Thanks.
I've decided that you have [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/WereSpielChequers|this]] wrong. but, as you know, I'm raher biased because I'm rather easy on RFA candidates. WSC isn't a vandal, seems to want to help out with admin stuff, and yet doesn't start/finish articles towards Wiki-invented "artificial standards". (ie, fa and ga). In other words, looks good to me. We've disagreed on other stuff, but at the same time, I was surprised to see you in the oppose section on this particular rfa. Just saying. I don't expect you to change your oppsition, just was surprised to see you land where you did.[[User:Keeper76|<font color="#21421E" face="comic sans ms">Keeper</font>]] <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">&#448;</span> [[User talk:Keeper76|<font color="#CC7722" face="Papyrus">76</font>]] 20:35, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
:By an odd coincidence, I was posting on [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AKeeper76&diff=241392675&oldid=241391072 exactly this topic] to your talk as you posted this. While I'm not at the Realist/Giano "must have ''foo'' FAs and ''bar'' GAs" level, I do think mainspace edits are important – not necessarily great prose, but just something to show they understand how hard article-writing is. At the end of the day, were every bot, ANI policy-wonk, arb, admin, Huggler and wikilawyer to vanish in the Wiki-rapture tomorrow, Wikipedia would survive (albeit get very messy very quickly); were the article-writers to vanish, we'd just be a fourth-rate chatroom with some very expensive servers. This is why the Gianos, Vintagekitses, Malleuses et al are respected despite not always treating the Great God Policy with due respect – and why I'll openly admit to occasionally proxying for banned editors when they have a constructive suggestion to make, despite it breaking every policy in the book; at the end of the day, the mainspace is ''all'' that we're about and policy arguments are just froth on the coffee.<small>&nbsp;–&nbsp;<font style="font-family: Zapfino, Segoe Script"><font color="#E45E05">[[User:Iridescent|iride</font><font color="#C1118C">scent]]</font></font>&nbsp;20:55, 27 September 2008 (UTC)</small>
::Obviously I can't speak for Giano or anyone else, but I believe that I treat the Great God Policy with all the respect that it deserves.

i keep getting flagged for information that i have edited on these two people...first for putting that serena williams weighs 185 lbs...i know her official biography states 150, but i met her a few weeks ago at a party here in new york and she personally told me she typically weighs anywhere between 185 to 190 lbs depending on her training and whatnot...also, i have had sex with al franken and i am a man..i think that makes him a homosexual...i just want people to know...thanks for your consideration <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/68.175.49.59|68.175.49.59]] ([[User talk:68.175.49.59|talk]]) 21:25, 29 September 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

=== Uhm... is this the place to message you? ===

Hi.

You have removed edits I have made from Aliens and UFO articles. I had put that they both exist, and I know this is true because I have been abducted, and I've had sex with Aliens. You also removed the information about Aliens weighing 185 pounds that I added. I know this is true because the Alien told me, when I was having sex with it, that they all weigh between 185 and 190, depending on when they last ate. So is it can be tiem for you to be putting this information back nao, plz?

One thing I do agree with the [[WP:BADSITES]] about is the arbitrary nature of who's "good" and "bad" at any given time. (Just read the sorry story of [[MyWikiBiz]] for a demonstration of how policy's made up as we go along). Beta's problem wasn't so much the clique of ZOMGevil dramamongers, but his unwillingness to ever admit that anything he did was wrong – just compare the streams of "fuck off and don't argue with me"s in his talkpage history with all the "thanks for bringing this problem to my attention, I'll fix it now"s on Gurch's or Misza's.<small>&nbsp;–&nbsp;<font style="font-family: Zapfino, Segoe Script"><font color="#E45E05">[[User:Iridescent|iride</font><font color="#C1118C">scent]]</font></font>&nbsp;19:51, 30 September 2008 (UTC)</small>

It's just not worth it. I agree, communication is key. When I first started to launch the museums project, there was a tagging related fall out which I brought up at the RfA to show I wasn't hiding it -- and no one voted on it. What came up?

::::::::"Kurt, Le Grand Roi, and Majorly trolling"? Oh, ''surely'' not! (In some defense; Kurt makes some very good mainspace contributions, and Majorly's vision of how things ought to work is genuinely internally consistent, it's just totally different to everyone else's, and I honestly believe he sees his posts as "helpful".

:::::::::Actually how I meant that was only Majorly trolling. And in that one he blatantly was - he was in his "User is an editor" mode. LGR and I never saw eye-to-eye, but like other editors he was young and meant well. At least he tried to contribute. Kurt amuses me. I've never had much interaction with him outside is "it exists" and "prima facie" !votes but I think I did thank him for being the first to call me a vandal. I live. If that was the worst that people could find to say about me during that week, I think I've done OK. there are others now more active in RfA who would oppose me -- Realist for one - but that's OK. I think RfA is broken but not because of the people involved. I'd support anyone who's rationale explained why they said what they did.

::Unfortunately the review got opened and closed in the few hours I'm not behind the computer (it does happen) so I missed the chance to add my 2 cents.

== Not a single mention of Sarah Palin on the page? ==

This is unacceptable, and has to change. And I've just found the opportunity: "[[List of Governors of Alaska]]" has been recently featured. I know we should do something about it, but I don't know what. (Perhaps I should repeat that thing I did to the servers last week and shut the site down.)

Any ideas from the Stalking Corps? [[User:The Duke of Waltham|Waltham]], <small>[[User talk:The Duke of Waltham|''The Duke of'']]</small> 03:28, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

:Take this one to Keeper's talk. I could not care less about Sarah Palin, think Intelligent Design sounds like something someone thought up in the bath one day whilst drunk, have no strong opinions for or against paid editing, and still have no idea who Lyndon LaRouche is and have no desire to find out. I'm not the one to talk to on the "hot button" topics.&nbsp;–&nbsp;<font style="font-family: Zapfino, Segoe Script"><font color="#E45E05">[[User:Iridescent|iride]]</font><font color="#C1118C">[[User talk:Iridescent|scent]]</font></font> 13:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

:: Oh, I couldn't agree more about Intelligent Design. I just remembered as I was reading the late, as usual, ''Signpost'' yesterday that ''someone'' on this page had a fixation with Palin, so I thought I'd post. (For those who care, here's [http://blogs.suntimes.com/scanners/2008/09/president_bartlets_advice_to_o.html a quote's quotation of a quote] about the subject which I find amusing; it also alludes to the problem of the unrecognisability of irony in modern America.)

==Talk pages==
Hi Iridescent. I couldn't help but notice that your last 35+ blocks prevent the user from editing their talk page to appeal their block. There's currently a thread denouncing this practice at WP:AN. If you are using a blocking script please update it, and please revisit your recent blocks, especially the longer ones. Thanks. -- [[user:zzuuzz|zzuuzz]] <sup>[[user_talk:zzuuzz|(talk)]]</sup> 15:34, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

==Gwen Ifil==
Hi, since admins are the only ones who can protect articles, i was wondering if you could protect the Gwen Ifil article, i noticed you had reverted recent vandalism of the page, such vandalism is becoming a problem as right wing editors continue to try to create controversy where there isnt any. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/99.241.45.26|99.241.45.26]] ([[User talk:99.241.45.26|talk]]) 15:49, 1 October 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
