Re:De Lorean article

Hey, thanks! It's my favorite car so I had to do it. I want to get it featured on the Main Page as well, so it has an entry on Wikipedia_talk:Tomorrow's featured article if you'd like to support it. You are lucky to own a DMC-12, I hope you drive it and use it well! — Wackymacs 21:14, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Ah - I see why you felt moved to support it ;) I hope I didn't upset you by editing your comment, but after the recent kerfuffle over Christmas and Omnipotence paradox, that page really does not need "support" or "oppose" votes. Polls are evil. -- ALoan (Talk) 01:42, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Roses are #FF0000

I just wanted to let you know that poem is marvelous. If you wrote it you are an uber-geek and I am not worthy, if you didn't you still have a sharp eye for the good stuff. Hats off to you. < Puck 22:32, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Tagging templates

Be careful tagging templates. Some are used by transcluding only the template's text, which leaves no link to the original template. Be sure to check if the wording of the template appears anywhere else in Wikipedia (by using Google) and check how long it existed before tagging something for deletion. It seems to be going good right now, but it can't hurt to tell you to be careful. :) Happy editing! - Mgm|^(talk) 09:45, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Renamed user sIua6RGKd6qO/Archive2, and a happy New Year too! — Wackymacs 15:48, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Izehar's RfA

Hi Shinmawa,

I would like to thank you for your kind support on my RfA. I'll do my best to be a good administrator. If you need anything or if I ever do something I shouldn't have, please, don't hesitate to drop me a line. Izehar 16:45, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't usually go to Redirects for Deletion so might be missing something, but you seem to have deleted today's entry in your edits, as well as a bunch of other stuff. diff --Last Malthusian 23:37, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome. :P --Phroziac _. o º ^{O (♥♥♥♥ chocolate!)} 02:32, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Many thanks for your support on my request for adminiship, I'm sure you'll be glad to know the final result was 92/1/0. I am now an administrator and (as always) if I do anything you have issue with, please talk about it with me.

As for staying away from cats, well I'll do my best but no promises ;) --Alf ^melmac 09:47, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

AFC

You're doing some great work on RFC! Please don't forget to check the history (or the post if they signed) and include the IP of the user who submitted the text when you write an article or add text based on their request. This way you keep compliant with the GFDL. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:29, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

• Not sure if that includes redirects, I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. At the very least mention it's an AFC from a certain date so people can check the history for the name. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:35, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Woroniecki POV Check

The POV Check was placed prior to Oct 4, 2004. On Oct 23, 2004, the article was cleaned up to present both sides and conform to NPOV, and the check was moved by someone else. Since then, there have been no complaints, and the POV was left in the talk page in case there were any residual faults with the article.

If you think the article still needs POV revision, instead of moving the check, why not suggest a few places where YOU think it needs revision instead of misreading the sequence of dated talk page updates and moving the link presumptuously? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.163.100.203 (talk • contribs)

Response left was: Moving a {{POV check}} tag from the article to the talk page simply puts the talk page in the backlog. I'm currently doing some cleanup activities in the backlog and am making no judgements whatsoever on whether or not the page is in need of a check or not. If you feel that the there are no more neutrality issues, please feel free to remove the tag. Thanks and good luck. -- ShinmaWa^(talk) 22:50, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

Please accept my embarrassingly belated thank you for supporting my RfA, which much to my surprise passed 102/1/1, earning me minor notoriety. I am grateful for all the supportive comments, and have already started doing the things people wanted me to be able to do. And hopefully nothing else... Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 12:13, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

explain please?

I wouldn't mind if you could explain this to me: [1] -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 05:44, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

My response Drini's page: Hi Drini! Sorry about the goof there. I left a note on Jossi's talk page, thanking him for fixing my mistake. I also explained there what I think happened. To summarize: I was on RC patrol when I saw the vandalism to your page and reverted the same time that Zzyzx11 did. So in the collision, I ended up accidentally reverting Zzyzx11's revert (Edit #1). I immediately caught my mistake and reverted back to him (Edit #2). At that point, I thought all was taken care of. At that point, I made yet another mistake that I didn't catch at first. I used the BACK button on my browser to return to the Recent Changes page. In so doing, I backed up through my original "Edit #1" revert. Since I was using Lupin's popup tool, the bad revert was resubmitted without me even realizing it (Edit #3). Jossi was quick to pick up on my mistake and fixed it on my behalf. I left him a note of thanks in return. Anyway, I hope that explains the error. -- ShinmaWa^(talk) 05:54, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Drini's response: It's ok, ,I know you're one of the good guys, that's why I was confused and went to ask. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 05:55, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

DYK

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article 1st & Ten (graphics system), which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Good to see articles from AFC make it on DYK--Gurubrahma 04:57, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Isara article

I was surprised to find someone contributing to the Isara article! Unless you are PK (founder of Isara; I had invited him to help contribute to the article)? How were you able to come upon it? I noticed you are a member of the Counter Vandalism Unit; so maybe my excessive editing got you to check the article out? I also assume you are a fan of 24 (CTU)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.23.6.222 (talk • contribs) .

a suggestion on Articles for Creation

Thanks for your constant diligent work on Articles for Creation! I'd like to point out something you may not have realized: since most users who post to AfC are new to Wikipedia, they are likely to be confused by shortcut links like WP:NOT. I think newbies will find spelled out links like What wikipedia is not to be more helpful. Thanks. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 04:17, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Hi ShinmaWa. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to consider my RfA, which passed this morning, and for your kind words. If there's ever anything I can help you with, just ask; you know where to find me. See you back at AFC. ×Meegs 06:12, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

AfC

Hi. Thanks a lot for pointing out the tremendous problems that the page move to AFC/Today caused. The move has been undone and the two pages merged.

By the way, am I right to not hold my breath for your archiving bot? For the last week, I've been trying without much success to get another bot to take-over the archiving process, because I'm not going to be able to do it by hand for much longer. Regards. ×Meegs 06:38, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

ShinmaBot

I'm trying to clean up some of the backlog on WP:BRFA, and I noticed ShinmaBot (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is due a flag. Looking at the contributions, though, it doesn't seem that the account was ever used. Are you still interested in using this bot for maintenance on WP:AFC? Rob Church (talk) 16:45, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the message regarding ShinmaBot. I've been forced to take a WikiVacation due to some personal issues. I shall be back and ShinmaBot will be turned on eventually. Thank you for touching base with me. -- ShinmaWa^(talk) 06:42, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

That's not a problem, of course. Hope the personal issues are resolved soon, and thanks for the response. Rob Church (talk) 14:31, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

The Gnostic Movement

I noticed that you removed the prod notice from The Gnostic Movement with the comment that "Deprod - possible POV problems is not worthy of a prod. Fix article - don't delete."

However, as I explained on Talk:The Gnostic Movement my concern is has nothing to do with POV issues. Rather, it is whether or not we even need an article about this movement when it is mostly promotion and other gnostic articles cover the subject matter sufficiently.

Additionally, my understanding is that {{prod}} can be used for any uncontested deletions. Since you removed the prod notice - I was wondering if you could let me know why you think the article should remain given the objections I raised on the talk page TIA Trödel 18:22, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Thx for the note - the promotion is through using a series of websites that interlink and the only outside links appear to be from search engine submissions and PR post anything sites - I'll see if the authors respond to my obejections before taking it to AfD. Trödel 18:50, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Helpful hint

When following your article on haloacetic acids from New Pages, I noted that you seemed to be unaware of what's been nicknamed the "suffix trick".

You don't need to use a pipe to distinguish between a singular and plural of the same word... that's not too clear, but then it's past midnight where I live, so I'm perhaps not as articulate as I could be. Here, let me demonstrate using a specific example.

I could say that "My apartment is overrun by [[hamster|hamsters]], and that would produce the effect with which you seem to be already familiar.

But a quicker way of producing that same effect is the suffix trick, as follows:

"My apartment is overrun by [[hamster]]s".

You see?

I do hope this helps you to edit more efficiently in the future. DS 04:57, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Return

Shinmawa, I am very happy that you have returned from wikivacation. Best wishes ×Meegs 09:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and as of about two weeks ago we have Jitse's bot to handle the daily archiving, thanks to Jitse Niesen. I'm not sure what it'll do today, now that you've archived ahead of it, but we'll find-out at 00:09 UTC. Regards ×Meegs 23:18, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Oops, I see you discovered it already [2] ×Meegs 23:44, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

African American revert

I see what you mean, thanks for the clarification, perhaps that section of the article will need some tweaking.
