Indigenous peoples of North America Portal
Congratulations on having this portal promoted – it is a fine portal indeed. Also, it was the most discussed candidate yet (no doubt due to its being linked from your RfA). I noticed you've fallen ill too. Get well soon, --cj | talk 08:17, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

My dear Sharon, get well soon, okay? Hope you're much better...-- Tdxi an  g   Jimbo's 40th Birthday!  13:12, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Another utterly superfluous "get well soon" header
Hello Phaedriel. I have just a few little matters that I must get off my chest. Firstly, congratulations on your Adminship. I hope you are enjoying and will enjoy your new AdminPowersTM - you certainly deserve them. Secondly (though related to the first point), I noticed that you are yet to give me a thank-you card. I see you uploaded one: Image:RfathxCelestianpower.jpg, but you failed link it to my talk page. I just assumed that you forgot me, like everyone else does *sniff*, but it'd be nice to get it on my talk all the same :).

Thirdly, please get well ever so soon. You don't deserve to be ill in the slightest, and we need you not to be. It's your duty not to catch colds, since you're now a custodian.

Thanks and the kindest of regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 15:13, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Not meaning to be rude, but I've been wanting to talk to you, and you keep signing on and signing back out afterwards :( Will (Take me down to the Paradise City) 01:38, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

A smile for you...


has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!

Congrats!
I know its late, but congrats on becoming an Admin! It's the least we could have done due to all the great contribs you have made to the site. Karrmann 02:19, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

A "Hi there" message
Hi Phaedriel, we haven't talk for awhile, so I thought I'd just leave you a "Hi there :)" message.

Sorry to see you're so busy right now (it's not good for the wiki to be without you baby), but I hope that, other than being worked off your feet, things are going good.

I know your backlog is crazy, so don't worry about replying to this message here. You've got enough work to do ;)

Keep well. Th ε Halo Θ 12:14, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of Buy4Now
Hi

That deletion was not a CSD G4, primarily as the content was not "substantially identical copy" of the original article. As you're an admin, you should be able to compare content. As goes its notability, etc, thats for an AfD to decide - and as the old one was on a majorly different article, CSD doesn't apply. I'd appreciate if you'd restore the article, and AfD it if you so wish. --Kiand 04:23, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * She may not get your message right away. You can ask any admin to restore it, or you could take it straight to Deletion Review yourself. I looked at a few of the deleted versions and do agree that ther does seem to be some difference in the content but the most recent version I looked at didn't assert notability. You can let me know what you'd like to do if you want, I'm an admin and can undelete and list it for you. ++Lar: t/c 14:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I've returned
Yes, I've come back from my wikibreak relaxed & ready to go. Just thought I'd drop by to let you know I was back. I see you've gone mad & created a bunch more of those "soundtrack of wiki-like" things ;). I may be posting on them soon... muahahaaa...

I don't know if it's a good idea semi-protecting your user talk page however. Your fame & kindness preceeds you; what I'm thinking is, is what if a new user, looking for advice from an admin such as yourself, tries to post here for advice? They might be forced to come to one of the other, less likeable admins, or worse, a non-admin! Anyway, hope you've had a good day etc. See you later... :) !Spawn Man 23:59, 22 August 2006 (UTC)!

Sḵwxwú7mesh-ulh Uxwumixw
I know, I can't pronounce it either; it means Squamish Nation and someone named OldManRivers moved it freom Squamish Nation to this; and bypassed a similarly-named page, which apparently wasn't correct for not having an accent here or there, and left that other page blank (I just made it a redirect). Pls see my comments on his talk page, and, well, we kind of have this problem in BC as most of the "cultural correct" names tend to be very remote in form/appearance from how the peoples are known in English; some are straightforward and we're used to dealing with them - Nuu-chah-nulth, Nuxalk, Kwakwaka'wakw, Sto:lo, St'at'imc (Sto:lo, St'at'imc and Nuxalk aren't "correct" though as they're missing accents).My main issue here is expecting English speakers to use non-English names; does someone speaking Sḵwxwú7mesh-ulh snichim say "English" when speaking Sḵwxwú7mesh-ulh snichim, for example, or do they say, as in Sto:lo, a phrase meaning "language of the hungry people"?You're the first admin name associated with the Indigenous project I saw this morning so I landed it in your busy lap.If there's someone better to broker/abrogate this pls forward it; after my coffee(s) I'll try and put a piece on it re the Indigenous project's talk page.Skookum1 17:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I think you may be waiting a while to get a reply from Sharon. It seems to me that on the English Wikipedia that's not a reasonable name for an article - we don't use Japanese characters after all. There's also a mess of redirects which need to be sorted out. I'm tempted to revert it. One thing puzzles me and that's where the edit history has got to... shows the page move as the first entry. Any ideas anyone? Lar? --kingboyk 17:56, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Gotta love the Spam
Hey there Phaedriel! Been going through and cleaning up some spam stuff dicovered in an AfD. Myself, along with Crunchy Numbers, have been having to clean up what Brian Radwell has done. His editing contribs are nonsense spam such as this. I pretty sure he is the same person as Likes2draw, who has almost no history. Users contribs are here. I’m not sure on process for getting something on the notice board. It looks like violations in WP:SPAM and WP:SOCK. He has re-created deleted articles under different titles from what I understand. Could you help me not attack this user, but just get him to stop? Thanks so much. :-) JungleCat   talk / contrib  17:28, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Polls:
Hi. I'm just sending out a message for a new study I will be undertaking soon. It will involve surveys & polls to gather information & trends of editors on Wikipedia & other subjects. The data gathering will involve yourself recieving a questionaire on your talk page for you to fill out. I will then collect your questionaire & combine it with data from other editors. If you would like to be a part of this experiment, or know of someone who does, place a "Yes" or "No" below this message. Remember, it's only for fun & you can choose not to fill out all or parts of your questionaire once they arrive. Have a nice day... -- Spawn Man 05:36, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Sacagawea
I know your time is limited, but since I spent a fair amount of time on expanding and referencing the poor skimpy article on Sacagawea this week, I thought I'd bring it to your attention in case you'd like to look it over and offer any suggestions on improving it further.Thanks!&mdash; Catherine\talk 16:22, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

HI
What do you think of this video? According to your User page it seems like you feel very 'oppressed.' — [ Mac Davis ] (talk) ( Desk | Help me improve )


 * Mac, this video approaches a sensitive subject with inflammatory language.Also, your use of quotation marks around the word "oppressed" seems to suggest that you are challenging what you see as Sharon's view of herself.If Sharon were around, I'm sure she would know a great way to respond to your post with lots of positive energy and wikilove.But she isn't around right now, and a lot of editors watch this talk page, and a lot of those editors feel strongly about supporting Sharon.I'm concerned that a post like this could begin an argument that might have little positive impact on the encyclopedia.Have you considered trying to contact Sharon off-wiki with your question?--Allen 07:12, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Did you watch the entire video? No, I haven't, I'm sorry to not see any future arguments among multiple users. Thanks for the advice. The quotes were my way of questioning how she felt, because I am not sure. I didn't mean to be third-personly insulting her, I meant to ask her what she thought of the points raised in the video. — [ Mac Davis ] (talk) ( Desk | Help me improve )
 * Thanks for the elaboration.And yes, I did watch the whole video.--Allen 16:58, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing this very interesting video to my attention, dear Mac. Although I really feel like punched in the stomach after seeing it, and even more to have my feelings towards my race and our past questioned right here, truly, thank you. Now I'm really not in the mood to go in depth about my thoughts on the subject right now, so if you excuse me, dear, I think I'll give you my thoughts at you talk page someday, k?

Chadbryant
Hello, since I've come to you in the past then I will come to you agan. This user Chadbryant is a menace. He will make up his own rules and apply them to the pages he wants. He vandalizes articles by removing images and various other things constantly. He thinks he is following policies on Wikipedia, but actually he is making up his own. He has 4 reverts on the article Triple H and I dont have time to report him. So, if you could consult this user, it would be very appreciate. Thanks. --Mikedk9109 23:25, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Racism on user page
Hi,

I don't mean to be a jerk, but I was a bit offended by some of the apparently racist statements on your userpage, especially "It is feeling the stares of all the whites in any public place you walk into [emphasis mine]."Though I understand the staring, and the underlying biggotry it indicates, is probably all too common, and I fully support making people aware of this no doubt hurtful problem, I don't think all white people can be accused of doing that.I won't make a big deal out of it, but I'd appreciate it if you'd tone down the statement.

Thanks.Grindingteeth 02:58, 18 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I see your point, and I also don't want to be a jerk, but since that is a quote from a web site, it should probably be left alone. Also, even if it was her saying that, I would stand with her, because I believe too many American Indians are being (for lack of a better term, and I don't mean this in a physical sense) abused too often here where they have lived since the Tower of Babel—or whatever you believe they came from. Now, am I part American Indian? No, I'm fully Irish for the record, but I said that to show "the world" so to speak that I'm not just jumping on the bandwagon, defending my people because they're my people. — $PЯINGεrαgђ  03:16, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I think you're reading far too much into it Grindingteeth. First, I'm not sure whether you do this or not since I don't know you at all, but I'd like to ask--how often do you call white people on their racist statements? Because unless you do that as well, I don't think you should be criticizing a Native American of racism, especially for something as trivial as that.
