Comment
Go ahead and remodify this back to Rickrolling if you want, but I wanted to send a quick comment. As you can imagine, per my creating the page earlier, I am going to be involved this year. I am waiting for exactly midnite GMT for my efforts.
Now change this back to Rick-roll and hide my comment until April 2. Comment further on my talk page if you want but I'll hide it. =D CycloneGU (talk) 22:51, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for the comment. This year was a pretty epic April Fools day, I have to say. Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 21:10, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
- See my change to this. The closing lines at the top and bottom didn't match, and I thought we could do something with the red text. =D CycloneGU (talk) 23:28, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
- Ha ha ha, Nice. Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 23:32, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

- Ya, I saw that. Pretty interesting, I wonder how many of these type things we can get. Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 18:56, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
- It depends how much you can twist Snottywong's arm ;) The voter profiles is quite important. Like getting the profiles of the people who do NPP, it will be interesting to do some deeper research into the names on the list to establish just how experienced some of them are. One of the inherent disadvantages of the way Wikipedia works is that anyone can vote on most issues and inexperienced voters can nevertheless greatly influence the vote count. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:23, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
RfA reform
Hi Tofutwitch11/Archive 3. I have now moved the RfA reform and its associated pages to project space. The main page has been updated and streamlined. We now also have a new table on voter profiles. Please take a moment to check in and keep the pages on your watchlist. Regards, Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:06, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Caribbean Airlines to Orlando
Can you watch Piarco International Airport and Caribbean Airlines destinations? An IP continues to add MCO as a destination with no source and beginning "Summer 2011". I have reverted this many times since there is no source or date given for this service. Thanks! Snoozlepet (talk) 20:04, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
That RfA reform thing
Kudpung has asked me to 'nudge' some people .. as I'm an idle get, I'm just going through the entire Task Force list so my apologies if you didn't need a nudge!

Uh Oh
This is not good, I've been so busy my TalkPage only has Signpost messages. Anyone care to start a conversation? Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 01:54, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yep - don't hesitate to chime in some more at WP:RFA2011, and I'd be extremely interested to hear your verdict on Dylan's RfA that was closed this morning - more from the angle of RfA as a system than whether he passed or failed. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:44, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Retired?
I just saw this pop into my watchlist. What happened? I don't see anything in your recent edits that explains why you are leaving. I am sorry to see you go and I hope that you return someday. Best wishes, Alpha Quadrant talk 16:17, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
- Oh dear, yes - come back soon dude, you'll be missed -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:27, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
- The edit summary says "I'll be back though -- one day". I'm interpreting it as if xe will come back tomorrow. But, if you now have decided to retire, that's sad to hear, as you were a great contributor. HeyMid (contribs) 17:31, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Everyone...I have taken a step back from my day to day editing recently..and have witnessed so much fighting etc, that I just can't deal with right now. I'm working on a few other projects as of recent, but when they are finished, I'll be back, I promise. Maybe three months, maybe three years, but I'll be back. I loved every minute I spent here. I've set my email to alert me every time my talk page is edited, so I will still be notified if you post something, and if you feel my opinion is needed anywhere post here and I'll take a look. Take care everyone -- Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 18:54, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
- I can't fight this battle. Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 23:01, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
- Well, if you don't see it as a battle, you don't have to fight it! -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 23:30, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
- So.... you can't fight that battle, but your sock can? 28bytes (talk) 16:20, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
- I got frustrated of sitting there and letting Keepscases get away with all the shit that's been going on. I can't just sit by and watch anymore. This'll dry me out. BTW, I used my other account because I was in a public place. Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 18:55, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Why don't you simply stay out of Wikipedia politics and meta stuff for a while, take those pages off your watchlist, let the dragons battle it out amongst themselves, and just get back to your articles about airlines and airports? - the stuff you're really good at, then take that silly 'retired' notice off your UP ;) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:54, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with Kudpung, much to his chagrin I'm sure. No one asked you to be part of the conversation, and frankly, all you had to offer were dumb questions. When you don't like a conversation and have nothing substantial to add to it, you shouldn't be there. Keepscases (talk) 01:39, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
- Dumb questions? Who are you to come tell me I'M asking dumb questions, when I got involved with YOU for asking dumb questions at RFA. Excuse me. I'm trying to put a stop to this nonsense. Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 02:02, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
