Thank you very much[edit]

Hi Phaedriel (or do you prefer to be called Sharon on-wiki?), thank you very much for the lovely card that you left on my talk page! What a nice, sunny sight to see in the morning! Thank you also for your kind e-mail, I will try my best to send a reply sometime today! --Kyoko 13:08, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think you'll find she likes to be called Shazza, Kyoko ;) (ah, Kyoko, one of my favourite names :)). Anyrode, I replied on my talk page Shazza, just in case you don't have it watchlisted... --kingboyk 13:23, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations[edit]

Hello Sharon and good to see you well. All the best. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:08, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to see you back[edit]

Hello[edit]

I'm sending you an email. I noticed you were back, lovely to see you I've heard a lot about you :-) (all good of course). We haven't met of course since I joined the project after you took your break. Anyway congratulations and I look forward to future interaction with you. WjBscribe 12:12, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

...a star for you...[edit]

You've probably got a bundle of these around, and you're probably sick of them, but what the heck...

The Original Barnstar — for your highly informative and helpful advice, delivered in a kind, friendly and civil manner, I, Anthony, award you, Phaedriel, the Original Barnstar!

Hey bud, you stole my line. :P — $PЯINGrαgђ 23:16, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back[edit]

Congrats. Please email registry information. (Yes, you do know me) -- Y not? 22:04, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delayed reply[edit]

You'll get an e-mail from me in the next day or two. In the meantime, thank for your e-mail and for the lovely message you sent me. Musical L inguist 23:40, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wowies[edit]

I thought we had lost you forever! It's great to see someone like you back, it lifts everyone's spirits. -M^ask? 00:00, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're back, I'm gone...[edit]

Hi; noticed the flurry of welcome-back postings....so welcome back. But in the next couple of weeks I'll be pretty much disappearing from Wikipedia for a while, as real life calls and the impracticality of Wiki-ing several hours a day has finally hit home, as much fun as it's been (sometimes). FYI my work on BC First Nations articles has rolled onward, and some other contributors have taken up the bandwagon there on bringing BC up to speed in its coverage and article-content and organization; if you've any questions of needs about aboriginal or other article topics in BC, feel free to contact User:OldManRivers, who is Skwxwu7mesh, or User:Keefer4 or just make a post on the Wikipedia:WikiProject British Columbia talkpage. I'm sorry I'm not gonna be around, but what's gotta be is what's gotta be. Best wishes and all that, and maybe our digi-paths will cross again.Skookum1 02:09, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and just to thank you for the layout work you did long ago for the Indigenous peoples' project, which I've "lifted" and am trying to wangle onto a new userpage, which will be "up" once I'm gone; the text is still running but you can see a more-or-less recent photo of me (if 2001 is recent...) as well. Any tips on spiffing up the userpage layout appreciated, but I know you're a superbusy girl so no big deal if you can't take the time.Skookum1 08:42, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WELCOME BACK![edit]

We missed you. Raul654 02:54, 19 April 2007 (UTC) PS - Your baby is adorable.[reply]

Welcome back[edit]

I imagine you're sick of these by now, but here's another one anyway. :) I didn't know you too well before you left, but your reputation rather precedes you. I see it's very well-earned, and it's good to see you back. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 09:46, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

As I edit in a Wikiproject that is often plagued with drama, the way you show endless Wikilove towards me and every other editor you meet is something that I really appreciate. As a result, I present to you the Angel Heart barnstar as a token of my gratitude. Karrmann 11:10, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yet another header[edit]

Congratulations and welcome back! Whatever else is going on around here, Wikipedia just seems a brighter place with people like you around. the wub "?!" 11:34, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An e-mail[edit]

I hate pestering people about e-mail to no end, but I sent an e-mail to you about four or five days ago and I don't know if it went through. I use Yahoo, so if it did not I will be less surprised than if it did. — $PЯINGrαgђ 14:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I responded to you as well; don't worry. :) However, Phaedriel, I just wanted to say that you've been doing an excellent job since you returned. I just noticed your name show up in my watchlist for when you reverted the vandalism to Alison's talk page. :) Acalamari 16:21, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, you're doing a brilliant job. I can't decide who's doing better: you or Riana (I mean, you're doing such brilliant jobs... oh, I'm digging myself into a hole) Will ^{(I hope they cannot see, I AM THE GREAT DESTROYER!)} 16:29, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, Will, cut it off. ;) — $PЯINGrαgђ 16:17, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your e-mail was very touching, Sharon. I had a bit of trouble replying. ;) I'm sorry I bothered you about the last one. — $PЯINGrαgђ 16:17, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't forgotten your most recent e-mail, Sharon, it's just that I sometimes can't find the right words. Oh yeah, speechless is the word. ;) — $PЯINGrαgђ 19:07, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Soundtrack[edit]

Hey. Is this change okay? It's aesthetic only, but as it's in your userspace... Will ^{(I hope they cannot see, I AM THE GREAT DESTROYER!)} 16:40, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gift[edit]

Thanks for the gift :) — Deckill er 18:37, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A beauty[edit]

I find the sonnet is uncommon hard

To write the thing requires a bard

And life and web alike provide too few

For anyone to hope for three, or two.

Surprised I was and shocked I am still

The lady wrote not in iambs, but in dactyls!

Geogre 20:02, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We understand[edit]

I know that taking care of a newborn is a really tough job. Just know that the wikimunity is behind you on any impromptu wikibreaks you might have to take. I can't do much outside of the encyclopedia, but drop a note if you need help here. I'll be happy to do something for you. Best of health to you and your baby! The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 21:42, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you ...[edit]

... for reverting the vandalism on my talk page earlier. I don't think we've ever met before but your reputation precedes you :) Thanks again & welcome back - Alison^☺ 23:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Email alert[edit]

Now I'm giggling at the thought of the Crazy Frog saying that. Gosh Darn you to heck! :D Replied to both, and whacking Google Talk for being screwy. Will ^{(I hope they cannot see, I AM THE GREAT DESTROYER!)} 03:47, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jamesontai[edit]

Yeah I have no clue why but when I try to update something I see doubles on the page. It's not even actual doubles, I have my old version of the page on top and in a random cell of one of the userboxes my new code renders in that cell (so everything is in there twice...kinda) The only solution right now is to clear the page, save it, and paste the new code back in for it to not do that... hahaha it's one of those things where I'm fudging it so it kinda works. Do you have any clues as to why it's doing that? I'm still a beginner at inserting userboxes and tables etc. :) Thanks for paying attention to what I'm doing. Jameson L. Tai 10:16, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my... I love it! Thank you very much for helping me with my coding! :D I LOVE YOU! Jameson L. Tai 10:51, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Email[edit]

Hello, Sharon. No I did'nt receive your email. Sad, isn't it? :P Oh well, do you mind sending it to me again at here?. Cheers!--Tdx iang (Ta lk) 13:42, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yay![edit]

Well, I'm always the last to see these things, but your return is fantastic news! :) I wish there were a way for me to send the adorable new little one a couple dozen stuffed animals! ;) Happily, Xoloz 15:52, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the smile[edit]

Thanks for the note, it made me smile. Give her a hug for me, lil' sis. I sent you an e-mail. --rogerd 16:48, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Sharon, did you get a chance to reply to my e-mail yet? It's no big deal because I understand how busy you have been, and you have been getting a lot of attention since your return. The only reason I asked is because my e-mail is sometimes a little squirrelly. --rogerd 01:47, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that was quick, sis. I fully understand with a little one and I'll bet an unbelievable backlog. Love to you and the little one. --rogerd 01:57, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yay! pschemp | talk 18:38, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

I appreciate the flower! Our paths have never been crossed before, but I hope they will now :) Welcome back. Michaelas¹⁰ 18:48, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey!!![edit]

Oy nice to see you wonder by! Been a while, how are you? I have a few days off, and look at the first thing I do, I jump on the Wiki lol. :D Big smile for the return! KOS | talk 00:16, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats[edit]

Hiya, I don't think we've crossed paths, but word travels anyway, and I wanted to toss in my congratulations as well. A baby is a happy event not just for the proud parents, but for the entire community. Thank you for sharing with us. :) --El on ka 03:51, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey[edit]

Phaedriel, thank you for your lovely note, and congratulations and all my best wishes on the birth of your beautiful daughter! It's really nice to see you back here. :-) SlimVirgin ^(talk) 05:45, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you[edit]

Thank you Angel!
Few white roses for you [1] as a token of my respect to you.
All the best to you and your little princess.

Hi again[edit]

Hi Phaedriel, you've got mail :-) The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 18:05, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

many congratulations![edit]

She looks beautiful even in profile. I hope to be the father of a beautiful lady too some day - cherish every moment of her company before her hormones finally kick in :P Rama's arrow (just a sexy boy) 02:27, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear sweet Phaedriel[edit]

... I owe you a very long email. Thank you so much for the small gift - it was very timely indeed :)

When my daughter (now 8) was just born, a good friend sent me on the following poem & since then, it's been so special to me. Still makes me cry when I hear it. Passing it on to you ...

'S í bláth geal na sméar í,
's í bláth deas na sú craobh í,
's í plandra b'fhearr méin mhaith
le hamharc do shúl;
's í mo chuisle, 's í mo rún í,
's í bláth na n-úll gcumhra í.
is Samhradh ins an fluacht í
idir Nollaig is Cáisc.

She's the bright blackberry flower,
the fine raspberry-flower,
she's the plant of best breeding
your eyes could behold:
she's my darling and dearest,
my fresh apple-tree flower,
she is Summer in the cold
between Christmas and Easter.

- Anon. c.17th Century

Your email arrived this morning & I'm not sure how to reply though I've read it more than once. It was kinda timely. You are one of the world's truly lovely people - I'm lost for words. Will write later. Love, Allie :)

- Alison^☺ 04:58, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto to all. :) By the way, my mother sang that song to me as a young boy (with "he" of course)—I haven't heard it in more than a few years. :.) — $PЯINGrαgђ 05:38, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dia duit ar maidin! Gabh mo leithscéal, ach ba mhaith liom tagair do Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill. Tá sí file ar fheabhas a Gaeilge! Ar ndóigh, fáilte ó chroí a Phaedriel! Slán go fóill! gaillimh^{Conas tá tú?} 06:09, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LOL!! Tá gaelgóirí i ngach áit. Agus sin fíor, a Ghaillimh, mar 's maith liom an file sin freisin. Agus Í as Cúige Mumhan freisin :) Léigh an ceann seo - Alison^☺ 06:25, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back[edit]

Glad to see you're back. We (obviously all) missed you over here. :) —Pilot guy cleared for takeoff 13:47, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Belated welcome back :). It's nice to know that one of Wikipedia's most important contributors has returned. -- Where 17:17, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You.[edit]

Thank you for the beautiful picture. :) Acalamari 16:23, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am glad you like it. :) Acalamari 18:11, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Responded. :) Acalamari 19:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a short hello for now. Glad you are back! :-) --HappyCamper 19:37, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Belated welcome back![edit]

I really missed you and your cheerful attitude. And congratulations on your newborn! Миша 13 20:21, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This heading just about sums it up for me :-). I hope the baby isn't as bad as I (supposedly) was, I'm sure it won't be. Carrot Man 06:44, 25 April 2007 (UTC) p.s. Your page is murder for a 400 Mhz processor, there's so many welcomes![reply]

e-mail alert[edit]

Hi Sharon, thanks for the e-mail, I've replied. I guess you don't mind being told of e-mails, because everybody else seems to tell you of theirs. Have a good day! --Kyoko 21:07, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back![edit]

Hi Sharon, we haven't met, but I missed your warm and sunny manner when you were gone. You brighten Wikipedia for a lot of us, and I really admire your openness, your unabashed affection and your enthusiasm. Hoping that your little princess is doing well, Willow 03:35, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I too was going to post a welcome back message, but crikey! There's already enough of them to fill an entire archive! So, rather than clutter up an already busy page with more headers or pictures, I'll just say a simple "Good to see you again". Laïka (Smurrayinchester) 17:52, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've been fine; I've currently just finished getting winter service vehicle up to (hopefully!) FA status, but I've got A-levels coming up soon, so I'm trying to cut down on my Wiki-workload! I'm just curious; if you don't mind my asking, what's the meaning behind your username; I've always thought it one of the nicer and more distinctive ones. It's great to see you again! Laïka 19:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, my real user name is simply my name and location (Smurray in Chester, UK), but the name I use in my signature, Laïka, is taken from: the famous dog, a breed of really cute dog and one of my favourite songs. Laïka 20:03, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you're not busy...[edit]

...do you mind coming on Google Talk? I'm rather bored at the moment >_> P.S., I love what's in the sandbox. Will ^{(I hope they cannot see, I AM THE GREAT DESTROYER!)} 15:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
