Hey!!!

Hey can you give me a code for a signature like that? Except different colors, like blue and purple and pink. PLEASE RESPOND! Ok, Smcafirst?

But who are you though? You didn't sign...  Smcafirst | Chit-Chat  posted at 01:30, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations!

I just wanted to congratulate you for being the SECOND person to beat Darkness Lord! Yes, you are the second. AndonicO took the crown... for a day or two... but then Darkness Lord recovered it. So, congratulations on being the person to beat Darkness Lord, but he'll be coming at you hard, so keep up the great work! Go custom signatures!^FF7Freakzorz 18:16, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipediaholic test and new signature

Hi! We havn't talked in a while. Congratulations on having the #1 highest score on the wikipediaholic test! I really really really (x40) wish my score was that high, but sadly my score is only 9614 (rounded). I also want to ask you what you think of my new signature. I was tired of just a normal plain signature. Please tell me what you think. Qmwnebrvtcyxuz talk!

Re: nominate you?

Nick, While I am flattered that you would think of me in wanting to be re-nominated for adminship, I'm afraid I have to decline. This is nothing at all against you- I absolutely wish you the best. While I don't doubt your credentials, to nominate (or even !vote for) you, I would have to take a deep look into your editing history, which- no offense- I don't have the will to do. I've only !voted in two RfAs in the past seven or so weeks, and that's because I've chosen to be less active on WP, not wanting to put in the time and effort to edit, much less assess the credentials of an adminship candidate. I'm sure you'll have a great chance of getting the mop, and I'm sure you'll find an excellent nominator, but right now, that nominator is not me. Take care, Mike/Kicking222 22:25, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding a comment of yours

[1] - I hope you're aware that you don't own your userpage, your user subpages, or anything else hosted on Wikimedia Foundation servers. Because of this, claiming they are yours isn't going to help your cause. Picaroon 22:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I have a question

Why are you so enthused about gaining adminiship? ALTON .ıl 07:49, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

About your request for a coach...

Your name is still listed at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests.

Note that the instructions may have changed since the last time you checked, and the department now follows a self-help process. See the instructions on Wikipedia:Admin coaching.

If you are no longer in need of a coach, please remove yourself from the requests list.

Thank you.

Population

I see that you are doing an excellent job in updating the population for Canadian places. One thing I am not too sur about is putting it right at the start. I have started a thread at Wikipedia:Canadian wikipedians' notice board/discussion#Position of census data in the article and would like you to give an differing viewpoint. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 23:48, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I am discussing the issue at that page. Thanks!  Smcafirst | Chit-Chat  posted at 20:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar

File:Interlingual Barnstar.png		The Geography Barnstar
		This barnstar is awarded to Smcafirst in appreciation of his tireless and valuable contributions to Wikipedia:WikiProject Golden Horseshoe Roads. Nhl4hamilton 05:41, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Gee, thanks, Nhl4hamilton (Rick). You know, you also have contributed a lot, let me re-award you another barnstar??  Smcafirst | Chit-Chat  posted at 20:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

RaccoonFox ---> RingtailedFox

Yep, it's me! I've been extremely busy with home renovations and upgrades/repairs, work, and other things. I completely forgot, but i have re-joined your groups. :) RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 21:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, my userpage is pretty huge, as you've seen. i've divided it up into sections.... i've added it to my userbox page, though. And the only reason i "left" was that my old accoutns were hacked and deleted... RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 21:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

County Road Shields

As well, who is making those wonderful county road shields? i'd love to be able to edit them into Essex County shields. Do you have a template for them? RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 21:46, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Nice! it's good to see you guys are hard at work! I've been working on the Windsor area, as well. Check out the Roads in Essex County, Chatham-Kent, and Lambton County.. as well as elgin and Middlesex... :) RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 21:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I only picked that format because i thought it was the most efficient/least confusing. Besides, there are counties in the United States with the name "Essex", and they have county roads, too. However, i did make re-directs to the page from other names, as well. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 22:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Golden Horshoe Roads Wikiproject.

Hello again Nick. It was nice meeting you a few weeks ago. Sorry I haven't done anything for over a month, but I have been dragged down by homework and school stuff (and I really wanna quit newspapers!). From now on, I will only contribute probably on Sundays, if I'm not busy. Sorry in advance again! Hope to see you again soon and congratulations on your barnstar.

Some Hamilton Streets to Add to template.

Hi Nick, we have some more roads to add to the Hamilton template:

Lower City Arteries (Primary Roads):

Lower City Collectors (Secondary):

• Catharine Street
• Ferguson Avenue
• Hess Street
• Locke Street

Thanks buds.  Nhl4hamilton | Chit-Chat  posted at 11:55, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, Rick, I added all these streets in. Thank you very much for putting them in an alphabetical order, it is so much easier for me to do my job.  Smcafirst | Chit-Chat | SIGN  posted at 18:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Score

---

Greetings Smcafirst!

About that score, I think there's been a mistake. Someone added questions with a very large point score. If I remember correctly they are:

• Have you evolved into a cyborg due to overexposure from Wikipedia?
  • Because you consider anyone associated with Wikipedia to be a cyborg?
    • Do you use these powers you gained to greatly assist Wikipedia?
    • Or do you use them to vandalise unstoppably?

Or something to that effect. Each was worth about 1000000 points except for the last which was negative a similar amount. I clicked the second one which resulted in the high score. It was probably just vandalism and I apologise for being so gullible(sigh).

Anyway sorry for all the confusion. Since you probably can't accept that can you please remove the notice from my talk page, and restore my previous score. Thank you for being so considerate as to notify me. Hopefully I can be de-elephantied.

Sincerely, Yuanchosaan^Salutations! 06:44, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

RE:Wikipediholism Test

I understand, but it says my rank is ?st. I don't get this. - Patricknoddy^{TALK (reply here)|HISTORY} 18:41, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

How'd you create that navbar? - Patricknoddy^{TALK (reply here)|HISTORY} 18:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok here are my navbar links:

My userboxes (which are awesome!). - Patricknoddy^{TALK (reply here)|HISTORY} 20:24, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd rather have the old images back, so could you please revert your image changes? Thanks. - Patricknoddy^{TALK (reply here)|HISTORY} 22:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Template

As my thanks to you, I tried to make your job a little easier. See: {{Template:Elephantsquash}} for, well, you know.

Tell me if you like it. Happy Editing! Yuanchosaan^Salutations! 07:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes please, I'd love to be friends with you! Thank you for offering. I've only got one Wikipediholic friend and he's on holiday(sigh). I'll try to make that category as soon as possible. Happy Editing! Yuanchosaan^Salutations! 06:52, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, it's done. I've removed the template on your page so that you won't show up on the category page(I know, I'm being lazy but noinclude and includeonly irritate me ^-^). By the way, how do you feel about a "You are about to be crushed by an elephant" template? Happy Editing! Yuanchosaan^Salutations! 08:52, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Hang on, now it's up for deletion. Please comment here. Yuanchosaan^Salutations! 09:56, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
