Thank you!ParalelUniSprotected the relevant pages. Thx. -- Samir धर्म 03:16, 12 August 2006 (UTC) You're bang on about ParalelUni I think. I may send an e-mail to his dean of medicine. As an aside, you deserve this multifactorially. Thanks for the hard work -- Samir धर्म 03:38, 12 August 2006 (UTC) You've got a Thank you card!Open your card!
Dear Lefty, thank you so much for your beautiful words, your kidness and your trust in me. My Request for Adminship is finally over, and the support and appreciation that the community has gifted me will stick in my mind as long as I live. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me, and all I can tell you is, I'll try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, make sure to come here and give me a good yell! :) Seriously, tho, if you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you'll always be welcome to message me, and I promise I'll try my very best. RfA thanks
Goldom's RFA thanks
Michael ColeYou quickly and without sufficient reason took down my addition to Cole's page and even labeled it as a potential "attack". I do not see where the attack could possibly be in my factual addition, however I respect your opinion and mean no disrespect, I do ask that you please revert back my edit or at least allow me to revert it back myself. I thank you for reading this and hope you will reconsider. God Bless. Thanks[1] How'd you know it was really me? I thought my writing style might give it away... :) --172.193.206.104 05:06, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
subst v. comment tagsThis was discussed several times before at template talk and elsewhere (don't remember). There's a good reason why those things ought not be substed - can't remember which. Besides, it's the same amount of work to subst it or to add a comment tag to it, both with AWB. Finally, I am not asking admins per se - just my friend Yanksox per prior discussion. Thanks for your concern. - CrazyRussian talk/email 05:38, 13 August 2006 (UTC) Brandon RiceDid I post a welcome on his user page? Silly me. Thanks for the catch, and for all the good work that I keep seeing your name attached to. – ClockworkSoul 04:31, 14 August 2006 (UTC) A portal created recently by Mallimak (talk · contribs) - the Orkney Portal - has been nominated for deletion.

BlockedI've blocked you indefinitely pending an explanation regarding the operation of additional accounts in violation of WP:SOCK. Note that this is not presently a ban. Mackensen (talk) 01:55, 15 August 2006 (UTC) {{unblock|HUUUGE misunderstanding. I was on vacation the past week, and I was using a shared computer. I know this is a common excuse, but please, surely you know I would never do something like use sockpuppets. I hope you understand...}} --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 01:57, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
My concern is the activity of these accounts which remain unexplained. In particular, you seem to have been around all of August 8th, when five accounts vandalized from your computer and were blocked indefinitely. This troubles me. Mackensen (talk) 02:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm still rather new here and still learning how to create articles. Notability RfDWhy is this a redirect for deletion? I couldn't find the notability article for Wikipedia. The only way I fould it was by typing Notablity (by mistake) after typing Notability about 15 times. I'm trying to put Notablity as a redirect for deletion Valoem talk 23:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC) Incorrect APA CitationI sent this in as a bug, but I was told right away that it was not a bug, rather I should talk to an admin about getting it fixed. robchur@gmail.com forwarded me the link to the admin board, where I reposted it. If you would like to see the bug post, check http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7024 I am not sure where to go from here, as this is my second time that I have been redirected. SoccerCore11 16:44, 16 August 2006 (UTC) Sig QuestionHow did you create your sig, I want a sig that says Lego@lost and then in small text in the bottom right corner saying Evil, evil! that will link back to my talk page, without actually changing my preferences, could you give me the 'code', cheers mate -- Lego@lost 19:20, 16 August 2006 (UTC) Re: Sig QuestionI've changed my sig right, but my format of wikipedia is completly different, is this what you have:

Cause my wikipedia format changed when I clicked save for my prefrences, and if your expreriencing this is there any way to get out of it,pleease -- Lego@lost EVIL, EVIL! 03:52, 18 August 2006 (UTC) Lefty reversionsI didn't realize there was already description in there. But you DID however get rid of the Coral Smith highlight. I added that back Lefty. Thank you Tonetare 21:43, 18 August 2006 (UTC) Reverts to User:Santiago22 by EfflixiFYI, I'm reverting it back because I think it's funny. Efflixi is actually a very good friend of mine.

In response to: "Strike that warning, since Santiago said it was okay, but be careful in the future. --Mr. Lefty on 22:13, 18 August 2006 (UTC)" Yea, me and him are very good friends. He left me a funny message on my user page as well. Thanks for taking back the warning. You had me scared! lol Efflixi 22:27, 18 August 2006 (UTC) I need this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_Company) page deleted because it has been changed to this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_%28company%29). I created both and realized that I had incorrectly formatted the URL. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Denneval (talk • contribs) SpeedyHonestly, I'm not so sure. I thought that the speedy criteria for reposts only applied for articles deleted through the afd process. According to Wp:csd#General_criteria, it needs to be substantially identical. alphaChimp laudare 04:16, 19 August 2006 (UTC) Terribly Dreadfully SorryDear Mr. Lefty, I just wanted to apologize personally for the bush edit. I left my friend Fabrizio on my computer while i was making us hot cocoa, and of course, he was compelled to vandalize. It wont happen again. I have called him a jerk and laughed at him since i found out. Please forvige me and him. I didnt mean to cause you any trouble. I also sincerely hope you are not republican, and if you are, i am very sorry if Fab offended you personally. Again very sorry.i have directed my friend toward a much more effective place for him to express his feelings http://www.wikithepresidency.com its very nice Edit counterIt must be true; Great minds.... :) - GIen 16:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC) Format ProblemI'm Back! I still have this format problem, I created a test acount to see what I've done wrong, and I clicked the Nostalgia format, Is there any way I get out of it cause I can't find my prefrences, could you tell me or direct me to someone I know, oh yeah a random acts of kindness barnstar is up for grabs! -- Lego@lost EVIL, EVIL! 20:17, 19 August 2006 (UTC) Bjørg LødøenTake a look at Bjørg Lødøen & confirm you are comfortable with my changes, please. Thanks - Williamborg (Bill) 03:34, 20 August 2006 (UTC) LOLZ SRY <3 Hi Mr. Lefty! On Kpjas' RFA, you have voted oppose based on his apparent lack of experience, ("if he plans to do vandal-fighting and deletions, then I'd like him to have more experience in those particular areas. Sorry."). In fact, Kpjas is already an admin on the Polish Wikipedia, and has 37,000 edits there, including 2,600 to WP space over there. You have opposed based on inexperience, but these facts clearly indicate plenty of experience in the required areas. Mr. Lefty, you want an experienced editor for admin. Kpjas is clearly experienced. Without badgering you, I urge you to reconsider your vote in this particular RfA. Happy editing! :) --Firsfron of Ronchester 22:59, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Apparent sockpuppetsYes, doing a checkuser on those editors sounds like a good idea, and we might find some other sockpuppets and/or similar user accounts at the same time. Could you also take a look at the various pages involved and see if there are any I've missed in my clean-up efforts? -- The Anome 00:56, 21 August 2006 (UTC) Thank You!

Ralbot 04:19, 22 August 2006 (UTC) ThanksFor reverting the vandalism on my userpage. Yanksox 17:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC) Sock accusationsOn Subash bose's ANI [2] I noticed some Muslim users have accused me of being a sock of Subhash bose (aka Netaji). These users are merely trying to hit two birds with one stone: They are trying to get two Hindus banned with "incriminating evidence". Geek1975 has vandalized pages relating to a terror attack orchestrated by Muslims, and Netscott vandalized my comments on his userpage. The reason I am more active now is because I was on wikibreak for three days. I take Geek's false accusations as personal attacks and have warned him. Thanks for seeing the truth of the matter and not jumping to false conclusions.Bakaman Bakatalk 17:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC) Re: OMG Barnstar!Thanks so much. :) Luna Santin 23:15, 23 August 2006 (UTC) Re:RfA ReviewSure, I've got a couple of RFA related things in the works, so can't promise a timescale, but I'll do you one.

Userpage 'Mistake'On your userpage, it says there is a user called Lefty, and then it says there is a user called Mrlefty but notice how the last user is on your page has a link that is red, so that means he isn't here, just pointing that out to you. -- Lego EVIL, EVIL! 04:15, 24 August 2006 (UTC) Thanks!Many thanks for helping fend off the vandals while Gregorian chant was on the main page. I wasn't prepared for the level of vandalism. It's heartening to know how efficient and diligent you WP admins and editors are to revert it! Peirigill 07:02, 25 August 2006 (UTC) Added yaJust added you to List of non-admins with high edit counts, as your previous nom didn't show any serious problems your still a potential admin. So maybe in a few months someone will volunteer to nominate you. Of course, feel free to remove your name/rv me.--Andeh 23:15, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
adding request to change my usernameMr. Lefty - thanks for the suggestion about changing my username. I'd not thought of that! But when I go to change it where do I actually type in the request? I see everyone else listed and "EDIT" next to their names. Do I click EDIT and add mine below? Thanks! Jamie@scgonline.net 01:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)jamie@scgonline.net The infoboxI didn't know about the previous redirect thing. What about a disambiguation page? Or a stub that that reads "This article is about infoboxes, for information regarding wikipedia infoboxes go to:" I just ran a google search, and the first result for infobox is the wikipedia infobox. I have my doubts such a stub would ever grow into a full article. Whichever way it's done, infobox should provide some link to Wikipedia:infobox. This has been the case with practically all wikipedia-related terms, and keeping that rule consistent would make it easier to navigate it. -NorsemanII 03:08, 26 August 2006 (UTC) RFA thanks

For some reason, even the simplest code that works in Wikipedia does not work on my site. Do you think it has anything to do with the "class="infobox"" that appears in the top of the infobox? Do I need to add something to one of my CSS? Here is a link to the broken infobox: https://heritage.web.lehigh.edu/wiki_old/index.php/James_Ward_Packard Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. -kurz82 Can't wait!I just can wait, in 4 hours Xyrael will be granted admin status, the 1000th admin, right here (on wikipedia), right now (in 4 hours). weeee! -- Legolost EVIL, EVIL! 07:23, 2 September 2006 (UTC) A RfA thank you from en:User:XyraelI'd like to thank you Mr. Lefty for either supporting, opposing, commenting, nominating, reading, editing, promoting and/or anything else that you may have done for my successful request for adminship (I've broken the one thousand sysop barrier!); I'm thanking you for getting involved, and for this I am very grateful. I hope to be able to serve Wikipedia more effectively with my new tools and that we can continue to build our free encyclopedia, for knowledge is power, but only wisdom is liberty.
