REVERT
Thanks for the revert of my talk page at one stage it was going back and forwards like a game of tennis Jim Sweeney (talk) 02:29, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

InuYasha Character Pages
Sorry, but I don't get the "latest" manga volumes in Newfoundland. We're on volume 33, which is when Kohaku releases the rats. I did, however, find a summary online that said they had three children. 142.163.22.217 (talk) 22:30, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Haha. I just realized I forgot to log in. My username is Kagome_77 by the way. 142.163.22.141 (talk) 22:33, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Dalek
No, it shouldn't have been reverted and it's being reverted back. The Dalek's Master Plan was the longest serial of the entire Doctor Who series. Don't be a wikinazi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.57.241.85 (talk) 23:15, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

The Tales of Beedle the Bard GA review
Hi, thanks for reviwing the article, but I would like to ask a few questions about your review of the article as you haven't been very clear in some places, and also point out some mistakes I think you made. See the talk page. diego_pmc (talk) 09:57, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * See the page for responses. Happy to help!--Finalnight (talk) 14:55, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks again. I have also asked Phoenixrod for his opinion. Is there anything else I fix do that could make it fail again? diego_pmc (talk) 06:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: My RFA
OK, it seems as though there are more people who are against my request - some say I lack experience, others say my answers to questions are too vague, and some say I wanted to seize admin powers to use them abusively. But the reason for my RFA was because I'm doing my job, and I would like to know what it is like to be a sysop here... Anyway, thanks for the suggestions - God Bless and have a nice day, sir...

Speedy Deletion
I saw you just placed a speedy deletion tag on a page here: Ramon desage. Did huggle replace the page with the tag? Could that be a bug? Just wondering because i didnt make the edit. :) Thanks  Dillard421 (talk • contribs)  05:48, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

True, but...
True, but my newer speedy deletions are better, please check them outMyNameIsJasonBourne (talk) 06:25, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanx
Which one was that, and can you be more specific in what I need to improve? Thanx MyNameIsJasonBourne (talk) 06:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Warnings
Thanx, I was unsure about that specific one. ALos, what are some tags I can put for pages that I want to give a warning, for things that are great, but are missing just a little here,and there and aren't vanda;ism, or self promotion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MyNameIsJasonBourne (talk • contribs) 06:35, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Better?
Am I doing better now?MyNameIsJasonBourne (talk) 06:51, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Quechua Wikipedia
Sorry about removing the AfD tag. My intent was to revert this edit. Because of the accidental removal, some users who viewed it might not be aware that it was up for deletion; may I suggest re-listing the article to gain a broader consensus? Thanks. 69.140.152.55 (talk) 19:56, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Death and state funeral of Ronald Reagan
Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for all your help in getting Death and state funeral of Ronald Reagan to GA. Your suggestions were very helpful and beneficial. Best, Happyme22 (talk) 22:02, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks
My RfA  Thank you for your support in my recent RfA, which closed successfully. I felt the process was a thorough review of my contributions and my demeanor, and I was very gratified to see how many editors took the time to really see what I'm about and how I can be of help to the project. As a result, some editors changed their views during the discussion, and most expressed specific, detailed points to indicate their opinion (whether it was, , or ).

A number of editors were concerned about my level of experience. I was purposeful in not waiting until a particular benchmark occurred before requesting adminship, because I feel - as many do - that adminship is not a reward and that each case is individual. It is true that I am not the most experienced editor around here, but I appreciate that people dug into my contributions enough to reach the conclusion that I seem to have a clue. Also, the best thing about this particular concern is that experience is something an editor - or administrator - can always get more of, and I'll continue doing that, just as I've been doing. (If I seem a little slow at it, feel free to slap me.)

I am a strong believer in the concept that this project is all about the content, and I'm looking forward to contributing wherever I can. Please let me know if I can be of any help. In the meantime, I'm off to school...

Thanks again! Frank |  talk  14:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

AfD closure
Thank you. Rudget  ( logs ) 15:37, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

You are everywhere now that I look...
Not to sound too creepy, but I dug thru your archives to find our first encounter re: 2007 Vikes season, that's the one I was thinking of. Anyway, I continued looking thru your contribs, and the more I saw, the more I realized that you are an ideal admin candidate if you are interested in going thru an RFA. Your edit count (over 3000 - more with IP edits), your tenure 6+ months, your areas of activity (article building, account creator, etc) are excellent, and you'd do well with the tools I'm convinced. The plus side is you won't hafta ask anyone to do silly little changes to protected templates either :-). If you want a nomination, let me know, you'd pass.  You'll get some silly opposes, everyone does, but you'd do fine.  I've seen your contribs in speedies, in AFDs, in RFA discussions, and I'm thoroughly impressed with your clue level, (not to mention you're a Twins/Vikes fan. May I nominate you forhellweek? Two conditions if you say yes: 1:  You have to promise me that if it goes terribly wrong, you'll not quit Wikipedia. It's easy to say yes, but there have been some very good candidates that have been flamed out of RFA and quit Wik altogether. RFA hurts the ego big time, more than you realize it could. If you have the skin to be an account creator and participate in wiki-discussions, you have the skin for adminning, which is mindless and fun. Condition #2: Give me a day to write the nom. I'll type it up, "officially" nominate you here on your talk, you can answer the optional mandatory 1st three questions, and then transclude awy. Say yes? Keeper |  76  |  what's in a name?  21:24, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Excellent. And sorry 'bout all the corn down there.  I've been through Nebraska many many times.  The only nice thing is that cruise control on the car works for both the speed and the direction of travel (straight), as long as you have good alignment, you can nod off and not worry about leaving the road...seriously though, I'll work up a nom statement by this time tomorrow, after which you can add your answers to the "standard 3" and transclude. (or let me know when you want me to transclude it for you, no prob).  When you transclude, also make sure to change the ending time to be 7 days after whenever you transclude it.  Ok, I'm off, I'll be back here tomorrow!   Keeper  |  76  |  what's in a name?  21:59, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Let's make this official!
 Keeper76 would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact Keeper76 to accept or decline the nomination. A page for your nomination at Requests for adminship/ . If you accept the nomination, you must state and sign your acceptance. You may also choose to make a statement and/or answer the optional questions to supplement the information your nominator has given. Once you are satisfied with the page, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.

This nom statement was much easier than I thought it was going to be and therefore I got it finished before I went home for the evening! You are a terrific and refreshing editor, and I wholeheartedly believe that you will pass through RFA with minimal drama (note:I didn't say absent drama, just "minimal" drama). Answer the "first three", type "I accept" in the appropriate place, transclude (and then fix the end time), and away you go! Try not to take any opposition too personally, and don't feel like you need to respond to any supporters/opposers unless they ask you a direct question. You'll do great, looking forward to seeing you on "the other side". Cheers, Keeper  |  76  |  what's in a name?  00:36, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey there. I don't know if you remember me. Keeper76 here is a really good nominator and an overall good person. You'll do great Finalnight. ;) -- RyRy  ( talk ) 00:39, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

You just left a neutral comment on the above RfA, stating you may support in the future, but you supported three days ago. Might want to remove one... - auburn pilot   talk  01:47, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

D-Pac speedy delete
Hello! You tagged the article on D-Pac for speedy delete, but the article's author removed the tag. I just reverted that edit and restored your tag. Thanks. Ecoleetage (talk) 04:51, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Your RfA
Hi Final, I just saw the thread over on Keeper's talk page about possibly pulling the plug. I would suggest waiting until it gets closer to 70% before pulling it. While I agree that the trend is towards the oppose, don't pull it too early. There are people who support you and you don't want to betray their support by bailing on them. I would also echo what others have told you, you should do much better next time around should you choose to run again. Keeper does a quality job on finding candidates with potential---I just think he rushes them into the process before they have sufficeint experience. With 2-3 more months experience, I think you would have a much stronger shot at passing. Also, try to watch how you come accross. Some of the opposes are coming in due to concerns about "tone" in your responses on the RfA.--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon 15:17, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
