starting the morning with a laugh
thanks for that! Funny, that comment was only up on my talk page for a couple of minutes before I decided to erase it ... LOL ... btw good work on Theon of Smyrna! Antandrus (talk) 1 July 2005 15:05 (UTC)

Unblocking?
Hi there! I noticed you unblocked a hoard of alleged sockpuppets I blocked this afternoon... would you mind explaining why? If you look at their edit history, you'll see that they are rather suspicious (e.g. all edits are to VFD, or absent for a long time and returning for VFD voting). They don't look anywhere near to valid accounts to me. Yours, Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; July 1, 2005 22:44 (UTC)
 * I just found your comment on AN/I so I responded there. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; July 1, 2005 22:46 (UTC)

User:Talrias
Thanks for the note - I didn't even know he was up for Rfa - but I've now voted! :) A curate's egg 3 July 2005 17:26 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your vote on my RFA - it's great to have your support. Talrias (t | e | c) 9 July 2005 12:32 (UTC)

"Merge" template voting
I've set up two separate votes on the "merge" templates' discussion page. One pertains to the templates' wording, and the other pertains to the templates' visual design. Users may vote on neither, either or both of these issues.

Please note that I've posted this invitation on the talk pages of everyone who has expressed a preference for either wording and/or visual design. &mdash;Lifeisunfair 3 July 2005 19:48 (UTC)

Thanks!
Hi Mindspillage, thanks for the positive feedback and support of my RfA! I intend to responsibly use my new admin powers, and I appreciate the vote of confidence. --Spangineer (háblame)  July 4, 2005 03:59 (UTC)

Category:Women classical composers
Greetings! I see you recently used Pearle to merge this category after its CfD listing. While I don't have any problems with its deletion, merging with Category:Classical composers means that a category intended to be a parent only to other categories is now populated with names. (I didn't notice until things on my watchlist changed; don't know why I wasn't watching the women composers category: oversight on my part!) All of the categorized female composers should already belong to its subcategories by era and nationality. Would there be any problem with using the bot to just remove Category:Classical composers from these articles entirely? Thanks, Mindspillage (spill yours?) 14:10, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * FYI, Mindspillage added the same to my talk page because I was the admin who closed the discussion. As I said there, I don't have a problem with her suggestion.  --Kbdank71 17:43, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Oops. Pearle is now working on fixing this now. -- Beland 4 July 2005 19:02 (UTC)

User:Convene
Hi, in unblocking this user, you said he was "just a member of a trolling group." Was that just a guess, or did you have evidence of his identity? I've revived the VfD because it appears to me to be a perfectly good faith deletion listing. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 8 July 2005 00:20 (UTC)

Uncle G rfa
Hi - I thought you'd like to know Uncle G has accepted his nomination on WP:RFA. -- Rick Block (talk) July 9, 2005 17:12 (UTC)

Was this VFD ever closed?
Votes for deletion/Hornby high school was started back in April. (April 26th). The only thing that currently links to it is Hornby high school. It's possible the VFD list from that day has been deleted (do they get deleted?) or nomination was never completed even though there are about 4 votes. Could you check this for me, please? I think you have more experience with these things. RJFJR 16:38, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * To me it appears that this debate never got listed on the VFD log. Therefore, I have listed it now. Sjakkalle (Check!)  12:24, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the immediate feedback - pleased you like it! Yes it has been on the back-burner for some weeks, but I thought it was about time more pairs of eyes had a look at it. :-) --RobertG &#9836; talk 16:39, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Socks
Hey, I keep forgetting I'm your sockpuppet; sorry for editing independently for a few moments. Hope you have fun in Northern California! Try to go to the Musical Offering in Berkeley if you get a chance (it has an amazing collection of books on music... at least it used to). I have to work next week alas ... Antandrus (talk) 01:25, 15 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Oh, and if you are around reading your talk page at all ... here:   As always, one of my favorite editors puts it so well.  Have a good trip! Antandrus  (talk) 21:04, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

You're Welcome
You're welcome. I guess we all have to go through the passage of our user page being vandalized. Hmm, I wonder when mine will get vandalised? (not that I want it to be, of course). Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 19:06, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Kudos to Kat
Excellent job skippering the AdminShip. I read your policy and it is an Excellent one. With respect, Redwolf24 05:37, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Could you add the Speedy deletion warning?
I noticed you commented in support for adding a warning about speedy deletion to the Mediawiki:Newarticletext - I've posted a possible text incorporating the suggestions given in the discussion - would you copy it into the page? The discussion seems to have died down, and consenus seems to be that it would be good to add. JesseW 21:31, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for voting in my RfA; I promise I'll wield my sacred mop with care. If you ever need me for anything, you know where to find me. Thanks again! -- Essjay ·  Talk 15:20, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

Hey, good to see you here again! Did you have a good time on the left coast? It's been busy busy... but I just wrote a bit on the great The People United Will Never Be Defeated! ... wish I could just write a wildly POV article about how much I love that piece ... Happy watchlistchecking! Antandrus (talk) 04:56, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Sango's RfA
Hi, Mindspillage.Thanks for supporting my RfA! I hope to live up to your praise as an admin and make good use of the mop. Sango 123  01:38, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

P.S. And I still owe you a thank you for the quick vandalism revert on my talk page. :)

VFD
Hi,

I was a bit curious about the definition of "consensus" for a VFD vote. In particular, John Lilburne Research Institute.
