==Please take a look at [[Controversies over the film Sicko]] and comment on merge proposal==
Hi,
The title says it all. I am requesting your opinion only because you've edited the [[Sicko (film)]] article and therefore appear to have an interest in the movie. I created the "Controversies" article and think it should stay, but I'd welcome your opinion whatever it is. If you consider this message annoying, I apologize. I'm leaving this message with you and some others without violating [[WP:CANVASS]]. I won't be leaving another message asking you to comment again. [[User:Noroton|Noroton]] 23:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
:Sure thing, Noroton. I'll check it out. [[User:Ravanacker|Ravanacker]] | [[User talk:Ravanacker|Talk]] 23:10, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
== Re: Cheers ==
You're very welcome. Happy to help out. Best regards. [[User_talk:Wimt|Will]] <small><font color="red">(aka [[User:Wimt|<font color="red">Wimt</font>]])</font></small> 00:59, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
== Re: Zuffa ==
{{{icon|[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] }}}You were in error, it wasn't I who had vandalized [[Zuffa]], and by reverting my correction of the page, you actually re-added "dana is gay" to the page. No worries, someone else already repaired your error. Please be more careful in identifying [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]] in the future. Thanks. [[User:24.141.153.56|24.141.153.56]] 14:11, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
:Ahhh, my bad, guess I should have checked a little more carefully before I reverted. Thanks for taking care of it, and sorry about the trouble. Regards, [[User:Ravanacker|Ravanacker]] | [[User talk:Ravanacker|Talk]] 17:47, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
== Your [[User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof|VandalProof]] Application ==
Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Ravanacker. As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released [[User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof|1.3 version]] has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that you have been editing Wikipedia for less than a month.
Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank again for your interest in VandalProof. '''[[User:Daniel|<span style="color:#2E82F4">Daniel</span>]]''' 08:49, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
== My recent RfB ==
Thank you so much for your participation in [[Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship/EVula|my recent RfB]]. Though it closed with 72% support (below the required 90%), I'm still quite pleased at the outpouring of support shown by a fair percentage of the community.
I'm currently tabulating and calculating all opposing and neutral arguments to help me better address the community's concerns about my abilities as a bureaucrat. If you'd like, you can follow my progress (and/or provide additional suggestions) at [[User:EVula/admin/RfB notes]]. Thanks again!

== Ack, what am I doing wrong? ==
{{tl|helpme}}
I'm trying to help clear the backlog in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation|Articles for Creation]], but when I made [[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_creation%2FToday&diff=142639954&oldid=142638794| this edit]], it definitely did not do what I was hoping for. I believe it somehow grabbed the Taiwanese Television stub from the candidate for creation above it, but I have no idea why, or how to fix it. Please help me out >_<; [[User:Ravanacker|Ravanacker]] | [[User talk:Ravanacker|Talk]] 10:50, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
:It wasn't your fault. The guy above you included templates in his request, which somehow (exactly why is opaque to me) screwed up the formatting of the table you used. No worries. --[[User:Haemo|Haemo]] 11:05, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
: Oops, I stumbled in there as well trying to fix it. BTW, Thanks for helping at articles for creation! Don't forget to sign your decisions though. You might also be interested in [[User:Henrik/afc-helper|this script]], which makes the work a bit less repetitive. [[User:Henrik|Henrik]] 11:08, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
::Thanks so much, both of you. I though I had broken wikipedia for a second. ^_^; Also, I didn't realize that I hadn't signed my decision, still not 100% familiar with this wiki thing.
