Sádar ý 2008! Happy New Year! --Uswibèta 09:35, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Good work

Just wanted to say good work around here. :-) I hope you will decide to contribute more often, but I know you're pretty busy, so I'll understand if you can't. Cheers! – RyanCross (talk) 03:54, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm hoping to expand my contributions to more projects, and I'm finding lots of areas to work my wikignome magic; I think I'll be around for a little while. ;) EVula // talk // 05:01, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Ah, good to hear. :-) – RyanCross (talk) 06:05, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

A well-deserved barnstar

Congratulations: You have been given a Barnstar! This is for all your hard work editing, especially with {{other wikis}}. ✼ American Eagle (talk) 00:05, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Haha, thank you! I think this might be my very first barnstar on a project other than the English Wikipedia. :D EVula // talk // 00:12, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

*Wonders why Special:GlobalBarnstar is redlinked* PeterSymonds (talk) 00:20, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Hahaha, that'd be an excellent global configuration to have. Now to go ask about it at bugzilla. ;) EVula // talk // 00:23, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Your article

Actually, all I did was use an en dash instead of a dash, added " " around the quote, change "compliment" (complex), and remove the extra Category:Greeks – all very minor fixes. The article was good, and you're welcome. ;) ✼ American Eagle (talk) 23:16, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Question

Hi, are there any articles that need creating before others because they are more important? Thanks. Yotcmdr 17:11, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Really, anything is of value; at Wikiquote:Simple talk#Statistics and Goals v.2, I suggested we focus on creating the articles found on {{USPresidents}}, since that would be a sure-fire way to make it to 300 articles. But any article is helpful. :) EVula // talk // 17:32, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Yotcmdr 17:35, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations! You are an administrator

I just closed your RfA as successful and made you an administrator. Congratulations! ☺Coppertwig(talk) 02:01, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations. :) Welcome to the team. — RyanCross (talk) 02:20, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Woohoo! Thanks to everyone that supported me. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 03:16, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, I guess I did all I could to stand in the way. But, you made it, congrats, EVula! (watches your every move, has WQ:AOR all written and read to go if need be ;) American Eagle (talk) 03:37, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Main Page On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, the Main Page was changed to this, which is now an archived copy. The design was decided upon here. Tweaked MoS The Manual of Style was changed. According to this discussion, we will no longer be linking the bolded title of a page to Simple English Wikipedia, and will be using {{other wikis}} Template final discussion The final discussion on what to do with {{needs translation}} is currently being decided. Please add your comments, and your vote here. Proposed shut-down It was proposed that Simple English Wikiquote be closed down, but don't worry, we aren't going anywhere! Note, from American Eagle: I realize that most of this is old news, but we might as well deliver it! If you'd like to write an article for The Wikiquote News, add a note about it on the talk page.		Unaccepted RfB RyanCross was offered a nomination for bureaucratship by Maxim, but chose not to accept it. Withdrawn RfA StaticChristian applied for adminship, but then withdrew. Withdrawn RfA Razorflame applied for adminship, but then withdrew. Template kept {{2008 United States presidential election}} was proposed deletion, but was kept. Failed block proposal It was proposed that StaticChristian be given a three week block, but it failed with the vote of 1-6. User blocked FastReverter has been indefinitely blocked, due to recent disruption (see here). The Wikiquote News links Wikiquote News    –    Subscribe All Past News      –    Discussion

Talking

Maybe I should have answered you when you said this. See what I said to Razorflame. Let me know if you would like more of an answer. ☺Coppertwig(talk) 20:13, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Communication is always a good thing; not saying anything just compounded the whole "I'm not doing anything" attitude, which is why I interpreted your silence the way I did (not closing = not promoting). EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:13, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry it looked that way. Maybe I should have answered. I think that sometimes silence is good, though.
Trying to make things clear: if you still need an answer, which comment(s) would you like me to answer?
Because you were talking about it with Spacebirdy at meta, I thought you might like a link to the discussion about American Eagle's first RfB. It's here in the Simple talk archives. ☺Coppertwig(talk) 01:23, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

RfB thanks

Thank you for voting in my request of bureaucratship (yes, I can spell that now :P). RyanCross has closed the request has "successful" and I have now been granted the bureaucrat flag. Special thanks to my nom, Razorflame. I was not expecting to pass (as I have less support % than my previous RfB). But, I greatly thank you all for this opportunity, I do not plan to let you down. In fact, I promise to do my very best not to. :) God bless, TheAE talk 03:58, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Congrats! And don't worry; it wasn't until halfway thru my first enwiki RfB that I was finally able to spell "bureaucrat" correctly. ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 05:49, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
