Thanks!
Hi. Thanks, and by the way, it's my Wikipedian birthday. Thanks. ~ A H  1 (TCU) 21:43, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

"Thanks and Happy Editing!"
It appears that "Thanks and Happy Editing!" is a part of your signature. I'm sorry to be so picky, but it shouldn't be. It looks like it's a part of the text of your message, but it is repetitive and confusing. When it's so repetitive, it doesn't really convey the feeling that you are wishing me "happy editing".

To put it short - just leave your username in the signature. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 20:06, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * How so?
 * What do you mean repetitive? (I have changed my sig., but am still curious.) Thanks!  ⊥m93  (or Taylore) likes to  talk . 20:47, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Repetitive = it is repeated in every message that you write. Sometimes it is hardly related to the message itself. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 20:50, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok. Now I see what you mean. But what's wrong with it?  I placed that in my signature so I could wish whomever I was writing to a "Happy Editing"!  I want the others, who I may be talking to, to have an enjoyable time editing.  If its in my signature I don't have to worry about writing each time.  Any interjections? P.S. You can reply here if you wish.  I am watching your page.  I will be notified of any changes to your talk page.  Thanks!   ⊥m93  (or Taylore) likes to  talk . 20:55, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That's the thing - when it is so repetitive, then it's apparent that it's automatic and if you - as you say - don't "worry" about it each time, then it doesn't look like you actually mean to wish your peer "happy editing". Besides it may seem out of place. Consider this:
 * "Please stop vandalizing pages! Thanks and happy editing!"
 * And what if you just wanted to say thanks to someone? It would like this:
 * "Thanks! Thanks and happy editing!"
 * Even more repetitive!
 * Now it appears that you have "Thanks!" as part of your new signature. You shouldn't have that either. Politeness shouldn't be automatic. You signature should have just your username.
 * I'm sorry for sounding so didactic and preachy, but what can i say... think about it. :) Also, read Signatures for more ideas.
 * Finally, since i started this discussion here, i'd like it to remain here. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 21:04, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok is this signature better? ⊥m93 (or Taylore) likes to  talk. 21:15, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is better. I would also remove the User:Tm93/SigRed link, as it is a bit redundant, but it's not too terrible.
 * And there's no need to tell me that you left me a new message on your talk page, as i am watching it. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 21:21, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and i would also leave out the "likes to" part, or at least make it small, 'cuz it looks like it's a part of the message. Consider writing likes to talk --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 21:23, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Also. Did you have any input concerning this message I left you? ⊥m93 (or Taylore) likes to  talk. 21:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Never mind. ha ha.  I can read.  At first, I ddin't realize that you had replied.  ⊥m93  (or Taylore) likes to  talk . 21:17, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

how about this?

Purpose
You have just passed the 700 edits milestone. But do you see any difference between the pie chart on this page and the corresponding pie chart for yourself? &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 04:17, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

So far it has taken you four months. I leave you to decide whether you are actually "working toward" or just using Wikipedia as a chat room. I will review you again when you hit 900 edits. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 17:25, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to be rude, but what are you trying to say? I'm still working toward articles, it just takes me longer than others.   ⊥m93  (Taylore) likes to talk. 16:32, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I have just noticed that you have a count of deleted edits. New page patrolling is a valid and useful activity - keep it up. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 17:31, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

New Page Patrolling
Hi. Thank you for your help with the vital work of patrolling new pages. I noticed that you are not marking some of the pages you've reviewed as patrolled. Please do remember to click the 'mark this page as patrolled' link at the bottom of the new page if you have performed the standard patrolling tasks. Where appropriate, doing so saves time and work by informing fellow patrollers of your review of the page, so that they do not duplicate efforts. Thanks again for volunteering your time at the new pages patrol project. NuclearWarfare  contact me My work 23:00, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Userboxes
Hi Tm93. I moved some userboxes you created from template namespace to your user namespace to give you the control you requested on User:Tm93/userboxes created. Also, user pages should be in user namespace, not template namespace. If you want wider use of your templates, you can add them to the subpages at User:UBX. -- Suntag  ☼  19:57, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
