My userpageHello: I noticed your lovely work on Antandrus's page; he and I inhabit very similar spheres here. My userpage is extremely simple and rather clunky as you can see, suitable for a simple-minded person like myself, but I wonder if I could take you up on your offer to spiff things up a bit...? I'm not an especially frilly type, so I might suggest clean and understated as a general theme. But I will allow you carte blanche, knowing your work will be an improvement (which I admit isn't saying much given what's there now)! There's no hurry. Merci beaucoup! --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 20:02, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. Could you please reprotect this page, as a certain section (Israeli settlements) is bordering on an edit war and some editors refuse to use the talk page before they take unilateral action. I think before you unprotect it again, you should check that a FINAL consensus text has been reached on the talk page. At the moment we have a ping pong match. Cheers Suicup 08:27, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
a sad dayHi, I'm having a hard time seeing balance in the content of this place. For the last few days I've gotten involved in discussions about the endless scribblings about tv show episodes. I fail to see this sort of thing as notable or encyclopaedic. There are other sites for this sort of thing. And today I see Plot of Les Misérables deleted. As I see it this is a sign of a fundamental flaw; anyone can edit but most people have no idea what's important and what's not. I see this site becoming an endless sea of articles about not much with a few important things lost amongst all the dross. Am I wrong? Am I missing something? And see the musical if you possibly can. --Jack Merridew 10:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Dear PhaedrielI hope you are doing well. There's still no sign of Coelacan. :( - Jeeny Talk 19:08, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Robin of the Day I hereby designate Phaedriel as "Wikipedia's Robin of the Day" AdvertinsingBefore anything, Hi my real name is John Manuel and my user name is JohnManuel. My subject: I am not sure, but this link looks like an advertising to me. Can you tell if it were or if it were not, and it is fine to be inserted as an external link in the Machu Picchu article page. here John Manuel-21:56, 13 July 2007 (UTC) PD I will comeback right after this because I have two more issues, I think all are related. I keep forgetting it, thanks so much for semiprotecting the page Machu Picchu.
A random thoughtPhaedriel, as I was moving around Wiki-land tonight, someone gave me a wonderful compliment on my userpage. I was happy to tell her that my new friend Phaedriel had done it for me. It's the "new friend" part that makes me happy. I hope all is well with you. - Philippe | Talk 05:52, 15 July 2007 (UTC) Thanks you very muchFor making it my day. JoshuaZ 20:17, 15 July 2007 (UTC) Eddie's BackHey Phaedriel. Just thought I would tell you. Boricuaeddie is back.

Modernist 04:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC) Welcome BackGlad to see you are back and hope all is well in your little corner of the world. Take Care....NeutralHomer T:C 05:15, 17 July 2007 (UTC) PhaedrielHey, hate to keep buggin' while you're busy, but we're trying really hard (on the talk page) to get this article back to a good NPOV state, but could really use some help, from folks to consense with, and an admin (none have answered our calls) to finalize it all. Anything you could do would be greatly appreciated. Hope things are well! Murderbike 17:29, 17 July 2007 (UTC) Thanks for your offer for informal mediation. I embrace it wholeheartedly. Probably the main other people we need some agreement from are Custerwest (talk · contribs) & HanzoHattori (talk · contribs). Biophys (talk · contribs) and MichaelLinnear (talk · contribs) have also had some interest in this article, though not as vocal lately. (A quarter-Finnish, eh? I'm half, myself.) --Yksin 18:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Reply from my talk page. First Finnish word: Kiitos, i.e., thank you! Yes, what you said helps. I'll hold off on an article RfC & wait for the results of this information mediation proposal -- & hopefully an actual process. Here's the diff for the copyvio (made by Custerwest). It's located in the article at Battle of Washita River#October to November, 1868, the entirety of the third paragraph down (after the block quote), that begins "The Indians believed they had good bargaining chips" and ends "deal directly with General Sheridan." This is a word-for-word quote from Gregory F. Michno's article "Cheyenne Chief Black Kettle" online at Historynet.com, on its second page, about halfway down in the fourth paragraph ("In October 1868...") starting with the third sentence. Custerwest actually sourced the article, but he made no indication it was a direct quote, so it amounts to plagiarism at the very least. As I stated when I discussed this last night on article talk page, the information contained in this plagiarized paragraph represents a significant (though very disputed) view of what happened, & so needs to be represented in the article to meet WP:NPOV -- but plagiarizing is hardly the best way to do it. Kiitos again. --Yksin 19:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Plagiarism/copyvio still there. Is there further info needed before this can be taken care of? Kiitos. --Yksin 19:21, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
for that reasoni am delinking the red tribal entities for that reason, because they are red. i am writing them down, then i am planning on making a simple page for each, then relinking them to show as blue. hope this is ok, but i figured, why have them linked if they go nowhere. best wishes, Ono 18:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi there!Hi Phaedriel. You don't know me, but I've used some of you page design on my new userpage. I gave you credit, so I hope you don't mind me Smiiiile!Zeibura has smiled at you!

Hey dear, I've been okay thanks, been keeping busy on here with some exciting FA pushing... I know I should be enjoying the sunshine, but there's no sunshine here yet! It's just been wet, I'm off to The Glade festival this weekend which is forecast to turn into the Deluge festival, woe betide the english ravers of 07! How have you been? Anyways thanks for the message :) Hope you're okay, - Zeibura (Talk) 20:28, 17 July 2007 (UTC) Yes!!Hi dear Sharon, do you know that Bengali Language Movement is an FA now. I was sick for a couple of days and sorry for informing you late. Please have a look at it and let me know your feeling. Be alright. Bye --Tarif from Bangladesh 20:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC) What are your thoughts....?on Wikipedia:Wikipedian of the day, I know you do the awesome Wikipedian thing so I didn't want it to look like a cheap copy; what are your thoughts?

A questionPhaedriel, may I ask you a technical question, which relates to an article which I am considering commenting on, and to which I am sure you will know the answer. Did the Cheyenne range as far as Montana? --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi again, and some good newsHi again, I hope this find you doing alright Wiki and otherwise. One of my articles just went DYK recently, a first for me (also the first biographical article I've written, though a bit on the short side) and one of my highlights of being on here. So here's a Shirley Temple cocktail (non-alcoholic of course) for you, and some good old German beer for me. Cheers! --BrokenSphere 22:21, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Are you free? The backlog is only 81, but it's climbing in spite of my best efforts. Love. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Your E-mailIn case you were wondering, I will get around to responding to your E-mail soon. Acalamari 23:09, 17 July 2007 (UTC) Assistence: A vandal Who (perhaps) Want to Be at AdminA User has put this is his User page "Check for Chewbacca defense in JohnManuel's comments?" Now, What I have done to deserve this offense? I consider this a Personal attack WP:PA. What this has to do with content or improving the Wikipedia? This is a vendetta, perhaps infantile but nonetheless harmful and It was done in response to my observations on this user's behavior, after he has chosen to harass, an attack me, several times, in many subtle ways, for some unknown reason with the objective to get ahead in his ways, and then accused me or irritate me or both. First Warning asking him to stop in here and for this which I did because this user wrote in spanish the "All Catholics Stink" in spanish" the diff now has been mysteriously deleted: here, but he admitted it after were slightly confronted by his admin ally, apologizing for what he has written but now is somehow deleted from the servers??. He has been blocked in the Spanish version of Wikipedia for his fastidious vandalisms. This user changed templates, victimized and insulted users, spam the whole of it. It is very active, go in to the village pumps, get involve in all sort of behavior. In here he does the same but act under the support of Jersey Devil (talk · contribs), Victor12 (talk · contribs), and Ericbronder (talk · contribs). The list is very long, in the Spanish version, but in here after he has been blocked has shown more caution in his misdeeds but he continues doing this, another sample of his fatidious vadalism, taking time from another user, exposing some sort of racism even in this remarks. And I fear that he as become like a Denial of Service kind of menace. Of course he is not the only one; but with the support offered by some users, we eventually and unknowingly, very soon, will have a vandal admin. He has been advised in how to fabricate his way to this point, it seems here. The story shows that this [vandals somehow become even a sysops] incidentally has happened and has harm many users, contents and the whole project at large. I would like you to tell me what we should do. Also, I have already, let some time to pass for "giving peace a chance", and maintain my sanity and neutrality, I think I did, also I have assumed good faith by willing and dealing; but now I am sure that I need to act against this sort of covert but stolid vandalism beyond all rationalism, i.e., this user act for the sake of it (Jackass morphology). Can you assist me in controlling this effectively? Thanks. Also, and again thanks for semiprotecting the Machu Picchu page. It helped. Sincerely.

:O!Sharon! I'm touched! Thank you so much :) Your kind words have most certainly brightened my day. And this won't be the last orange bar you'll be receiving from me today... ;) Lots of love, Sebi [talk] 01:21, 18 July 2007 (UTC) Proper replyDear SharonDear Sharon, I am so glad to see that you are back on Wikipedia and that your mood meter has finally gone up!

I want a new userpage design because they deleted the template used for my userpage. Can I use your design? Jet123 (talk) 03:47, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank youGo ahead and polish it! Be alright and hope you'll become the queen of the world very soon --Tarif from Bangladesh 11:07, 18 July 2007 (UTC) Blocked templateI've got to say that the template you added to a user's talk page upon having blocked him, here, is sheer genius! I've never seen it before and I find the appearance and the message to be stellar. Oh, and thanks for your help... — Dave (Talk | contribs) 13:04, 18 July 2007 (UTC) What do you thinkAbout Wikipedia:Wikipedian of the day, its all done; categories, templates etc all created, what do you think and would you consider becoming a member?

Perhaps You Can HelpI am unsure how to classify this image, Image:Cat dude.jpeg. It is a standard LOLCat image that I use on my userpage (via a contents page). Ownership of these images is almost always impossible to determine, which is why I originally tagged it as {{Non-free unsure}}. It was tagged for deletion as being in possible violation of Creative Commons. Since it is a common image, I tagged it as such. Still, it was tagged for deletion and retagged {{Non-free unsure}} and I am back to confused. If you know what an LOLCat image would be classified under, template-wise, please let me know, I would greatly appericate it, because I like the little dude and I think that is all of us one time or another after a long night of editing. Thanks and Take Care....NeutralHomer T:C 00:03, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use Image:Kevrichardson.jpgThanks for uploading Image:Kevrichardson.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Remember the dot (talk) 05:15, 19 July 2007 (UTC) For you
Congratulations!
