I've just been reading your two new articles (Batman Treaty and Myall Creek massacre), and I have to say - they're the best new articles I've read in a while. Kudos. :) Ambi 15:09, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Just an opinion on style. Usually films are conventionally denoted thus: 'Heatwave(1982)' (ie used in IMDB)and generally across wikipedia. But you've chosen '1982 film Heatwave'- which reads more easily, but is not stylistically conventional. I prefer the former. But its your baby, as it were, so I'll leave it there. Eric A.

Hi Thebainer. Just wanted to thank you for supporting my RfA. I hope I'm able to live up to the confidence placed in me. And I look forwards to the day when I can do the same for you. Thanks again, --Cyberjunkie | Talk 03:43, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Phew. Some sense at last.
I think X thinks he is being NPOV but oh my he annoys me when he won't actually listen to anyone who disagrees with him. IMHO of course. BenAveling
Oh dear. Sorry to drag this sorry conversation over here. I wanted to talk about Xtra, not to him. :-)
Bainer, I know you weren't agreeing with what I wrote, and I pretty much agree with the position you put forwards instead. I misunderstood the current situation, which I have already acknowledged publically.
Thanks for using the word please.

You changed History of immigration to Australia to not use Australian Aborignes. What is your justification? (preceding unsigned comment by Mrmcgibby (talk · contribs) )
Look I truly appreciate your interest in this matter. But Ive been rudely, as usual, shafted by Ambi. How do I know that what I ever I contribute in the future will not get effectively censored by her? Whats the point. She wont neogiate with me. For some reason she is able to ignore wikiettiquette. Eric A. Warbuton 05:58, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Miss 'Ambi' unilaterally and preciptiously chose to remove the text of the treaty. I was not asked for my opinion, negotiated with or informed in ANY way. If fact I was treated as though I dont exist. Why? You tell me? When she puts the text back where I put it initially we can negotiate and reach agreement. And I'd like an apology. How many wiki etiquette rules has she broken. If I had behaved they way she has she would of had me banned long ago. Not only is she a petty thief she's a hypocrite. Eric A. Warbuton 02:38, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Well my first comment reads: Put the #### thing back please. I spent 20 minutes carefully typing the text. And its not an exact text anyway. There are at least five copies (not to mention the 'Geelong' variants) At the moment I not in the mood to a typological analysis of competeing texts. And why didnt you negotiate with me about the final resting place of this text? So put it back and we might discuss and come to a rational AGREEMENT. And stop stalking me. Note the word 'please'. How would you react if some one had deleted what you had spent a day finding the written text and twenty minutes typing (Im a slow typer)? Eric A. Warbuton 06:40, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
You are a law student at Melbourne Uni? I studied law there for a year, ages ago (as an undergrad). I'm now located in Queensland. You are right, the Australian law section on wiki has not been to active. Perhaps we can work together, but Im so new to this website i don't fully understand how to get to everything, etc. Thanks for the message. --Never29 05:23, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
I study Arts/Science. Arts/Law, yeh? What's your Arts major?
My major's Chinese, but I've done a fair bit of linguistics too. Next year will be my 5th, my last, yay! --pfctdayelise 13:54, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi bainer. I was just typing a reply to your email. Expect the nom to be up sometime today. Sorry about the delay, --cj | talk 23:05, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi again bainer. I've nominated you for adminship. Your RfA sub-page is located at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Thebainer. Best of luck, --cj | talk 00:07, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi bainer,
Sorry about my over-enthusiasm. i didnt know it had to be nominated through the community. I was reading all the High Court cases and found Dietrich v The Queen to be the standout for what a entry on wiki for a case should be. I will nominate it as a feature; perhaps it could also be noted on the WikiProject:Australian Law as a "template" or "example" of what to aspire to for a finished article about a case? --Never29 13:19, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Los Bainer,
Thanks so very much for supporting my Request for Admin. The final result was 38/0/0. I'm looking forward to spending my summer holidays shut away in a darkened room, drinking G&Ts and playing with my new tools ;-) Please accept this Tim Tam as a token of my gratitude. Good luck with your own RfA. Cnwb 22:53, 4 December 2005 (UTC)Although my RfA is not over yet, I figured that since so many people voted before it had been posted, I may as well start thanking people before it wraps up. It'll take me that long to thank everyone who voted anyway! Thank you, bainer for your supreme support - I'll do my best as an admin to make the reality of Wikipedia rise to the level of the dream. BD2412 T 23:46, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
It's my pleasure to notify you that, consensus being reached, you're now a administrator. You may wish to read the reading list and how-to guide at your convenience. Most sysop actions are reversible, the exceptions being history merges and deleting pages (but it's a good idea to be careful with all of them). Again, congrats on becoming an admin. -- Pakaran 03:15, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Enjoy you new powers and thank you.--Dakota t e 01:10, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the note! I'm sorry I didn't nominate you earlier; I, like many others, thought you were already an admin. As to exams, well, I passed law; while I only passed, it wasn't quite such a borderline pass in contracts as I got in torts last semester. I'd had a disastrous semester anyway, so I wasn't too displeased with that, and now I get to never, ever, touch contract law ever again. How did you end up going? Ambi 02:02, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
How does 2 delete, 0 keep result in "no consensus"? —Cryptic (talk) 03:49, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I think we've reached the right conclusion. Maybe next time you hit such an article, if you don't want to act unilaterally, just 'vote' on it yourself. Let the next admin do the delete/keep. In the meantime, good call. Regards, Ben Aveling 06:59, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Some users suggested that the page be moved into your user space. If you would like me to do this, then just ask me and I can undelete the page in order to complete the move.
Would it be possible to do so? Thanks.
Is it also possible to know why exactly you believed the article on Fullerton should have been deleted. I understand there was quite a consensus for deletion but a lot of this was due to the negative image as a result of the invasion of trolls who had nothing to do with me. I could hazard a guess that they were probably excitable pupils of Fullerton's who got word that he was on the site. When sources and evidence were produced they were ignored and overshadowed by the negative impact of the invasion. I went to quite an effort to find books which dealt with Fullerton in detail but this effort and the sources I provided seemed to be completely ignored. --Johnfullerton 01:20, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi, i was happy to support your RFA - just like many of the comments on you application your are a valued member of the community. Thanks for the wiki love! --Never29 14:41, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi there! I was wondering if I could ask of you a favour. I know there's a huge backlog at Wikipedia:Requested moves but would you be able to close the discussion at Talk:Kung hei fat choi in particular please? It's been much longer than 5 days, and some agitated users are still dragging it on... I won't say any more so as to not influence you. I'd close it myself but I'm involved. Thanks! enochlau (talk) 03:04, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Could you please look into recent edits on the andrew Bolt page, specifically by Mrlefty and 210.23.133.216 it appears at least that Mrlefty runs Boltwatch and is continually changing the description of boltwatch in the external links. I have reverted numerous times (have probably gone over 3, but I believe that Mrlefty's edits are a form of POV vandalism). Xtra 02:15, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
shut up. Ill do what i want —the preceding unsigned comment is by 4.21.182.18 (talk • contribs)
I made a contribution - "Wooden Ships" - so now I can make 3 vandalizations. After that I'll make another contribution - "cumfart" - with a picture of you (lololol) so i can make even more vandalisiziations. —the preceding unsigned comment is by Qpt (talk • contribs)
(comment out vandalism) --bainer (talk) 15:14, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
Another of my articles was recently deleted by you on the grounds that it was scree. You are obviously not familiar with the term. Scree, as defined in the oxford dictioanry and dictionary.com is " A slope of loose rock debris at the base of a steep incline or cliff." Or according to wikipedia's own definition: "Scree is a term given to broken rock that appears at the bottom of mountain cliffs. The term is generally used interchangeably with talus, though talus may be used more specifically to refer to scree in the context of a slope - that is, talus is scree accumulated on, or at the bottom of a slope..." If this has some deep metaphorical meaning, i would greatly appreciate it if you could explain it to me. Otherwise, I do not see how it relates to the topic. —the preceding unsigned comment is by Conrad-14 year old boy (talk • contribs)
