I'm curious why you reverted my changes. It's important to note that a sock of him might be back. I saw this at ANI. Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 03:35, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely not important. Gurch may well still be editing but not as Gurch and that's all that matters. It's "might" and "maybe", and it's completely unneeded, and none of anyone's business what his IP is. Majorly (talk) 08:29, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

mozart dyk

I thought on reading that the hook might be .... dyk that amadeus was in the top 1% of earners in the year that he is alleged to have been buried in a "paupers grave"? Just a thought Victuallers 21:00, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I have answered your question.--U.S.A. (talk contribs) 15:21, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I also think with just a little more experiance, he/she should be fine.--U.S.A. (talk contribs) 15:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

DYK

Updated DYK query On 14 September, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Stewards

although stewards have the ability, they should never give rights to users on projects which have (active) bureaucrats, even if it's non-controversially giving them back :P).

Oops, you're right, of course. :-) --Kim Bruning 23:27, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

RFA Thanks

Re:Closing Rfas

Hello Majorly. Thank you for your concern about closing Betacommand's Rfa. I have thought it over, and decided that it was unnessary. My understanding was that the Rfa was due at 20:17, 13 September 2007, when I closed it at 03:59, 14 September 2007. If you please diagree, please contact me on my talk page. Again, thank you for your comment. Regards, --Hirohisat Kiwi 04:25, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Your So Mean!

WHy did you delete North Point High School? Huh? I was trying to get my school reconized. Alyg8r 14:54, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Probably because it failed to meet our notability guidelines. Majorly (talk) 15:20, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

One of your deletions is at DRV here. Thought you might want to know. --JodyB yak, yak, yak 15:56, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

R E T I R E D]

This user left Wikipedia in September 2007.

Alex, I am sure that you have posted this notice without any desire for us to post tributes or goodbyes, but you will have to tolerate this one anyway. I wish you well in whatever you choose to do next, and hope that when you are ready you will return to Wikipedia. Regards, Newyorkbrad 00:55, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Alex, what the hell!?!?! I really do hope you come back to Wikipedia in the near future. You are a valued member of the community, and your contributions to the many Wikimedia projects you have participated in will surely be missed. In any case, I wish you best of luck in your future endeavors. Best, Nishkid64 (talk) 01:01, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Meh. :( EVula // talk // // 01:18, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Various desirable objects enclosed in an absolutely shameless attempt to get you to come back. ~ Riana 01:24, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Desirable? Debatable. Anyway, hope this is only temporal Majorly, you're a huge help around here, and a friend. · AndonicO Talk 01:39, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
It will be a huge shame if you leave, Majorly, you are easily one of our best contributors. I hope that, whatever troubles you may have, you get over them soon. Good luck. Acalamari 01:41, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry that your life cannot involve Wikipedia right now, and I can assure you that you will be greatly missed. You have helped me out a great deal, and I, personally, consider you somewhat of a mentor. Thanks for all that you have done for me, the encyclopedia, and every other editor here, and I will surely be praying for you, Alex. Good luck with everything, and I hope that you can someday return. Cheers,  hmwith  talk 01:57, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Get your ass on MSN, dude. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 06:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Ouch H2O... May I point out that he probably isn't able to edit anymore, even if he would like to? He mentions personal issues here: [1]. · AndonicO Talk 09:05, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
[...]At his earliest convenience... Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 07:12, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Significantly better. Now all we need is Majorly on MSN... :) · AndonicO Talk 00:04, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Please, dont leave

This is a sad day if it truly signals the end of your time here. You are, in my eyes, one of the best and most admirable administrators and editors here on the project', and we will all be losing something if you retire. If you are leaving based on choice, and not because of circumstances that are out of your hands, I really hope that you might reconsider. At the very least, please go on MSN sometime. Best wishes, and kind regards, -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 09:30, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh damn... *sniff*. Why do all the good contributors leave? Hope you decide to come back some day, and continue your excellent work. --DarkFalls talk 10:23, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
I hope to see you back one day. You are and will be missed. Cheers! -- Flyguy649 talk contribs 15:40, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
This is a shame, I am sorry to hear this and hope you will be back with us one day. GDonato (talk) 16:19, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I wish you wouldn't leave, but I assume you have your reasons. What a loss for Wikipedia, you're one of the best. — aldebaer⁠ ] 18:06, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I completely concur with everyone; you are one of the best users on Wikimedia. I certainly wish you the best—the Wikimedia community misses you already! —O () 22:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your honorable service. The community owes its thanks to your numerous contributions and administrators that you nominated. bibliomaniac15 15 years of trouble and general madness 22:43, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
(tears) I will miss your jokes in IRC. I wish you well, in whichever you decide. Mrianda 08:09, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
"Editors should only contribute if they enjoy doing it," Majorly once said. We can only hope that one day the flame of wanting to contribute will be reignited. —[[Animum | talk]] 23:18, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Wow, that sucks... I hope you will have a healthy rest during your wikibreak and return when the time is right. You will be missed! Melsaran (talk) 18:01, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
What an abrupt farewell! I'm accustomed to seeing you around, I don't know how to explain my feelings as I no longer see your familiar signature in discussions. Hope that it's just a temporary phase and you will come back soon. Miss you so much! @pple complain 14:16, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
What??? Why is everybody retiring? Essjay, Alastor Moody, Arjun01, H, Jaranda, Chacor, and now you. Well, like they say, everyone gets old, everyone retires. Especially when so many admins start retiring all at once, thes hock is almost unberable. I'll remember you all. ~AH1(TCU) 15:03, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar

The Surreal Barnstar
I, The Random Editor, award thee Majorly the Surreal Barnstar. We at Wikipedia thank you for your great contributions, and for the amount of time you put out. You truly are surreal Majorly. --Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor 02:07, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Wow, that's a name I'm going to miss seeing around. If you can't be bribed with barnstars, I wish you the very best wherever the future may take you, and if you do decide to come back, you will be more than welcome. Seraphimblade Talk to me 04:29, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

My dear Majorly...

I told you that sorrow would fade, friend,
And you would forget half your pain;
That the sweet bird of song would waken ere long,
And sing in your bosom again;
That hope would creep out of the shadows,
And back to its nest in your heart,
And gladness would come, and find its old home,
And that sorrow at length would depart.

I told you that grief seldom killed, friend,
Though the heart might seem dead for awhile.
But the world is so bright, and full of warm light
That 'twould waken at length, in its smile.
Ah, friend! was I not a true prophet?
There's a sweet happy smile on your face;
Your sadness has flown - the snow-drift is gone,
And the buttercups bloom in its place.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Know that we'll always be waiting for your return, dear friend!
I already count the days until your loving presence is back at our side...
Love,
Phaedriel

Goodbye, and thank you

I'm sorry to see you left the project after all your good work. I just wanted to say thank you for supporting me in my RfA, which was successful. Very best of luck for whatever you do in future. — Hex (❝?!❞) 13:07, 20 September 2007 (UTC)


RFA Thanks!

Thanks for your participation for my RFA bid and for your support.--JForget 23:15, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

So sad to see you leaving, Majorly. You're one of the good guys. Do keep in touch and if there's anything I can do, just give me a shout. Hope you'll still be around on the other wikis. Be well / bua 's beannachtaí - Alison 18:56, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

An AfD needing closing.

Hi this AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrew D. Chumbley has gone past 5 days now, I was wondering if you could close it or ask another admin to close it? I ask you just because I asked MailerDiablo in the past and don't want to pester him again, but he asked you to close the one I asked him about in the past, a couple of months ago. This one I think is more clear-cut. If AfD's where there's been a lot of rowing/strong feelings run on, I think it's torture for a lot of those involved lol:) Hope you can help, or ask someone else to.Merkinsmum 14:13, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

 Done. Majorly (talk) 15:00, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Ronald A. Carson

Majorly--I see that you deleted Ronald A. Carson--I will make some edits to the page to ensure that it will not be deleted again--I would greatly appreciate your assistance with keeping this page permanent. Ronald A. Carson is a wonderkid in American political circles and he is a role model to thousands upon thousands of African-Americans, he more than fits the criteria for notability and I will re-create the page in a manner that exhibits that---you do great work and I thank-you for your help —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alinob77 (talkcontribs) 17:38, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Majorly/Archives/33!
Thank you for voicing your opinion in my RfA, which passed today with a unanimous 79/0/0 tally. It feels great to be appreciated, and I will try my best to meet everyone's expectations. If you have any advice or tips, feel free to pass them along, as I am sure that I will need them! Cheers, hmwith talk 21:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
