Hi!
AE's RFA has passed :P SwirlBoy39 01:38, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- Oh... nevermind. Heh. :P -- RyanCross (talk) 01:38, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- Mine hasn't been voted on yet. I can say that because there is no canvass rule yet. :P SwirlBoy39 01:41, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- Heh, so, how many active users are here? -- RyanCross (talk) 01:42, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hello, RyanCross. Welcome! Maybe you and TBC are new active users. We have SwirlBoy39, American Eagle and me. Maybe there are no other active users. I'm sorry if I forgot someone. It was very quiet here for a few months, but now we have some active users and some things are happening! ☺ Coppertwig 01:25, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- Heh, nice to hear it. I'll be sure to come edit here and there. Thanks, 68.224.231.253 02:42, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Vandals
I don't imagine there are many vandals here, but are there any warning templates? --Gwib -(talk)- 00:27, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Nope as far as I know. I created {{vandalism4}} and {{vandalism4im}} though, you can create the rest if you want. That would be great! :) -- RyanCross (talk) 00:30, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
The Secret Garden
Hi, Ryan. Would you please edit The Secret Garden (1993 film) to show clearly where the quotes are from? To me, "Other websites" means other places readers might want to look to find more quotes. It doesn't seem to mean that that's where the quotes are from. It should say "Source" or "References" or something. Thanks. ☺ Coppertwig 14:01, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
I've also added a "Need sources" template to David Ortiz. Where did you get the quotes? ☺ Coppertwig 01:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
- The sources I got the quotes from are at the bottom of the article now, tough, I'm not exactly sure where I got the first quote from, so I split the sections. Thanks! -- RyanCross (talk) 02:20, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! Although I started thinking just now that maybe I should have known: if the name of the page says "1993 film", maybe the quotes must be from that film? But in this case, they were from a website. You should always say where you found the quotes, not only where the quotes originally came from. Thanks again. ☺ Coppertwig 02:27, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
- Your welcome, and thanks for the advice. :) -- RyanCross (talk) 02:42, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, maybe you were right and I was wrong. Maybe if the quotes are from a website that doesn't say what books they're from, maybe we're just supposed to write "unsourced" the way you did. see Wikiquote:Simple talk#Establishing MoS. ☺ Coppertwig 00:17, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well, thanks for the advice again. :-) -- RyanCross (talk) 01:13, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

{{stub}}
IMO, the {{stub}} template should be at the bottom, as opposed to the middle. Because the quotes are included in the article, and they "can be made longer," IMO. — AE (talk) 21:38, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks for the note. The English Wikiquote seems to have put it in below the lead section, and I assumed it would be the same here. Well, I don't think it has been said here where the {{stub}} template should be, but if you think it should be at the bottom, I'll agree with you. :) Thanks, RyanCross (talk) 21:40, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- The bottom sounds good to me. And thanks for the administrator userbox. ☺ Coppertwig 22:19, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations: You have been given a Barnstar!
For helping to resurrect activity on Simple WQ by contributing constructively to pages that need it the most.--TBC 22:47, 17 August 2008 (UTC) |
I'm surprised you haven't gotten one yet. :) --TBC 22:47, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks TBC! :) I'll be doing much more as an administrator though. ;) -- RyanCross (talk) 22:58, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Who's first?
I really got there before you that time!!! ☺ Coppertwig 17:16, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

- Wow, you're careless. :) — AE (talk) 22:48, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- Ehehe, I always forget to log in on Simple Wikiquote for some reason. :P On Wikipedia, I always remember to log in. :) Oh well. You can just say I'm a forgetful person who forgets to log in. :P -- RyanCross (talk) 22:51, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- "On Wikipedia, I always remember to log in." - Well, maybe. LOL — AE (talk) 23:17, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

The Selected quote system
I've created the Selected quote system. I'd like to be the coordinator of it, and I'd like you to be the assistant/organizer for it. If you see how I've done it, on Main Page/Header, it takes the current date and updates by itself. I want to be checker for finalization, but you could collect the quotes (that have the simple version), created the page, and it will update by the date. So, are you up for it? I heard you say you wanted to have this type of system, so let's do it! Okay? It you accept, find good quotes, then start adding to page, starting with Wikiquote:Selected quote/August 30, 2008, as I've done here. Understand? It pretty simple. I won't be on much (if any) tomorrow, but I set up until I'm back. If you want help out as a coordinator with me, go ahead. Cheers! — AE (talk) 06:46, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
- Yep, looks pretty well thought out. :) I'd be glad to help! Though, I'm wondering what the "coordinator" and "assistant/organizer" does. Could you explain that to me? And I think we should have a system where the community decides what quotes go on the Main Page, so I set up a system at Wikiquote talk:Selected quote for quote suggestions/nominations. What do you think? -- RyanCross (talk) 00:42, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
- It was fine, but I'm working on a new system. It may take a moment, but should work well. Then any user can easily suggest one (which should be the case). Thanks American Eagle (talk) 04:52, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, it's finished. Try nominating a quote, then tell me what you think. About my being the coordinator, I just want to oversee things, make sure bad quotes and/or bad simple versions don't accidentally make the Main Page. To prevent things like that, and especially vandalism to the selected quote pages. I wanted you to be a back-up when I'm not around, make sure that there are quotes for each date, and to organization whenever needed. I'm protected the selected quote pages, because these pages will be auto-added to the Main Page, when their date comes. This way, we (and other admins) can add the quotes to these pages that the community decides we should select for the Main Page. Hence the new system. Does this all make since to you? I think it works well. Cheers -- American Eagle (talk) 05:37, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- Will do. And yep, it makes perfect sense (to me at least...). Great job! -- RyanCross (talk) 05:58, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- Good. We are covered until September 4, in the next few days, we need to either have a quote(s) nominated by our users, or, if the need be, create the page with a quote you've picked out. But not until about a day before it's needed, should that be done. If ever you see a page that needs a quote, and the date is coming, go ahead and make it yourself (we can't have a blank on the Main Page). Understand? I think this is very cool, how it all works out. I've got to go to bed now. Have fun and good night, Ryan. American Eagle (talk) 06:10, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- I understand. I'll be sure to try out the system shortly. Good night American Eagle (or whatever your real name is). :) -- RyanCross (talk) 08:39, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

- Hias, this done alright, but don't you think that it's a bit too similar to this? :) I don't think we should be using the same quotes again, right? Well, I'll let you take care of it, perhaps another quote you like? Anywho, just a head's up. Cheers -- American Eagle (talk) 02:14, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
- Hah, I didn't notice it was already used. :P I'll replace it with something else. Thanks for the heads up. -- RyanCross (talk) 03:17, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
hey
Hey RyanCross. StaticFalcon 00:52, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- see your e-mail I have sent you a "I'm sorry" e-mail. StaticRic -(talk to da falcon)- 00:57, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- It was also an "unblock me pleasepleaseplease" email for Simple English Wikipedia. By the way, I responded by saying "no". – RyanCross (talk) 01:00, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Keeping up
Hey, I noticed you've created Wikiquote:Quote of the Day/September 23, 2008. That's good. I'm glad to know someone else is here who will work on that if needed. Thanks! -- American Eagle (talk) 03:54, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. :-) Yours, RyanCross (talk) 06:50, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Quick question:
Why'd you remove the simple quotes templates from George W. Bush? Thanks -- American Eagle (talk) 04:13, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- 1) It's definitely not a stub anymore, so I removed {{people-stub}}. 2) Some of the quotes aren't simplified. For example: On September 11 2001, America felt its vulnerability even to threats that gather on the other side of the Earth. We resolved then, and we are resolved today, to confront every threat from any source that could bring sudden terror and suffering to America. What does vulnerability mean? What's a threat? What does resolved mean? What's does it mean to confront? These are some questions a person learning English might ask. So I removed the template because some quotes do need some simplification. – RyanCross (talk) 04:18, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- Haha! I was thinking the template was {{needs translation}}. My bad. :) -- American Eagle (talk) 04:38, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- Heh, no problem. :) Nice work lately, by the way. – RyanCross (talk) 04:39, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. :) You've got mail. -- American Eagle (talk) 05:04, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry for the wait. Replied to it. – RyanCross (talk) 05:11, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oh wow. After clicking the link, I see how tiny it is! :) Oh well, and good night! -- American Eagle (talk) 05:30, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Edit to RfA
Thank you for trying to fix the RfA with this change. But, would you please look carefully at what you did and see if you need to fix it? It looks to me that before your edit, StaticChristian (who was also called StaticRic or StaticFalcon) was voting Support in the RfA, but after your edit the support vote is struck out. Thank you. ☺ Coppertwig 13:39, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
I can haz things deleted?
StaticFalHawk-Christian has a number of useless pages that need to be deleted. More info on my talk page. Synergy 20:29, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- zOMG. Ignore him. They are my pages so they should stay unless I want them to be deleted. ✞StaticChristian✞ 20:30, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- En.wikipedia actually doesn't allow fake secret pages. I think they're a bit annoying. Static, there are some situations where user pages/subpages need to be deleted even if the creator is not the one creating them. This is one of those situations. I'll delete them. – RyanCross (talk) 22:00, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
Why exactly did you create Imam last month? I can't figure it out, they are uncommon names and all red links, and no pages link to it. Thanks. ;) -- American Eagle (talk • my RfB) 17:17, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
- Hah! Well, we can create those red links eventually. It gives some basic info about the red links at least. – RyanCross (talk) 03:25, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, it sure tells us which ones are "In the past" past and which ones are "Contemporary." ;) Some good basic information, I'd say. :) God bless, American Eagle (talk • my RfB) 03:47, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Notifications from other projects
Hi. Re this message: If the user asked for that kind of message here or if you're confident that the user would want it, I guess that's OK; otherwise, I think Simple English Wikiquote might not be a good place to give someone messages like that that are about other projects. Thanks. ☺Coppertwig(talk) 01:44, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
- I apologize. I didn't realize the user had asked to have messages on this wiki, as it says here. So it was OK for you to put a message on this wiki. I'm sorry to have bothered you about it. ☺Coppertwig(talk) 00:39, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Recent block
I've changed the block settings on your recent block by locking account creation and preventing email. This isn't just a promotional username, it's a deliberately offensive and divisive one, from a user who was clearly trolling. Furthermore, the username matches a sock of a banned user Kanonkas was having trouble with. Really, these types of usernames should be hardblocked. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 02:25, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the Welcome! I like this Wikiquote project. Even though I am a native English speaker, I still find the paraphrases after each quote pretty helpful. --Cmelbye 17:09, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi there.
Hi there! Can you get the same user page design that is on my userpage on Simple English Wikipedia over onto here? Cheers, and thanks, Razorflame 03:26, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
- Sure, I'll try later on. — RyanCross (talk) 03:45, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I feel your pain...
[2] I've had that happen to me so many, many times. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 23:15, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- Hah, well, being around two Wikiquotes with the same logo is confusing. We wanted to change the logo to our own... but it never happened... — RyanCross (talk) 01:04, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- Just today, I found a page on Wikipedia tagged for speedy deletion. Went for the delete tab... and realized I was on the SE Wikipedia, not English. Grr. EVula // talk // ☯ // 01:22, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Congratulations! You are a bureaucrat
Did I push the right button? ☺Coppertwig(talk) 22:46, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Even though I did not participate in the request, I still want to offer my Congratulations! Maximillion Pegasus 22:49, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Congratulations on the flag! Cheers, Razorflame 22:51, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Welcome. And thanks for being willing to close American Eagle's RfB. ☺Coppertwig(talk) 22:53, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you all for your trust and support in me as a bureaucrat. :-) — RyanCross (talk) 00:23, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
- Congrats, Ryan! TheAE talk 01:02, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you, American Eagle. :-) Oh, I should be congratulating you. ;-) — RyanCross (talk) 01:31, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
- RyanCross, you and American Eagle need to know when planning who will close discussions that there may be some discussions I may not be willing to close, even if I didn't vote in them. ☺Coppertwig(talk) 00:46, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you, American Eagle. :-) Oh, I should be congratulating you. ;-) — RyanCross (talk) 01:31, 2 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 03:59, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
- Doesn't matter what the % is, what matters is the actual discussion. ;-) — RyanCross (talk) 04:53, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, and you are welcome. — RyanCross (talk) 04:53, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
- Your first job as a bureaucrat was a big one, and you did it well. I will learn from you. (I didn't know we had a bureaucrat policy, either. ☺ ) As PeterSymonds said, "Jolly good show old chap." Coppertwig(talk) 01:17, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, yes it was. Thank you for saying so. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from you also. :-) — RyanCross (talk) 01:46, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
- And thank you again for being willing to do it. Most discussions are much simpler to close! ☺Coppertwig(talk) 13:22, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
- Indeed. You're welcome. — RyanCross (talk) 16:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
- I can see that you did a lot of thinking when you closed the RfB.
- I'm sorry I didn't promote you a few minutes earlier. I was going to, but I wasn't that organized.
- Thank you for not saying what would happen in the future here, and for your patience here. You and AE have both been very calm and helpful. ☺Coppertwig(talk) 00:46, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- You're welcome. — RyanCross (talk) 02:51, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

SwirlBoy
I don't think this is correct. See SwirlBoy39 (talk • changes • blocks • protects • deletions • moves) : click on "changes". I see changes in December, January and February. I think SwirlBoy39 needs to be in the "active" list. Also, I'm not sure if we need a "semi-active" list. We can just wait until the person is inactive for a long time and then move them from "active" to "inactive". (That's just my opinion.) If someone wants to put themself on a "semi-active" list that's OK. ☺Coppertwig(talk) 14:50, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you for your concerns. If you disagree with my edits, I'll be more than happy to revert to meet your liking. :-) The reason why I added a semi-active list was that if users need help, they can refer to the more active editors. If they refer to the semi-active or inactive editors, a response will most likely be delayed. But what do you think of me asking SwirlBoy first? I believe that's the bold thing to do. — RyanCross (talk) 18:36, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
- Nope, it wasn't you... just seeing that made me realize I haven't been giving wq the appropriate time as an admin should. ѕwirlвoy ₪ 19:47, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
