Thanks for helping
Take a Wikibreak, we hope to see you back sometime -- Tawker 06:26, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I assumed you'd be flooded with such messages and didn't have time to read each one 50 million lines through. I think these troubles will pass and the sun will come out again, so come back then :) Tawker 06:35, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Say is isn't so
I hope you don't leave. If you must go take a good wikibreak and come back when you feel like it. Breaks do a world of good. Either way we will all miss you. Take care and we hope we see you again.-- Dakota ~   °  06:24, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry you feel that you can no longer remain here. Anyway, thanks for supporting my successful request for adminship. Raven4x4x 07:41, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Hope to see you again
I regret to see that you've come to this point. Things can certainly be frustrating at times, but troubles pass. Wikipedia is better for your having been here, and I hope that you come back someday. Take care. Canderson7 (talk) 12:41, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Goodbye
If this is your decision, then I can't stop you from leaving the project. Moe, thank you for all the work you have put into the encyclopedia. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors, and hope to speak with you again. Regards, Bratsch e talk 12:51, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

We'll miss you...
Thanks for all your hard work. Rest easy; and come back and visit some day. +sj + 19:02, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I was about to say the same thing. I didn't catch on to your name change earlier, which is why I didn't reply sooner, but you will be missed! --Joann e B 21:17, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

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, and please don't leave. - Bobet 10:24, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Message on your old talk page
I noticed on my watchlist that someone left you a message on your old talk page. You'll have to view the source to see the message. -- Tantalum T  e  lluride  03:26, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: final goodbyes
Moe, thanks for your message. I'm glad you have decided to return (it seems like I am so slow in responding to messages that you've always returned by the time I get a chance to respond). But it's good to see you back. I know Wikipedia can be frustrating&mdash;it's a huge community, and of course online communication and interaction is quite impersonal. If I may be so bold, I'd like to offer a couple suggestions. First, I agree that civility is a big problem. A big problem. I don't know if people have been uncivil to you, but I've found that remaining calm and civil greatly strengthens your position; in fact, sometimes, it's almost better if the other person is rude since it so greatly weakens his position. (I'm not implying you've ever not been calm and civil.) I know you also disapproved of some people's userbox-related actions. Without making a statement on what I think should be done with user boxes, I just want to point out that of course administrator rights should not be abused, but obviously those administrators deleting the templates did not feel they were abusing their rights, and also obviously a lot of people agreed. I understand there is disagreement, but trying to see things from others' views helps mitigate bad feelings all around. I am one of those who feels that most of the userboxes are inappopriate, and even for those that are not worthy of deletion, certainly I lose respect for people that use them on their user pages. But your assumption that people disagree with specific userboxes simply because they don't apply to them is simplistic. There are many user boxes, both that apply to me and that don't, that I don't think are appropriate. For instance, I don't think templates proclaiming one's religion should exist, even for my own religion (though perhaps familiarity with a religion would be appropriate). Or similarly, although I personally do feel that Flying Spaghetti Monsterism does a much better job than "intelligent design" at explaining the discrepancy between their beliefs and the overwhelming scientific evidence, I feel that such a template is rude at best. Realize that many of these issues are more complex and more nuanced than you may realize.

I'm sorry you feel that no one listens to you. Obviously, many responded to your departure message on your userpage, but I understand your point about not listening on RfA's and such. I haven't looked at the specific situations, but just because no one explicitly refers to your comments doesn't mean that no one has read them or agrees with them. A lot of times, someone is especially eloquent and people may refer to that comment instead. Or they may refer to none at all. Or it may be that people don't listen to you. For that matter, I'm not sure my comments have much impact, either. If it stresses you, just stick to working on encyclopedia articles&mdash;that's what we're here for, after all. And again, if your comments reflect the reasoning you used on your userpage as I mentioned above, people may see it as overly simplistic or an inability to see through others' eyes. Also, reputation and credibility go along way. There are several factors involved, such as experience, quality of comments, low error rate, remaining cool and collected, civility, and so on. Everyone has editors to whom they look up. For instance, I hold User:Michael Snow, User:Jfdwolff, User:Encephalon in the highest regard; actually User:UninvitedCompany, User:Raul654, and User:SWAdair are up there too, and these are just off the top of my head. To help, I'd advise against the repeated leaving and rejoining. While you may derive some temporary pleasure from the nice comments people leave to entice you to return, overall, it hurts your credibility and reliability. There's nothing wrong with getting stressed and taking a break, but try to make it less about you. Just write that you're taking a wikibreak: you can say that things are getting stressful and you need to get away, you can write that you disagree with some recent events and would like to get away for a bit, you can write that real life has gotten busy and you need to take a break. But try to stay away from the no one listens to me or no one votes for me complaints&mdash;obviously, there are many many registered users whose comments carry much less weight than yours, and most will never be suitable administrators. Neither complaint bolsters your credibility or makes you more suitable for being an administrator. I know it's little consolation, but there is plenty to do on Wikipedia without being an administrator&mdash;I actually had no intention of pursuing it until someone offered to nominate me. You're a great user and a valuable contributor, and yes I did notice your username change, as I like to keep an eye on how you're doing. I don't think Wikipedia would fall apart without you, nor would it fall apart without me, or without most of its contributors. But you do enrich Wikipedia by your continued activity, and I'm glad you're back. I don't mean to be overly harsh, but your message implied that you wanted the truth and not any "feel-good" comments, so here it is. I would like to see you as an administrator one day, once you can work through the other emotional issues. And I'm afraid I don't particularly care for your attempt to trick people into thinking they have new messages when in fact they don't&mdash;I tend to prefer honest, upfront approaches, and I don't think I would ever support a candidate who was engaged in this sort of deception, even as a joke. Perhaps my sense of humor is less developed than that of others. Anyway, in summary, I like you and I'm glad you're sticking around. And you've obviously got a lot of fans here too. I hope things improve for you. And I hope to see you as an administrator one day. &mdash; Knowledge Seeker &#2470; 04:48, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your support of my RfA
Thank you for your support of my successful request for adminship.

User talk:70.19.66.105
Hi, I've just noticed that you edited my user page and left a warning on this IP's talk page. I appreciate your diligence, and given the previous warnings to that IP I can understand your worries, but I'd like to speak up for this editor. He or she actually made useful edits to a featured list I created and had left me a polite note regarding table formatting. I hope this incident hasn't scared away someone who wants to become a better editor. It seems that this person acted from genuine good intentions, at least where I was concerned. Regards, Durova 07:05, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, do you think you could do me a favour, revert to me on Macedonia (region). The sockpuppets are closing in... I asked Raul654 if he could see to it quicker, but that doesn't stop them edit warring. --Latinus 23:53, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

P.S. If you are interested in The Beatles, User:Lar has asked me to tag on a little note advertising the creation of a new Beatles WikiProject that we are currently setting up. Please sign up and help.

Pranks and sometimes about graphics...
Hi there :)! I just dropped by to see if I could speak to the famous # 1 Wikipediholic. First of all, would you grant me the honor of designing a graphic name thingy for you to put on your User Page? I'm not forcing it on you, but surely your greatness deserves more than a puny Word Art. Secondly, I loved the "New Message" prank; I'm stealing it. Thanks for listening to the rantings of a crazy person! --The MoP, July 29, 2024 (UTC).

About you Removing your name from the 'On Wikibreak' section
Hi, What do you mean your 'not important'? By all accounts it seems this is not a true statement of yours. For all its worth (coming from a new user...) I wish you a speedy recovery and hope you return full time.

Eh. I came here to beg and grovel for you to not leave. Happily I see that this time my efforts are unnecessary, so I'll tuck that back into my bag of tricks... Tom e rtalk 08:28, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

General business
David, you are a reasonable editor, and you know that we all contribute in our own ways, making Wikipedia work. I agree that Naconkantari, like myself, hasn't done massive article editing. However, you surely must see that the capacity in which he chooses to contribute to Wikipedia would be more effective with sysop privilleges, such as blocking and (a reliable) rollback button. From your fair opposition on the RfA page, I understand that you are concerned with lack of article editing, writing, and so forth. However, in observing Naconkantari's work at Wikipedia, it is almost silly that he doesn't have the right tools to do the best job possible, and should be able to handle persistent vandalism without an intermediary, like AIV or the sysop notice board. With the RfA going into the stretch, I hope you'll consider my points. -- Jay  (Reply)  22:12, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

RE:Graphics
I was just wondering, what did you want for your graphic? I was thinking Moe Epsilon in "glass" letters, overlaid over a starfield with some nebulae/planets/etc in it? -- M    o    P   22:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Andropolus and Macedonian876
I have blocked Andropolus indefinitely as an abusive sockpuppet. It doesn't seem to me that Macedonian876 has violated any particular Wikipedia policies (Andropolus's word is not sufficent proof of sockpuppetry), so I have simply informed him of the block and encourage him to follow Wikipedia policy in the future. I hope that this helps sort things out. Canderson7 (talk) 04:00, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I am glad...
that you decided to stay on the Wiki. Your efforts and unbiased work are needed here...don't say you'll leave again please :-)

Hello there, I'm just dropping by the rough draft; If there's anything at all you would like to be changed, feel free to tell me. Cheers! -- M    o    P   00:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * No problem, and I hope you don't mind if I plop it down in my gallery. Sorry about the shameless advertising plug, but I need to flex my graphic design muscle a bit more. Glad you like the picture though! :D -- M    o    P    E!  04:17, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * My last comment, I promise... I tried to give you a barnstar on your user page, but for some reason it won't accept my signature, in any form. I can't find any code nullifiers either; so I'm bamboozled. Hopefully you can fix that, thanks! -- M    o    P    E!  04:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Dave!
I just wanted to drop by and say hi, sweet Dave. I hope you're doing fine and feeling better than a few days ago when I was away. Thanks so much for the welcome message - as usual, you made me smile, and I really needed it. I'm doing better now, thanks God; the pain has all but passed now, and I only feel a little uncomfortable with the cast on my hand. It could have been worse, so I'm just fine and hoping to be useful once again ;) I hope to see you around asap, my dear dave, tons of kisses - as usual! ;) Phædriel  ♥ tell me - 12:07, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

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) ? 20:30, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

New Sports Wiki/Community
I noticed you were a Steelers fan. My friends and I started a sports wiki/community that you may be interested in. It uses Wikipedia's software but we made a lot of technological improvements to allow for more news, opinion articles, and better integration of sports statistics. The site is located here: http://www.armchairgm.com/. Check our NFL and Steelers section its pretty cool:

Wow, that must be long, no wonder your good at this. I would like it to be dark red and the 222 to like link to my talk page for example, User:avriette has his like aa:talk but, i want the 222 to link to it. If its too complicated, tell me and we will leave it at all dark red. Thanks. -- ) Slipknot222 23:00, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
