Welcome back

Welcome back my lazy friend. I've wating for your return for long and finally you've come back. You must have been very busy with your work, right? AW 15:25, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Talk:Dorus Rijkers

Thanks, Peacy. I can't help myself from telling off all my thoughts though I could make the user feel dissatisfied. I have seen you huge contributions yesterday. I have to learn a lot from you, horrible editor. AW 04:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I'm sorry, Peacy Peacent. But don't you think that "Peacy" pronounces tinklingly. Very funny sound. :) AW 04:42, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Re:RfA

Thank you for saying you would support me if I re-ran. However I feel I should point to you that I had a second RfA which ended just over a month or so ago in which I withdrew at (17/16/1), I didnt think it was going to succeed. Ryan has offered to nominate me and I kindly asked him if he would not mind nominating me in about June/July and he said he would, however the fact you are willing to support me means a lot. Thanks and respectfully. Tellyaddict^Talk 09:04, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Again thank you, I'll consider that, hope you're enoying being back! Tellyaddict^Talk 09:11, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: template

Uhm, in fact I know that but, you know, like your kind of in.. e... :) AW 14:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Forget about it. I'm not in a good mood today. Now move to other issue. I see you are a great editor. Do you think we should collaborate to improve some articles to GA class first and then FA? If you agree, suggest some potential ones. Regards. AW 14:35, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

It's a good idea. I've looked through the article. Very promising. AW 15:14, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

BTW, I suggest you remove the old signpost. They're very annoying as I upload your talk page. AW 15:16, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Phil Mitchell

Hi PeaceNT,

Does PeaceNT mean "Peacin' it" or "Peace New Testament" or "Peace No Trouble" or...? :-)

Don't apologize. In fact, I have a confession to make. About ten minutes or so after I posted those comments on Talk:Phil Mitchell & amp; on your talk, I started regretting how I had handled the situation. I tried to think of ways of undoing what I had done (the way I had done, more accurately), but couldn't think of any..

I'm not saying I'm backtracking on my opinion about the article. I would have quick-failed it. [In fact, I intended to, but got busy.] What I am saying is that I shouldn't have put you in a corner like that... I was just surprised, I guess.

Moreover, I think it's fine that you are trying to encourage the editors rather than quick-failing it. That's a difference in style. The only prob is, that particular article needs huge amounts of trimming (in my opinion) and huge amounts of re-writing to make its tone more encyclopedic. It would take a big effort by more than one editor to make it GA in a week. Therefore, if you drag it out by putting it on hold, it might be like building them up just to let them down.. that's my opinion; I could be wrong. Different people have different styles, and no style is superior.

I'll just step aside and let you handle it. I appreciate your helping out at GA!! I'm really too busy with school to contribute much more; my recent contribs were just a sporadic burst. [I used to be more involved.] Like any other task, after you do it a couple times and get feedback from "old hands" (like Homestarmy) it will become a familiar task.

Later! --Ling.Nut 16:00, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

PS: I was just gonna walk away from the article, but then I saw they were arguing with you because of comments that I had made. So of course I need to take the heat for arguments that started with me. :-) Later! -- Ling.Nut 21:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

(undent). Once again, you've caused me no stress, and there is no need to apologize. :-) You were unfortunate to run into immature, truculent editors. Immature editors are shocked and offended when they hit up against the hard reality that their first draft is not as Pulitzer prize-worthy as they have imagined it is... and indeed, that no one's first drafts are so wonderful. Seasoned editors quietly get to work improving things. Immature editors cry "Foul!". Keep up the good work, -- Ling.Nut 10:14, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello PeaceNT, thank you for supporting my RfA!
I was promoted with a final tally of 68/12/0.
Also, please wish a Happy Birthday to Her Majesty the Queen. Vivat Regina!

Bloody Mary (urban legend)

You changed the page into a redirect stating that it is only a fork file of Bloody Mary (person). While this is true, I believe the topic is still notable enough to deserve its own page. Could you please explain yourself further? Your response would be much appreciated. Thank you. PeaceNT 16:17, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

It might deserve it's own page at some point, but you can't just have two articles on the same topic going at once with different information and different sources. Go to the main page and argue there to split it off if you want. DreamGuy 19:08, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

And, for the record, I do support he idea of it being its own page. Certainly it's more than a footnote, and the (person) page is all cluttered. But the article does appear to have been written an its own without looking at the main article and some standard sources on the topic. Considering the number of movies and books both released and planned on the topic it can eventually be a separate article, but that'll be done by moving info over from what's already there and not just writing a new one (they should ideally be merged, with only the most encyclopedic material staying). DreamGuy 22:55, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey PeaceNT. Thanks for supporting my unsuccessful RFA this week under my old name, TeckWiz. I'm now known simply as User:R. I hope to keep helping and improving Wikipedia alongside you. --TeckWiz is now R ^ParlateContribs_@(Let's go Yankees!) 23:31, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Renomination

For some reason I couldn't find a hard limit (some very old discussion when it was still VFD suggests a month). The best I could find in recent documentation was Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Deletion_discussion which states that repeatedly nominating an article in the hopes of getting a different outcome is disruptive. When renominating you should carefully consider your reasoning (Wikipedia:Guide to deletion#If you disagree with the consensus) and provide new information that wasn't used in the earlier discussion, or point out a basic flaw in that original discussion. Generally speaking, the more recent it was, the better an idea it is to NOT renominate. Your comment was right on the nose. - Mgm|^(talk) 18:25, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Userpage

Thanks for nice request but I don't feel like having a userpage now. (I'm tired of vandalism) AW 16:32, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Haha, see this funny vandalism. AW 09:41, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
