Hi there! Just a note to say "thanks very much" for your support on my recent, successful RfA. I appreciate your support, and will be doing my best to use the tools carefully and for the betterment of the encyclopedia. Tony Fox (arf!) 06:19, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome! Acalamari 23:28, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm...

...I can't call you "bella" anymore? :( *Cremepuff222* 00:42, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Heh, well, that was a reference to my alternate account, Bellatrix Kerrigan. I decided I would be better off leaving that reference out and stick with just the mention of the account. :) Acalamari 02:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Man, you're good

Thanks for protecting July 18. You are all over my RPPs! Keep up the good work! J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 23:40, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome, and thanks for the compliment! Whenever I've seen your name at RFPP, I've seen an accurate report, so I am happy to answer your requests. :) For the record, I decided on a month's worth of semi-protection on July 18 rather than indefinite, but, as I said on RFPP, we'll see how it goes after the month. :) Acalamari 23:45, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey, no problem, and thanks! I don't make a ton of reports, but I usually check the history for the past 100 or 250 edits for reverts. And temporary is fine, I just wanted to make indef an option. Cheers! J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 00:24, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Glad you're pleased with the decision. :) Acalamari 02:38, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which closed successfully with 44 support, 4 oppose, and 3 neutral. I will work hard to improve the encyclopedia with my new editing tools (and don't worry, I'll be careful).

Thanks for the Christmas and New Year greetings! I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year as well! :) Acalamari 18:00, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Impersonator

Hi Acalamari.

Somebody has impersonated your account on af.wikipedia. Regards and Merry Christmas. —DerHexer (Talk) 23:39, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me. :) I still need have that impersonator on the Italian Wikipedia sorted out so I can take over that account. Hope you had a good Christmas. Regards. Acalamari 18:05, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Great success! Thank you for supporting my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 53-3-2. Special thanks goes to Shalom for both the suggestion and the nomination. I'm honored by the trust that the community has shown in me, and will do my very best as an administrator. Thanks again! faithless (speak) 08:49, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

You have an impersonator

In another alphabet at least. User:Alpha charlie alpha lima alpha mike alpha romeo india spells your username in NATO phonetic alphabet. bibliomaniac15 23:46, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Haha, I was coming to tell you the same thing. Found it amusing. Also, archive your talk page!! Haha. Lara❤Love 01:37, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, responded here and here. :) Acalamari 18:19, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Methinks a hard block is needed to stop this disruption. bibliomaniac15 18:25, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Already been done several times unfortunately. The user either uses a different IP, or just waits until the account creation block and the autoblock wear off. Acalamari 18:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Well. Now I get the honor of having my username spelled out phonetically. bibliomaniac15 19:06, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Looks like it! :) Acalamari 19:08, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

An Administrator is I!

KoL images are copyrighted, so I'll use this PD one instead.

Adventurer! The Council has identified a number of strange occurrences (such as "vandals" and "articles for deletion") in the surrounding wilderness. The Council would check it out, but they have important Councily-type things. But never fear: brave adventurers known as "sysops" roam the lands!

Thank you for your support in my quest to become a sysop. Although I am now wielding the keys to my very own Bitchin' Meatcar, I promise to uphold the laws of the land, martini in hand, in a way that would make Saint Sneaky Pete proud. I will do my best to be a Jack of Several Trades (although I may be a Master of Nuns). I promise to Heart Canadia. And I will make it my goal to Make War, Not ... er, Wait, Never Mind.

I am glad to serve my guild, the League of Wikipedians. If I can be of any assistance, or you have any questions, suggestions, or criticisms in the future, please let me know. And if you are at a loss for what any of the above actually means, see this website.

Thanks again.

You're welcome, Riana! Yes, I had a great 2007. :) Thanks again. Acalamari 04:37, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Happy New Year. I was wholly confident in nominating you, you achieved a very large approval vote, and my confidence and that of the community has been fully justified. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 12:29, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you Acalamari! :-) I wish you all the best in your future endeavours and hope all your wishes for this new year come true! :-) Scarian^{Call me Pat} 12:49, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

2008 is already two days old, and I still haven't gotten new year wishes to more than a couple of people. As the heading says, HNY :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:20, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Same to you! --Agüeybaná 21:43, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, your message was a bright spot in between the sometimes less-than-civil "you deleted my article" messages. Thank you! :) Keilana^talk_(recall) 22:51, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome! Glad it was appreciated. Acalamari 22:53, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Acalamari :) Happy new year to you too. Hope 08's a good one! CattleGirl ^talk 04:00, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome, and thank you for the return wishes! :) Acalamari 04:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

You should check out this short and funny video I just uploaded, and I am dedicating it to you, Acalamari. NHRHS2010 Happy Holidays 02:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Even though you are trying to avoid YouTube, did you see the video anyways or not? NHRHS2010 talk 00:16, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I did get to see it, that's why I was saying thanks. :) Acalamari 00:20, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I asked because you said that you try to avoid YouTube. So you heard what I said in the video, right? NHRHS2010 talk 00:22, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I did hear the part about ordering the calamari, and about me. Acalamari 00:27, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Blocked user

Uh oh, that doesn't look good.   jj137 ^♠ 01:06, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I know; I have blocked the socks too. Acalamari 01:08, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I went to block them and saw you already did that. :)   jj137 ^♠ 01:10, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Heh, well, it's all sorted out now. I just wanted to let you know about my change of your block, and since you seem to be okay with that decision, everything is fine. :) Thanks again. Acalamari 01:12, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Check yours — Dihydrogen Monoxide 04:11, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry if I came across as incivil in the email...I really respect you, you rock, you know that. But there are so many things I'd rather be doing than seeing one of my best wikifriends go through this. — Dihydrogen Monoxide 04:21, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I've responded, and don't worry. :) Acalamari 04:22, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:New admin school/Protecting

Hey! Just seen your post to Wikipedia talk:New admin school/Protecting - I was wondering if you could write a section on salting pages given that we can now do it by just clicking protect? I'd suggest using Wikipedia:New admin school/Protecting/Salt as an example - it's probably best keeping to the same format as we have to protecting articles. Anyway, it'd be good if you could do it :-) - thanks. Ryan Postlethwaite 04:35, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I'd be happy to write it. :) That was one of the reasons I mentioned it on the talk page. Just give me a day or two, and I'll have the page ready. :) Acalamari 04:37, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Bril! I knew I could count on you ;-) Ryan Postlethwaite 04:42, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Self-nom over at WT:RFA

Could you have a look at the self-nom section (somewhere near the bottom)? It'd be great for a second opinion, and seeing as you're the most active there, I thought I'd ask you. Regards, Rudget. 19:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm writing something now. :) Thanks. Acalamari 19:49, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

*shakes hand*. Cool. Rudget. 19:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Done. We'll see what happens. Acalamari 20:01, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Happy New Year, moves

Hi Acalamari, I made a mistake, and my talk page doesn't need to be archived yet (it's not so big). Would you mind reprotecting it (if you need to know why, ask me or Alison privately)? Thanks. Thanks also for your greeting! I hope you have a happy new year too! --Kyoko 03:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Your talk page has been re-protected from moves. :) I think I know why it has to be protected that way, don't worry. Anyway, yes, I had a good New Year, and I hope your birthday and New Year were good too. Best wishes. Acalamari 03:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
