Copyright status

Umm... I don't fully understand how this works. So, how do you change copyright status? Syntheticalconnections (talk) 02:17, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I kinda meant where, but let me see... Syntheticalconnections (talk) 14:42, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Adoption

Hello, I am looking for an adoptor and all of my friends said that you were willing to adopt me. Also, they said that you were the "best of the best" when it comes to helping people out. I just wanted to ask if you could please adopt me because I am a noob and I really need help creating/editing articles. Please reply on my talk page with the subject RE:Adoption. Thank You!!!--NemesisofReason 18:39, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

THANK YOU!!!

First of all, I would like to thank you for adopting me. Second, I would like to know how you create your own barnstar. Please reply back on my talk page. thank you--NemesisofReason 14:33, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

OMG!!! YOU KNOW WHO ALICE IN CHAINS IS???

Hey, Dylan, who told you about Alice in Chains? That is my favorite band of all time. My mom introduced it to me when I was 3 years old. Please tell me your favorite songs!! Thanks--NemesisofReason 16:00, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Okay, Now I Need Some Help on Stopping Vandalism

Could you please help me with the basics on fighting Wikipedia vandalism?? I would really help me a lot. thank you--NemesisofReason 23:39, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Nemesis of Reason

Hi Dylan! According to his User page, you have adopted Nemesis of Reason. Today, he has had 13 new sections added to his Talk page, but has not responded to any of them. He has edited throughout the day, even to his User page, but seems to have taken no notice of the comments on his talk page about how he is dealing with recent changes patrol, most of it negative. I was hoping that, as his adopter, you could get him to take note of them before someone opens a file on him over at WP:ANI, if they haven’t already. I would hate to see someone as eager as him have that eagerness and energy sapped out of him, when it could be avoided. Thanks! (P.S. To keep the thread together, please respond here. I will have your page watchlisted, but would love a {{talkback}}. Thanks!) — SpikeToronto (talk) 22:42, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Sent Nemesis a notice on his talk. --Dylan620 (contribs, logs, review) 23:29, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I hope it works out. I think he’s well-intentioned. Thanks! — SpikeToronto (talk) 00:02, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

I think he's well-intentioned also, but competence is required on this project. If this continues tomorrow, a short block to simply command his attention might be considered. Let me know what you think. Tan | 39 02:23, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Dont worry he has good intentions now and will comment today. Im sure of it, as a friend W will make him!!! (lol) anyway thanks for your concerns and Im sure he will be a good editor. Cheers.--Coldplay Expert 10:18, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Admin

How did I lost your vote? --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 18:17, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

You "lost my vote" (really only made me no longer open to persuasion) because I missed the edit count and edit summary issues brought up by SarekOfVulcan while he edit-conflicted with me. --Dylan620 (contribs, logs, review) 18:20, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Can you be my admin coach? --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 18:30, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

I'll give that some thought – I'd like to help, but my initial hesitation is 1.) I've adopted many users in the past, but I've never technically been an admin coach before, and 2.) I'm not an admin, so I'm curious about if I'd be a valid coach. --Dylan620 (contribs, logs, review) 18:38, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)Well to be an admin coach, you would have to be an admin, it's a slightly different process to adopting, see Wikipedia:Admin coaching. But it's possible that Tyw7 just wanted an adopter, something you're very good at :) - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 18:42, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

What does an adoptee do? --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 18:54, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

It's basically they have a user (their "adopter") who they can ask questions, who sets them tasks to do, and teaches them the mysterious ways of Wikipedia. Dylan knows more about it then me :), but you can read WP:Adopt a user for more. Also, Spongefrog isn't an admin, so he wouldn't be able to be your admin coach either. To find an admin coach, ask one of the user's on this list - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 18:59, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

FWIW, Kingpin, I can't find anything on the coaching page which says you have to be an admin to coach another user – can you please point me to where you saw that? --Dylan620 (contribs, logs, review) 19:06, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Can you be my adoptee? (umm.. I think I'm the adoptee and you are the adopter.) --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 19:12, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Well this page says admins interested in coaching ... So I kinda went on that. I didn't really read the main page in depth tho - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 19:11, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

→Hey, who says I'm not an admin!? Oh, wait...I forgot about that. Lord Spongefrog (review) (I am Czar of all Russias!) 19:22, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

LOL Spongefog! Oh and Dylan, you seem ot be swamped with requests lately. I feel so sorry :( I would help but I dont know a thing about adopt a user. (considerind I have only been on for like 3 months)--Coldplay Expert 22:47, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Rememmber me ? I have a few posts on this page which are in need of replies... Unless of course you're deliberately ignoring me, which of course you aren't. Rkr1991 ^{(Wanna chat?)} 03:07, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

OOps

LOL, ok I thought someone is vandalising the page. Haven't seen the update on the main NHC page. -IrfanFaiz 01:25, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Re: RfA

Honestly, I am more pleased that you trust to nominate me than the nomination itself. The short answer is, yes, I would be glad to join the admins community. I've looked through a few nominations in the past and have a rough idea on the questions asked, but any word of advice is welcome. Materialscientist (talk) 02:18, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Was so busy placing your barnstar on my awards page, I forgot to thank you in the first place. :) Thanks for the shiny, I appreciate it. GlassCobra 19:02, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello

Guess who :) --Meaghan ^{guess who :)} 22:58, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Did I forget to thank you? ..

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed nearly unanimously with 174 in support, 2 in opposition and 1 neutral votes. Special thanks goes to RegentsPark, Samir and John Carter for their kind nomination and support. I am truly honored by the trust and confidence that the community has placed in me. I thank you for your kind inputs and I will be sincerely looking at the reasons that people opposed me so I can improve in those areas ( including my english ;) ). If you ever need anything please feel free to ask me and I would be happy to help you :). Have a great day ! -- Tinu Cherian - 06:02, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

As Halloween is my favorite holiday, I just wanted to wish those Wikipedians who have been nice enough to give me a barnstar or smile at me, supportive enough to agree with me, etc., a Happy Halloween! Sincerely, --A Nobody^{My talk} 23:51, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
