Personal Attacks
Where did I make a personal attack? 76.19.13.202 01:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Here. I thought that the sarcasm was rude. Cheers, PTO 01:50, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It might be rude, but it's not a personal attack. However, in the same thread you have a guy repeatedly telling people saying things he doesn't like to 'shut up'. Double standard, much? 76.19.13.202 01:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * We're trying to keep this whole mess under control. I'm sorry if I missed a guy. Just please try to make your comments just a little nicer, OK? Cheers, PTO 01:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't have to be nice. I'm not calling him a jerkface or an assbutt. I'm just suggesting that my credentials (PHD in Badass from Awesometown U, if you forgot. GO AWESOMETOWN PIRATES! WOO WOO ARR!) are as reliable as anyone else's on Wikipedia! So, hey be cool in the future, dogg. (While we're on the subject of vandalism? Consider that Essjay specifically requests that no one remove comments from his discussion page. So the only vandalism is from the people who are removing comments. 76.19.13.202 01:59, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * That's why I didn't remove your comment. I just warned you for it. Just don't do it again, please? PTO 02:00, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * A personal attack? Hogwash and humbug. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cloveoil (talk • contribs) 03:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC).

My bad
I had just logged back on to apologize and saw your message :-\

No worries, it's me who should be apologizing for being so brash and rude. I only hope you don't take it personally, I was just (unfairly) annoyed because I was editing and you were "in the way" (from my overcritical POV at the time) so I kind of snapped. I can get high-strung in these sorts of high-drama situation and my comments usually come off as more of an insult than I intend them to, so sorry! And don't worry, I won't go over three reverts. In fact, I'm done reverting on that article for the night.

Besides, I can't blame you for not AGFing, I was editing in a way that made me not approachable so I probably deserved it. Milto LOL pia 06:07, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

That's a startling new use of "IAR"
Please don't ever do that again. Thanks. - David Gerard 22:24, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Your section wasn't helping at all. We're trying to get somewhere with this RFC. PTO 22:27, 2 March 2007 (UTC)


 * That depends what one regards as "helping." It's utterly unrelated to conventional RFC format; it is in fact a lynching party. That my comment didn't help that was rather the point - David Gerard 22:31, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The fact that your point was that the comment didn't help is precisely the reason you should distance yourself from this. There are quite a few people who want this RFC to be more than a piñata party. PTO 22:38, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Essjay
Personally I thought I was fairly clear on what content of his I was criticizing. Calling him shit for brains was an afterthought. Kade 05:36, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * But it was a personal attack nonetheless. Please, don't do that again. Cheers, PTO 05:42, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:RFCU and clerks
Greetings! A recent change has been made in the clerking system at Requests for checkuser. There are no longer any obstacles to editors who wish to help out in this areas, as the standby list has now been deprecated. You were listed as a volunteer on the standby list before it was deprecated. If you are still interested in helping out in this area, please: I am not involved with the checkuser system. I am acting only to inform you of this change. Thank you. --Durin 14:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Consider adding yourself to the list of active clerks at Requests for checkuser/Clerks.
 * In helping, please make sure you follow the instructions at Requests for checkuser/Procedures as it is very important to the process there to follow these instructions for smooth operation.
 * Please remember "Trust between the clerks and the checkusers is essential. Clerks who persistently make problematic comments on requests or otherwise violate decorum may be asked by the checkusers to cease contributing here."
 * Add Requests for checkuser/Clerks/Noticeboard to your watchlist to stay up to do date on the latest communications happening regarding this role.
 * "Be aware that this position is rather dull and carries no particular prestige; status-seeking will not be looked upon kindly."

Milton article
What you did was mostly bad and pointless. Citing Kyle Farnsworth was good, but why delete the image? It helps the article. No one would benefit from its deletion. Also, why delete the student traditions section. That section is good. It adds information about the school. There's nothing wrong with that. Just leave it like it is. Also- leave John Dewberry in the famous alumni section. Randomfrenchie 02:48, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Not Recommended...
but, highly useful. I tried to PM you on IRC. Real96 01:48, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Heh, I'm such an idiot. Thanks for helping me out. PTO 01:53, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

D'Oh!
Sorry about you having to do this. I certainly didn't do this on purpose, I just need to learn to read. (Nuggetboy) (talk) (contribs) 02:52, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Not a problem. After all, thats what us clerks are here for :). Cheers, PTO 03:07, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
for the intervention. Its been a long day for me today here..... --ZimZalaBim (talk) 03:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem. I'm sorry you had to deal with that guy and the anon linkspammer today... Just give me a shout if you need anything done! Cheers, PTO 03:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

re:WP:RFCU move to non-compliant
Please read the Procedures on WP:RFCU. It clearly states "Do not specify more than one summary letter." As a clerk, I had to move American Brit's case to the non-compliant section.-- Ed  ¿Cómo estás? 00:21, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Request for Arbitration
Thank you for commenting at Requests for comment/Darwinek 2‎. Even though this dispute is only a few hours old, I feel his responses, both on the RFC page and on the talk page, demonstrate that he lacks the judgement needed to be an administrator, at least regarding topics related to Czech nationalism and ethnicity. I have filed a request for arbitration; you may wish to comment there. Thatcher131 20:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up, but I don't think that I'll leave any comments until/unless the case gets accepted. There isn't a whole lot I can add to this, anyway. However, if it is accepted, I'll be sure to help out at the Workshop and Evidence pages. Cheers, PTO 21:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

A star for you
You've killed Esperanza, almost killed Concordia, all of the Sandbox subpages, and now this? Wikipedia members are not employees.



Well said. &mdash; $PЯING  rαgђ  14:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you! It always makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when I say something good... Cheers, PTO 21:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Your RfA opening sentence
Your RfA opening sentence made me realise that I used the exact same opening sentence for both my RfA and RfB. Yours was similar to mine... but mine were identical! That's odd. Good luck, by the way :-) --Deskana (talk)  00:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow, I'm actually laughing pretty hard right now. I changed it at the last minute from "I'm going off the deep end", too... Cheers, PTO 00:07, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Impersonator
Hello. Thanks for blocking [User:Han Rachel] on Simple English Wikipedia. I browsed through the IP block list and some vandal (possibly a "Kate McAuliffe" vandal) impersonated both me and my sister. I knew that it was not my sister because I checked the contributions of this user and found an edit that no one in my family would do.  Amos Han  Talk 00:22, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Not a problem. We've had a long term vandal there who was obsessed with a girl named "Kate McAuliffe", so the name stuck. PTO 00:30, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I know. I know who that long term vandal is. He is one of my classmates at my school. He is such a crazy person. I do agree that he is extremely obsessed with Kate McAuliffe. All I hear him say is "Sean McAuliffe has a beautiful sister" and "Wikipedia has a crush on Kate McAuliffe" and things like that. Hopefully he will stop doing that, now that I am extremely tired of hearing that.  Amos Han  Talk 01:03, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

RCU
You asked me to choose one single code letter in 2 RCU I made,. I fulfilled your request, please do the check. Thanks.--MariusM 08:09, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * One has been declined, and the other completed. PTO 20:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Your RfA
Hi PullToOpen. I'll never place another inscrutable joke on an RfA again. Sorry. Xiner (talk, email) 15:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No worries. I understood it the first time I saw it :). PTO 20:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
