This user is busy picking his nose and may not respond swiftly to queries.
i may answer you here, on your talk page, or i may decide to communicate telepathically. if you have emailed me and i didn't answer then please scream at me angrily to check my email.
LOL, yes it appears to be a potential victim. I was very disappointed your RfA didn't pass, you have obviously done a lot for the encyclopedia. I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to go through it again, but I really do think you deserve the admin tools. Take care, daveh4h16:34, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Award for you
Furry Beast of Death
First I see that you've reverted some vandalism on Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and then I click over to your user page and see that you have funny pictures of two of the animals which I find hilarious. I instantly knew that I had to present so worthy an editor with my third favorite animal...and in this case it's all the funnier, because it looks quite obese. Anyway, I present you with this Splendid Sumo-Sized Squirrel of Silliness. Enjoy!
It will of course be displayed on my user page with great pride. I've always dream of a day someone would award me an obese barn-squirrel, imagine my surprise when I found out that today is the day. Thank you very much. :-D daveh4h18:08, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I saw your tag removal on the article's page. I too felt the same but couldn't do so due to disagreement with another user. Thank You for the same. --AltruismTo talk12:17, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There are a lot of cases where the {{NPOV}} tag is very useful, but for that article I just didn't see what the big deal was. I didn't see that the tag placement was articulated very well, so I felt the removal was justified.
There's really no need to thank me, as I just did what I felt was right, but I appreciate your thanks. :-) Happy editing, daveh4h16:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Re: Your question on my RfB
I answered your question on my RfB, and ended up rambling on about ignoring rules and the spirit of policy, but you said an open answer was good so I left it there. :-) --ɐuɐʞsəp(ʞɿɐʇ)05:28, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I wanted to leave it open because I felt like I wanted to hear your response to it now, but really couldn't formulate the proper question. For what it's worth, I thought you answered well and generally I agree with your philosophy.
I noted this on the RfB, but I really did go through your contribs heavy since you seem to be a serious candidate for RfB. From all I can see you are more than qualified. I'm hoping that you earn 'cratship. :-) Good luck to you, daveh4h17:04, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't catch the edit summary...ayayayay. AgentFade2Black 23:38, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Can you help
Sorry to bother, is there a quick way to view users contribs when I am on their discussion page? I can't seem to find the link. Floodamanny15:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There is a link that says User contributions to the left under the search box and "toolbox". That will bring up all the contributions that member has made. Hope this helps? And it's no bother, I'm happy to help. daveh4h15:20, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Tool at FAC
Hey Dave! I will be submitting Tool to FAC tonight or tomorrow. It would be insane/awesome/a waste of time/disturbingly unpleasant/appreciated if you could help me out getting this article to FA status. Since I will be moving from Barcelona back to Berlin on Wednesday, I will most probably be very grateful for any spare minute you could spend on addressing any of the objections that the article will encounter. As soon as the article is listed, I'll post a talk topic at the Tool talk page. Thanks in advance, of course I will return the favor whenever you're in need. Johnnywtalk19:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sure Johnny, I'd be happy to help. If there are any issues right now that you want me to take care of, I should have a few hours later tonight to devote to it. Other than that, I'll go through and tighten the prose where I can and that sort of thing.
I noticed the peer review this morning. About the articles used from toolshed, how do we go about finding ISSN numbers for them? The reviewer raised a good point, but A)I wonder if it is a copyright vio, since the entire magazine isn't being reproduced just an article and B) It's a lot easier to point a reader to a URL where the article is than asking them to find it offline.
Don't worry, up until now, everything went smoothly. But take a look at the the tool faca now. Someone actually strongly opposes the FAC. And although I see some of his points, some I find rather questionable. Well, I am gonna take a deep breath and see what I can do about it. Thanks for your message anyways, and don't worry too much, I have been kinda busy lately as well. :) Johnnywtalk11:37, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Daveh4h, thank you for your support during my RfA, and for your comments that went along with that support. I'll keep all of the comments in mind in the coming months, and will try again later. In the mean time, if you see me doing something stupid, please let me know. See you around. --barneca (talk) 13:01, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Maynard James Keenan has been nominated for GA and is currently on hold. It should be listed within the next couple of days. It has also been listed for peer review, and is planned for an FA nomination after a couple of reviews are completed. All help once the drive for FA begins is certainly appreciated!
heh. Hard to say. Maybe Fugazi will reunite. To the tune of "Waiting Room" off of 13 Songs:
I am a wiki boy
I edit, I edit, I edit, I edit
My edits are like water down a drain
Sounds sufficently anti-establishment and angst-ridden to me! :-)
In addition to "Disturbed by the Administrator", I think some other good wikipunk band names would be "Suck My BLP", "POV Pushing Punks From Perth", and "The Checklosers".
Yeah, that guy was crazy. Thanks for reporting him to AIV. In times like that, I really hate the limit on rollbacks.... Anyway, keep up the good work. Thingg⊕⊗17:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I went to report him and saw someone else already did, so I just started reverting! Thanks for the message, daveh4h17:14, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Mackan79 block
I have just posted on ANI. I was in the process of typing it out as soon as I issued the block, but it necessarily required a fair amount of typing. Comments should probably go there. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 05:52, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
FYI
"Cockpuppet (internet)
A cock puppet is an additional account created by an existing member of an Internet community. The cockpuppet is similar to a sockpuppet in terms of creation, intent and usage, but differs in that the sockpuppet's creator (the cocketeer) tends to have very poor interpersonal skills and/or a nasty temper. As such, no matter how many accounts are created, it is certain that each one will end up acting and looking like a dick." from the deleted article Cockpuppet.

Oh but it did complete my life. I've retired and told my family I will never see them again and am living as a hermit. daveh4h04:19, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Maynard James Keenan has been listed for copy-edit at the WP:LoCE, however, the backlog is quite long. Therefore, if anyone has copy-editing skills, please go over the article. I would do it myself, but I've done quite a bit of work on the article and I am incapable of copy-editing my own work.
Maynard James Keenan discography has been worked back into the bio and has been determined to be redundant of the main discographies. It will most likely be deleted this week.
Devo Keenan has been created. I think this is a good opportunity for the project to get together and create a DYK entry. The article needs to be expanded and referenced. Hopefully this is possible. I've not yet looked to see how much information is available. Please take time to help with this, if you can. We have four days!!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
I would first like to thank everyone who contributed to improving Maynard James Keenan to Featured Article! Congratulations and thank you for all of your hard work!
Thank you for voting in my RfA, which passed with 194 supporting, 9 opposing, and 4 neutral. Your kindness and constructive criticism is very much appreciated. I look forward to using the tools you have granted me to aid the project. I would like to give special thanks to Tim Vickers, Anthony and Acalamari for their nominations. Thank you again, VanTucky
Danny Carey was the Collaboration of the Month (for a couple months) but that didn't really go anywhere. Pomte made a good point here that I didn't see until just now.
So, the current CotM is Lateralus. I hope everyone can get motivated to contribute to this article; striving for GA, maybe even FA. If you need some inspiration, go listen to the album! :D Thanks everyone. And welcome to our new members!
