Hello Phaedriel, would you mind semi-protecting my user page for a week please? An IP-hopping vandal I annoyed a few days ago and a troll have been hitting it, and I think a week's protection will be fine. Is that okay? Thanks. Acalamari 01:55, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you so much! :) I know I could do it myself, but there's something about protecting my own pages that I don't like. Anyway, thank you, and I loved your edit summary. :) Acalamari 02:00, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Just dropping a message to say hi :) Wizardman 01:56, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

If you would like to fix up my awards the way you did so there, you certainly can. i'd be honored. Wizardman 02:51, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Your webpage designs are awesome. As are all your extras (smiles and such). I read on your user page that you are not taking requests for user pages. However, it didn't say you weren't taking requests for other things. ;) Here's the thing—and if you don't have time or don't feel like it, I understand—my header is a mess. Looks terrible. I tried coding it to look right (I used the code from the smile poem you sent me (giving credit to you at the bottom, of course), but I couldn't get the header to look right. So that's my request. Just to make my header not look stupid! Thanks for the consideration, either way. :) LaraLove 03:33, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeahhhh... check it again, there's new mail ;) Sebi _[talk] 04:53, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

		A Wikihug for Phaedriel
		Because you are always helpful, always pleasant, always diligent, and because we'll get agreement before very long, I'm sure, please have a wikihug!  — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 06:27, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I thanked you on my page and I'll do so here as well. Thank you for touching up my user page. I'm hopeless with such things. It just took me an hour to add two citations to one stub article. . . Heaven help me if I should ever decide to try anything fancier. Cheers! Into The Fray ^T/C 06:52, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sharon. I noticed you used bgcolor="darkorange" in your current sandbox where you would be better served using an RGB color... some browsers may-well give you a color — mine did — but some may not and they may give different colors. See these: [2][3] --Jack Merridew 10:55, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Nice choice of Anne Brontë as well seeing as she's from God's Own County, my original home of Yorkshire. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 00:24, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, but I've no intention of staying. I've already had to deal with the same totally inconsistent actions from certain people. While biased power-crazed admins are more lenient to vandals and trolls than productive editors, I want no part of this place. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 12:15, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

You might want to check your inbox, and would you mind centering my userboxes for me, as I can't seem to do it. Here is the link User:The Random Editor/Userboxes. --Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor 13:29, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Never mind my userboxes. I did it. --Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor 14:39, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

		Angel Heart Barnstar
		I present to you, Phaedriel, this award for your kind heart, sweet messages, and willingness to help others always. You are the most gentle soul I've met on Wikipedia and believe angel wings upon your back and a halo atop your head are truly fitting. Thank you for all that you do here to ensure everyone else smiles. LaraLove 17:12, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

My Dear Sharon. Thank you so much for your wishes!! As usual my wife raised her eyebrows when I said I had a message from a beautiful Wikipedia contact! My and my family's love to you and yours. Pedro |  Chat  19:37, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sharon:

Not sure why this was protected--but then again, I have no issue with someone ranting on their own talk page...but it prevents the user from communicating with anyone about how to get unblocked or why they were blocked. Given that this directly relates to the subject of a biography of a living person--I think it's important that they understand our policies *before* they assist. I'm sending them an email with this in mind. Can I suggest you amend the page protection to something substantially shorter than indefinite, so they can determine how to become unblocked? Cary Bass ^demandez 20:12, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Very nice! Thanks! You caught me right in the middle of uploading some photos to the Commons :-) Happy editing! --Agüeybaná 21:43, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't even know where to begin thanking you...you are magnificent....Dreadstar † 22:46, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I already protected it, why did you extend it for a week? Just curious. Maxim_(talk) 22:45, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Come one, Sharon :D There was no need to change it back. So I wheel-warred. (In a joking way :D) (Actually three weeks was better, according to my mental calculations, which take into account when the protection expired and vandalism started. Maxim_(talk) 22:55, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

A little help, please? I tried and failed :-) --Agüeybaná 23:23, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks :-) --Agüeybaná 00:31, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Never mind the colour scheme - I made some changes to the page, and I love it now. Thanks for everything! Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 23:30, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

That is hilarious. I didn't realize I'd done that. I was chasing down a spammer and think I must have crossed paths with someone else that was chasing one. Naughty, naughty Twinkle. Your note me laugh out loud. My dog's looking at me like I'm a nutjob. Or nutjobbier than I ususally am. Still laughing, Into The Fray ^T/C 23:36, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

As you would say, dear Phaedriel, because I just sent off something else I forgot. Love, Kyoko 00:18, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not actually away, though I only occasionally make edits. I am a student and I need Wikipedia to check stuff often (sometimes as a dictionary), so I basically go on here almost everyday. There are many reasons I am not making a lot edits, including personal reasons and stress. But recently I just mentioned you here. I miss you too! How are you doing lately?

Best Wooyi^{Talk to me?} 00:33, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! Tomorrow should be your day...

Cheers, Lights (♣ • ♦) 01:20, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, my dear - you might check out the history on Gay pride - it seems a couple of admins disagree on protection length, and since you're involved, I thought you might want to have a look. - Philippe | Talk 01:32, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks, I appericate the help :) Question for ya, is it only Admins that can move pages and histories or can any user? I know anyone can move a page, but I am not sure if anyoen can move the history of a page.

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Thanks again and Take Care....NeutralHomer ^T:C 05:48, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks so much for fixing up my userpage! I'll expand the text as you suggest...it looks fantastic! Videmus Omnia ^Talk 12:35, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Phaedriel! You should've seen it coming, but here's another request for userpage redesign! :-) While I'm not too picky about colors (perhaps some neutral tones, I might tinker with the colors later), I would like a separate column for userboxes (like you have for the picture of yourself) on the side, a section to the left of that where I could put info or anything I had the need to put, and the WikiAd being on top of everything, but that should be inside the design, if you know what I mean. Take your time if you need to, I know you get these a lot. Cheers - IT'S DA...Ανέκδοτο 04:31, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

All righty, thanks for the consideration! By the way, if you take a look at NeutralHomer's billboard that he put on my userpage, is there some way you can incorporate it into the design? Thanks so much! IT'S DA...Ανέκδοτο 00:44, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Good to hear. I'm sure you'll find some creative way to get it in there :)

P.S. On your userpage redesign section, you haven't added me name on the "current requests" list. While I'm not fussed about it, it said to inform you, so I did! Cheers IT'S DA...Ανέκδοτο 22:57, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to pop in and say thank you. Your presence on Wikipedia seems to make everyones morale level increase, and I've noticed a trend where people are in a far better mood after an interaction with yourself. :) You've got a unique gift. Pursey ^{Talk | Contribs} 08:41, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Hrmmm, I seem to recall seeing something similar to this comment before... I wonder where that could have been... ^Ariel♥Gold 10:59, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Phae: Bonk! ^Ariel♥Gold 11:00, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

And thank you very much for the comments on my talk page :) Pursey ^{Talk | Contribs} 13:43, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I really liked your design, so I stole it. :D Now I don't have a redlink, but knowing myself, I might be impulsed to deleted, but who knows. Maxim_(talk) 01:19, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your offer :D. The reason I delete my userpage from time to time is because I want a redlink, but if I want a new design I know to whom to go : ) --Maxim_(talk) 01:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello again Ms. P.: First, let me thank you again for your lovely design for my page. I noticed today that several of the userboxes seem to be missing their images. What might have happened? This includes the screw-up-my-edits one that I just added...the image was there in the original but is gone on my page. Have you a theory? Merci beaucoup! --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 20:54, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello Sharon dear, I just happened to notice that you are busy. I hope all is well, and that you can find some peace in this hectic world. If you want to talk, you know where to find me! :) Drop me an email or message anytime! Here's some chocolate as a pick-me-up.

Love always, Neranei (talk) 21:32, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, you definitely deserve it, dear! (I am a chocaholic! :P) I also enjoy talking to you; will you be around? Love and Peace, Neranei (talk) 22:46, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'll be pleased to do it! (I may not be constantly checking Gmail, so could you please drop a note on my talk page, so I know you're there? Thanks!) Love, Neranei (talk) 22:50, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the barnstar, Phaedriel! Especially since it's so unique. :) I don't mean to bother you, but do you think that maybe if you have just a few minutes, that you could put a box around my header so that it fits in with the rest of the page? Not like Alison's, but rather that it's its own separate box, but still connected. No hurry at all, of course, just whenever you get a chance! Thank you again for the fantastic barnstar! GlassCobra 00:22, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

He left :-( Requiescat in pace. --Agüeybaná 00:29, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Requiescat in pace indeed. To use the local vernacular, this sucks! (Sorry, but it really does. ) This is a sad day. :( Love always, Neranei (talk) 00:45, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

On a happier note, congrats on becoming an admin at Simple! I was thinking of contributing to that Wiki, as the Puerto Rican-related articles there are... unsatisfying, to say the least. Happy editing, and I hope you reach him! --Agüeybaná 00:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Alex will be greatly missed. I was sad to see him go. He and I didn't always agree - who does? - but I respected him greatly. - Philippe | Talk 00:51, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

(ec with my dear Philippe) Friends, our dear Majorly's not dead, please, don't say that :( Time to learn what made him take this decision and offer him our support, shall we? And thank you, dear Eddie - we'll talk more about it later, I promise, because I'd love to show you the place around, and help you there (Neranei also edits a little at Simple ;) Alex is a delightful presence at Simple, so I really need to talk to him and see what's tormenting him... Love you all, Phaedriel - 00:53, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I certainly didn't mean to imply that he was dead. I just used that phrase because it's a prayer used so that the deceased may be peaceful and not in torment, which is in what he appears to be. I guess that shows how much I know about using Latin phrases, eh? :-) --Agüeybaná 00:58, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

My goodness, great minds think alike. I thought about asking you - I'm serious! I would love for you to do a re-design. Any way you like - it would be great to see what you come up with. I'm not wed to the images on there, either. --David Shankbone 05:19, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

• Just a note: the galleries to the different kinds of people I've photographed help me when I approach other people and point them to my work, so it might not be good to lose those. --David Shankbone 05:24, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

This page makes a case for Semi-Protection, not against it: Wikipedia:Main Page featured article protection, why use this page to deny it, when it makes the opposite case? WikiDon 05:51, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I thought only admins could move histories, but I wasn't quite sure. Either way, it worked out...many thanks. *in my best AOL Guy voice* "You've...Got...Mail". I already read (and saved) your email and have already sent you off a reply :) Take Care and Have a Good Day....NeutralHomer ^T:C 08:50, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Phaedriel! The new userpage is great! And the userboxes don't go way down the page now! It's great to see you back editing again. Thanks!, --(Review Me) R ^ParlateContribs_@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 11:23, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I see on your page that you're not currently taking requests: would it be best if I just keep checking back in until I see you are?--SarekOfVulcan 13:12, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, lovely. :-) Thanks! Let your imagination work, if you would: my favorite color is purple, but don't let that hold you back. :-)--SarekOfVulcan 22:57, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much! It was a very pleasant surprise. =) --Fang Aili ^talk 13:38, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

hi Sharon, I thought I would see you as the Queen of the World this time around, hope you'll be there very soon. Anyway, good news is I've managed a broadband. And wrote a DYK with it. But tell you what, I am missing that cell phone which I used to edit with. I hope you are OK. Take care of yourself, because if you do, you would take care the ones you love as well (sorry for the advice, I don't like them :( Regards --Tarif from Bangladesh 14:37, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Dear Tarif! :) What a wonderful surprise to receive your message and to know you're doing well, sweetie! It's wonderful to see you back editing, and even better that you'll be on more often and actively, thanks to your new connection - ain't technology wonderful? ;) I know that your new excellent achivement is but one more of many you've created, and taht you'll continue to weave in the future, for editors of your talent are rare indeed. And thank you for your kind thoughts, and your advices - I hope you take care of yourself too, you deserve all the goodness in the world :) Love, Phaedriel - 21:10, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I see! It looks great! Thank you, dear! :D GlassCobra 02:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

My dearest sweet Phaedriel, in one of the few, rare moments you have free, would you pretty please take a look at this edit summary? The page itself will be self-explanatory, but if you don't have time, just tell me, it is okay. It is something I've been struggling with for nearly 2 months now, so no real rush. ^Ariel♥Gold 19:08, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I was 10 seconds too slow to protecting that page! :) Acalamari 21:05, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

No, no, the one who's fast is Alison; I remember that after she became an administrator, other admins edit-conflicted with her there. :) As for my protection time, I normally do a month in cases like that, but if that's considered too long a time for incidents like that page, I'll give out shorter protections in future. I rarely do protections longer than a month anyway. Acalamari 21:16, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
