Thanks.

You do not know how much your message meant to me after I read this. Thank you. Fredil Yupi go 00:21, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

:P Friends are more valuable than gold, more valuable than money. Money can't buy you friendship (but friends can get you money :P Just joking.). Have a nice day, you take care too. Fredil Yupi go 00:32, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there

Hi there, Riana, sorry about not answering earlier. I was changing my userpage. Did you get to talk to Will? I'm hesitant to leave any messages on his page right now for reasons which I'm sure you understand. As Moreschi said, he's going to be gone for a few days. You're not going to use my talk page as a chat room are you? Fredil sure has someone who doesn't like him. How's that for an incoherent paragraph? Hope you're doing well! --Kyok o 00:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I noticed in the page history and such that mosf of the people who reverted Fredil's page didn't leave warnings. His page is on my watchlist, so if I see something, I'll be sure to leave warnings. Have fun in class! :| --Kyok o 01:05, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I should have put a smiley emoticon after my chat room question. I hope your classes are going well. 'Bye! --Kyok o 15:23, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Halloween

You're welcome :-) And happy halloween to you too! What kind of traditions do you have in Australia? I know in the UK they celebrate it differently than in North America, does Australia have unique traditions? — Pumpkin Editor, at Large! 03:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Well that's no fun! I saw on the Halloween page that it was observed in Australia with "increasing popularity". It is kind of a pointless holiday now, but so much fun! And the sugar highs that go along with it... — E ditor at Large ^(speak) 20:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Forged comments

I'd like to bring to your attention that User:Jasethesurfy has comments on his user page formatted to appear as though you placed them. Seraphimblade 10:22, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the welcome

Thanks for the kind welcome you left on my talk page. Vanillagorillas 14:44, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have mail

You have a reply waiting for you at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Admin coaching The Transhumanist 18:54, 2 November 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Wikiproject:chemicals

Hi Riana, welcome at the wikiproject chemicals! I hope you have a good time editing pages about chemicals, there is always work to be done (a current example, Wim van Dorst just posted a lot of comments about lead nitrate, which is a FA-candidate). And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me, or one of the other participants in the wikiproject. Again: Welcome! --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 23:53, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfA

Hello Riana. This is it, I think that I'm ready for an RfA. Runcorn created it here, and I've added co-nom sections for you and Mike, who offered to nominate me as well. If you haven't changed your mind about it, please add your co-nomination statement. :-) I shall launch my RfA late Saturday or early Sunday. Till then, feel free to edit the RfA as you please. Thank you. Best regards.--Húsönd 00:24, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. :-) Take your time, it'll be some 48 hours before I launch it. *starting to get slightly nervous* Regards.--Húsönd 00:28, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for all the time you took to provide such a kind, thorough nomination. :-) I'll tell you when I launch my RfA tomorrow. Kindest regards.--Húsönd 17:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking of getting an editor review

...but I want to wait until Will feels better. As I told Springeragh, the sensitive nature of the comments of Will and Fredil on my talk page, as well as my reactions, may be enough to discourage me from seeking review. If I am reviewed, all that would receive more visibility than it already has. Please tell me what you think I should do. Thanks! --Kyok o 01:58, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Riana, I decided to be bold and put myself up for editor review. I'm very curious what you have to say. Thanks for the encouragement! --Kyok o 13:44, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, and there's no rush to review me. You have something like 30 days before the page gets archived. Thanks, --Kyok o 17:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad that you are pleased with the lung transplantation article. I have a vested interest in learning about this stuff, and I hope that other people are helped by the article as well. Of course, Wikipedia should not be relied upon as a source of medical information, as I'm sure you know. --Kyok o 13:35, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For the longest time, the link was merely a redirect to the organ transplant article, which tells you almost nothing about lung transplants, other than that lungs are organs, and they get transplanted. Even if I weren't personally interested in this, the lack of an actual article would be appalling for an encyclopedia that has more than 1 million articles. --Kyok o 13:48, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Admin coaching

Sorry! I have been (and still am) away on vacation - just logged on yesterday for the first time in about 2 weeks... back in a few days, but yes, all yours :) Glen 10:27, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tee hee!

I saw that we both suggested our own names for Ravedave's baby.

I like the new color scheme! And you added me as a Wikifriend! Awww! My first Wikifriend. :) -- Merope 16:16, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, you might get a kick out of this. -- Merope 20:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you...

...for your support of my recent RfA. If you ever need any help from me as an admin or as a coopyeditor, do not be afraid to ask. good luck on your exams. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 19:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar

		The Original Barnstar
		For hardwork and dedication to making Wikipedia a better place, I, Sharkface217, award you this Original Barnstar. Sharkface217 03:41, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats. Keep up the good work. Sharkface217 03:41, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite welcome. Btw, I skimmed through your userpage quickly and noticed you were Australian. You wouldn't happen to know much about the diplomatic/economic/cultural/military relations that Australia holds would other countries, would you? I started the US Australia relations article a while ago and haven't been able to get much help editing it. Sharkface217 03:46, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help needed

Hi, I need your help in fighting Vandals faster. Let me know if you use any tools or somthign that can make our work faster. And how do you usually fight them. codetiger 07:26, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have downloaded Vandal Fighter 3.3 and couldnt guess how to use it. I have a big list scrolling around here. codetiger 07:44, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Highway's RfA

Thank you for your comments to my RfA, some things have been said in good faith and have been taken the wrong, on both sides. I would use the tools quite a bit if I received them, mainly for helping with the Pokémon Collaborative Project, since they are lacking a current active admin to merge histories, protet pages, fix renaming etc. This is quite a large task because of our mass amount of articles, over 600 for sure, which all receive a fairly high level of vandalism, which could be cut down on wih blocking tools, since many admins don't have Pokémon on their watchlists.

My next use for the tools would cutting back on speedy deletion backlogs, something which has gotten worse in just my time here, the length of time is not acceptable. Speedy deletion is supposed to remove harassing or inappropriate content quickly, and I think it's something that needs to be at the top of our back logs lists. Other uses would include DYK updation, and helping to mediate newer users, which isn't a tool use, but admins are supposed to help other users, and I want to help Wikipedia. Thanks for reading, Highway ^{Grammar Enforcer!} 08:59, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I'm trying to get it under control. I've finally cleared all the archived requests, so I'm taking people of the top of the list now. Cheers, Highway ^{Grammar Enforcer!} 08:59, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Admin coaching!

Hello Riana! It's great to hear from you. I'm so glad to know that you've got User:Glen_S as your admin coach. He's a great guy with a lot of experience and a very solid understanding of the way Wikipedia works, and I'm sure you'll enjoy working with him. I look forward to voting for you on RFA in the very near future :-) Hope you're having a great day! David Cannon 11:25, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re:birthday

Thank you so much for the wishes! Here's a piece of my birthday cake, for sharing my special day with me. It even has bees around the rim (my nickname)! — E ditor at Large ^(speak) 13:11, 4 November 2006 (UTC) :-)[reply]

Mmm... my fault, not yours. There are bees around the rim of the plate the cake is on -- my nickname (in person) is "Bee". Kind of a pointless observation since nobody here calls me that, but I was excited at finding it and I guess I thought I'd share :-) — E ditor at Large ^(speak) 23:54, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Riana! Go to bed! Your talk page has been at the top of my watchlist for hours, and I know for a fact it's shortly after 1:00 in Melbourne right now... on MONDAY! Here it's Sunday morning -- it's okay for these Western guys to be up and editing. But not for you! Go sleep!
</mothering> — E ditor at Large ^(speak) 14:09, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

I have now launched my RfA. Once again, thank you for offering to nominate me. I hope that everything goes right. :-) Kindest regards.--Húsönd 19:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mood

It's just the natural semi-withdrawal (even though it doesn't seem the right word) after a big thing. As for tiny feet…it's been coming for a while but I don't think I ever showed it to you. By January or February Phaedriel will have some hard competition! :P Just kidding! — $PЯINGε rαgђ 22:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You really are a dizastah, aren't you? >:P — $PЯINGε rαgђ 02:02, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Admin coaching

Yay! Now I get trained up to be a ninja. :)

On the other hand, though, if Glen does manage to coach you well when he gets back, he'll be showered with praise and glory for the rest of his wikilife. To me, the challenge almost seems worth it... Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 00:42, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks! Take care while you're gone, and thanks for the birthday wishes. I hope you have a great time. :) Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 03:57, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your support regarding that admin's behaviour. It's really appreciated. :) Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 12:55, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh noes! The madness is spreading. :) Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 13:00, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't you hear? Taxis are the spawn of, uh... some mad guy. Hence the Johnny Farnham - it's like a bad cold, only less glamorous. Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 13:10, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe, nicely done. Shouldn't you be studying? I know I should, but I've been post-processing episode four of the podcast all day.. and, uh, picking fights, apparently. On a slightly more serious note, it's gone to RfC, if you're interested. Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 13:25, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You know you don't have to, but thanks for helping. You're the ever-welcome voice of insanity in these matters. :) Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 13:28, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for making you feel icky - understandable, that. Thanks again for your help, even if it meant compromising your purity. :( Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 13:44, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome! Does this mean I can oppose you for reasons of "partial borderline dis-incivility"? Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 13:51, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Who, me? Blinded by my ~~undying hatred~~entirely professional conversation with you? Bah. Perish the thought. Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 13:59, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ack, you're on to me! Maybe I can escape if I don my shining armour and flee... to my, uh, bed. Of safety. Because the 1am-ish-ness of the hour is enhancing your psycho-rays, or something. :) Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 14:16, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your Delightful Userpage

Hello Riana, I have copied your userpage because I have always loved it. I gave you credits and all the good stuff. I hope you don't mind. It can be found Here. Thanks.--Arjun 01:16, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Same here, on my talk page, although i'll be changing the colours once i figure out how! Well done, i think we're in agreement that the page is awesome! CattleGirl ^{talk | e@} 01:23, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks I will state you both but for now.^{ZZZZZZZZ.....} Have a nice day/night.--Arjun 03:19, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added Erich and Editor at Large to both my userpage and talk page, and I've adapted my userpage. Once again, thanks! CattleGirl ^{talk | e@} 04:50, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Small favor

Hey Riana, I was wondering of you could help me out with getting votes for expanding an article I started a while back. My old US Australia relations article is currently being considered for expansion by the Wikipedia:Australian Collaboration of the Fortnight. To vote, go here and scroll to the bottom.

Thanks ~~man~~! Sharkface217 04:57, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks, and I hope you have a fun break! Sharkface217 05:06, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your Wikibreak

File:Statue of Terpsichore.JPG

Aww, we'll miss you! Good luck with your exams, I summoned the muse of inspiration to assist you. :-) Thanks for everything! Kindest regards.--Húsönd 05:12, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, allow me to translate what CrazyRussian wrote on my RfA, as you seemed interested: "I naturally support this candidate. Because he has cockroaches. I support all with cockroaches". Apparently CrazyRussian noticed from my userboxes/category that I own hissing cockroaches as pets. Funny guy eh. :-) --Húsönd 05:40, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage

Thanks for reverting vandalism on my page. Least I could do was remove yours =)
Mkdw ^talk 08:13, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

XND Radio

Thanks. I reverted even farther back. Academic Challenger 08:15, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LOL! I just got one too. If he doesn't do anything else wrong, I guess I won't keep blocking him. Academic Challenger 08:34, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. He went back to his vandalish ways, so I blocked him again. Academic Challenger 08:40, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid it would take too much time to figure out exactly how to do it. I'm not sure which other admins are awake and online right now who are better at those more sophisticated blocks. Academic Challenger 08:44, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was really starting to look like it, but now he's creating accounts. I blocked one. Academic Challenger 08:56, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't even get a barnstar from him, what a guy. Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my page btw. Mkdw ^talk 08:59, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm totally putting this on my userpage hah. Mkdw ^talk 09:06, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That H15-Whatever was the one that I blocked a few minutes ago. Academic Challenger 09:00, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I blocked Hinomaru2, and then another one who actually vandalized my talk page! Academic Challenger 09:17, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is pretty amazing. On the other hand, vandalizing talk pages is really more disruptive than vandalizing user pages because it causes problems with real users communicating with the person being vandalized. Academic Challenger 09:24, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know, I am going to bed now. That vandal we were dealing with made me really tired. Thanks for all your help. Academic Challenger 10:07, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm off to bed too. Thanks for the barnstar and all your help reverting. It was quite a night. Mkdw ^talk 10:22, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please clarify your accusation.

At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mock Duck you assert that I have "behaved inappropriately", in a manner that apparently "shocked" you. Please clarify precisely what you are accusming me of. - Nunh-huh 12:21, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
