:I copy-and-pasted the box from [[Template:Infobox Irish Place#Towns, Villages, ect]] and then filled in the information, using the Ordnance Survey website and [http://www.fallingrain.com/world/EI/4/Carrigadrohid.html this site].

I noticed your comments on the Geni [[WP:RFA|rfa]], and I thought I'd kudos you for a nicely-spoken vote. You've been cropping up more and more around the wiki, and I'll be keeping my eye on you for adminship in the future, if you're interested ;) Plus, you're in the "three-letter-username" club, so you get auto-Kudos!

I left the following comment at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PEI Media]] When you search for the brand name Private Equity International, rather than the company name PEI Media, you get better results. The news references at http://news.google.com/news?q=%22Private+Equity+International%22 seem sufficient. --[[User:Eastmain|Eastmain]] ([[User talk:Eastmain|talk]]) 23:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC) |

==Wellington College Belfast== |
|||
Hello. I recently tried moving the page [[Wellington College, Belfast]] to [[Wellington College Belfast]] (the Belfast is part of the school's name) by cutting and pasting the contents of the first page to the second and by adding a redirect to the first. I now know, thanks to you, that this was not the right thing to do. I should have used the "move tab." I'd like to do that now but I can't see that move tab. I was just wondering if you'd be so kind as to move the article for me. I'm new to editing and your help would be much appreciated.

Hey EJF, thanks for your support on my recently unsuccessful [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Tanthalas39 RfA]. I really appreciate you throwing a couple questions my way, as that was the only way I was going to have a shot at succeeding - by showing that although my experience was only 4 months / 5K edits, I DO know policy. Balloonman is now on board as my co-coach, and I'll make another run in a few months. I hope to have your support on that one. Thanks again - [[User:Tanthalas39|Tanthalas39]] ([[User talk:Tanthalas39|talk]]) 16:01, 21 March 2008 (UTC) |

Indeed, no, you were not one of the editors I was referring to. And by the way, I changed my vote to "neutral" once Martijn acknowledged he had made an ill choice of words with his "boiling under the skin" remark. I'm not looking to be mollycoddled here, and if someone disagrees with what I do I'm always happy to talk it over. What's dispiriting and discouraging, though, is the utter lack of humanity, of compassion shown by some here -- note for instance the individual who twice said I've "unmasked" myself, and three times said my vote there "basically guarantees" any future RfA of mine is bound to fail. So if six months or a year pass and I make no further "controversial" edits, then that one vote - justifiable and soon changed - will outweigh all the good I'm sure I'll do here until then. It sort of lets one down, I think, though I'll try to get over it and move on. [[User:Biruitorul|Biruitorul]] ([[User talk:Biruitorul|talk]]) 16:33, 31 March 2008 (UTC) |

|style="vertical-align: middle; border-top: 1px solid gray;" | Aprils fools day was a blast. Loads of users lightened up to have good old fashion fun. I want to thank you for taking part in editing [[User:Kmweber/Adminship|this page]] in particular and even though I may not know you, embrace the same talk pages, or even edit with you in the near future, I'd like to award you this Barnstar for making Wikipedia a fun environment in which to contribute. Until next year. :) [[User:SynergeticMaggot|SynergeticMaggot]] ([[User talk:SynergeticMaggot|talk]]) 13:32, 2 April 2008 (UTC) |

Thanks for your support in my [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Lawrence Cohen|RFA]], that didn't quite make it and ended at 120/47/13. There was a ton of great advice there, that I'm going to go on. Maybe someday. If not, there are articles to write!

== Naming convention help requested == |
|||
Can you add your opinion on naming styles? [[Talk:Hollywood_blacklist]] needs more opinions about whether a style unique to this page should be used or not used. --[[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 16:24, 18 April 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:I have commented at the talk page. I agree that the naming style used at the article is non-standard, and there has been no case presented to require the invocation of [[WP:IAR|ignore all rules]] to topple naming guidelines on this occasion. I would however urge you to be careful not to be dragged into an edit war, but with a short period of discussion I am confident this can be solved. Regards, [[User:EJF|EJF]] ([[User talk:EJF#top|talk]]) 16:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC) |

|||
On joining the [[User:EJF/Impersonators|users who have been spoofed club]]. :) [[User:Acalamari|Acalamari]] 22:07, 19 April 2008 (UTC) |

:I hope there are membership benefits ;) Unfortunately I fear I will never assemble the same amount of followers [[User:Acalamari/Spoofs|that you have]] :) My spoofer only managed to make one attack page before he was blocked, sadly. Still, with a few more months [[WP:HUGGLE|huggling]] I maybe can expect a few more "friends" to join my list! Regards, [[User:EJF|EJF]] ([[User talk:EJF#top|talk]]) 22:18, 19 April 2008 (UTC) |

Revision as of 16:58, 21 April 2008
Bitch, let's not remove the facts from life, especially fromm the Metrosexual page.
Don't you have other things to be doing besides patrolling the edits of a metrosexual page? You know, that thing that's called a "a life?"
