| Hey, Linuxerist/May 2006, thank you so much for your vote and comments in my RfA, which passed with an overwhelming consensus of 95/2/2. I was very surprised and flattered that the community has entrusted me with these lovely new toys. I ripped open the box and started playing with them as soon as I got them, and I've already had the pleasure of deleting random nonsense/attacks/copyvios tonight. If I ever do anything wrong, or can help in some way, please feel free to drop me a line on my talk page, and I will do my best to correct my mistake, or whatever... Now, to that bottle of wine waiting for me... |

A well deserved award

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar | |
| Thank you very much for your kind words, and many barnstars. I feel really good now, because my wikistress has lowered. I will keep it in a sub-page when the need for an archive comes. You seem cool too, and you're really good at "virtual UNO!." If you need help with anything here, or in general, feel free to ask Here. :) Whopper 02:40, 8 May 2006 (UTC) |

Litre
[edit]Those vandals were especially busy today. Sorry about the edit conflict. I noticed you don't have a geo cat on your user page. Have you thought about adding [[Category:Wikipedians in Georgia, USA|{{subst:PAGENAME}}]]? —Viriditas | Talk 07:38, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
I was Blocked
[edit]My brother played a prank on me, and got the my ip blocked. It was under the name "linioaxerist". Could this please be fixed? Thanks. I'll deal with it afterwards. ~Linuxerist E/L/T 02:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC) {{unblock|edits were made under the same ip as me (being in the same house) as a sockpuppet. ([[User:linioaxerist]]) The sockpuppet no longer has access, and I have done no harm to Wikipedia. (at least not intentionally). }}
- Looks like the autoblock has been removed. --pgk(talk) 06:53, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Smiles
[edit]Whopper has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}} or {{subst:smile2}} to their talk pages. Happy editing! Whopper 02:28, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Also, I would suggest looking at the examples on the smile pages. It makes the messages more customisable. --GeorgeMoney T·C 00:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
Will you join My Picture of the Day? The reason I have it, is so images that aren't Featured quality can still be featured. Anybody can put a picture there. All you have to do is pick a day for your picture, and create a page in "User:GeorgeMoney/Month DayNumber, Year". Then, use the following format: Put {{SUBST:User:GeorgeMoney/potd/template|image=Your image.jpg|width=500px (optional)|description=<an optional description>|size=250px (optional)|user=Your Username}} on the page of the day you are creating (Remember for all of the optional variables that you don't use, totally remove them from the syntax). Then all you have to do is put {{User:GeorgeMoney/potd}} on your userpage, and it will automatically make the picture for the day. If you want to have it show your picture forever, put {{User:GeorgeMoney/potd|May 47, 2009}}. Replace "May 47, 2009" with the day your picture will be on.
Also, can you add your name to My Spamlist? Don't worry, my spam isn't bad and annoying like the Esperanza and Community Justice spam. My spam is just news and events in plain text formatting like this.
Thanks, --GeorgeMoney T·C 02:12, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry if this spam seems a little weird, but it is the first spam.
Dear people:
User:Iamthejabberwock needs a new name! Would you please suggest a username for him. The reason for this is because he doesn't want to get confused with User:Thejabberwock.

IQ Userbox
[edit]Where / how did you find your "IQ" to be 187 and what test is that number a result from? There are at least 4 standard IQ tests that I know of with varying results. 187 is very high... if you're going to state a number that high, you are obviously proud of it but have no proof(?). I think some statement proving such a claim would make it slightly more respectable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Say2joe (talk • contribs)

Please change your wikibreak notice quickly and accept. — Nathan (talk) 22:04, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
I don't know what you were thinking either but I am glad to hear you are back. I wish you the best of luck on you RFA. ILovePlankton ( L) 01:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Your RfA
[edit]I'm sorry but I've voted oppose on your RfA. I wanted to let you know on your talk page that you're doing a great job in encouraging community on WP, and that your work here is greatly appreciated. Thanks -- Samir धर्म 03:26, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
I've added two new questions to your RfA. When you have a minute, I'd appreciate if you would take a look. Thanks. JoshuaZ 04:31, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Linuxerist, I've added a question to your RFA also. regards, FloNight talk 07:05, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Good luck
[edit]If you want, i could design a neat template for voters. Well, all the best of luck (P>S, i added two questions too, thanks, and good-luck. Whopper 17:59, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Nice to meet you
[edit]Hello again Linuxerist. It was very nice to meet you during your RFA. I look forward to working with you. I'll look for your next RFA. take care, FloNight talk 01:59, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
After getting much more experience, you will get a better chance to succeed in RfA. Good luck and do not feel discouraged.--Jusjih 06:15, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Re: My RFA
[edit]Stay on course, and the mop, bucket and keys will be yours before you know it. :) RadioKirk talk to me 02:54, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- I voted oppose, but I want to thank you for your work and encourage it. I believe in stern dealing with vandals, but let's give just people the soft option first to see if they respond in kind... Tyrenius 03:17, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Keep doing the things you've been doing. Cheers :) Dlohcierekim 03:46, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Re:My RFA
[edit]Thank you for your recent vote on my RFA, regardless of how you voted. I appreciate all votes. I am going to wait until I have more edits in all namespaces. (And also improve answering impossible questions ;). Hopefully one day I will be more sucessful than it was looking, once I meet most user's voting standards. Again, thanks for your time! I am curious as to why you do not like my usage of images in my signature. It doesn't violate WP:SIG... ~Linuxerist
E/L/T 02:30, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- I share the sentiment of Samir and others above. You are a fine editor, and you will likely gain enough experience to be an admin after a couple more months or so. In your RFA, I mentioned that I was a little concerned about the use of images in your signature. This is only a minor issue, and I think it is ridiculous to oppose an RFA based solely upon the candidate's signature. However, I would like to know why you insist that your signature does comply with WP:SIG. Is there something that makes your signature any different from other signatures containing images? --TantalumTelluride 04:29, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Congrats

Seeking Editor Review Commentary (If You Like)
[edit]Hi. In conjunction with my RfA (that you voted on), I have created an editor review, to give people a chance to comment as to ways in which I can branch out or alter my contributions to Wikipedia. An RfA seems to solely focus on how one's temperment and contributions relate to how they might handle administrative powers (and the consensus on that seems to be that I'm not quite ready); the editor review opens things up a little more to a larger focus, and I'd love to hear community feedback in the sense of that larger focus, too. If you feel you've already expressed yourself sufficiently when casting your vote, then by all means don't worry about it, but if any thoughts come to mind or if you'd like to expound upon any suggestions or commentary, it would be appreciated. In any case, I appreciated you taking the time to express your opinion on my RfA, and I thank you for that. — WCityMike (talk • contribs) 19:55, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Question
[edit]How do you modify your signature. so that when i leave four tildes, it has the E/L/T buttons you have, or whatever icons... Adam the atom 00:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Changed
[edit]Not at all. As a matter of fact, if you have any tips on how to figure that out in a timely manner, I'm open to suggestion. I find that if I take to long looking at the talk page, someone else reverts it and VP will process the rollback, then continue to add a duplicate warn for the same entry. So anyway, I take a stab at it and err on the side not hammering them unless the content of the vandalism is particularly egregious – then I hit it with a higher warn – even for a second time.

| File:Atlanticpuffin4.jpg | Hello Linuxerist. Thank you for your support at my request for adminship which ended at the overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0), and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation. You can see me in action and observe what then happened as a result. Naturally, if I make any procedural mistakes, feel free to point them out. I look forward to working with you in the future. In the meantime, enjoy the sunny Georgian summer! Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 05:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC) |
