Congratulations!

Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia 04:53, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

And can I be one of the first to say well done? Go get 'em! Brookie :) - a collector of little round things! ^(Talk!) 06:07, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations! And thanks for the cake! Ban e s 14:03, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the Jaffa Cake. Even though I like these, I shall have to ask you to donate my cake to a reputable charity of your choice as I can't have it believed that I promoted you in exchange for a sweet. Similarly, I hope that you have not solicited votes on the basis of promising voters unhealthy treats. -- Cecropia 15:56, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

LOL ^^^^....Yes Congratulations. I'll keep my treat though. Lunch time! :-D KnowledgeOf Self | talk 17:05, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you disambiguated Jewish to Judaism, it would be better to disambiguate it to Jew in most circumstances. Regards Arniep 22:35, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply, I'll have go at doing a redirect in the next couple of days. Thanks Arniep 22:44, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should probably be Jew rather than Judaism, as if someone types in Jewish, they are probably searching for Jewish people rather than the religion. Arniep 19:01, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Jaffa cake

Thanks for the jaffa cake, and yes; it looks much better than the previous picture. If I were to be pernickety I might suggest it were a little brighter and the oclours made more warm, although perhaps I'm just used to an advertisers view of how they want us to think of their food rather than the less glamorous looking truths. In fact I once made a blog post on a similar theme. --bodnotbod 22:38, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats

Congratulations, and you're welcome. Thanks for the cake! I wish I could have a real one; I've had such a donut craving lately. --King of All the Franks 23:37, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

black company, Largo, florida

Hi,

I'm new to Wikipedia. Do you know of anyone who is an expert on Glen Cook's Black Company?

Would you mind looking at the Largo, Florida page. I've added some things and need direction on improving it.

Is there a way to block a user page against vandalism? Every administrator page I've visited makes mention of vandalism. It's almost like a badge of honor you carry on your sites. I'm much to vain to take that sort of thing good-naturedly.

Thanks

Im not too sure why you deleted my addition of the Ben Folds song from this article? -Reid A. 19:59, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me.... thanks-Reid A. 17:00, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dan Andros

(Moved here from my user page)

Dude, why did you delete my article? Some of my fans posted it (Dan Andros). You deleted it because it was 'non notable'. Are you serious? 90% of the articles you started are VERY non notable. I'm willing to wager any amount that I am more well known (my show has 8 million listeners) than the people in most of the articles you started. And who the hell are you to decide what is 'non notable' anyway? What is 'non notable' about one of the personalities on the third biggest radio talk show in the United States of America??? unsigned comment by 71.224.190.212 (talk · contribs)

I got your response. So if the next post explains what show and all that sort of information it's good then?

Fancy a look over this one for me - needs the CLW bucket ? I'm the only contributor so far! Thanks Brookie :) - a collector of little round things! ^(Talk!) 15:44, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that - these nuns are becoming a bad habit! Brookie :) - a collector of little round things! ^(Talk!) 16:33, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Snicket project launched!

Seeing as you seem to have shown an interest in A Series of Unfortunate Events related articles, I thought you might want to know about a new WikiProject that I have started up, on the aforementioned topic. Please see it here! If you wish to help out, please sign up in the Participants section. Thanks! --Celestianpower ^háblame 19:59, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nina Persson

Hi, the archive link you posted in your edit summary is a red link. Do you have a different one? Thanks. Zoe (216.234.130.130 23:19, 19 December 2005 (UTC))[reply]

Hm. imdb claims copyright on the material posted on their site. Do you know which came first, what the editor posted here or what they posted on imdb? Zoe (216.234.130.130 23:42, 19 December 2005 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks. It's too bad the initial writer isn't still around. Zoe (216.234.130.130 23:53, 19 December 2005 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for reverting my User page. ERcheck 23:52, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merry Xmas

Have a good one - and sorry it's not a picture of a nun! Brookie :) - a collector of little round things! ^(Talk!) 11:10, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to see that not even Wikistory evades the CLW watch! Happy New Year. Brookie :) - a collector of little round things! ^(Talk!) 11:46, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg article picture

Hello. I noticed that you cleaned up this article, and removed the deleted link to the picture. Do you know what happened to the picture itself, why it was deleted? Thanks for any information you may have.--Azathar 14:18, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I could of sworn I put the copyright info, or at least the source url, which included the copyright.--Azathar 18:20, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures Question

Do you know why the images I submitted for the articles I edited were removed?

Deleted Pictures?

Virtually all the pictures I uploaded have been removed (in the Apple II Family article, and the new article on the Apple IIe computer which I submitted recently). Why were these deleted? None of these were copyrighted and I stated the source.--Apple2gs 11:55, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

deletions

hi there,

just wondering why you had deleted the page i made on "Klaxons"?

The RipOffs

Hi, I usually try to avoid relisting if at all possible. AFD is crowded enough as it is. But closing with no consensus to delete means anyone can renominate with impunity if it isn't improved (or if the band hasn't established more notability) in the next three months or so. --Angr (t·c) 21:04, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alkhemi and Aladin

Hi, back in October05 you participated in the deletion-discussion about a company called Alkhemi ([1]), which was subsequently deleted with your vote. Now the same deletion question is posed for another article about the man behind Alkhemi, a magician who calls himself Aladin. Despite being a truly bad article (extremely biased, outrages claims are made, and the sources used to back up those claims consist largely out of tiny newspaper snippets that are blown up out of proportion to make the subject sound like the second coming of the christ), the vote is so far flooded with "keep" votes, which might be because of dozens of sockpuppets, so I'd like to invite you to add your vote about this matter to tip the balance. The vote is here. Thank you :-) Peter S. 21:07, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ABBA categories

Hi there. We haven't 'spoken' before but I notice you have made a lot of edits to ABBA and its related articles, as have I... I think we see eye-to-eye on many aspects of this (i.e. the silliness of the constant Madonna refs, etc!). I don't know if you agree with me, but the current situation regarding the various ABBA categories seems to be in a complete mess. To my mind, the main ABBA category is almost all that is needed, with perhaps a sub category for the songs. I don't see the need to have subcats for members, albums, and silliest of all 'ABBA related' (which surely is what ABBA is for, by definition). The purpose of categories is to quickly and simply group a bunch of related articles together so that a reader may quickly find related topics. Tunnelling down from ABBA->Agnetha->Agnetha albums->the one you want seems pointless to me. I have reverted already a lot of the ABBA related stuff back to ABBA, but in doing so I noticed just what a mess the whole situation was. In contacting you I'm trying to see if I'm alone in thinking this, or if there is a consensus for improvement. If so, we need to get a few others involved to help make any changes and defend them. What do you think? Graham 00:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
