[edit] Your report about Suhayl Saadi at Conflict of Interest Noticeboard

Please see the recent comment I added there. I believe the next step is for someone to carefully go through all the provided links to be sure they are legit. if you have other steps to suggest, you are welcome to add to the discussion at WP:COI/N. EdJohnston 00:38, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

YechielMan, I took this article under my wing—please let me know if you approve of the result. The COI/N discussion is in that noticeboard's Archive 4. — Athænara ✉ 08:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for your support on my RfA. It passed with 55/0/0. I'll try my best to be worthy of the trust the community has put in me. If there are any of my actions you have a problem with or a question about, please feel free to discuss this with me and if needed to revert me. If there is anything else I can help you with (backlogs, comments, ...), you can always contact me on my talk page. Fram 14:45, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Closing AfDs

You closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/De Viris Illustribus (Jerome) correctly as a speedy keep, but you also need to take the AfD notice off the article in question. Don't worry I tidied up after you ;) Have fun. --Steve _(Slf67) ^talk 08:13, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shaare Zedek

Fair enough, I probably should've done a more extensive search before moving the article, I figured the creator just wasn't a Hebrew speaker and therefore used a wrong transliteration. Thanks for the correction, Yonatan ^talk 06:52, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rhode Island governors

I intend to add content to the articles. I thought it would be useful to add the template at least, so that people can click through the links from governor to governor, including me as I work on them. Logophile 20:58, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shiny disco balls

It's a really terrible song, which was played over and over at this party I was at the other night, so now it's firmly stuck in my head. :p – Riana ^{shiny disco balls} 03:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Equalizer Cheat Code Cartridge

The article tells about the item, lists it's function, and tells how it compares and contrasts with other similar devises, some Wikipedians, just love to delete others work without them caring if it's there or not. Poor Wikipedians they need to remove the only reference that can be found online for this item. (Floppydog66 07:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC))

[edit] My Editor Review

Thanks! I did have editcountitis! Recently I've been trying to figure things out, but now I think that I've got the ropes and will try to make more contributions to mainspace articles. Thanks for the wikiknome fix. And its ShakingSpirit not Shining Spirit. No problem though. Now, what do I know about... RedSkunk^talk 21:55, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Who is essjay (I read in the newspaper a bit about him), thats why I don't know much

Firstly may I know the coment made by him.
You only told that Essjay was one of the most outstanding users, an administrator and a checkuser. But Wikipedia has no right to interfare in his personal matters as long as he is not comenting on matters that may obstruct the unity of WP organisation or national integrity. If he was an outstanding user then why did jimmy asked him to resign. He was doing his job nicely. Thanks Sushant gupta 05:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, would you be my friend? Sushant gupta 06:38, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Wait a minute are you thinking that am I a fraud. Hey dude, I am just a 15 years old kid. I just simply asked you for friendship man. Well if you don't trust me then its fine. My well wishes Sushant gupta 07:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I am sorry, I read your previous message wrong way. Actually when I read it quite hastily then it seemed to me different. Sushant gupta 07:29, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Regards, --Wpktsfs 04:23, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Transformers

You added a flag to a recent article I began on the Transformers movie prequel Ghosts of Yesterday. I believe that there does need to be a page on this, as it is a very important aspect to the Transformers universe. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Transformers for an example of how large the Transformers universe already is on wikipedia. As there is a page devoted completely to the comic book prequel to the movie (which is not even completed) I see no reason why there should not be a page for this new novel, especially since it was written by Alan Dean Foster, who is himself, a rather well known author. --EndrilRM 19:08, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RFA Thanks

I 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)

[edit] Thanks!

Thank you for reviewing me, and even offering to possibly nominate me! Yes, I should probably be a bit more involved in XFDs, although I haven't been involved in much these days because I've been so busy. Anyway, have a great day. Cheers, Dar-Ape 01:58, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Signature

See "Teh". My uncommon usage of the article is on purpose. And also, sorry for whatever I did, I don't want any more trouble with jewish users, ok? --Teh Original Mr. Orange (Orange juice?) 03:26, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

What I mean by trouble with jewish users is this: [1] and this [2], not that jewish users give me trouble per se. I thought you were involved in the article "Settler colonialism" that brought me great trouble and harsh responses from jewish users. Since you are a jew, and I have been involved in a discussion today involving the Israeli-occupied territories and so forth, I thought you were addressing me because of that. I don't have problems with jews, and I don't want to have them, alright? --Teh Original Mr. Orange (Orange juice?) 03:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello? All clear? I'm sorry for the misunderstanding!! --Teh Original Mr. Orange (Orange juice?) 03:45, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. You've given me some great advice. Verkhovensky 01:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your reaction time is impressive

Whilst I was looking for the correct stub to add to the new John Veneman article I saw you had already added one 1 minute after I made the article. One of the things that make Wikipedia so great :-) --Lomedae 03:16, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Hear hear! and Amen! I opened an article, three minutes later it was stubbed for me, and I was asked for sources! Shalom dude! Alastair Haines 16:46, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thanks for the kind words you said in the review. :) --soum (0_o) 05:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please read Wikipedia:Speedy deletes

Copying from another Wikipedia article is not grounds for a speedy delete. In fact, the reason I copied is because these current content was a great place to start working from. Right now I'm just doing macro-organization. I'll update specific pages later, and I'd like you to help.--Urthogie 06:35, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fac time

I try to give each nom a minimum of 5 days. There is no hard upper limit as to how long one can take. Raul654 07:34, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your review

Thanks for your editor review on me - it was nice to gain some positive feedback! I've taken in everything you have said, and hope I do well here :) --Spebi 10:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

Hey Yechiel, sure, I'll have a look, but I hope you don't mind if I do so tomorrow - I'm just about to pack up and log out of this place for the night(/early early morning). I promise to have a look, and if you don't get an answer back from me by this time tomorrow, slap me! Cheers, – Riana ^talk 17:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey again :) I read over your draft. I quite like the sound of your intentions, and your answers to the standard questions are strong. I would aim for a little more self-marketing in the nomination statement, though. For a lot of users, the tone of self noms is very important, and yours is just a tiny bit on the quiet, modest side. I'd go the whole hog and really brag about myself (which is why I didn't self nom, because I'd have nothing to talk about... ), no one minds a bit of assertiveness in the nom statement. Otherwise, it's all good. Let me know when it's live! :) Ask me if you have any more questions, and I'll try my best to answer them. Cheers, – Riana ^talk 05:21, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello. A Featured Picture Candidate you commented on, Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Killer whale mother and calf, is now in the section for "Older nominations requiring additional input from voters." Contributors have tried to improve it after you commented, and your opinion is welcome as to which, if any, of the available versions deserves promotion.

On March 30, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Old Black (Great Smoky Mountains), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thankyou YechielMan. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:34, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Probably not the most appropriate BS to pick for this situation

[edit] Your edit to List of Spectrobes

Your recent edit to List of Spectrobes (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // MartinBot 17:11, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

For the record, I was reverting multiple vandalism edits, and I apparently missed some of it. I did not write the vandalism shown in the diff. YechielMan 17:13, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] On Michael Fishman

Yes I reverted then had to again because popups couldn't revert that many vandalisms. I googled it will give it an IMDB link now. Thanks.--Paloma Walker 17:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] [Response to my request that User:Perversedork change his name]

Perverse: deffinition: From Microsoft Word dictionary:1)purposely deviating from what is accepted as good, proper, or reasonable

                                                2)unreasonably stubborn, contrary, or awkward
                                                3)willfully persisting in what is wrong
                                                4)perverted

The Oxford Pocket Dictionary of Current English: per·verse / pərˈvərs/ • adj. (of a person or their actions) 1)showing a deliberate and obstinate desire to behave in a way that is unreasonable or unacceptable, often in spite of the consequence 2)contrary to the accepted or expected standard or practice: in two general elections the outcome was quite perverse. 3)Law (of a verdict) against the weight of evidence or the direction of the judge on a point of law. 4)sexually perverted.

there is more than one deffinition for a word, maybe you should not make assumptions about people. It bothers me that you would send me a message attacking my username when it is a very unimportant part of this website.

I use this username because it is my username for everything. i would rather just have one universal username than have to memorize a bunch of different ones and some of my old usernames are up to 4 years old, so i don't really feel like changing all of my usernames because people may have a problem with it. You are the first person who it has ever bothered... so i am sorry if you are bothered by it but you shouldn't judge someone by a name.

[edit] Review

Since you were the first Wikipedian to give me a review, I feel arbitrarily obligated to ask you to review me, again. (The hyperlink is the tilde in my sig, just to let you know ;-)  ~Steptrip 01:22, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I was feeling that way about vandal-patrol, however, I recently downloaded AWB and I mainly do categorization while using that program. Thanks for the reference to the helping at the help desk nonetheless.  ~Steptrip 01:49, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

• Thanks for the support position. However, I've decided to withdraw my acceptance because of real WP:CIVIL concerns. I will try again later when I've proven to myself and others that my anger will no longer interfere with my abilities as a Wikipedia editor. Thanks again, and I'll see you around here shortly. :) JuJube 04:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stan Freberg Presents The United States of America Volume One The Early Years

Just letting you know that the PROD deletion of the above article has been reversed. The creator of the page is quite upset over it's deletion, and has been talking to the project info-desk to track down what happened. They finally directed him to me, the admin who processed the PROD, and he sent me an email asking for explanations. I have given him an explanation on his talk page, and undeleted the page as the PROD is definitely now contested. I figured you might want to also chime in on his talk page with an explanation of why it was PRODed in the first place. Be aware, this user is pretty much unaware of WP procedure and particularly of WP terminology and jargon. In his emails with the INFO desk he was getting particularly annoyed at a number of WP terms that we tend to take for granted. (I've defined a few for him in my response.) - TexasAndroid 19:56, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Majorly's RfB

Hey YechielMan, thanks for your kind support in my RfB. Sadly, it didn't pass, but I appreciate the support, and the fact you think I am a fine admin, and I do intend to run again eventually. Happy editing! Majorly _{(o rly?)} 02:52, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RfA

Thank you for the support vote in my recent RfA. Although it wasn't successful I appreciate your vote of confidence.

[edit] Apure River

• You said in my discussion page: "Some of your recent edits have been considered unhelpful or unconstructive and have been reverted or removed". I would like to know which recent edits are you talking about. I already know some edits about the Orinoco which have been reverted. Despite this, I am studying rivers from the Orinoco Basin since more than four decades and wrote several books and papers on the Orinoco Basin (not in English, but in Spanish). So, maybe I am wrong, but I need to know my errors. --Fev 00:49, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re:multiAfD's

Wow, thanks for the heads up. I knew there must be a way as I had seen it done but hadn't gone down the AfD page far enough. I stumble through the AfD process as it is, lots of steps and back and forth, although I'm learning some process tricks that make it easier. Blatant self-promotion seems to be viral and checking the edit hx of creators often leads to more related articles. Obviously I would only group them if they were connected by more than just the creator as in this instance.--killing sparrows 07:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
