The nom

Titoxd, it was so kind of you to put up the nom and consider supporting me. Would you mind however if I didn't go up for adminship at the moment? I would like to get more experience with some areas of WP policy that I haven't learnt very much about yet, particularly copyrights, copyright infringements, and how precisely the policies with respect to these issues work. I am, however, deeply honored by your confidence in me—it was very kind and thoughtful of you to do this. Thank you, Tito. Regards encephalon 05:30, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

can you explain what's happening on Essjay's user page, an IP added an infobox which I reverted on sight since it was an IP address edit to a userpage then you reverted me back, I know realize based on the subject of the infobox that it was probably Essjay not logged in who added it but out of curiosity was that assumption (again probably a correct one) why you reverted me?

Thanks, I'll do that. You may be interested in the new userbox I made up saying that this user does not feed trolls, I know it needs work but it's somewhat funny with the do not feed the trolls image.

It wasn't a big deal. Today has been a crummy day for me(one of many lately outside of Wikipedia), and when I saw alot of my user boxes missing after your edit and you didn't put them back, I thought, "Man, that seems pretty rude, something that the Esperanza Advisory Board shouldn't have". However, I stepped away from the computer for a few hours, and put into better context assuming that it was just a small, non-malicious error, and I put my vote back. Thank you for the message though in confirming what I thought later on was correct. Karmafist 01:49, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Things You Can Do

Well, since you asked, I figured I might as well tell you, even if they do sound farfetched.

1. Find me an attractive female who lives less than an hour from Manchester, New Hampshire and wishes to have sex with me.
2. Get me a job that lets me do all the things here on Wikipedia, only for a living wage(I currently have two jobs, and they both pay literally next to nothing and are both incredibly frustrating)
3. Eliminate all hatred and misunderstandings between human beings, particularly those within a 1,000 mile radius of me.
4. Help the
   Anaheim Angels defeat the New York Yankees or get the New England Patriots
   off their slide.
5. Get me Super Powers or something...
6. Invent a Time Machine and speed up time to November 7th, 2006, but before doing so, bankroll a massive media buyout campaign in Merrimack, New Hampshire that'll last until then so I can at least have some success with #3 in some small way as an elected official with some clout.
7. Think of more outrageous things that I could do to make myself feel better.

Thanks for listening, you're gonna make a kickass Esperanzan Advisory Councilor. Karmafist 03:47, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

That's ok, mine is on the fritz most of the time. I'm not being sarcastic this time though, i've changed my entire life around in order to run for State Representative in 2006. New Hampshire is wierd, we have an insanely high Legistlator to Constituent ratio (around 3,000 to 1), so someone with my limited experience(almost zero) still has a shot if I can find a compatible job(State Repping pays 100 bucks a year).
I do have some experience running for offices though, here's my results from last year, I'm the guy in District 19 who finished with 4,185 votes, and here's the board I ran for in June. Finished 23rd, but showed up at all but one of their meetings so far and testified in most of them. Apparently, I got lucky since they have a hell of a job before them.
Right now though, I don't know if I can hold out until next yeer. My Real Estate job will be in the red until at least next Spring, my job as a journalist is also putting me in the red unless I can get lucky this week and get upgraded from Freelancer to Editor at The Cabinet Press, or find some other job somewhere or win the lottery. My temperment outside of Wikipedia has also been deteriorating, I still live with my folks, and I can barely tolerate them anymore, rI left the house a few hours ago to come here to the office(Real Estate) just because I can't stand to be near them right now. Karmafist 04:52, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, to be honest with you, I played the drums and the Xylophone in High School and haven't played since, but figured that counted. Also, as any Real Sox fan can tell you, seeing the Yankees lose is just as enjoyable, if not more so than seeing the Old Towne team win. I can sympathize with Chicago fans a little bit, but as per my name, i'm a big believer in karma, and the White Sox are probably just breaking even on that front now for 1919, while we were savagely raped of our good karma that year. Besides, it is still beyond me why they can't just become Cubs fans and lull themselves into that comatose joy stupor that all Cubs fans seem to be in. Hell, if the Cubs were closer to here, I'd probably become one for psychological health reasons. Heck, maybe I'll become one regardless! I just gotta get all this Red Sox negativity out of my system; 2004 was definately cathartic, but The Nation definately isn't all the way out of that mindset yet. Karmafist 05:07, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

You're probably right, just keep on reminding me that, my friend. If you friend is right and I'm able to hang in there, remind me in 2007 to introduce legislation making October 9th "Titoxd Day" in the Granite State. ;-) Karmafist 05:11, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Yep, I guess it does! I was rooting for the D-Backs in 2001 too. However, their current poor play is just a baseball thing, with the Red Sox it's almost sociological, to the extent that some people are calling it a secular religion around these parts (as evidence by the team's marketing slogan the past few years:"Keep The Faith"). I have a strange feeling that Bostonians will be saying that "Yankees Suck" long after baseball's replaced with some new futuristic sport. Karmafist 05:22, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Titoxd, thank you very much for your vote of confidence in my bid to become one of the first members of the Esperanza Advisory Committee. Even though the elections not finished, and the final results are still out, I would like you to know that I appreciate your support, and look forward to working together in making Wikipedia a better place to work and edit. Cheers, Bratsche^{talk | Esperanza} 18:17, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Good evening. I just read your latest comment at Wikipedia talk:Votes for undeletion/Deletion review proposal#Speedies. That's a good thought. Do you have some draft language about the bad-faith requests? I'm thinking that

1. Any admin restore could/should be assumed to be in good faith (especially since we can't stop them from restoring anyway). Now, a failure to open the AFD or an abusive pattern of restores might be evidence of bad faith but that gets resolved through other means. Given all that, maybe we don't need to say anything about admins.
2. that non-admin requests to restore a speedy should be allowed to stay up for 24 hours (maybe 48 just in case there's a really slow day?). I'm working on the theory that if no admin agrees with you that the specific speedy-criterion might not have been met within that time, the request has no chance of surviving.

Putting all that in sounds like too much instruction-creep, though. I'm hoping you have a better thought. Rossami (talk) 01:41, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Yankees Suck! Thanks for the update, buddy! Bratsche is a nice guy, otherwise i'd rescind my vote on him so you two could get into a tiebreaker. Good luck in the home stretch, it's been quite an election! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Karmafist (talk • contribs) 05:19, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

I'd be more than happy to nominate you, but the question is when. According to Kate's Tool, you lie just short of the magical 2,000 edit mark. Once you hit that mark, it's a lock. Right now, you have a good chance, but it's not assured. So, it's up to you -- wait a week or two and be a lock, or try for it now. Either way, I'll support you, just let me know. If you do decide to wait, i'd suggest more article space edits. Karmafist 14:20, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

P.S- Thanks for signing my post above! It was a long night...

Thanks for digging that up! I thought about including a link but didn't want to hunt for it. Of course, now that you have my right shoe you have to write an article about it! - Tεxτurε 16:26, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

indeed - thanks :).

Yep, that's exactly what it means. Vandals pathetically think they can ruin your day by messing up your userpage, but at least it gives us a good laugh. Anyway, glad to be of service. --Spangineer (háblame) 03:49, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Tito! Hey! I just wanted to pop in to thank you for supporting me in the Advisory Committee Election. I don't know exactly what I'm supposed to do yet, but I trust that Essjay will be a good leader and let us know. And if he doesn't, I'll impeach him! ;o See ya around!

Hello there Titoxd, I just wanted to thank you for your vote of confidence. Even though I didn't make, it's not the end of the world and I really appreciate the trust you have given to me. Thanks again and I wish you all the best... Gryffindor 21:58, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm sure you would have done a most fantastic job, I'm really sorry to hear you didn't make it I was so sure you would get in considering your dedication and adeptness. Well who knows, maybe next time?-) I'm sure we'll be in touch and let me know if you ever need anything... kind regards Gryffindor 23:15, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about what classified as blanking. I was warning the user (because he/she is new). My reasoning is:

• clearly it's topic is a repeat of other articles (i.e. apostasy)
• the article is almost copy and paste job of a website critical of Islam
• it is only a promoter for various links

Thanks for the warning though. Instead I will tag it for speedy deletion. Man you guys act fast; I just edited and it was reverted. If you don't mind me asking: how do you do it? :-) --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 00:30, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Ok thanks. The article has been tagged. --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 00:39, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Tito, I was glad to have your note. There is no need to thank me; you were an excellent candidate and I would have liked to see you in one of the tranches. But no fear, you'll get in in the next round, if you want to run again. Keep up your great work, and see you around the wiki. encephalon 11:04, 15 October 2005 (UTC) NB. My wikibreak is not "absolute"; I merely expect to be editing less heavily than usual for a while. Regards.

Hey, anybody who dislikes the Yankees deserves a vote ;-) Better luck next time, pal. Karmafist 14:20, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your support - my bid (as you probably know) went swimmingly. I couldn't have asked for a better one. Thank you very much and I just hope I don't mess up!

Wow. Asking someone to remove a support vote from their own RfA is probably the most admin-like thing i've ever seen. You definately deserve a barnstar for that.

Hello. Do you remember when you reverted the edit to Hurricane Wilma that made it a "Category 6" storm? I'm not asking you to undo your reversion, but here is where I think the anonymous user was coming from. Anyways, I thought that might interest you. Happy editing, --Merovingian (t) (c) (e) 08:43, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm curious, how did you come across my good IP edits? I don't know about this account thing. If I make an account, the developers can still get to the underlying IP. Also, this sounds silly, but if I get an account, I think I'd become too addicted to Wikipedia.

Anyway, I see you're an aspiring freshman. Good luck! One stylistic issue you may want to consider is the balanced use of commas. Try to use them sparingly so that the sentences read smoother. Do you feel the subtle difference between this paragraph of text and the one before? --216.191.200.1 13:15, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

It would probably be more productive if you would amend your outside view to discuss Tony's civility/lack of civility rather than spreading the deletion discussion to yet another page. --Gmaxwell 02:27, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Gmaxmell, the main part of my comments does not have anything to do with the deletion discussion. It actually has to do with his attitude towards

WP:IAR, which is from where all the discussion of "uncivility" occurs. Titoxd^(?!?

) 02:44, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Are you saying that Tony has someplace excused uncivil behavior by citing WP:IAR? ... If not, I don't see how you can say WP:IAR is related to civility. Related to his deletion activities, yes, but civility? I don't want to see yet another RFC reduced to meaningless because of an ever expanding AFD related ForestFire. Frankly I don't give a darn about any AFD related dispute, so I'm a little sensitive after seeing it derail another rfc. --Gmaxwell 03:45, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
