Deleted article
Hey, I see that you participated in the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kosovo–Nauru relations discussion. The consensus there was to delete the article. Well I am sad to report that the article has been remade by the same user. See here: Kosovo‒Nauru relations. Can we speedy delete this article, or are we going to have to go through the longer deletion process again. And can we stop User:Turkish Flame from creating these dubious articles? --Tocino 19:25, 18 Ocotber 2008 (UTC)
Invitation-request to comment on ANI, Max v Floro & Floro v Max, for blocking
Hi, may I please request you to submit some comment on my[1]and User:Maxschmelling's twin petitions-complaints on the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents for blocking. Despite the long RFC, where Max lost, and was warned not to stalk me, since September 25, Max refused to stop stalking me and my edits. This is a sad day for Wikipedia. Cheers.[2] --Florentino floro (talk) 05:37, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
Relevant ANI noticeboard
I doubt I was doing the right thing when I did it, but as an uninvolved party, I decided to provide references regarding the Max/floro situation on ANI (see Wikipedia:Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents#Relevant references). No doubt it will only serve to make things worse, but I figured it might be useful for the passerby's to not have to dig through various edits to find the root of the dispute.

Thanks for your note
It was a long and frustrating process where I really felt I was doing the right thing, but kept not getting quite as much support as I had expected. But I do appreciate that people were at least paying attention. Even if he gets unblocked, I feel a corner has been turned. Thanks, xschm (talk) 07:09, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom questions
Hi. I'm Ral315, editor of the Wikipedia Signpost. We're interviewing all ArbCom candidates for an article this week, and your response is requested.
- What positions do you hold (adminship, mediation, etc.), on this or other wikis?
- Have you been involved in any arbitration cases? In what capacity?
- Why are you running for the Arbitration Committee?
- How do you feel the Arbitration Committee has handled cases and other situations over the last year? Can you provide an examples of situations where you feel the Committee handled a situation exceptionally well, and why? Any you feel they handled poorly, and why?
- What is your opinion on confidentiality? If evidence is submitted privately to the Committee, would you share it with other parties in the case? Would you make a decision based on confidential information without making it public?
- Why do you think users should vote for you?
Please respond on my talk page. We'll probably go to press on Tuesday, but late responses will be added as they're submitted. Thanks, Ral315 (talk) 10:25, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

MeeMix undeletion request
Hi Wizardman, I'm the author of the MeeMix article, which was deleted since it was decided it did not achieve sufficient notability, despite having been cited in several places, and several additional arguments that I have brought up.
I found yet another important source which I hope would help it achieve WP notability. Here’s an excerpt of an article about MeeMix that was published in TheMarker, one of Israel’s chief economic newspapers/magazines, and written by one its hi-tech editors. This article was also published in Walla!, a major Israeli news portal. Albeit in Hebrew (a web translation of the article captures its gist), I still believe it should constitute a reliable source, since it is published in important media in Israel, a western world, hi-tech nation, and since already several English-language sources have been cited for MeeMix. As such, I would really appreciate an undelete of the MeeMix article. Thank you. Rabend (talk) 09:44, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Happy Thanksgiving!

Feedback?
Hello! I have set up Wikipedia:Editor review/A Nobody should you wish to comment. Please note that I am notifying a handful of experienced editors who are familiar with me as I am particularly interested in anything they have to add. If you do not wish to comment, that is fine too. All the best! Sincerely, --A NobodyMy talk 21:19, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Turn out the lights - the beer has arrived
 |
Have an unyielding beer on me.
Let the amber nectar flow all day and night. Let it run down the mountains and through the caverns and across the rich lawns to swamp the streets. Let it rain beer. Let the heavens open and shine forth beer. Let it all be beer. Wonderful beer. And let it be as deep as the heart of a lion.
This is an acknowledgment of your participation in the RfA of: *YES!. 19:12, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
