Hey

Hey Daniel. Long time no speak. I've been pretty much inactive from around here recently what with Uni and business commitments (thanks to WP I got published in a National mag!! woot). Anyway I just dropped in to do some research and noticed you were running for Arbcom.

So I thought I drop by to say good luck and that I hope you get voted in! I'll try and remember to come back and vote for you at the appropriate time!

Soon I might even get back to editing - doubt it though... too much stress! :D --Errant Tmorton166^(Talk) 02:36, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good to see you around again - I was wondering where you had got to :) Thanks for the best wishes, and congrats about being published in a national magazine. I hope you overcome the stress and return to editing - Wikipedia needs you. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 09:58, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CCMFC page

Cheers for fixing up that reference with the CCMFC article. I was restructuring the whole sentence (it was very POV, how it was), but it's good to see interest in the article. I nominated it for Football Collaboration of the Week a little while ago, and it looks like it will make it - I reckon that it could be the first FA for the Wikiproject. Anyways, thanks, and keep up the good work, Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 05:46, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

no probs on the ref fix - i keep an eye on it, though i have to say i spent a lot of the limited time i spent on here lately chasing a sockpuppeteer round the place. that problem's fixed, but haven't got around to doing up more content round the place...

For your 10,000 contributons to Wikipedia

I, Michael Billington, award Daniel Bryant the you are a bloody legend award for now having made over 10,000 contributions to the project. In your months here at Wikipedia, you have:

Written a featured list.
Written two good articles.
Been mistaken for Daniel Brandt several times. (even by me)
Clerked CheckUser a bunch.
Removed ~~crap~~ nonsense from WP:AN/I regularly.
Written articles, that's right articles for this encyclopædia.
Made some pretty awesome wiki tables.
Been indefinitely blocked. (the least indefinite block of that sort I've ever seen)
Reverted vandalism, even had sockpuppets named after you.

Ok, enough praise for now, back to work. You get another award at 100,000 edits, so hop to it!

Thanks so much! Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 10:00, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Declining unblocks

Hi Daniel!

Yeah, good point ("normal users in good standing") that I was groping for - and missed by about " " much.. but I think the point still stands - if you are doing any job that doesn't require admin tools, then it isn't an admin job. If an unblock was declined in bad faith, then that would be bad, if not downright disruptive... but that applies to admins as much (if not more) as it does to "ordinary" users.

Our next generation of admins should be doing these types of jobs, IMHO. Although I could easily be wrong. I often am :o) ➨ ЯEDVERS 21:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Fair point, especially on the admin accoutability. There's something similar at WP:DELPRO#Non-administrators closing discussions, which may make interesting reading :) Cheers, Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 21:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Like the signature, it's all thanks to you. So thanks!!! J a m o 23:03, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problems :) Cheers, Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 09:59, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thanks

Thank you for the extra feathers on my wings!

Thank you so much, Daniel.Bryant, for your support in my RfA, which passed on November 11, 2006, with a final tally of 82/0/2. I am humbled by the kind support of so many fellow Wikipedians, and I vow to continue to work and improve with the help of these new tools. Should you have any request, do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Húsönd 21:13, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Meanwhile, your RfA gets more and more overdue... :-) Kindest regards.--Húsönd 21:13, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the congrats. Regards.--Húsönd 00:18, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 05:53, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not like I've been stalking you or anything, but...

I just came to your talkpage and noticed you've hit the big 10K - congratulations! For all your hard work, I present you this shrub(bery). Good luck with the arbcom elections, too! riana_dzasta 04:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers! I've always wanted to be honoured like the Knights Who 'Till Recently Said Ni :) Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 04:54, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

By the way Daniel (and I swear the previous message wasn't just buttering you up for this), if you have time, would you mind reviewing me again? It's been a while since the last one, and some people have been suggesting I should run for adminship, so I'd like some opinions from people before I jump headlong into anything. Take your time, it's not a big deal. Thanks again! riana_dzasta 05:18, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have a look. First, I have to review your contribs :) Cheers, Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 05:21, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ta very much! riana_dzasta 05:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done :) Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 05:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again, Daniel, you're a champion :) I've responded to your concerns on the editor review, if you are interested. And eek, I should have moved the image myself. Thanks again for the input, it's much appreciated! riana_dzasta 05:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problems :) Cheers, Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 05:52, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Australian collaboration of the fortnight

Hi. You voted for United States-Australia relations for WP:ACOTF. It has been selected, so please help to improve the article in any way you can. Thanks. --Scott Davis ^Talk 13:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 05:51, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Football AID 12 November – 19 November

Thank you for participating in the Football AID vote this week.

Central Coast Mariners FC has been selected as this week's collaboration. Please do help in working to improve it.

(Untitled)

Hi Daniel, Re the Just What Is It that Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing? site, it keeps getting stubbed by people who nothing about the subject matter so rather than spend countless hours trying to get the truth out to the public it seems better for us to hold off and wait until the art world catches up and responds in due course.ottex. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ottex (talk • contribs)

I agree with them. Please source your additions, per WP:V and WP:RS. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 05:50, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Altered Comment

By the way, I noticed you altered your comment on Walton monarchist89's recently-closed RfA, citing that it appeared someone had changed your comment. However, that was your original comment. -- tariqabjotu 11:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm...that's weird. I would have sworn I had said something along the lines of "consider this RfA" as opposed to "support this RfA". However, the diffs don't lie, so I guess I mustn't have... Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 05:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage help!

Hey, I was planning to have something on my userpage on Wikipedia and the Rare Witch Wiki Project similar to your header. Could you give me the source code or tell me how to make something like it. Thanks! --Andre^(Talk) 19:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Daniel.Bryant/Sandbox/8 :) Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 21:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Banning User:NisarKand

After continued racist remarks as well as vandalism (his edits cannot be considered "good faith" anymore), I believe that banning NisarKand, especially after his most recent racist attacks (calling an entire ethnic group "rats" as well as openly taking pride in the actions of the Taliban; User:Golbez reverted his latest racist comment [1]), would be the best solution. In fact, this is not only my opinion, but also that of User:Sikandarji, an academic at Oxford University who is a specialist in the fields that have been under POVish attack by NisarKand.

What are the steps to such an action? And what are your views in this regard? Tājik 22:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest WP:PAIN for the racist remarks in the short-term, and WP:RFC for the general disruptive behaviour. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 05:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I mentioned you in an RfC

Hey there. I have mentioned you in an RfC that I have filed. Could you possibly read over it and take a look? Thanks! :: Colin Keigher (Talk) 22:29, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure whether this is one that I want to get fully involved in. I'll monitor the situation, and add my input if needed. Watchlisted for now. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 05:47, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shiny new buttons

Two weeks ago I couldn't even spell administratur and now I are one (in no small part thanks to your support). Now that I checked out those new buttons I realize that I can unleash mutant monsters on unsuspecting articles or summon batteries of laser guns in their defense. The move button has now acquired special powers, and there's even a feature to roll back time. With such awesome new powers at my fingertips I will try to tread lightly to avoid causing irreversible damage and getting into any wheel wars. Thanks again and let me know whenever I can be of use.

Missed one

Thanks. -Will Beback 08:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problems. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 09:05, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks also for the "SockpuppetCheckuser" adjustment. I had it on my to-do list to go back and change those, but I see you've handled it. Cheers, -Will Beback 10:24, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto my last comment :) Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 10:30, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Solicitation

Please do not solicit other users' opinion on an Articles for Deletion debate, as you did here.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] It is considered canvassing, and you can be blocked for it. As such, the AfD debate in question may be voided because of these actions. Please do not do it again - repeat attempts at creating a false sense of concensus may end up with you being blocked. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 22:51, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're misinterpreting: all of these people were voters on the previous AFD in question and the AFD I was directing them to was clearly created in bad faith. I also noted it on WP:ANI to request Speedy Keep as you no doubt noticed. RunedChozo 22:55, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's still solicitation, as I noticed you didn't notify everyone, rather only those who agreed with your opinion. So no, I'm not misinterpreting. Notify everyone, or notify no-one at all. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 22:58, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heh

Since you were amused by the shrubbery, you might find this amusing as well. DS 00:52, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

James Hol

Daniel, I noticed this user was accusing me of rubbish, that I don't understand. Could you please check this out. James Hol has also vandalized my user page, check it out Kelvin Williams.

Could you please fix this probalem for me Kelvin Williams 01:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinitely blocked, especially after this.[11] Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 04:37, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it again and guess what? Dfrg.msc adopted me. Yay! Drizzt J a m o 03:16, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good for you :) Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 05:53, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Thanks for the note. However, I'm not very active user here, so I'm not gonna waste my time going through all the formal procedures and so on. I suppose vandalism is a thing which doesn't require lots of formalities to fight with. My user page is a subject to vandalism on purpose, that's clear, you may just look to the history. User vandalizing it has dynamic IP adress or maybe uses proxy, so blocking is not a proper solution. All I ask is to lock that page. Otherwise I will be forced to delete my account (don't even know if that's possible :) ). Please don't get me wrong and thanks again :) --Windom 07:55, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lock which page? If it's your userpage, I'll get someone to do it for you. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 07:56, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thank you very much, Daniel :) --Windom 08:32, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
