Thanks![edit]

Thanks! I was hoping to get it to a good article status, but I’m not sure how to get it to be reviewed. Disco dog23 (talk) 12:03, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Even a cursory glance around the web would have shown you that this article is not a hoax! Paste (talk) 19:12, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello[edit]

Thanks for the requested page deletion on Nelson, (Sarcasm incase your not familiar with it) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Police,Mad,Jack (talkcontribs) 19:32, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Catherine Lip declined speedy[edit]

Hello, Harland. I declined the speedy deletion of this as it asserts notability as a chess champion. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 14:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

RfA comment[edit]

Just as a heads-up, I've reverted your comment here as the RfA was already closed. You may not have noticed as such (my close and your edit were close together), so I'm not accusing you of malice or inappropriate behaviour or anything like that :) Just a courtesy note. Cheers, Daniel 10:38, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

In a further note, this wasn't helpful at all. Please refrain from calling the other editor or his RfA "rubbish" and contribute in a civil manner. --— DarkFalls talk 10:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks[edit]

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which passed nearly unanimously with 46 support, 1 oppose, and 0 neutral. Thanks for supporting me!
