shame to waste efforts of editors in fiction area... although some things I am not going to defend :D -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 01:08, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- Placebo, you appear to have started to relist the article at AFD, but did not complete it. Pagrashtak 01:21, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Signpost
Hey TPE! I just want to say before I do anything else, thank you. I appreciate your willigness to hand over the reigns to me for the features and admins sections in the signpost, for the last two issues. I know, considering we haven't had much contact, that we don't really know each other, but it demonstrates trust, something I really admire and respect. I had a really good time with the signpost, and even got to do an interview for the WikiProject, I edit most with. Finally, if you ever need to take "time off" again, for whatever reason, I'd love to do it again. Thank you for this opportunity. Best, — Rudget Contributions 19:17, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Offline
I'll be down until this Sunday as after my monitor spontaneously broke, I need to get a new one. (Just in case you are wondering, the computer I am sending this from is just in an internet cafe.) Be back soon. Parent5446(Murder me for my actions) 01:28, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia Weekly episode numbers!?
Hi "The Placebo Effect",
I noticed your recent changes to the Wikipedia:WikipediaWeekly page & your moving the episodes to a new namespace.
FYI, I left a note with Daveydweeb with some questions, but I think he's on an extended hiatus.
I see you renumbered Eps:
- 24 to 25: Ward Cunningham Interview
- 25 to 26: Evan Prodromou interview
- 26 to 27: Day 3 Morning Update
If you see Audio list Episode: "Day 3 Morning Update", it mentions that this is Episode 26. Perhaps that's a mis-numbering!? Anyway that was why I numbered them the way I did.
Also, there seems to be an orphan Episode21 unrelated to the Wikimania Tomorrow! episode 21.
Love to hear your thoughts...
Regards, JohnI (talk) 08:39, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. Sorry for my ignorance on this: Do you have a link to the iTunes descriptions? Do I have to have iTunes installed?! to see them?
- Also wondering if you looked at the extra Ep 21?
- Regards, JohnI (talk) 19:12, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
DRV
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Card shark. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review.
No hard feelings; I just don't agree that a consensus of "keep" can possibly be arrived at, because the "keep" rationales are baseless WP:IKNOWIT stuff. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 02:46, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Features and admins
I misunderstood what you said about your availability today...sorry for stepping on your toes a bit.
As to the changes I made this week, I like splitting the content like I did this week, because it spaces out things -- I've been wondering if there was a way to ensure that you can actually read every line -- with so many wikilinks on consecutive lines, it can get tough to read.
For the de-featured, meanwhile, I personally think it's a good idea for the sake of not becoming merely a list of everything that happens. It could be expanded to other areas of the report, if you like, or kept there -- I think de-featured is a very important section to expand upon, because there's so much information there in every case that can be overlooked -- how long ago it was featured, the specific problems, whether anything was done about it, etc.
I think it'd be great to have a bot compile the information, so long as you try to "de-bot" it -- add things like what I'm trying out with the de-featured articles, find controversial cases and try to explain what happened, etc. Just make sure that it reads like a human wrote it, and contains information that's interesting to most Wikipedians, not just statistics. As far as I'm concerned, you've done a great job so far on the report, and I trust your judgment in that respect. Ral315 (talk) 05:24, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 22:36, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
He's ba-ack. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 23:37, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Sneezing fetishism deletion
I am wondering why you deleted the article on sneezing fetishism. The topic is somewhat sleazy, but it is a real phenomenon that people may be curious about, particularly after a friend confesses to them that he/she is afflicted with this strange attraction that they've probably never heard of before. Is there a precedent for deleting articles that are sexual/erotic in nature? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.86.41.129 (talk) 16:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Question About Edit War
I am currently reviewing DeviantArt as a GAN. Currently, there is a very active ongoing argument about the page name. I was wondering if this argument in any way should affect my review of the article (like whether I should quick fail it or not). The argument can be seen here.

list of podcasts
Thanks for the barnstar. I was rather alarmed by the long list of episodes at Wikipedia:WikipediaWeekly#List so I tried putting the list into a scrolling box. I wonder if it would be best to put the episodes in reverse chronological order. Also, since there are so few transcripts, I'm tempted to fill the blank spaces in the table with images from each episode that does not have a transcript. As test, I did so for the first few episodes. --JWSchmidt (talk) 00:22, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Category:Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes
You are mistaken it is not empty please undelete.YetanotherGenisock (talk) 19:38, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- Your agreement or dissagreement is irrelivant. We are talking about your admin action. As an admin you would after all never use your admin powers in a dispute you were involved in so your opinion on the dispute is an irrelivance.YetanotherGenisock (talk) 19:51, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- Oh dear. I'm aware that CSD changes faster than many news sites but the empty cat only applies when "Empty categories that have been empty for four days". Are you seriously claiming that that cat was empt for 4 days?Genisock2 (talk) 19:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Suggestions,please!
Hi.I am Mark Chung and i created a page called SMK Semera.Can you give me some suggestions so i can improve my article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mark Chung (talk • contribs)
- Tq for helping me. It's very kind of you. Anyway, can you tell me how to create a user page and where you get those BARNSTARS? Also, can i be your friend?Mark Chung (talk) 02:25, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Where do you get those barnstars?Mark Chung (talk) 02:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Human Popsicle3.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Human Popsicle3.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:52, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
