Hey, I'm an outside observer on this and not involved in this current revert war going on at Snakes on a Plane, but I really woudl appreciate it if you reconsidered your decision not to fully-protect it. Take a look at the history [1]. 3RR has been completely demolished by pretty much everyone on there and civility has gone to the crapper. There's at least 75 edits involved in this war and that's since 8 hours ago. I really think it should be reconsidered. Thanks, Metros23220:42, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Don't suppose you have had a chance to review this request for un-protection. We have lot's o' people monitoring article for vandals at this point. BTW thanks for your vote of confidence in speedy keep. Hackajar21:53, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for responding to Raccoon Fox on my talk page - we edit conflicted, actually. It's very touching to see that even on Wikipedia you keep an eye on me. :) Srose(talk)21:42, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So I wrote a stub two days ago, right, and look what happens: [4]. An IP comes along and writes a whole praiseful thing. So I check out who it is [5] - guess what, it's the state of Nebraska... These people just - don't - learn!! - CrazyRussiantalk/email19:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Pierre Fitch. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, your reasons on how or why you did so will be greatly appreciated in the above review.
I I feel truly humbled & honored by your support in my RfA, which closed at 90 / 5 / 0. Thank you! If you need me for anything, just say the word. For now however, just like Mr Potter here:
Thanks so much for your support on my RFA, which closed successfully this morning with a result of (64/3/3). I will be stepping lightly at first trying to make sure I don't mess up too badly using the tools. Any further advice/guidance will be gratefully accepted. I hope I will live up to your trust!

Can you help me? Need advocacy against troublesome user.
Cutting to the chase, I found this on my usertalk page.[6]
{{sockpuppet|Guerillafilm}}
The history of my userpage indicates editor w/handle chocolateboy is author of nasty gram.
Looking 4 advocacy from administrator. Saw you were admin involved in most recent dispute on SoaP article.
Please, would you delete the warning from my page since it is untrue/frivilous. Why was it placed on there? Banner came out of nowhere.
My field of studies is w/snakes and anthropology of snakes. Been trying to meaningfully edit the SoaP article and other snake related Wikipedia pages. My guess, after consulting SoaP history, is that chocolateboy trying to drag me into feud he's having w/ other editors.
Also:
alternative explanation#1>> chocolateboy mistakingly believes I'm sockpuppeting/meatpuppeting other users because my edit history clashes w/his edit history.
Alternative explanation#2>> User with handle Guerillafilm is accusing me of impersonating him/plagarizing his contribs.
Alternative explanation#3>> chocolateboy is engaging in page ownership behavior. Our contributions have clashed few times this week. I've been using discussion page to resolve disputes w/others. I have been getting along with other editors. Although, despite good faith efforts to work with other editors, chocolateboy is only user reverting my changes w/o explanation, then places banner/nasty gram on my usertalk.
Source of irritation>> Utilization of the words "meatpuppet" or "sockpuppet often carry a negative meaning; those utilizing the term should take care that it can be backed up and isn't frivolous.
Well aware of an edit war between editors on Soap article. Just b/c I agree w/ contribs 'of some' and not contribs 'of others' does not mean I am sockpuppet/impersonator/meatpuppet of 'the some' against 'the others.'
Two desired outcomes>> #1 Removal of the frivolous warning from my usertalk page. #2 Warning against chocolateboy for frivolous behavior.
Thank you for your support of my RfA, which has passed with a final tally of 76/1/1. With this overwhelming show of support and approval I am honored to serve Wikipedia in the task charged to me and as outlined in my nomination. Happy editing to you! Teke (talk)17:42, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I was actively editing the entry for Farpoint Media when you deleted it, I am a new user and still trying to learn how entries should look.
Hey man. I just wanted to take the time to apologize to you for any comments I may have said in the CVU discussion which were wholly out of line and may have been offensive to you. That was not my intent, but in retrospect, I can see that I made some pretty cheap rhetorical jabs that I shouldn't have. So please accept my sincerest apologies to you for anything I've said or done that you may deem to have been inappropriate. Dr Chatterjee05:17, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't get the move of the Wiki defcon. Can't it be sprotected instead? Is moving it really going to deter vandals, anyway? The German solution doesn't apply here, I don't think. Anyway it's no good if you can't see the various styles on the talk page. Herostratus16:50, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for reverting vandalism on my user page, but that was not vandalism. Someone was adding their name to my Friend List, so please see if something is really vandalism before you revert it. Thanks! Reywas9200:01, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there. Where is policy on page protection discussed? I think it's crazy that page protection on a page like Dog is considered more important than protection on the page of a living billionaire once described by Vanity Fair as the most litigious man in Britain. Do you agree that the potential financial risk to Wikipedia is greater from defaming the latter than the reputation risk due to some misinformation about dogs?

My ones aren't at all shiny — they're just like all the rest! I was actually slightly disappointed when I saw them for the first time, accidentally reverted something and blocked myself by mistake. (I have to confess that I did then unblock myself, and got away with it...) I hope you are well, and good studying.:) Tyrenius00:27, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you kindly for the offer. I don't feel ready to be considered for nomination at this time, but I appreciate the vote of confidence. Regards. --Muchness05:10, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"Terrorist" in the title of Richard Snell was my addition because the article said so. I have no idea who this person is but seemed a real guy from googling. I created it only because someone else added its contents to the article about the cricketer Snell. Tintin (talk) 14:46, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Yanksox, for your support at my RfA, which finished with a tally of 94/1/0. I certainly hope my admin activities will be a good thing and I live up to the confidence you have shown in me in my activities as an administrator. JPD (talk) 16:27, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've listed this article at deletion review (separate from the others). There were two previous deletion debates where this article was kept which weren't mentioned on the AFD. Were you aware of these? the wub"?!"12:11, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, damn. Thank you for noticing; my watch is wrong. I'll let it stand, as it seems exceedingly unlikely that the outcome will change in a day ... unless anyone has a strong issue with this, in which case I'll reopen it for a while. — Dan | talk22:27, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know whether it will actually work, but either way thank you very much for the help on the administrators' noticeboard regarding getting a decent username. 84.9.83.10522:49, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about that - it's probably the same thing that makes smokers that have given up some of the most annoying anti-smoking zealots that exist ;) 84.9.83.10523:27, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Congrats! Contralulations on going to college! I'm a freshmane too (in high school). And thanks for the small favor that I asked.--EdtalkcE03:06, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
While I don't disagree with your unprotection, if you're going to do that, you can't just unprotect it. You should have deleted Mark Wahlberg, moved Mark Wahlberg/temp to Mark Wahlberg, and then undeleted all necessary revisions. I've already fixed it; just for the future, make sure to keep the history intact. Ral315 (talk) 13:27, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I should start a forward service on the PO Box. Anyhoo, check your gmail, and you need to archive this page. My poor little computer commits suicide every time I try to get to the bottom. :P Hope to hear from you soon & hope you're having a fantastic day! Srose(talk)19:14, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Great master, I believe it may soon be time to make your first announcement to your honourable followers. If you are in need of me to deliver your words of wisdom to the people, or need assistance in composing your message, please don't hesitate to ask. Please, take as much time as you need. :) --Andeh22:47, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
