Why?
Why do you insist on restarting the userbox wars? Thats what your policy will do. I Lov  E Plankton 18:48, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * For one thing, the userbox wars are far from over. For second, unless one uniform policy regarding them is established, they will continue. My project aims as cutting it once and for all. No more WP:DRV/U, simply because the community says no to political/religious/etc userboxes in Template: namespace. No more TfD's on them, because they're (with few useful exceptions) no longer templates. I hope that clarifies and thank you for your attention on this matter. I'd like the policy reviewed before putting it officially for discussion. Also, I'd like further matters discussed on the policy's talk page, for the sake of greater visibility. Misza 13 T C 19:00, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok you got me, the wars aren't over. We do need a uniform policy, and If you don't mind I would like to discuss the policy further on it's talk page. I  Lov  E Plankton 20:27, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey, I think it's good. Instead of having things like This user hates topic X or This user loves topic X you can just make a userbox that says This user is interested in topic X.-- The  i  kiro  id  (talk) (Help Me Improve) 22:49, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

A public appeal to stop the fighting.
I am not your enemy and I'd like you to stop attacking me so that we can resolve this like adults. Think about what you're doing: We've been friends here for a while. We've helped each other out, been kind to each other, is this really the route you want to go?

However, if you keep attacking me, I'll have no choice but to ask for a block on you. WP:NPA is a policy of this site, and cannot be blatantly disregarded whenever you feel like it.

Please consider what you're doing. It's wrong to attack others. Please realize that the other person in a conflict has thoughts and feelings, even if you can't see them. —   nathanrd o tcom (Got something to say? Say it.) 17:30, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * There's incivility on both sides. Computerjoe 's talk 17:33, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * He was incivil before and apologised. Now he's incivil again. A second apology will mean nothing (if he's really sorry, he wouldn't have been incivil after having apologised for being incivil some weeks ago. An apology is supposed to mean something). However, if he admits he made a mistake, that's some progress. But how will I know he won't fall back into the same pattern of attacking again and do it a third time? His word is meaningless to me now. (I realize Wikipedia is not a crystal ball). — [[Image:Flag_of_Ottawa%2C_Ontario.svg|20px]] [[Image:Flag of Ontario.svg|20px]] [[Image:Flag of Canada.svg|20px]] nathanrd o tcom (Got something to say?

 * Threatening for blocks to be made is not the way to go. Ian13/ talk 21:08, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

After the above ("His word is meaningless to me now.") and after being threatened on IRC, I see no reason why I should assume good faith on Nathan's side and attempt further mediation. I also don't know why out of the entrire Esperanza I am being singled out as his greatest enemy. But, as follows my previous statement, I don't want to know. Misza 13 T C 17:46, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes
Hi, couldn't help but notice you've been voting delete on a lot of userbox review templates. Not trying to votestack, but what gives? Regards, --D-Day(Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?) 11:59, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, if you take a look at the "New messages" trick above and actually follow the link, things should become clearer. What I'd like to have is a policy that governs the userboxes and prevents the waste of Template: space for generally unhelpful (to the Project) stuff. If it looks the same before and after subst:, then why don't do it and help the servers? I noticed a similar policy being written by expansion of WP:CSD. Did you notice T2? That's some new stuff. Misza 13 T C 12:07, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that T2 is taking no prisoners. That's why I backed out the userbox debates. Your proposed policy looks good, I'll definitely support it when voting begins. --D-Day(Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?) 12:47, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Questions:(Reply at my talk page)
I'm actually running a survey but Tony sees it as spamming. So here it is: (You'll be the last person I'll ask)

'''Question 1. Are you an Administrator?'''
 * Not yet.

'''Question 2a. If you are when did you become an administrator?'''

'''Question 2b. If you're not has anyone nominated you to become one?'''
 * Not yet, but some have proposed that I should run (on IRC mainly).

'''Question 3. Would you like to become an administrator someday?'''
 * Yes, I would. My schedule plans an Editor review by the end of May and an RfA at least a month later.

Prettifying.
I'm just here to say, you did a good job in "prettifying" my "I drop this RfC" comment in the RfC. Kudos. (No, don't give me that suspicious look, you really did do a good job :-) - Nathan 14:49, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Come back!
Please come back soon! Ian13/ talk 20:44, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Come back when you feel like you want to. Just don't leave. Computerjoe 's talk 18:37, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't worry. You won't get away from me that easy. [[Image:face-grin.svg|25px]] But I got tired (and disappointed by a few people) and have some serious exams coming soon, so I figured out it's a good time for a longer break. Misza 13 T C 19:19, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes: A New Proposal
Misza13, as you are the author of a proposal yourself, I invite you to read my essay on what should be done with the matter. Hopefully this essay (which tries to achieve a middle ground between the two sides) will become a proposal to attempt to change WP policy- because this debate is hurting Wikipedia and dividing the userbase too much. I would hope you could read my essay and comment, both on how to improve it and on how to make it into a proposal to vote to vote. Thanks! // The  True  Sora  00:45, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanx
Thanx for changing the cat. I'll fix the template. BTW, have you seen User:Ikiroid/The Gallery? I just created it this morning (well, morning in Illinois anyway).-- The ikiroid  18:39, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks. My WikiMood is now better, but real life issues will keep me stressed for almost a month yet. Misza 13 T C 20:32, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for cooling the debate off with user KAS. You did a great job. -- Xyra e l  T 19:20, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. When I saw the discussion drifting to Nathan's page, I felt like I should step in and cool things down before he gets stressed again, or at least take some possible collateral flame damage on myself. My efforts didn't however get appreciated by Tony Sidaway (see KAS' talk page). Misza 13 T C 19:24, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Not sure he meant that, but it's sorted now anyway. Thanks. -- <font color="#696969">Xyra e <font color="#696969">l  T 20:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Template help
I noticed you have a lot of detailed cool templates on your userpage. Are you good at working with esoteric templates? I need some help with Template:Infobox Writing system.--<tt><font style="background:green" color="white"> The ikiroid </tt> 13:47, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I guess I have some experience with templates (the peak of my experiments being User:Misza13/Random). I'll try to find some time. If you know what you want, I can help coding it. Misza 13 T C 14:33, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, look at the template's talkpage, that's what we're aiming for. You see, we just took the template from Template:Infobox Language and copied it, but now we want to modify it and nobody in WikiProject Writing systems knows how :P.--<tt><font style="background:green" color="white"> The ikiroid </tt> 15:15, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
