Thanks.

You do not know how much your message meant to me after I read this. Thank you. Fredil Yupigo 00:21, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

:P Friends are more valuable than gold, more valuable than money. Money can't buy you friendship (but friends can get you money :P Just joking.). Have a nice day, you take care too. Fredil Yupigo 00:32, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi there

Hi there, Riana, sorry about not answering earlier. I was changing my userpage. Did you get to talk to Will? I'm hesitant to leave any messages on his page right now for reasons which I'm sure you understand. As Moreschi said, he's going to be gone for a few days. You're not going to use my talk page as a chat room are you? Fredil sure has someone who doesn't like him. How's that for an incoherent paragraph? Hope you're doing well! --Kyoko 00:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, I noticed in the page history and such that mosf of the people who reverted Fredil's page didn't leave warnings. His page is on my watchlist, so if I see something, I'll be sure to leave warnings. Have fun in class! :| --Kyoko 01:05, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I should have put a smiley emoticon after my chat room question. I hope your classes are going well. 'Bye! --Kyoko 15:23, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Halloween

You're welcome :-) And happy halloween to you too! What kind of traditions do you have in Australia? I know in the UK they celebrate it differently than in North America, does Australia have unique traditions? — Pumpkin Editor, at Large! 03:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Well that's no fun! I saw on the Halloween page that it was observed in Australia with "increasing popularity". It is kind of a pointless holiday now, but so much fun! And the sugar highs that go along with it... — Editor at Large^(speak) 20:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Forged comments

I'd like to bring to your attention that User:Jasethesurfy has comments on his user page formatted to appear as though you placed them. Seraphimblade 10:22, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome

Thanks for the kind welcome you left on my talk page. Vanillagorillas 14:44, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

You have mail

You have a reply waiting for you at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Admin coaching  The Transhumanist   18:54, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikiproject:chemicals

Hi Riana, welcome at the wikiproject chemicals! I hope you have a good time editing pages about chemicals, there is always work to be done (a current example, Wim van Dorst just posted a lot of comments about lead nitrate, which is a FA-candidate). And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me, or one of the other participants in the wikiproject. Again: Welcome! --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 23:53, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA

Hello Riana. This is it, I think that I'm ready for an RfA. Runcorn created it here, and I've added co-nom sections for you and Mike, who offered to nominate me as well. If you haven't changed your mind about it, please add your co-nomination statement. :-) I shall launch my RfA late Saturday or early Sunday. Till then, feel free to edit the RfA as you please. Thank you. Best regards.--Húsönd 00:24, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. :-) Take your time, it'll be some 48 hours before I launch it. *starting to get slightly nervous* Regards.--Húsönd 00:28, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much for all the time you took to provide such a kind, thorough nomination. :-) I'll tell you when I launch my RfA tomorrow. Kindest regards.--Húsönd 17:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm thinking of getting an editor review

...but I want to wait until Will feels better. As I told Springeragh, the sensitive nature of the comments of Will and Fredil on my talk page, as well as my reactions, may be enough to discourage me from seeking review. If I am reviewed, all that would receive more visibility than it already has. Please tell me what you think I should do. Thanks! --Kyoko 01:58, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Riana, I decided to be bold and put myself up for editor review. I'm very curious what you have to say. Thanks for the encouragement! --Kyoko 13:44, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, and there's no rush to review me. You have something like 30 days before the page gets archived. Thanks, --Kyoko 17:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad that you are pleased with the lung transplantation article. I have a vested interest in learning about this stuff, and I hope that other people are helped by the article as well. Of course, Wikipedia should not be relied upon as a source of medical information, as I'm sure you know. --Kyoko 13:35, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

For the longest time, the link was merely a redirect to the organ transplant article, which tells you almost nothing about lung transplants, other than that lungs are organs, and they get transplanted. Even if I weren't personally interested in this, the lack of an actual article would be appalling for an encyclopedia that has more than 1 million articles. --Kyoko 13:48, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I really like this (especially if you watch carefully!) Thought it was funny given that people give teachers Apples Glen

Admin coaching

Sorry! I have been (and still am) away on vacation - just logged on yesterday for the first time in about 2 weeks... back in a few days, but yes, all yours :) Glen 10:27, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Admin coaching update

Im back in a day or two myself (Wednesday 11/8) so we'll get it all underway then if you're good to go?

Thanks! Glen 06:10, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Enjoy your apple - while you can! :)

Tee hee!

I saw that we both suggested our own names for Ravedave's baby.

I like the new color scheme! And you added me as a Wikifriend! Awww! My first Wikifriend.  :) -- Merope 16:16, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

By the way, you might get a kick out of this. -- Merope 20:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you...

...for your support of my recent RfA. If you ever need any help from me as an admin or as a coopyeditor, do not be afraid to ask. good luck on your exams. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 19:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar

		The Original Barnstar
		For hardwork and dedication to making Wikipedia a better place, I, Sharkface217, award you this Original Barnstar. Sharkface217 03:41, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Congrats. Keep up the good work. Sharkface217 03:41, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

You're quite welcome. Btw, I skimmed through your userpage quickly and noticed you were Australian. You wouldn't happen to know much about the diplomatic/economic/cultural/military relations that Australia holds would other countries, would you? I started the US Australia relations article a while ago and haven't been able to get much help editing it. Sharkface217 03:46, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Help needed

Hi, I need your help in fighting Vandals faster. Let me know if you use any tools or somthign that can make our work faster. And how do you usually fight them. codetiger 07:26, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I have downloaded Vandal Fighter 3.3 and couldnt guess how to use it. I have a big list scrolling around here. codetiger 07:44, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Highway's RfA

Thank you for your comments to my RfA, some things have been said in good faith and have been taken the wrong, on both sides. I would use the tools quite a bit if I received them, mainly for helping with the Pokémon Collaborative Project, since they are lacking a current active admin to merge histories, protet pages, fix renaming etc. This is quite a large task because of our mass amount of articles, over 600 for sure, which all receive a fairly high level of vandalism, which could be cut down on wih blocking tools, since many admins don't have Pokémon on their watchlists.

My next use for the tools would cutting back on speedy deletion backlogs, something which has gotten worse in just my time here, the length of time is not acceptable. Speedy deletion is supposed to remove harassing or inappropriate content quickly, and I think it's something that needs to be at the top of our back logs lists. Other uses would include DYK updation, and helping to mediate newer users, which isn't a tool use, but admins are supposed to help other users, and I want to help Wikipedia. Thanks for reading, Highway ^{Grammar Enforcer!} 08:59, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, I'm trying to get it under control. I've finally cleared all the archived requests, so I'm taking people of the top of the list now. Cheers, Highway ^{Grammar Enforcer!} 08:59, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Admin coaching!

Hello Riana! It's great to hear from you. I'm so glad to know that you've got User:Glen_S as your admin coach. He's a great guy with a lot of experience and a very solid understanding of the way Wikipedia works, and I'm sure you'll enjoy working with him. I look forward to voting for you on RFA in the very near future :-) Hope you're having a great day! David Cannon 11:25, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Re:birthday

Thank you so much for the wishes! Here's a piece of my birthday cake, for sharing my special day with me. It even has bees around the rim (my nickname)! — Editor at Large^(speak) 13:11, 4 November 2006 (UTC) :-)

Mmm... my fault, not yours. There are bees around the rim of the plate the cake is on -- my nickname (in person) is "Bee". Kind of a pointless observation since nobody here calls me that, but I was excited at finding it and I guess I thought I'd share :-) — Editor at Large^(speak) 23:54, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Riana! Go to bed! Your talk page has been at the top of my watchlist for hours, and I know for a fact it's shortly after 1:00 in Melbourne right now... on MONDAY! Here it's Sunday morning -- it's okay for these Western guys to be up and editing. But not for you! Go sleep!
</mothering> — Editor at Large^(speak) 14:09, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

We all need some tough love from time to time! And hey, I can enforce your wikibreak if you want me to. I'll request a block from an admin for not getting your homework done ;-) — Editor at Large^(speak) 02:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

You freaked me out when I saw an IP had edited my talk page... But anyway, thanks for the advice on talk page creepiness. It's not every day you get marriage proposals here :-)

Good luck with exam craziness and your enforced wikibreak -- you'll be missed! I'm sending my love & good wishes through cyberspace to you. ♥ — Editor at Large^(speak) 04:09, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

I have now launched my RfA. Once again, thank you for offering to nominate me. I hope that everything goes right. :-) Kindest regards.--Húsönd 19:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Mood

It's just the natural semi-withdrawal (even though it doesn't seem the right word) after a big thing. As for tiny feet…it's been coming for a while but I don't think I ever showed it to you. By January or February Phaedriel will have some hard competition! :P Just kidding! —  $PЯINGεrαgђ  22:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

You really are a dizastah, aren't you? >:P —  $PЯINGεrαgђ  02:02, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Admin coaching

Yay! Now I get trained up to be a ninja. :)

On the other hand, though, if Glen does manage to coach you well when he gets back, he'll be showered with praise and glory for the rest of his wikilife. To me, the challenge almost seems worth it... Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 00:42, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks! Take care while you're gone, and thanks for the birthday wishes. I hope you have a great time. :) Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 03:57, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your support regarding that admin's behaviour. It's really appreciated. :) Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 12:55, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh noes! The madness is spreading. :) Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 13:00, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Didn't you hear? Taxis are the spawn of, uh... some mad guy. Hence the Johnny Farnham - it's like a bad cold, only less glamorous. Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 13:10, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Hehe, nicely done. Shouldn't you be studying? I know I should, but I've been post-processing episode four of the podcast all day.. and, uh, picking fights, apparently. On a slightly more serious note, it's gone to RfC, if you're interested. Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 13:25, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

You know you don't have to, but thanks for helping. You're the ever-welcome voice of insanity in these matters. :) Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 13:28, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for making you feel icky - understandable, that. Thanks again for your help, even if it meant compromising your purity. :( Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 13:44, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Awesome! Does this mean I can oppose you for reasons of "partial borderline dis-incivility"? Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 13:51, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Who, me? Blinded by my undying hatredentirely professional conversation with you? Bah. Perish the thought. Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 13:59, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Ack, you're on to me! Maybe I can escape if I don my shining armour and flee... to my, uh, bed. Of safety. Because the 1am-ish-ness of the hour is enhancing your psycho-rays, or something. :) Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 14:16, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, have fun with that. I'll be reading up on Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, who sounds only slightly more riveting. :) Nighty night. Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 14:27, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Your Delightful Userpage

Hello Riana, I have copied your userpage because I have always loved it. I gave you credits and all the good stuff. I hope you don't mind. It can be found Here. Thanks.--Arjun 01:16, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Same here, on my talk page, although i'll be changing the colours once i figure out how! Well done, i think we're in agreement that the page is awesome! CattleGirl ^{talk | e@} 01:23, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks I will state you both but for now.^{ZZZZZZZZ.....} Have a nice day/night.--Arjun 03:19, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I added Erich and Editor at Large to both my userpage and talk page, and I've adapted my userpage. Once again, thanks! CattleGirl ^{talk | e@} 04:50, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Small favor

Hey Riana, I was wondering of you could help me out with getting votes for expanding an article I started a while back. My old US Australia relations article is currently being considered for expansion by the Wikipedia:Australian Collaboration of the Fortnight. To vote, go here and scroll to the bottom.

Thanks man! Sharkface217 04:57, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks, and I hope you have a fun break! Sharkface217 05:06, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Your Wikibreak

File:Statue of Terpsichore.JPG

Aww, we'll miss you! Good luck with your exams, I summoned the muse of inspiration to assist you. :-) Thanks for everything! Kindest regards.--Húsönd 05:12, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

BTW, allow me to translate what CrazyRussian wrote on my RfA, as you seemed interested: "I naturally support this candidate. Because he has cockroaches. I support all with cockroaches". Apparently CrazyRussian noticed from my userboxes/category that I own hissing cockroaches as pets. Funny guy eh. :-) --Húsönd 05:40, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Userpage

Thanks for reverting vandalism on my page. Least I could do was remove yours =)
Mkdw^talk 08:13, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

XND Radio

Thanks. I reverted even farther back. Academic Challenger 08:15, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

LOL! I just got one too. If he doesn't do anything else wrong, I guess I won't keep blocking him. Academic Challenger 08:34, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Sigh. He went back to his vandalish ways, so I blocked him again. Academic Challenger 08:40, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid it would take too much time to figure out exactly how to do it. I'm not sure which other admins are awake and online right now who are better at those more sophisticated blocks. Academic Challenger 08:44, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

It was really starting to look like it, but now he's creating accounts. I blocked one. Academic Challenger 08:56, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I didn't even get a barnstar from him, what a guy. Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my page btw. Mkdw^talk 08:59, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm totally putting this on my userpage hah. Mkdw^talk 09:06, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

That H15-Whatever was the one that I blocked a few minutes ago. Academic Challenger 09:00, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I blocked Hinomaru2, and then another one who actually vandalized my talk page! Academic Challenger 09:17, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is pretty amazing. On the other hand, vandalizing talk pages is really more disruptive than vandalizing user pages because it causes problems with real users communicating with the person being vandalized. Academic Challenger 09:24, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Just to let you know, I am going to bed now. That vandal we were dealing with made me really tired. Thanks for all your help. Academic Challenger 10:07, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm off to bed too. Thanks for the barnstar and all your help reverting. It was quite a night. Mkdw^talk 10:22, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Please clarify your accusation.

At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mock Duck you assert that I have "behaved inappropriately", in a manner that apparently "shocked" you. Please clarify precisely what you are accusming me of. - Nunh-huh 12:21, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Replied. riana_dzasta 13:02, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Vandals

NP... just doing my part! ;) --Wolf530 (talk) 16:46, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice, it is appreciated. VPRLC 20:21, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!) Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. What's New? The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one! A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, The Halo, Shreshth91 and HighwayCello 20:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

Abstain section

Actually, I've never seen an abstain section before. I'm not sure if it's okay, as it might interfere with Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard/RfA Report, which is operated by a bot that reads the vote count. Regards.--Húsönd 02:01, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, so it seems. :-) By the way Riana, is it in your plans to become an administrator? I was just checking your contributions and I think that you have great potential for a successful RfA. If you ever need a nominator, feel free to contact me. Not only I believe that you are fit for adminship, as I also believe in returning favours (yes, quoting yourself here). ;-) Best regards.--Húsönd 02:16, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

IRC

Hey again, do you know if Wikipedia has a regular IRC Chat Channel? I found the en.wikipedia channel for the site feed and the counter-vandalism.org channels, but nothing for regular chat. Mkdw^talk 10:29, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the help, I found it! Yeah, I borrowed it, I hope you don't mind. Though I am thinking about changing the colours around. Mkdw^talk 10:42, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm just starting to get the hand of layouts on here. I basically started yesterday. I was admiring your userpage and noticed a friends section, mind if I add myself? Mkdw^talk 10:46, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I was wondering why everyone wasn't italicized. So what time is it in Australia? Mkdw^talk 11:14, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Take care. Hope everything goes well at home =P. Mkdw^talk 11:55, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

The sub-pages that you requested a speedy delete for...

Done. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 15:24, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Naughty! ;)

Unless it wasn't you…so what is the pointof an enforced Wikibreak? :P —  $PЯINGrαgђ  Always loyal! 15:56, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, and the messages on Spring's talk page? Hmm?
On a side note, I noticed the nanotechnology mention on your user page. It's on mine too, but unfortunately it doesn't appear I'm as enthusiastic about it... — Editor at Large^(speak) 20:29, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Nope :-) Wish I was interested in chemistry and bio, but unfortunately the only thing about Nanotechnology that interests me is the size (I love tiny things) and the building-blocks aspect of it; stack up a bunch of nanoparticles and make a robot that travels through the bloodstream! Maybe you can get me interested in the scientific part of it :-)
P.S. You didn't answer my question... what happened to the wikibreak?!? — Editor at Large^(speak) 20:46, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I see... lack of willpower I understand -- presentation due Thursday and I've spent all night here. *sigh* P.S. added you to MSN — Editor at Large^(speak) 22:11, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, replying up here (sheesh, I should just make my own section -- "Editor at Large driving Riana Crazy"! At any rate, you are very welcome. You're loved here, Riana! Face it!
I got rid of my userpage and pared down my talk page for a while. It's coming back, no worries! — Editor at Large^(speak) 11:35, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

To my friend Riana dzasta

For being my friend and all that goes with it, I, $PЯINGεrαgђ, give you this cream tart. Enjoy! Riana, how could I have forgotten to put this here for so long? Certainly not because your name starts with R, therefore being down further on the list! No excuse there! Well, I've known a few who give this out, and it sure tastes good, so eat up!

An oldid on Nail Polish? I don't get it. —  $PЯINGrαgђ  Always loyal! 19:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Come to think of it, I have always tried to default to Polish instead of polish. :P —  $PЯINGrαgђ  Always loyal! 19:23, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism does rock. Even though reverting it rocks more. Speaking of which, I should thank Blnguyen and Atomic Suit for reverting the vandalism that $PRINGeragh left behind… —  $PЯINGrαgђ  Always loyal! 01:15, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Something to think about...

After your exams are finished, would you like to be put up for WP:RfA? youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 20:50, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Cool. Let me know when you are ready in late Jan (after you get back from India). In the mean time, test out the waters in some areas of the 'pedia that you may not be familiar with (if there are any). BTW, to all other potential noms, I CALL DIBS. :) youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 20:59, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Oops, didn't realize that others had approached you. Well, I guess I just hafta beat them to the rush when you get back. Even if I lose out, let me know whe you get back with a non-RfA related message (you don't want to appear to be campaigning) so I can accidently stumble across your RfA ;) youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 21:13, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, there are alot of newer users these days armed with popups that love to revert and give warnings. Just say that you are back. I will then zoom over to RfA and look for you to either create an RfA or give my support to an existing one. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 21:28, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

WHAT. I want to nominate her! She's mine, bitch! Step off! Or down. Or something. I'm not really hip to the kids' lingo. Uh. What I mean to say is, I'm happy to co-nominate you. Also, don't worry about images! I have, like, ten image edits, and I made it.  :) (Seriously, I should really work on that.) Good luck with exams! -- Merope 21:36, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

←:←
I'll be proud of myself if I nominate her. ;) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  Always loyal! 01:16, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I won't even bother intruding on this... Riana, don't you feel loved? — Editor at Large^(speak) 01:18, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Who wouldn't? :D —  $PЯINGrαgђ  Always loyal! 01:21, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

We can do a co-nom a la Phaedriel. Will ^{(Glaciers melting in the dead of night)} 10:36, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

But everyone co-noms her, will there be anybody left to vote? Everybody who knows her will want to nom her! It'll be a unanimous nom without a vote! — Editor at Large^(speak) 11:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

:p Thanks for the kind words, guys. I had no idea people thought I was doing OK - I'm rather humbled, to tell the truth. I have to do some admin coaching first, and have to finish my exams, and have to go to India (!), but after that, I'll definitely give this some serious thought. Thanks very much for being so very encouraging! Now get off my talk page before people accuse you of collusion and conspiracy... :p riana_dzasta 11:28, 8 November 2006 (UTC) P.S. E@L, noms get to vote too, so don't worry about that! :)

HEY! Hands off, I found her first! Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 11:08, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Staking my claim in co-nom list - I GOT THERE FIRST - we had a talk about this via e-mail a couiple days ago. Speaking of which, I'm just about to send you one, Riana. Cheers, Moreschi 21:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Riana

Hey Riana, thanks a lot for supporting my RFA... Well even though we never interacted before, you're kind of hard to miss:).. I have added myself to your list of friends. And well I see quite a lineup for your upcoming RFA... All the best! -- Lost^(talk) 10:51, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Chemistry portal

Yes, a "Did you know" section might be a fun idea. I'm very busy right now, but I'll starting thinking of some interesting things to put on there. In the meantime, if you have any bright ideas feel free to take the initiative. Welcome, by the way, it's good to see another chemist joining us - the chemists here get on pretty well together so I hope you'll find us a friendly group to work with. I teach organic chemistry, so I hope you do choose to go into that field! If you need any help (other than doing homeworks for you!) I'd be happy to help out. Cheers, Walkerma 16:35, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Ditto, but I'm not sure I could be much help there... I honestly know nothing about chemistry! I'll help with formatting, etc. but can't comment on the content. Anyway, let me know what you need and I'll see what I can do! — Editor at Large^(speak) 18:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC) PS. it's not mood anymore, it's life!

Thanks and hey

Hey Riana - thanks for the welcome. It was in record time, I'd only saved my userpage about one minute earlier!! Really nice of you. xx raining_girl 17:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA-ness

Woah, you modelled yourself on me? What, were you drunk at the time? o.O And I guess I'll be thinking seriously about adminship in a month or so (maybe for Christmas?), or whenever Yanksox decides that I'm not crap. :)

And thanks for the support on the Benis thing. Mostly, I'm concerned that I didn't take enough time to ensure that I was right on with the story before posting it, but it's not a huge thing -- I really just want to make sure I hurt other people as little as possible, hence the Purple Star and such. That was also mentioned in Ars Technica's rebuttal of my post, which means that at least a few thousands people will be aware that I screwed up initially. Thank god. :) Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 12:20, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh god, I can imagine the edit summaries you'd leave... :o Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 12:36, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

If you ever run for adminship, I demand that you do it while drnka. :D

Hmm.. we just released a special edition of the podcast, and only after I spent an hour uploading the files and posting them on the internets did I realise that about twelve minutes in, there's this strange period of silence for about five seconds, so half a question is missing. "Fuck it," said I. I'm really professional about this, can you tell? Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 13:46, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

No, I was stoopid enough to do it myself. Maybe next time I'll palm it off to User:1ne... :) Hey, shouldn't you/we be in bed? It's past my bed time! Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 14:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Nighty night -- I guess I'll see you tomorrow, or sometime soonish. :) Good luck with any exams you may have in the near future! Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 14:20, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm watching you. >_> Or rather, WP:ER is on my watchlist... Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 11:45, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello!

Thanks for the welcome. :-) Kavadi carrier 12:28, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Fw: personal update

Hi there, I'm now being allowed a limited time online during my hospital stay. I don't have the time to respond to everyone, so I have to make this fast. Doctors have increased my dosage of sertraline, and they hope the increased dosage combined with more frequent therapy sessions will help stabilise my mood. I hope to be out of here by the weekend. Please spread the word for me, OK? As a side note, I am extremely concerned about User:Editor at Large. Wish me luck. (from Kyoko, posted on my talk page.) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  Always loyal! 19:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Most things that bother people don't make me very angry, but this isn't one of them. They should consider themselves lucky that I don't live where she does. —  $PЯINGrαgђ  Always loyal! 20:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

My RfA:

Thank you so very much for voting support in my RfA. However, I have withdrawn due to reasons that a stressed user would withdraw under. I'm sorry I have failed you & your expectations. Thanks, Spawn Man 09:02, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Good luck!

Good luck with the exams, Riana! I hope they go well! And remember, Wikipedia will still be here when you come back, so don't worry about being away. :) -- Natalya 17:19, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Your confidence means a lot - thanks! -- Natalya 05:04, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the ECOTM!

There's no problem with you, or anyone, joining up. Hope to see you soon! Start digging around for our first candidate, if you've got any ideas! DoomsDay349 05:20, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Hi Riana dzasta, I am very thankful to you for supporting and comments on my succesful RfA. Shyam ^(T/C) 06:25, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Wow

Aren't you the popular one! How are things going? Mkdw^talk 08:38, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Rather slowly, but not poorly. Most of the oppose have very unusual reasons, most of which don't truly make sure or have some sort of inaccurate false reasoning, which I suppose is good because that means there is not a lot wrong with the article. Been trying like crazy to get it Featured though. heh, feel like voting on the subject (good or bad)? Mkdw^talk 08:43, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

hah yeah I was curious to see who would be the first person to find it. There are a couple places on my userpage where its hidden. And thanks for reviewing Vancouver, it was very thorough. I'll try and make the changes tonight. Mkdw^talk 16:27, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Piano

How long have you played for? Fredil 15:19, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Things haven't been too bright for me lately. I've played the piano for 6½ years now (I think), so that's about half my life, which is kind of scary. I'm in about Grade 8, soon to be grade 9 (RCM level), and have attempted about five of Chopin's easiest Preludes op. 28. Fredil 15:22, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Barnstars

So that fake barnstar came from you?!? Hahaha too funny. :-) Thank you. I'll place the broccoli one on my user page. Regards.--Húsönd 15:49, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, after some investigation, I see that you only gave me the broccoli one. The other barnstar was such an odd way for a displeased user to show his frustration.--Húsönd 15:56, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
