RFA Criteria
Hello. I was taking a look at your RFA criteria and I noticed you put an emphasis on a custom sig. Since I am one of the few regulars using the default signature, naturally I'm wondering what your motivation was to put that in your RFA criteria. Feel free to speak candidly, I won't be offended by any response. Useight (talk) 22:32, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You're the first to mention that, but I was expecting this. It will not change my !vote a ton however I like seeing that because it proves a good understanding of style in the Wiki-Language. It is the same with the userspace. I like looking at it because it shows how they manipulate the Wiki-Language. It's not a humongous deal if I they don't have much customization of it, but I feel it's like "extra credit" in an RfA. Nothing huge; nothing i'll oppose with ;-D   K50   Dude   ROCKS!   22:44, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Before RyanCross redigned my userpage, it was pretty much just text. Useight (talk) 05:00, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Meant to give this to you before

 * Thanks a lot! =D  K50  Dude   ROCKS!   01:31, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Nice TB template
I noticed your custom talkback template. Very creative! I had to compliment you on that. Inferno,  Lord of   Penguins  03:30, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! You can also see User:K50 Dude/talkback to see actually what I typed up to make it happen. It was really just a random idea I thought up a few days ago... Thanks again for the compliment! Cheers, K50 Dude  R♥CKS!   03:35, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Where did you think up your username? Inferno, Lord of Penguins sounds a little... unusual... Inferno shouldn't like penguins! =D K50 Dude  R♥CKS!   03:37, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes!!! I got the talkback message on my talk page! Anyways, I wanted a username that was "Lord of Penguins", but I thought it needed a name. So, instead of something like "Rick, Lord of Penguins" or "Giraffe, Lord of Penguins" I chose a name that contradicts the cold habitats (and ice cold souls) of the penguins - Inferno. Maybe I'm crazy, but either explanation explains my username - I think. Inferno,   Lord of   Penguins  03:47, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Also - Happy birthday! Inferno,   Lord of   Penguins  03:49, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Mabye you are crazy... IDK. Thanks again. K50 Dude  R♥CKS!   03:50, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Pixel cake
Have a pixel cake! Inferno,  Lord of   Penguins  03:52, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * YUM! Thanks again. K50 <font color="#C154C1">Dude  <font color="#DA3287">R♥CKS!   03:54, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Might I ask how you ate the cake? Seems you would have to go through a screen and likely fry yourself. Enlighten me. Inferno,   Lord of   Penguins  03:58, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I used the force to bring it out of the screen. <font face="Tahoma"><font color="#F400A1">K50 <font color="#C154C1">Dude  <font color="#DA3287">R♥CKS!   04:00, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

CSD Essay G7
Your explanation is faulty, the editor asking for deletion doesn't only need to be the principle editor of the page, there's an additional provision that there shouldn't be any significant edits by anyone else. (This to prevent people from requesting deletion of everything they wrote if they decide to throw a tantrum and leave) If anyone else edited a page in some significant way, then the page has potential and shouldn't go despite the wishes of the original creator unless flawed in some other unsalvagable way. - Mgm|(talk) 10:41, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing that up; i've changed it. <font face="Tahoma"><font color="#F400A1">K50 <font color="#C154C1">Dude  <font color="#DA3287">R♥CKS!   15:54, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

RFA/astantine-210
Even though it's officially archived, please modify the indent of ''But why would you be practicing vandalism with an admin template when you aren't an admin but in your RfA you said you were going to revert vandalism? I find that a bit fishy...switched to normal support though.'' so it's clear you aren't replying to me. You'll have to use an edit summary that discourages summary undoing :). Thanks. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  11:23, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm a bit confused by the question...what do you mean by "You'll have to use an edit summary that discourages summary undoing?" <font face="Tahoma"><font color="#F400A1">K50  <font color="#C154C1">Dude  <font color="#DA3287">R♥CKS!   16:20, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * People tend to automatically revert edits to archived discussion. If you use an edit summary like "post-archive minor change to correct indent - see User_talk:K50_Dude, please do not revert" and mark the change minor, that should be good enough.  By the way, I'll keep your page watchlisted for at least a week, there's no need to notify me I have a reply. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  16:36, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I only notify people once anyway ;-) thanks for the help again! <font face="Tahoma"><font color="#F400A1">K50 <font color="#C154C1">Dude  <font color="#DA3287">R♥CKS!   00:16, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Requests for adminship/Wadester16
Just thought i'd ask if you've re-read this RfA recently. Your Moral Support vote seems to be sticking out a little given that this RfA seems to stand a reasonable chance of passing at the moment; and there is also a valid query about your vote. Just thought you might wish to take another look at it; apologies if you're aware of what's going on and felt your original comment was still applicable! ~ mazca  t 23:36, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I know... There was a power outage all night last night here in Portland so I haven't checked it. Thanks for letting me know about it... I'll do it right now! Cheers, <font face="Tahoma"><font color="#F400A1">K50 <font color="#C154C1">Dude  <font color="#DA3287">R♥CKS!   00:21, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries. :) ~ mazca  t 07:49, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

An exciting opportunity to get involved!
As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. -  Trevor  MacInnis   contribs  04:59, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
