Vandals[edit]

It sure was. I've warned him with {{MultipleIPs}}, and he seems to have stopped. But if you see him again, tell me, ok? Tito xd^{(?!? - did you read this?)} 03:58, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There are a ton of warning templates. The chart at Template talk:Test might help you to choose which one you want... there's {{blanking2}}, {{blanking3}}, {{blanking4}}... Tito xd^{(?!? - did you read this?)} 04:14, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm very sorry about thast but there was an edit conflict (well, about 6) and I just pasted your votes onto my revision (as I had fixed Dakotas votes too).

Teh RFA[edit]

I have ascended into adminship, thanks to the support of you and 63 others. Thank you. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 06:15, Dec. 17, 2005

Thanks for voting on my RfA! The final result was (36/1/1), so I'm now an administrator! Shanel 07:01, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ack! Thanks for letting me know.--Shanel 19:36, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Neopets[edit]

Page protection should generally be a last resort. There are indeed a handful of IPs attacking this page right now. I'll watch it for the next while, and see if I can fend them off with some blocks. If that fails, I'll protect it. Owen× ☎ 23:39, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Where[edit]

Where the hell have you gone. Get back here this instant. Kidding, have fun on your wiki-break. Oran e (t) (c) (e-mail) 00:15, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ianbrown's RfA[edit]

Thanks for voting in my recent RfA. I was overwhelmed at the turnout and comments received.

Ian ≡ talk 07:49, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I was on my way. :-D[edit]

Hi, about the article, Access Virus, I couldn't find anything so I was just on my way to revert the deletion I made. Sorry if what I did was wrong, If I just suspect a copy vio, I delete, then do a lengthy search If I can not find anything I revert back. So again sorry if that is the wrong way to handle copy vio's or suspected ones. And thanks for reverting, in this case I was wrong. KnowledgeOf Self | talk 21:07, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I just leave stuff in while I check it out... it being there for a few minutes does no harm.

I reckon it's a copyvio from a book, but without evidence, not much we can do. And who knows, maybe the anon did write it himself! Dan100 (Talk) 21:10, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Randy Orton[edit]

Thanks for you comments about my RFA. Also, if you haven't seen it yet, I commented on the Randy Orton situation. :-D — Moe ε 23:53, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't I edit pages[edit]

I'm trying to edit the encyclopedia but they keep changing it on me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.223.40.215 (talk • contribs)

Ok...[edit]

Alright here's the deal, everytime I try to make a correction to the encyclopedia. They keep changing it to the previous way it was before and then sending me threatening messages. How do I edit it without anyone changing it or messaging me? 64.223.40.215 08:52, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Lol[edit]

Yeah, delete it. lol. Hey, wanna know whay Ive also been scarce? Ive been working laborously on the Céline Dion article, trying to get it to Featured status. Its now in the voting stage (Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Céline Dion), and so far, things are looking up. There's just one oppose, and unfortunately, unlike RFAs, if this objection isn't resloved, the article may not be promoted (damn!). Oran e (t) (c) (e-mail) 21:48, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think the Celine Dion article is exceptional. I removed that comment from here :-D. To elaborate on my wikibreak, I was going to sleep at night thinking about Wikipedia lol, honestly it was because I was neglecting my RL obligations. So I had a few things I had to focus on besides Wikipedia. BTW do you have your email set up? KnowledgeOf Self | talk 22:09, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, my e-mail is set up, feel free to mail. You went to bed thinking of Wikipedia? I thought I was the only one! I also think about it in class and at work (pathetic isnt it?). I also tried to take a break (3 times), but was drawn back to the project →Im serious when I say Wikipedia sends subliminal messages. By the way, thanks for the vote on the RFC, very appreciated. Hopefully everything is worked out and it is promoted, 'cause Ive worked hard. Oran e (t) (c) (e-mail) 21:04, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Brickman[edit]

Yeah, well, I'm more of a classical musician, so I've not heard of him before...what's your opinion of him?--ViolinGirl^♪ 22:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ha ha (re:Bonnie)...I'll do a little look up about Jim. And yeah, those vandals...ya' gotta love 'em. I was just ROFL about Tito's episode...did you see that?--ViolinGirl^♪ 23:07, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

malo's RfA[edit]

Thank you!

KnowledgeOfSelf, thanks for your support on my RFA. I was rather suprised at the overwhelming support I received. Thank you for your confidence in me. I hope that I'll live up to your expectations in the future as well. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 04:55, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My RFA[edit]

Hey KnowledgeOfSelf! Thanks for your support on my RfA. The final outcome was an unanimous (45/0/0), so I am now an administrator. If you need help, or have a question, please don't hesitate to let me know! Again, thanks! :D --Eliezer | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 03:21, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is what he meant:I thought this was an editable encyclopedia clearly this is liberal bias please grow up and suck a cock fag. KnowledgeOf Self | talk 04:21, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. 24.1.56.36 04:25, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you[edit]

Thank you for your support of my Rfa, KnowledgeOfSelf. I am happy to announce that I have successfully been voted an administrator, and wish to say that I will work harder to make Wikipedia a more reliable source of information. Croat Canuck 06:48, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Stanley Williams[edit]

Hi. Thanks for taking my WP:POINT [1] with good humor. 209.178.135.12 06:59, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User:CoreSystem and User:201.29.54.151[edit]

There's no doubt the two are the same person. However, as the anon seems to have stopped after my warning, I'm inclined to leave things as they are until he vandalizes again. Owen× ☎ 01:15, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Adminship[edit]

OK, you've now been here for three months, have over 2000 good edits, so none of the usual excuses apply. Are you ready for adminship? I'd like to nominate you. Owen× ☎ 01:51, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

All set up: Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/KnowledgeOfSelf. Once you've accepted and answered the questions, I'll link it to the main page (or feel free to do that yourself). Good luck! I'm sure you'll do well. Owen× ☎ 03:06, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry[edit]

Sorry for the sucks dicks thing...i was just testing :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.54.110.236 (talk • contribs)

Merry Christmas!![edit]

MERRY CHRISTMAS, KnowledgeOfSelf/Archive05! Hope it's a wonderful one! (happy New Year, too!)--ViolinGirl^♪ 15:25, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Acknowledgement[edit]

No problem. My suggestion is to just bring sources of what the critics say, so we can include them as footnotes, and we can just use their quotes, rather than making it Wikipedia's stance. ;-) -- Natalinasmpf 18:50, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, the priorities for referencing would be quotes from people who have articles about themselves as well (ie. some notable critic), then some reviewer from notable sites, first. The references provided ie. "(Geffen, 1994)" should be in the footnotes section, with ISBN number listed, if possible. That's a good place to start. Oh, I made just one more revision, which will have to be updated, it's preferable if we omit the "many critics" and list each of the critics with their comments individually. That would not only make the article longer, but seem more solid! ;-) -- Natalinasmpf 19:15, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've provided an example for the footnotes. Quotes usually should be one or two sentences long, in keeping with the context. I can help you with other sources, if needed. Good luck with the article! -- Natalinasmpf 19:53, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My vote#14 = #28[edit]

Thank you for expresssing your support. But the sig for #14 = sig for #28. Regards, --Ancheta Wis 19:25, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Howcheng's RfA[edit]

Thank you for your support in my recent request for adminship. I was successfully promoted with a final tally of 74/0/0. I will endeavour not to let you down. Thanks again. howch e ng {chat} 07:08, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip[edit]

I'll be sure to use it from now on. Sorry for the bother it caused you!--ViolinGirl^♪ 12:55, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay. I was telling my parents how much vandalism Wikipedia get. Like the Tea article last night. Why do people do such stuff? Anyway...yes, I DID check out the Jim Brickman article...it's cool that he went to CIM. I think I had a friend who might have mentioned him, but I'm not sure.--ViolinGirl^♪ 16:42, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thanks from Deathphoenix[edit]

Hi KoS,

I just wanted to thank you for supporting me in my RfA and for your offer of congratulations. To tell you the truth, I was surprised by all the support I've gotten. I never saw myself as more than an occasional Wiki-hobbyist.

My wife sends her curses, as Wikipedia will likely suck up more of my time. She jokingly (I think) said she was tempted to log on to Wikipedia just to vote Oppose and let everyone know that she didn't want her husband to be an admin.

I'll make sure your trust in me is founded. --D e ath phoenix 14:16, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Feel better[edit]

Hey, hope you feel better. In the meantime, how is an apple like a lawyer? They both look good hanging from a tree! Come back soon. —Cleared as filed. 23:34, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Have some honey with tea and/or milk -- it may make you feel better. :-) --Nlu (talk) 01:23, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Esperanza elections[edit]

Thanks for voting for me in the Esperanza elections. I've been appointed to the Advisory Committee, thanks to your show of confidence in me. I'll do my best to make you proud, but please feel free to ask me for help at any time or to give me tips as to what you would like to do. Thanks for being an active member of Esperanza! I'll see you around. Tito xd^{(?!? - help us)} 00:34, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations![edit]

Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia 03:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
