It's a good idea to press the "Show preview" button before saving. Your edits to the [[Sicilian Defense]] left it with two introductions, two sections on the Najdorf and so on [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sicilian_Defence&oldid=12557636]. It is now corrected. [[User:Sjakkalle|Sjakkalle]] 07:54, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, you <nowiki>{{test}}</nowiki>'d me on my talk page... I know you removed it shortly thereafter, but may I ask why you originally placed it? Just curious. :P &mdash; [[User:Flamingspinach|flamingspinach]] | [[User_talk:Flamingspinach|(talk)]] 01:53, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)

==Why obscure a photo?==

"''previous content was unverifiable''" - OK, fair enough.  

But we're left with "''for security reasons''" which means nothing at all.  A 'weasel phrase'.  In real life, you never do something 'for security reasons'.

e.g. when you go on holiday you don't tell your kids to "turn the TV off for security reasons" you say 'turn it off lest it catch fire.'  You don't lock your door for security reasons, you lock it to stop burglars getting in.  And you don't pixelate a photo for security reasons, you do it to stop somebody deriving information that you're worried about them knowing.  Everything has a reason.  

So either we have a reason for the pixelated photos or we don't.  "Security" isn't a reason.  Maybe "..has been pixelated for fear of people seeing it" or nothing at all would be better.  [[User:Ojw|Ojw]] 6 July 2005 20:06 (UTC)

== Thankyou ==

Dear Gblaz,
Thanks very much for your introductory info. I feel confident I wil get involved with Wikipedia.[[user:jazborocketman]]

==Thanks==
Hey, thanks for the intro stuff. I've read most of it off of the frontpage links but it's useful to have on hand.[[User:Existentializer|Existentializer]] 15:31, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

== RI 138 and Jamestown Bridge ==

Thanks for adding an article about the Jamestown Bridge.  I added some categories to it just for clarity.  Also, thanks for editing the RI 138 article to fix the link.  Cheers! --[[User:K1vsr|K1vsr]] 20:18, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

==[[Dirty joke]]==
The article was repeatedly vandalised by [[User:24.98.36.103]].  However, I see no reason why, with proper support, it cannot grow into an adequate entry. VfDing is, I feel, premature.[[User:jasonglchu|jglc]] | [[User talk:Jasonglchu|t]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jasonglchu|c]] 14:20, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

=="newcomers"???==
Thanks for your welcome-message, but do you '''really''' think that someone who has started '''11''' articles is still a "newcomer"?? [[User:DelftUser|DelftUser]] 18:59, 2005 July 22 (UTC)
:Plus instead of copy/pasting the information you can just use the <nowiki>{{welcome}}</nowiki> template, as you can see at my [[User talk:DelftUser|talk]] page. [[User:DelftUser|DelftUser]] 19:03, 2005 July 22 (UTC)

==[[Off-color humor]]==
I echo your sentiments, and wish you the best of luck.  This could have been really ugly and ''ad hominem'', but we kept it clean (no pun intended), and I think things got sorted out to everyone's satisfaction.  I look forward to continuing to contribute and build the article. [[User:jasonglchu|jglc]] | [[User talk:Jasonglchu|t]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jasonglchu|c]] 20:54, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my user page. [[User:Bobbybuilder|Bobbybuilder]] 08:56, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
==Quick==
Gblaz, you left me a message on my talk page that I had listed a page for VfD but hadn't completed all the steps.  I was in the middle of doing so when you left me the message.  That was a quick pick-up! [[User:Chuckstar|Chuck]] 21:44, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

==Canderson7's RFA==
Thanks for supporting my RFA, I really appreciate it!  If you ever need administrator assistance as part of your own anti-vandalism efforts don't hesitate to let me know. --[[User:Canderson7|Canderson]]'''[[User_talk:Canderson7|7]]''' 17:00, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

==Thanks==
Hey Gblaz, thanks for instantaneously reverting the vandalism on my talk page. Cheers, --[[User:MarkSweep|MarkSweep]] 05:58, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

==Thanks==
Thank you for your vote of support on my recent [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Longhair|RfA]]. I was quite surprised by the amount of support I received, and wish to extend my thanks to you for taking the time to support my nomination for adminship. -- [[User:Longhair|Longhair]] | [[User talk:Longhair|Talk]] 12:19, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Hey, Gblaz,

Thanks for supporting my RFA. :) [[User:Kmccoy|kmccoy]] [[User_talk:Kmccoy|(talk)]] 03:50, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

== Thanks for your support ==

Thank you for supporting my recent RfA. I was surprised and humbled by the number of positives votes.  I'll be monitoring RfA regularly from now on and will look for a chance to "pay it forward". Cheers, --[[User:MarkSweep|MarkSweep]] 02:10, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

==Thanks!==

That doggone "Sir Ducksworthy" is toast.  It's some idiot kids in Australia working from a school proxy.  I finally had to block them from my own e-mail!  Permanently blocked.  I'l worry about "paperwork" later. - [[User:Lucky 6.9|Lucky 6.9]] 00:15, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

== My RFA ==

[[Image:WikiThanks.png]] Thanks for your support. I've now been made an administrator. I'll do my best not to let you down :) --[[User:Sherool|Sherool]] <span style="font-size:75%">[[User talk:Sherool|(talk)]]</span> 02:45, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
