 Re: 2000
I won't even think about accepting a nomination until after 2500 though. —  $PЯINGεrαgђ 15:09, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I might know what you're thinking, although if I'm not, never mind. ;) Although a few more (main) edits would probably be well-recieved. —  $PЯINGεrαgђ 02:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Request for adminship
On this occasion, your request for adminiship was not successful. I hope that you will continue your useful contributions and consider standing again in future. Remember that a majority of those commenting did support your request, and many of those opposing simply want to see more of your contributions! Warofdreams talk 16:08, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Ouch. :( Better luck next time. At least you didn't get butchered. --tjstrf 18:03, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry. Goof luck next time. Michael 19:38, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Remember, hang on, hang in, hang out, and hang loose! :P —  $PЯINGεrαgђ 19:40, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

RfA
You'll get there, you just need to do some article editing. Good luck to you in the elections (you are in, right?)

And yes, I do. :D H ig hway Daytrippers  19:02, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Nil Desperandum
Ho hum. You know what they say - 45, still alive!! Better luck next time, Snake–– DiLuna25 19:13, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * This reminds me of a funny joke in which Snake has diarrhea. I'll leave you to figure out the punchline, it's rather obvious. Will (Glaciers melting in the dead of night) 08:43, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey Man I'm sorry
Hey Man sorry the RFA didn't make it. Hopefully you will make it on teh second time up. Good luck Æon  Insanity Now! EA!  20:25, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm sure you'll become an admin once you get around 1000 article edits. You're a great editor, all the same. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 20:54, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't take part in every RfA, so I'm sorry to see yours fail due to something so petty. I watch the RfAs, even though I don't always comment, so I'll participate again if you decide to make another try at it in the future. Sxeptomaniac 22:12, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Your Welcome BTW who knows maybe we will both be admins soon. Æon Insanity Now! EA!  00:43, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! who knows!! Æon Insanity Now! EA!  20:23, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

your rfa
No problem Halo, if you come up again in a few months with more experience under your belt I will surely support. Themindset 23:53, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA
Hey, for someone who had <1000 mainspace edits, you did remarkably well. Don't take the result of your RfA as a downer. You can contribute to more articles on Wikipedia, and if you re-apply for adminship in a few months, almost everyone will be on your side, including me. -- Nish kid 64 00:07, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Not at all! Bit of a bummer, that, but you will make a good admin when it eventually happens. All the best, and I hope we don't have to wait too long to see your name here! &mdash; riana_dzasta wreak havoc''' 00:42, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Try again another time eh? :) -- Andeh 01:00, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Just do alot of maintenance/cleanup of articles, particulary on Special:Newpages (help newbies out!), and learn to use the tags.-- Andeh 20:15, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, writing great articles doesn't automatically make a user a qualified admin (as some believe) *rolls eyes*.-- Andeh 20:22, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

congrats and condolences
Dude... Sorry you didn't make it, but as the voices are telling you, it's likely you will next time. You ran a class act and you've my support next time as well, count on it. Anything I can do meanwhile, ask... ++Lar: t/c 01:07, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Yep, same here  hoopydink Conas tá tú? 01:20, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the RfA, I really thought that you were going to make it... I hope that this does not discourage you, and that you may try again in the near future. I'm sure that you will find even more supporters then. Best regards.-- Hús  ö  nd  02:40, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Dude, Halo, you will never let me down; you will just continue to impress me. Keep being the awesome person that you are, and next time I'm sure everyone will realise what a great job you will do. I have confidence, and so should you! -- Nataly a 04:23, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

from Storkk too
(edit conflict) I was of neutral opinion in your recent RfA, and appreciated your thanks. As I said in my comment, I am of a very similar opinion to User:Blnguyen when it comes to the necessity of encyclopedic edits -- for very much the same reasons. However, I will not vote oppose unless there are tangible negative factors as well. With more mainspace edits, you can certainly count on my support next time around. You took your RfA and its outcome with class and grace... good for you & I hope we meet again! :-) --Storkk 01:28, 23 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I couldn't agree more. Nice to see someone big enough to not chuck it in after a failed RFA. "Class" is exactly the right word. I took the same position as Stork and Blnguyen: rack up the article edits and I'll be delighted to support next time round. Cheers, Moreschi 13:53, 23 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I am very sorry to know that your RfA has failed. I am sure you deserve more than that and that being a very good editor like yourselves is more important to us than being a good admin. -- Szvest 14:12, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Dude, rather unlucky.
I'm sure you'll get it next time, just hang in there! Will (Glaciers melting in the dead of night) 08:43, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Hope you are feeling OK after experiencing the recent failure of your RfA. Although I added neutral support in your nomination page, this was acted upon in good faith. I completely understand how you feel as I have gone through the same heart-wrenching feeling three times here! Anyway, do not lose heart and continue editing brilliantly on this project. I am sure you (as well as myself) will become an admin in the future! Just do not lose hope and fight on! -- S iva1979 Talk to me  16:08, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

I will be ready to support your next time. Best of luck, and happy editing! --Merovingian - Talk 18:11, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about your RfA
Yeah, I started a new section. Sosumi. :)

Just a note to say that I'm really sorry your RfA was unsuccessful. I honestly do believe that you have a lot of potential, as clichéd as it may sound, and that you'd do damn well as an administrator. It's very unfortunate that you had to deal with this crap, but I suppose there's nothing much that can be done about that.

Don't let this discourage you, though. You're well on the road to being an admin, and now you have 32 oppose votes' (well... 31) worth of feedback for you to work on for next time. Good luck, and happy editing! Daveydw ee b ( chat/patch ) 23:33, 23 September 2006 (UTC)


 * By the way, have you considered admin coaching? There's quite a long waiting list, but it might be helpful. I've been in line there for weeks, but I'm looking forward to it... Daveydw ee b ( chat/patch ) 23:48, 23 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Glad to leave you comments on your RfA! You're a much better contributor than I am, and I will surely support your next nomination :-) - Mike 00:57, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry man that I voted oppose. I feel really bad even though I would have done the same to myself if I was up. I never intended to hurt your feelings. I hope you don't feel badly towards me.... Sorry once again. Spawn Man 12:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC) :(. P.S. I just noticed that Sergent Snopake is gone & that NathanR.Com has been blocked indefinitely. Your name seems to be connected & I shamelessly thought I could pry some info from you to see what the heck happened?! If you can't, I'll understand... Have a nice day Halo.


 * P.P.S. I really like the way you personally replied to each of the people who voted in your RfA with a unique comment. It must have taken some time & shows how nice a person you are. - Spawn Man 12:13, 24 September 2006 (UTC).


 * I know who he got the idea from. —  $PЯINGεrαgђ 22:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Another sorry note, this time from someone who didn't support- basically I didn't have enough time to properly look at your contribs etc so I couldn't really support. I suspect however that if I had the time, I would have ended up supporting- so sorry that I didn't manage that. Cheers, Petros471 22:31, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Argh, sorry man... really think you would have done a great job. Keep up the good work that you're doing, work with the constructive suggestions on the RfA, and I'm sure that the next go will pass without a problem.  Take care -- Samir धर्म  22:50, 24 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks all! :) It really does mean a lot to see all of your support here. You've all been really great to me. And, Spring, she borrowed an idea from me for her RfA thanks, so I'm sure Sharon won't mind me doing the same ;) Th ε Halo Θ 09:24, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza/User Page Award
Congratulations, The Halo, you have been nominated for the Esperanza User Page Contest! The judges have received the fifteen entries, and are ready to start judging. The judges will take a week to complete the judging process, and they will contact all the participants when the judging is done.

Please drop by the contest page for contest updates and questions. Take care, and good luck! <font face="sans-serif">Daniel.Bryant 07:11, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Horizonte Medio
No worries, (sorry I missed the first post I had my head buried in a book) whatever you did achieved a happy end result so well done! :) Gl e n 09:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Whether or not Snopake told you...
Kyoko is back! She told me a small bit on my talk page, but asked me to tell you. There is a page esay she wrote that explains most of it. What a remedy for Wikistress! :D &mdash; <font style="background:#808;color:#fff;font-family:Arial;"> $PЯINGεrαgђ 18:01, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

thank you, and sorry
Hi The Halo (that sounds awkward), thank you very much for your welcoming words. I really appreciate them. I also want to express my condolences that your RfA failed. I do think that you would be a trustworthy administrator, but I also feel that admins should have considerable experience in writing (and not just reverting) articles, so that they can see how articles are collaborated on, edit wars take place, etc. I think I might have said this all before.

Totally off topic, but do you have any idea how Phaedriel is? She has been gone for quite some time, and I'm getting a bit concerned. I really hope that she isn't feeling the way I did and still sometimes do. --Kyok o 20:46, 30 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know about Sharon. --Kyok o 14:29, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Congrats Halo!
Congrats my man on making the EA Counsel! Æon <sup style="color:red;">Insanity Now! <sub style="color:green;">EA!  02:24, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Elections
 Esperanza elections 

Thanks for supporting me in the September Advisory Council Esperanza elections. Although I wasn't elected to the Advisory Council, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was shocked at the support, and was touched by it. Hopefully I will re-apply in March and try again for the job. Thanks again, H ig hway <sup style="color:#CCCCFF;">Daytrippers  23:46, 30 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I know I should be assuming good faith, but it just seems odd. A candidate who has already voted for people earlier in the election, votes for a candidate who is tying for the last seat, in the last minute of the election? H ig hway <sup style="color:#CCCCFF;">Daytrippers  10:35, 1 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Nah, some things are just meant to happen. H ig hway <sup style="color:#CCCCFF;">Daytrippers  11:07, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations
I'm sure you'll do a great job. Michael 13:58, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * me too! Congrats!!! You'll make a great Councillor.--Edtalk c E  23:25, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * That just goes to show you the importance of reverting. With all that you have been through, don't say you don't deserve it.:D--<tt> C hi  li  14 </tt> 01:23, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

There were EA elections?
Didn't know about them because of the stress I've been put under recently. It seems you're better at dealing with it, so, congratulations! I know you'll make a magnificent member. Will (Glaciers melting in the dead of night) 01:36, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, computer problems are unfortunate too. Anyway, I'm glad to see you back! --Kyok o 14:27, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Just computer problems, right? That's OK then. We all need a bit of time off anyhow :) Glad to see you back around. &mdash; riana_dzasta wreak havoc 15:21, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I guess I'll post my reply here. Nice to have you back, mate! And Ed…I don't really think he looks like a woman…even though he's had that said to him before! By the way: Here's my reply, Halo:

Hehe. >:D I'll have to adpot that as my "symbol" I guess. :P &mdash; <font style="background:#808;color:#fff;"> $PЯING <font style="background:green;color:#fff;">ε <font style="background:#808;color:#fff;">rαgђ 18:53, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Dang you have good ideas! I would have never though of that! And as for changing your picture…just keep the original as well, OK? ;) &mdash; <font style="background:#808;color:#fff;"> $PЯING <font style="background:green;color:#fff;">ε <font style="background:#808;color:#fff;">rαgђ 19:19, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

By the way, I don't know about now, but your hair is almost as long in that picture as mine is now! :P Time for a cut… &mdash; <font style="background:#808;color:#fff;"> $PЯING <font style="background:green;color:#fff;">ε <font style="background:#808;color:#fff;">rαgђ  19:22, 14 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I've been growing it for over a year 0_0 It's a bit longer now than it is in the pic, but not by much. My hair is sometime very annoying, so I can understand well why you want a cut ;) Th ε Halo Θ 19:25, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh my God!! I am SO SORRY!!! (Which is why I highly encourage gender userboxes on people's pages)-- E dI'm lonely, talk to me contribs 19:28, 14 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't worry Ed. I'm secure enough in my masculinity to be called a woman every now and then ;) Th ε Halo Θ 19:33, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Hahaha. People Powered called me a 'he' the other day, too. He protested and said the teal on my userpage threw him off. *sigh* Halo, if you change your picture, make sure it's another happy smiling one. :p &mdash; riana_dzasta wreak havoc 04:27, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Mediators needed!
Hiya! I'm contacting you because you're listed on Mediation Cabal as "willing to accept assigned cases" if you find it interesting. Well, we've got a bit of a backlog, and I was wondering if you'd look over the current list of new cases (I've copied it here for convenience) and tell me if you'd take any of them? I'd really appreciate it! :D

Mohammad Khatami
There is an administrator that is removing the criticism of Mohammad Khatami, bringing his quotations from Wikiquote to Wikipedia to unnecessarily lengthen the article, and deleting the history of its (his/her) edits.

I am reverting the edits. But I have been editing and patrolling the page for some time. What can I do?--Patchouli 22:36, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

My pop-up tool doesn't show it, but here are the references materials that were removed http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mohammad_Khatami&diff=82234577&oldid=81566675

re: Well Wishes
Hi there, I'm now out of the hospital, and I wanted to thank you for your well wishes. Yes, I don't like being in hospitals either, but I'm sorta getting used to it now. Now if they were less like, well, hospitals and more like resorts, they would be more enjoyable. Thanks again! --Kyok o 22:44, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Some quick thanks, the summary really said it all.--Kyok o 12:29, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I wanted to add that I wasn't in the hospital most recently due to an emergency but rather as a followup evaluation for other things. I'm sorry if this led to any confusion. Thanks again, and could you please tell me if you can 1)see my signature in the new font, and 2)if my new signature is too big or distracting? Thanks.-- Kyok <font color="green" face="zapfino">o 05:29, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe my new sig is only visible to people who have Macs? I wanted to use a font that looked like handwriting, and the Zapfino font happened to resemble my actual handwriting more than other fonts I could have used, such as Brush Script and Lucida Handwriting. I'm not going to worry about changing my sig to make the font visible to everybody, unless if I get complaints.-- Kyok <font color="green" face="zapfino">o 13:32, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey The Halo, thanks a lot for supporting me in my recent RfA. It succeeded, and I am very grateful to all of you. If you ever need help with anything, please don't hesitate to ask. Also, feel free point out any mistakes I make! Thanks again, &mdash; Khoikhoi 04:40, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Wow, that's pretty... ambitious! :) SA is awesome - I've only lived here a year, but I love it. And it's unbelievably good for people who love wine :) You can't move in any direction out of Adelaide without passing through wine country.
 * Flinders is really great too - obviously I don't know much about the arty side of the uni, but I've seen a few of their productions, and they're really good.
 * Good luck with saving up - although I've heard Australia is cheaper than England, so once you get here, you should be OK :) riana_dzast a  14:37, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
