Hi, you voted "keep" for this article and I was wondering what motivation or sources you found that warrant its keeping. As it stands the article is unsource conjecture about a seemingly non-notable concept mentioned in a few works that is not seen as a group (as the article portrays it). Have you found sources for this article? I am worried that the original author is just putting her opinion in the mix and not giving sources for what these people are or aren't. Please comment back and thanks. gren 05:43, 10 July 2005 (UTC)


 * I have no motivation for keeping it. Nor do I have sources that warrant its keeping. I think that I might follow the other user 'mysekurity' and go for a weak delete. If the author can produce a source I defidently think that the article should be kept. DarthVader 05:50, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

As Seen On TV
Thanks for supporting this article with a KEEP Darth. I don't know what the hell is wrong with all these North Americans slagging of The Magic Dudes. They are great. I also believe that a 12 part series on national television is noteworthy. For some reason they all seem to have got it into their heads that being on TV in Australia doesn't count for anything. To check out the total slagging I have been copping for doing an article on them, see The Magic Dudes and the associated VFD. Good to see at least one person apart from me thinks Australian TV shows are important. Do you like magic? MagicFan 14:13, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I am not too interested in magic, however I think that shows like this that go on national television are noteworthy. You certainly do seem to get a lot of crap on those VfD discussions. I hope that you are lucky enough to succeed. DarthVader 14:03, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Reading back through the crap on the VFD for these guys, it looks like a lot of what was written was bullshit. I just checked out their website at www.magicdudes.com and it definitely isn't a shop. The only thing you can buy there is the DVD of their TV show. It looks like the web site is more to do with who they are, what they are doing now and talking about their projects.

Constitution of Syria
Rmky87 here. I am the one who "blanked," er, moved the Constitution of Syria to Wikisource as 134.193.149.115 (there are so many things I can do logged off that I don't bother to log onto to that other computer). The instructions on the Move to Wikisource page say:
 * Simple process: (be logged in to Wikisource as well):


 * 1) Select and cut all text.
 * 2) Add    and save the changes.
 * 3) Click on article link and paste text.
 * 4) Add    to let people there know its a dump, and save the changes.

If you look at the right-hand side of this page, you will see

 Wikisource has original text related to this article: 

which makes  Wikisource has original text related to this article: 

on the right side of the page. I have put that back on the top of the page in place of the reverted move to Wikisource notice which is no longer needed.

Do I have your permission to turn the Constitution of Syria into a redirect to its present location at Wikisource? Seriously. I don't want to get one of those messages again. Rmky87
 * Yes you are completely right. I am so sorry. DarthVader 06:07, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

It's okay. I was once so tired that I did not an ice chest that came up to my shoulder, that was big and grey and was surrounded by nothing but wall and was directly in front of me. In my defence, I was too scared of screwing up to move before...What's-Her-Face said, "the one directly in front of you?" wondering what the hell was wrong with me.

user page vandal
I was tracking the edits of a vandal(of George Bush page) and he seems to have hit you. Contact admins Golbez or RedWolf24 if it happens again. They will block vandals in a heartbeat. Good day.Voice of All(MTG) 06:01, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing this out. I was aware of this vandal at the time. I reverted a page that it vandalised, and it got angry and wrote that stuff on my page. I then asked the admin Mindspillage to block the user, and this happened after that vandal continued to vandalise pages. DarthVader 06:13, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Strange, I have reverted vandals many times and they have left my user stuff alone, thank heavens. Glad this one got blocked. Who has nothing better to do than vandalize an internet encyclopedia all day, which will just get reverted anyway? beats me....Voice of All(MTG) 07:24, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

CJ Elections
Two nominees for Concillor, User:Osbus and User:Xchrisblackx, have now voted for other nominees in the Councillor category (in the case of Osbus for himself), which very clearly breaches the electoral rules. Therefore I would suggest that all votes are nullifies of the two nominees, and that furthermore both nominees be disqualified for a very clear breach of electoral rules, which they are expressly told to be conversant in (in nice read text). --Wisd e n17 20:43, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting my RFA! Unfortunately it did not succeed mainly because most opposers wanted me to spend more time on Wikipedia. Thank you for your faith in me & looking forward to your continued support in the future.

Hi James - I'm very sorry to have disappointed your expectation in me, but it had become impossible for me to compromise my principles. I don't covet adminship at all, so it wasn't a difficult decision - I simply cannot accept misrepresentation and nonsense. However, I cannot tell you how greatly joyous I feel at the enthusiastic, wonderful support you expressed for me. I don't know how hard it will be to understand that your supports means extremely a lot to me. I thank you from my heart, and please let me know if I can ever be assistance or help in anything.

Highway's RfA
 Request for Adminship 

Thank you for supporting/objecting/tropicanising me in my request for Adminship. Although I wasn't promoted to admin status, with a final vote count of 14/27/12, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was pleasantly suprised at the support, and was touched by it. I will also work harder on preventing disputes and boosting my edit count (which is on the up), so thank you to all your objectors. Hopefully I will re-apply soon and try again for the mop. Thanks again, H ig hway Rainbow Sneakers

Reply about humor toward listcruft
Even though you may think my contributions are funny, I try to do what I think is legitimate to Wikipedia; however, admins and expert contributors are taking it as vandalism (which is unintentional to my standards) along with AFD the listcruft. --Nintendude 14:57, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

CorbinSimpson's Request for Adminship
Thanks for voting in my request for administrator rights, even though it failed (13/30/4). Sadly, work has forced me to respond to you all using a substituted message rather than a personalized response. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that administrators, to me, should be chosen and approved by the community, and I will continue working to become a better editor and Wikipedian. No matter what the alignment of your vote was, I will take your comments seriously and use them to improve myself. If you wish to discuss your comments personally with me, I would be more than glad to talk about things since the RfA is now over; just leave your concern on my talk page and we will sort things out. Thanks again for voting, and happy editing! -  Corbin  <sup style="color:#009933;">Be excellent
