Hi Mr. Lefty! Thank you very much for nominating me and taking part in my RfA! Unfortunately, as you've probably already know, it ended with a final result of (62/23/7), and with only 73% support, no consensus was achieved. Nevertheless, I will keep up my work and hopefully succeed in the future. Thank you again! :) |
A smile for you...
[edit]
Michael has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better.

Sprotected the relevant pages. Thx. -- Samir धर्म 03:16, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
You're bang on about ParalelUni I think. I may send an e-mail to his dean of medicine. As an aside, you deserve this multifactorially. Thanks for the hard work -- Samir धर्म 03:38, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
You've got a Thank you card!
[edit]
Dear Lefty, thank you so much for your beautiful words, your kidness and your trust in me. My Request for Adminship is finally over, and the support and appreciation that the community has gifted me will stick in my mind as long as I live. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me, and all I can tell you is, I'll try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, make sure to come here and give me a good yell! :) Seriously, tho, if you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you'll always be welcome to message me, and I promise I'll try my very best.
Dear Lefty, this is the perfect opportunity to finally speak to one another after reading your words for months and months. I am sure that we'll be able to talk often, and trust me, it'd be my pleasure. Both your contributions and, most important your warm way to deal with others made me notice you long, long ago; and being supported by a person I look up to, like you, meant the world to me. I sincerely hope this is but the beginning of a friendship, and such thought fills me with joy. And btw, thank you so much for the kind words regarding my block messages... I didn't think anyone would notice! ;) Please take good care, my dear Lefty, and I hope to talk to you again soon! :) With a big hug, your friend,
RfA thanks

Thanks so much for voting, Mr. Lefty! Thanks so much for your support vote on my request for adminship! With a final vote count of (82/5/0), it succeeded, and I'm now an administrator! I am thrilled with the overwhelming positive support from the community, and sincerely thank you once again for taking your time to voice your opinion. Feel free to contact me with any comments/suggestions in the future!—Mets501 (talk) 03:50, 13 August 2006 (UTC) |
Goldom's RFA thanks
[edit]

Thank you for your support on my RFA, which closed successfully this morning with a result of (53/2/1). I've spent the day trying out the new tools, and trying not to mess things up too badly :). I was quite thrilled with all the support, both from the people I see around every day, as well as many users who I didn't know from before, yet wrote such wonderful things about me. I look forward to helping to serve all of you, and the project. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 04:27, 13 August 2006 (UTC) |
Michael Cole
[edit]You quickly and without sufficient reason took down my addition to Cole's page and even labeled it as a potential "attack". I do not see where the attack could possibly be in my factual addition, however I respect your opinion and mean no disrespect, I do ask that you please revert back my edit or at least allow me to revert it back myself. I thank you for reading this and hope you will reconsider. God Bless.
Thanks
[edit][1] How'd you know it was really me? I thought my writing style might give it away... :) --172.193.206.104 05:06, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- You know, it's funny: None of the IPs I've been using have an contribs whatsoever before I use them, and my IP doesn't change when I load pages. Maybe it's 'cuz I'm using Firefox. Ah... Another reason to love the Fox. ;) --172.193.206.104 05:10, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- I just realized something... That anon who keeps vandalizing my page- this guy-It's him! The one who I've been having problems with! He's logging out and blasting me, as an anon! Even though he thinks I should register! Gah! ...I'm sorry, but can I ask you to help? I'm not supposed to be online now as it is, and I can't get on at all tomorrow. If it's a problem, I'll wait until I get the chance and take care of it myself, but if it's not too much trouble... Could you find some way to get this sorted out? --172.193.206.104 05:17, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- Positive. If you check his talk page history, you'll see he's been reverting my messages. And the IP that's vandalising my page just so happens to be Singapore's IP. He's ignoring me, changing my page (he did it under his username as well), and basically trying to get anons out. I'm 100% sure. --172.193.206.104 05:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. It's a really complicated thing (he and I have 'met), and I'll have to sort out a lot of it myself when I get the time. I'm the only one who noticed quite a few shady things he's been up to, and It'll take me a while to bump around and gather the links I need. Again, thanks! Happy editing! --172.193.206.104 05:24, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
subst v. comment tags
[edit]This was discussed several times before at template talk and elsewhere (don't remember). There's a good reason why those things ought not be substed - can't remember which. Besides, it's the same amount of work to subst it or to add a comment tag to it, both with AWB. Finally, I am not asking admins per se - just my friend Yanksox per prior discussion. Thanks for your concern. - CrazyRussian talk/email 05:38, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Blocked
[edit]I've blocked you indefinitely pending an explanation regarding the operation of additional accounts in violation of WP:SOCK. Note that this is not presently a ban. Mackensen (talk) 01:55, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
{{unblock|HUUUGE misunderstanding. I was on vacation the past week, and I was using a shared computer. I know this is a common excuse, but please, surely you know I would never do something like use sockpuppets. I hope you understand...}} --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 01:57, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- In that case I have no choice but to believe that your account has been compromised, because I can identify two socks which edited within twenty minutes of your account, on the same computer, with overlapping edits. Mackensen (talk) 02:00, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, shoot. I will change my password posthaste and do whatever is necessary. You can easily see that I am not a vandal, though. --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 02:02, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Can I please be unblocked? I've changed my password and everything...no clue what could have happened, though. --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 02:05, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
My concern is the activity of these accounts which remain unexplained. In particular, you seem to have been around all of August 8th, when five accounts vandalized from your computer and were blocked indefinitely. This troubles me. Mackensen (talk) 02:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'm prepared to accept your explanation, as it does fit, to extent, the data I've got in front of me. I'm prepared to unblock pending your response to the email I've just sent. Mackensen (talk) 02:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- I've replied to you. Hopefully that's good enough... --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 02:26, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- I was around August 8th, but I was using the computer off and on. I don't know what exactly it is that these socks did, but I can assure you I am not their puppetmaster. I will remind you that I was using a computer that other people were using, so that could be the problem. I really don't know what else to do.... --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 02:17, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for your prompt response. I'm satisfied that everything is actually in order, and have unblocked you. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Best, and happy editing, Mackensen (talk) 02:27, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

List of big breasted playmates
[edit]Mr.Lefty.
How can I improve this article and bring it up to Wikipedia specs? I'm still rather new here and still learning how to create articles.
Notability RfD
[edit]Why is this a redirect for deletion? I couldn't find the notability article for Wikipedia. The only way I fould it was by typing Notablity (by mistake) after typing Notability about 15 times. I'm trying to put Notablity as a redirect for deletion Valoem talk 23:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Incorrect APA Citation
[edit]I sent this in as a bug, but I was told right away that it was not a bug, rather I should talk to an admin about getting it fixed. robchur@gmail.com forwarded me the link to the admin board, where I reposted it. If you would like to see the bug post, check http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7024 I am not sure where to go from here, as this is my second time that I have been redirected.

Sig Question
[edit]How did you create your sig, I want a sig that says Lego@lost and then in small text in the bottom right corner saying Evil, evil! that will link back to my talk page, without actually changing my preferences, could you give me the 'code', cheers mate -- Lego@lost 19:20, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Re: Sig Question
[edit]I've changed my sig right, but my format of wikipedia is completly different, is this what you have:
- A yellow background
- Fonts in Times New Roman
- and no sidebar?
Its normal wikipedia when I not logged in but when I log in my format changes. Cause my wikipedia format changed when I clicked save for my prefrences, and if your expreriencing this is there any way to get out of it,pleease -- Lego@lost EVIL, EVIL! 03:52, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I need this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_Company) page deleted because it has been changed to this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_%28company%29). I created both and realized that I had incorrectly formatted the URL. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Denneval (talk • contribs)
Speedy
[edit]Honestly, I'm not so sure. I thought that the speedy criteria for reposts only applied for articles deleted through the afd process. According to Wp:csd#General_criteria, it needs to be substantially identical. alphaChimp laudare 04:16, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Terribly Dreadfully Sorry
[edit]Dear Mr. Lefty, I just wanted to apologize personally for the bush edit. I left my friend Fabrizio on my computer while i was making us hot cocoa, and of course, he was compelled to vandalize. It wont happen again. I have called him a jerk and laughed at him since i found out. Please forvige me and him. I didnt mean to cause you any trouble. I also sincerely hope you are not republican, and if you are, i am very sorry if Fab offended you personally.
Again very sorry.

Hi Mr. Lefty!
On Kpjas' RFA, you have voted oppose based on his apparent lack of experience, ("if he plans to do vandal-fighting and deletions, then I'd like him to have more experience in those particular areas. Sorry."). In fact, Kpjas is already an admin on the Polish Wikipedia, and has 37,000 edits there, including 2,600 to WP space over there. You have opposed based on inexperience, but these facts clearly indicate plenty of experience in the required areas. Mr. Lefty, you want an experienced editor for admin. Kpjas is clearly experienced. Without badgering you, I urge you to reconsider your vote in this particular RfA. Happy editing! :) --Firsfron of Ronchester 22:59, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hey Lefty,
- Thanks for your note. I think I will leave a note on the RfA itself somewhere (not sure where just yet). I'm still scratching my head at why this wasn't mentioned in the nomination; you have to dig to find this info. Anyway, I appreciate that you switched your !vote, and appreciate your note on my page. Take care, Firsfron of Ronchester 23:13, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Apparent sockpuppets
[edit]Yes, doing a checkuser on those editors sounds like a good idea, and we might find some other sockpuppets and/or similar user accounts at the same time. Could you also take a look at the various pages involved and see if there are any I've missed in my clean-up efforts? -- The Anome 00:56, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank You!

Sock accusations
[edit]On Subash bose's ANI [2] I noticed some Muslim users have accused me of being a sock of Subhash bose (aka Netaji). These users are merely trying to hit two birds with one stone: They are trying to get two Hindus banned with "incriminating evidence". Geek1975 has vandalized pages relating to a terror attack orchestrated by Muslims, and Netscott vandalized my comments on his userpage. The reason I am more active now is because I was on wikibreak for three days. I take Geek's false accusations as personal attacks and have warned him.
Thanks for seeing the truth of the matter and not jumping to false conclusions.Bakaman Bakatalk 17:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Userpage 'Mistake'

[edit]Just added you to List of non-admins with high edit counts, as your previous nom didn't show any serious problems your still a potential admin. So maybe in a few months someone will volunteer to nominate you. Of course, feel free to remove your name/rv me.--Andeh 23:15, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- You'll want to wait a good 2 months at least before trying again, or this will be a reason to oppose.--Andeh 23:22, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- Up to you, I just think it'd be a bit risky.--Andeh 23:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
adding request to change my username
[edit]Mr. Lefty - thanks for the suggestion about changing my username. I'd not thought of that! But when I go to change it where do I actually type in the request? I see everyone else listed and "EDIT" next to their names. Do I click EDIT and add mine below? Thanks! Jamie@scgonline.net 01:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)jamie@scgonline.net
The infobox
[edit]I didn't know about the previous redirect thing. What about a disambiguation page? Or a stub that that reads "This article is about infoboxes, for information regarding wikipedia infoboxes go to:" I just ran a google search, and the first result for infobox is the wikipedia infobox. I have my doubts such a stub would ever grow into a full article. Whichever way it's done, infobox should provide some link to Wikipedia:infobox. This has been the case with practically all wikipedia-related terms, and keeping that rule consistent would make it easier to navigate it. -NorsemanII 03:08, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Infoboxes using MediaWiki
[edit]Hi Mr. Lefty, I'm trying to get a simple Infobox to work on an external MediaWiki site that I'm setting up. For some reason, even the simplest code that works in Wikipedia does not work on my site. Do you think it has anything to do with the "class="infobox"" that appears in the top of the infobox? Do I need to add something to one of my CSS? Here is a link to the broken infobox: https://heritage.web.lehigh.edu/wiki_old/index.php/James_Ward_Packard
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I hope to be able to serve Wikipedia more effectively with my new tools and that we can continue to build our free encyclopedia, for knowledge is power, but only wisdom is liberty.

Long-Overdue RfA Thanks from Alphachimp

Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which was successful with a an overwhelmingly flattering and deeply humbling total of 138/2/2 (putting me #10 on the RfA WP:100). I guess infinite monkey theorem has been officially proven. Chimps really can get somewhere on Wikipedia.
With new buttons come great responsibility, and I'll try my best to live up to your expectations. If you need assistance with something, don't hesitate to swing by my talk page or email me (trust me, I do respond :)). The same goes for any complaints or comments in regard to my administrative actions. Remember, I'm here for you.
