Fair use images in userspace[edit]
I've removed some fair use images from User:Phoenix-wiki/Workshop/1, as they are prohibited per WP:NFC. Thanks, Qst 22:55, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Re. Barnstar[edit]
Wow thank you! I'll put it on my userpage :) Redrocketboy 21:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I had to remove the references to answers.com and Wiktionary on said article, as they are user submitted websites, and not considered to be reliable. Thanks. Redrocketboy 22:08, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Answers.com is an exact duplicate of Wikipeduia, and wikitionary is reliable as all definitions there should be referenced. Qst 15:47, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- I could very well go and edit Wiktionary right now, to make it say something different. Thus, unreliable. Redrocketboy 15:49, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, indeed — however Wiktionary, like Wikipedia is an open project, thus meaning they follow the same policies about referencing as we should. Wiktionary is a reliable source, in my view. Anyway, never mind :) Qst 16:42, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- I could very well go and edit Wiktionary right now, to make it say something different. Thus, unreliable. Redrocketboy 15:49, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Great success![edit]

Dear Pheonix-wiki,
Thank you for your participation in my request for adminship, which ended successfully with a final tally of (52/10/1). I was impressed by the thoughtful comments on both sides, and the RFA process in general. The extra buttons do look pretty snazzy, but I'll be careful not to overuse them. If you have advice to share or need assistance with anything, feel free to drop me a message or email. Thank you and good day! Cordially, Credits - This RFA thanks was inspired by Carlosguitar's RFA thanks and LaraLove's RFA thanks, which were both inspired by The Random Editor's RFA thanks, which was in turn inspired by Phaedriel's RFA thanks. |

AWB edit summaries[edit]
Hello Phoenix-wiki. I just wanted to point out that AWB is using inappropriate edit summaries for the Russia articles you are currently creating. —Travistalk 16:08, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note. Somone pointed that out to me on irc, and I've fixed them for the next run--Phoenix-wiki talk · contribs 16:21, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Russia geo stubs[edit]
Please can you categorize them like I have done to Mazovo -either this or Category:Rural localities in Tver Oblast. Your're not even using the correct stub categories. See Template:Northwest-Russia-geo-stub etc. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 19:29, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- Phoenix, hi there! Why are you starting articles on microscopic towns and villages in Russia? Do you have a particular interest in them and plan to add more information or you just found some Encarta Atlas and decided to copy everything there is in it? No offense, I'm just curious. KNewman (talk) 20:14, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
RE:Your comments[edit]
Hey Phoenix. I've left some comments regarding your support in Jhfireboy's RFA. Regards, Rt. 20:28, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- Alright then. I appreciate your co-operation, because I know not every user would be so civil if another had voiced concern with an opinion. All the best, Rt. 20:59, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- That is very kind of you, and I appreciate the offer. However, I am currently under the wing of Rlevse, as my admin coach, and I'd like to wait until 3 months have passed since my RFA in October. But I'd be happy to let you do a co-nom. If you want, that is. :) Regards, Rt. 21:16, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Your bot[edit]
I had to block your bot. Please see User_talk:Phoenix-bot#Russian "towns" for details. Thanks.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 17:46, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- What did you block my bot for? I stopped it running three days ago, and it won't be run again because another user convinced me it was a bad idea. It hasn't edited for three days and there was no threat of anything happening. Please unblock it, it was in trial at the time and I'm not going to get it approved but I might want it for another task at another time--Phoenix-wiki talk · contribs 17:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- Blocking was just an emergency precaution in case the bot started to run again. It is now unblocked. Thanks for your prompt reply. If you plan to continue running the bot for this task in future, please let me know—I may be able to provide a few pointers so this disaster does not happen again (did you know that there are close to 200,000 inhabited localities in Russia? Boy am I glad your bot only created a few dozen stubs :)) Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:01, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

RFA[edit]
Hey Phoenix, just to let you know that Question 6 on Camaron1s RFA, isn't completed. :) (And by the way, I'll be undergoing my second experience there next month, so watch out for it!) Regards, Rt. 12:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

An Administrator is I![edit]
.svg)
Adventurer! The Council has identified a number of strange occurrences (such as "vandals" and "articles for deletion") in the surrounding wilderness. The Council would check it out, but they have important Councily-type things. But never fear: brave adventurers known as "sysops" roam the lands!
Thank you for your support in my quest to become a sysop. Although I am now wielding the keys to my very own Bitchin' Meatcar, I promise to uphold the laws of the land, martini in hand, in a way that would make Saint Sneaky Pete proud. I will do my best to be a Jack of Several Trades (although I may be a Master of Nuns). I promise to Heart Canadia. And I will make it my goal to Make War, Not ... er, Wait, Never Mind.
I am glad to serve my guild, the League of Wikipedians. If I can be of any assistance, or you have any questions, suggestions, or criticisms in the future, please let me know. And if you are at a loss for what any of the above actually means, see this website.
Thanks again.

RfA thanks[edit]
Dear Phoenix-wiki, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind support on my request for adminship which succeeded with a final result of (72/19/6).
Now that I am a sysop, do not hesitate to contact me with any queries you have. I would be glad to help you along with the other group of kind and helpful administrators.
Thank you again and I look forward to editing alongside you in the future. — E talk 12:38, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
League of Copyeditors roll call[edit]
|
Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there. The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors. |

Persecution of early Christians by the Jews[edit]
I noticed you participated in the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Historical persecution by Jews (2nd nomination) discussion and I thought you might be interested in participating in a similar debate over at Talk:Persecution of early Christians by the Jews. Feel free to come by and contribute your thoughts. - CheshireKatz (talk) 20:11, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your support in my successful RFA. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 07:20, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
