Re: Panic! at the Disco
I'm really sorry if my comment on the Panic! at the Disco talk page came across a tad mean. I was quite loaded because of the recent vandalism/edit wars on the article and I guess I took it out on the wrong person. I apologise. What I meant with the "editing other users' comments" was just that you changed the depths of several comments, which, even though it might make it easier to read, is generally not recommended. You're right that I just pointed that out because I felt attacked, and I shouldn't have. --HarryCane 13:33, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Test
Helpme tag
Hi! I noticed that you placed a {{helpme}} tag on the article Eugène Terre'Blanche. The tag is supposed to go on your talk page; did you need assistance with that article? -- Merope 16:37, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- That's not really how the helpme tag is supposed to work. If you were concerned about the edits or the accuracy of the article, you can use one of the dispute templates to call attention to it. However, you were correct in thinking the article to be kind of fishy--it had been vandalized over several edits. I've now reverted it. -- Merope 16:53, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- I am not an administrator; I just regularly check for Wikipedians who need help. Information about becoming an administrator can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. Good luck! -- Merope 16:57, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
RfA
I have removed your nomination from the RfA page because:
- it had no chance of succeeding WP:SNOW
- you gave no reasons for wanting admin tools
- there was plenty of associated bile and incivility, including a number of your edits.

Your racism related comments on your RFA
With regards to your comments on Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Adriaan_1: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. "Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Wikipedia. Comment on content, not on the contributor. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users." Please keep this in mind while editing. Thanks. TigerShark 18:43, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your comment on my nomination page. You are quite rude, however, but I guess it's custom where you live. --Scotteh 18:17, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Flabbergasted? You shouldn't be. --Scotteh 18:36, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
None of us are racist. None of us would have been voted in as administrators in the first place if we were even the slightly bit racist. The major problem is that you lack experience with Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Take a look at Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Standards, and name a single person who would vote for you based on your current edit count. If you didn't know, there's only 855 administrators on Wikipedia right now because:
Administrators are held to high standards of conduct, as they are often perceived as the "official face" of Wikipedia. Administrators must be courteous and must exercise good judgment and patience in dealing with others. Nominees must have been on Wikipedia long enough for people to see whether they have these qualities. (Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#About_RfA)
You don't need to be an administrator if all you're doing is writing articles. Administrators are the people who do all the dirty work cleaning up after vandals and spammers and resolving disputes impartially. I highly suggest you withdraw your RFA before you damage your reputation even further. -- Netsnipe ► 18:54, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Blocked
You have been temporarily blocked from editing for vandalism of Wikipedia. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may do so after the block expires. The Land 18:58, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- You're pathetic. Do you really think I'm going to look up to you as an admin now that you've figured out where the block button is? Ugh, you're disgusting. --Scotteh 19:05, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
