Thanks[edit]

Thanks a lot. :) —αἰτίας •discussion• 19:23, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Sean William @ 21:15, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello; perhaps you can semi-protect this page too. Would be very nice. Best regards, —αἰτίας •discussion• 00:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done, although it seems you already requested its unprotection. Sean William @ 02:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks again! :) By the way: I haven't, as you can see here... Just seems like it was a mistake. Best regards, —αἰτίας •discussion• 05:58, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow...[edit]

Oh shit, you are back. XD Miranda 20:25, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is that a compliment? Sean William @ 23:20, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think so. BTW, I just noticed you have been an admin for exactly 1 year less than I have, which is interesting :D. Especially since I just added that template to my userpage today. Prodego ^talk 02:28, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is a complement. Miranda 10:13, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well then, thank you. Sean William @ 11:55, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Privacy issues[edit]

I'm retargeting because the old pages have been deleted per the right to vanish and prior precedence and courtesy and changing a username and a need to regain privacy for personal reasons that are quite important. Is it causing you problems at related changes? I've been trying to limit them to short bursts every now and then Hiding T 12:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, never mind me then. I was not aware you were vanishing. There have been issues in the past with rapid redirect-bypassing. Don't worry about those, though; If you're vanishing, just carry on. Sean William @ 12:04, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not so much that I'm vanishing as I'm attempting to make the old name vanish as best I can in search engines, because it's starting to cause me issues in real life. What are the redirect-bypassing issues, do I need to be aware of them? Hiding T 12:13, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, don't worry about them at all. They arose because someone was changing the links without any purpose at all. (The ANI thread is here, if you care). But you have a purpose, which I endorse, so you'll be fine. Sean William @ 12:16, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heh heh[edit]

Yup, no matter how hard you try, Wikipedia's like a vortex. So go ahead. Try to escape. Maser ^(Talk!) 06:10, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps... Sean William @ 11:54, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to see you back[edit]

Well, its good to see you back again, mate. Hope you're enjoying yourself again :) Qst 21:40, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Sean William @ 21:41, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply on User:Defender 911[edit]

Well, this all seems very screwy. I've requested more feedback at WT:BAN#Does an indef block become a ban automatically simply by not bringing it to anyone's attention? Feel free to comment there. -- Kendrick7^talk 18:09, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

hey... just wondering. you deleted the actual article for "Browne at Midnight," but why did you delete the "talk" page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Browneatmidnight (talk • contribs) 19:56, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's common procedure. (See WP:CSD.) Sean William @ 21:22, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking of User:1a2323243254345[edit]

You blocked the user but didn't leave an explanation on their talk page; just wondering why not, as I thought that was something that must be done. Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 19:14, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I generally don't leave user talk messages for people I've blocked for username violations, as the template I use is very specific. You are free to leave one if you'd prefer. Sean William @ 19:19, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't want to go around doing admin duties because I was afraid that would be seen as too WP:BOLD. But I think I will, just in case the user had good intentions. Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 23:55, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikBack account created[edit]

Someone, perhaps you, recently created an account at the WikBack. If the account was created by an imposter, please let me know as soon as possible so that it can be disabled. Otherwise, welcome! The Uninvited Co., Inc. 20:41, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm very pleased with the idea of an off-wiki, public place for discussion without a mailing list. Sean William @ 20:43, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
