I'm not arguing with your oppose vote, I'm just wondering how many edits a month you consider is active and how many project edits is good. Jedi6-(need help?) 01:54, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Am I on IRC?

Yes. --Celestianpower 09:26, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Unblock 207.200.116.10 (please?)

Any chance you can unblock this IP? It's an AOL IP that was autoblocked by you (apparantly). I am trying to add a legitimate article which I've worked on for a little while and I'm not able to because of the block. The autoblock is a few hours old, and I'm sure that the troublemaker has moved on.

Thanks. --Brianvdb 10:41, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

It appears that this has been taken care of. Thanks for the quick response! --Brianvdb 11:01, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your questions and support vote on my RFA. The final result was a successful request based on 111 support and 1 oppose. --CBDunkerson 11:05, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi NSLE. On my RFA you said to drop you a message if you haven't decided within two days, so here it is. Cheers! --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 01:01, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Re:Image:Sturdivant.png

Just to let you know, the author of the book, Phyllis Sturdivant Sweetster, is dead. She is/was likely the only copyright holder of the image. Icelandic Hurricane #12 11:18, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

your comment on cscwem's rfa

Apart from the other user saying I had every right to be a wet blanket, maybe you can do me a favor. See, I don't want to be a dick or be incivil, but maybe you could take a look at my voting history and see how I've voted in the past. I am only rarely in favor of an RFA, for a variety of reasons I don't have to elaborate on you. But maybe, save me the trouble of calling you an idiot, and read the pages associated with my user page, and reconsider your "something useful to do" comment. I certainly don't need to hear that kind of rhetoric from the likes of you. xoxo, ... aa:talk 01:03, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Nice catch

Nice catch with this edit, I probably shouldn't be trying things like this at 3:00 AM anyways. ;) FWIW, it looks like all of those templates have been successfully orphaned (with help from Phil Boswell (talk · contribs)), so we can probably TFD them now. =) —Locke Cole • t • c 10:42, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Spam

NSLE, this is not spamming. I already opened a discussion on the admin page you know. Noone claims that this is spamming maybe except you. Please note that I am informing a selected group of people who I think might not be aware of the developments on the proposal. Thanks... Resid Gulerdem 03:57, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Jedi6's RfA Oppose votes

The oppose tally was probably one off due to User:Phair's vote being stricken twice. Honest Mistake. Jedi6-(need help?) 12:22, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Heh, many thanks for the autograph! And best of luck to you too. Banez 13:29, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep up the good work!

Hi

Firstly, thanks alot for your assistance with the User:Gator1 case, I hope his personal information is hidden from the public as soon as possible, and that the perpetrators are caught and perhaps charged. The reason I'm contacting you is rather silly, but I thought it would be quicker to get a response from you than to research the subject. I notice that the Date/Time stamp on your edits is personalized, with the date actually being linked and in the "<small>" format. I was just wondering how this is done? I know you can alter your User stamp, but how can you do so with the time/date? Or is it simpler than I thought? Sorry to bother you over this but I would appreciate a response, thanks!. — CRAZY`(IN)`SANE 05:47, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Font size on Hurricane Floyd

Hi. I urge you to reconsider your decision to use small font for references. Sorry, I have reverted your revert for now. Before reverting me again, please read my arguments on Talk:Hurricane Floyd#Font size for references. This is important for me. I do have problems reading that small font and I know enough people (also wikipedians) who have the same problem with small fonts. Do you really want to make reading for us that hard just to safe a bit of screen space? This is not paper here, so there is no book that gets thicker by this. And if it was a book I would have no problem with the smaller font because printed stuff has a much higher resolution than current screen technology. If you decide to disagree with me on this, I will seek input from other users. I would then propose to do an RFC about the use of small fonts for references. Thank you for your careful consideration.

This is not intended to put up a fight. I just have an important problem reading small fonts and don't see the benefit of making[REDACTED] harder to read in order to make a section a little bit less tall. Please assume good faith. Best regards and wiki-greetings, --Ligulem 09:33, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

copied from talk:Hurricane Floyd:

I apologize for being so persistent about the font size. I finally found out that I can define the font of the references for myself in my User:Ligulem/monobook.css. I would recommend to set the 85% font size for the references in Mediawiki:Monobook.css. I have posted a message on this on the tech village pump . Sorry again. --Ligulem 22:29, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

You know the line abut the PAGASA name you added to this article? Would you be able to list the source for that? a) out of interest and b) WP:CITE and all that. Thanks, mate. :D -- Sarsaparilla39 11:23, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

2005 AHS storm articles

Hey, as the latest 2005 vote indicates a 'yes' by a significant ratio, if nowhere near true consensus, I thought I would just explain how I see this interacting with the past. As we go backwards in time information on the lesser storms gets more sparse, and so non-notable storms fail to get additional information beyond their season summary. This means somewhere about 2002, any attempt to follow 2005 rules will cease to provide anything additional, so it is practical I think. I feel that this is an appropriate time for this dispute to go for mediation, personally I prefer the informal option at this time. What do you think of this idea?

Its finished, now all its needs is a good copyedit and it will be ready to go into the mainspace. Storm05 14:08, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

McKhan

NSLE, would you be willing to take a look at McKhan's recent behavior on Talk:Al-Ahbash?Timothy Usher 06:43, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Timothy, Are you trying to get me banned? Didn't you just writ these lines: McKhan, I agree with your comment way back in the talk page, "However, Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP don't appreicate that nor the fact that if I will write that page according to my wishes, that page will NOT be somewhat NEUTRAL like the way Tearlach has written."Timothy Usher 02:44, 15 April 2006 (UTC) - McKhan

Your relentless personalization of discussions is unacceptable, as a glance through the page's history will show. It is also entirely inappropriate to say you've been watching my edit history and insinuate that you somehow know where I live or what I do. Finally, consider the content of the article as it stands. Everything I've seen from you in our brief period of contact constitutes an ongoing violation of several[REDACTED] policies.

The reason I wrote what you've just referenced is that it shows that you consciously and deliberately wrote the article in a non-neutral way.Timothy Usher 07:42, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I NEVER wrote the complete version of Al-Ahbash. Tearlach wrote it. All I did is to include that table and I invited all the knowledgeable parties to get involved. Lets be honest and fair here. I suggested to you many times, on the Talk page of Al-Ahbash, that please go and educate yourself about the subject (in this case: Al-Ahbash) before contributing to Misplaced Pages Islam-related pages. Rather taking my suggestion seriously and sincerely, you are simply trying to offer your arguments which constitutes to POVs under Misplaced Pages guidelines. And on the top of that, you are trying to get me banned which is NOT only inappropriate but also uncivil as you are trying to force your POVs over the POVs who are directly affected and have some know-how of the subject. As far as, the knowledge of your wherabouts is concerned, It was listed on your own User Page sometime ago. It is perfectly normal and legitimate to see through the History of Misplaced Pages pages. How does it constitue to violaiton of Misplaced Pages guidelines? Even the Administrators do that. And last but not the least, as far as Al-Ahbash is concerned, Tearlach's version, a NEUTRAL, non-Muslim and non-Al-Ahbash party, continues to meet the Misplaced Pages NPOV guidelines - than - Al-Ahbash / Habashies' partially and promotionally written version which does NOT only lack balance but also elminates all the contrary elements. It is disservice and blatant violation of Misplaced Pages NPOV-guidelines to support a partially and promotionally written version. McKhan

May I take your kind attention to this Request for Check User which is pertinent in due course. McKhan

Happy Easter!

Sorry

I'm sorry if you think I'm too new to be an adminship but I've been being a Wikipedian since December, 2003. I just didn't have an account. I know all about Misplaced Pages. I have interviewed many Wikipedians and have even made friends with a few. I WAS a perfect adminship nominee. An old nominee, General Eisenhower 17:26, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Double Level categories

I see you reverted two of my changes. Please note that my purpose is to implement the Wiki interest in not having articles categorized both directly in a cateogry and indirectly in a subcategory of the category. Since the subcategory includes the article, what benefit is achieved by also having the article in the category? Thanks. Hmains 18:01, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Cyclone Monica

Hey NSLE, A Category 1 (Australian) Cyclone, Monica, formed early today in the Coral Sea. I followed protocol and added it to the 2005-06 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season page. Somebody saw fit to make a new page for it, something I deem superfluous. I have listed it for deletion and was wondering if you could speedy it for me. Let me know. Cheers.

Prasi90

I am not happy that Prasi90 has ended up blocked indefinitely. I recognize he has his reasons for feeling the way he does, but he has shown virtually no evidence that he intends to edit Misplaced Pages in a NPOV manner. His legal threats were the last thing though. At that point, there is nothing left to do but indefinitely ban him.--MONGO 09:04, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Re:LNBS

Sure. Hurricanehink 00:31, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

I did the articles and some of the links to them, but do I have to do all of them? I mean, what are the odds that someone would look for the page in the first place? Hurricanehink 00:42, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

OK, but what about other existing links. There are a lot of double redirects now. Should I fix them, or is it fine because it's a user page? Hurricanehink 00:56, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

I really apologize after what happened yesterday.I am trying to get some help for getting the page ready for publishing. You were 1 of my 4 choices, the other 3 were RattleMan, Jdorje and hink. You were very helpful before-would you be willing to help.I'll think of something to give in return. Thanks.HurricaneCraze32 20:31, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

'Jonathan'

Hi, you blocked Jonathan 666 (talk · contribs) as with an expiry time of indefinite (known sock/meatpuppet). I wonder if you could give me some more information, as you left no information on his talk or user page. I can see no vandalism in his edits, and socks/meats aren't in themselves a reason to block. Is he a sock of a banned user? I realise that this user has been using multiple 'Jonathan' accounts. He said that this was due to constant blocking accusing him of being a Daniel Brandt sock which he denies . I previously instructed him to stick to this one account, and that if he did I would review any blocks placed on it. The chances are, if left blocked he will use other socks, and I think it better (unless he is a banned user) that we encourage/allow him to use this sole account. I'm not going to unblock him, because you may have had a reason to block that I'm not aware of. But, I'd like to know. Thanks. --Doc 21:22, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I've had a checkuser done, which has confirmed that he's not Brandt. I then posted to ANI to get some more eyes, and there seems to be a general consensus to unblock. I'm going to do that, but if I have missed something obvious I'm sorry. Thanks. --Doc 23:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Request for leniency on behalf of Rgulerdem

Hello NSLE. I hope you will not take offense, but I have taken your advice and opened a request for arbitration at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration#Appeal_for_leniency_on_behalf_of_User:Rgulerdem. I believe 100% that you have acted in good faith. I just feel that an indefinite block is a very serious matter and I think the user deserves more of a chance to be heard. I hope this matter will resolve quickly so it does not take too much more of our time. Johntex\ 03:13, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
