NPOV?
Can you document why you added the NPOV tag to Alice Schonfeld, on its talk page, please? It looks OK now but that may be because it has been through cleanup. RJFJR 03:46, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I added it because of the AfD discussion (Articles for deletion/Alice Schonfeld), and because at the time the article read like it was praising Schonfeld. If you think the article is OK now you can remove the tag. J I P | Talk 06:56, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

My RfA
Hi. On behalf of my right eye, I'd like to thank you for giving me your support on my recent RfA. It ended with a final tally of (73/2/2) and therefore I have been installed as an administrator now, and I'm ready to serve Wikipedians all over the world with my newly acquired mop and bucket. If you have any questions, do not hestitate to forward them to my talkpage. Once again, thanks for your support.  Soothing R  20:34, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

With apologies for the impersonal AWB-ness of the message... Thanks for your support on my recent request for adminship. It passed at 91/1/0, and I hope I can continue to deserve the community's trust. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you, and if I make a mistake be sure to tell me. My talk page is always open. (ESkog)(Talk) 02:24, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Ces ne sont pas des chapeaux.
Is this just a point of interest or did you put it there in the first place? Well, if, as I assume was the idea, the caption was by analogy to René Magritte's Ceci n'est pas une pipe, then I would think Celles-ci ne sont pas des chapeaux would work - I think; I don't profess to be a native French speaker so stick it up on the languages reference desk if you want to know for certain. To be honest, since it's a picture of an English market stall, I din't really understand it, but full marks for inspiration. :0) Flowerparty ■ 10:10, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Or even even Ceux-ci ne sont pas des chapeaux - stupid masculine/feminine language. Flowerparty ■ 10:14, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * So the only thing I got wrong was the pronoun at the start. Thanks. J I P | Talk 10:20, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Kenardington, Ruckinge
Hi JIP. To satisfy the GFDL, don't forget to note the content's original author when you create an article from WP:AFC. Cheers. ×Meegs 22:17, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 * How do I do that now that I've already created the articles? I can't change edit summaries in previous edits. Do I have to note on the articles' talk pages? J I P | Talk 08:59, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure, but anything — like a null edit (actually those get thrown-out, you need to make some change, like inserting a space) with the info in the edit summary — is probably good enough. A note on the talk page would probably do too. ×Meegs 11:31, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Million pool
This is just so strange. =) You created the Million pool, and are going to have the second-closest guess yourself. Are you psychic or something? If the growth rate slows down just a tiny amount then you'll be able to win your own pool. J I P | Talk 17:14, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Hehe, yeah, that turned out great ;-). I promise I wasn't using any supernatural skills to cheat, but I _did_ do some basic statistical analysis and made a qualified guess at the future. I think that less than a week off is a pretty good result, definitely within the margin of error for such guesswork ;-). Would have been slightly embarrassing to have started the page and go on to win it, so I think it's for the best. &mdash; David Remahl 18:37, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting my successful request for adminship. I'll try to put the admin tools to good and responsible use. If I do anything wrong you know where to find me. Raven4x4x 08:39, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks
Thank you for voting on my RfA, it passed with a final tally of 68/0/0 so I'm now an administrator. If there's anything I can do to help, you feel I've done something wrong, or there's just something you want to tell, don't hesitate to use my talk page. Thanks. - Bobet 10:43, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Your guess at Ten-million pool
Did you really mean January 2031? It looks like you meant 2013, but I wanted to contact you before changing your vote. J I P | Talk 12:57, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I ment 2013!. Bad typo, will change now -- HamedogTalk 13:00, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Eugene the Jeep
Thanks for pointing that out. I've cleaned up the text a bit so it's a bit more clear and logical... at least it is to me. Dismas|(talk) 19:37, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Hockey diacritics
There is currently a "war" going on about diacritics on English Wikipedia, especially in hockey articles, so if some of the anti-diacritics people revert your Template:Finlandicehockey2006 changes, don't be surprised. I was happily surprised to see it was not still Elrith and ccwaters cursing eachother off in the history. Welcome to the pro-diacritics cause! Hazelorb 21:02, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! It may be national pride, but I hate to see the names of my countrymen and countrywomen spelled incorrectly just because someone's too lazy or too bigoted to find an "ä" or an "ö" on their keyboard. I can accept names like Kirk Jarvinen (or whatever it was) for people who have been born in the USA, and have their names officially spelled like that for convenience reasons, but if their real name includes accented letters, then that's what I'm going to go with. I noticed that most of the changes from Selänne to "Selanne" weren't even consistent with the other names - I still saw names of Czech players spelled with accent marks. If it's OK for Czechs to use them, why not for Finns? Seems like someone has a personal vendetta against Teemu Selänne.

V (magazine)
Hello. When I created an article about a new Finnish magazine V, I saw that you had already created a link to it from Emily Strange back in March 2005. Because the Finnish V has only just started, this can't refer to the same magazine. So I want to ask you for more information about the V magazine that the Emily Strange article refers to. <font color="#CC0000">J <font color="#00CC00">I <font color="#0000CC">P | Talk 11:15, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I've moved your article to V (Finnish magazine), and made V (magazine) into a disambiguation page. I really don't know too much about V myself, I just was researching Emily Strange for the article, and came across a mention of it. Thanks for letting me know, though. --  user:zanimum

My RfA
Thank you for your support in my request for adminship. I'm delighted that the RfA succeeded with a final consensus of 52/17/7, and receiving comments including having 'excellent potential to become a great moderator', and I am now an administrator. It did however only just pass, and I shall do my very best to rectify any of my errors, including the general belief that I should do more article work. If you have any concerns, or if you ever feel that I may be able to help you, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Again, thank you! Ian13/talk 19:56, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your support of my successful request for adminship. I am honoured that the nomination was supported unanimously and that the community expressed confidence that I would use the tools wisely. If you have any concerns please let me know on my talk page.

Teemu Selänne
You have all my support for having protected this article against any other move and to have protected the redirect in Teemu Selanne. Without being a sysop, I did something in the same way in Markus Naslund and Talk:Markus Naslund: I only changed REDIRECT in redirect, which is enough to make impossible other moves from Näslund to Naslund (without help of any admin).

Because Masterhatch said recently in Talk:Teemu Selänne that "The admin who move protected this page abused his powers and should have his admin powers taken away.", you could send me a message if this user would launch a "desysop vote" against you, so that I can vote for you. :D Hégésippe | ±Θ± 05:22, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

RfA/Christopherlin
Thanks for your support-a-gogo on my recent RfA. It didn't quite make it through this time (22/11/8), but there will probably be another. I hope to keep your -a-gogo support. --Christopherlin 17:10, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your support in my RfA
Just wanted to drop a quick note — nothing fancy! — to say thanks for your vote of confidence in my recent request for adminship. As you might have noticed it was unsuccessful; most objections related to my lack of experience. While I disagree that nearly 4000 edits, whether spread over two months or ten, constitutes a lack of experience, I respect the vote and will try again at a later date. I'm disappointed that I won't be able to help out in the meantime as much as I could with admin access, but again I appreciate your support and hope I'll have it the next time I am nominated. &rArr; BRossow T/C 18:52, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Kill the Prez
Kill the Prez has been proposed for deletion. If you feel like improving it, could you provide some more context? I'm a little confused as to what fiction it's supposed to be from. NickelShoe 02:25, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Amiga
Hi, JIP. Your comments on the talk page echo my sentiments exactly... we need to cut down the article length, but what do we call the new articles? I've created a new article 'Amiga software piracy', and I've added some of my recent work to 'Amiga demos', which at least un-stubs that article. I propose moving the emulation of Mac and PC to its own article, but I'd like to know what you think. - Richardcavell 07:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

My RfA
I'm leaving this macrophage, a particularly hungry white blood cell on your talk page, I just finished a rewrite of its article and realized they're not so different from administrators, as they keep their surroundings clean, doing away with anything that's not supposed to be there... Anyway, with that short lecture on cell biology done with, I'd like to thank you for your vote on my RfA, which passed with (49/2/0), I'll do my best to not let you down, and if you see me heading towards a common newbie mistake, please nudge me in the right direction :) -- O bli (Talk) ? 20:44, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Commodore International
Hi, JIP. I modified Commodore International to include further chronology of Commodore's bankruptcy. I have all the old Amiga magazines and all my information is directly from the Managing Director of Commodore and the software developers, so I'm pretty happy with it. See what you think. - Richardcavell 08:43, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
