:::My mistake. [[User:Karrmann|Karrmann]] 01:21, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:::Phaedriel declined not long ago if I recall because she hasn't been here long enough... Just a thought... [[User:Spawn Man|Spawn Man]] 04:35, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

::::I would agree with the idea of her being nommed for admin because (IMO) there should be more admins like her. However, that's not something I'd do myself (I think too many questions would be asked if I were to nom someone). But I agree with Lar's comments..and I'm editing my own comments way too much :P —&nbsp;[[User:nathanrdotcom|<span style="color:#3971DE">'''Natha'''</span>]][[User:ILovePlankton/My loyalties to my friends|<span style="color:#336666">'''n'''</span>]] ^{([[User talk:nathanrdotcom|<span style="color:#3971DE">'''talk'''</span>]])} 05:25, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

There is a very long list of people who have wanted to nom Phaedriel for admin, if you search in her talk page archives you'll find all of them... It is my view that adminship changes one's WP persona a bit, I would not be in a rush to wish the mop on our dear Phaedriel... SushiGeek, if I may suggest, going forward you may want to sound the candidate out first before potentially putting the candidate "on the spot" as it were. '''<font color="green">[[User:Lar/Esperanza|+]]</font>[[Special:Emailuser/Lar|+]]'''[[User:Lar|Lar]]: [[User_talk:Lar|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Lar|c]] 04:55, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

* Sure, the mop is a key part of adminship, but in my experience, people look up to administrators. So it's also about setting a good example and helping guide this site's future; two things that Phaedriel also does really well. &mdash; '''[[User:Deckiller|Deckill]][[User:Deckiller/EA|<font color="green">e</font>]][[User talk:Deckiller|r]]''' 05:17, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

**But you '''don't need''' the mop for those things, you don't need it to be kind, or to be respected, or to speak wisely about how things ought to go. I may not have been very clear... adminship often changes people, at least a little, especially if they've not been admins elsewhere, and not necessarily for the better. Further, it changes what others expect of people. Admins get asked to do things they may not wish to do, unfun things, tedious things... It also cuts into what they have time to edit, see [[m:namespace shift]] for thoughts on how your editing goes down. I don't think we should try to chivvy Phaedriel into being an admin if she doesn't want it (which she may or may not, but I suspect she, at least currently, does not). '''<font color="green">[[User:Lar/Esperanza|+]]</font>[[Special:Emailuser/Lar|+]]'''[[User:Lar|Lar]]: [[User_talk:Lar|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Lar|c]] 05:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

* From my experience, becoming an admin makes you become paranoid about trying to fix all of WP's problems and you then stop writing any articles. I haven't written or expanded anything in the last month. '''[[User:Blnguyen|Blnguyen]]''' | [[User talk:Blnguyen|rant-line]] 05:23, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

::I echo Blnguyen's sentiments. Do think through whether you want to be a sysop or accept someone's nomination of you. It might change your personality and outlook towards Wikipedia in unexpected, non-positive ways. [[User:Kimchi.sg|Kimchi.sg]] 14:38, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:Can we all co-nominate? I already thought she was one oO '''[[User:Sceptre|Will]]''' ([[User_talk:Sceptre|message me!]]) 18:50, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:When I saw this, I said: what are they, crazy? She already is one. Then I checked [[WP:LA]] and to my surprise, you aren't. I can't imagine a non-admin who has shown the community that he/she can be trusted with the mop more than you. [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Phaedriel]] is now on my watchlist, so I hope I can be one of the first 10 supporters, but if I am away from wikipedia for a few hours when it becomes active, I will probably not be in the first 100. --[[User:Rogerd|rogerd]] 21:34, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

: I was also under the impression that you are already an admin. When you are nominated, I wouldn't be surprised if you set a record for highest number of support votes. <b>[[User:Ohnoitsjamie|OhNo<font color="#D47C14">itsJamie</font>]] [[User talk:Ohnoitsjamie|^Talk]]</b> 22:25, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

=== Overwhelmed! ===

My dear friends Sushi, Dakota, Karrman, Lar, Bln, Tyler, Spawn babe, Nathan and Kimchi - thanks to all of you for even thinking me worthy of the buttons. To be completely honest, I've been asked about the issue many times in the last days only, and while deep down I hold no fears of the mop changing my personality, I am in two minds; a part of me feels I'm ready, while the other suggests me to wait a little longer. If you don't mind, I would like to give it a deeper thought for a few days, and in the meantime do many things I've been planning for some time (creating an Indigenous Resources Portal and, if possible, raising it to Featured standards; making the first issue of a Newsletter for Wikiproject Indigenous Peoples of North America, and creating a number of articles I've been drafting offline). I insist that I'm overwhelmed by your kindness, everybody - those of you who know me are aware that I feel uncomfortable when publicly given any sort of recognition for my modest work. But please, let's be patient - I'll let you all know my decision in a week or so. Deal, my friends? :) Big hugs to all of you!

:Ok, we'll be patient and wait until the biggest RfA support voting landslide in the history of Wikipedia :) &mdash; '''[[User:Deckiller|Deckill]][[User:Deckiller/EA|<font color="green">e</font>]][[User talk:Deckiller|r]]''' 18:16, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

*I'd wait...there is no hurry. I would personally prefer to see you concentrate on Native American projects, than get bottled up dealing with trolls. However, if you decide to run, my vote will of course be '''Support'''. Best wishes, --[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 22:15, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I won't put any pressure on you, Phaedriel, but although I haven't yet had time to answer your kind message, I'll cetainly have time to give you a '''strong support''' when you do feel ready to go forward. In fact, I'd even come back for that if I were on a wiki-break! I'm sure you'll be a great admin. [[User:Musical Linguist|AnnH]] [[User talk:Musical Linguist|<b><font size="3">♫</font></b>]] 08:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

:100% with AnnH. If you won't to go for it Phaedriel, I'll support you all the way! If you don't we'll all still be happy. The important thing is that '''you''' feel it's right.

Hello Sharon, a ton of thanks for the chocolates - I know you responded late as you were searching the best stuff for me. Thanks. You have told so many things about me - am I worthy of such praises? We all are here with a single mission - to build and continue to build and to keep the Project up-dated. BTW, the chocolates were sweet, but your words are sweeter: yes, a grain of kindness is all it takes to turn thorns into flowers! Great words indeed.

== Adminship ==

I'm painfully aware of the need for more wikilove among editors and I believe in the Sanskrit adage, ''"Yatha Raja, Tatha praja"'' meaning "As the king, so the people." OK, admins are more janitors than kings but the drift is that they are the ones people look up to on WP. It is essential that people look up to the right model of behavior and I believe from the limited observation I had of you that you fit the bill to a T. Don't look at adminship as either a recognition or a burden - look at it as something that enables you to reach people more effectively. I ran into your userpage a fortnight back, had a look at your contribs and was wondering if I should offer to nominate you as I am on the lookout for nominating more model wikipedians after my successful nominations of [[User:Redvers]] and [[User:Ganeshk]]. I see that I have beaten fair and square by so many editors in the last 5 days. Not to sway you, but I feel that you shd go for adminship. Cheers, --[[User:Gurubrahma|Gurubrahma]] 18:33, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I know much of the hardships of life, and I wish you and all that are involved the best of luck, health and fortune. As for the comments I made in the rfa, all of them have been proven again by your most recent message to me. I am proud to call you my friend, and I am adding you under my friends list on my user page. Phaedriel, I want you to now that your kind refusal of the rfa has instilled in me the most awestruck emotion. I feel that way because I know that you could become an admin in a second, yet you hace declined because you feel that your personal life may affect your work, once again putting the good of wikipedia before your status on wikipedia.

Dear Sharon-<br/>

Thank you so much for the honor of your "Today's Star" award. I look at the others that you have named, and I feel humbled to be listed with them. Your kindness and wisdom is an inspiration to me and many others. Thanks again for all you do on this project, and thanks for what you do in real life. I know that is one of the toughest jobs to do, and the fact that you come to wikipedia with such good humor and kindness speaks highly of your character. I see that [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Phaedriel|your RfA]] is active, and that four of us have put the cart before the horse by showing our support before you have accepted the nom.

Dear Phaedriel (I am allowed to address you somewhat close to the same sweet way you address everybody else, right?), I must share with you that your support in my recent [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/theProject|RfA]] has meant the most to me as an RfA candidate, along with that of anybody else who didn't know me that well on-wiki but nevertheless took the time to review my contributions and strengths and weaknesses as a candidate. The fact that you were willing to do this has made your support all the more valuable in my mind.

Please let me know at my [[User talk:TheProject|talk page]] any time if I can help you with any admin-related tasks (although to be fair, I'm quite sure I'll be finding your name on RfA soon enough, if you're willing), or if you have any comments on how I'm doing as an admin.

:Phaedriel...I am still working on clearing up that oversized category and have created a lot more sub-categories. What help I really need at the moment is for someone to go through the "U" section of that category and clean out all of the actual user pages that are in there because of templates that don't have the category wrapped in the noinclude tag. Those templates need to be found and fixed. I only have dial-up, so if a person has more than say 15 to 30 userboxes on the user page, it would be almost impossible for me to find the errant box quickly. If you could do that for me or point someone else in my direction who would be willing to do it, I would appreciate it greatly!<br/>&#151;<i>[[User:Lady Aleena|Lady Aleena]]</i> <span style="font-size:7pt;vertical-align:super;">[[User talk:Lady Aleena|talk]]</span>/<span style="font-size:7pt;vertical-align:sub;">[[Special:Contributions/Lady_Aleena|contribs]]</span> 19:29, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

== Dear anonymous: ==

I would have normally posted this at your talk page, but since you appear to be using a dynamic IP address, I can't be sure if you'll read it anywhere but here. I have no idea what I have done to anger you so much, but I would have preferred if you contacted me to discuss whatever problems you might have with me. I can stand many, many things, and I have withstood all sorts of childish personal attacks in my time in WP; but to be accused of being a betrayer to my race, and to those things I deeply believe in, goes far beyond what I consider acceptable. Now, if you were simply the usual ocasional anonymous vandal, I wouldn't care - but you seem to be too well informed about my background and my contributions for that. Frankly, if you wanted to bring me down, news for you - you failed, because I can recognize the words of an Indigenous brother or sister when I see them, and hardly would one make a judgement like the one you just did. If you simply have a problem with El C or someone else I tried to cheer up, then why don't you just go ahead and say it. Furthermore, I invite you to discuss it privately with me. But whatever you do, please stop leaving the same message over and over in my Talk page - hardly anything positive will be gained from that. Peace be with you, [[User:Phaedriel|<b><font color="#00BB00">Phædriel</font></b>]] <b><font color="#FF0000">♥</font></b> [[User talk:Phaedriel|'''<small><font color="#22AA00">tell me</font></small>''']] - 09:03, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Dear Phaedriel, Firstly, thanks for saving this page, to which I have contributed a lot recently, from vandalism.

Secondly, I refer to some edits made on 2 July ( I think) by a party bearing the number 62.56.98.120. I do not have a user name.

Do you know who this person is and can you help me contact them? Or can you do so? They made an edit that is incorrect, substituting the expression "Dais" for "Base" throughout the article.

I refer you to the discussion page on [[Trooping the Colour]] where I clarify that Saluting Base is the correct term, NOT Saluting "Dais". (I was lucky enough to attend T the C this year and have the programme stating this in black and white.)

Please reply to me at the [[Trooping the Colour]] discussion page.

== What I did on my vacation... ==

Well, after bolting from the Bed & Breakfast we were staying at (because it smelt weird, the woman who ran it was creepy, and you weren't allowed to be in the house between 10 am and 5 pm - thank God she went to see her friend, is all I can say), we drove to [[Canterbury]] in search of a hotel. We finally found a Travel Lodge (which is like a motel) at nearly midnight, and stayed there overnight. The holiday was pretty much normal from there. the next day, we wandered around Canterbury, and found a hotel.

We went to [[Warwick Castle]], [[Herne Bay, Kent|Herne Bay]], [[Hastings]], an absolutely gorgeous town near there called [[Rye, East Sussex|Rye]], another beach, which I believe was called Greatstone, and [[Hampton Court Palace]]. And the weather was ''splendid''! I don't think it ever got below 30 (I forget how to convert to fahrenheit), and it once went up to 39! How are you doing? Planning to go on vacation yourself anytime soon? ;) <tt><font color="#FF00FF">[[User:Sergeant Snopake|Sergeant]]</font> <font color="#3366FF">[[User_talk:Sergeant Snopake|Snopake]]</font></tt> 09:12, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

:Yo! Seeing as you probably know Snopake's my sister (it's become an open secret recently), the above goes for me as well (She could have left me something to tell you >:( LOL). I guess that I can say that it was great getting back down south, because I was born down south, but we moved up to Yorkshire when I was about...4 I think...so it was great to get back to my 'roots'. Also I think you might find it interesting to know that part of the reason we went down there was because we love [[The Flipside of Dominick Hide]], a TV programme in the early 80's, and it was filmed down there (does that make us sad nerds or what?) ;)

:As Snopake says, we've had great weather, so it's wonderful to have some sunshine on my laptop as well! Hope you had a good 4th of July. Apart from working (poor you :p), did you do anything special for it? It must be weird having a day for celebrating independence...

That message was pretty much the best thing I've gotten recently. Regrettably my recent lack of activity comes as the result of a rather strange accident which is taking a while to heal up, rather then temporary stress. I suppose I could be using the time to edit, but im going through my West Wing DVD collection instead, which seems a little less productive, but is endlessly entertaining. I should be returning here shortly, and just wanted to let you know I got your message before too much time had passed and I looked ungrateful.

== Favour ==

Phaedriel,

Hi. My name is [[User:Evan Robidoux|Evan Robidoux]]. I was wondering if you could do me a tiny favour and [[WP:ER|review me]]. For the past few weeks, I have been wondering how I can improve on Wikipedia and I badly need the feedback. Just one thing I'd like you to keep in mind: there was this issue that I had with a vandal ([[User:68.96.23.7]]) that I believed I could help turn into a better user, but ended up failing miserably. I have a bad feeling that it may affect my WikiFuture. Please put this under scrutiny as you review me.

Cheers!

== [[:Category:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America]] ==

Hi Sharon. As promised, I've given your WikiProject's categorisation a spring clean. This involved editing a few templates, removing some mainspace articles from the WikiProject category, assigning all the Project pages and templates I could find to [[:Category:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America]], and creating [[:Category:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America articles]] and [[:Category:Indigenous peoples of North America portal]]. You may or may not want [[:Category:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America participants]], if you do want such a thing all you need to do is add it to your user page templates (see [[:Category:WikiProject The Beatles participants]] for an example). Hope that helps. --[[User:Kingboyk|kingboyk]] 11:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

== Another user we wish would return ==

'''[[User:Abigail-II|Abigail-II]]''' has been gone for two years (long before I ever joined the project), and I just came across her page a month ago. I don't even know what to say about it…sadly, it's more true than it isn't. I don't agree with her logic on all points, but it does make me frustrated when people revert (etc.) completely valid and necessary changes without using the talk pages—now I know that what may be frustrating for onw Wikipedian can be completely maddening for another, so for the larger part, I don't blame her.<br>

Of course, I'm not preaching at you or any other Wikipedian(s), but it makes me sad when people leave the project because of other people.<br>

In closing, I would ask that if you agree with Abigail's reasoning, to add her to the list of Wikipedians that we all wish would come back. —[[User talk:CliffHarris|<span style="font-family:Arial;color:purple;cursor:crosshair;">It's</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/CliffHarris|<span style="font-family:Arial;color:purple;cursor:crosshair;">Th</span>]][[User:CliffHarris/Esperanza|<span style="font-family:Arial;color:green;cursor:crosshair;">'''''e'''''</span>]] [[User:CliffHarris|<span style="font-family:Arial;color:purple;cursor:crosshair;">Cliff</span>]][[Special:Emailuser/CliffHarris|<span style="font-family:Arial;color:purple;cursor:crosshair;">!</span>]] 19:51, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

==User page gallery help==

Hi! [[User:MONGO]] suggested you were an expert on user-page design, and I was wondering if you could bring your expertise to bear on [[User:Guinnog/gallery]]; there are four images which do not display for me in either Firefox or IE. Any ideas? Thanks in advance if you can help. --[[User:Guinnog|Guinnog]] 12:02, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks a lot for your reply. Your comments are very kind; yes, these are all images I made myself, all the photos were taken by me and all the graphics were drawn by me, from the source materials cited.

:Basically, on my system, in both IE and Firefox, [[:Image:EELightningEastFortuneJM.jpg]], [[:Image:SkaraBraeJM.jpg]], [[:Image:Castrovalleyeaster2004.jpg]], [[:Image:LeithNoEntry.jpg]], [[:Image:LeithBananaFlats.jpg]] and [[:Image:DounreayJM.jpg]] do not display thumbnails but are left as blank cells in the gallery. [[User:CBDunkerson]] suggested it might be to do with a pop-up spam blocker I am running but disabling that doesn't seem to help. I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2, if that helps.

::No, the same six images still do not display even in your sandbox version.

Since I am new to Wiki, I was not aware of the rules as you have now explained them to me. I was also not aware that the community went through a debate regarding this, and would like to view that debate if possible. Is there a place to look where I can find this , and more about the community?

I do appreciate the help, and only posted myself up there as I get a lot of grief about not being on the site from my clients.

Thanks so much for your assistance.

Hi again (I'm filling up this talk page, huh?).

I need to ask your advise on an edit I recently did on the [[United States|U.S.]] article. On the talk page I saw that there were calls to add more to the article about Native Americans, as they only had about one sentence. Seeing as no one else seemed to actually do the work, I decided to take it upon myself. To cut a long story short, would you very much mind taking a look at the section that I started and telling me how good/bad I've done, along with correcting any mistake (though there shouldn't be many, as I borrowed '''heavily''' from the [[Native Americans in the United States]] article.) I know you're quite busy at the moment, so no rush, just take a look when you've got a spare second. Thanks, darling ;)

==My prescription for melancholy==

Hey there; picked up that you're down in spirits...how can this be, ''towagh tenass''? ("little bright one" in [[Chinook Jargon|the jargon]]) You're such a fount of joy and inspiration around here. My tamanassman (medicine man) prescription is that you should drop everything and go find somewhere to immerse yourself in dance, or if you're a musician or singer just go play or sing for a few days. Music hath charms not only to soothe the savage beast but also to lift the spirits of those burdened by the weary world...I don't usually watch Dr. Phil but one day it was on and he had a thing on music education in America; one of his experts said serious scientific studies had shown playing or dancing to music is ''ten times more effective'' in resolving depression (and melancholy) than any [[SSRI]] on the market. As if we needed to be told that, given our instinctive knowledge of what music does for and to us when we experience it; and better from the inside out than just piped in by loudspeaker. Go revel, let the spirits take you and unlock whatever it is inside you that's locked. I know when I'm in a funk - all too often - once I play my guitar or get my booty shaken I'm a lot better for it; unstop the unconscious mind, which is by far the better part of us IMO; and disengage from the huge workload I gather you've assigned for yourself, marvellous though it is.

== Personal Question ==

Hi we haven't met before. I was reading the [[Comanche]] article and stumbled upon your user page in the history. I have a question, at the bottom of the article it says only one percent can speak the language. I was wondering whether you speak it? Have there always been so few Comanches? I mean, when Columbus and his buddies came over here they managed to kill about the entire native population in North and South America, mostly through disease and other unpleasantries. Anyways, I don't think I've seen a person this ''adored'' by so many Wikipedians, and rightfully so. It's too bad you're feeling down. Since it's 12 pm ( I think Oklahoma uses EST or maybe CST), have a good night!

== Thanks for Supporting my RfA! ==

Thank you for supporting my [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/IanManka|RfA]], which (albeit ending about a month ago) passed by a margin of 54/6/1. Now you may be asking yourself why it has taken me [[month|this long]] to thank you for your support. The following factors all attribute to why it has taken me an extremely long time. Firstly, I am hand-crafting each and every one of these thank yous. Secondly, I was intensely following the FIFA World Cup. Lastly, I have been busy with other activities outside of Wikipedia. Sorry for the tardy thank you, and if you ever see me do anything that is not admin-like, please let me know.

:Hi Phaedriel! Seven months, eh? The time sure does fly! Thanks for the congrats! In regards to a possible RfA, I'd certainly be willing to take on a bit of extra responsibility and would welcome a discussion to see if the community would like me to do so. I've actually been wondering the same about you! It's always nice to hear from you and I hope you're having an enjoyable summer!

== Native American topics ==

Good afternoon, Phaedriel (it must be about...*does the maths* 5:40 PM in your part of the world, right?) Thanks for your kind words about my section in the US article, they mean a lot. The choice of pic was simple, btw. Something that showed a native american not as a stereotype, but as a normal human being (the fact that I see it every time I come to your page didn't hurt, I'm sure :D). I have to admit though, the words weren’t all my own, because while I am interested in native American topics, I still don't know very much (so anything you tell me to read I gratefully will. I'm a good student, I promise :) I really got interested about the subject after reader 'Friends of the Wolf', a book by Robert Carse about two [[Penobscot|Penobscots]]. I found it really interesting at the time (stuff like the [[Algonkian]] (the book says Algonkian, but isn't it really Algonquian?) pronunciation of the word English being 'Yengeese', which is how we get the word 'Yankee'!) and I've been looking stuff up on and off since then.

Anyway, I've been rambling on for a while now, so I hope you okay, and I thought I'd tell you that Snopake enjoyed her hug, even if she did just think I was really tired, and was hugging her because I wanted to go back to bed or something before I explained. I'll be on here a while longer, finishing off my userpage renovations (though I should get to bed because we've got a new puppy, and we've got to get up early every morning, but...nah, I'll stay up)

Lots of hugs. [[User:The Halo|Th]][[User:The Halo/Esperanza|<font color="green">ε</font>]][[User:The Halo| Halo]] ^{[[User talk:The Halo|'''Θ''']]} 22:48, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

== Your opinion needed ==

Dear Sharon,

You don't know me, but I think I know you a little bit. I have encountered your username going through various history listings, discussions and user talk pages on WP (I know it's really impolite to read somebody else's correspondence, but I am not accused of politeness too often :p ). I must say I am really impressed with your contirbutions to Wikipedia, and with your unusual kindness and understanding for people. Therefore, I thought you would be the right person to ask for opinion.

I would like to ask for your opinion about an AfD I have filed (or whatever the right name for what I've done is) - [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of automotive flops]]. I have come accross this article while some external site I frequent pointed out to it as an example of why Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information but an arena for some internauts to try to mold reality their way. I was obviously disturbed by that and couldn't agree more with the description of this article, but not the notion of the article, and therefore thought that such an article should be removed not to compromise WP's status.

My main point is that such list is inherently POV, and therefore can't be rectified - you will find my extensive argumentation in the discussion. The AfD has faced stiff opposition from people involved with editing the article, but also some other users. I have found some edits by some of the opposing editors of this article quite POV themselves, or more specifically, not distinguishing between POV and impartial information. I am quite surprised by how different we define POV. Finally, one user left such nice message on my talk page -> [[User talk:Bravada#List of automotive flops AfD]].

This all made me wonder if perhaps I am completely wrong in my understanding of POV and what WikiPpdia should be. Therefore, it is really important to me to find out your opinion on that, as, knowing your extensive Wiki experience, I see you as an authority in these matters. Thanks a lot in advance and sorry for the bother. [[User:Bravada|Bravada]], [[User talk:Bravada|talk]] - 18:40, 16 July 2006 (UTC) ...

:Sharon,

:Thank you so much for your unbelievably prompt response! You make reading your messages absolutely delightful (and I absolutely love to be addressed as "Dear", though probably I think of it differently than you do :D ), which was perhaps another reason why I asked for you opinion I didn't realize :D

:Please excuse me for what might seem as being impatient. I have just seen you got quite many messages following mine and then being aware of the "backlog" message box atop your talk page, I thought you might simply miss my message and then other issues of pressing importance would push it even further away. I was not hoping for such a prompt response, just wanted to make sure you aware of if... oh what a lame explanation! What-EVER!

:Now as concerns the issue - I am happy that I am not the only one who sees the inherent POVness here, but my gripes about that go further. Namely, the definition of the term "commercial failure" is also not very clear. We can go by the definition of "not meeting sales expectations", but then many times exact manufacturers' sales predicitions are not available, and also what is sometimes proclaimed in public is either over- or understated. Then, one can argue that even a vehicle not meeting those is not a failure - e.g. all large and fuel-guzzling vehicles probably didn't meet them during the fuel crises. Would that mean they all belong on that list? (I don't mean either yes or no, I am just pointing out another point for dispute)

:So I am afraid what we are going to have is extensive back-and-forth movement by enthusiasts and non-ethusiasts (how do you call the latter?) of particular vehicles, as well as incompleteness of the list, as nobody in their right mind is going to go through sales projections (which I already mentioned are hardly available) and sales results for all vehicles ever made. So, this list will be an arena for constant bickering between users and a reason to depreciate WP's usefulness as impartial source of information. Who would actually be looking for that kind of info in an encyclopedia? Should we have a "list of singers who sang particularly awful" by the same token?

:I know there is no easy rule as to what belongs in WP and what does. I am just strongly feeling that it does not, as it would keep the door ajar for some even less appropriate inclusions. I am also feeling I expressed myself quite badly here, my thoughts are unfortunately mostly with my hand now, chiefly because it reminds of itself constantly. GOSH IS THIS POST A MESS. What-EVER again!

:Again, thanks an unbelievable lot for your kindness and bearing with me! I wish you all the best in the new week :D [[User:Bravada|Bravada]], [[User talk:Bravada|talk]] - 00:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

== Re: Comanche Language ==

Hi Phaedriel! Don't be sorry about responding late, you can't be blamed for your popularity:P.

I think it's really unfortunate (criminal really) about what has happened to your people and your language. I don't know how much you know about Canada's role with Native Americans (we prefer to call them Aboriginals or just First Nations, so as not to stress the ''American'' part of it I suppose:P), but they were awfully cruel to the people here. To assimilate them, children were put into these "residential schools", usually run by the Catholic Church or a Protestant group, and the children were beaten, and abused in all sorts horrible ways. The last one didn't close until the middle of the 90s!!! Terrible.

Many still live in "Indian Reserves", where things are really horrendous: typhus, other diseases, bad drinking water and bad housing. Canada is ranked somewhere in the top 5 or 10 in living standards in the world, but the Indian Reserves on their own would sadly rank behind at least 75-80 countries. A friend of mine actually lives in one, and he had to come to "the city" because they didn't have a high school there for him to go to. Aboriginals play a key role here, a lot more than in the US because there are a very large minority.I n my own city, 10% of 700,000 are of Aboriginal descent.

However, It is really amazing how you are able to be so kind with everyone in spite of this cruelty, I know I could never do it. You truly are an inspiration.

==GA nomination==

Hi. Our paths cross a 3rd time. I review articles for the Good Article project. Your Comanche article is not near the top yet, but I looked at it anyway as I'm interested in the topic. I'm trying to help, of course. Overall, it's excellent and could become an FA. But first, let's do the GA thing. Only two things leap out at me: 1) the lead, the first para is great, but the 2nd goes off on a tangent of word origin. I'd suggest moving the word origin para into history or something. Then, expand the remaining lead so it summarizes the breadth of the article. 2) while you have a great bibliography, you have no footnotes (inline citations), these are essential for FA and highly recommended for GA. If you need help, let me know. Also let me know when you're done with this and I'll look over the article again. [[User:Rlevse|Rlevse]] 01:51, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Great to see you back Phaedriel, I hope you had a wonderful wikibreak.

I see your tired, so take a quick swig of beer to relax, then hop straight on a hammock!

Speak to you all about your wikibreak soon,

:Hi again. I saw that you were up and about on the wiki, so I thought I'd ask how you are and how your wikibreak went? Did you enjoy yourself, & where did you go? Somewhere nice and sunny hopefully! It's really great to have you back here (it's seemed just a bit more empty the last couple of days), it's been so long since we talked, all the way up <big>'''↑'''</big> there, way back on the 12th! I saw your soundtrack subpage, and both myself and Snopake (she's here with me. We were both really excited to see Men at Work on your list (love that band) ;) think it's a great idea. We'll contribute to it soon, if that's okay. Anyway, talk to you soon I hope. Really great to have you back, Snopake sends her love. *Big welcome back hugs* [[User:The Halo|Th]][[User:The Halo/Esperanza|<font color="green">ε</font>]][[User:The Halo| Halo]] ^{[[User talk:The Halo|'''Θ''']]} 20:39, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Just another note to say it's good to have you back, even a short wikibreak for you seems to stretch on for quite a while for the rest of us! So glad you had some time to yourself... talk to you soon I hope. BTW I love what you did with Jossi's page, it looks really good.

== Update! ==

Hi! Just thought I'd give you an update on my life! I've just been loading some of my favourite songs onto your song page. Quite cool! (Hope you don't mind if I'm a lemming...) I was the first one to use it! Also, I got a second article featured (Velociraptor), & I'm in the proccess of getting a third one featured (Tyrannosaurus).

==External links==

In real life, it's not going quite as well. My mother is going into surgery for possible cancer & our water pipe just burst majorly. It's gonna take a whole heap to fix it & the whole garden is being ripped up. Further, we have to fix it all the way into the gutters because the council passed a law saying the home owner was responsible for it! Apart from that, & exams, everythings okay.
