I wanted to alert you to edits I made to ANI concerning other vandals and socks that have been uncovered as part of Rubber cat's block. If you believe I have made a mistake, please let me know on my talk page. Thank you for all your help with this! Cumulus Clouds 07:27, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

...thank you for your participation. I withdrew with 83 supports, 42 opposes, and 8 neutrals. Your kind words and constructive criticism are very much appreciated. I look forward to using the knowledge I have accrued through the process to better the project. I would like to give special thanks to Tim Vickers and Wikidudeman for their co-nominations.
Bet you a fiver that User:BillyOaks is SEGA :-D . It's one thing to be a sockpuppeteer. It's another to have the same habits over n over n over. 156.34.142.110 20:38, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Haha, cheers mate! gaillimhConas tá tú? 00:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
I noticed your CU request, and considering that you appear to be dealing with something similar, I thought I'd ask you:
We have a case of a user who is continually evading his block, due to using alternate (non-static) IP addresses. Is there a way to deal with this besides just waiting for the next sock? See also User talk:Pastorwayne and the recent User:BrownHairedGirl#PW?. - jc37 01:56, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 17:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Don't be alarmed if you see a lot links back to my user page from the templates you use on my page. I am copying your style sheet, and slowly replacing them with mine as they are created. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 23:39, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Oi, Daniel, could you create DHMO (talk · contribs) (for impersonation) purposes? It's too similar to Dhmo (talk · contribs) for me to do it :( Dihydrogen Monoxide 01:19, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for removing it. Incidentally, I just posted at ANI. |dorf|trottel| |mess|age| 03:43, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
I was wondering if blanking your talk page is considered bad. At the moment I'm reverting, as if the user vandalizes and blanks all warnings they get they will mess up bots and possibly even humans who warn them afterwards. Thanks, Master of Puppets Care to share? 03:48, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Daniel. I'm hoping you can help me. I don't know what the other party said, but the "closed mediation" box at Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/John_Buscema isn't quite accurate. I never told him I wanted to go to Arbitration over conduct issues. This whole thing has always been about content (which apparently he now realizes is untenable or he wouldn't have switched).
I would hate to have an admin or arbitrator see the box and believe I agreed to something that I haven't. If you could help clear this up, I'd be very appreciate. Thank you so much for any help. --Tenebrae 03:54, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Pre-empting more questions (already recieved two emails) about these two username creations - a combination of preventative action and a casual request by someone affiliated with the club. I have control over the accounts, and have no intention of using them or "giving them out". Cheers, Daniel 04:40, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the input on the spam blacklist. Can I ask you preferably to log any listing you make and equally to provide a permanent link to a request or similar. I realise it seems like a nuisance however I know from experience on Meta that if an appeal arrives in six months time the site will get taken off the list if the admin cannot find the evidence. Trawling through the page history when the page is 100K log is impossible (I know I've tried it on meta!). Let me know if I can help etc - cheers --Herby talk thyme 09:00, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the barnstar! I've been plugging away the fish articles for while, especially the Sillaginidae (whitings), but still a lot more work needs be put in on fish articles. Thanks again! Kare Kare 09:56, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
I just checked in on my WP:CHICOTW and WP:CHICAGO colleague User:Speciate and see he nearly got booted after I called for his opinion on Jon Burge. You can see on its talk page it was a former WP:CHICOTW and a quick check at http://vs.aka-online.de/wppagehiststat/ for Burge will show why I called my colleague for his opinion. I have never been challenged by a pair of admins on content as I have on this article. Now, I think my colleague is on some sort of probation. You are on the WP:MC committee and I am not ready to raise this issue to that level yet. However, do you have an opinion on the propriety of the this edit and this edit. Before I pick a fight with a pair of admins I am just calling for opinions. It seems Speciate agrees with me although his voice may be a bit muted while on probation.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 16:55, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Mercury has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!

Four years ago this day, a foreigner was voted by the community to serve a land that he loved. Today, a new foreigner humbly accepts the charge and support of serving a community that he loves. Hopefully, he won't disappoint. Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a vote of (47/0/1). The trust bestowed upon me by the community is one of the most touching honours that I have ever received, and I vow not to let you down. Whether you have suggestions for ways in which I could improve, a request for assistance or just need someone to listen, my talk page and my email are always open. I pledge to do what I can to help this project, in the words of a man who needs no introduction, "make the internet not suck." A special thank you goes out to Tim Vickers for nominating me. Cheers, CP 22:49, 17 November 2007 (UTC) |
I noticed your merge and redirect decision on the Al Gore Controversies page. I have since made an entry on the Al Gore talk page inviting other editors to join the discussion on the merger. Would you please keep an eye on the article itself, to stop any edit war, before it starts. If you could keep the page on your watchlist, that would be great. Thanks.

Daniel, please don't take this the wrong way as I have much respect for your comments at RfA, but I'm a little concerned with what happened at Blueboy's RfA. You asked a series of 6 difficult questions, some of them were essentially trick questions. I would guess that 75 percent of successful adminship candidates do not know Wikinews' licensing policies. Help:Transwiki itself doesn't even mention this particular piece of policy arcana. Now his RfA is failing because of his answers to your trick questions. I don't believe it was your intent, but what's happened is tremendously unfair to Blueboy. Other candidates aren't put through a gauntlet of questions like that. WP:BN/R would not have been nearly so green the last couple of weeks if everyone had been asked the questions you put to Blueboy. --JayHenry (talk) 06:14, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
I received a note on my talk page about your close of the Fruit (slang) AfD. I responded here. Also, there is a talk thread, here. I wouldn't worry about it but I thought that you would like to know. : ) -- Jreferee t/c 15:15, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm curious, what do the different indentations mean at your subpage, User:Daniel/DYK? By the way, thanks for the work you do on maintaining the WP:DYK project, I've noticed your various updating and notifications lately. Curt Wilhelm VonSavage (talk) 11:42, 20 November 2007 (UTC).
Do wikipedia admins usually throw around assertions without argument or explanation? In this case, you and the initial admin are factually incorrect. My username is not made after a "god" but after a layman who, according to legend, had an encounter with the Buddha during the Flower Sermon. See the wikipedia article Mahakasyapa - "Mahākāśyapa or Kāśyapa was a brahman of Magadha, who became one of the principal disciples of Śākyamuni Buddha and who convened and directed the first council." This is not to be mistaken with Kashyapa, although the Sanskrit transliterations happen the same. A little research - and discussion, instead of unilateral assertion - goes a long way.

Daniel, if a discussion is taking place between three people and you have the situation where two support one thing and another wants something different, can you have consensus per wikipedia rules from just those two people? Please leave your response on my talk page. John Smith's (talk) 23:25, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
