Firefox 2 for Mac OSX. Has it not worked on others? Looking at the code I can't work out why it wouldn't - Zeibura(Talk)16:03, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
WikiThanks
Aw, thank you :) I've no idea why internet explorer doesn't like it, but it looks pretty to those of us who know better ;) - Zeibura(Talk)16:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Peace :)
Thanks very much for wishing me happy birthday! I had a great day - well, it could have been better, I spent all day studying for an exam! But let's concentrate on the positives, hmmm? :) My friends got me a great cake, a lot like this one, and since you've been so kind, I saved you a piece. Hope you enjoy it, and the rest of your day :) Riana(talk)10:04, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Ah, what else can I say, you're a sweetie, as always :) Have a wonderful day, friend!
Hi there ... while you're busy explaining things to Folken nicely, do you reckon you could do the same with this guy? He's reverted the Mugglenet reference out of the article three times now - first generally, again when you restored it, and now to me after I restored it. The first two were on the basis that it was spam, and looking through the debate, I see only two people stating that it could be seen as spam - the original IP (who I am convinced attempted to remove the ref in bad faith for some reason), and Folken mentioning it briefly to Sandpiper.
Furthermore, with his latest revert, I feel that if it is acceptable to mention sales, the "Background to the series", then mentioning so-called "companion books" accompanying the series would fit like a glove. But given that all of this was debated back in Archive 14, and the responses (and lack of), I feel there's little point pressing the point to him/her.
Looking at his contribs, he may have also broken 3RR.
I see you've ignored my warnings, and are continuing to violate established consensuses and keep re-adding POV-violations in the articles, without justifying yourself. I now ask you to stop disrupting this article. If you don't agree with the removal of certain paragraphs, please discuss with the other editors instead of trying to impose your views. Folken de Fanel12:31, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
You've ignored my warnings 3 times. Discuss your edits and reach consensus instead of revert-warring to impose your views. I've yet to see your justifications for all this.Folken de Fanel14:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
I think you were so much enjoying blindly reverting that you have not noticed that I've not removed mentions to books about HP (including the Mugglenet book). The paragraph in its current state satisfies me, it is more neutral and that's all I wanted (however I don't think it fits really well in the "background" section). Can't you notice my offer of compromise ? However, if I won't remove it, I won't prevent others to remove it if they want either, that's not my debate anymore.
I am removing the paragraph about fan speculations because, as I've explained in the talk (to which you never replied), this paragraph was written by Sandpiper only to promote the view that fans could correctly guess the plot of book 7. This paragraph is first irrelevant (it doesn't pertain to the "background of the series" since fan speculations simply aren't the background of the series, how JKR came to write HP, etc), and Sandpiper wrote it only because it was a mean to support his quest to add fan speculations in other articles (like in Horcruxe, R.A.B., etc). He's adding fan speculation everywhere, and this paragraph in the DH article is linked to this: he wants to advance the position that fan speculations are accurate, and then he adds them in specific articles. There are now various people who are against Sandpiper's actions, thus there is a consensus against fan speculations in articles. Thus, please stop reverting back this paragraph, as its only use was to promote the "accurcy" of fan speculation, in order to include them in specific articles. It's all linked. Sandpiper believes in the "power" of fan speculations, he believes fans have already guess the whole book 7, and wants to add these theories everywhere on WP, and this paragraph in the DH article is only an insidious way to push his pov about fan speculations.
That's 'background to the series'. It is about generalities, not about a history of the wizarding world. Part of the background is that rowling has generated an obsessive fan following whose task in life is to analyse her books to death. This is most certainly important. I'm sorry Folken doesn't seem to consider fan involvement with the books important, because I feel he is thereby failing to understand why these books have become so successful. Anyone wishing to emulate Rowling should think very hard on the section 'background to the series'. Aside from that, Folken is correct in suggesting that rowling, in these quotes and others, has essentially told us that the ending is significantly predictable, based upon the books so far. I think anyone wanting to know about the last book would want to know that. It is an important fact about the general background of how the books have been written. Sandpiper19:30, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
No, nothing to do with background. It's only you pushing your POV. This has simply nothing to do with the background, which is how Rowling came to write HP, etc. Your personal views about fan speculations isn't related to the background, neither are fan speculations.
I never said nor suggested that Rowling told us "the end is predictable", and Rowling has never said it either. So don't invent things. The irony is, you're always talking about "predicting", and that's what crystal-balling is...Folken de Fanel
Last time we talked, you completely avoided this issue. You only talked about Mugglenet's book, which for me, is settled. But you didn't talk about this. So I'm waiting for your justifications.
Concerning the refs in "Choice of the title", last time we talked, you also declared that you had "no opinion whether to keep or leave out this part". Spam and PoV violation cannot magically become valid just because you claim it as such. In barely a week you went from having "no particular opinion" to "we have to absolutely keep these" without any explanation. I'm still waiting for it.
I'm not going to write in great length about this, as I've already done it before and I can't spend too much time on this again. All I'm going to do is to give you the link to the long talk we had ([1]), which concluded that these refs were not includable. If you read it carefully, you'll see that there is a consensus of 3 users (Tuvas, Hobson and me) against these refs. So sorry, but you cannot suddenly come after days of debate, which came to a certain conclusion, and then impose another conclusion, without any justification or debate.
gosh we do all write a lot of nonsense don't we? As to Tuvas, the last comment I posted to him was that essentially, his position seemed to be that he agreed the material was includeable, even though he seemed to be trying to frame an argument why it ought not to be. I queried this twice on the DH page and once on his user page, but he never replied to this specific point and I think has avoided the page since. Sandpiper19:04, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm waiting for a complete answer to this, and I ask you to please stop reverting while we're still discussing it. I've shown good faith and offered a compromise by not deleting the Mugglenet's book mention any more, but now it's your turn to show good faith, and to accept to discuss your edits.Folken de Fanel14:57, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you X 100
Thank you very much for supporting my RfA, which closed successfully yesterday... W00t! I hope to be a great admin (and editor) and I'm sure you can tell that my use of a large, boldfaced, capital "T" and a big checkmark image in this generic "thank you" template that I swiped from some other user's Talk Page that I totally mean business! If you need anything in the future or if you see that I've done something incorrectly, please come to my Talk Page and let me know. So now I've got a bunch of reading to do.... see you around! - eo13:43, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you, Stephen. I was ignorant of that page. PeaceNT, I don't know how to say I'm sorry enough here. I apologize deeply for jumping to the wrong conclusion. I'm sorry for creating a mess as a result of my own ignorance; please accept my deepest apologies. MastCellTalk02:23, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
TTN is at it again, but this time he is deleting my comments now, not just deleting episode articles. User:Tvoz has been talking to him. Angie Y.13:02, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm adding tags and opening discussions, so you have no room to complain there. I'm removing your messages because they are getting really annoying at this point. I think that we get that you don't like me; you're beating a dead horse. Either drop it or search for another method (even though episodes are definitely going to be mostly removed due to the updated guideline, project, and task forces). And again, PeaceNT doesn't hate me (at least openly), so I really don't get what you think he is going to do. TTN13:11, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Congrats
Congratulations on finding my secret page! I started out with this one, and will make a harder one in the future, and have them get harder as I go on ("secret page 2", "secret page 3", etc.). I'll let you know when "secret page 2" goes into effect. Cheers!
Thank you for all that you have done! How much love resides therein! All one's gifts are never gone: Not seen, perhaps, but stored within. Kindness is an inner sun.
Your unspent heart a message sends Of grace and sacrifice hard-won Upon which happiness depends!
Your kind words and your warm wishes, coming from one of the most compassionate and wonderful friends I've ever been blessed to have, meant more than I could ever express, sweetie. My gratitude to you goes beyond my ability to put it in plain words. So a simple "thank you!" and a great, great virtual hug will have to do :) Love you! Phaedriel - 06:29, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I Don't Know how to say it, but Seth's Very Sick. He sounded like he needed to go to the hospital on the phone! I Hope he gets better. Bananaman113723:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your support and comments at my RfA
Hi PeaceNT, It still amazes me that otherwise "anonymous" editors take the time to place !votes and comments on RfAs. Whilst I would have normally thanked you at the time of you leaving your message, the importance of my not appearing to be canvassing prevented me from so doing. Now that everything has progressed successfully I can finally thank you. I intend to uphold a style of good adminship and will welcome your further comments at any time in the future, even if they are in the form of admonishment. I will be happy to help as an admin wherever and whenever I can --VStalk23:09, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Discussion Page
Hi there,
Any reason why you deleted the List of Girl Groups page? Looks like it was done just today or yesterday. I think my niece, Karen Rayne, was cited on that page.
Thanks,

Hi there,
I´m currently working on expanding the page of São Paulo Museum of Art. I´m Brazilian, so I have Portuguese as native language. Anyway, I´ve got a intermediate level of English, which I used to translate the corresponding page at Portuguese Wikipedia (did my best), but I believe that perhaps there are some orthographic or grammar harmony mistakes, so I would really appreciate if you could point me some user interested in art or museums to help me reviewing the page.
I also have a doubt. I don´t know how to start a discussion page to São Paulo Museum of Art. I looked for it at the tutorial and help pages, but I didn´t get it very well. Can you help me with this?
Thanks,

Hi, is there any way you can unprotect the Ashlee Simpson article? I have a whole article to add in. SMASH9602:10, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Belated congrats
Hey, sorry I was away. Congrats for your successful RfA! Yeah, I know, it closed a long while ago... Xiner (talk) 20:22, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
RfA thanks
Hi PeaceNT. Thank you for your support and kind words in my RfA, which passed with 95 support, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral !votes. It means a lot to me to have your individual support and the collective support of so many others. I truly will strive to carry myself at a level representing the trust bestowed in me as I use the mop to address the never-ending drips of discontent in need of caretaker assistance.

Featured list candidates will remain on this page for a minimum period of 10 days. Consensus must be reached in order to be promoted to featured list status, and a list must also garner a minimum of 4 "Support" votes (counting the original nomination as a "Support" vote, provided it is not withdrawn). Featured list candidates that are not promoted after 10 days will be removed from the candidates list to the failed log unless (1) objections are being actively addressed; or (2) although there are no objections, the list has not garnered 4 "Support" votes. In these cases an additional period of time will be given to the list to see whether it can attract more support.
The nomination had been up for 19 days without a decisive consensus, which per these rules I feel is long enough to fail. You can nominate it again if you'd like. --MarcK03:55, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Monthly Challenge: Submit an article to our Jumpaclass competition! Languishing unloved, it is a great way to improving that article you always meant to improve but never got round to. Challenge someone else to go head to head and see who can improve their article most!
Our Deputy Coordinators have been doing a fabulous job so far. Well done!
The portal is now looking very snazzy, well done to Fireplace for all his hard work.
The list of LGBT people to be sorted has now beed reduced by 20%. Please help us with it, all of us adding just one person a day would have a dramatic effect!
The Core Topics is now largely complete. The original aim of getting some kind of publication out of it is extremely long term - any short term uses we can make of it are welcome on the project talkpage.
A suggestion was made this month that we start our own wiki. Although the conclusion was that we felt we were a part of Wikipedia rather than a stand alone organisation, it seems there is an LGBT wiki already, at http://lgbt.wikia.com/wiki/Main_page . Members may be interested in getting involved there.
The Collaboration is now getting rather short on suggestions. Article nominations for August through December would be welcome on the talkpage.
There is now a list of Missing LGBT Topics. Help is needed to work out which topics can be made redirects or need to be created. Please contribute is you can.
An LGBT banner that was created for Wikipedia's internal ads system has now been adapted so it can be placed on blogs and websites. The html is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:LGBT"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Qxz-ad48.gif" height="53" width="445"></a> Please credit Miranda and link to her userpage: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Miranda">Miranda</a>. The banner can be seen in action here. If you have a blog or a website, please consider adding the banner, either in a post or as part of your profile.
