Userbox version

These are userbox versions of the barnstars that I previously gave you. Use if you wish : ) - jc37 11:23, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

The Barnstar EATEN BY A BEAR - Awarded to any Wikipedian who says something very humorous and or random, thus cheering up fellow Wikipedians who read it. And it is well deserved : ) - jc37 11:26, 16 November 2006

The Barnstar of Good Humor - Awarded to particularly light-spirited Wikipedians who, by their unshakably good humor, consistently and reliably lighten the mood, defuse conflicts, and make the Wikipedia a generally better place to be. Very well deserved indeed : ) - jc37 11:26, 16 November 2006

Hope things are ok

Haven't seen you around much. :) Syrthiss 17:48, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks for asking, things are well. It's just that work has picked up again for a bit, and so I'm left with little time for WP. I check in every day or so to see if there are any messages. --Kbdank71 21:56, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Well I, for one, am relieved : ) - jc37 23:23, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Jc37(second nomination)

Jc has allowed me post a nomination for admin, but indicated you may be interested in co-nomming. Feel free to add your name, and let me know either way and one of me you or User:Mike Selinker can break the news to Jc that s/he can accept. Steve block Talk 17:09, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

• That's just fine. Hopefully he won't have any serious problems this time. Merry Christmas. Steve block Talk 09:01, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

A request for assistance

Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 03:02 3 January 2007 (UTC).

I have no opinion on the matter. --Kbdank71 11:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

RW

I see you blanked a visit just recently from RW to User:Who, so you have seen this. I blocked the account, blanked his user page for posting a legal threat, and asked for comment at AN/I with almost no response from other admins. It looks like he might calm down when googling his name shows a blank page. He'd like his account removed, but I think the best tact is to delete the history of his user/talk page and leave blank pages for his name, and keep the account blocked. That way, googling his name will result in a blank page and no history. If his user/talk pages are deleteded, Googling him will lead to other discussions that have his signature. There is no way we can remove all traces of his existance here. Any comments? -- Samuel Wantman 07:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Deleting his pages will just leave redlinks everywhere, inviting people to recreate them. I like the blocking, blanking and protecting idea. You're right, there is no way to remove all traces, especially when he keeps showing up and signing his rants with his name. Nor is that our problem, really. We can do what we can, but if he really didn't want his name showing up everywhere, he probably shouldn't have used his full name as his user name. --Kbdank71 16:55, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

re: user:Whos

Hey Rick, saw your revert of User:Who's page. Do you think a block is in order for User:Whos for impersonation? --Kbdank71 21:06, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's his only edit (and the account was created immediately before editing Who's page) so probably. I just did. -- Rick Block (talk) 00:37, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I know it says you're on wikibreak but....

I was wondering if you could possibly comment on this category:UTC which you deleted in July 2005. Thank you! --CyclePat 07:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

From a year 1/2 ago? Don't really remember that one, so I can't add more than the log states (no opposition to deletion and it was empty, anyway). --Kbdank71 15:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Wheels and Slander

Ooh.. I was on roller blades, or something it seems.. wonder why i was wheeled :) Oh well.. And thanks for the "slander" cleanup.. geez, I don't even know who he is/was. Ce La Vi. Getting ready to move again, going to Fort Myers, wife moving to a new school, better programs there, so gotta go. Should be there between now and March. I think I may actually get back on Wiki.. gasp. . After the move, she will be busy with school and like usuall, i have plenty of free time. Till then.

«»Who?¿?^meta 06:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I've been keeping an eye on your "stuff" as it were, while you've been gone. And your blog, sounds like you two had a lot of fun. Good luck with the move. --Kbdank71 15:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Ahh, well I found out what the "slander" stuff was about. So to be helpful and nice I removed his name from the title moved it. I was going to update one of your archives to point to the new link, but you have the "don't edit this page" banner on it, so figured I would ask if it's ok first. Then I'm going to have forward page deleted by another admin. the old page was User:Who/Discussion log/R*** W****** the new page is User:Who/Discussion log/RW it's on your archive2 near the bottom of discussion 12.73.195.155. If you want to update it, or I can. For that matter, I am probably going to have you or Rick delete the original page, which is now a forward.

Thanks. «»Who?¿?^meta 09:33, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

How helpful and nice you are...  :) I don't mind if you change it. If it were just me, I'd leave it as is, especially since I see the page has been deleted now anyway, and I rarely go through my archives anyway. Plus, he seems to have quieted down. --Kbdank71 11:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

• Geez. I try to do nice things, be impartial, be helpful to new and old alike, and yet, I am being Wiki sued :) The madness never ends. Not that this is the reason I left, but it doesn't help any. Oh well, I already reviewed the case in question, and stand by my decision. The fun. So, how are things over there? «»Who?¿?^meta 03:42, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

You're kidding, right? That decision was how long ago? Do people not have better things to do? Anyway, join the club (although I think AMA isn't as bad as mediation). And while you're at it, read this and let me know if you'd have done anything differently. Things here are good. I'll fill you in more via email. --Kbdank71 04:30, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 March 5#Category:Fascist Wikipedians

Hi,

You determined back in October that a consensus had been reached on the category "fascist wikipedians," here. I was not involved in the discussion at the time, but looking back on it, I'm puzzled by that determination. The editor who originally created the category has petitioned to re-create it, and the fact that "consensus" was reached is being used repeatedly to rebut him. Incorrectly, in my view. If you could review your decision and contribute to the [[current discussion, I think that could be very helpful in calming a tense situation. -Pete 04:44, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Consensus

"User:Kbdank71/Consensus is determining what to do based upon what the community wants, but also based upon what is best for the encyclopedia."

While I agree with this view in principle, your statement is in error. That's not consensus. That's "consensus can be wrong". Which is manifestly true - even if we all really wanted to, the community couldn't decide to repeal the core principles, or rulings or policies (say, BLP) made by Jimbo or Arbcom or the foundation. But coming from one admin? That's just a little bit rouge. Thank you for weighing in on the DRV, but I'll have to respectfully disagree with this notion. --Random832 20:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

RobertG

I know that you're mostly "away" these days, but I thought you might like to know:

• WP:AN#User:RobertG has resigned

- jc37 10:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. That's a damn shame. I know exactly where RobertG was coming from. Too many times have I been thrown under the bus around here that honestly, I think I'll stick to extremely non-controversial things when I return. I'm here to help, not to get shit on. --Kbdank71 13:20, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Urdu script needed

Hakim Habibur Rahman needs urdu script for the name of the subject (Bangla script has already been added). Can you help? Aditya Kabir 09:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

No idea what you're talking about, sorry. --Kbdank71 13:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

CFD

Because of your edit history, I thought you might be interested in contributing to this deletion discussion. Thanks. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 03:36, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Offensive remark

I find your remark directed towards me to be offensive, and to be in bad form and poor taste for a user the promotes them selves as being a admin. I am requesting that you remove my name and reconsider your position as an administrator for your demeaning and degrading of other users. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 20:39, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

What offensive remark would you be referring to? --Kbdank71 20:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

My mistake i neglected to add it, the one here--Boothy443 | trácht ar 21:01, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Ah, that one. What about it do you find offensive? --Kbdank71 21:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Are you back?

Hello, I see you edited today. I hope that you are ending your break either now or in the near future. I always valued your contributions and thought that you should know that you were one of the people who positively influenced me when I was still learning the ropes. --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 03:49, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey, thanks! I guess I won't be reconsidering my position as admin after all.  :) Hopefully in the near future I'll be back, work + Wikipedia is more than I have time for, and I don't get paid for this. I do check my talk page every day or so, and I noticed that Boothy had his dander up over something I had written, and I wanted to know what and why. I'm guessing since he failed to respond, it must not have been that important. Anyway, thanks much for the kind words, it really means a lot. --Kbdank71 10:32, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Make that a yeah, I am back. What'd I miss? --Kbdank71 18:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, for starters, you missed this.  ;-) --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 19:26, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah, nuts. Well, please accept a belated congrats, and know that if I were around (or if someone had tipped me off), I'd have voted to support as well. --Kbdank71 19:29, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Guru

Why did you tag the Guru redirects for deletion? Lord Sesshomaru

They were redirects to deleted articles. --Kbdank71 20:19, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I just saw it. Lord Sesshomaru

Welcome back

Hi - Just thought I'd let you know I noticed you were scarce and have noticed you're back. All in all, I don't think things are too different. Radiant's back - not sure if you noticed that. Who's logged in a couple of times, but isn't regularly here. Worldtraveller left, basically in disgust. Danny resigned from his office position, and was re-promoted to admin in a fiercely contested RFA (nearly 400 !votes). I suspect you noticed the ruckus about Essjay. I've been paying almost no attention to CFD these days. I run a bot account now for miscellaneous this and that sort of stuff (nothing too heavy duty - see user:Rick Bot if you're interested - and if you're going to be doing a lot of CFD closing again maybe we should talk about bot assistance). I haven't been traveling much lately, but am still planning to buy you a beer if I ever end up in your neck of the woods. Hope things are going well for you. -- Rick Block (talk) 02:04, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
