[edit] Congratulations!

Still a few hours left, but I want to be the first one to welcome our Lord into the world of the administrator. Firstly, you must get drunk on that glass of champagne, which oddly has been consumed a few hundred times on this very page. _-M ^o P-_ 05:30, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Congrats too, I'd give you a peice of cake but it turned into a Cake for Deletion vote which I think you'd rather avoid (50 million new messages prompts :o) -- Tawker 06:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to add a Congrats as well. — nathanrdotcom ^{(T • C • W)} 11:38, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Congrats! You deserve this and I am happy for you! --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 02:13, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Well Earned, Your Lordship

		The Working Man's Barnstar
		In recognition of the incredible number of thankless tasks you've already completed, and the many more to come now that you've been "mopped", I, Xoloz, award you, Lord Voldemort the Gentle, this Working Man's Barnstar. Xoloz 18:20, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Adminship

Congratulations!
It is my great pleasure to inform you that your Request for Adminship has closed successfully and you are now an administrator! Useful Links: • Administrators' reading list • Administrators' how-to guide • • Administrator's Noticeboard • Administrator's Noticeboard for Incidents • Administrator's Noticeboard for 3RR • Your admin logs: • blocks • deletions • moves • protects • uploads •

If you have questions, feel free to leave a talk page message for me or any other admin. Again, congratulations! Essjay (Talk • Connect) 18:47, 25 April 2006 (UTC) (First time I use this new template, and it breaks! Essjay (Talk • Connect) 18:49, 25 April 2006 (UTC))

Huzzah! --Syrthiss 18:47, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Many congratulations, you'll make a great admin. All the best, Gwernol 19:04, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

The links to your logs must be broken. I checked these logs: • blocks • deletions • protects, and they're empty. hmmm... ;-). NoSeptember ^talk 19:14, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I'll block, delete and protect you. Aaah, the good old days when my dad would make any word a verb... "Daddy Voldemort, can I have a cookie?" "I'll cookie you!". Memories... ;-) Thanks to all who voted. I'll be sure to cause as much evil as possible. You know, to vandals and socks. Thanks again! --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 19:21, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

So your first action as an admin is to threaten someone with an unjustified block. Well, well, well, you will fit in just fine as a rouge admin ;-). NoSeptember ^talk 13:51, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Shazaam! (Congrats) --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 19:23, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations! You will be a great admin, get working on your tools. :P --Terence Ong 01:47, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey there, congrats. I didn't realize that you had just become an admin when you posted to my talk page. Please let me know if there are any other questions, or little quirks that I can help you out with. Have fun with your new mop and bucket. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 02:11, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Congrats from me, too! I see you've been busy with your new delete button. [1] --TantalumTelluride 19:34, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warning

I have reverted a recent edit you made to the article Lewis and Clark Expedition. You did not provide an edit summary, and I could not determine whether the edit was vandalism or a constructive contribution. In the future, please use edit summaries. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Primate^#101 00:30, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, LV, but I accidently clicked the "revert" button in [[VandalProof]. My apologies.

[edit] Rick's Page

Ah, that makes more since. It's just that the anon IP who was editing it tends to remove underscores where other people think they should be. I thought this was one of those instances; --69.145.122.209 02:37, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Made a bold decision...

My thanks :) RadioKirk talk to me 00:32, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

LOL! Get some sleep ;) RadioKirk talk to me 00:37, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I have been working in that direction. If I'm not there yet, I think I'm pretty darned close. Thanks for thinking about it. :) RadioKirk talk to me 00:54, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Edit: after some thought, I should come right out and say it: I haven't nominated myself because I think that's tacky. If, however, you do, I will accept. :) RadioKirk talk to me 13:21, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

LOL well, I'm not in a hurry, or anything, the process takes several days anyway ;) RadioKirk talk to me 14:13, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Done. RadioKirk talk to me 15:41, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Got it, thank you. :) RadioKirk talk to me 19:06, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the nom! I'll go there and do the accept-and-answer-the-questions-thing a little later. :) RadioKirk talk to me 00:40, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

What you wrote was and is yours—and, my thanks :) RadioKirk talk to me 00:44, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Er... looks like you forgot to list it here—I was wondering why there was no response at all... ;) RadioKirk talk to me 23:01, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] it is not vandalism

the edits i made was previously made by other users and the information i posted is totally legitimate if you watch the NBA--User:Freestyle.king

[edit] A favor please

Hello friend, do you remember me? In the month of September 2005, your vote had made me an administrator. we all know that the life here is exciting and full of challenges. I would request you to please spare fem moments for me, and favor me with your comments and suggestions (here please) on my performance as a wikipedian. Let us continue to build the Better than the Best global encyclopedia. Thank you and regards. --Bhadani 10:05, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Renting Top Space

So what do I have to do to rent that space at the top of your user page? :-) --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 01:46, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm quite keen on helping eliminate weak spots in Wikipedia's coverage, so, if you wanted to, if you could work on any third-world topic of your choice for an hour, then you can have it say whatever you like (within reason!) for, ooh, I dunno, three weeks? ;-) — Matt Crypto 19:09, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] hey from thewolfstar

Hey Lord Voldemort, I never came back here and thanked you for calming me down and being nice to me the first time they locked me up. This is the first place I should have gone when they set me free. You are one of the very coolest and most considerate people I have come across while here at Wiki Wonderland. You should get a medal for that.

Also, I would like to ask you a favor. There is a user named Kaspersky Trust who has apparently been blocked for a while for no reason other than no one will help him out. It looks like he may be caught in an auto block. I don't know for sure what is going on but it just seems like something isn't right. Can you tell me how I can help him? Or can you help him? Please let me know what you think.

Thanks a million. Maggiethewolfstar 07:04, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• Congrats on the promotion! Just saw the news on the signpost. FrankB 14:50, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rationales to impeach George W. Bush (2nd nomination)

You are invited to vote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rationales to impeach George W. Bush (2nd nomination). All this is is ramblings/blog/rants about Bush. Not encyclopedic, should've been deleted long ago. Happy editing! Morton devonshire 20:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

Hello, Lord Voldemort/Archive 5, and thank you for vote on my recent RfA! With a final vote of 62/2/4, I have now been entrusted with the mop, bucket and keys. As I acclimate myself to my new tools, feel free to let me know how you believe I might be able to use them to help the project. Thanks again! RadioKirk talk to me 05:14, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Danger! Freakout Bar filling!

Isn't it weird how some people have nothing better to do than leave messages on other peoples' Talk pages just out of boredom or to see if it elicits a response? Jive Monk 09:02, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Better late than never

Fantastic, so now you are an administrator! I would have come earlier, but could not on account of my sickness from 3rd April to 24th April 2006 resulting into my wiki-absence. I convey my congratulations to you on your elevation as an administrator, and wish you all the best! Have you ever seen me around? I am just curious! --Bhadani 15:26, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

• What happens if a Wikipedian dies? - yes it is a pertinent point to ponder over. --Bhadani 15:36, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

Administrator Coaching The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service. This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. Stressbusters The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome! Note from the editor As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!

The last AC meeting (full log) Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon. Signed...

[edit] Really, I swear...

I had no idea that you were unaware of my vow of admin-abstinence until you wrote me saying you might "want help learning the buttons" -- I felt awful, but there was NO WAY I was letting the cat out of the bag then, since you would have turned the tables on me, and I'd have had no choice but to accept. Really, until Splash took his wikibreak (24 April), and DRV developed a three-week backlog (earlier this week), I had never been tempted to abandon my longtime stance as friendly "lackey to the admins" and nothing more; I'm still going to consider myself only that, no matter what happens at the RfA.

If it makes you feel any better, I was thinking of you when I surrendered to Encephalon's request for the nomination: it felt hypocritical to have forced you into service, and then to send him away. So, even if you weren't aware of it, your spirit has been goading me on through this whole process! :)

In one sense, we can agree "all's well that ends well": no matter what, you will always be a more senior administrator than I, which is as it should be, both on the basis of merit, and on the theory that your Oct. 2005 RfA should have succeeded in the first place. 'Twas guilt over that, as well as WP's best interest, that led me to urge you persistently. :) Your appreciative lackey, Xoloz 03:13, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi LV, Thanks for the welcome. And it's the funniest thing but thewolfstar said the same thing about you. You may want to read WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA. Lamb of god 23:49, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you so much

Hi LV. Thank you so much for your words of support over at Meta. Hey, you know you're on my list too, but that's a good one to be on ;) I just thought it'd be a bit of an overkill to list all the people that could vouch for me there (maybe even seven was too much...), not to mention that it's a drag bothering people with stuff that is not even related to the project per se — I'm hoping they won't feel the need to check with everybody I did list, since I feel I'm, well, imposing a little. Which is all the more reason for me to thank you yet again for taking the time to write your kind words of support there. Thanks again! Cheers, Redux 05:30, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Skipping redirects

Hello He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. :o) I was just curious why you were skipping redirects to MythBusters in userspace. Is this in preparation for something else occupying that article space, or is just for the sake of skipping redirects? If it's the latter, you might be interested in Wikipedia:Redirect#Don't_fix_links_to_redirects_that_aren't_broken. Thanks, let me know what's going on. Talk to you soon! EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 21:57, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. No problems; as you said, the correct title is with the capital B, and should show up as such, at least in article-space. Feel free to use Avada Kedavra on those lowercase b's. Happy hunting! :o) EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 22:14, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay, you caught me... wanna know who I really am? ;-) --Mark Neelstin ^{(Dark Mark)} 01:04, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

A bold move! None of the anagrams is quite as ominous as "Lord Voldemort," but there are quite a lot of them. I salute you, Manliest Kern ! :-D FreplySpang (talk) 11:54, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

(googling a little, hey, why does this take me to sl.wikipedia.org?) A-ha. Well, Mrlakenstein, Mannerist Elk, whatever. Thanks for offering to take a task off my hands. I was momentarily tempted to give you some horrible complicated thing off m:OTRS, but decided to spare you. Having the Dark Lord doing my bidding has a certain appeal, no doubt, but it's better for me to do my own dirty work! Cheers, FreplySpang (talk) 17:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Now you've got me giggling everytime I see your Dark Mark on a talk page. Um, giggling in dread and respect, of course. Here's a favor you could do for me: Put Irving Layton on your watchlist. A group of students is intermittently trying to insert a paragraph about their leader in this otherwise excellent article. Best, FreplySpang (talk) 21:25, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Note and Answer

Thanks for deleting it. I decided that I prefer not to smirk at people when they see my user page. Not polite, and all. Plus, I like the current image better, and without being on my userpage, the image was orphaned. —Cuiviénen^T|C, Monday, 15 May 2006 @ 20:42 UTC

[edit] Quick Question

I apologize in advance because I'm sure this is an unbelievably stupid question, but please, pardon my ignorance. I have a website organization that I created and I was interested in making a Wikipedia article for it. I know that there are rules against articles about one's self, but I wasn't sure if this met those criteria. Thank you very much and God Bless, Demosthenes 1 01:54, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! See you around, I guess. Demosthenes 1

[edit] Thanks so much, Mark (?)

Thanks LV,

First, I must express my appreciation that you didn't kill me once you discovered that I exerted all that pressure on you whilst a mere user myself. :) Second, I must ask about your new signature: Thanks to your literary namesake's habit, I had assumed it was an anagram for something (after "Tom Mavolo Riddle), but I can't make sense of it. Is it, by chance, your human/mortal name?

And lastly, I must thank you for the way-too-kind at my RfA; I'm afraid you far outshine me in your "awesomeness," so much of what you said is better described as a sort of "autobiography by transference." ;) Still, I was deeply touched to have such praise from you, nominally the King of Evil. (Your secret, that you are really sweeter than a Gummi Bear, is safe with me!) I'm sure I'll be asking you for help with the buttons now. :) Our wiki-fates seem intertwined, so I trust we'll be seeing much more of each other. Fate has also decreed (by eleven votes, plus your overall brilliance) that you are forever my superior :), so you can expect to see me dawdling about your feet, asking if any menial wiki-labor needs doing.

[edit] Adam Malkovich has been proposed for deletion

I have merged Adam Malkovich with Metroid Fusion, since there was a merge tag. I propose that Adam Malkovich be deleted ASAP because the content has been merged with the Metroid Fusion article. Also, the Adam Malkovich article is a stub and is unnecessary information, although I included this information in the Metroid Fusion article and removed the merge tags anyway. - Danmeister 12:44 20 May 2006 (UTC)
