Thank you for closing the AfD on John Leach (writer) (who is me) and for your comments attached. At the end of the day it seems to me to be POV about what is notable and what is not: I think the special pages are a total mess of contradictions and I don't see how anyone can possibly work out what message is being sent to AfD, if any. In some ways, I'm glad this AfD decision was keep because it puts certain people in their place; in other ways, I wish you had just got rid of that article for me. I hope that the "keep" decision will be enough to keep the life on other planets at bay in future. Thanks again and best wishes for 2008. -- BlackJack | talk page 19:42, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your support, my
request for adminship passed 60/0/0 on Monday!
I want to thank Mrs.EasterBunny and Royalbroil for nominating me, those who updated the RfA tally, and everyone for their support and many kind words. To paraphrase a president ... I wish my mum and dad could see the comments made. My dad would be so proud to see the comments ... and my mum would have believed them". I will do my best to use the new tools carefully and responsibly (and you may be surprised to find that I have not deleted all of the pages by accident..... yet).

I removed the fight from his record because of an earlier consensus a bunch of us reached about upcoming/prospective stuff in record tables. I could have sworn it was on WT:MMA, but I can't seem to find it. I think the discussion was in regards to someone posting a "TBA" in the "Current Champions" section on Ultimate Fighting Championship for an interim title. As I recall, the consensus was that future stuff was okay to mention in prose, but it shouldn't go into an actual table of records or events until it's actually happened.
I could be wrong, but that was my memory of it. Gromlakh ( talk) 20:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi, could you explain the logic behind your edit here please? I understand the precise nature of parkour is variable depended on who you ask, however WikiProject Sports claims that Parkour is part of their project. There are also plenty of sources that define parkour as a sport. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. There doesn’t seem to be one firm definition of Parkour at the moment and since it is often defined as a sport (or extreme sport by critics) I believe the category is entirely appropriate and will help people find the page.

I completly understand why you voted neutral and I'm quite happy that you did not vote oppose. And now that I am a sysop, I will work hard to improve the encyclopedia with my new editing tools.

Hi
As you mentioned in Talk:Mexico I am quite new on Wikipedia. However I am learning. I would expect that some users act as if they were the owner of the article. What should I do? to forward back and let the article the way it is? I tried to insert a section about crime in the Mexico article but the editors there didn't allow me to do so. Curiouslly, on the article about Brazil, there is already a section about crime and guess what? when I tried to removed it, to resemble more to other pages of Latin American countries, I was barred. I don't understand what consensus we are using here, but what I see is that users are claiming the ownership of the articles and impending everyone else to edit the pages just because they think the current version is the right one.

Thank you so much for not deleting T. R. Mahalingam (flautist). The editor who placed the speedy-delete tag on this page has been habitually assuming bad faith and already has a ANI pending against him. In response, he has been going around many pages I've created or made contributions to, with speedy-delete tags. Anyway, I really do appreciate it, and so does the project! Ncmvocalist ( talk) 15:45, 28 February 2008 (UTC) - WikiProject India Assessment Departmnet.
Thanks for your message - I've restored the article to have a quick look, but there is no content in it which isn't a direct copyviolation of the website quoted in the speedy tag - my apologies if I failed to change the reason for deletion to G12 (copyvio), but I have no re-deleted the article. I suspect there's potentially sufficient notability for it to survive, but can't allow the content to remain up whilst someone fixes the copyvio issue, as it's so fundamental. Perhaps starting from scratch might be the best move for this article? Thanks! GB T/ C 09:34, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Why have you speedily deleted " Yeah!"'s alternate cover? Tons and tons of single articles contain alternate single covers. Besides, if there was anything wrong with adding alternate covers to articles, why is there an {{ Extra album cover 2}} template? This template is more than a proof that there's absolutely nothing wrong with adding extra covers, therefore I'm going to reupload the image. Funk Junkie ( talk) 17:48, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Your reason for deletion of this image was invalid. It is not a bit-for-bit copy of Image:Prinzessin Victoria Alice Elisabeth Julie Marie von Battenberg, 1907.jpg. The latter is quite obviously copied from Majesty magazine, as can be seen from both text in the lower left corner, and the text bleeding through the image from the other side of the magazine page. My image is a much cleaner version. DrKiernan ( talk) 07:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Normally I do use the no source and no license tags, but this user was advertising for his company with images from the company site. I tagged a lot of them as no source, but the "advertisement looking ones" I tagged as copy vio. Undeath ( talk) 12:44, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Boo. Your deletion of the Damon Dogg page shows poor judgment. I was reading the arguments for deletion when I doubled back and found that the page was gone. The arguments in favor of keeping the page were compelling. A quick glance at the user profile of the original flagger confirmed my suspicion: he targets gay porn actor profiles for removal. I know that the information in the deleted page was accurate and look forward to writing a well-cited replacement page with "buttloads" more detail than the original. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.219.154.154 ( talk) 08:58, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I was trying to figure out how to fix the stingray page but you did everything I didn't know how to do almost exactly when I did. Good job and good work. thank you.
I had to leave work on the Aedas page as I had to go out. I have come back to find it deleted already so will have to start all over again. I am well aware it looked like blatent advertising because it was lifted from an Aedas brochure. I have several links to buildings in Wikipedia that were designed by Aedas along with innovative work in building modelling which is also referred to in Wikipedia. This is my first attempt at doing this so my apologies if it has offended you. Hopefully my next attempt will meet with your approval.

My apoligies, after I warned them the final time I reported the IP but it took a while for the block to be placed (The IP was making four edits a minute at one point). I was actually in the middle of filing for page protection for those two pages but along came multiple sockpuppets attacking my talkpage the very same time the IP was putting clearly incorrect information in the article and then I was accidentally blocked(explained two sections above your comment on my talkpage I think) then was unblocked but my IP remained autoblocked so I never got the chance to complete filing the page protection. But isn't reverting BLP violations an exception to 3RR but either way, I'll be faster filing the page protection in future. AngelOfSadness talk 12:44, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

can you not threaten me please
'Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, such as Liles, you will be blocked from editing. Carlosguitar (Yes Executor?) 00:28, 13 April 2008 (UTC)'
i find it really funny, plus who are you to say that liles is not appropriate.
I was away for about a week. I come back on the weekend to find out I've been blocked for a "personal attack". The thing is I wasn't too surprised to find out the administrator who blocked me was you. Ever since you turned into an administrator I had a feeling one day this would come back to bite me. We have a history of personal problems, and something tells me that is the main motivation behind this block. I think considering the fact you obviously don't like me, if you felt offended by a comment I made, the correct way to resolve the matter would be to pass it on to a neutral administrator (that is, and administrator that isn't your friend).
I think calling someone "Mr. I'm Always Right" may not be the most civil manner to address the person, but I think it's a really mild act that should at most have led to a warning.
I have never been warned by an administrator before. The only "warnings" I received came from you (when you were still an ordinary user and were already having problems with me) and from a a neutral user who disliked my choice of words when I was replying an unpolite message I received from Opinoso. At the time I felt I didn't personally attack Opinoso, although I did admit my comments were not civil, thus, I publicly apologized. This happened almost an year ago. Since then I've been involved in some debates, but I was never involved in a situation of personal problems with other users. I don't think it's fair of you to relive a single event that occured almost one year ago to support your case against me. Something tells me a neutral administrator would never block me for the reason you blocked me.
I also think it's interesting to note you tell me you warned me for being uncivil, but when I warned you for the same reason (you called my opinion a "theatre" or something to that effect) you simply disconsidered my "warning" as harassment. At the time we were both ordinary users - in your mind your warning was perfectly placed in my talk page while my warning to you was considered harassment, although you were clearly not very civil towards me... "theatre"... I don't remember you ever apologizing for this, although you were clearly uncivil according to your own standards.
I have to ask myself - if I had to be blocked for 31 hours due to something minor such as calling you "Mr. I'm Always Right", shouldn't you have been blocked for calling my opinion a "theatre"? It's the same type of act, with the same level of intensity. I personally think little things like this should be overlooked, but if you think users deserve a blocking, then the same rule must apply to you as well.
I've never tried to offend you. Never. On the contrary, I tried to reason with you several times. Even when we had the long debate on the "social issues" thing, I always took your suggestions into account, and I even agreed with a few of them. You, in the other hand, came into the debate with an "all or nothing" posture. You never ever agreed with anything I said - is it reasonable to believe you are always right and I'm always wrong? At the time Dali-Llama was the neutral third party and he not only agreed with the "social issues" section, but he also agreed with 80% of the things I said. Again, I have to say I feel you took things too personally. You came into the debate basically saying "I don't agree with anything Sparks has to say, even if I don't know what he has to say".
You also had the habit of tossing rules around without explaining how the situation matched the rule you were evoking. This is not very productive. When you say someone broke a rule, you need to explain how the person broke the rule. Don't forget interpretation depends on the interpretor. Your interpretation is different from mine, and they in turn will both be different from the interpretation of a third party. That means rules and situations may be looked at from multiple angles, and the angle you pick is not always the correct one. Thus, your interpretation of rules and situations is not always the best one.
Let me make it clear I'm not calling you a corrupt administrator - I just think it's almost impossible for anyone to be able to judge someone fairly if they have a history of personal problems with the person they will judge. This is why, in modern Law, the entity that presents an accusation is never the same entity that judges the lawsuit. Human beings are not capable of separating their personal emotions from their judgement in this type of situation. Therefore, I hope the next time you find yourself in a place where you are reprehending someone you don't like, you will pass it forward to another administrator, preferably one that isn't your friend.
I'm not perfect and I do make mistakes. When I make mistakes I reconsider and I apologize. Do you feel you are ready to do the same?
I tried to talk to you many times. You always read everything I said (since you are good at quoting me), but you never replied. Was "not replying" the best way to deal with the problems you had with me? You were an ordinary user at the time. Now you are an administrator, and replying is one of your jobs. I hope you use this opportunity to end all of these problems once and for all. If you have anything to say to me, now may be a good time to do it.
Cheers.
