Hi Jorgenev. I think this essay has merit. You may be interested to know that there is a recently created project at [[WP:RFA2011]] whose goal it is to greatly improve RfA once and for all, rather than simply continue the perennial discussions at [[WT:RfA]]. If you feel strongly about the current state of RfA, you may wish to consider joining the task force. --[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung กุดผึ้ง]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 23:28, 27 August 2011 (UTC) |

For Your Help |
| Hello..could you be kind enough to edit out " By User LeNaj " from the title of my article on teen serial killer. I could not find a "move tab " on my title page that was mentioned when I read some articles on how to edit titles. It would be better to just have the title " Black Gay Teenaged Serial Killer ". I apologize for bothering you, but I couldn't get it edited from the instructions I read. Many thanks and also for the tip on the "cheatsheet " !

A brownie for you!

Hello Jorgenev! I hope you accept this brownie as an amicable greeting from a fellow Wikipedian, SwisterTwister talk 06:59, 25 August 2011 (UTC) |

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
For failing to notice that I did discuss the issue with the user in question prior to nominating his user page for MFD. Ryan Vesey Review me! 20:25, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
- Oh noes! jorgenev 20:29, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
- You are right, you did catch me with that one. jorgenev 20:48, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
false accusation
You claim I changed an article about some fish. I've never heard of the fish before. Improve your detective skills. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.194.117 (talk) 22:25, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
- My detective skills are perfect in this case, your IP address did indeed make this edit where the word 'ass' was inserted. It is possible however that if your IP has recently changed you have inherited someone elses edits. jorgenev 22:33, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

your assistance |

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Warren Harris. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

- You've been around for a little over 5 months so I don't feel terribly comfortable templating you but I want to make sure that you know that you can be blocked for repeatedly removing maintenance templates without addressing them. I assume this was a mistake. We all make mistakes but please try to be more careful in the future. Have a great weekend. OlYellerTalktome 21:07, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
- I had meant to make several changes to that page but there was a problem with my connection when I submitted it so I lost them and that was frustrating so when I went back to remake them I guess I rushed through them again and removed the nocat template but failed to add the categories I as was intending. I have added them again now as I meant too and removed the template. jorgenev 23:06, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

The Civility Barnstar |
| While I have great appreciation for your kind help, I find senior contributors who know from my interactions with you that you are assisting me as I learn the proper formats for Wikipedia, these same people would use unprofessional terms like " horrible " to describe an initial title choice I made, or another who asked me " what does this have to do with anything " and advising me Wikipedia was not intended to be a "news" project, and that if I was unable to comply with proper format by September 2, my article would be deleted have dampened my interest in contributing to Wikipedia.
