A Fond Farewell from BuickCenturyDriver
I'm sorry I cannot return to with my BCD name. I am going to bid a fond farewell to you. I did support your RFA and am going to miss you. I am very sorry for what happened (accounts do get compromised, I just don't know how to do it) and I hope you can try and resolve this for me. But if not, a goodbye with a heavy heart. BuickCenturyDriver. 04:04, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey Ryan, just inquiring about the status of the page editing we were speaking about on my talk page regarding the K2 Network entry. I'm not in any particular hurry, but I just wanted to make sure it hadn't slipped through the cracks. Hope all is well! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xandamere (talk • contribs)

Yes, feel free to co-nom. I look forward to reading what you have to say about him. The Transhumanist
I noticed you speedied the article. Could you please close the AfD discussion as well? It is still open. --Cyrus Andiron 13:00, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

copy of what I posted on EA mediation page, move to close and indef protect Steve Block's corrected text
Hello, Ryan. This is a copy of what I have just posted on the Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Mediation page:
Now that Dev, Ed, and myself seem to have agreed upon Steve's text, as modified to list 2 and not 3 tranches, I move that the text be moved to the main Esperanza page, and more importantly, that it be indefinitely protected to avoid any future edit wars. I know that the idea of indefinitely protecting a page may be controversial. As an alternative, I'm willing to banned from any future editing of the Esperanza essay once the mutually agreed upon text is posted, if that is what it takes to conclude this dispute. I can't speak for Dev or Ed if they would be equally willing to walk away once the essay is posted.
I know that I said on Ed's talk page that the mediation can wait, while he has insisted on mine that it can't. Considering that this mediation would seem to have fulfilled its purpose, i.e. finding a mutually acceptable essay to describe Esperanza, I am convinced that we (Dev, Ed, and myself) would likely be unable to develop the essay any further without disagreement. Ed is determined to make further changes to the Steve Block text; Dev is determined to leave it as is, due to academic demands. Both editors are equally convinced that they are upholding what they see as community consensus. I see no possible compromise between these two positions, which is why I am now advocating posting the mutually agreeable text and protecting it indefinitely. --Kyoko 20:26, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Cheers for letting me know, I have been watching (but as you were sorting it out, I thought it best to leave you to get on with it), if it's OK with everyone, I'll unprotect it tomorrow (if it's protected) and leave it 24 hours for you guys to hash it out, then protect it indef. Ryan Postlethwaite 22:17, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if leaving the page unprotected for 24 hours will be sufficient for all parties to resolve their differences. Both Dev and Ed have been less active than myself on Wikipedia, and Dev in particular has made it abundantly clear that she does not want to continue in this mediation, nor does she want to keep editing the essay, due to her A level exams. Ed on the other hand, says that "edits made to the essay are both urgent and time-sensitive". I don't foresee any mutually acceptable changes to Steve Block's text in the future, given both the relative inactivity of Dev and Ed, and the apparent dislike for one another that has developed over the past few months. Whether the page is left unprotected for 24 hours or 24 months, I'm not confident that Ed and Dev will agree on any changes beyond what Steve wrote. --Kyoko 23:45, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed, I've now unprotected the page, could you implement all of steve blocks proposal and let me know when you've done so I can re-protect it? Ryan Postlethwaite 23:51, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- OK, I've just transferred the text as stated. Please review it before you protect it, to make sure that it is correct. I'm sorry about the delay, but I kept switching between different tabs to find the relevant links for the MfDs and the deletion review. I'm most concerned about the inclusion of the very first link, to the creation of Esperanza. I personally think it's OK to include, but I would appreciate another opinion. Thank you very much. --Kyoko 00:06, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Cheers for that, much quicker than I expected :-) The link looks fine to me, as does everything else. I've indef protected it, I will leave the mediation open for 24 hours to make sure no-one has any problems with it, then I will close it. Ryan Postlethwaite 00:30, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your involvement in what has been a very drawn out and heated affair. I hope that the other parties are satisfied with the current Esperanza page, so that we can all move on. --Kyoko 00:39, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I thank you for your efforts to resolve this dispute. I think this debate has set some important precedents (e.g. explanatory essays are stupid, as are pressing for them even when it is obvious from the MfD talkpage such things will be bitterly disputed), and taught me some important lessons. I consider this entire matter concluded now, and so will go self-block for the remainder of my exams to remove temptation. Thank you again for your work, and the same to Kyoko if she is reading this. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 23:09, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Ryan,
Thanks again for your help with setting up a normal Wiki page for *K2 Network. I've put a brief page together in my userspace, which isn't complete just yet but if you want to take a look at it and give me any feedback you may have, it would be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xandamere (talk • contribs)
- I've replied on your talk page :-) Ryan Postlethwaite 23:08, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
We hadn't gotten the news articles in yet, you're more than welcome to add any you find particularly relevant or I can do so myself. I figured on putting a news section below the upcoming releases area.
On a somewhat related note, K2 is releasing a game by the title of Sword of the New World this summer. This game has been out since 2006 in other markets under the name Granado Espada. Currently on Wikpedia, Sword of the New World redirects to the GE entry. However, the version of the game that is being released in the North American market is significantly different from the Korean version, and much of the information in the GE entry will end up being incorrect. For example, the Granado Espada entry lists the maximum number of characters as 8 whereas Sword of the New World will have 32.
Could we work to create a seperate Sword of the New World entry that is more accurate to that game version?
Whoops, forgot to answer one of your questions. I'm afraid we don't have a forum up to discuss the page. Feel free to post anything to me on Wikipedia, or if you prefer, you can email me at xandamere@gmail.com.
"For the record" meant just that.
Your edit summary, when clearing WP:RFCN#Shaunybot et al, said "Clear all, Ben, discuss with the admin if your not happy about the block".
Ryan, I did post a comment to the admin in question: User talk:Viridae#The block, unblock, and immediate re-block of Shaunybot.
My post to Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names#Shaunybot was marked "for the record", which accurately expresses its purpose and intent. Since Viridae's closing remarks began with "Blocked, that could have been take to WP:UAA", it was clear that at least Viridae (and how many others?) had not been aware that the case had already gone through WP:UAA, had already resulted in a block, and had then been unblocked to allow open discussion on WP:RFCN.
In my opinion, these facts should have been stated when the case was re-opened (as they might have affected how it was handled then), but in any event they needed to be filed in the archive with the closed case, so they were on record, not simply in individual living memory. -- Ben TALK/HIST 06:25, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Note also that the original username block was (quite properly) done with "autoblock disabled" to allow the user to choose a new name, while the re-block was with "account creation blocked" to prevent creating another username -- something that is supposed to be reserved for blatant offenders (i.e. probable vandals) -- which reflects a severe misunderstanding of either the situation or the appropriate procedure. (Later remedied for this user, and perhaps the admin will be more careful in future.) I know the trend on the username boards has been to minimize instructions, but this is a case where ignorance hurts. I think both WP:UAA and WP:RFCN need to remind blocking admins to look at those checkboxes and choose appropriately, so this doesn't become a widespread pattern of overly hard blocks on non-vandalistic usernames. Agreed? -- Ben TALK/HIST 06:39, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry
Sorry about that but your comment was about User:IStalkNeldav who was claiming he could see me. He's been indef bolcked. Neldav 07:17, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Indef bollocked - that should about do the trick! :) - Alison ☺ 07:26, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Oh geez - I think I need to take the hint and go to bed here - Alison ☺ 07:27, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Considering that the first hit from http://www.google.com/search?q=bolck is an acupuncturist (Hans Bolck, http://www.acupunctuurbolck.nl), clearly Neldav was saying the stalker has been thoroughly (and accurately) punctured. -- Ben TALK/HIST 07:34, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- OK, the correct word is "blocked" not "bolcked"! :) Neldav 16:36, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

You mentioned uploading screenshots and a company logo, but I'm afraid I'm not sure how to do so on Wikipedia...could I send them to, say, imageshack and provide you with the links?
Xandamere 17:10, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah of course, that's absolutely fine, leave the links on my talk page. Ryan Postlethwaite 17:37, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Talk Page
Sorry about that. I had a flurry of three messages come in on top of each other, and when I'd srted them out I had lost my thread! And yes, it was late.--Anthony.bradbury 20:41, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- You don't need to appologise for anything, the number of times I forget to delete the talk page is unreal! Sorry if you think I was butting in, I've got a lot of talk pages watchlisted and I tend to answer a lot of peoples messages for them, people can't be online all the time, so it's sometimes easier if other users do the requests for them :-) Ryan Postlethwaite 20:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
RFA prod
I've been watching the discussions. I think even though there is some vocal opposition, the idea (IMHO) is a good one, and you might be surprised by the support that would come out of the woodwork. I don't mind waiting if you want a guinea pig for it, but equally if you want to press ahead I'd be honoured. Khukri 21:14, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Accepted, but another 5 mins to amke sure it read correct then I'll transclude it. Cheers again, and here we go. Khukri 23:26, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, someone else just transcluded (not me) - it looks fine though, best of luck! Ryan Postlethwaite 23:27, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Heh you're welcome! I happened to stumble upon it on your userpage. I can't believe there wasn't already an article on it. And it's made me feel hungry! Will (aka Wimt) 00:54, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ha! Well it was originally in the Kendal article, but it's way too notable to not have it's own page. When I get back home, I'll research it better and improve the article - Might even pop into Romney's and see what they can tell me! Ryan Postlethwaite 00:59, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Any more news on Wikipedia:Meetup/Manchester 2?
- Not too sure on the manchester meetup, any idea's of how we could get more participants? I'm seriously considering spamming AN! Got a few idea's of what we can do, Chinese - then a bit night out, I think we all need it after exams! Ryan Postlethwaite 00:53, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- Someone could send an email to Wikimedia UK's mailing list (I could, since I'm on it), or just spam active editors in the area. Is this going to cater for all age ranges, or just the 18-25 range? – Steel 00:58, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

- I'm coming from Nottingham (and without a car), so I'm planning on staying round Ryan's. – Steel 01:01, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah of course, by that date, I think I should have a few rooms free in my house so there's bed (not just a sofa!) Ryan Postlethwaite 01:04, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah that's a good point, hmmmmm, where could we go..... If we go for a meal, we could always go to a pub somewhere for a few drinks, it doesn't really matter on ages then, if people want to go out after that, then that's cool. Could you email then mailing list? That would get a few users on board. Ryan Postlethwaite 01:04, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Tellyaddict - The Sunshine Man
Hi Ryan, I thought I'd better tell you that I am User:Tellyaddict, I know you may think this a hoax but I thought I'd should tell you as I said at AN/I that I was previously known as Tellyaddict, I think the people deserve to know. If you dont believe me (which I'm sure you will believe me) I will log in as Tellyaddict and make an edit but if you did want to see you would have to unblock the account after I asked for it to be indefinitely blocked. Thank you and I hope to see you around. Happy editing! The Sunshine Man 13:18, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey there
Hi!
How've you been? Hope the vandals aren't harassing you too much ;)
I was just wondering, these tags we have at the end of biopages, for example [[bn:রানী মুখোপাধ্যায়]][[bg:Рани Мукерджи]] etc. What are they called? I believe these language tags are used to provide accurate search results, but I don't really know?
The thing is, I've come across several pages where these tags refer to one language but actually have the person's spelling in another. In other words, they're wrong and in removing and/or correcting them, I end up ruffling feathers.
Is there any WP page which lists what the bn,bg,ru etc abbreviations actually stand for? I've come across english spellings being tacked into tags starting with hi,es,etc but I can't remove it since I have no way to prove its wrong :P
Thanks for your time,
Regards, xC | ☎ 14:50, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm ready, M'lord!
My dear Ryan, after battling with your userpage for several hours, I've finally decided it has defeated me! ;) Nah, don't lose your faith in me so easily! I've made something for you that I hope you'll like; you can find it here. If you feel it is worthy of your userpage, just copy the code straight into your own! ;) Or if you want me to retouch it a little further, just point me the way and I'll do my best. Btw, sweetie, I've got your mail, and I read it with great attention and pleasure. Lack of time seems to affect me everyday now, so I promise I will reply today after I get a little sleep. There's much I wish to tell you, so we'll continue this at your mailbox. I hope you're doing great, and (fingers crossed) that you like the little mess I've made for you! ;) Love, Phaedriel - 09:49, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Question re: block
Are you sure that Alex Ramon warranted a block? He doesn't seem to have been given any warnings about spam links and stopped an hour and a half ago.... WjBscribe 13:04, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, I didn't look as far back as Feb. And he promised it "wouldn't happen again". Mmm, in that case a block is strict but not unreasonable. He really does need to read up on WP:ER. WjBscribe 13:22, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hey WJB and Ryan. FWIW, and hope you guys don't mind me sticking my nose in, I think it's a pretty fair block myself. He was just spitting out links of his own sites buried in amongst other sites after a previous warning and promising it wouldn't happen again. I think 24 hours is pretty fair and hopefully he'll take it as a warning shot across his bow and stop spamming in future. Cheers (and sorry for butting in), Sarah 13:39, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah cheers Sarah, that's exactly the reason why I blocked - it's all he's done since he's been here. I hope that he can add a few better links in the future. Ryan Postlethwaite 13:41, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- Not at all Sarah, I started it by sticking my nose into Ryan's block. As I confessed, I hadn't found the warnings back in Feb. And I agree that a stronger approach is needed if we're to persuade him to actually read WP:ER this time. WjBscribe 13:43, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Ryan, I had created a page for the orphan charity SOS Children's Villages - USA. I'd noticed that you'd deleted the page because it uses content from their site.

Did Ya Miss Me?
—Remember, the Edit will be with you, always. (Sethdoe92) (drop me a line) 22:40, 15 May 2007 (UTC) Maybee I should tell you the story about me and ryan, ok but don't say I did'nt warn you.
Story Part I
It was a dark and stormy night, okay no it was'nt, I have nothing to back it up.
It was a day much like this one, I had been on Wikipedia for about two years then, and I had just gotten back from my yearly Wikibreak (December 7[my B-Day] to January 1), I was voting on new Sysops, and out of the blue, he starts barking at me like he's my mom! <!-- or something --> he says I can't explain why I vote no! After a few weeks he starts to grow on me <!-- Ewww! --> and then he says That A Train has paired us up, and then we became Wikifriends, It was good until it took a turn for the worst!
TO BE CONTINUED
yes
—Remember, the Edit will be with you, always. (Sethdoe92) (drop me a line) 23:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC) and there's something you should know
{{uw-uaa}}
Hi Ryan, just for a heads up I've moved your warning {{Uw-UAA}} -> {{uw-uaa}}, because we try to keep all warnings in lower case so as to minimise confusion, and I've posted them up in the correct places. Cheers muchly Khukri 14:20, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Story Part II
It was fun until Tellyaddict showed up and took over my training, he started getting too much into it, He started "showing me the ways of the Sysop" I started having fun on the word accociation game ant then Telly Drops me like a rock!, but the worst part Is still to come. . .

To be fair, I didn't abide by WP:DENY, admins can take a look at the deleted DBG talk page - it's funny :-) Ryan Postlethwaite 18:04, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, that's what it is. Shame no one's done something like that for me...yet. :) Acalamari 18:14, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ohmigod, that's the funniest thing I've seen around here in a while! Excellent :D – Rianaऋ 18:20, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

- I'm confused: is it an image Ryan took? (Sorry if I'm sounding ignorant here.) Acalamari 17:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Boy!
That picture on your user page sure is swell! DBG is my favorite band in the world! Thanks for supporting their music, I made a fan page, and let me just tell you, I have made contact with thousands of fans from all parts of the globe. You're terrific! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.107.227.85 (talk • contribs)
- Another fan of yours, Ryan? :) - Alison ☺ 22:13, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Looks like it ;-) Thanks for keeping tabs on me Mr IP :-) Ryan Postlethwaite 22:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- How about it, Ryan? You're rapidly becoming an internet celebrity! Acalamari 22:40, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- I know, if you google my name you get thousands of hits now, before I came to wikipedia it used to be 7! :-) Ryan Postlethwaite 23:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, silly billy!
I spend a whole day making a new userpage for you, kiddo - it's not like I don't dedicate you time! ;) Tell you what: if you promise to send me a pic of your in a sober state (like you said you would!) you'll get your mail ;) Seriously, I was planning to write you today - and I do honor my promises! love you Ryan - you sure made me laugh :) Phaedriel - 23:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- The only problem with me sending you a sober pic of me is that you might fall in love ;-) Ha!!! you've made me feel bad now about my user page!! Time to look through my pics!!! Ryan Postlethwaite 23:39, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Email time!? Ryan Postlethwaite 23:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Post drunken state!!!
.........And me with a hangover! Ryan Postlethwaite 23:50, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- We needn't worry about Phaedriel "falling in love" by the looks of it. You, on the other hand... – Steel 23:59, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- It's too late for me..... Ryan Postlethwaite 00:01, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, I feel your pain :) - Alison ☺ 00:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- I should mention that's after my 21st! Ryan Postlethwaite 00:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- (Be still my beating heart!!!!) Btw, is it me, or our Ryan kinda looks like Prince Harry in the first pic? ;) Phaedriel - 00:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Just for fun!
And just for fun, me and my friend Adele (Hot hot hot!) Ryan Postlethwaite 00:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Is this some plea for attention, Ryan? I'm telling you, I'm cutting you off! ;) I'm assuming she.. likes... being licked? Or she's had enough Jim Bean she doesn't care? David Fuchs (talk / frog blast the vent core!) 01:07, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Phaedriel wanted some pics! I think you can tell by the look on her face that she enjoys being licked by me ;-) Although I'm sure her boyfriend would have something else to say! Ryan Postlethwaite 01:10, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Now Ryan, when you say "the look on her face", do you mean Adele or Phaedriel? :) (Heh, heh, heh.) Acalamari 02:02, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- No, no, no, this is all wrong. The RP I've become accustomed to is a drunk northerner with no lady friends. All this Adele business has shocked me to the core, not to mention the images where you appear to be ....semi-sober... GASP. I assume you have a helpline set up for Folks fooled into thinking that Ryan Postlethwaite was permanently wasted but, as it turns out, he's a regular kind-a-guy who licks girls (as required)....... That's it, I quit (for three days). The Rambling Man 18:30, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

EA mediation
I added a last minute request, could you please check it out?
PS The pics you have above are quite...interesting.--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 01:13, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- The pics are shocking! I've unprotected the esparanza page - please only add in the line you've suggested and let me know as soon as you've done it (i.e. in the next 10 minutes). Ryan Postlethwaite 01:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Done. Feel free to make a grammatical change, now that I've added a new sentence. To me, it seems like I've disrupted the flow of the essay, but I can't pick out how. Tell me what you think.--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 01:58, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- I formated[2] and reprotected, let me know if that's OK. Ryan Postlethwaite 02:02, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Ryan, the additional sentence is OK in its current position, where it doesn't disrupt the flow of the paragraph. I'm not quite content with the wording "deletion debate result" because to me, it sounds rather clunky and needlessly alliterative, but it's not a big concern. I'm more interested in the rest of the encyclopedia.

- P.S. Have you considered using the picture with Adele on your userpage, with the caption, "I am a Wikipedia administrator."? Maybe it's best not to, but I wanted to make you laugh. --Kyoko 08:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Ryan, looks like someone does not like me (massive lol)! Cheers! — The Sunshine Man 14:47, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ha, I know, I was well looking forward tp part III, but I'm going to have to wait another week as he's blocked :-( Ryan Postlethwaite 18:16, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hehe, on a serious note though he made adeath threat, I thought that was an offence which a user could be indef blocked for? Regards — The Sunshine Man 19:52, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

You've got your mail, Sire! I know you're pretty busy with the ArbCom case, so I don't wish to interrupt you - but hey, you've earned it! ;) Ttyl sweetie. - Phaedriel - 15:58, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm well excited now :-) I haven't checked my mail today! I'll check it when I get home. I'll try not to take as long as last time to respond! :-P Ryan Postlethwaite 16:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
