Are you around Shauri? I left you a reply...sorry it took so long. Big invisable *HUGZ* from your Ghost, --R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 18:05, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

What better thing to say? :-) --HappyCamper 21:41, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Bias

Never mind your professional bias. Let me know when you're done expanding, and I'll check it out. - Mgm|^(talk) 22:04, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Something of Interest to Me

Redwolf24 told me not to run for admin for whatever reasons, not enough edits, not here long enough. But Voice of All(MTG), is running for RfA, and I have more edits then he does, and he's been here for a few days more than I have. It just seemed interesting to me, that he supported this person but advised me not to run for admin. I'm not going to say anymore about it, since its not a big deal but I just thought it was interesting. Private Butcher 21:28, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

I recommended you not run in light of the recent controversy surrounding you, and I don't believe your RfA will pass, and that would cause unmeasurable wikistress. If you want to run, I'll probably still support, but keep in mind that passing is unlikely. Redwolf24 (talk—How's my driving?) 21:40, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Cat:Texas Ranger Division

Hi, i'm going to take that invitation to drop by on your talk page right now :-). I just thought i'd leave you a note to say I created a cat(s) for the TRD. By the way, woot - I'm really thrilled for you that the article is on its (hopeful) way to FA status. Great work on responding to the constructive criticism on its FAC page. Take care. SoLando (Talk) 02:47, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Ah man, I'm gonna have to blush now *blushes*. I seriously love your messages; they are so eloquent and articulate in prosé. Anyway, looking at the FAC objections, I suppose you could adress one of Rama's issues (alleged raciai discrimination generally only mentioned as a resolved issue for the TRD) by including modern day racial issues or just removing the text that he has issue with (perhaps). Performing a quick trawl of google, I only found a few conspiracy theory sites (they're not gonna get me, I tell ya!) or simply cases the TRD were investigating (and not accused of). The more likely path to success (of course) would be to summarise the article, as you said, and as long as that gets it to FA status, so be it!

By the way, now that I'm an honorary Wikipedian Texas Ranger, I'm now going to have to do the obligatory YEE HAW! :-D Take care and have a wonderfully bright day (not difficult, when you live in Spain :-)) SoLando (Talk) 04:18, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Texas Rangers

I'm quite happy with the current wording and am striking out my objection. Keep on the good work!

I can understand what it feels like when people have objections after you've worked for a long time on an article... David.Monniaux 08:08, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Featured article

Congratulations my dearest Shauri for your new featured article.--Wiglaf 17:15, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I am not used to the IRC program, but I left you a message there.--Wiglaf 17:21, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I will try again!--Wiglaf 17:26, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

There.--Wiglaf 17:29, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Great! I will watch that programme for new contacts, later tonight! A huge hug!--Wiglaf 17:36, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, I give you a huge wet kiss and hug you and dance around with you. I wish I had a second heart to give you for this, but I have only got one!--Wiglaf 18:35, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I have left you a message on irc. Are you there?--Wiglaf 21:32, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

And I'd give you a second star, but I don't have one at the moment;> But I do add my hugs and congrads to Wiglaf's. First an admin, now a second FA...October is turning into a great month for you here on the Wiki. You've certainly helped make our month with your encouragement, support and charm. --R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 04:25, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Everything Wiglaf and R.D.H. (or Ghost, if I can call you that) said, I agree with! Again, great work! Take care. SoLando (Talk) 08:44, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Congrats to you!

Congrats to you Shauri, from one Texan to another! You did an awesome job on the Texas Ranger Division article and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it (snippets here and there while at work, shhhh!). I thought you did a great job with the Spring Heeled Jack article and thank you for taking this one on and expanding it. Have you been to Texas? If not, you need to. ;o) Thanks again! Maltmomma ^(chat) 19:43, 16 October 2005 (UTC) P.S. Congrats too on your recent promotion to admin. If I'd known at the time, I would have voted for you.

How do I do it?

How do I go about removing foul language on an article, if the creator, keeps reverting my edits? Can you block him? I've explained on the talk page of the article the laws surrounding it, but he wont listen. See Here & Here. I just want the foul language &/or the explicit external links removed. The article should be neutral, meaning it contains no foul language or pornographic links. Any help would be appreciated. Spawn Man 22:25, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your note

Hi Shauri. Thanks so much for your message. I really think you are giving me too much credit for Texas Ranger Division. My additions were really very minor, and I was very happy to help in my small way. I appreciate very much your desire to nominate me for administrator. It would be an honor to serve in that capacity - and all the more so if you are the one to nominate me since I have such great respect for your editing. Therefore, I would be happy to accept the nomination, and I would do my best to live up to the vote of confidence. Johntex\^talk 23:00, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Request

Hi there, as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/1911x2004 there was a town in the autonomous community of Valencia on the list, so I created the article using the facts from the two Brittannica articles and the Sueca Ajuntament site. But since I don't know Catalan, I was hoping you could check it out and hopefully find some more sources for the article. Specifically, this page says "El municipi de Sueca posseïx 7 quilòmetres de costa" which I assume means they own or possess that land, but I wanted to be sure. Also I didn't know if city or town is the right word since I don't know if there are official distinctions for those terms in AC of Valencia. So I was hoping you could verify and improve the article a bit. Thanks - Taxman ^Talk 14:38, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey

Hey, I'm really nervous about my RfA, because I've pretty much already have like 75% or less support. I don't really think it'll pass, I know its only the first day, but the most votes come in on the first day, and the first day is always a sign of things to come. I probably should of listened to Redwolf24, I guess I just got to antsy for admin powers, thanks for the support. I'm going to start thanking people for their votes now, instead of waiting until later. Private Butcher 18:09, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Goodbye Shauri, read my userpage, I might get blocked, I'm sorry. Private Butcher 19:44, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm not back yet I'm here right now. I won't be coming back for awhile. You want a timeframe of when I'll be back? When I become an admin there, then I will return here. Thank you for caring about me, I care about you as well, so if you ever need anyone to talk to, talk to me where I am now, I'll be back here some day. So I hope you'll talk to me, or I'll miss you. Bye. Private Butcher 22:42, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

I have to say I do care about you a lot for someone I never even met. I hope you do keep talking to me, if you don't want to, then that's okay I guess. I'll just comeback after I do what I wanted to do, and then we'd talk then. Alright now I'm going back to my (meaning the one I'm working on) new wikipedia (try to get people to join the project, so then I could hopefully come back faster), I'll miss you. You've been extremely nice to me, even though you probably should hate me. Thanks, bye. Private Butcher 00:10, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey

Just wanted to say hey. :-) --HappyCamper 14:09, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Exams over - thanks for good wishes!

Hi, Shauri, I just wanted to say thanks. It was really nice to get that message before my last exam. (Actually, I shouldn't have got it until afterwards, because I really did intend not to look at Wikipedia at all, but I found I couldn't stay away, and I made a few – not too many – edits each day!) Anyway, the exams were fine – no nasty surprises! I've seen a few other of your messages recently – to Anittas and Private Butcher – and I just want to say that everything I see makes me even more convinced that you're going to be a great admin! Take care. Ann Heneghan ^(talk) 00:43, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

P.S. it was lovely seeing a little bit of Irish in your first message to me. Where did you learn it?

Bierstar!

Thanks for the frothy refreshingly beverage to quaff, much appreciated. On stubs, it's a bit like the punchline of an old joke, "There certainly were a lot of them." (And still are.) You been creating lots of stubs on the German military, then, or something like that...? Alai 00:58, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Wisely categorised, even? Please, no more flattery, I-- well, OK, if you insist. :) Of course, the even-more-humungous {{US-mil-bio-stubs}}s -- probably upwards of 100 of them still to do, to boot. The category was only just created, so your initial sorting of them was as accurate as it could have been at the time, anyway. Alai 21:36, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Kulturkampf

I really hate to beg for help, but now that Molobo and Space Cadet joined forces in their senseless nationalistic struggles, communicating with each other via email, they start building their hopes on revert wars, knowing two persons can revert twice as often as one. In the article about Bismarck's Kulturkampf, on whose talk page I've been in a long dispute with Molobo, the problem emerged, with Molobo insisting on a ridicously biased version, which of course no article on the Kulturkampf would mirror any longer. As always, discussions with him are fruitless but unlike on Anti-Polonism, for example, a real third party is lacking. I requested page protection yesterday but no one has answered (yet). I'd really wish you could have an eye on the case. I know that I'm asking a lot because Molobo is an extremely annoying interlocutor, but this really can't go on like this. However wrong he is, Space Cadet just supports him with reverts. I've no idea what else I could do there. NightBeAsT 16:43, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

"the problem emerged, with Molobo insisting on a ridicously biased version"Really ? The problem is that the supposed "biased" version is supported by several scholary works, several historians, German articles.All of which you ignored in the talk page when they were given to you.Besides before me other editors like Lysy and others have made contributions to the article and parts of it that you want to erase.--Molobo 16:57, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Yup, you flooded the talk page with cherrypicked sources that usually not even wrote on the Kulturkampf itself but the Polish struggle in the German Empire at that time and interpreted them in the article rather than unbiasedly chosen secondary sources that actually focus on the Kulturkampf. As a result of course it distorted the picture of the Kulturkampf terribly and any reliable source on the Kulturkampf would have quite different picture, but, hey!, twisting history is fun, now don't you think? The sources even have litte to do with what we're discussing right now. And now accusing me of deleting parts of more reliable contributors, when in reality the case is limited to what Witkacy and you added. Twisting the truth must be fun, isn't it? If you don't mind, let's continue this on our talk pages or the article's talk page. My original message here was NOT for you, Molobo. NightBeAsT 17:42, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

"Yup, you flooded the talk page with cherrypicked sources that usually not even wrote on the Kulturkampf itself but" Sorry but you are wrong.All my sources speak of Kulturkampf.\ "As a result of course it distorted the picture of the Kulturkampf terribly " Sorry NB but it is your problem since you can't accept the fact that Kulturkampf had antipolish aspect.Which is confirmed by Bismarck, German historians, German articles, Polish researchers,English researchers that were presented.Your insistance in face of overwhelming number of sources is... well quite surprising. " My original message here was NOT for you, Molobo." As it was about me I feel I have the right to react. --Molobo 18:06, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Bolshevik

Shauri the usage of term Bolshevik Russia is quite normal in the context of 1920 war(because of the civil war in the Russia between the Bolshevik Party and Whites).If you don't believe me you can ask Piotrus. Or check the sources : http://home.golden.net/~medals/1918-1921war.html The Battle of Warsaw, 1920. Between the 13th and 16th of August, 1920, a battle raged in and around Warsaw between Polish and Bolshevik forces.

Your hug

I must admit that I'm not much of a hugger (the Crane brothers struck a chord with me when they referred to their mother saying: "A handshake's as good as a hug"), but your message cheered me up no end.

Back

I'm back, or as back as I'll be for awhile, I'm getting back to my "roots" as in like the music articles. Like I used to, I got back the inspiration from simple english wikipedia. Now I'm going to be a better editor, a lot better. Thanks a lot for all you've done for me. Talk to you later. Private Butcher 21:06, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Do we really want this?!

My dear friend and fellow Wikipedian,

A proposal has been made here which could effect the way all featured articles, and perhaps even eventually all articles, are handled in the future. While it has the well-meaning intention of addressing some real problems, if it is adapted, I fear it will actually create more problems and possibly destroy the wonderfully open and collaborative nature of the Wikipedia we all so love.

I therefore, strongly urge you to join us who OPPOSE this potentially dangerous proposal. Thank you for your time, thoughts and words.--R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 07:59, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Bounty Board

Greetings. You've recently been involved with working on get articles up to featured status, so I wanted to let you know about a new page, Wikipedia:Bounty board. People have put up monetary bounties for certain articles reaching featured status - if the article makes it, the bounty lister donates the stated amount of money to the Wikimedia Foundation. So you can work on making articles featured, and donate other people's money at the same time. If this sounds interesting, I hope you stop by. – Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 13:37, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Information on German atrocities

The information of atrocities committed by German divisions is easly found in two history books I provided as sources.They certainly aren't personal blogs as you claimed.I haven't encountered any historians who dispute their contents so the claims that they are disputed as sources seem unfounded. --Molobo 16:20, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Querido/a Shauri, while I agree that Molobo's edits might be controversial at times, this particular case is rather well-sourced. I believe you should at least state your claims and provide sources at the relevant talk page instead of simply reverting without any explanation. BTW, if you feel the need to contact me in person rather than at the Talk:German 4th Panzer Division, be advised that I do speak Spanish.

By the time I'm re-posting the paragraph on German war crimes there and I inist on letting it stay there until you provide some arguments. Hope you find such a solution comfortable. Halibutt 06:39, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Mediation Cabal/The Andy Griffith Show

Thanks for your response. I hope this is where you want me to contact you. I am assuming you have viewed the different versions of the page from this past month. The basic problem on this page began in early October. Hackwrench felt it was necessary to edit this page to include a very long, somewhat rambling section about the morally questionable nature of the old television show. This seems to be based on his own personal opinion about the program and not on any outside source, at least none that he has provided. In addition he seems to believe that NPOV means every possible POV must be represented. My understanding of NPOV is what most people would agree are the facts about something, with a minimum of subjective information. Inclusion of differing points of view would be appropriate when there is a notable controversy about a subject. I am unaware of this show being controversial and there have been no citiations offered to support this. I have agreed there are many dated ideas expressed on the show, but that is true of almost any old television program. I would think that an entry of this type should be concise and factual. This has been reverted back and forth an absurd number of times over the last month. Also, the talk page for the article has been clogged with an extreme amount of discussion about this that has led nowhere. There are other issues I could touch on but you did ask for me to be brief so I will stop here. I look forward to hearing from you.Ee60640 17:59, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Again Shauri

You deleted information on persecution of Poles in History of Germany. Again no reasons given, at the same time ignoring all the sources and examples given on the talk page.---Molobo 11:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment: It probably has a lot to do with the quality of the sources you tend to use (such as sites with black backgrounds and skulls), and the logical fallacy guilt by association you attack her with when you argue.--Wiglaf 12:01, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

My what an intelligent arguement Wiglaf.Have you spoted that i used two Polish books, as to the skulls its an emblem of many German formations.Furthemore I expect you to fianlly come up with intelligent argument on policy I broke that led to your block. --Molobo 12:10, 1 November 2005 (UTC) and the logical fallacy guilt by association you attack her with when you argue Please refrain from your personal attacks, however are you suggesting that Shauri is guided rather by emotions then interest in history ? I suggest that we stick on topic.Below are two scholary books which provide enough information to justify the mentioning of persecution of Poles in Bismarck Age.Shauri didn't give reason for the revert, neither did she comment on talk page. --Molobo 12:16, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't expect to get this through to you so I won't say it again: to give you time to read up on Wikipedia:Civility and Wikipedia:Verifiability. If this discussion has led you to be a more reliable contributor, you should thank Shauri.--Wiglaf 12:17, 1 November 2005 (UTC) Sorry but this policy doesn't allow for blocks.The contributions were posted long before Shauri started deleting not only German atrocities but information on persecution of Poles in Prussia.

--Molobo 12:26, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

If Shauri or I would wish to get back to you, we will do so on your own talkpage. Thank you very much.--Wiglaf 12:22, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Why are you speaking for both of you ? Furthemore as Shauri engages in deletion of information that is well sourced without any explanation I feel it needs to talked over. --Molobo 12:26, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

I strongly suggest that you read through what I have written above and think about it thoroughly for a few days. Bye,--Wiglaf 12:41, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Cut text inserted here by Molobo and moved it to the Article's Talk Page.

Hello Shauri. I have been reading back on some of your and Wiglaf discussions with Molobo. I admit I had no time to raad them all, and I may be missing some important stuff in the beginning, but in the last part (regsarding the 4th Panzer Divison) I think that Molobo has provided sources, defended them and acted with reasonable civility then he was afforded. I'd strongly suggest for all involved users to forget about past personal attacks and try a fresh look at this discussion. I think that both sides are suffering from some early misunderstanding, and if you could just get over it you would find out that Molobo is in fact a fairly reasonable editor. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 04:48, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

I am amazed that someone can call what he wrote "reasonable civility". When faced with his lies, he pleaded the stupidity card by saying that he could not understand. I have never in all my time on Wikipedia, and in any of my troll fights met anyone so obstructive. Thank you for your opinion.--Wiglaf 05:51, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Big hug!

Hi Shauri. I've being meaning to get back to you for a while but never got round to it (cue believable excuses stage left). I just wanted to say thanks for the smiley :-) as I recall it gave me a big boost that day. Cheers Craigy (talk) 14:39, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

4th Panzer Division

Shauri, thanks for your kind words at the talk page there. Indeed, Molobo has his ways and he is a prime example of a hot-headed wikipedian. However, contrary to what many people assume, he is really communicative and quite helpful if only handled properly, to put it that way. His problem is, IMHO, that he usually gets involved in topics extremely popular among other hot-headed wikipedians, where he is often outnumbered. And that's when he usually gets carried away. Yet, cool-headed wikipedians who stumble upon his contributions usually notice only his edits and not the malicious behaviour of his adversaries, which causes even stronger reaction by Molobo. And that's how he lands in a vicious circle.

However, as you can see such a vicious circle can easily be broken if only people treat him seriously and politely. Note that on that page the revert war was stopped unilaterally by Molobo and not the ones who opposed him.

Anyway, take care and hope to meet you some day on some other talk page. :) Halibutt 15:12, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, the revert war stopped when I said that the only solution to his incommunicative behaviour was to revert him on sight.--Wiglaf 14:43, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Wikibreak

Hey. Just saw this. Don't know the circumstances, but do take care, and come back if you can. You're simply awesome. :) encephalon 22:19, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Hello, Shauri. Whatever has happened, I'm really sorry. Since we don't edit the same pages, I don't know what has caused this wikistress, but your userpage is on my watchlist, so I've just seen that you're intending to take a break as a result of wikistress. Please don't make it permanent! You're one of the very nicest people I've met on Wikipedia, and Wikipedia will be a worse place without you. I hate begging people not to go when something has upset them — as if I'm selfishly putting my own wishes before what's best for the other person. But maybe you could just make occasional small edits until whatever it is has blown over. We really need to keep the Wikipedians who are nice to the other Wikipedians, and you'd probably get first prize for that! Please don't stay away for long! Ann Heneghan ^(talk) 23:26, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

I second what Ann said; you have got to be one of, if not the, nicest users I've met on Wikipedia. Enjoy your break, but don't leave for too long! Regards, Robert ^{T | @ | C} 04:53, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Ditto, have a relaxing break and I'll look forward to seeing you (or at least your edits) when you return. Leithp 08:19, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Ditto to everything said above. I wholeheartedly will miss your presence here, so I hope you get back soon!! Wikipedia needs individuals like you to shine a great deal of happiness into this place :-) Take care. SoLando (Talk) 09:32, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Oh, Shauri, I hope that you won't be away for too long. Seriously, I haven't met a kinder Wikipedian in all the time I've been here. I find that Wikibreaks work wonders for stress: enjoy your time off, and I hope you can return soon. Hugs!! Bratsche^{talk | Esperanza} 02:11, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Even though we have never met, I've seen what a positive difference you have made to wikipedia. You are really kind, it would be a huge shame to lose such an editor. So ditto, and ditto to the above dittos. Enjoy you break, but please dont be too long! All the best Banes 14:04, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Peace. KHM03 12:49, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Hugs

Seems like you're the one who needs a hug now; have a big one from me. -- Essjay · Talk 21:01, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

I'll give you a hug as well {mines bigger than Essjay's (that sounds obscene)}, I'm going to be gone as well but I'll miss you. Private Butcher 19:45, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

To My Muse

My Darling Shauri, I hope you find your "Wiki-Muse" again and return soon. Because without you here I sorely miss mine. Your lonely Ghost :<

Best wishes

Hi, Shauri. You probably don't know me, but I've seen you numerous times and was impressed by how kind and considerate you were. It breaks my heart to hear that recent events have gotten you down. I'm only a concerned stranger, but I wish you the very best. And no matter how things are, just remember that Wikipedia loves you too. :) Regards, Sango123 (talk) 04:27, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Love

L'amour n'a pas de frontiere. Restes car je t'aime comme tu es. J'ai traverse I'ocean du verbe. Et je t'ai trouvè...You were very kind to me when you reverted vadalism on the Mariposa War, and when you took my request to Journalist and blocked that vandal. It's always a bright and happy day when a stranger exhibits the kindness that you've shown me. This is the best way I can repay you for your kindness. So please come back. Here's a joke to make ya smile. (I hope)

Thanks for supporting my RfA

I know I've been slow in saying this, but thanks for supporting my request for adminship. It was an honor to be both nominated and approved as an admin. If there is ever any adminish (is that a word :-) things you need help with, please let me know. --Alabamaboy 16:41, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

New Beginning

To my dearest Wiki-friend and Muse, I Missed You mightily! Here's to new starts, MEGA-WIKI-RETURN *HUGS*--R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 05:34, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Here's to nude errr NEW beginnings;> You are so welcomed back, my Muse! Forever your Ghosty

Your sig is b0rken

Greetings.

The following information was gleaned from the #wikipedia IRC channel:

The wiki servers used to have a script that ran on those servers. The script was named "tidy". The purpose of the script was to close any open HTML tags and remove any extraneous closed HTML tags. Today, the wikipedia server admins discovered that the "tidy" script was causing the servers to bog down and eventually crash. In order to improve server performance, the "tidy" script was taken offline.

The consequence of not having "tidy" around is that any improperly formatted HTML that would have gone unnoticed prior to this afternoon (since it would have automatically been cleaned up by the "tidy" program) is now quite visible and, in many cases, causing entire pages (or chunks thereof) to turn green or blue or be rendered in barely visible font sizes, and so on.

I regret to inform you that your sig appears to contain some open tags that aren't closed, and is thus causing some of the problems I mention above. Specifically, your signature is missing the tag which I have highlighted below:

'''<font color="green">[[User:Shauri|Sh]]</font>'''[[Wikipedia:Esperanza|'''<span style="color:light blue;">a</span>''']]'''<font color="green">[[User:Shauri|uri]]</font>''' [[Image:Heart.gif|11px]] <small><font color="peach">[[User_talk:Shauri|smile!]]</font></small> <font color="black"><small>''20:35, 28 October 2005 (UTC)''</font></small>

You should also reverse the order of the final </font> and </small>tags, as the </font> tag is showing up as a literal string.

Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. → Ξxtreme Unction {^yakł_blah} 23:59, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

RfA

Hi there, Shauri. I thought I might leave you a notice here that there is my RfA process going on and I would be really grateful if you found some time to cast your vote. be it in favour or against my nomination, all the same. What matters is the comforting thought that people do care enough to cast their vote. Take care, Halibutt 03:08, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your support for my adminship, but also for the kind words you commented with. Being called well-mannered and collaborative editor by someone as well-mannered and collaborative as you is twice as comforting and four times as nobilitating. Cheers! Halibutt 22:59, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Mendocino War

I just noticed that you were intrested in the Mendocino War and Mariposa War, I've expanded the Mariposa article as much as I think it can be. The Mendocino War is proving to be more difficult: I was wondering if you had any info on it because it hasn't had content added to it in a while, and I do not know as much about it as I do the Mariposa War. Thanks for your time and information! (If you have any that is lol) :-D KnowledgeOfSelf | talk. 05:21, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi Shauri

Wiglaf has accused me of : "you appear to fail to keep your promises, such as the promise to Shauri that you would apologize to her for your attack with guilt by association" Here[1] However you left then, and I received no word from you. If you feel that my judgment of your position was incorrect and you didn't suport Cadorna, you have my apologies. --Molobo 15:36, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Precious wikilove

Welcome back, Shauri :) It cheered me up to see you spreading your much needed wikilove on RfA today. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 20:38, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Greetings

We have not interacted much, but you struck me as a reasonable editor (besides, so many people seem to like you that this has to count for something :>). Therefore I'd appreciate it if you could describe to me the 'bad blood' between you and Molobo. As I have stated in several places, I have not followed Molobo's edits closely, and I don't approve with all of those I have seen, but his conduct on the 4th Division didn't look to me like 'trolling' - far from it, I think he has acted in good faith and conduct there. Yet apparently Molobo has crossed several (at least) editors, and I understand you have often been in the camp 'opposing' his edits. As I don't think Molobo is 'evil incarnate' as some people assume, I would like to see if there is any possibility of mediation in this case - but for this I must understand the POVs of both sides.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 23:02, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Rumours......

Is it true that your wikibreak was so you could get married? I'm curious.... Spawn Man 03:38, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

No.--Wiglaf 07:22, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

I would appreciate if Shauri answered, as I heard it from somewhere & it may be true. So only she may know truly.... I don't believe it but some people do... Thanks Spawn Man 03:42, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Cite sources, or begone.--Wiglaf 07:12, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I confess...Shauri got married to Wiglaf and myself. They have taken up residence in a fortress on a secret, volcano island somewhere in the Pacific. I will join them there as soon as I perfect our Doomesday Device (tm), with which we plan to blackmail the world and change the global order more to our liking. But please keep it quiet...k? Shhhh! --R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 08:38, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Lol. Well, Shauri and Wiglaf are intending to get married, but not yet ;-).--Wiglaf 08:53, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Arbitration

Hi. I cited one of your edits as evidence in Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Pigsonthewing/Evidence and wanted to be up front about 'accusing' you of repeating a false claim about another user. I think this was an understandable mistake and do not fault you, but I thought the point needed to be made to show why the user might be untrusting of admins. Sorry. In general I think you're great, so this kinda blows. :( --CBD ^T _C ^@ 01:16, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Citing it under abuse and harassment is quite below the belt, especially when you know it was a mistake, and I resent that kind of categorization.--Wiglaf 09:22, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Oi! I wasn't trying to suggest that Shauri (or 'Who') had engaged in abuse and harassment... rather that when Karmafist DID they took his word over that of his victim that the action was justified by a 3RR violation - which didn't actually exist. Which is relevant because so much has been made of the user's 'unwillingness to work with the process'. I included a disclaimer on the evidence page about this being an easy mistake to make. How do you suggest I present this to avoid the appearance of 'below the belt categorization'? --CBD ^T _C ^@ 10:50, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

On Shauri's line, you could perhaps add that it was done in good faith.--Wiglaf 11:06, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

From a fellow admin, and a friend

Dear Shauri, I was alarmed for a moment when my watchlist showed that you were putting a "partial absence notice" on your user page, but when I read it, I relaxed. You're not leaving: you're just busy. So, I hope all is well with you in the real world, outside of Wikipedia. I really came to your page to thank you for supporting my RfA (which of course I knew you would do). But, even more, thanks for all the wiki-love you spread, and thanks for being a friend. Don't stay away for too long! AnnH ^(talk) 23:00, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Gone again?

Hi Shauri, I see you've gone on partial leave (looks like it took me a while to figure that out :)). I just wanted to stop by and wish you luck with whatever your work may throw at you, and I hope all is well in real life. Like Ann said above, I hope you aren't gone for too long; it's always a pleasure to see you around Wikipedia, and it has always brightened my day when I receive a message from you. Please come back soon! Robert ^{T | @ | C} 04:06, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Restoring message (just in case)

Hi, Shauri, there was an unsigned message sent to your talk page a few minutes ago by User:70.31.153.215. The text was as follows:

Hi, Shauri, im sry to this guy im editing but WUT IS WRONG WITH U HAPPY CAMPER!! u deleted my thing for kevin hung

It was placed in the section Exams over - thanks for good wishes! and entirely wiped out my post! I rolled it back, since it had deleted my message, but then it occurred to me that I should at least leave it for you to read. So I've just given you the text of it down at this part of the page. Do hurry back, as we miss you! AnnH ^(talk) 23:53, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
