Macedonia
Hey, AO. It's me Random. I have been experienceing some problems. Macedonia (Greece) is being vandalized by a user adding false information. The user is User:Alboking. I have already reverted edits twice and because it is not clear vandalism I need you to revert and warn user. I was going to warn him, but he would always change my edits before I got to. Help! --  Ra nd om   Say it here!  00:01, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Adopt
Hey, AO. It's me Random. I wonder if you would consider adopting me? Leave me a message. --  Ra nd om   Say it here!  02:43, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

User page design, advice on how to become a responsible wikipedian. Stuff like that. --  Ra nd om   Say it here! 13:15, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I have read the pillars and such. By the way, no problem for the star, you earned it. --  Ra nd om   Say it here!  13:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I have added POPUPS. You told me it would be a good idea, in an earlier message. I have been on RC Patrol for awhile. Adding MVP pages to my watchlist is a great idea, and I will do that right away. Also, what do you think of my userpage, it is still under construction. --  Ra nd om   Say it here!  13:37, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm happy to hear you like my userpage. What do you the article I created. --  Ra nd om   Say it here!  13:42, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

What did you mean by google would be higher in quality, information, both. No matter what I agree with you though. It is still a work in progress, if you could help, that would be greatly appreciated. --  Ra nd om   Say it here!  14:00, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk about a disconnect huh. I thought you were saying the article could be better, which I think it can, while you saying you though google would have been higher in the list. I tell you. --  Ra nd om   Say it here!  14:06, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey AO, What's up. I made a mistake, you see I was welcoming new editor User:Llama11 and by chance, I welcomed him on his user page, instead of his talk page. I blanked the user page, and welcomed him on his talk, and I was wondering if you could delete the history, so that it is a new page again. Leave me a message. --  Ra nd om   Say it here!  01:10, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for being a mentor to me. I'm not new enough so that you could adopt me, but it is nice to know you can have someone to help you if you get stuck. I was considering Adopting a user. Do you think it would be a good idea? --  Ra nd om   Say it here!  00:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I know it is premature to ask, but do you think six to seven months down the road I have a shot at becoming an admin? --  Ra nd om   Say it here!  01:06, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, i'm new here. Do you want to be my wiki friend? Blindbutcute 17:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Cool! By chance, do you know about the show Naruto? Blindbutcute 17:30, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry! But okay! Blindbutcute 17:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

(WARNING: off topic) Hello! First thing: You're an admin, Right? Well, you're infobox contradicts. You probably know this, but it'll probably nag me until I get it off my chest. Second: finally, someone who also likes Age of Empires! =D AoE 2 is really cool BTW - a real classic. If you haven't, try playing the original - it's a fascinating comparison. Happy Editing!

United States
How could you possibly say my edits have been vandalous? You obviously have an agenda. Lucky for you, I have no time to be adding and removing things so in this sense you won. However, for the record, the US is not "involved" in Iraq but is undergoing a horrendous military occupation whose results are too well known. Sorry, but that's the truth. And also, "American" has no legal standing. There is no such thing as an "American" citizen but rather a "US" citizen, because America is a continent and not a single country. It might be hard for a nationalist like you to understand, but that's the reality. Manuellebron

WikiProject Age of Empires
You may have noticed that Wikiproject Age of Empires was recently classed as inactive. As you are a current member of the project, I would like to know if you are still considering participating in the project. It would also be great if you could refer some new members to the project, if you find anyone suitable for it. Thanks! ~ G1ggy!  Reply 04:08, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Well... thanks!--Rambutan (talk) 12:06, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't realise it was you who blocked France a! Well done.--Rambutan (talk) 12:14, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

As a followup, I've been having a completely ridiculous conversation with France a on his talkpage, and you may wish to take a glance at it, and either tell him to stop griping or me to ignore him! Thanks very much,--Rambutan (talk) 15:52, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I will do. Thanks.--Rambutan (talk) 07:02, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Would you mind protecting that talkpage, as was done to the sockpuppet User talk:France a, since the editor is now accusing me of falsifying administrator's IP addresses, and I'm a bit bored with the discussion. Thanks.--Rambutan (talk) 16:35, 15 May 2007 (UTC) PS: I also asked EVula to do it.
 * Righto! Thanks for all your help - although I've got a horrible feeling that another sibling will surface in an hour or two!--Rambutan (talk) 17:02, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Great, thanks. I'm just having a peep at the new user log, for users with Doctor-Who-ey names created after the protection!--Rambutan (talk) 17:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Here they are. I listed them on AIV so they may already be blocked by now.--Rambutan (talk) 18:16, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much! You're a great help.--Rambutan (talk) 07:01, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry to bother you yet again, but would you mind protecting the talkpage, since I can see an epic fight between good and evil coming on again. Thanks.--Rambutan (talk) 12:33, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

It hasn't quite worked - you unprotected it, even though it wasn't protected to start with! Sorry.--Rambutan (talk) 12:39, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Excellent!--Rambutan (talk) 13:06, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

what is wrong with doctor who user names??? --Dwrules 13:57, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

A bit of a edit war among three of us who are trying to correct the article huh =p --Cyktsui 23:24, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

References to the board game Risk in popular culture up for deletion
Hey, I was wondering if you could speak on behalf of keeping the Risk in pop culture article alive. I'd hate to see all our work go down the drain: Articles for deletion/References to the board game Risk in popular culture b_cubed 04:20, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That's perfectly cool. I was afraid at first that all the trivia nonsense was going to get sent straight back into the main article. If it gets deleted that's fine with me. b_cubed 04:11, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Elephant Charge.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Elephant Charge.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:36, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Stop being so humble, AO. Then again considering the fact you have 7-9 barnstars, you have the right to be slightly arrogant. I mean this in a good way, you know. Anyway, you deserved the barnstar. I don't why TomasBat gave me one. He gave me it because my username was cool. :) --  Ra nd om   <sup style="color:olive;">Say it here!  21:49, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

My edit to Soviet Union
My edit to the Soviet Union topic "appeared" to be vandalism, i dissagree. I deleted a link that lead to nowhere. Because i tried it and it took me nowhere.

Thank you so very very much for the beautiful star and your kind words, dear Andonic! :) Your idea made me giggle... imagine this scene: me giving myself a day, then telling myself "Oh my, thank you" on my talk page! Talk about multiple personality disorder! ;) Seriously, thanks so much for approaching me - I've noticed you and your excellent work, and I really wanted to tell you it's much appreciated and you have my warmest congratulations for that.

I have been working since some time now on Including Muhammad Pictures Against wiki-policies. However a set of editors who are in favor of including pictures keep saying that there is concensus. Those who do not wish to have pictures disagree with them. Itis a new issue now that if there was a clear concensus or not. Do you think being a moderator that there was clear concensus established at the end of mediation? I will be thankful with your reply. --- A. L. M. 04:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Species vandalism
Hi. I understand your concern about giving proper warnings before blocking but I think you should take a look at the history of the article Species. Over the last few days, it has been the subject of vandalism by, , , ,. All these users have no edits other than that vandalism and clearly this can't be a coincidence. Pascal.Tesson 12:58, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the blocks on those accounts. Check out User talk:Trafficcontrol, he's been threating to keep doing this. Not sure who to tell, but since I saw your were the admin who blocked these accounts I at least wanted you to know. Wildthing61476 17:53, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Coşkucan Özkul
Hey AO. It is me Random. Listen, there is this article Coşkucan Özkul, which was created by this turkish person. He/she has requested it be deleted. It is kind of confusing. He/she first left messages on my talk page as an Ip. Then they created an account, which left other messages. Whereas the article was created by a third.

From Former Vandal
I can explain. There is no second or third person. Both of two in one person, in me. Sorry for all of you. Alkuş is the one of my best friend and to joke to him, I written an article about him. Likewise, I written another article on Çoşkucan Özkul. If you check and compare their spelling and grammar, you can understand. Previously, I was a vandal in Turkish wikipedia, write the name tr:kullanıcı:saidferid. He is the person who writes this words. And you can ask me tr:kullanıcı:kibele, who can speak English wonderfully.

But
I forget Saklameken's code and I can't use it. Know this user as Alican Kutlu. user: Alican Kutlu

And I will ask you a question. How can you sign your paper without the user word.

Category inclusion potential glitch?
Hi. You may want to use a "noinclude" tag at User:AndonicO/Userpage template on the Category:Administrators_open_to_recall inclusion, as you show up twice in the category list. Hope that helps. ++Lar: t/c 22:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

A Risk query
I was just wondering if you could help me out. Earlier I was working on an article to complement the main Risk board game article. It ended up being decided by Robdurbar that it should be on one of my personal user pages where I could edit it until it was more finished. Here's the discussion if you need/are interested in seeing it for clarification.

Basically I just want you to move the edit history along with the article. I would have asked Robdurbar to do it but he has left wikipedia since. Furthermore, about a week ago I asked Deckiller if he could do this for me but he seems to be busy trying to catch up on some of his Final Fantasy Wikiproject. Honestly, he suggested that I finish citing and adding the necessary information to the article, however, I figure it is certainly past workshop/stub status, which is what Robdurbar was worried about. It is my hope that other people can contribute to this particular article if it is linked to the main article. I hope you are having a good day. Thanks. b_cubed 05:21, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Many thanks! :) Sorry to make you do something I could have done. For some reason I had it stuck in my head that since an admin took it off I needed one to put it back in. b_cubed 16:16, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

And
again thanks. I have a few exams in that two weeks. Then I can begin to contribute to Wiki, especially Turkey related topics.Alican Kutlu 07:55, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the rv
Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. I've gotten that kind of comment so many times, and it's very annoying. I wish those vandals would just learn that on Wikipedia, you're as old as you act. Oh, and I also wish that there were no such thing as vandals. :-) Anywho, thanks.
