Comment[edit]

While I agree that the brouhaha over the 'clerks' is largely groundless there is never a good reason to be making threats. --CBD _☎ ^✉ 15:37, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I also talked this over with another user and agree that the summary was a little rash. Rob Church (talk) 15:52, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My Watchlist.[edit]

Hey...can you check out my watchlist? There is an article by the name of 'Postmaster (slang}'. How did it manage to get on there? It won't delete itself off of it because it tells me 'can't delete...invalid name'. — Ilyan e p (Talk) 04:02, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CVU[edit]

Cute, but reverted :) -- Avi 21:33, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tut tut. That remained there for a while, you know. Clearly the CVU is losing its touch. How despicable.

It wasn't intended to be cute, nor was it intended as direct vandalism. However, no-one picked up on the point being made, which I suppose is about par for the CVU course.

Good day. Rob Church (talk) 21:56, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In that, I guess I agree with you that the CVU is losing its touch. It should have been much shorter than fourteen minutes. I realize it wasn't direct vandalism; I think I have the keypresses for "rvv" as muscle-memory now :) You admins have it easy. Regardless, to me at least, the CVU isn't a military group or whatever, it's just a way of pointing out that you are fighting vandals, like RC patroller. People get too caught up in things at times. Oh well. Have a good day, too :) -- Avi 22:03, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

removal of unblock request?[edit]

Could you please explain why you removed the unblock request template from Zen-masters page without comment? Thanks. --BostonMA 18:00, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I could, but given that there's discussion below and that he's not in a position to request unblocking, I shan't. Rob Church (talk) 18:14, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The template states:

Administrators: If there is a legitimate reason to remove the block, please do so; otherwise, please leave a note to that effect on the user's talk page.

I assume that you do not believe there is a legitimate reason to remove the block. As the person who has removed the unblock request, should you not leave a note on the user's talk page? --BostonMA 19:03, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Zero's RFA[edit]

If you're inclined to talk about it, I'm interested in knowing why you moved from "Firm Support" to "Neutral" on this RfA. I have no particular axe to grind, I'm just curious. Thanks, Nandesuka 18:16, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ZOMG! THREAT![edit]

I'm going to threaten you to use common sense on discussions, OR ELSE!

(Erm, actually, you were answering a lot of comments at once there. Are you sure that's wise? ;-))

Kim Bruning 16:57, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aaaaaargh! No, not teh rouge admin!!111! I'll be good, sir! Rob Church (talk) 17:53, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Anouk-Together-Alone-Album.png)[edit]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Anouk-Together-Alone-Album.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted seven days after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Hey Rob[edit]

Hey rob, you help out on mIRC wikimedia a lot dont you. LOL--I was the guy who said that I was going to sing a song about you--"Ode to Rob" Thanks for the comments to User_talk:Ta_bu_shi_da_yu about civility. I am going to tone down my own rhetoric and try to rationally talk this out.Travb 01:38, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The "Go ahead punk" comment[edit]

I was in an incredibly silly mood when I wrote this. I was out of line, have apologised to Travg. You are right, of course. I should never have said this. - Ta bu shi da yu 07:43, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence[edit]

MONGO guessed that Xoloz is putting Radiant's evidence on the page. I think that's probably a good guess. --Tony Sidaway 06:43, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Patches[edit]

Hi Rob, I've got some patches on bugzilla which are feeling lonely... please could you review them and maybe put them into CVS when you have a moment? This would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance! Lupin|talk|popups 13:38, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Patches I'm quite keen on seeing in Wikipedia

~~#4838 - Patch: relative oldids (prev, next, cur) for raw pages~~
#4855 - Section edit links should have section name in title attribute
#4273 - "New section" editing page should not submit when user hits enter
#4832 - Patch: hide own edits from Recentchanges and Recentchangeslinked
#4856 - Hide talk pages in watchlist

Less worthy patches

#4837 - Patch: export specific old revisions
#3446 - Not displaying article but only the diffs

My signature[edit]

I guess my signature is a little long, and I imagine it will slow the wiki slightly. I'll change it later. Thanks. Compu te r Jo e 12:43, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA[edit]

Could you please inform me why you have opposed, to enable me to improve? Many thanks. Ian13/talk 10:03, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Featured Article Help Desk/Requests[edit]

Hi,

I put a request for help to get an article (Chew Valley Lake) onto Wikipedia:Featured Article Help Desk/Requests - does that mean that everyone thinks it's already great & doesn't need any improvement or that no one has looked at the requests yet & I just need to be more patient? Rod 16:30, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Drink[edit]

For this, I'm buying you a drink. Cheers! ;-) Essjay ^{Talk • Contact} 05:22, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RFA[edit]

Thank you for supporting my successful request for adminship. I'll try to put the admin tools to good and responsible use. If I do anything wrong you know where to find me. Raven4x4x 08:43, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
