When was the last time...

... that I dropped in to say "good job"? bd2412 T 02:00, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure, but I am sure I didn't deserve it as much as you do. :) I see you are a lot more active lately, I trust all is well? Prodego talk 02:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Oh, and while I have you, I could use your impressive mediation skills over at Talk:Don't Copy That Floppy. Something to ease the tension if you have the time. Prodego talk 02:10, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Oh yes, I am active - I have just rebooted Wikipedia:Templates with red links (setting up no less than seventy-seven pages of lists of templates containing redlinks). Do check it out! bd2412 T 04:59, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

We meet again, archnemesis...

I recently asked Daniel for some advice, and thought that maybe I could get your opinion. Whaddaya say? If you respond I promise to never bother you again. :P Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share? 04:03, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Honestly I think you are quite qualified, and you seem to have resolved that mainspace edits issue that so plagued you the first time. The main issue now is that inactivity period you had. Based entirely on that if waited 3 months, from now to 'run' I would give you about 90% chance on that being fine, 2, 70%, 1 30%. Or something like that. I also highly recommend bothering me more, as it will inflate your editcount to the OMG! level that some people need, if you understand my meaning. :) Also, avoid making legal or death threats, as well as saying that things "sux" Prodego talk 20:56, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Support me or I will kill you. And sue you for your firstborn.
Just kidding. And I wasn't planning on being in an RFA for at least 3 months if I can help it; I'd like to build up my worthiness, as 2000 mainspace edits is so paltry. I think I'm going to try to improve some articles... and I'll bother you more, of course. That's a given. ;) Master of Puppets Care to share? 21:34, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Statement regarding Durova/!! matter

FYI, I am alerting user's who have voted to oppose based on my comments about the Durova matter that I have written a longer statement regarding my views on the matter which I hope clarifies a few points of apparent misunderstanding. See User:JoshuaZ/Statement regarding Durova and !!. Thanks. JoshuaZ (talk) 02:05, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Could you take a look at the current lead of the Santa Claus article. I have sourced two The New York Times and the London Evening Standard that children primarily believe in Santa Claus. Additionally, there is an MSNBC poll provided showing children believe in Santa. Two "Santa is real" supporters feel this is POV (one removed the "primarily" word as a "weasel word"), and one, User:Jeffpw, found a Canadian marketing survey that showed out of 1000 Canadian adults, 300 believe in Santa and 700 did not. So I added the wording "(and a small number of adults)" with the source. This is now being called POV on my part. We could stand to have some--*ahem*--adult supervision. --David Shankbone 16:53, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

This is good. Prodego talk 18:10, 13 December 2007 (UTC)


My (in the long future) RfA

You left a comment about my planned RfA on my talk page. You have nothing to worry about; I realized from my past RfA that I would need that many edits, so I was just pretty much looking to see how far along I was. Oh, and by the way, if I had a registered bot, do you think my chances of succeeding in my future RfA would be better? Or would that affect my chances at all? 23:44, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

You are on my good list
