Good to see you here again

Welcome back, dear, and congratulations! So sorry I am late here... I am only able to be on erratically these days. I am so happy to see you here, though! Wikipedia is a brighter place with you in it. KillerChihuahua^?!? 21:50, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Your powers of Wiki markup and HTML never cease to amaze me

8-O —  $PЯINGrαgђ  22:35, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Now, now Sharon, my hair is red but that's where I want to keep it. ;) Really I didn't try to be—ah, shall we say—ostentatious with them; I think it's just that you deserve them, eh? ;) Although Will does too but somehow I gave him all his at the same time -blush- —  $PЯINGrαgђ  04:18, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

userpage suggestion

Hi Sharon, I like your new design. If I may be so bold to suggest a change... I read your touching tribute to those Wikipedians who have chosen to leave, and I wondered if you might want to add links to the different users' names. I hope that this message finds you in good spirits, and I hope that things are going better for all of your friends. --Kyoko 01:13, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I would be honoured to write something for Elara, but I also wonder if she might prefer to write something herself. I can ask her if you'd like. Then again, it might be more meaningful to her if it were written without any input from her. Please let me know what you think. --Kyoko 12:53, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I'll try to think of something appropriate. Thanks! --Kyoko 13:10, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I put a preliminary text on your page. I hope Elara likes it. I tried to capture her outspokenness, her compassion, and her dedication to the project, before she decided to leave it. I wasn't certain whether to mention the many tragedies in her life. If you want to see an alternate dedication, look at this old revision of my userpage, under the "Some thoughts" section. --Kyoko 13:44, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I'll ask her about it later, but I really have to go now. Have a good day! --Kyoko 14:04, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey

Just welcoming you back after noticing this page on my 5000 page watchlist :/
Congrats on the baby :)
GeorgeMoney (talk) 01:31, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm fine, just came back from a long wikibreak as well :). I also now run tons of bots and written tons of scripts. Hmm I dunno what else to say ;). GeorgeMoney (talk) 03:13, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

GTalk

I'm back on Google Talk now. System Restore was unsuccessful, btw. Will ^{(I hope they cannot see, I AM THE GREAT DESTROYER!)} 01:58, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

/me is still wondering what happened on Google Talk - you disappeared in the 10-20 minutes I was offline! Will ^{(I hope they cannot see, I AM THE GREAT DESTROYER!)} 03:19, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

*grin*

Excellent work, matey! I should upload a photo of myself wearing a cape or something, hmmm? :) Thanks for the laugh! Hope you and yours are well. And the new userpage is looking excellent! – Riana ^ऋ 03:22, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey

Just dropping by to hola! I didn't get chance to bump into you before you went on your extended wikibreak, but I've always been intrigued to meet the user that got nearly 300 on their RfA, you seam like one of the most pleasent wikipedians I have ever met. I wish you all the look in the future, and hope you don't decide to leave again! All the best, and if you ever need anything, you know where I am. Ryan Postlethwaite 17:47, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Sockpuppets!

Here is an award for your hard work in defense against sock puppets

		Sock Puppet Valour Award
		For your prompt blocking of sockpuppets, I give you this sockpuppetstar! Keep up the great work. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:52, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

/* Sorry! */ uh.... excuse my childish brother he has been editing so user pages I seen and I deeply apologize to the hard-worked people he has ruin peoples user page and my so sorry. Arnon Chaffin 19:36, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my user page

It's interesting that a spammer in London I reverted and warned recently has a friend in the US state of Arkansas to delete his warnings and then do some other dirty work for him. Regards, CliffC 19:37, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

RFC

Seeing an admin in this Temporal single-system interpretation article was a massive relief. Seeing the crazy amount of edits and reverts that have been made on that page in the past day I (think) i opened a RFC on the talk page. It would be a great help if you could look at it and see if I put it in the right place or if I was supposed to post it somewhere else. I stuck my head in there for a minute and someone was already getting mean, haha. Anyway thanks for anyhelp I can get. MrMacMan ^Talk 20:01, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Simple English Wikipedia impersonator

Hello, Phaedriel. I am an administrator at the Simple English Wikipedia, and today I noticed a vandal-only account by the name of "Phaedriel" (talk page). It's clear that this account isn't you; therefore, I will submit a request to change the offending username to something else. Once the request is done, I strongly suggest you register an account over there to prevent any further impersonation. Cheers, Sean William 20:01, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

The vandal's account will be renamed within the next few hours or so, so you'll be able to re-register your name once that is done. I believe that, when renaming, the old account is "deleted" and replaced with the new account, in which case the name will be available. Sean William 21:17, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Update: Our two active bureaucrats haven't been around for the past few days. My request for temporary bureacrat access was denied by the stewards on IRC, so we'll have to wait until the 'crats return. Cheers, Sean William 23:39, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I'm one of the local bureaucrats on the Simple English Wikipedia, I've now renamed the account so it should be ready for you to register. Sorry about the wait. Thanks, Archer7 18:17, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

TSSI revert

I don't understand: why did you revert to what is obviously the least neutral edit?

Elara description

Hi Sharon, I'm having a very hard time trying to get Elara's description just right. She's partly explained her reasons for leaving on her userpage, and extensively explained them in a long e-mail to her friends, but I am having difficulty distilling all that into a short statement. Because of that, I've asked another editor, appropriately named Editor at Large, to rewrite it as she sees fit. I hope you don't mind. I really want to get this right, but I keep going through different versions in my head, without finding one that is both short and accurate. I also want to say that it is very kind of you to list her on your page. --Kyoko 00:07, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

:-)

Hey Sharon, it is amazing how long it has been. I too remember those posts: it makes me smile to know that you remembered them as well! I got your message and was on my way to replying when my PC decided it was ripe for a freeze job. Now I am getting ready to whack more vandals before I depart for Never Never Land! Hope to receive a reply soon. I love hearing from you, we have much to catch up on! :) Cheers, KOS | talk 01:17, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you very much for the sunflower and kind words on my talk page it sure brightened my talk page which is more often rifled with complaints of why I deleted an article on somebodies band and vandalism by friends of gay people, than beautiful sunflowers. I would love to take you up on your offer to "blow a little magic wikifairy dust" over my userpage and make a little design (That is apparently an area I lack skills in). Of course I can forigve you for "hijacking" my userpage, its always to remeber that that I dont own it :). Also, thank you for your support of WP:DENY! Well, I am sure I will see you around. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 01:19, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey

Glad to see you here, I hope you keep up the great job here and the best of luck with you with the life thing. Yanksox 02:04, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Erm... You sure that's a good idea? WP isn't a beauty contest last time I checked... --kingboyk 15:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I demand that you add Kingboyk and Springeragh to that list! :) Phaedriel - 15:43, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

lololol! I must confess, that was the true nature of my objection! Why am I not on it?! I'll also have to admit that he has fine taste in ladies. Doesn't make it appropriate though ;) --kingboyk 15:47, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Get Phaedriel on top of that list this instant! :P Oh and Sharon, that would be Wikipedia's handsomest users for the guys, in which case the honour goes to The Halo, Will, Antandrus, and Bkell. :) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  16:14, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

You're too modest, Cliff! But, I have a few other candidates of my own... I might also add Chrislk02, Francis Tyers, Gmaxwell, Amcbride and Ryan Postlethwaite to that list (although I'd like to see Ryan in a sober state too! ;) Uhm, besides from you and Kingboyk, that is ;) Phaedriel - 16:21, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, it gets long enough that we may just need to incorporate it into someone's userpage anyway! :P —  $PЯINGrαgђ  16:24, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

See? The idea wasn't that bad after all... ;) Anyway, enough of this for now, we have work to do, gentlemen! Nothing to see here, move along... Phaedriel - 16:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Ah, yes. Those of us with large watchlists will know that there is much vandalism to be reverted! Farewell. <exit stage left> ;) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  16:29, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I certainly will! (but I'm stealing the internet off next door (it might break off) as my housemate spent the net money on a night out so we've been cut off) - I'm looking forward to the email! Ryan Postlethwaite 23:11, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Pastime with Good Company

Hi Phaedriel, welcome back and congratulations on your baby. I noticed Pastime with Good Company at DYK and made minor edits to the punctuation marks and refs. Basically this is what I did:

sentence.<ref>

instead of...

sentence<ref>.

...which is not really a big deal but mostly I wanted to stop by and say welcome back! D. Recorder 21:04, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Introducing new BC/Indigenous Wikipedian/friend

Hi Phaed, this will be one of my last wikinotes, email only after Monday night, maybe Sunday night only, and only tidying up last undone things; but among them was some advice I promised for User:OldManRivers, who is Sḵwxwú7mesh and Kwakwaka'wakw and has done a lot for indigenous peoples' perspectives/concerns/contents both in Wiki articles and how we've been organizing and titlign and defining them; Please see this on my talkpage and adopt OldManRivers for me - and you're who I would have come to looking for good regional/peoples pages like what he's asking for, i.e. representative indigenous peoples' articles worth modelling on for the scale/range of content he's wanting to build. Too long a story to tell you all the stuff we've collaborated on; I'll let him tell you all about it, and your help with BC First Nations and also WA/OR/ID/MT content and structure issues would also greatly be appreciated, if only as a doyenne/outside observer/editor if not as someone directly knowledgeable on this group of peoples; as always with Wiki this is how we wind up learning all the amazing stuff we do from it, by exploring and building it at the same time. I've said enough, so must sign off and hit the proverbial hay, but asking you "take over" Dustin for me and guide him as needed; you know far more about what's out there in Native American articles and the project overall than I do; he's another one that has my email address so any burning BC topic/content issues you can always bring to me; I just will be trying not to be on Wiki directly, for the reasons I told you about.... ;-) G'nite (and Hi Dustin; I know you'll find this!).Skookum1 09:52, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes Skookum1, I would find this (Mostly because you sent me the link to it...lol). And also Hello Phaedriel. I'm planning on starting an Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast for a bit more specific take on Indigenous peoples in this area as it differs considerably from the rest of the the America's, and even more specifically, the rest of Canada and the US. I've been using Indigenous peoples of North America to references Indigenous nations in the Pacific Northwest Coast, but it's too expansive and doesn't give enough information for what would be an introduction for outsides (or even insiders who don't know) about the Indigenous in those parts. I asked Skookum1 is he knew any articles that would be good to look at for reference, although this will be an interesting article. I don't even know if there is another article out there on a number of ethnic/nation groups within a geographical region. Either way, I think it's needed. An article like this would be a great introduction and spread out of all the Indigenous groups along the coast (Coast Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth, Kwakwaka'wakw, Haida, Tsimshian, Tling'it, Heiltsuk, etc.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kurt Nimmo

Thank you fro intervening sense no else seems to be responding. I wonder if you could also delete the New-antisemitism tag, which I suggested on the talk page. Besides biasing the article, it's also irrelevant sense Nimmo is mentioned nowhere in the New-antisemitism article. annoynmous 23:27, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

It kills me to contact people repeatedly about e-mail because I don't like coming across as pushy, etc. but I think either your e-mail to me didn't go thru or it hasn't been sent yet. I'm sorry to bother you about it. —  $PЯINGrαgђ  03:30, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

You stole my idea! Well, a similar idea. I plan on devoting my userpage or a portion therof to a person I consider to be a wikipedia hero, for all of the positive and good work somebody contributes to this project.

Could you Please help me

I don't know if you have the power to unblock articles, but if you do I need your help. Jaygy is wikistalking me and is blocking articles so I can't contribute to them. The articles are Alan Cabal, Kurt Nimmmo and Ward Churchill. Jaygy claims he's blocking them because of edit waring, but if you go to my talk page he all but admits that it's because he disagrees with my edits. I haven't violated the 3rr rule in any of these articles. He always seems to block the articles after the other person has restored there edits. In my opinion he has a bais against me.

In the Kurt Nimmo article he still refuses to lift the ban even though an issue originally under contentio has been settled. Basically I am prevented from editing the article because I might edit another part of the article. In my opnion that shouldn't matter because once the origianal issue under contention has been settled, shouldn't I be allowed to contribute to other parts of the article.

In the case of Alan Cabal, I reverted another editors edit once and jaygy called that an edit war even I had only been involved with that article for a short time. It's clear that he disagrees with my edits and he's hiding behind the mask of neutrality that he's just preventing further reverting.

Could you please get these articles unblocked.annoynmous 04:36, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

MONGO RFARB

Hi Phaedriel, You may be able to save us all, and especially ArbCom, some time. You have said that I "receiv[ed] an apology from MONGO soon [after his remark was made]." Like I said, until the RfC (two months later, well into dispute resolution), I had not, to my knowledge, received anything of the kind. If you can provide the diff of MONGOs earlier (and, I imagine, unforced) unconditional apology and retraction then I am in the wrong. I will not only withdraw the RFARB but withdraw from Wikipedia with apologies for having wasted the community's time all along, and for having wrongly impugned MONGO's civility.--Thomas Basboll 08:18, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
