Your messageI agree that users are allowed to delete messages from their Talk pages, though the guidelines point out that it's generally frowned upon. What they can't do, though, is insist that others don't leave messages, as happened here. So yes, in a way they are forced to receive messages; what they then do with the messages is more open. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 15:48, 23 March 2007 (UTC) Discussion on events related to your current RfAPlease respond here on your talk page to keep the thread together. Do you support an edit like this? Do you think that opposing your RfA quote "reflects badly" on me? I notice that some of my contributions have been closely scrutinized over the past day. Today was the first time in over a year and a half than one of the articles that I started received an AfD nomination, and there were 2. I am not saying that you personally did any of this, because clearly you didn't. Wikipedia should be a place to have fun doing editing and creating the world's best encyclopedia, not a source of stress. I would like your opinion on what you think about these developments. Do you think that I should cave in under pressure? How would it make you feel if I did? What would you do if you were in my shoes? Royalbroil T : C 20:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC) Usurpation questionsWJB - Yes to both of your questions: 'Vaya' is too new, and I have no qualms about giving away 'Basil' to somebody who will make good use of it. I don't think we need a hard minimum age for the target account -- common sense will, as so often, suffice -- but it seems only fair to leave the newer accounts alone. Thanks as ever for drawing attention to these issues; your help is invaluable. — Dan | talk 21:28, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
A wikignome got 'gnomedThank you. I was composing a note for Wikipedia:Village pump (technical), and when I went to test my assertions (of brokenness), the link worked! Having copied from the current pages, I'd copied the link after you fixed it. You had me flummoxed. But I'm used to it (computer wonk) and so went looking and found your note. Now I know the 'magic'. :-) Thanks! Shenme 04:26, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Tick tock, tick tock... won't be long now!! Where's that troll cabal when you need it! :-) - Alison☺ 19:52, 25 March 2007 (UTC) RFA ThanksI would like to thank you for your support in my recent RFA. As you may or may not be aware, it passed with approximately 99% support. I ensure you that I will use the tools well, and if I ever disappoint you, I am open to recall. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to leave me a note on my talkpage. Thanks again, ^demon[omg plz] 20:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC) Your RFAJust a quick note to say well done in your RFA. – Steel 21:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC) (Yes, I am aware this is a little early; I don't plan on being around tomorrow to congratulate you then.) RfA nominationHi, your RfA nomination is overdue, so you may need to ask a bureaucrat to close it for you. — zero » 02:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
DunstanNo, he does not. We know Dunstan lived with his partner. I assume he probably was gay. But he never spoke about it during his lifetime, and thus we have no business coming to our own conclusion that he was. Rebecca 03:38, 26 March 2007 (UTC) Portal Automation
AIV report on User:JudygarlandishotYou reported this as a username vio and Netsnipe apparently agreed with you. Could you explain what in WP:UN is being violated? It's not defamatory, not an impersonation, and the subject is long-deceased. —dgiestc 17:06, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Congratulations!Another early congratulation on your happy day, WJB! I have to go to sleep, but didn't want to go offline without marking the festive occasion. I know that Wikipedia will be a far better place with you in possession of the fuckin' shiny buttons! Jeffpw 21:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Just to add to the overall mayhem!! Still waiting for that horde but reckon they've missed the bus :) - Alison☺ 22:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC) PadawerHey WJB, just wondered what the latest news was on the Padawer, quert.......... (sorry can't remember the username!) is. I was thinking of dropping Padawer and email, and once this had been sorted, unblocking his son. Have you had contact with him already? Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 21:17, 26 March 2007 (UTC) Congrats!Congratulations and where's the crat!? Well done, you deserve it! Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 23:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC) I have promoted you to adminship. Congratulations. Make sure you are familiar with all the relevant policies before using your shiny new buttons. Raul654 23:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC) Excellent work, WJB, you deserve it! Now get crackin' with those buttons :) – Riana talk 23:52, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Ode to the helpful admin
Congratulations!All I gotta say, WJB, is that you are mighty. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 19:34, 27 March 2007 (UTC) I regret that I am nowhere near as electronically eloquent as Dev920, but please accept my heartiest congratulations, best wishes, and sincere sympathies. It's always a good sign for an article when your keystrokes grace its talk pages. Risker 20:16, 27 March 2007 (UTC) Thanks!Thanks for removing my name from the AIV noticeboard. I have been working on the List of vaudeville performers for about 2 weeks and I was innocently adding categories. I can understand that it might be unbelievable that Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb performed in vaude, but they did and I have references to quote. Thanks again. It's nice to know that somebody recognizes that I'm doing legitimate work. *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 20:52, 27 March 2007 (UTC) Please deletePlease delete this backlogged nonsense page Shakespeareland. Retiono Virginian 20:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC) re: Elona RFDYeah, as nominator, I think it's fine for you to close it. That would be same as if you withdrew the nomination and then I changed it to a disambig afterwards. I'm not sure why someone hasn't closed that one yet. -- JLaTondre 02:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC) Bus imagesDelete them, unfortunately; there is no evidence that these were ever correctly licensed for us. Jkelly 03:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey, new admin!There's a note on my talk page from User:Coryarlo regarding Sexually transmitted disease. Evidently that page gets vandalized often - surprise surprise! Isn't there a protection level to disallow edits from ip-users? Would you mind taking a look? Thanks!!!!!! Hope you're enjoying that mop! :) :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 05:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Mike Cox photoDo you know why Mike Cox 1.jpg was deleted? I noticed you have removed it from the three pages it was on. Jjmillerhistorian 11:07, 28 March 2007 (UTC) db-userreqI noticed you deleted User:Parker007/article as {{db-userreq}}. You might be interested to know that it contained the entire history of said user's talk page. For that reason, I restored the content, and history-merged it back to his talk page, then move-protected his talk page to prevent a repeat incident, then deleted the trailing redirect. —freak(talk) 06:10, Mar. 28, 2007 (UTC) The bus imagesThanks for clearing them out, I was going to batch them last night, but it got a bit too late and I had to go to sleep. I created that category to be able to run it via pywikipedia with this query: python delete.py -cat:'Candidates for speedy deletion - Bus images' -summary:'image taken from www.busesatwork.co.uk and needs to be deleted' -always But I didn't get a GO/NO GO from any other admin so I fell asleap instead. →AzaToth 13:07, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks.Thank you for your support and advice in my RfA. :) Good work on becoming an admin yourself. Acalamari 21:16, 28 March 2007 (UTC) request for you to consider closingMy adoptee brought a problem user to my attention, and looking into their contribs I found this nomination which they registered to create. With the response in the AFD, and coverage like the CBC, I'm predicting a 100% chance of WP:SNOW. — coelacan — 01:36, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you ...... for spotting that one - Alison☺ 05:31, 29 March 2007 (UTC) Revert.Thanks for the revert. Normally users who have been through an RfA get vandalism if the RfA is successful. :) I wonder if this is the same person who created users like User: Yamla has a crush on Kate McAuliffe. Acalamari 16:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)Acalamari 16:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC) Re: history mergeThanks for pointing out Fleur de Lys (superhero). As far as I can tell nothing happened. This should be easy - just need to restore the original at Fleur de Lys and move it over the former redirect page, crediting User:E-Kartoffel with the move in the edit summary. The other history at Fleur de Lys (superhero) is me figuring out the redirect months ago, and it doesn't need saving. Gimmetrow 19:42, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
AfD ClosureHello. Let me begin by saying that I am not trying to question your decision on closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DKP. To be honest there wasn't really much support for deleting it. Nor am I asking for you to overturn your decision! Mainly I am curious why you chose to close it as a keep decision when a large number of the keep !votes did not attempt to address the issues brought up in the debate and offered no substantive reasoning for their opinions - I was pretty sure this one would have gone down as a no consensus due to the lack in terms of cosntructive debate on the topic. I'm sorry if I'm belaboring the topic, I just would like to understand your thoughts as the closing administrator if only for my own enlightenment. Thank you!

Re: HeroesI noticed the user wasn't involved in the dispute so I figured no big deal. Feel free to reprotect, I don't feel strongly either way. John Reaves (talk) 01:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC) Someday NeverWhy was the image deleted? Were there copyright issues? Drew Nutter 01:30, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
RfA thanks2nd opinionWhile we're on the subject! Can you breeze through my edit history really quick and give your opinion on how I'm doing on stuff? I'm a bit concerned that I might adhere to WP:AGF a little too strongly, particulary around usernames and their appropriateness and I'd love your opinion. Be honest!! I want objective criticism - Alison☺ 18:08, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Unblock requestMadman234 (talk • contribs) has requested a block review. Looks at least plausible to me. Could you check and unblock or let the user know what more information you are looking for? Thanks! --Yamla 18:27, 30 March 2007 (UTC) Protection requestYour unblock of Transnistria is way too premature. Wait an hour and you'll see all mayhem break loose. Or else protect again, please, since discussion is currently underway in Talk:Transnistria among five of us to work out the differences. - Mauco 18:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

My RfAThank you for your support in my recent successful RfA; congratulations on your own.--Anthony.bradbury 10:43, 31 March 2007 (UTC) merging User talk:Tachikoma and User talk:KyokoHello, if it wouldn't be too difficult for you to do, merging their history would be great, thanks. Congratulations on your RfA, by the way. I tend to participate only with RfAs that I feel strongly about, or in cases where I feel an editor doesn't know what he/she is getting into (such as an editor who has newly registered). So I didn't participate in yours. Again, congratulations. --Kyoko 19:11, 31 March 2007 (UTC) RE: "Vandalism" RevertSorry for any confusion. I don't recall doing that at all.... I must have just completely miss-clicked while vandalism patrolling, but I'm not sure where or how. I will try to be more careful in the future. Thanks for pointing that out, Danski14(talk) 00:18, 1 April 2007 (UTC) My RfA
Thanks for the workThanks for the hands on the image deletion. The bad spell of month old backlogged during the past few months almost made me black out several times. Teke 07:13, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
