Cross-project apology
I'd just like to apologise for my edit to the discussion you recently started on meta regarding Jimbo's user rights. I have little to no experience editing or viewing the project and whatever my opinion of the discussion I was not in a position to comment and my contribution was not helpful. Regards, Guest9999 (talk) 01:39, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about it, you weren't at all unhelpful in the thread.  Majorly  talk  09:56, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Pillows
Pillow is on my watchlist as it occasionally receives vandalism and doesn't seem to be watchlisted by many other people. I have learned that there exists some difference in terminology between the US and the UK regarding what qualifies as a pillow, and so I've written it into the first paragraph. In America, the term cushion generally only covers things intended to be sat on, and pillow covers everything else, even the little square decorative things you put on sofas and the toilet-seat-shaped ones you wrap around your neck on the airplane. In other words, in the US, File:Cushion.jpg is a pillow, and in the UK, perhaps along with the other Commonwealth countries, it's a cushion. I would say that there is no right or wrong answer to whether the image should be as it is; personally I liked the article the way I left it because File:Cushion.jpg looks more visually appealing to me than that old unsleepable Vrba Postelja bed. I have lots of pillows of all types in my home and could probably contribute some images of my own if need be. Soap Talk/Contributions 16:23, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Then assure that it is actually a pillow everywhere, not just the US.  Majorly  talk  16:33, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Crat stats
Are you still interested in this: User:NoSeptember/crat stats?  — Rlevse • Talk  • 00:17, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, but please don't wait for me to update it. I have a lot of work on right now - 2 assignments due in at the end of the month, another end of Feb, a seminar to prepare for, and a placement to prepare for in Feb. I'll update it when I can, but anyone can update it.  Majorly  talk  00:20, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Deleting questions
Not that I plan to make any sort of deal about it, but regarding this - I agree with removal of the first one, but disagree with removing Mr. IP's. Probing the intellect of the candidate and their possible solutions to problems is valid. Not something I would do, and makes adminship a much more daunting office for which to run, but I think we're all entitled to our standards. Bottom line - I don't think it was frivolous. That's it, just my two cents. Tan  &#124;  39  22:04, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Your post to RfA
Hey Majorly,

Regarding your post to RfA: I am a firm beleiver in second chances.--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon CSD Survey Results 23:21, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) While we don't always agree (in fact I think we rarely agree) you do have my respect. I never expected the events to happen that happened that lead to your stepping down.  In fact, I was kind of caught off guard because prior to that I never thought we really had a problem... I found myself caught in a fight I didn't see coming.  I felt that you held some animosity towards me that I was unaware of until the very end (when you started making some unexpected pot shots on me)---I don't know what fueled it, but whatever it was, trust me when I say, I had no malace towards you.
 * 2) If you ever decide to run again, assuming you keep to this path, I would not be opposed to being one of your nominators. Of course, I'd have to vet you like I do all of my candidates, but you were a respected admin... and I believe you could be again.
 * 3) As I've said before, being an admin isn't about the buttons, it is about the attitude, and the attitude that I've seen from you this past week or two has been one of an admin. It is one that I respect, and I'm starting to see what we've lost when you were forced to step down.

Happy (belated) New Year
Sorry I didn't get your message until now, I haven't logged on for weeks (as you can see from my contribs history) due to having tons of work to do. Happy New Year to you too. WaltonOne 22:15, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Are you a glutton for punishment?:) Be great if you could chip in...mmmm, chips, yum. <b style="color:#FF8C00;">Sticky</b> <b style="color:#FF8C00;">Parkin</b> 02:51, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * See if you can advertise it. Post notes to the people on Meetup/UK and also, send an email to the UK mailing list (if you aren't on it, just say and I will.)  Majorly  talk  02:54, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not on it. Ooh, that would be very helpful, please do.:)  Say it's still at the planning stage as regards the date, although 21st feb is proposed by myself:)  But if people want it later in the year, after the Mancs meet, that's fine too. <b style="color:#FF8C00;">Sticky</b> <b style="color:#FF8C00;">Parkin</b> 19:09, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

 * People are aware of it, I think you just need to get a date set, that's not too close to the Manc one.  Majorly  talk  21:32, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: meetup
I didn't realise that the mancs one was finalized yet. I can only attend one due to financial reasons, and I assume the Manchester one will probably be cheaper, so I'll probably just go to that one. <font face="Trebuchet MS">&mdash; <font color="#5A3696">neuro <font color="#5A3696">(talk) 20:30, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

I thought this justified it though: "People who leave a goodbye message on their talk page or elsewhere, and then actually refrain from editing for at least two weeks are likely to have left permanently and may be added to the list". -- Menti  sock  10:53, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * He's not missing though...  Majorly  talk  11:00, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * But there are many retired users on that list. -- Menti  sock  11:03, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Um... so? Any clarification? -- Menti  sock  09:11, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The people who have explicitly retired aren't missing. They let us know they were going somewhere. Missing sort of implies we don't know what happened to them. That's not the case with WJBscribe.  Majorly  talk  12:40, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it does imply that but what about the likes of Zoe etc. who left a message on her userpage saying she'll leave? She was still added. And what about the sentence I quoted above? Or this might seem inconsistent... -- Menti  sock  09:31, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, in my opinion, Zoe isn't missing, she (or he as it were) simply left. Zoe actually did come back very briefly last year. I think the page should reflect those missing, not those simply retired. Perhaps a new page could be made. If I'm wrong though, feel free to add WJB back, though I do disagree.  Majorly  talk  15:09, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh, Zoe could have been male? Well, the account only seemed compromised. In any case I think consistency for now would be good. They were actually discussing it. -- Menti  sock  15:21, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Ahh, right, he said it when he was leaving and Brion waited until the block expired (and then some time), to de-crat him.  MBisanz  talk 23:15, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Brion didn't decrat him, Datrio did.  Majorly  talk  18:04, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
