I love getting new messages, but please follow these guidelines:
1. Please be civil and respect that this ismytalk page. That means avoiding the excessive use of images (barnstars and smileys are fine, within reason), not treating my talk page as your personal chat room, and not altering your comments post facto.
2. Please sign your messages by typing ~~~~ or by using the edit toolbar. The automated signature button is the one to the right of the crossed out "W".
Please understand if I do not respond immediately. Also please be understanding if I do not answer your message in the order that it was received. I just don't have the time or energy to respond to everyone, so please accept my apologies if your message goes unanswered.
I will ordinarily answer on your talk page, unless requested to do otherwise. Thank you!
After hearing about the recent losses my heart breaks for you guys, then reading your page, I'm even more drawn to offer my prayers up for your friends and especially for you. I lost a daughter to Lupus SLE and Cardio pulmonary Hypertension. I understand the emotional roller coaster that you may be going through from time to time. As a "dad", I can only say I know how it is to watch from the out side and pray. It sounds like you've got great strength and a wonderful personality to boot. These things are such a blessing. I admire you and your sense of humor. I hope things look up and your not so down. I wish I had better words to offer you, to affect a smile on your face and to give you a better day. May God bless you and keep you smiling!
After all, you live in the Bay Area! Hay I lived there for years...I love that place! Especially The Tonga Room at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco!!! tacky, but I had my first real date there ;p
Anyhoo... Hope you feel better and more alive soon. Mystar 02:52, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
On another note, I see that you are ill. I'm so sorry that you're not feeling well. Best wishes, and get better! Regards, •The RSJ•Talk | Sign Here 02:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Seconded by — $PЯINGrαgђ . (Is it January 30 or 31?) 03:45, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still alive, and so are you. I'm sorry you've been ill...anything I can do? You know my email. --ElaragirlTalk|Count 03:56, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You just popped up on my watchlist, nice to see you back again. I'm sorry your health isn't great at the moment. Cheers, MoreschiDeletion! 22:16, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Saw that you're around again and wanted to say hi and hope life's OK for you right now. As always, don't feel the need to reply. I appreciate you may not be spending much time on WP.Itsmejudith 09:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Good to know you're feeling a bit better. I can appreciate why you have had enough of medical articles. What next, if anything? I do too much on controversial articles for my own good and wouldn't recommend it. I also take part in the wikification project which is more relaxing.Itsmejudith 08:47, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds like a good idea. Take good care of yourself now. Itsmejudith 09:05, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Kyoko, heard things haven't been going so great for ya. I'm not going to be around much over the next few days, but I should be around over e-mail, so feel free to drop me a line, k? All the best, riana_dzasta 11:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm *ponders seriously* :) I'm not sure about the red, I mean it stands out but I don't know about the purple and red together. Maybe darker purple for the o at the end? Or maybe make it bolder and leave it all the same colour? riana_dzasta 09:29, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Meh, the sig looks fine to me. Very aesthetically pleasing, nice colour blend. Cheers, MoreschiDeletion! 19:25, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say a dark purple would be better for the second o, as that shade of pink tends to hurt my eyes. Will(talk to me) 19:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. Nice to see you pop up on my watchlist again—welcome back. I noticed your comment on medicine-related articles, so I hope I'm not reminding you of anything untoward right now... Anyway, I sincerely hope you're doing better. Happy editing! Fvasconcellos 10:49, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm glad to hear it. If you need anything, just drop me a line. Very nice new signature, by the way :) Fvasconcellos 14:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that World Philharmonic Orchestra is tagged with Articles Needing Translation, and I remembered you mentioning a few times you spoke French. That is, if I haven't assumed too much of you. :) — $PЯINGrαgђ 23:52, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I wasn't sure if you were back to yourself yet, and I didn't really want to push it in your face, so I just kind of set it on the end of your radar. — $PЯINGrαgђ P.S. Springeragh, Springer, Spring, Cliffton, Cliff—I don't really care. :) 04:05, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine…it's only one page after all. — $PЯINGrαgђ P.S. Is that the exact same colour as the background here? 04:19, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Now that I look at the top of this (my talk) page, they are the same…and according to the article it's "Meduim Orchid"—which I never would have guessed had I lived to be 1000. — $PЯINGrαgђ 17:02, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for giving detailed, reasonable reasons for your opposition to my RfA. Most helpful. Drmaik 06:33, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And thanks again for your further thoughts and advice on my talk page. To be mulled over. It's only since the RfA that people like you have been giving such thoughtful and polite advice, so it was well worth it, despite the negative result. Peace, Drmaik 08:19, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't the kind of cross-posting you are suggesting here included in "aggressive cross-posting in order to influence votes, discussions, requests for adminship" as covered by WP:CANVASS? Kncyu38 15:35, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Have to say that as the recipient of such advice I did not sense any aggression, or feel that I was required to comply. But I think you both already know that. 13:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC)Drmaik
We do, and I know both of you were good-faithed all along, most obviously. I was just asking myself if WP:Canvass says anything about that special case. And, as I just read the follow-ups on Canvass talk, it seems someone found what I was looking for: People who have already voted in your RfA have expressed an interest in the debate -- I'm right now working on a little proposal for including this bit into the policy, I may post it on the Canvass talk soon. Regards to both of you, Kncyu38 14:22, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the fix. Peter Horn 16:16, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

La nouvelle ligne d'accès pour la Gare Centrale proposée
Au début des années 1920, un grand projet d'unification fut proposé : la construction d'une gare centrale regroupant toutes les lignes aboutissant à Montréal au centre-ville de Montréal. Can you adapt this image? Peter Horn 21:21, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Bravo! It doesn't win the humour award outright, but that shares equal first prize at the moment. Lol, that was amusing: thanks for the much-needed laugh. Cheers, MoreschiDeletion! 09:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I really should think about putting it up tomorrow, eh? :) By the way, do you think {{disease-stub}} is appropriate for a condition that causes a rash? Is a rash a disease? Hmmm. riana_dzasta 12:11, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's a terrible pun, Kyoko. Really, you ought to be ashamed of yourself :p riana_dzasta 12:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, don't say impending, impending makes it sound scary. Maybe approaching, or imminent. Impending makes me think of thunder storms. Hmmm, I think I'm tired too, I'm starting to ramble. riana_dzasta 12:28, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ah well, even if it doesn't work out, I'll just keep doing what I do now. I'm frighteningly thick-skinned. riana_dzasta 12:34, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've read your essay. All I can say right now is that I don't like "Grey's Anatomy". It's clearly for girls. I prefer Scrubs and House. —Kncyu38 (talk • contribs) 05:08, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You have to wait until it gets linked to the WP:RfA page to add your !vote. Event the nom (Spawn Man) shouldn't have his vote on there when it goes live, although that wouldn't cause an issue. —Doug Belltalk 07:53, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
My point though, is that your proposed changes is not what the critics said. The version that exists is what the critics said, and I am not in favour of chnaging history because some thirteen year olds are still heart broken over Esperanza. I used to have sympathy for them, now I'm just annoyed. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:47, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I know. It's just plumb crazy. :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Kyoko, I was actually reading the discussion on Peter's page when you messaged me. Sorry I didn't get back to you the other night. I think your idea is a good one and I suggest bringing it up on the RFA talk page. I find RfA to be a pretty traumatic experience. My own RfA was an easy one but it was still a stressful week. I think it would be good to add something like your text because a lot of good faith new(ish) people genuinely don't understand the process. I think your idea is a good one and I'll be interested to see what others think. Cheers, Sarah 08:11, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that. I'll be interested what other people have to say. By the way, you did support my RfA. :) Sarah 08:55, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, Kyoko! Good to talk to you again. You didn't hurt my feelings whatsoever, as your concern was a legitimate reason to oppose (that's why I listed it as #1 in my faults). I know a lot of editors feel the same as you do, and as they've been around the block longer than me, I trust what they say about disputes. I've always thought though that if I ever got into a situation where I was unsure about what to do and how to handle it, I would simply seek help from a more experienced user. That's what I do during my vandal-fighting, after all. Just recently there was this user (Jboyler, I think) that had a userpage that was simply full of obscene attacks on Wikipedia and its administration. Though I thought that he was clearly in violation of our rules, I didn't know for sure. So I went and asked a more experienced editor (a sysop, actually), and he took care of it.
But, either way, thank you for taking the time to write such a nice long reason as to why you opposed me. Happy editing! -- P.B. Pilhet / ☎ 02:31, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I know this is probably going to do squat for my reputation now (Not that I ever really had one), but I thought I'd leave a note of apology to everyone involved in my recent actions. An explaination is in order too. First off, I had a bad real life situation, that I really don't want to talk about, on the day this all started. I shouldn't have edited on Wikipedia afterwards, but I did. When I saw the situation with Riana's RfA, it kind of set off a build up of unvented anger at my situation & it was un needed. My whole tyraid had very little to do with the RfA, but I guess I took it out on that angle anyway. The way I was handled could have been better, but I wont go there in threat of making this sound like a back handed apology. My apologies go to Riana, who was also having a real life crisis at the time too. Basically the whole thing was a misunderstanding & venting process which I involved you all in. In regard to the whole sock puppetry thing, I had told my brother about my problems in due trust & he went & did something stupid on here. I don't really know what else to say but sorry. If that & a little bit of hard work repairing relationships on here doesn't change your current view point of me, then I don't think anything will. So again, sorry if I've inconvenienced you guys in any way & I hope that over time you'll think better of me. I'd love if you guys could forgive & hopefully forget & I wasn't really in control of myself these past few days. Hopefully things can get back to normal. :) Spawn Man 06:24, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Heck, you completely deserve the credit, thanks for helping out. I've put both articles on my watchlist - they look good, congrats - and I'll get round to them later when I have a bit more time. Cheers, MoreschiRequest a recording? 09:47, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks :D I was looking at the [block] button right beside my username, thinking 'What if I just... ' so I guess I got your message in time ;) But I think admins can unblock themselves - it's odd. Thanks :) riana_dzasta 14:14, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed... there is no emoticon for how I am feeling :p riana_dzasta 14:21, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! But that page has actually been deprecated, so it's not useful anymore, and it got deleted. I'm not sure why it still shows up in the template, perhaps I should be bold and remove the link to prevent confusion. Thanks anyway :) riana_dzasta 11:29, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, yeah, I went out immediately afterwards to buy a turtle for my little brother (no, seriously) and I completely forgot! Thanks for the reminder :) riana_dzasta 13:57, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Tachikoma, really sorry about E@L's page. I was getting an AMA status box for myself, and I put in my name to cut it and paste it. I really didn't mean to save or do any damage. I apologize for my mistake. Cheers, Dfrg.msc 23:58, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Of course Kyoko. I apologized to E@L right after apologizing to you. I understand your defensiveness, just look at my page! Thankyou for your patience and good faith. Regards, Dfrg.msc 07:06, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm quite embarresed, such a noobish mistake to make. Thanks again Kyoko. Cheers, Dfrg.msc 01:50, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hilarious, indeed! I did not even notice the pun when I proposed the merger. I'm doing fine right now, as I'm about to watch The Royal Tenenbaums once again, shutting down my Wiki activity for today. I hope you're doing fine, too? —KNcyu38 (talk • contribs) 16:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds interesting. I imagine figuring out the exact wording in simple English is even tougher, a bit more like writing a poem than prose. Funny that you mention formatting of citations, as this is what I just learned to do and I'm planning on formatting some articles that are in need of attention. —KNcyu38 (talk • contribs) 02:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for bearing your soul and writing honestly and openly about your depression. I believe this will be helpful for others. Having intimate familial experience with the devastation this can cause, I certainly appreciate hearing your accounts, from the point of view of the one sufferring from the depression.
I am also pleased to hear that your mood is elevated as of late. My best wishes for you. Jerry lavoie 13:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Roses are a symbol of love, and more importantly, as a symbol of WikiLove. Love makes the world lovely, and hopefully this rose has brightened your day. To give another editor a rose and to spread the love, leave the message {{subst:User:Sceptre/wikilove|message=your message}} on their talk page. Happy editing!
Hopefully, this might make you feel a little bit better after your mood changed due to other people's misfortunes - it's a terrible feeling and I hope that you and the affected people feel better very soon.

*shrug* Ayelie hasn't written me in a few weeks (as you know), I don't have that much contact with Peter, Cliff I'm supporting by thanking all of the people that've been nice to him (off of my own back), and Elara, well, I was able to cheer her up a bit with some talk messages a few nights ago. You're probably next in line on the "needs some messages of support" list :). Will(Speak to Me/Breathe)(Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash) 14:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Kyoko/Archive10, I just wanted to thank you for your support on my RfA, which was successful with a final tally of 61/0/2. It's always good to get support from another classical music lover. I intend to continue to seek and implement consensus as an administrator. If you have any comments about my use of the tools I would be glad to hear from you on my talk page. Thanks again! Heimstern Läufer 08:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for supporting my RfA. It was (47/0/0) upon closure and now phase I is complete. I think the tools will aid both me and the encyclopedia. Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, or if you think I'm misbehaving I'm always open to recall. Thanks, James086Talk 13:07, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there Kyoko. I noticed your reply to a comment on Talk:Bosentan and remembered a template I had floating around in my Sand box last year—I'd thought of making a dedicated navigational box for medicines used in PH management, and gave up on the idea. If it's not too much trouble, could you have a look at this revision of my Sandbox and offer some criticism? Maybe it'd be a nice addition with some tweaking... Hoping you're doing well, Fvasconcellos 13:13, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the quick reply. I thought of making it for drugs specifically used in PH, and adding a line at the bottom under the title "Others" (or something like that) with Calcium channel blockers · Thiazides · Digoxin, etc. At the time I designed the template I'd just read a nice review article on pharmacological PH management; they were still fresh in my mind :) Which do you think would be best, adding them or leaving them out? Fvasconcellos 13:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
