Either way you should hear from me by the middle of the week. ;) — $PЯINGrαgђ 08:26, 19 May 2007 (UTC) FavoritismIt seems that even Phaedriel displays admin favoritism.

hey when do I get a day? Oh, and you and R need to get a room or something... ;) – Gurch 23:26, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
You made my day!Hey, Phaedriel, thanks for the recognition, especially with a superbly apt quotation. I can't say much now, cuz I'm off to play tennis for a couple of hours, but I really do appreciate your kindness :) Cheers, Moreschi Talk 15:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC) EbilshroomSharon, it looks like game over for our friend user:Ebilshroom. After he vandalized your talk page, an admin came around and blocked him. Karrmann 18:24, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
What's wrong?Hi Sharon, I noticed this change on your talk page. What's wrong, dear? You can contact me privately if you prefer. Love, Kyoko 19:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Ok, Sharon. Thanks for the response, I wish you the best! Karrmann 01:00, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Talk: United StatesI have removed them because the problems discussed in each one are solved.Abdalla 21:24, 19 May 2007 (UTC) Thank youHi Phaedriel. Thank you for the very nice words you wrote on my talk page and for the poem at the link for the record of the day (that's a beautiful poem indeed, the best one written in Romanian, perhaps). I am very glad that you are around spreading the wiki-love among people! Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 00:31, 20 May 2007 (UTC) UserboxesBy looking at your userpage, you seem really skilled with designing and fine-tuning wikipedia. I wanted to ask if you can help me in designing useboxes. I already looked at the guide (wikipedia:userboxes) but it all seems to confusing. Any hints? Thanks, Abdalla 01:27, 20 May 2007 (UTC) Wow.
PalestineRememberedHi, I've added to the discussion over at ANI. His edits are well within the spirit of the block that was imposed on him. He must be granted natural justice, which includes the ability to defend himself. At the moment, his ArbCom case is turning into a circus. His supporters are adding "evidence" in his defence, when no accusations have been made. It makes them sound like a bunch of raving lunatics, and lets his accusers tailor their evidence to counter his defence. Note that CSN did not impose a permanent ban on him as claimed by John254. There was no consensus, and the original complaint was based on an invalid claim. PR accepted the block during his ArbCom case on my advice in an attempt to keep tempers down, and help the ArbCom case progress in a timely manner. Mark Chovain 05:15, 20 May 2007 (UTC) I give in but I wish the system would changeOk, I then give in about writing an article about one of the most famous salsa bands in the world, Los Soneros del Barrio. But I think that the current system for article approval doesn't work. Someone (also a moderator perhaps, or selected by a moderator) with knowledge of salsa bands should _in advance_ make a list of unquestionably acceptable groups for the moderators. So people wanting to contribute to Wikipedia wouldn't have to bang their heads against a weird system. So they could just attempt to write the articles and know in advance that _the topic_ of article course wouldn't be a problem. Maybe this is the wrong forum for discussing this, but then I would appreciate knowing where I should go with this idea. Cmlewan 10:17, 20 May 2007 (UTC) expect a delayHi Sharon, I just wanted to let you know that I read your mail, and I will reply to it as soon as I can, but I need to think about your message before I can give it the reply it deserves. I also expect to be busy due to other obligations, so I may not be online so much for the time being. I'm thinking and praying for you and your wonderful baby, and I will try to respond within the next few days to a week. Love, Kyoko 12:38, 20 May 2007 (UTC) About your offerI would be more than happy if you could help me add some better designs.Here is the link to my so called,' template testing' thank you and you also have a great weekend-Arnon Chaffin Got a message? 14:43, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
User pageWould you mind decorating my user page for me? (Or telling me how to) Redmarkviolinist 20:29, 19 May 2007 (UTC) Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not MySpace. Phaedriel has better things to be doing here on Wikipedia than helping people create personal websites, like administrating and writing the encyclopedia. Phaedriel is too nice to decline these requests, unfortunately, but it really is taking up a lot of her time to deal with all of these side things. --Cyde Weys 03:24, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
RE BarnstarsHi Sharon, what is your criteria for carrying Barnstars over to your userpage? (And would you mind if someone do it for you — We wouldn't want them to go missing?) Kind regards, G.A.S 14:05, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Dear Phaedriel,Will it be okay if I ask you to help design my user page and talk page? I would love the help I need! Optakeover 15:36, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Need HelpHi Phaedriel, I see your very busy deigning peoples userpages, and im sorry to say you may have one more. It would be very kind of you if you can design my userpage & talk page, I have been trying myself for a long time with no success... so I resorted to asking a professional. You can leave your response on my talk page, Thank You! Abdalla 19:17, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
PalestineRemembered blockI am not sure if my page restrictions are set in stone, but if the need rises to issue a block to him again, I would be able to find a way he can email ArbCom and present his defense if needed. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 20:12, 20 May 2007 (UTC) Can you give this article - Matt Stansfield - a look? It claims to be the real name of a Wikipedia user. I've nominated it for speedy, but it needs immediate action, I feel. Even if the information were to be incorrect. --Ozgod 21:49, 20 May 2007 (UTC) Sorry, new user here that was sent to write an article regarding a local cultural icon. How come this keeps getting deleted, I attempted to show validity and I have at least 200 other people that would be willing to contribute to the article. Also what does a7 mean? Why did you deleted the PLAJIA wiki article? please email me pat@plajia.com ??? ive worked hard to create this page on this Montreal music band. thank you Patrick HeyHi Phaedriel, I've seen you around and just thought I'd say hi. So here it is: "Hi" :) ~Spebi 08:49, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Strategic Toolkit - why?Hi Phaedriel. Recently deleted [Strategic Toolkit]. I am pretty new to wikipedia and the last/first article I submitted got deleted "speedy deleted". I tried to enter discussion about this but that seems to have been deleted also. I am a bit confused as the article was relevant, verifiable, objective and did not contain any advertising or policy violation that I am aware of. I am not sure that I have been given any reasons from the nominator other than "I never heard of it" and "self-promotion". Seems a pity as I am hoping to add to the article. As I say - I am new to all of this and need to know why (so I can grieve properly). I have read the relevant policies, deletion processes, guidelines etc. Davejblair 11:36, 21 May 2007 (UTC) Dear lovely Phaedriel, I'm in a quandary, and I hope you can help me, as you have helped many others. I've opened up this virtual can of worms, and they just won't fit back in the can. But let me be more specific. This all started with free-spirited Wikipedians making all sorts of articles, templates, infoboxes, and the like all over English Wikipedia, including "Politics of XX" infoboxes for just about every country, citing "fair use" every now and again. Then the Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Directors got serious and passed Wikimedia Foundation Licensing Policy Resolution of 23 March 2007. All sorts of stuff just had to go. One of the things that had to go was commons:Image:SilaTonga.svg, because it was a copyvio and fair use isn't allowed on Commons. So I decided to copy it to English Wikipedia to allow fair use here. Well, I couldn't exactly do that, because the image still existed at Commons, so I took the opportunity to give it a better name in the process, Image:Sila ʻo Tonga — Coat of arms of the Kingdom of Tonga.svg. I then went on to try to justify fair use for the image here. Oh my, compliance with all ten of the criteria in the Wikipedia Non-free content Policy is not so easy as it is made out to be! It turned out that Image:SilaTonga.svg was being used by an *gasp* infobox template Template:Politics of Tonga! Not wanting to violate policy by having an image I knew wasn't free displayed by such a template, I copied the infobox from the template to a new article Infobox Politics of Tonga. I thought this was a good compromise - the infobox could stand on its own as an article (with a somewhat weird name), it could also be used almost like a template via transclusion with a colon, and it wouldn't violate policy because it was in article namespace. I then redirected Template:Politics of Tonga to the infobox article and changed all references (Commons image to English Wikipedia image; infobox template to infobox article), and was proceeding to check my work due to some problems with the new image showing up (in anticipation of proposing deletion for Template:Politics of Tonga), when this gem appeared on my user talk page. How is it that an infobox article "doesn't negate fair use policy"? How is it that doing so "just makes a mess"? Then I found that you had deleted the infobox article via this edit the very same minute, without notice. On my copy of WP:CSD#g6, the text reads as follows: "Housekeeping. Non-controversial maintenance tasks such as temporarily deleting a page in order to merge page histories, performing a non-controversial page move like reversing a redirect, or removing a disambiguation page that only points to a single article." Which of those criteria did the infobox article qualify for? How was the infobox article nominated for "g6"? How did the article get deleted with so many entries at What links here, when all four of the templates used to implement "g6" {{{db-histmerge}}, {{db-move}}, {{db-xfd}}, and {{db-g6}}) require checking of "What links here"? PLEASE take another look at the situation and consider undeleting Infobox Politics of Tonga. Thank you for your kind attention to this matter. Best Regards, — Jeff G. 11:42, 21 May 2007 (UTC) Still in the user page business?Hi Phaedriel, I noted you comment about your willingness to help with user pages. I'm great with finessing articles, but lousy when it comes to ideas or knowledge of the code for making a good user page. I am open for anything from simple ideas to a wholesale reconstruction if you want to spend the time (although I feel a bit guilty for imposing on your time). I really like the idea of the collapseable boxes to put everything into. Oh, and thanks so much for your kind comment on my RfA. Akradecki 20:17, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
HelloWhile looking around Wikipedia for certain NavFrame (Hide/Show) box, I came across your page (I was searching all over) and I have to say I actually stopped and read your userpage. It is rare I stop and read a userpage, but I did with yours and I have to say that you are the most interesting Wikipedian (and I mean that in a good way) I have come across. I noticed that you said that you wished not to give your Comanche name, which is cool, but after reading your userpage and the comments left for you....I am pretty sure KindHeart would fit you perfectly....then again, that is just one polock editors opinion. Take Care....NeutralHomer T:C 16:24, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

ReconsiderationThank you so much for the poem. As I edited my user page, I reconsidered my decision to leave due to all the kind words from you and others and my affection of this database of knowledge. I will make decision whether to leave or stay pending some ArbCom decisions, they will determine whether I still have faith to the fairness of Wikipedia. Again, thank you for your encouragement and kindness! WooyiTalk to me? 23:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC) Ping!What's up? You okay?

Would you mind if I "stole" it and put it on my user page somewhere? Btw, please stop playing me at my own game, send me an email about how to contact you and we'll get talking :) Hope you're well, bye --kingboyk 10:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC) Hi, You deleted the article I created for The Open Organization Of Lockpickers within a few minutes of creation without even adding any note to my user page or talking about it in the discussion page for the article. It would be appreciated if you could comment or give any suggestions. There are other/similar articles existing in wikipedia and therefore I am at a loss why you would consider this as a7. Looking forward to your response. Deepraj | Talk 10:06, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

You may have deleted it speedily without checking, but if you stand by your decision you may want to add your 2 cents. Raerth 18:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC) |
