Responding to your response to my comment re your comment
You asked why I thought you had edited http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delusion.

I started at this line on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delusion
 * I've never heard that before. What would you use as a citation?--DorisHノート 17:03, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

at Idea of delusions in Buddhist teachings

I click on DorisHノート

That lead me to User's Talk Page

Then I go down to: Feel free to drop me a question on my talk page.

Then I click on "talk page" and that takes me to: Booksworm's Talk Page

So I thought it was you.

I'd be grateful for a clue as to how to contact DorisHノート --Raymm 03:01, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 17:40, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

CVU
The reasoning that CVU is not included is that RFA and FAC are essential Wikipedia processes (in the former case, it's very pertinent to the community, and the latter case is pertinent to editors and readers), and CVU isn't important to readers, and is barely relevant to most editors. 99% of Wikipedia visitors are not editors.

 * No, but will not including it bring destruction and doom to Wikipedia? Both your question and mine are flawed, because neither option is a life-or-death issue.  However, I feel strongly that the link should not be included, because we should avoid self-references as much as possible, where they're unnecessary.  Most users are aware that the proper link to the CVU is WP:CVU.  When searching for CVU, every result on the first page after the first two entries are related to the Wikipedia organization.  The problem is that, as I said above, readers need to be our first priority.  Readers aren't interested in a Wikipedia organization that 99.9% of them have never heard of.  The relatively few editors who are interested in the CVU will eventually find the page (through the shortcut, via search, or via one of the numerous links on userpages.

Image Header 2
Just so you know the image was originally a Non-free logo, but the user changed the liscense upon request (as its being used in his userspace), and did not remove the orphan tag. In any case, thanks for fixing that oversight by the user. ——  Eagle 101 Need help? 16:32, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * no worry :) Good job on your part with spotting and removing the tag :) ——  Eagle 101 Need help? 19:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes please!
Yes please Booksworm! I'm sure that after a bit of help just to get the hang of it and to understand the different functions, I will be able to get on with my buisness by myself. Until then, yes, please adopt me.

One question...
Booksworm, what do you mean by "Mainspace" edits? (Creating 500 articles, making 500 large edits...) Could you give me an example on what you mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Black lupin (talk • contribs)

OK, if its a mess and you obviously have enough time on your hands, then you enter it. But you can't say its not noted. http://www.pgawest.com/golf/TPCIntro.asp —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jnf860 (talk • contribs)

Hello there
Hey Booksworm, thanks for your concern! I was off Wikipedia for a while, but I'm returning (albeit slowly) now. I'm sorry I wasn't able to reply to your message about Viriditas--I hope that issue has now been resolved. Cheers, and happy editing, Tangotango (talk) 02:31, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Was there a probelm?
Could you tell me more about what was the problem with the Geoffrey Winthrop Youn g revisions? I'd like to be able to make constructive revisions. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Globalhist (talk • contribs)

Use caution
Good morning! I voted for your RfA. However you should be very careful about asking people to vote for you. This is considered to be canvassing (see WP:CANVASS) and can be terribbly detrimental to the outcome. There are no hard and fast rules, but seeking out and asking people to vote for you is often considered bad form. Just something to think about. See the current RfA here which could fail, in part, because of canvassing. Please consider this a friendly suggestion.  Jody B talk 11:45, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Aloha
Thanks for the nice message. I'm looking forward to working productively with you in the future. If you still have an interest in films, please join the film project and help out. Talk to you later, &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 03:08, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Withdrawing an RfA
I believe the correct thing to do is to post a note to that effect on the bureaucrats' noticeboard and let a b'crat take care of it. Of course, it's also perfectly fine to remove your RfA from the list and add the closing templates yourself but it's best to leave it to someone who knows how to do these little things right. I'm sorry about the wrong turn your RfA has taken. Try again in a month or two and I'm sure people will forgive the missteps. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 05:45, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Requests for adminship/Booksworm
I have closed your RfA based on the request at WP:BN, I'm sorry that it did not pass this time, but don't hesitate to try again, the opposes were based on canvassing issues, which is easily sorted when your RfA next comes up - just don't tell anyone about it, and whilst your RfA's running, just get on with editing the encyclopedia. Best of luck in the future, regards -  Ry an P os tl et hw ai te  11:12, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Switzerland
The article Switzerland you nominated as a good article has failed, see Talk:Switzerland for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said article. If you oppose this decision, you may ask for a review. Caniago 16:11, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

My Rfa
Hi, Jean-Paul. I'm sorry your RfA ended the way it did. You're a kind user, and I know you'll make it next time soon. So rock on, and never give up! Oh, and thank you for supporting my RfA. I am thrilled to have earned your trust. Please let me know if I ever screw things up =) I hope to live up to your expectations. See you! PeaceNT 06:29, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
