Blood Brothers (comics)

You protected the above page in July due to an edit war. There's no real consensus on the talk page regarding which version is preferred, but the page can't go on being protected. There are underlying issues with some of the parties involved and I think at some point this is going to have to be resolved through something more than protecting pages each time a bout of warring breaks out. Anyway, just wanted to pick your brains on whether to unprotect, last time I unprotected a page I hadn't protected, I got treated to a long rant on the ills of my behaviour, hence me coming here. :) Steve block Talk 14:42, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Arbitration

Hi, thanks for the response and the un-protecting. I decided to open a request for arbitration, since this situation has been festering a while, and since you've protected two pages involved in the request, I thought I'd give you a heads up. The request is at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration#Comic_book_characters. I'd appreciate your input in the request as an uninvolved admin, if you can find the time, Appreciated, Steve block Talk 09:45, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

RFA watchlist

Your RFA subpage is in need of updating. User:Melsaran is indef blocked for sockpuppetry. User:Dreadstar has already successfully become an admin. :) Lara❤Love 22:21, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

And, for that matter, Riana has (for the most part) retired from Misplaced Pages. Nothing personal, but I'm glad I didn't co-nom your RfA. :P EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:26, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, the plan as for my RfA to go up Thursday, but my nominator hasn't been online in a few days. So I'm not sure what's up. I've got the questions answered and ready to paste over. My co-nom has his statement written. It's just a matter of The undertow getting his ass back online. Lara❤Love 04:37, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I don't know if you even noticed, but it's up. Lara❤Love 06:16, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

full protection of the article Albus Dumbledore.

Hi Husond,

I would like you to reconsider your full protection of the article Albus Dumbledore. This article has been subject to minor edit warring by just a few editors. I believe a better course of action is to warn these editors to behave, and if they don’t, block them from editing the article. The bad behaviour lies with the editors, not with the article. Full page protection is inconsistent with the cleanup request.

Hello

Hello Husond! (You've been away for awhile...) You may want to take a look at this, as you have a stake in this. I hope all is well with you, and I presume you know about Riana's mostly-retirement. Love, Neranei (talk) 02:44, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

OK, thank you! Love, Neranei (talk) 03:23, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Questions have been answered. Interesting scenarios! Love, Neranei (talk) 03:40, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I've expanded per your request. Love, Neranei (talk) 13:58, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I would be honored. Email is on its way. Love, Neranei (talk) 18:27, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your amazing nom, should we transclude now or wait for DHMO? Love, Neranei (talk) 19:34, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

DHMO may not be on for awhile, he's got school (it's Monday in Australia). Love, Neranei (talk) 21:35, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Can you have a look at this, please?

Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard#Indefinite_block_of_User:Gene_Nygaard. Thanks, Asterion 17:27, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, Husond. I should have given you some background on the situation. The problem this time was not about diacritics but Gene's uncivility towards other editors. Two sides of the same coin, the way I see it. Regards, Asterion 21:42, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Re , and - I think it important to keep the previous solved issues and current problems distinct. I think it would be useful if you could comment on the latest here and here. Thank you in advance, Mondegreen 17:49, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Barnstar

Haha, thanks! I was really torn about whether to actually post that or not, as I thought I might get in trouble or something, but I'm glad to see I've got some like-minded people about. ;) GlassCobra 04:04, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Gene

See post I just made here: WP:AN#Targeted sanctions for Gene Nygaard?. — Rlevse • Talk • 14:04, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Portuguese spoken in...

Yeah, I agree with you. I'd never even heard of Equatorial Guinea till someone arbitrarily put it up there. I highly doubt that a sizable percentage of the population speaks Portuguese. Only countries should be mentioned like you said. learnportuguese 21:44, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Random Blog

Gkmx 02:52, 5 November 2007 (UTC)My intent was not to vandalise. I was removing material that is designed to mis-inform and is politically motivated. Thank you for the input. Gkmx 19:39, 5 November 2007 (UTC) Usually, the name of a city, region, state, etc. is listed on the basis of the name currently used by the people inhabiting the location. If you were to include the Turkish name for Montenegro or the Latin name for Skopje, I would have no objection. However, this type of historical validation does not exist for applying the Albanian names for the aforementioned places. It seems as though you feel that a ~5% minority language/population is a large enough proportion for validating the application of the minority language's name to the place. Then why do you not apply this same logic to the Vienna article. The Bosniak/Croatian/Serbian population of Vienna comes out to roughly 5%. Why then is only the German name placed immediately next to the commonly accepted English name? If you want to have the Albanian name readily available, I suggest creating a link (as in the Vienna article) to a list of the name in other languages. In assuming good faith, I will still be correcting your errors and "unintentional" vandalisms. And you are welcome.

Gkmx 19:45, 5 November 2007 (UTC)My apologies after checking the Vienna article, ~8% is cited. Seriously, how do you feel about adding "Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian: Beč" to the names at the top of the article?

24.250.188.67 04:18, 7 November 2007 (UTC)I really would like to hear why you don't apply your reasoning to the Vienna article.

Please log in when contacting other users. Vienna has nothing to do with this case: Montenegro is a country where Albanian is recognized as a minority language within its territory, Vienna has German as the only recognized language regardless of the immigrant communities living there. Speaking of Austria, see Burgenland, where you'll find a mention to the Croatian name Gradišće right in the beginning. Húsönd 04:38, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

24.250.188.67 15:41, 7 November 2007 (UTC)I do not have an account to log in with. Its been generally accepted that the languages portion of the new MNE constitution is trash - we're not recognizing the fact that "Montenegrin" is the national language. Why then should we recognize the other language aspects of that constitution? By not recognizing the whole language part of the MNE constitution, we can disregard Albanian as having any significant status. Thereby leaving only the Serbian name. I have read the Burgenland article at an earlier point in time. I would not oppose the Albaian name used for the towns/cities around Lake Skadar where they form a plurality. However, using the Albanian name for MNE at the beginning of the article is inappropriate. If you truly wanted to make Misplaced Pages a better source of info you would have a "list of names of Montenegro in other languages link" and go from there. But, this is not the case. Your actions are of purely political-motivation.

Husond has many motivations, some of which are exemplary, and a number of which are doubtless less-than-stellar (laziness, apathy, desire to acquire a sizable harem, etc.). However, I strongly doubt that his motivation in this matter is political. If nothing else, he has very little at stake, whereas you consistently use first-person plural (we, us) when describing the situation. Orthogonally, allow me to clarify that you are, of course, welcome to contribute without ever registering an account, but to also humbly request a small change in your behavior by means of pointing out that typical WikiEtiquette is to sign the end of your statements, not the beginning.

GlassCobra's RfA

		My RFA
		Hey Husond! Thanks for your support (albeit a little posthumous :P) in my request for adminship, which ended with 61 supports, 3 opposes, and 1 neutral. I hope your confidence in me proves to be justified, and please feel free to call on me if you ever need any backup! Let's go whack some vandals! GlassCobra 03:22, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar

Thanks a lot! :) —Nightstallion 15:03, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Co-nom?

For your consideration, a certain Wikignome, with my new nom at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Nightscream 2. Bearian 22:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

OhanaUnited's RfA

Thanks for voting at my RfA. Unfortunately, the result stands at 51 support, 21 oppose and 7 neutral which means that I did not succeed. As many expressed their appreciation of my works in featured portals during my RfA, I will fill up the vacuum position of director in featured portal candidates to maintain the standards of featured contents in addition to my active role in Good articles. Have a great day. OhanaUnited 04:11, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Dearest Húsönd,

Your kind words of support are very much appreciated and I look forward to proving you right. I would like to give special thanks to The_undertow and Phoenix-wiki for their co-nominations. Thank you again and best regards.

It has been one year since you got promoted to admin!

Wow. Congrats on your year anniversary! Cheers!--SJP 19:22, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

No problem:) By the way, did you get my most recent email? You have not replied yet. Also, thanks for replying on the first one:) Cheers!--SJP 19:41, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

• An admin for a year now? Contratulations Husond! Acalamari 21:25, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

• Amazing how it can already be a year... time flies. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 23:18, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

• • You're welcome, and don't worry about mine just yet; mine's not until July 4th. The easiest way to remember mine is to think of the day of the date that the United States Declaration of Independence took place on. :) Your admin and editorial work of the past year has been excellent, and it's good that you're around. Thank you. Acalamari 01:05, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, this image seems to have a very, very wrong fair use license, or what ever they call it. This adress at image 7 contains the exact same image. I also believe that the image page states it was that persons camera, which this image would prove is also a lie. F9T 19:04, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Howdy Husond, thanks for participating in my request for adminship. I am happy to say it was successful, 55/0/0, and I am looking forward to getting to work. Thanks for your vote of confidence. By all means, feel free to check in on my work to come. Suggestions and advice are always appreciated.
