Freply, Please don't do that
I'm trying to insert a link to a recognized source, in the subsection regarding Christo-Paganism, by way of illustration. Your decision to play games with the revert key isn't making that any easier, and it is thoroughly uncalled for.

-

Freply, my "multiple edits" represent an attempt on my part to get rid of an annoying space which kept inserting itself in the link, for reasons obscure to me. I was under the impression that trying to make the page look as attractive as possible was a good thing.

Apparently, however, going the extra mile to produce a polished result has been taken as a sign of ill intent on my part. Don't worry, I won't do it again.

Thank You
What a year! My first year in Wiki, a featured article and now administrator. Thank you for your support. I feel honored to have befriended you. Tony the Marine (UTC)

WikiFun
It is now 15 days after the last WikiFun round. In the interest of continuing the game, I am willing to be a neutral party to assist in this three way tie. You may email me a list of WikiFun questions and answers, then I shall pick the best ones out of the three of you. Please elaborate the difficulty for each question. I will need at least 7 questions from you, but I won't stop you from sending me 20 of them or more. Thank you. -- AllyUnion (talk) 09:27, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your support
Thank you for supporting my candidacy for administrator. Kelly Martin 14:43, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

Round 9
Sorry, but I couldn't help myself in making the game continue on... the new round is up. I am sorry for the death in your family and I hope this bit of distraction can help you. -- AllyUnion (talk) 10:58, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Doppelgangers
I noted your contribution to the Doppelganger discussion at Village pump. I created a template for these accounts, and I thought you might want to know about it. I take it from your comments that you watch new accounts looking for possible vandals; when you find a Doppelganger, you might want to suggest they use the template. It contains formatting to automatically insert the user's "real" account name so they can easily be contacted, so you might want to send potential users to take a look at the template page: Template:doppelganger before they use the template. Hope you find good use for it! Essjay ·  talk 12:30, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for the reversion on my page. I honestly hadn't thought of Sept 11 when I chose the name. I was thinking more of the Cold War use of the phrase. Of course, I have no way of conveying that to the vandal. thanks again, and mplease accept my condolences. Ground Zero 21:21, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your kind thoughts. Sorry that guy was such a jerk on your userpage! Personally, I have no problem with your username, but you may be in for a lot of harassment from others. It might help to add a brief note to your userpage about why you chose it, but that probably won't prevent it 100%. Good luck and happy editing! FreplySpang (talk) 21:39, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Spartak Varna In Control
You can't ever win. Varna.

You need to stop vandalizing Wikipedia pages by making your senseless reverts of my changes. The anti-worm article is clearly not going to be removed, as indicated on the deletion talk page you've already seen. Please refrain from senselessly reverting my changes.

Your edit summary
Hi, I liked the edit summary in this edit of yours. :-) -- 10:56, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

Mind Benders
Hello! I've noticed your interest in Wikifun, and thought I might share this with you. I have recently taken over the responsibilities of Mind Benders (shortcut: WP:MIND), and I just wanted to let you know that the pre-round, an artistic competition, is now open! Afterwards, we will hold "normal" competitions once a month- the normal rounds will each consist of ten or more fun, logical, brain-stimulating questions. For right now, though, you can check out the practice problems from old competitions. I'm looking forward to seeing you on our page and having some WikiFun!!! Thanks, Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 22:19, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

P.S. Check the village pump news for updates- I'll put an announcement up when round one opens.

Thank you so much. Well, I guess that means I can't use the sandbox anymore. &rarr; Jarlaxle Artemis   02:41, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

User:JarlaxleArtemis
Also asked me to unblock, and seems to be in the habit of deleting any negative or neutral comments on (his?) talk page, so did think I would ask you here instead of risking asking you on (his?) talk page and having you perhaps not see the question. Did you ask User:Linuxbeak why, in LinuxBeak's opinion etc. etc. and in the interests of having both sides of a story, JarlaxleArtemis was blocked before unblocking that user? Regards and sincere best wishes Schissel : bowl listen 03:12, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

Just to give you a heads-up: Jarlaxle email-bombed me over 120 times with the term "FUCKER" after I blocked him. As the rule of thumb goes, I will not repeat the same admin action twice, but consider Jarlaxle to be high on my user-contrib blacklist for some time now. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 03:42, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)


 * I did no such thing. &rarr;  Jarlaxle Artemis   03:42, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)


 * Anyway, he blocked me merely for doing this. &rarr;  Jarlaxle Artemis   03:44, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)


 * Schissel - The block log said that Jarlaxle's block was set to expire at 00:55 Jun 22 (IIRC) then an autoblock of his IP effectively extended the block by nearly 24 hours. I didn't lift the original block, but the extension. Linuxbeak - thanks for the headsup. I'm not sure how best to connect that kind of extra-Wikipedia actions to Wikipedia reactions. From the discussion on his talk page, it looks like he was blocked for his annoying Sandbox edits. I can see why you would be wary, in any case.  Cheers, FreplySpang (talk) 13:40, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Another clarification: Jarlaxle email-bombed me after I had blocked him, so it would actually be a Wikipedia action to an extra-Wikipedia reaction (or is it? I might be getting words confused). Anyway, thanks for the confirmation that you received the heads-up. I'm going back to being productive now :P Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 15:32, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

Jar. was right to remind me that the reasons I actually gave for blocking him were extra-Wikipedia, so to speak, and not valid reasons for a block/ban. If it's not lifted already I'll go and do so. In my honest opinion while Linuxbeak banned him for placing very objectionable images in the sandbox, his other behavior on Wikipedia in that period included material that might have been added to that list (removing ban warnings from his talk page comes to mind.)

Regarding the edits to the ED page
I own the copyrights to this text, even though it appears on a different site as well. How do I proceed to add it anyway?

Adding a note on the article's talk page
That's fine. I actually don't mind sharing my copyrighted primers, especially on Wikipedia. In the latest version (where I added clinical tests, I also provided an external link to a full primer, which text would be an overkill for the Wikipedia entry on ED - I own the copyright to that primer.

So, should I revert my changes and add a note on the talk page? What would the note look like? Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help
Thank you very much for your help and advice. I created an account.

Your RFA
Hi FreplySpang - belated congrats, and no probs with the support. Hope the "family situation" sorted itself out OK! Grutness...  wha?  23:12, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Ah, I'm taking a chemistry class. And hope the "family situation" turned out okay. :) – ugen64 23:16, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I'm sorry to hear about "sad events" and hope things are as well as can be hoped.  Guettarda 01:38, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I don't think I vote oppose all that often, but anyway I appreciate it. I'm sorry about whatever happened. Everyking 01:40, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Again, congratulations, and well deserved (although perhaps saying anyone *deserves* to be an admin isn't all that complimentary!). Glad to see you back. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 04:14, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm a bit late, too
Congratulations! I should really be more active here ^^; -- M e r o v i n g i a n  (t) (c) 03:55, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

sorry, im a child

me
sorry im a child, are you large?

Look, no shift key!
my edits to vampier lifestyle are some good too just because you are not a vampire i don't think you should say because you do not know these things. .... contributed at 06:20, 2005 Jun 25 64.12.116.70 


 * (I've retitled this section more appropriately.) Freply, congratulations on being handed the mop and bucket. (And I'm sorry to hear of family problems.) Well, the mop would be well used on our little chum 64.12.116.70. Give him -- somehow I always picture these people as male -- at least a couple of hours to cool off, would you? Thanks, Hoary 06:29, 2005 Jun 25 (UTC)
 * Ah, you'd already done it. Fast work! Thank you. -- Hoary 06:31, 2005 Jun 25 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but it's an AOL IP address, so I didn't feel right about blocking it for a long time. Grumble. FreplySpang (talk) 06:33, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC) P.S. ... and thank you for your kind thoughts and congratulations! FreplySpang (talk) 06:35, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

RFA thanks
Hey, I never even got around to thanking everyone after my promotion. It was my pleasure to support you. - Mgm|(talk) 07:17, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes congratulations – you certainly deserve it. I am very sorry to hear of your family problems.  Cheers, smoddy 09:12, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Indeed, no explanations necessary -- I hope that your family issues are, if not resolved, at least better. &middot; Katefan0(scribble) June 28, 2005 19:27 (UTC)

Albuquerque
Technically the largest part of downtown ABQ is in the Northwest. The dividing point is CENTRAL AVE. for north and south, and the BNSF railroad tracks for east and west. the majority of downtown lies west of the railroad tracks and north of Central. As time has past, more-and-more people use the two Interstates of I-25 & I-40 to divide the city in casual conversation, but this in not a technical or legal description, and the Post Office still uses Central and the tracks.
