My sincere thanks for your support in my request for adminship, which ended with 51 supports, 0 opposes, and 0 neutral. Doubtless it was an error to put one of the government-bred race of pigmen in any position of authority, but I hope your confidence in me proves justified. Even a man pure of heart and who says his prayers at night can become a were-boar when the moon is full and sweet. Fortunately, I'm neither a were-pig nor pure of heart so this doesn't appear to be an imminent danger to Wikipedia for the moment. Fortunate as well because were-pig hooves are hell on keyboards and none too dexterous with computer mice. If ever I should offend, act uncivil, misstep, overstep, annoy, violate policy, or attempt to topple the fascist leadership of Wikipedia, please let me know so I can improve my behaviour and/or my aim. I am not an animal; I am an admin. And, of course, if there is any way in which I can help you on Wikipedia, please do not hesitate to ask me. Despite my japes, I am indeed dedicated to protecting and serving Wikipedia to the best of my foppish and impudent abilities. I will strive to be an admirable admin, shiny and cool, reasonable and beatific. Pigmanwhat?/trail 05:56, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Post Scriptum: I believe my collaged graphic at left, which incorporates the WP globe and mop image, falls under the rubric of parody for my purposes here. Or is it satire? Regardless, it's a legitimate and legally protected First Amendment usage under US law. Complaints and allegations that this is an improper "fair use" image will be entertained on my talk page, probably with fruit juice, finger food and exotic coffees.
Hello, my name is Darius Groza. I read an article called Failed predictions on Wikipedia, about people statements that turned to be true, such people saying the telephone is a hoax. It says you deleted it. How can I still see it's content? I would need some quotes from it.

well you should not have delete Eve (Tv Series) because it refers to a forthcoming sitcom of the mauritian society. The airing has been in progress! Bring it back.
Dearest Mailer diablo,
Thank you for your participation in my RFA, which closed successfully with 137 supports, 22 opposes, and 5 neutrals. Your support is very much appreciated and I look forward to proving you right.

I never thanked you for participating in my RfA a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for your support, though unfortunately the request was closed as "no consensus". I plan to run again at a later time, and I hope you will support me again then.

What makes a science fiction group notable (for this site)?[edit]
Hi this is a question about notability. There seem to be a looooot of articles about local science fiction societies. I presume because there are a lot of SciFi fans on wiki, they seem to be immune to failing the normal required standard of notability needed. I am thinking of Birmingham Science Fiction Group, an article which to me is completely lame, but because it is 'important in the history of british science fiction groups' or something, a prod was removed. Well it wouldn't be in Britannia lol, and to the rest of the world that aren't into SciFi I can tell from the article's history that I'm not the first to be surprised that it's there, someone else tried to speedy it. Would it ever be deleted at AfD?Merkinsmum 22:22, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
((unblock|You must have been kidding me. The edit at Pan Am three years ago obviously can't be vandalism!)) - Mailer Diablo 22:41, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Unblock declined as a blatant sockpuppet. But you should try editing, anyway. You never know. Um, I guess I'll ask David about this. I don't get it. Good to go, for now? – Luna Santin (talk) 22:51, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
My error - I meant to block User:Mattjblythe who has since been blocked by others for uploading a misleading obscene picture and replacing the Pan Am article with it. Sorry about that. - DavidWBrooks 01:29, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Howdy Mailer diablo, thanks for participating in my request for adminship. I am happy to say it was successful, 55/0/0, and I am looking forward to getting to work. Thanks for your vote of confidence. By all means, feel free to check in on my work to come. Suggestions and advice are always appreciated.
I considered not spamming talk pages but not saying "thanks" just isn't me. The support was remarkable and appreciated. I only hope that I am able to help a little on here. Please let me know if I can help you or equally if you find any of my actions questionable. Thanks & regards --Herbytalk thyme 12:27, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Mailer; I'm confused about the message on my talk page, because MRT Singapore has already been removed. I'll be out most of the afternoon; let me know what you need. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:47, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Four years ago this day, a foreigner was voted by the community to serve a land that he loved. Today, a new foreigner humbly accepts the charge and support of serving a community that he loves. Hopefully, he won't disappoint.
Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a vote of (47/0/1). The trust bestowed upon me by the community is one of the most touching honours that I have ever received, and I vow not to let you down. Whether you have suggestions for ways in which I could improve, a request for assistance or just need someone to listen, my talk page and my email are always open. I pledge to do what I can to help this project, in the words of a man who needs no introduction, "make the internet not suck." A special thank you goes out to Tim Vickers for nominating me. Cheers, CP 23:04, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi; thanks for your support to my RfA, which closed successfully at (51/1/2). I'll keep this brief since I don't like spamming anyone: I'll work hard to deserve the trust you placed in me. Thanks again. — Coren(talk) 23:34, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Would you mind helping to watch MTR and to a lesser extent Octopus card for Toyotaboy95's edits? I know he's making good faith edits, but I don't think he's familiar with the importance of providing sources and abiding by WP:MOS. Both of those articles are FA status and it would be a pity to see them demoted. I left a message on his Talk page.[2]Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 07:44, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you, Mailer diablo, for participating in my RFA, which passed 35/1/0. I look forward to helping out. If you have any concerns or suggestions/advice, my talk page is always open.—Random832 14:16, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
I was clearing out closed AfD's from the Bio category when I found an open AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ben Rudnick. The article had already been deleted, so I checked its log - and found that you had deleted it on 13 November per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BenRudnick. Note the space in the name. It looks like the nominator created this AfD twice (within the same minute, no less), and only one was closed. Both had delete votes, and there was no support at all for keeping the article, but I though I'd mention the duplicate debate to you, since you were the closing admin. If it were to go to DRV for some bizarre reason, I figured you'd want to know what happened. I non-admin closed the dupe, noting the debate you closed.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Adtranz.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Dream out loud (talk) 07:15, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

You voted for one of my prior proposals to institute a List of the Day Proposal. I may have already alerted you to an experiment I am conducting at WP:LOTD. Now that the experiment is running I can point out the benefits to the project of the method I am experimenting with that other alternatives don't offer. First, there is a set of orphaned articles for persons who do not have any featured lists of their own or persons that would like to take responsibility for more. Anyone can nominate such orphans. This benefits WP by getting people involved in list articles that might not have active editors to update them or defend them against vandalism. Please consider adopting one of our orphans.
There are several other advantages that will improve the project:
Each list will be encouraged to respond to commentary and feedback during the candidacy period, which will hopefully improve the quality of the articles.
Articles without pictures will be encouraged to find them. E.g., List of Harry Potter films cast members had no image before its nominator added an image for this experiment. This type of thing, of course, improves the project.
Articles are encouraged to add relevant projects to their talk page. This alerts other project to articles that they would likely have an interest in and would be able to either improve or protect.
Again come by and consider adopting one of our orphans this month or in future months either adopt an orphan or give feedback on the candidates.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 17:25, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a vote of (53/0/1).
As a token of my appreciation, please accept this bowl of tzatziki.
I feel honored to be trusted by so many of you. Wikipedia is such a large community, that my acceptance in the face of such large numbers truly is humbling. I will use my new tools to continue the tasks for which you entrusted them to me.

...for helping me navigate the waters of my surprisingly peaceful RFA, which closed successfully with 85 supports, 1 oppose, and 0 neutral.
I would particularly like to thank Acalamari and Alison, my nominators, and everyone who watched the page and ran the tally.
If you hate RfA thankspam, Mailer Diablo, please forgive me. I promise I won't block you in retaliation for deleting it ;-)
If there is anything I can do to be of service in the future, please feel free to contact me.
And forgive me if I need a Wikibreak now and then (like now. I'm exhausted!). You wouldn’t want to see me climbing the Reichstag, now would you?
Off to flail around with my new mop! (what?!)
