I haven't noticed you around much lately, dear Phaedriel. Where for art thou? And what is this about wiki-exhaustion and you being considered for deletion, eh? -JacќяМ ¿Qué?00:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
That deletion thing on her userpage is just a joke. Nothing taken serious. She is currently tried at the moment but will return to normal soon I hope :) KingLopezContribs09:47, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh Phaedriel, where art thou? We miss you :( in all seriousness, take your time; we don't want an unhappy Sharon! Best wishes, and we'll all be hoping you have a relaxing WikiBreak.
Check it out - this is another bug. It's not related to the other bug, but don't tell the spider - he's adopted.
Also, you are probably wondering what I am doing tonight. Well, I'm making pork chops. Now you are sitting there thinking, 'I wonder which, of the three major world religions, the_undertow practices...' Silly Phae! I'm making pork chops so that pretty much clears up any and all confusion. Laterz. the_undertowtalk00:53, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Did someone say... card from Spebi? :)
Dear Phaedriel,
Sharon... :) I hope you like doves, and I hope that this card was a suprise ;) I'd write an email, but I don't think making a card in an email would turn out looking that good at all. And I'm running out of creative ideas for cards, so this may be the last card for a while! :(
How have you been lately? I hope everything's going okay for you, and that you're not as exhausted as your userpage notice. I've been thinking a lot about #@!, and what you said about me $#%^!@# %&* (#@)!`~#&!=.
I'll be writing you an email soon, k? :)
And now, I grant you with another special gift of mine; as you have been reading this card, something has happened. To find out what exactly happened, you'll have to wait until another message appears on this page. Let's just hope you have new messages before Tuesday, 14 August... ;)
Here's some ice cream for you! Ice cream somehow promotes WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving something friendly to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing! Cheers,Lights13:26, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Smile!
Here's a Persian cat for you! Persian cat's somehow promotes WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving something friendly to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Make your own message to spread WikiLove to others! Happy editing! Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (tαlk)
I have to admit when Tony and Scribe both got days, I really lusted after having one myself. This made me so happy! Thank you - and thanks WizardMan! You guys are too cool. --David Shankbone02:41, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Block on User:A.J.1.5.2.
Hello again. My colleague Alex is still blocked from editing after I was blocked last week (Pete Hurd believes we are the same person, and listed a whole lot of accounts that come from our shared IP). As he is a different editor to me (not a sockpuppet) and generally contributes in different areas of interest, can you please unblock his account? This will prevent him from creating another account, and hence probably attract more attention and accusations of sockpuppetry in the future.

thinking of you
Thinking of you...
Away, those cloudy looks, that labouring sigh,
The peevish offspring of a sickly hour!
Nor meanly thus complain of Fortune's power,
When the blind gamester throws a luckless die.
Yon setting sun flashes a mournful gleam
Behind those broken clouds, his stormy train:
To-morrow shall the many-coloured main
In brightness roll beneath his orient beam!
Hi Phaedriel, I just wanted to leave you a note to assure you that I'm fine, contrary to what certain vandal(s) seem to have said. I'm disappointed that some people choose to harass rather than help one another and the encyclopedia at large. Please keep my userpage protected for now, OK?
I've missed you and everybody else (OK, maybe with some understandable exceptions), but I'm still extremely busy and I don't know when I will next go online. You and many other people have been in my thoughts, and I'm sorry for any worries my much-needed absence has caused you. I hope this brief message lifts your spirits. I'll try to write more later. With much love, Kyoko23:32, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Random Editor's Day
Hello there Phaedriel. When I saw that it was my day, I literally broke down into tears. Thank you for the most precious of gifts. I shall treasure it for ever. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (tαlk) 00:42, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Some formatting matters that you might be able to help with...
Dear Phaedriel,
I've noticed your beautiful userpage designs and I thought you might be able to help me out with a rather annoying problem I'm happing with a certain page. It is a newsletter that is transcluded on talkpages with a portal format. In portals, the table of contents and section edit is disabled. However, when it is transcluded on a talkpage, it disables and as well. All my attempts at fixing this have been futile. I'd love if you could help me out!
Still interested in the Black Hawk War, I have seen a couple of your old comments on some of the battle pages. This subject has been a topic of vigorous research and expansion by me of late, we have raised 8 of 14 battle articles to GA so far. If you feel like taking a look around I have a collaboration page in my user space that might be useful to navigate some of the new content outside of the battle and main war articles. The pages are kind of construction zones, at least some of them, so don't mind the mess. Anything you have to offer as far as comments and/or edits would be appreciated. If this message is misdirected and mistaken in your interest in said topic please disregard. IvoShandor01:50, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
I should also mention that I am undertaking a major reorganization of the main war article in my user space. This will correct what I see as major flow problems. IvoShandor02:08, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
request
Hi Phaedriel,
I don't want to be too much of a bother while you're on your semi-wikibreak (and don't I know how those are), but I have a request. Remember a while back I nominated some of my buddies for Awesome Wikipedian Days? I'd like to again request that István gets a Day sometime pretty soon. He's been going through some rough patches in real life and I think he could probably use a little cheering-up. Everything seemed like it was back to normal for a while, then he vanished again for over a week and sounded (to my over-sensitive perception anyway) a little grumpy when he briefly showed up again today. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I have the sneaking suspicion that maybe things have taken a downturn for him again. :( Anyway, even if I'm imagining things and he's doing fine, I think he still deserves the recognition--he's an outstanding editor as well as just a generally nifty person. :)
And if I may shamelessly meddle a bit, if you do award him a Day, I have another sneaking suspicion that the standard Bougereau-and-Bronte type of "theme" might be not entirely to his taste (er...wasn't to mine either, but I still appreciated it.) Maybe something more like Munkacsy and Petõfi! ;-)
Roses are a symbol of love, and more importantly, as a symbol of WikiLove. Love makes the world lovely, and hopefully this rose has brightened your day. To give another editor a rose and to spread the love, leave the message {{subst:User:Sceptre/wikilove|message=your message}} on their talk page. Happy editing!
It's such a shame that you're exhausted so much to be on Google Talk, so, to brighten your day and hopefully draw you back to the lovely place that we call the Wiki, here's a stellar rose to adequately say thanks for the love you give. (Oh, and the header title is a reference to this comic strip, one of my favourite strips in a webcomic ever.) Will(talk)00:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC).
It is free-content, isn't it?! :) Actually, I think you need to give me some sort of remuneration.... fer all da publicity that I'm generating fer ya! :) (Not that you need any, ur userpage being the fifth most visited and ur talkpage being the fourth most visited per day on this wonderful place!) aJCfreakyAk22:24, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Howdy-do, just stopping by for a little hello. Are those page view statistics accurate? How does one go about figuring that out? All is well I hope? Johntex\talk03:02, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
PLAGURIZER! On behalf of Sharon I am suing your ass!
Well, for all of our sakes, we hope you recover. I'd really hate to see your name on the Missing Wikipedians page. :( -Yancyfry01:33, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Question
Hello! I was wondering if you could help me with some userpage design? I just want to lend some color to it. Let me know. Thanks a bunch in advance. :) --Candy156sweet05:13, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
For being the kindest, most caring, helpful, and just an all-around wonderful Wikipedian to have contact with. One of the best! Jmlk1707:36, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Your Friend
I'm a little bit worried. Have not seen you around since the 14th. I know you said you would be kind of inactive, but you left kind of suddenly. Hope everything is fine. If you need to talk send me a email. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (tαlk) 23:18, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm also getting worried, because normally you at least update your editor of the day template, and you've been mysteriously absent. I hope that everything is fine, and you know how to contact me if you need to talk. Love, Kyoko00:01, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Phaedriel is a little busy in other places at the moment. I won't speak on her behalf, but she seems fine to me, just having a little time out that's all. Majorly (talk) 00:33, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
I concur — We are looking forward to seeing our favourite admin back in action. Wikipedia seems rather dull without you. Love! Your friend, G.A.S16:34, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
My dear Phaedriel
I wish to let you know you are missed, and that whatever life throws at you, remember: The soul would have no rainbow, if the eye had no tears.
Remember User:R:128.40.76.3? Well, I'm tempted to not play so nice, so I'd like you (or some of the many people who visit this page) to take another look at his edits in the last some days. Consider the article Patrick DeMeyer which he has just created and which seems to have been deleted a number of times; consider that he may also be User:128.40.76.3 (and more?). And maybe take a look at what has been going on at Edward J. Steele. Thank, Jack Merridew15:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
I think you find this is the case as we are four diffrent editors who were working on the same article at the same time. We share a common office (as explained before). Two of us have accounts, and two edit anon from our shared IP. I fail to see how I, or any of my collegues are breaching any of wikipedias policies in our choices of articles we focus our editing on. R:128.40.76.315:48, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
I just happened to bump across the page for Pagalguy and saw that it had been deleted by you. I believe the reason cited was "blatant publicity". I can quite believe that. I am currently employed with PaGaLGuY.com and would like to clear up the issue if possible.
We are a forum based community website which strongly believes in the knowledge of the people. (yeah I didn't use the term user-generated content) We've seen some tremendous growth in recent years. We've quite literally become the single most massive repository of all information concerning MBA in India. Most citations in Wikipedia on related articles are from PG (as we lovingly call it. heh)
We have a massive amount of traffic on our website. We generate 8 million page views per month, have a current userbase of over 140,000 people, with total posts numbering over 830,000. We've become quite pervasive in our own niche.
I would like to open a discussion about what would be the best way in setting up a page on PG at Wikipedia. Something that would not reek of corporate befuddlement or publicity. I've taken part in editing some stuff on India before, and believe me, I identify with the Wikipedia ideology. We work in a similar fashion on our website; always trying to present an unbiased perspective on issues relating to MBA in India/Abroad.
grins* couldn't resist Phedriel sweetie :) Hope all is well... sorry I've been out of it/so busy that I haven't emailed you lately. you have my email if you want to chat. Have a great one! (is it friday yet?) :D SirFozzie12:58, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
A spammy article you've already deleted in the past at Cameron McGuffie has been recreated by the subject and he's been removing the speedy deletion tags. Could you delete and salt it this time? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.205.40 (talk) 12:05, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
No need to rush to explain anything, take your time, whatever's easier. I'll try to be on Gtalk or somewhere soon. Take it easy, OK? :) ~ Riana ⁂04:57, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I feel more special after your reply. See, wikipedia needs more people like you. Then no one would be sad, and requests for comment wouls be request for smiles or something. Wizardman05:48, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
You are back! So good to see you back here! Things seem to have somehow darkened slightly while you were away; you add an essential colour to this place. Welcome back! -- Anonymous DissidentTalk06:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
