User talk:Banes/Archive 16

User:Major18

Following a recommendation by Pilotguy at WP:ANI, I extended the block to indefinite due to the account being used for basically nothing but a campaign of harrassment combined with blatant vandalism. In retrospect I should have just suggested extending the block to you first, given that there's no urgency considering you only just blocked him for 48 hours, so I apologise for that. If you object to an indefinite block, please discuss here. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 18:11, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Stressful?

Really? I find it's the opposite- if I've got loads of stuff sitting on my talk page it probably means I've got loads to do (as I try not to archive things that still need my attention)! Petros471 18:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah ok. I find it easier to start selecting from the last post I'm archiving, then drag up towards the top, so there's less chance of overshooting, and it's easier to see when I need to stop. You can also use shift+keyboard arrows to select which gives more control. I don't bother doing it by number of topics, I generally archive either when I'm getting page to large warning, at the middle and end of month, when I feel like it, or when I've dealt with everything on the page, whichever one comes first! Petros471 20:14, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Glad I could be of some help :) Userpage scores: no, I didn’t think so... Not unless I sign up as spammer. People will be emailing you the scores, and then you can either announce them or pass the results on to the spammer to do so (the last two rounds I've generally announced them but made sure the spammer is around at the same time). Make sense? Petros471 21:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but decided against it at the time. I also considered making my whole sig just link to talk page and/or add a simple (talk) link after my username but never really got round to it. As you can probably tell I'm a fan of simple signatures that take up a minimum of the edit window/diff screen, though a talk link won't stop that too much. Petros471 22:09, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

It's the thought that counts

It really is, too! Thanks for the thought of awarding me a barnstar, it's just as nice. :D I'm really excited about working with you (and everyone!) on the council too - it should be great. -- Natalya 22:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Sweet dear Daniel

Sweet dear Daniel, it's great to have you around when I need the most. It's amazing all the things we've been through since we first talked so many months ago, isn't it? Yet you have not changed in the least, always faithful, always caring, always sweet. I'll stop before getting to emotional - just thank you, my dear Dan, reading your beautiful words, as always, cheered me a lot.

I'll take the chance to congratulate you for being elected at the Esperanza elections - way to go, hun! I know EA will only benefit from having awesome people like you, Nat or Eric leading it. Hey, with so many friends in there, maybe someday I should move my lazy butt there and join once and for all! ;)

it's great to see you around, as always, hun - I'll make sure to visit you more often, even tho my motives are entirely selfish because I enjoy your company so much. Big, big hugs, Phædriel ♥ tell me - 23:52, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Catching up on my wiki replies

[Catching up on where our conversation left of July 2...] Well, I'm sure no matter what college you choose will be great, and you'll do a marvelous job. I've actually signed up for the SAT in October now, so I'm getting more of an accurate idea of how you felt before you took yours!! It would be great if you could get to fly, but I do understand your parent's worries about joining the Air Force. Best wishes for your plan formulating...--ViolinGirl^♪ 00:37, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

UPA Question

I posted a question regarding the Esperenza User Page Award on the talk page for the contest:

EvocativeIntrigue's nominated user page contained (at the point of nomination) a fair use image. I removed it from his page. So what should I do: a) ask the nominator to re-evaluate the page to see if it's still nomination-worthy, b) give Evocative Intrigue some time to add other picture of he so desires, or c) just evaluate the page sans the image (like how it is now)? -- joturner 23:01, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

What do you think? -- joturner 15:17, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

One year ago on July 17 ...

It's a cake!

Congrats, Daniel! More cake? ;) Cheers, Sango123 01:39, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations on your first Wikibirthday (17 July), and thanks for the countless edits (actually we do have a way to count them :)), anyway, the best way to celebrate it is to go on a holiday ;). Best, feydey 23:11, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Happy First edit day to you sir. A shining beacon of Wikipedia. Blnguyen | rant-line 04:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

merci

Hello Daniel. Congratulations on your election to the Esperanza Advisory Council.Thanks for your support over the last few days. I am feeling better now and have started writing again. I made my first trip to New articles Australia for 53 days today (quite shocking isn't it), so it feels good to be back, and with the creation of Boy Charlton, David Theile and Malcolm Champion, the redlinks on Australian Olympic medalists in Swimming are now gone (after 7 months and 90+ articles). So hopefully I can get it ready for WP:FLC sometime. Many thanks again, Blnguyen | rant-line 08:13, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

More like disgusted

I suppose I have been stressed, but more like disappointed actually. I always defend others from off wiki attacks as much as I can...I don't condone it on wiki either of course. They decided to attack me simply because they can. I suppose I blocked a few trolls at some point, so they use these outside websites to get their revenge. Much like wikipediareview and hivemind, I do not see what purpose ED now serves by having a link here or even an article...mainly because it is hopelessly POV, difficult to accurately reference and a haven and or magnet for trollery. Thanks for the kind words and best wishes!--MONGO 03:59, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

User:Misza13's pile!

Thank you for contributing the impressive the pile of supports gathered on my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 0x0104/0x01/0x00. I'm happy that so many people have put faith in my abilities as an admin and promise to use the tools wisely and do my best not to let you down. If I ever may be of assistance, just leave a note on my talk page. Misza13, the rouge-on-demand admin wishes you happy editing!

Another Barnstar? I must have died and gone to wiki heaven ;)

Thanks Banes for your RAOK Barnstar! Everyone's been so kind, it's very overwellming :) I've never really spoken to you before, which is kind of bad of me, seeing as you're such a great user, but now's my chance.

You're a really great user, kind and an excellent leader. People like you and Natalya, I really look up to, so it means so much to hear that I'm doing good from you two ;)

Thanks for your kind appauds about my comment on the Esperanza talk as well. It's a shame that didn't turn out better :(

Anyway, I better go and put your kind award in my awards section. That page has really grown these last three days.

Thank you so much Banes, hope to speek to you again real soon! Thε Halo ^Θ 11:12, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Admin coaching

I noticed you have volunteered to do some admin coaching. You sound like a good user, so I would be happy to have you as my admin coach, just give me instructions on how to get started, and I would be happy to have you, cheers —Min un ^Spiderman 15:31, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Banes, I've been keeping a track of this conversation (it's been all over ;) and I feel like I should tell you that Minun is the subject of an arbitration case (under Iloveminun (talk · contribs)) and is likely facing a block of up to a year. If Minun is being jumped to the top of the queue, I wonder if his remaining time until the arbitration is finalised is enough to coach him sufficiently, since he has been asking various member of the Pokémon WikiProject to "teach me how to be a good editor." Just want you to utilise your skills as best you can. Cheers, Highway ^{Return to Oz...} 20:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Any i've stopped doing those things. Anyway, i'll be looking forward to the admin coaching —Min un ^Spiderman 10:10, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Banes. I'm fine, although probably avoiding the mess is a good thing. Just been away for a week (due to illness not stress).

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter, Issue 4, August 2006

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter Issue 004 – August 2006
Issue of the Month Despite it being the lead news article of last month, there is still help required in the assessing of articles and the migrating of comments. Lar is willing to provide assistance to those unsure how to do this. Beatles News The Beatles in the news. Suggestions: [1] [2] Project News The Beatles article, the "Flagship" of the Project, is currently under review with regard to its Featured Article status. It is hoped that the review will identify those areas that need some(/lots of) remedial work, and that the Project participants and those editors who are involved in the the FA admin pages to can work together to "save" the status of the article. At the moment there is some discussion as to why it has been listed, and what may be needed to help it retain its FA status. It may well be that some work is going to be required in formulating a plan of action, and then some more in achieving those aims. The FA status is obviously quite important to the Project, and it would be appreciated if participants are able to provide assistance in keeping the article up to standard. The editors would be grateful if those persons receiving this Newsletter could spare some of their time, energy and brainpower in keeping this jewel in our crown in its proper place. Please go to Wikipedia:Featured article review/The Beatles and get involved! Thank you. Notable updates The compilation album The Beatles 1962-1966 has been adopted by PhattyFatt. Four new articles have been listed in the Project Log since 1 July: All You Need is Ears, the George Martin memoir (Stevage) Radha Krsna Temple, the ISKCON headquarters and album (Simon123, Kingboyk) A Cellar Full of Noise, the Brian Epstein autobiography (El Slameron) Wings Over Europe Tour, the Wings concert tour in Europe (Danthemankhan) Two Beatles related articles, The Beatles trivia [deletion debate] and George Smith (John Lennon) [deletion debate], were nominated for deletion. Both were kept on the basis that no consensus was reached. Member News New members to the project since the last issue include Doctorfreedom, Red Alien, dure, PhattyFatt and Caesar.	From the Editors As mentioned in the Project News section, The Beatles article has just been listed for a review of its Featured Article status. Working on this is quite important.
