Thank you for your support in my RFA. The final vote count was (73/3/1), so I am now an administrator. Please let me know if at any stage you need help, or if you have comments on how I am doing as an admin. Have a nice day! :) Aleta Sing 17:23, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hello

hello just thought i might say hi, and thanks for all the tips!and for the pie!it made my easter better —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vostok sg (talkcontribs) 21:03, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

found your secret page!

Yeah I found it! (finally)
Oh, yeah, just wondered. Have any vandals ever actually updated your vandal counter while vandalizing your userpage? J.delanoygabsadds 22:19, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That stinks. If someone ever does, make sure you put a link to the diffs on your userpage. That would beat anything in my "funny stuff" section. J.delanoygabsadds 15:27, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Go Longhorns!

Hi, I saw that your signature had "Go Longhorns!" with a link to the 2008 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. If you're referring to the University of Texas Longhorns, I support them as well. GO LONGHORNS! --Shruti14 t c s 01:10, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry, 110! I thought the system was issuing those warnings automatically now; at least, every time I go to post one, I found it's beaten me to it. Didn't mean to leave you out of the loop, I assure you. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC) hoping for Badger glory[reply]

Your tone was not unreasonable in the least; a smidgen hurt, perhaps, but by no means unreasonably so. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not really

I don't think that would be the best idea. The other task forces have no such thing, and there is only two of us.--MrFishGo Fish 17:57, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

your userpage!

Your userpage is amazing! just wanted you to know that... :D Would you mind if I copied bits of it (as I can't write it myself), or is that too blatant plagarism of your work? mathwhiz29 18:50, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a ton ;D mathwhiz29 —Preceding comment was added at 19:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you joined scouting, why isn't your name in the list?--RyRy5 talk 19:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's the wrong list. Put your name on this list. The one you put your name on is our Watch Department where we see if a member has done anything to be a report.--RyRy5 talk 20:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I just archived my talkpage the second time. I archived it 5 days ago for the first time. I got over 70 messages in just 5 days, wow. Also, do you have any questions about scouting?--RyRy5 talk 20:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm the founder of the scouting business as you know. Read the following template. It's the welcome to all scouts. If you still have questions, just ask.Template:WP BOSOXscout WELCOME--RyRy5 talk 20:14, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Greater Manchester Newsletter 2

Hello there!

I believe User:Polishname has offered to write the April newsletter, which is great for me as the content doesn't come naturally from me! I'm not sure he's 100% going to write it, but has mentioned he was going to start. Why do you ask? -- are you going to help too?? :-) I think I'm going to avoid this next one. --Jza84 |  Talk  22:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

About what?--RyRy5 talk 20:21, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible. By the way, my 1000th edit was Jj137 and 2000th was Burner0718.--RyRy5 talk 20:25, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So you want to join my class as a student?--RyRy5 talk 20:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The class is really just for my adoptees. I'll think about it, unless you want to become my adoptee. Do you? I'd be happy to adopt you.--RyRy5 talk 20:40, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I just saw the second message. Sure, you can become a teacher.--RyRy5 talk 20:44, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I already saw it. I may add you to my friends list soon. :)--RyRy5 talk 21:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was actually thinking of making a bot for that just now. But I think we need a different way. Any ideas? I'm busy making a userbox for all this.--RyRy5 talk 21:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'll think about it. I was thinking of making a bot myself and since I'm the founder I should be the one with the bot. I'll tell you when I have decided.--RyRy5 talk 21:15, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but some of my adoptees I haven't heard from in a long time. Or even know about it. Send the message to only User:Enigmaman and User:Writergirlrocks. Their the ones who are ussually online. But first, go to my userpage (top) and tell me how you like the userbox.--RyRy5 talk 21:21, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still fixing it. Do you think it should have a diff message or color (because it matches the adopt-a-user userbox)?--RyRy5 talk 21:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'll see what I can do. I also asked User:Jj137 about my bot I may create.--RyRy5 talk 21:36, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All done! Here it is:Template:User:RyRy5/Adoption ProgramCopy and paste the following code onto your userpage:{{Template:User:RyRy5/Adoption Program}}--RyRy5 talk 21:59, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cabal

I was thinking of creating a cabal of my own. Any tips or ideas?--RyRy5 talk 22:12, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a few ideas:
  • Userpage Cabal:It can specialize on improving your own userpage.
  • Typo Cabal:Specializes in fixing typos in articles, templates, ect
  • Vote Cabal:Specializes in voting for many things

What do you think would be good to create?--RyRy5 talk 22:23, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Answered! I'll create the cabal now. I'll tell you when I'm done.--RyRy5 talk 22:35, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I think the name should be UserSpace Cabal. What do you think?--RyRy5 talk 22:42, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What? Can you rephrase that?--RyRy5 talk 22:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Got it!--RyRy5 talk 22:49, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Amok

Hmm, list of Wikis? Well, that's hard to say. I'm sure there's a directory somewhere of places running the MediaWiki software, but I'm not sure where that is... I'll look around and get back to you.

As for the cabal, that's great! Of course, TINC.

And I like the template; never can have enough sweets to hand out around here. ;) So how's Wikilife goin' for ya? Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 22:32, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats! And for me, things are going swell. Working on some proposals for reform at the moment. Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 22:43, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Fun Facts

Shouldn't we wait for a few more to be submitted before we vote? I like the ones we have now, but I better someone can find a better one out there. --Mr.crabby (Talk) 23:15, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Happy RyRy5's 3000th Edit! This edit is my 3000th edit! Every time I reach another 1000 edits, I celebrate it on a talkpage of someone I know. Well, today is your lucky day because I choose your talkpage to host my Every 1000th Party!--RyRy5 talk 03:13, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, thank you! I can add that to my Barnstar Museum.--RyRy5 talk 03:18, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you may see him blocked soon...2 vandal work in 1 minute. Also, I like the number of edits section. I was going to do that for something but you did it for me. --RyRy5 talk 03:23, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the wait. I was looking at your awards. Anyway, thanks for the userbox, although I'm still thinking about the image. I need an image that explains a userpage in a way? If you can find one, go ahead and send me it. BTW, do you live in the east or west?--RyRy5 talk 03:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I call mine, "The Vegas"(west). So, when are you ussually online? Also, go to the userspace cabal mainspace and vote for the new user.--RyRy5 talk 03:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not really. Where are you getting all your images?--RyRy5 talk 03:41, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wow! That can be really useful. I'll copy and paste those so I can use them. I'll tell you when I find the right picture, but it may take a while. Did you vote yet for the new user being considered?--RyRy5 talk 03:47, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ha! I just found the Mr. Potato Head icon.--RyRy5 talk 03:51, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I just got another idea! The cool cabal.--RyRy5 talk 03:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Can you help me find an image? I'm lookinf for an image with a person and the earth in 1 picture. That'll be perfect. There's just too many picture so I need help.--RyRy5 talk 04:01, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so. Keep looking.--RyRy5 talk 04:13, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I actually like it. It will be backup for now. Something with a person and a globe would be better. Keep looking. I'm working on the Cool Cabal.--RyRy5 talk 04:30, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk Note

Sorry but only I can accept wheather a user can join the cabal. Although I'll let you decide on occassions, like the wikibreak I will take from March 31st to April 4th.--RyRy5 talk 04:38, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All done! Feel free to nominate yourself.--RyRy5 talk 05:24, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I kinda supported you. Go ahead and join! By the way, Good Morning!--RyRy5 talk 14:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, if I did, I'd have at least 3200 edits. I just woke up early because, SOMEBODY (User:Chrisy5 aka Best Friend) called me when I was sleeping. Also, the times you cussed were when you voted on the nerd cabal for computerguy, and a few other places. I don't like cussing. I'm just a good person. Oh, and go ahead with the panda bear thing. Also, I created userboxes for both my cabals so feel free to have one.--RyRy5 talk 14:50, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I guess I joined. I'm letting you teach at the classroom today. The bot that I may create is going to help, all wikiprojects/cabals if thay need it.--RyRy5 talk 14:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
When it's ready and created.--RyRy5 talk 14:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh! I'll try the RFA in June while I have 5000+ edits. If you didn't know, I've been on wikipedia for 1 month now and I already have over 3000 edits. Actually, I'm planning to have a practice RFA.RyRy5 talk 15:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Don't worry, that was only a few 3-4 months....Well, do you go to work/school, something?--RyRy5 talk 15:14, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to hear that. I rarely get sick. I'd say, once or twice a year. I've never broken a bone either. I'm on Easter Break. I'm going to science camp for 5 days with my class, that's when I'll be on a wikibreak.--RyRy5 talk 15:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it should be just like your logo. Also, the picture next to your logo should be a basketball. Look at my talk/user page, and look at the "sandbox" userbox image. Tell me how you like it.--RyRy5 talk 15:25, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Any comments on my sig? Also, did you look at the "sandbox" image on my user/talkpages?--RyRy5 talk 15:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good now. I may change my sig a little. First I need to do something with my userpage. The new image on the sandbox userbo is a box, with sand in it, with papers in it.--RyRy5 talk 15:38, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A new userbox. It's going to be a friend book.--RyRy5 talk 15:40, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Now, while I finish up the book and the userbox.--RyRy5 talk 15:45, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fun! Of course.--RyRy5 talk 16:40, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, don't forget about your scouting at the WP:SOX. I'll check on you in a few minutes. I'll be editing articles (I need to get my mainspace edits up).--RyRy5 talk 16:44, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
