I was just going to say I loved your Broadband page. Very impressive. Then I noticed you're a kiwi!! I'm from Wellington, but am living temporarily in Oz for quite a while now. Cheers, kia ora!

Thanks!Jimjilin (talk) 19:36, 22 March 2013 (UTC) Question on As/400 Edit today Just curious you left the phrasing of renaming but then referred to it as rebranding, shouldn't they both be written to match? Just curious, and I don't disagree with your addition just having a difficulty with the way it reads in total. Dpalme (talk) 02:20, 22 April 2012 (UTC) Please stop undoing stuff Why are you discriminating again the free community, ski-forums.com when commercial sites such as SkiReport.com, SkiBonk.com, www.abc-of-skiing.com, snow-forecast.com, and more are left untouched????????????? --- please block my ip --- Heya Sango! Hi, it is me, Spawn Man the humble yet really great & awesome! ;) Anyway, I have a question. How the heck do you get screen shots saved onto your hard drive? This is what I've done so far: 1)Taken screen shot using PRINT SCREEN or ALT+PRINT SCREEN. 2)Been able to paste it to a WORD document. I wanna be able to paste it to one of my drives, such as C: drive. Then I would be able to edit it, then upload it onto Wikipedia etc. But so far I can only get it onto a stupid word document. Any info would be great, as I notice you have a couple of screen shots on your user page. Thanks Sango! Spawn Man 00:23, 21 September 2006 (UTC) Try pasting it into the paint program in Windows. Then it can be saved in any "standard" format. meshach 00:06, 1 October 2006 (UTC) This question has already been addressed, but thanks anyway, Meshach. :) Sango123 02:05, 1 October 2006 (UTC) Thanks!! For your help on the article that I mentioned to you earlier. Footnotes and References are a complicated portion of Wikipedia to me right now, so I appreciate you helping clear it up! You are the best, why cant every admin be as helpful as you? If you need anything PLEASE let me know! Thanks again for all your help.

Flabreque 23:58, 21 September 2006 (UTC). Hiya again! Hiya again! Hiya again Sanngo! I was wondering, if you had time of course, if you could change the GA picture here to the same background as my user page. If you did everything the same as when you converted the FA star (casue the colour there was better), then that would be awesome! I'd ask for the A-class & B-class too, but there aren't any pics for those lol! Thanks Sango. You rock! Spawn Man 05:20, 22 September 2006 (UTC) Exce-al-lento! Thanks once again Sango... Gosh at this rate, you should be an admin! Oh darn, too late.... ;) -- Spawn Man 10:29, 23 September 2006 (UTC) User boxes: Hi Sango! I have a query, if you're available or something... On my user page I've started experimenting with a new user box section underneath my "about me" section. However, I can't seem to get 3 columns running down. For example: User boxes ---------- [] [] [] In case my awesome graphics rendering awed you too much ;) then you should know that the little suares were supposed to express small columns of user boxes. If you could help in any way, I'll do the adding user boxen part if you create the column outer shell using the example user boxes there, then I can then add the rest my self. I'm trying to spruce it up so I can get like an award for the deisng or something, if you can actually get those? In any case, this is only if you have time. I'm so sorry for bothering you all the time with user page fixes & changes. I'll get out of your hair if you ask.... Sorry, Spawn Man 10:49, 24 September 2006 (UTC) Ohmigod, you rock For being an awesome friend, an awesome designer & for being awesome in all your awesomeness, I give you your own Graphic Design star! -- Spawn Man 23:36, 24 September 2006 (UTC). Thanks you soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much Sango for everything you've done for me. If there is anyway I can repay you I will gladly comit hari kari or something. You have my friendship forever & I promise I wont bother you ever again... Thanks so much Sango! Spawn Man 23:36, 24 September 2006 (UTC) Except for saying, what the hecks going on there, about my user boxes. They're sorta going all over the place for no reason, & I'm kinda confused. If you could swing me in the right direction I will do the work... Spawn Man 01:02, 25 September 2006 (UTC) I'm thinking, maybe I should delete the user boxen, as they seem to be causing too much trouble? Your recent edit to my page is sort of wierd cause the user boxes are down the bottom? Do think it would be better if I simply deleted them? Thoguhts... Spawn Man 02:10, 25 September 2006 (UTC) You seem to have fixed them now though... :). I really wish I was as skilled as you with your html. And ohmigod, why are you on here fixing my crap when it's your birthday? Shouldn't you be out with your family & friends at a steak house or something before seeing a birthday movie? Spawn Man 02:12, 25 September 2006 (UTC) Happy Birthday Happy birthday dear Sango and many more to come :) Dakota 20:09, 24 September 2006 (UTC) Happy Birthday wishes again!

Sorry I couldn't get you the big scrumptious cake Dakota sent you, but I do have a slice of authentic Viennese cake of the highest quality. Enjoy! :D —Mirlen 21:05, 25 September 2006 (UTC) Thanks for the cake, Sango — it was a favor that needed naught to be returned, but thank you! It's really good to hear from you again! Reality-wise, school's started and keeping me busy, but generally I'm alright. Wikipedia-wise, I'm trying to find time to start on the tasks I've set up for myself. How is it over from your side — taking care of yourself (both reality and Wikipedia-wise)? —Mirlen 03:41, 26 September 2006 (UTC) Aw, thanks Sango! It wasn't required to remember my birthday, I didn't make it public info, so you didn't need to get a gift, but I appreciate your delicious ice cream. I will eat it while doing the math homework I'm supposed to be doing right now. :P (But yeah, I'm doing the same — editing bits of Wikipedia between homework time; multi-tasking you might say, but for a very short while though.) —Mirlen 02:02, 27 September 2006 (UTC) A happy 15th birthday Sango, here's a flower I brought from the garden - the only one available.Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 23:47, 25 September 2006 (UTC) Happy Birthday from me as well! *desperately tries to shove his message around or through the clutter of images* EWS23 (Leave me a message!) 04:14, 26 September 2006 (UTC) Mr. Lefty's RfA thanks Hi, Sango, and thanks for supporting me in my recent request for adminship, which succeeded with a final tally of 70/4/4.

File:Green Lemming.JPG The green lemming, but this can double as a birthday wish! Hiya Sango. Per the discussion at the Esperanza coffee lounge, we've thoguht to make an Esperanza mascot. I came up with the idea of a lemming (plus my fave pic on wikipedia!), & I even tried to colour it green! Not very well though! Anyway, I was wondering, after your birthday, you might be interested in placing the Esperanza logo on the lemming's belly etc so that it can be used as an official logo. Thanks Sango & have a very happy birthday too! Spawn Man 04:24, 26 September 2006 (UTC) Awesome again. Hopefully ESP will accept it... Spawn Man 23:49, 27 September 2006 (UTC) Hey!

Have a ncie day! -- Spawn Man 10:39, 26 September 2006 (UTC) Mahawiki Hi dear Admin, This is to bring to your notice the wiki-feud I've been having with User:Mahawiki for almost one month now. It started with the Belgaum page which went to mediation, warnings were handed out to both parties, and when Mahawiki's incivil ways continued, Admin:Bluyugen handed him a warning and then a block. Find that [1]. I do not want to turn the clock back and go through all those content disputes again. Infact, I dont want to present to you the details of any content dispute we've had. All I want to present to you is the brazen incivility and personal attacks being committed by User:Mahawiki either in the course of his content disputes or even simply just out of spite. All the diffs(exhibiting his incivility and personal attacks) I provide below are from AFTER, I REPEAT, "AFTER". ADMIN BLUGYUEN INTERVENED, WARNED ALL OF US, AND HANDED MAHAWIKI A BLOCK. Please find below dozens of instances of blatant incivility and personal attacks by User:Mahawiki either on me or on User:Dineshkannambadi and all Kannadigas in general. His remarks are in extremely bad taste and counterproductive resulting in undermining of the good faith efforts of the other editors to carry on editing their articles. While I dont want to go into each and every diff and explain it, just to give you a sample of his incivility, he has made edits where, even if only in jest or sarcasm, he makes atrocious claims like, I am on a kill Mahawiki mission, that User:Dineshkannambadi is the Kannada (Bin) Laden(sic). In another edit, even if only for jest(which I certainly dont find amusing nor appreciate esp., when it comes from him), he has threatened to sue me. He has called us cultural TERRORISTS, losers, notorious, shameless etc., etc. He uses the word vandalism like one would use 'Hi' and 'Hello'. Find all the above and much much much more in the diffs I've provided below. Whats worse is his antics are going unchecked because Admin:Blugyen who knows about our feud is on a wikibreak and Admin:Sundar whose intervention I've sought more than once, is busy with other things(I presume, in real life) - which ofcourse, I dont hold against either of them. But wikipedia will be a poorer place if brazen incivility like this goes unchecked for weeks simply because many admins dont know about it or the ones who know are by force of circumstances, too busy to deal with it. I request immediate and harsh action on Mahawiki. Once again, let me remind everyone that in the links below, none of them pertain to any content disputes. I belive in dealing with the content disputes on the relevant talk pages and dont usually bring it out on user talk pages. Infact, I have even not listed below, the atrocious claim he made a couple of days ago that I had deleted and later undeleted an article. Also not listed below is his blatant removal of {{fact}} tags I had added in a couple of articles without even clarifying or providing a citation for the claim which I had tagged. Also not listed below may be umpteen other instances of incivility and npa violations on his part that I might have missed. All the diffs below deal purely and only with his brazen incivil comments and personal attacks not just on me, but on User:Dineshkannambadi and also highly respected historians like Mr. Suryanath Kamath et al(who have been cited in some articles by Dinesh) whom he has trashed and dismissed in the most uncivil manner possible. Apart from this he also makes disparaging remarks on Karnataka and Karnataka politicians who he keeps claiming are oppressing and torturing Marathi speaking people in Belgaum. This is not a content dispute, this is plain nonsense and insanely belligerent language. His incivility apart, he has made it a habit and a routine to go around all over wikipedia branding me and Dinesh as 'Kannadi' vandals bent on Kannadizing all articles we touch. Ask him if we have included any uncited material or if we has ever cited any references for his numerous claims or whether he has taken it up on the article talk page instead of on a random user talk page. His answer will be negative. And yet, that doesnt stop him from going around shouting that we have been vandalising articles!! Anway, I dont want to veer this towards the 'content disputes' which is a whole different matter altogether. Content disputes can always be discussed and agreements reached. Let me present to you just his brazen incivility and personal attacks. Here we go - [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] Sarvagnya 22:20, 26 September 2006 (UTC) Happy Birthday For your birthday I give you this collection of handy razors to keep any awful stubble abroad!

The name literally translates into "thousand leaves" or "thousand layers", referring to the many layers of thin pastry that make up the desert. I guess the concept is something like baklava, but with an entirely different taste. They seem to call this dessert a "Napoleon" in the U.S. for some reason. I appreciate your gift, and its no-guilt, virtual calorie content. Thanks again! --Kyoko 19:31, 29 September 2006 (UTC) Happy very belated birthday Sango!

Because of the grounds that it was some kind of ad or whatever, an IRC network (and actually more community serving than many other IRC networks.....!!!). This has no grounds totally. Did you notify that there are many Wikipedia articles on IRC networks?? See the link: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Category:IRC_networks Please be consistent and delete all of them. Or bring the Umbranet article back. I wonder why you didn't brought up any further arguments and deleted because of a few people more voted for removal? Can you please bring undo this, or be consistent with all wikipedia articles related to IRC? Because there are much networks which are in here for ad-reasons. Umbranet merely contained information (just compare the pages..) and was linked with the bands (Epica, Afterforever, Within Temptation) which you BTW can verify on their official pages etc. I like to state that there was absolutely no ground for deleting this article and I'd like to see it back. Preferrably by undo, so I don't need to recreate and fill up the info. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.28.202.244 (talk • contribs) 13:41, 30 September 2006.

After some discussion about changing the name of the "Working Man's Barnstar" to something gender inclusive, we realized that there is not much distinction between "Working Man's Barnstar" and the "Barnstar of Diligence". In order to avoid an overly-PC rename of "Working Man's", and given that there's not much difference between the two anyway, I thought it'd be best to conflate the two awards and have only "The Barnstar of Diligence." Your opinion on the matter would be much appreciated! The discussion can be found here. Cheers! -- Merope Talk 17:44, 10 October 2006 (UTC) Userbox Categorization Hello yet again, Sango! I recently created the template {{User:Jitterro/Userboxes/NationStates}}, and I've been able to format it so that any page posting the userbox gets added to Category:Wikipedians who play NationStates; however, when I checked the category itself, neither the template nor any user posting it was listed (I have the userbox on my own userpage, and I wasn't in the category). Is there any way to fix this so that users actually get added automatically to the category? Thanks much! --Jitterro 23:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC) red & blue? Hi Sango - You kindly left a welcome message on my page a year ago and it has taken me this long to get back to you. Can you tell me why my name stays eternally printed in red - and others are blue? Many thanks. - douga6 could you beautify my talk page? Hi Sango, I was wondering if you could work your magic on my talk page? Looking at it, it seems so plain compared to my userpage and other people's talk pages. I love the purple/pink/lilac scheme of my userpage, and I was hoping to have that on my talk page as well. One possible complication would be the Macintosh WikiProject box, which is, well, boxy. No need to hurry on this request. BTW, I made my very first userbox today, celebrating my love for stuffed animals! I hope that you are well. Thanks, --Kyoko 21:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC) Another request: I've noticed that on my userpage, the top two boxes (talking about depression and useful links) are just a few millimetres longer than everything else. I've never noticed that before, and I don't know if that's something that everybody sees, or just me on my display. When you can, could you please fix this too? I know that you must be busy, and as usual, there's no rush. I hope you're OK. --Kyoko 02:24, 19 October 2006 (UTC) Hi Sango, through considerable trial and error, I've managed to make my talk page look like my main userpage.

It was in August and yesterday i created the article again to see what would happen, i woke up this morning to find it deleted. I understand that you did not delete it this time, someone else did, but i am sure if you had not deleted it in the first place, they would of not done this time. The game itself is very good, and fun to play, and a lot of people have called for a Wiki article again recently. So i made one. You say it does not get good enough hits with google, but, infact, it has gained about 10000 more hits since when you checked it, and if you take the " " out, you end up getting about 300000 hits. I understand that you say this is because of managers, but this is really only because of the coincidence of them being named similar. Other games like Hattrick are unigue, so get no other hits. And i am sure that if it was not named like this, it would get more hits. Basically, what i am asking, is for you to give the article a chance, lots of people will enjoy reading it. ) Swarfliam 15:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC) Replied to the user on their talk page.

I haven't been on Wikipedia so much in recent months, but I still dip in from time to time. I've just noticed that they've extended the editor with some new buttons. One of the is "line break" and adds <br /> tags to the article. I've just encountered a new user who has used loads of <br /> tags in an article, making the layout look very untidy. I think the new editor is to blame for this. I don't see any need to use line breaks except in very rare occasions when the layout needs tweaking, and then I think advanced users are capable of entering it by hand. All the button does is encourage users to use line breaks instead of paragraphs or some other sort of Wiki formatting. Where can I take up issues such as this? Who decides on changes to the Wikipedia site itself, as opposed to content? Mant thanks, JRawle (Talk) 21:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC) A request for assistance Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 05:02 3 January 2007 (UTC). Sango123 has not edited in awhile.

The department is heavily backlogged with student's requests for coaches, and we need your help! Note that the instructions may have changed since the last time you checked, and the department now follows a self-help process... If you don't currently have a student, or if you believe you can handle another one, please select a student from the request list at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests and contact them. See the instructions on Wikipedia:Admin coaching. Good luck. If you are no longer available to coach, , please remove yourself from the volunteers list. Thank you.

As a result, you will become automatically desysopped because of your inactivity. To prevent this problem, you must have recent edits less than 6 months on your contributions. Thank you. This message was sent by Wikipedian, — zero » 23:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC) What the...? Majorly (o rly?) 00:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC) Ditto(?) — MalcolmUse the schwartz! 00:05, 30 March 2007 (UTC) I'm not aware that this is actually done. There had been a discussion on one of the admin boards about whether or not to desysop inactive admins (I forget which page, and I'm not motivated to search), and I think it was ultimately decided that it doesn't do any harm to allow the inactive editors to retain their admin status. -- Kyoko Um, if you should happen to come across any current discussions on the issue, can you drop a line on my talk page? If the point of becoming an admin really is simply to have access to tools that help them improve wikipedia, then I don't see how inactivity would make them suddenly unqualified to keep such tools...

Well, you turned 16 recently I hope... I hope all is well with you and your family. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:35, 27 September 2007 (UTC) WOAH! THANKS! well... I recently logged into my account for the first time in ages - to find an amazingly designed userpage and the message ..."This userpage was designed by the wonderfully pleasant and talented Sango123 and modified for me by the sneaky code thief Naha."... I dont know if this was with or without your permittion but... THANKS!! (btw you might wanna look into the whole 'sneaky code theif' guy •Zhuge Liang• [Chat] 18:31, 22 October 2007 (UTC) Hi ZLiang, the code for your new userpage was originally created by Sango (I found it on another person's user page), so I felt it apppropriate to credit her for that. That being said, and not for the sole reason of being a "credit hog," but more for the purpose of clarification because Sango might be confused about this, I was the one who overhauled your userpage, not Sango. I left a lengthy explanation for the re-design on your talk page which I guess you somehow missed. Also, I'm not a "guy" and the reason behind the line about being a "sneaky code theif" was two fold: 1) I did borrow the wonderful code from Sango for your page and 2) it was an attempt at humor because I redesigned your page as a surprise for you, without asking (and was praying you would like it and not be mad) ..again, this is also explained on your talk page. I guess I'm a tad hurt too, as I've been waiting for ages for you to log back on to find out if you like your userpage and Sango (who is very deserving of it, don't get me wrong) was the sole reciever of your thank you message. While I don't do it for the "thanks" (but rather when I get tired of normal editing, I need a "fun" project for a change of pace ..and what better way than to pimp a userpage for someone "in need"), it would be nice to be at least acknowledged I guess.

Collectonian (talk) 07:25, 9 December 2007 (UTC) Ren Sohma A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ren Sohma, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Ren Sohma.

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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.

I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged. If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:46, 1 May 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7.

Kelly hi! 09:47, 22 December 2010 (UTC) Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new WP:RFA.

Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

However, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure all media on English Wikipedia is correctly licensed and attributed it would be appreciated if you were able to confirm some details, If it's your own work, please include {{own}}, amend the {{information}} added by a third party, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant. You can also add |claimed=yes to the {{media by uploader}} tag if it is present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the {{information}} where appropriate). If it's not your own work please provide as much sourcing/authorship information as you are able to.
