Have fun here


Hey guy! Listen, we are all human here. I have made mistakes, we all have. If you don’t want to make mistakes, just stop editing. That’s right. Going further, just stop doing your job in real life. I’m not done. Just stop being a friend to someone, after all, you might make a mistake. I’m not done yet- It gets better. Just stop being HUMAN! How dare we as a group of editors expect our admins to be anything other that robotic machines to maintain this project, and protect it based on not just policies, but human judgment.

All the sarcasm and my emotions aside - Yanksox, you have done a great job, your work here is appreciated, and don’t ever let what happens here affect your life outside this project. If this project cannot respect the decency and dignity of people outside this venture, why should we let that affect our lives who are unpaid for our contribs, etc. Do not let this place get you down. It is not worth it. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 05:00, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your name

As a recent immigrant to Boston from New York, I am curious about how you put together your name. I'm not very fanatical about baseball, but the Yankees are anathema to the locals here in Boston. As a student here, you surely have noticed this yourself. I have even half-heartedly spoken a "Go Sawks" once or twice in sports bars or similar situations where it seemed best to blend in with my fellow Bostonians' zeal and show support for the local team, rather than be pilloried, caned, burned at the stake, or worse. Your name is something of a paradox, and while I may be a little extreme in this view, possibly one of the signs of the End Times. Mael-Num 22:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday wishes.

Seeing as you share a birthday with the most wonderful, brilliant, and handsomest guy on the planet, I don't know how you can compete :P. Seriously, before I forget, happy birthday for tommorow. Will (Speak to Me/Breathe)(Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash) 15:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here's to you on your birthday, Yanksox! From the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day!

A bit early, but still :-) --Anna512 (talk) 21:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Birthday!

Daniel Brandt

I do not intend to revert you, however, given your already prior problematic involvement in the ongoing Brandt matter, I must express my strong concerns that you have restored an edit from a banned user and moreover, marked the restoration as minor. JoshuaZ 22:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Marking stuff up as minor is a bad habit for pretty much everything, don't make a fuss over it. Yanksox 22:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are still listed on the Admin coaching request page

Your name is still listed at Requests for an admin coach. If you are no longer looking for a coach, or you currently have one, please remove yourself from that list. Thank you. The Transhumanist   23:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC) [reply]

Concerning your Admin Coaching assignments

Your name is still listed at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Volunteers. The department is heavily backlogged with student's requests for coaches, and we need your help!

Note that the instructions may have changed since the last time you checked, and the department now follows a self-help process...

If you don't currently have a student, or if you believe you can handle another one, please select a student from the request list at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests and contact them. See the instructions on Wikipedia:Admin coaching. Good luck.

If you are no longer available to coach, , please remove yourself from the volunteers list.

Thank you.

Labrador mall

Hey why do you want to delete the Labrador mall? I'm starting to think you Yanks don't like Canadians. It has a Wal-Mart... you're American, you must like Wal-Mart. Why don't you come to Labrador City and visit the mall? I'm sure you'll like it.

I'm sure it's nice like all malls. It's just not "notable." Also, I do not care for Wal-Mart. Yanksox 20:22, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
