The fact that you work for the man shows you to be a hypocrite. Dirtybirdy78

Hey there...just wanted to let you know that I reverted your edit to Ireland, since that's the article for the whole island and not just the Republic. There's been a lot of back-and-forth on adding flags to that page, so if flags are your thing, I'd suggest entering the discussion on the talk page. Dppowell 04:15, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
And how it works? Let me tell you. If you edit looking for consensus, the stubborn editor will win the battle, because he will tire you untill you give up. Then, if you play the stubborn, everything goes well, until you get into an admin and he bans you just because he doesn't like that single edit of yours (he does not mind if you are right or wrong, he just wants to get rid of you).
E.g.: you think that Kingjeff of yours is a good fellow? He wanted so desperately to put a picture of his favourite football player that he did not mind to upload an unfree image on WP. This is bad, I hope you will agree with me, as I hoped everybody would have agreed with me, and I would expect his potentially damaging behaviour to be "punished", wouldn't you? Well, if you know WP as I know it, it would not come as a surprise the fact that it took more than a month of fights to have that unfree picture removed; and he is the good contributor; and I am the bad one.
There are countless I could tell, but I won't annoy you. I am just what WP made me to be. -- GodShores 00:43, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Oh, just a side note: when he uploaded Image:Andreas Ottl.jpg, he claimed to have had it allowed by Bayern Munich: I asked him to fill an official request for permission (I think it is called something-ticket on Commons), and he said he would have done it. Ask him what happened to that request, maybe you will understand why I say a good editor is valued as a bad one.-- GodShores 00:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello there!
I'm writing to inform you that we are now forming the first local Wikimedia Chapter in the United States: Wikimedia Pennsylvania. Our goals are to perform outreach and fundraising activities on behalf of the various Wikimedia projects. If you're interested in being a part of the chapter, or just want to know more, you can:
Thanks and I hope you join up! Cbrown1023 talk 03:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
It seems that the assessment of Irish articles has fallen off the radar but recently Flowerpotman, Sarah777 and I have been doing a little work on this as well as actually classifying articles (actually Sarah has done the most work). Anyway, you are listed as a member of the WikiProject hence this post.
We are not bad in our assessments but some projects have all their articles assessed while others are lacking more than we are. We can really use a few active editors to bring assessments to the fore. Please reply on the assessment talk page as to what you can do. Please help out. ww2censor 17:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello, just wanted to drop you a friendly line about disambiguation pages. As per the style guideline for disambiguation pages, only the words being disambiguated get wikilinked, rather than the normal practice of linking all interesting terms. As such, I reverted your change to the O'Brien disambiguation page. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. -- Kralizec! ( talk) 18:03, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
If you are minded to write something, feel free to take whatever you like from here. I don't see that I'm likely to get back to this before 2008. Best wishes, Angus McLellan (Talk) 18:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
I've now updated the talk page of your RfA with your edit count. Good luck. Rudget Contributions 13:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
I have left a post on the Great Famine article talk page. I would rather you had used the talk page first, than just reverting. Possibly you could address this, and we can use the talk page. Thanks in advance, -- Domer48 13:09, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm pleased to inform you that, consensus having been achieved, you are now an administrator. Please read all the material on the administrators' reading list before testing out your new privileges. For instructions, please see the administrators' how-to guide. Best of luck — Dan | talk 22:36, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Good job! There are some good reading links in the post above. Beyond that, please don't hesitate to ask any questions. Good luck. IrishGuy talk 22:54, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Great job! It seems IrishGuy covered all I was going to say :) jj137 ( Talk) 23:08, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Congratulations on passing your RfA! Here is your new T-shirt, and when you have the chance, don't forget to visit the school for new admins. Good luck! Acalamari 23:17, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
I wanted to thank you for your considered opposition to my RfA. Your concerns are valid--and I understood your opposition more thoroughly when I saw the candidate you nominated. I may never have an editorial record like Hb,ws...but I hope I can approach you with any questions I might have while wearing the admin hat. Dppowell 23:29, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
I see now that I ought not to have left you a message about it at all...I missed your instructions. The talk pages blur together when you're posting to a bunch of them in rapid succession. Sorry! Dppowell 23:35, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Congrats Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 00:12, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Note, you have a table missing a |} at the end of the "thanks" you just sent out, it is breaking talk pages. Happy editing, and welcome to the sysop club! — xaosflux Talk 01:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Regarding my comments at WP:UAA [1], I wasn't sure to remove the blocked user(since the bot wasn't) or leave it to an administrator to remove it.-- U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. 03:30, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
The others are being silly, of course you get more than a lousy t-shirt:

I recommend reading my essay outlining what you can now do that a non-flagged account can. There might be a couple interesting things that you didn't know. Keegan talk 03:50, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Well done. Now get on with it. :) 07:47, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. The Preity Zinta article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to. In my view it is better than some existing FA actor articles. I would therefore be very grateful if you could give it a final review in your own time and leave your comments and views at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Preity Zinta. Thankyou, your comments are always valuable. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 10:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
I wondered which aspect of the username policy this name violated? sbfw | talk 04:22, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Excuse me.
User:White Devil has several final warnings on their user page. Edit history shows that each time one is received, editor cools it for at least a week, then resumes same vandalism. [2] [3]
This is the 2nd time in two weeks a block was denied because this editor hasn't been active since final warning issued. I'd say this vandal has found a method to evade block.
This account has few or no good edits, and may be vandalism only. I think a block is in order. / edg ☺ ★ 05:35, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
See #1 on WP:AIV: "The vandal is active now, has been sufficiently warned, and has vandalized after a recent last warning, except in unusual circumstances." Last Tuesday doesn't count as recent in my book. What you describe may be unusual circumstances, but there appear to be some good-faith edits in the history and I'd prefer to give the benefit of the doubt. If you feel strongly about a block, I'd suggest summarizing the situation on WP:ANI. I'm not opposed to the user being blocked, but I'm trying to play it by the book.

Thanks for supporting my RfA, it closed today with a final tally of 39 supports, 1 oppose and 1 neutral. As always, if you ever see me doing anything which would cause you to regret giving me your support, let me know. henrik• talk 18:40, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi there--he actually went to New Brunswick's St. Peter's High, not St. Peter's Prep in Jersey City. I'm slowly creating a page for the high school here; I'll wikify Cahill's entry when it's ready. Dppowell ( talk) 18:54, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
...for helping me navigate the waters of my surprisingly peaceful
RFA, which closed successfully with 85 supports, 1 oppose, and 0 neutral.
I would particularly like to thank Acalamari and Alison, my nominators, and everyone who watched the page and ran the tally.
I appreciate your support. If there is anything I can do to be of service in the future, please feel free to contact me. (Oh, and if you hate RfA Thankspam, please forgive me. I promise I won't block you for deleting it ;-))
And forgive me if I need a Wikibreak now and then (like now. I'm exhausted!). You wouldn’t want to see me climbing the Reichstag, now would you?
Off to flail around with my new mop! (what?!)
You posted a warning [4] against personal attacks at the talk page of 83.70.246.228. Please note the IP editor's other postings which appear to violate WP:NPA which appeared before your warning: [5] , [6] , [7], [8]. Please note the other posting which appeared after your warning: [9]. Your input would be helpful. Thanks. Edison ( talk) 03:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
