Wikipedia Research Survey Request

Hello, I am a member of a research group at Palo Alto Research Center (formerly known as Xerox PARC) studying how conflicts occur and resolve on Wikipedia. Due to your experience in conflict resolution on Wikipedia (e.g., as a member of the Mediation Cabal) we’re extremely interested in your insights on this topic. We have a survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=400792384029 which we are inviting a few selected Wikipedians to participate in, and we would be extremely appreciative if you would take the time to complete it. As a token of our gratitude, we would like to present you with a PARC research star upon completion. Thank you for your time.

Just a note to say I was impressed with your rational, levelheaded comments on the RfA. —Viriditas | Talk 10:45, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My nitpicking

Hi Halo. Nice userpage! I hate to say this, but you have a minor problem with a (I admit nice) picture: Image:Slurms MacKenzie.jpg is licensed under fair use, and thus per WP:FAIR not allowed on user pages (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:FAIR#Policy, No 9). Sorry. Have a nice day! --Ligulem 22:55, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm here! :)

I'm around, dear, I've been planning to msg you all day - but trust me, I've been so busy all day preparing the damned Portal for Featured candidate that I've hardly had time to breath :) Can you hold for 5 mins hun? I know it's late at the beautiful UK, but I'll be right with you, I promise :) *mwah* Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 23:32, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hun, is there any way we can chat? Do you happen to have MSN, for example? I feel more comfortable there, and, umm... it's way faster too :) Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 23:50, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hah! Count on it, dear - I'll mail you my email addy so you can add me once you have it installed, k? Check your mail, I'll be waiting with MSN open. Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 23:56, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Thanks for your opinions on my RfA. With a final vote of (62/0/1), my RfA passed, and I am now an Administrator. I will work hard to ensure that the tools entrusted to me will not be abused, and will wield my mop proudly.
Happy editing! --Firsfron of Ronchester 22:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA and your vote

Hullo Halo,
Thanks for participating in my RFA! Ultimately, no consensus was reached, but I still appreciate the fact that you showed up to add in your two cents. Thanks for complimenting me as a user in your support vote, as well as keeping the count current throughout the RFA :). Although we haven't had much contact (as you said in your vote) I've read some of your comments on WT:ESP and I must say I'm quite impressed. You can feel free to talk to me about it or add some advice on my improvement page.

Sincerely, The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me)

Thanks from Yanksox

Hey, The Halo, thanks for supporting my RfA, which registered a tally of 104/4/7. Which means...

I am now an admin!!!

I was and still am very flattered by all the kind comments that I recieved, I will also take into account the comments about how I could improve. I guarantee I will try my best to further assist Wikipedia with the mop. Feel free to drop in and say hi or if you need anything. Again, thank you so much! Also, thanks for all the tallys, you deserve a barnstar for that. ;) Yank sox 04:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're cool.

Therefore, you get ice to signify how cool you are. Will ^{(Take me down to the Paradise City)} 10:23, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah. If we were any cooler, we'd be absolute zero. Will ^{(Take me down to the Paradise City)} 11:20, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Adminship

Thank you for contributing to my my request for adminship. Although I wasn't promoted to admin status, with a withdrawn vote count of 14/27/14, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was pleasantly suprised at the support, and was touched by it. I will also work harder on preventing disputes and keeping cool under stress. Hopefully I will re-apply soon and try again for the mop. Thanks again, Highway ^{Return to Oz...} 13:33, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My birthday gifts

I am completely speechless, my dear, dear Halo. I feel silly. I don't know what to say... you are beyond words. I'll talk to you later, you know where... please? Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 14:55, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sneaky me

I think I'll do something really nice for you. You won't know what it is until it's done and even then, I won't mention it here. You have to find it for yourself. :P — Nathan ^(talk) _{/ 18:51, 30 July 2006 (UTC)}[reply]

Comment on Phaedriel's RfA...

“

I thought for a second that it might be that you didn't like the way she did her hair or something

”

That caught me off guard and now I have three out of the five legs on my chair broken from falling on the floor … OK, so that was an exaggeration. I did laugh a lot though, and wanted to tell you that it was funny. *LOLs off into the distance* ;) $ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-T|ε|C|L-) 15:30, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing "personal" about the US being a police state

It's a recognized fact by everyone except a small minority of Republicans. I'm sorry the truth hurts you...but it's not an opinion. What's more, YOU seem to be the one reverting articles. I'm adding missing content, troll. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.124.6.4 (talk)

You are quite wrong about the US not being a police state. The US Government does exactly those things. Just do a web search on "police state." It's quite obvious. YOUR NNPOV should lead to a block of YOUR access. 206.124.6.4 15:56, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad you like the police state and are happy to participate by helping it with your censorship. I hope you feel proud of that. I sleep well at night. 206.124.6.4 16:16, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I always sleep well thank you ;) Th ε Halo ^Θ 16:17, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, daddy and mummy British Government standing over me. ~~Glad to know that not only do you push POV, are a troll, and make personal attacks, you also don't bother to check where a user comes from~~. Th ε Halo ^Θ 16:35, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

XD somebody should give this guy the barnstar of good humor - strike out the 'good' part. ;) Sergeant Snopake 16:37, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, don't feel the troll Halo. :) Syrthiss 16:38, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He's blocked for 48 hours, and I'm not usually around on saturdays...so if he comes back for more trolling don't hesistate to bring him back to AIV for it. Syrthiss 16:46, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
