Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. Gershwinrb 21:50, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. It seems Gershwinrb and I were vandalized by the same person. This person apparently created a vanity article which I deleted months ago. But he wants it back now and doesn't know how to send a message to users. Academic Challenger 23:21, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Hello EWS23. I have checked the votes, and they appear to be in order. ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 03:15, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
You are most certainly welcome - you absoultely deserve it! I just can't believe this is your first! -- Nataly a 20:47, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't know. I just thought it was a better title for it. Would you mind changing the title? The princess part doesn't really need to be there.
Dear EWS23/Archive 5,
By all means be my guest, the section does need a lot of work, and I don't really have time to do a proper job, so go for it. Have fun, if you need any help, let me know-- Jackyd101 02:38, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Eric,
It's me again. I know I've been asking a lot of stuff from you, but what other extreme environments do you know of, other than: deep sea, volcanoes, (anything to do with deep sea-sea vents etc.), caves, polar ice caps, space and desserts. Also, do you know much about the Ben Franklin (submersible)? It was the one where six men had to go into the Gulf Stream for thirty days. -- Abbopa 03:16, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for changing my talk page. I didn't even realize that when I stole it from Almac. Just one quick question though: How'd you come across my user page? schyler 12:42, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Eric,
Thanks for all your help again... very helpful. I've especially chose to study deep sea, as an extreme environment. I know of most deep sea fish (that are identified-thanks) and I now know about the Ben Franklin. There's some cool diving geer, one of which being the Newt suit. It's really quite cool. Ever heard of it? Abbopa 21:32, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Despite my slowness in getting back to you I did actually act on that report pretty quickly... I don't know if you noticed but as I suspected something fishy I posted on WP:ANI for confirmation, and the account (yes it's a registered user, not an IP) has been blocked indefinitely for impersonating Jimbo's IP address. And yes the report was to the right place- it was "complicated, deceptive vandalism". The main problem with that page is getting enough admins to watch it/do something about things there, hence the need to push some things to ANI to get some attention.

Thanks for your comments and inspiration on Wikipedia talk:Esperanza. I think you've given a very succinct explanation of what Esperanza should be about, even during this difficult time. It might even help me change my mind and come back, despite recent turmoil. Elkman - (talk) 16:47, 9 May 2006 (UTC) |
Hi Eric, sorry I couldn't think of a better subject/headline... oh well. Yes, my studies are going well, thanks again for the pages about the Newt suit. I saw the second page already, but that's okay. :0) Abbopa 01:10, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
...that you were on WP:RFA? I'm not sure how your admin coaching is getting on as your AC page says it's taking place on IRC, but I keep on thinking the above question. If you would like I could take a proper look at your contributions to double check you are ready and then give you a nomination? Or would you rather wait for your admin coaches to do the work? (I certainly don't mind if you'd rather they did it, but on the other hand if you think you are ready I'd be delighted to nominate you!) Petros471 19:58, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Eric,
I was wondering if you had any good websites for special equipment used to go very far out in space. Abbopa 16:28, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the interesting link. User:Zoe| (talk) 17:30, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Little of column A, little of column B. The correct title of the show has a capital "B", so those should be changed, the others... just felt "the need", I guess. And I read that thing, but I was just ignoring that little section. Thanks for the note and advice, though. Cheers. -- LV (Dark Mark) 22:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Eric,
You said that you could give info about probes for Uranus, Neptune, Pluto... and beyond. Have any good websites those? Abbopa 22:56, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks so much. From now on I'll know how to revert a page. I was wondering how people did that... :) Emily ( Funtrivia Freak) 01:15, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind words about my little parody. I was quite pleased with the way it turned out. Buck ets ofg✐ 04:32, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I'll fix targets. -- Deathphoenix ʕ 01:52, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, I've talked to Titoxd and he seems to agree that I'm ready for an RfA. [1] He said that since you requested the nom, you get it. So, as long as you are still willing, I would be honored if you would nominate me when you have the time to write one up. Thanks for all your help and support, and let me know if you have any more questions or comments. E WS23 | (Leave me a message!) 02:46, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the discussion regarding House. I just made this wiki name. It reflects a favourite novel of mine! Thank you! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JasonBourne2007 ( talk • contribs) .
Well its looking like you will be an admin. If you do get it I wanted to congrats you early (and be the first) as im sure you cant fail with like 62 support and 0 oppose and neutral. -- Ac t o w n e 06:07, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for continuing to revert vandalism to my user page. I just noticed that you quickly reverted a particularly vicious vandalistic edit, and looking through the page history and our previous discussions it seems that you have reverted my user page 5 or 6 times now. Good luck on your adminship. Academic Challenger 08:14, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Eric,
how do you look at a page's edit history? Abbopa 16:29, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Eric, thanks for helping me out, I didn't see the history tab at the top of the page. Abbopa 01:14, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Eric,
can you see other user's user pages if you don't have an account? If so, how? Abbopa 01:15, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I believe the page you're looking for is Wikipedia:Changing username. Follow the directions on that page to get a bureaucrat to change your username. Let us know if you have any more questions! E WS23 | (Leave me a message!) 03:51, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
BIG improvement, thanks. The only thing I could think of that could be further improved is defining the terms like persistence BEFORE mentioning them in that paragraph. Besides that, it reads much better. Good work. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 09:43, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
You're now an admin after an impressive showing of community support. I recommend using the tools conservatively, especially at first, and re-reading the policies before acting. Take anything potentially controversial to the administrator's noticeboard, and have fun saving the world with your new powers. :) - Taxman Talk 18:33, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Well as I didn't want to jump the gun, I didn't drop by with my congrats until now. Enjoy your new tools; I don't think I need to give you too many warnings about using them carefully as you'll do that anyway! It was a pleasure to nominate you, I'm glad I found such a easy candidate for my first attempt :) Petros471 18:35, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Congratulations on your successful RfA! Something tells me IRC is going to get a lot quieter now, with you being so busy and all. :P DakPow e rs ( Talk) 19:05, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Best wish for your adminship. In response to what you just said "Hopefully I'll continue to run into you around the project", there is one thing that I would like to suggest you to do. While I am not an admin here, I do watch Special:Contributions/newbies for images without source or copyright info and I have tagged many of them. Since you are now an admin, you have the power to delete articles, images, and the like, so problem images should be deleted according to policies. (Deleted images cannot be undeleted here, so please be careful as well.)-- Jusjih 13:28, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi,
I tried typing in Aboppa in the box on the left, and it didn't show me my user page. (oops, forgot to sign last message) Abbopa 21:36, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, it's me, Evan! I was wondering if you could do me a favour and review me on the editor review page. Thanks! -- Evan Robidoux 00:37, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

You deserve it, congratulations. Sorry I failed to vote, I'd have supported. NSL E ( T+ C) at 03:01 UTC ( 2006-05-24)
Ok I made some changes to the monobook. Please go into it and change:
Mvaluejsadmin = 'NOTSET'; Rvaluejsadmin = 'NOTSET';
...to the values of your choice for "revert all moves" and "revert edits(master rollback)" respectively. This is there to stop people in the same room as you from being jerks. And congrats on the admining...you now have a lot of tools, including JS, and JS that amplifies admin powers (you can revert hundreds of edits/moves with two clicks and a confirm, for vandals). Voice-of-All Talk 03:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Congrats on your successful RfA. :) And yes, it's not often that someone "wow"s me but after I looked through your edits, I was really envious. You deserve the mop. -→ Buchanan-Hermit ™/ !? 03:29, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Congrats on becoming an Admin. I am sure you will be of a great value to the Wiki community. Jordy 17:13, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Eric! I'd be more than happy to help redesign your userpage. ( Highway's is one of my favorites, too. :D) My talk page is open to suggestions or comments on your preferences, but as I have final exams next week, my access may be limited for some time. Just a heads-up. :) Regards, Sango 123 (e) 20:33, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
While you have my sympathies as far as attending the University of Washington goes
, congrats on becoming an administrator. Have you ever been to the east side of this beautiful (though weird-weathered) state? There's good stuff there--probably would remind you a bit more of Texas than Seattle does. Oh, and congrats on graduating next month, too. See you around!

I thought it was a small, pleasant place to live. When I was there in the late 1990's, the interns were a dynamic bunch and a number of published and in-house papers were produced. Houston is only two hours away, with New Orleans 3 1/2 hours in the other direction. Steve is a good boss; I liked working for him. Several people I worked with there are still at the office. Thegreatdr 17:46, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
My dear Eric, it is always a pleasure to see a name I'm familiar with attain his/her right to wield he mop - and in your case, an even greater pleasure, for despite the fact that we have never talked before, I've seen nothing but kindness, respect and a will to make this a better place in you. Your message meant a lot to me, and rest assured that you now hold a place as one of my wikifriends, and I thankfully accept your offer to share my thoughts and problems with you - as long as you promise to count on me should you ever need to talk to a friend as well. Please, don't worry about that incident on my talk page; so many nice people like you around make in excess for the deeds of a single person. Thank you, dear Eric! Kisses, Phaedriel ♥ tell me - 23:44, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for solving the Brawl problem. Can you help me with citing something? I don't know how. I want to cite Wario's profile for the Wario Waft addition, but like I said, I don't know how. Sukecchi 01:43, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Eric, Hey! It did work! How come I didn't think of that? Abbopa 02:43, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi it's me again, Abbie. I was just wondering... do you know any users that are administrators? Abbopa 02:48, 26 May 2006 (UTC) P.S This message was supposed to go on my last message, but I had a brain block for a second, and forgot what I wanted to do.
Woopsie, thanks. Weird that the edit conflict warning didn't come up. But then, it's failed a few times under similar circumstances. Oh well, time to move on. Thanks for the fix! -- Deathphoenix ʕ 05:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Err... yeah, having one extra small section asking for transparency on that bloody massive page really doesn't hurt anything. Next time you could try dropping a note on someone's talk, but I think a public "Oi! I did this!" is no problem. - brenneman {L} 04:14, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Wow! I didn't know that you are an administrator! Also, yes, it might be a great idea to find the right administrator, because I contacted one, and that administrator didn't reply back to me. Abbopa 18:41, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Name any random spicy food. I'll tell you why later. Abbopa 20:55, 27 May 2006 (UTC) :0)
I hope you like the blue theme. :) Do you want to have it implemented on your talk page as well? If you wish to have anything changed, don't hesitate to drop me a line! Cheers, Sango 123 (e) 22:31, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
The problem with defining specific numbers with a guide such as this (particularly where not absolutely clear-cut) is that it becomes self-reinforcing. New people read the guide, interpret this as the way they should vote, and thus a criterion which wasn't necessarily a given before becomes such. This was behind much of the battle that followed the creation of that guide, and I've got some of the same concerns about raising bars now. Rebecca 07:41, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
I thought your name was familiar...congrats on becoming an admin - I must have missed it! -- HappyCamper 19:55, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Gumbo. Never heard of that, but it sounds pretty interesting. I don't really like spicy food myself, but my nephew is doing a spicy food experiment. Abbopa 02:10, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
File:Atlanticpuffin4.jpg | Hello EWS23, fellow election staffer. Thank you for your full support and gracious comment at my request for adminship which ended at the overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0), and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation. You can see me in action and observe what then happened as a result. Naturally, if I make any procedural mistakes, feel free to point them out. I look forward to working with you in the future.
