Yosting it
After seven months on Wikipedia it finally occurred to me to type my own name into it. Good Lord, I hope my coworkers/ex-girlfriends never find this. (Be sure to read "Yostmania")... --Dvyost 02:05, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
- The Blue Ranger! That's really weird if there actually are people writing Billy fan fiction. Do they have "slash" with him and the other Rangers? (I really don't want to know . . . . ) Nice original research all through that article, by the way. I, sadly, do not have a doppleganger notable enough for Wikipedia. Maybe he was a Teletubby or something and just hasn't been written up yet. —BrianSmithson 05:15, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Sweet!

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, ban anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on Votes for deletion (provided there's a consensus) for more than one week, protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.
Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»=Please also add your name to WP:LA. =Nichalp «Talk»= 08:06, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
- Aah! This comes from not checking out WP:RFA too often. I would certainly have supported you, had I seen your nomination in time. I know you'll be a fine admin. — mark ✎ 16:02, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
- No problem, Mark. I missed Dave's nomination a couple weeks ago, and apparently yours, whenever it was. Thanks for the vote of support, even if it was only here! —BrianSmithson 17:10, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Congratulations from the land of ice and snow. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 16:34, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks again! —BrianSmithson 17:10, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Congratulations!
Thank you for your message on my Talk page! I wanted to again congratulate you on your appointment as Administrator. It is always nice when the vote is unanimous! As a fellow RfD-er to another, I wish you the best of luck utilizing your newfound powers! --Martin Osterman 17:58, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Congratulations!!! Regards, Carioca 18:45, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
- Thank you, thank you! —BrianSmithson 21:32, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Congrats, heres a test :-D
Congrats I'm going to take you up on that offer. Canollita that article is all in spanish, and it looks like a copy vio at that maybe you shoud speedy it :-D KnowledgeOfSelf | talk. 18:02, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
- Yup. Was copyvio. Taken care of! Thanks for the pointer. —BrianSmithson 18:08, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Côte d'Ivoire
Thought you might like to know, I've just changed about 150 articles to link to Côte d'Ivoire rather than Ivory Coast. You can see from what links to Ivory Coast compared to what links to Côte d'Ivoire, that Côte d'Ivoire has the upper hand in Wikipedia now. - Xed 18:49, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info. I doubt the Ivory Coasters are going to take Wikipedia links as a persuasive argument, but you never know. I hope someone with access to some more style guides can comment, as I really think that's going to be what determines the form Wikipedia uses. —BrianSmithson 21:32, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Could Joseph Barbera create a new show?
Despite he is 94 years old, I am sure he will continue on, could anyone do this for him? I wonder if Barbera be interested in doing a new show on Charlie Dog on television about the dance floor, before the producer could be in failing health. I do not know his phone number. This could-be new show not only attracts adults, but kids as well. He is the only last oldest animator/producer to try this.
- Somehow I doubt it. —BrianSmithson 21:32, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Comprender / entender
I went ahead and explained Estremeño at The Padlock. BTW, "no comprende" means "you don't understand" or "he doesn't understand", so I originally read your edit summary quite wrongly. "I don't understand" is "no comprendo" or, more commonly (but without an English-language cognate) "no entiendo". -- Jmabel | Talk 21:22, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
- Only goes to show you how little Spanish I know! Thanks for taking care of the translation part of the article. C'est compris? —BrianSmithson 21:32, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
You rock.
Hi, and congratulations on adminstratorship! Use your new powers for good, not evil, okay? :)--Sean|Black 22:15, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations, and you're very welcome! Thanks for the birthday greetings as well! --Merovingian (t) (c) (e) 22:35, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Good job on earning the mop : ) --MPerel ( talk | contrib) 11:41, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
You're Welcome
I'm very selective about whom I vote for, therefore I rarely vote. However, when I spot a Wikipedian whom I believe is devoted and dedicated to the project plus, has the potential of becoming a great Admin. then I'm there to give him or her my full support. If I can ever be of any help, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.Tony the Marine 23:00, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Baka
I tried to move it to Baka (Pygmy tribe) but the Wiki stopped me. I was thinking we could have the other Baka at Baka (Bantu people). But about the pygmy tribe, what about Baka (Pygmy people). I just thought the title was too long. --Hottentot
- Hi. Sorry about that. Feel free to revert all my edits regarding the Baka articles. (You can move the page back to its original title) I was unaware of that information. --Hottentot 22:11, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Kribi
Hi - just discovered your reversion of the stub template on Kribi. As far as stub sorting is concerned, Cameroon is firmly in West Africa, as explained in Category:West Africa geography stubs. Grutness...wha? 05:50, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
- That's debatable. See Talk:West Africa for my response to these same claims over that way. This needs a thorough discussion on Wikipedia (Cameroon is not the only country in the nebulous zone). I might call for one after I get back from vacation after Thanksgiving. --BrianSmithson 12:26, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

"sic" in the JET Programme article
The change I made to the Further Reading section in JET Programme has been reverted yet again by Brettr. You expressed agreement with my position on the issue. Could you perform the next revert to delete "sic", so it doesn't look like I'm the only one who disagrees with him? Thanks. - Exitmoose 05:50, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
