Actually my stance on high school articles has changed somewhat recently, to the point where I'm no longer sure what my opinion is. As a result, I'm now avoiding school AfDs. But that's beside the point: I do not appreciate attempts at vote-stacking (as noted by CrazyRussian in the DRV), and have a general rule against responding to them unless both sides were notified, which doesn't appear to be the case here.

Thank you for your vote in my RFA, which succeeded with a final tally of 66-0-4. If there's anything I can help you with now that I'm an admin, please let me know on my talk page. Again, thanks! Mangojuicetalk21:43, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Hey, BryanG! I've read your comments on the aformentioned articles. Please explain your thinking more to me, as your definately have more experience than I. If necessary, I'll add a description for every ship: it's condensed history, commander, accomplishments, famous battles it was at, and where it was destroyed.
Moving excess information and specifics to Wookieepedia (and providing links to Wookieepedia per the "see also" and/or "external links" sections)
Enhanced communication amongst WikiProject members
More to come
These should provide the basic steps needed to improve and "encyclopedia-fy" the Star Wars series of articles.
Things to do
There are plenty of Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/things to do. An update to the page is coming very soon, and it will represent the new and exciting changes that Star Wars pages will be receiving!
Out-of-universe versus in-universe perspectives
Although details are forthcoming, I would like to take this time to explain the gist of this concept. Wikipedia has generally agreed that fictional articles should write about the topic from a "real world" perspective, focusing on real world issues and topics, with a section or two for plot synopsis and so on. Jabba the Hutt is a solid character example, and Clone Wars (Star Wars) is quickly moving toward an out of universe perspective.
Article evolution
As many of you know, lists of minor Star Wars-related themes are very common on Wikipedia; however, since these may be seen as violations of Wikipedia policy (and having seperate articles would breach even more policies), the tentative solution is to create general articles on a list's topic (for example, turning List of Star Wars devices into Technology of Star Wars, which allows us to cover everything from hyperspace to comlinks in a general encyclopedic fashion). This can be very tough for some broad topics, so the key is organization. I encourage all editors to list their ideas on the WikiProject talk page. It will be a very difficult — but tangible — effort.
For an example, let me point you to the Final Fantasy WikiProject. Some of us over at that WikiProject decided to turn various components of Final Fantasy X, such as Pyreflies, Yevon, and the backstory — into an article describing the world of Spira. Location descriptions were given a List of locations in Spira article, and the details themselves were placed on the Spira (Final Fantasy X) page. This is a decent template to follow — however, we will need to place priority on out-of-universe, "real life" topics and perspectives in realtion to the article.
Sounds confusing, eh? It won't, for examples will be popping up left and right in the near future!
Hello BryanG/Archive 2, and thank you for your support at my Request for Adminship, which succeeded with an overwhelming final count of (105/2/0). I was very pleased with the outpouring of kind words from the community that has now entrusted me with these tools, from the classroom, the lesson in human psychology and the international resource known as Wikipedia. The Free Encyclopedia. Please feel free to leave me plenty of requests, monitor my actions (through the admin desk on my userpage) and, if you find yourself in the mood, listen to some of what I do in real life. In any case, keep up the great work and have a fabulous day. Grandmasterka06:39, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
To the people who have supported my request: I appreciate the show of confidence in me and I hope I live up to your expectations! To the people who opposed the request: I'm certainly not ignoring the constructive criticism and advice you've offered. I thank you as well! ♥! ~Kylu (u|t)02:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the "You'll make a great admin." vote of confidence, I hope I'll prove you right. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 02:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
You're very welcome, I'm glad to see sanity prevailed. Not everyone is ready to be an admin as soon as you were (heck, I've been here 5 months and don't feel I'm ready quite yet), but you clearly were ready and there was really no need to wait any longer. BryanG(talk)05:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for doing this. Your input is appreciated and welcome. I have suggested on the Wikiproject page for WI Highways about consulting the DOT site for these roads as well. --master_sonLets talk23:02, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Meh, I really don't have much of an opinion, although I guess I lean towards keeping the status quo of Wisconsin State Highway XX. But I don't care enough to get involved in the massive highway naming convention saga. BryanG(talk)04:56, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for contributing the impressive the pile of supports gathered on my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 0x0104/0x01/0x00. I'm happy that so many people have put faith in my abilities as an admin and promise to use the tools wisely and do my best not to let you down. If I ever may be of assistance, just leave a note on my talk page. Misza13, the rouge-on-demand admin wishes you happy editing!

My RfA
Thank you so much for voting in my recent RFA. It passed on the relatively narrow vote of 38/8/8. It was also one of the least-participated-in RFA nominations in several months, so pat yourself on the back, and join the party on your left, but first, take your cookie!
NOTE: I can't code HTML to save my life. I copied this from Misza13. I guess I should write him a thank you note as well. Cookies sold separately. Batteries not included.

Hey, Bryan, thanks for supporting my RfA, which registered a tally of 104/4/7. Which means...
I am now an admin!!!
I was and still am very flattered by all the kind comments that I recieved, I will also take into account the comments about how I could improve. I guarantee I will try my best to further assist Wikipedia with the mop. Feel free to drop in and say hi or if you need anything. Again, thank you so much! Yanksox04:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
I dont know how this process works, but I think that the deletion of something that has been properly cited because the members do not like the topic is unfair and goes against the goals of this website. Aquygen is a real product created by a real company, and I think you do everyone a disservice by dismissing an article based on your personal feelings of what someone percieves as "psudoscience". I thought the goals of this website was to provide information on topics that can be sourced. I have cited the sources for Aquygen. When I added information about Aquygen I was not finished with the citation process. The article was recommended for deletion without giving me time to complete all the research into the sources. It wasn't even up for more than 15 minutes before it was recommended to be deleted. That cannot give a person the proper time to address citation, and to ensure all information is given. Creating an article is a process which takes time, and sometimes trial and error. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boyohio02 (talk • contribs)
I have only made a procedural comment as of yet on the AfD in question, I have not commented at all on the worthiness of the article. By all means, make your case at the debate, and, if necessary, improve the article. The entire point of a deletion debate is for editors to determine whether an article belongs on Wikipedia, and all comments are welcome and considered by administrators when closing debates. Feel free to read Wikipedia:Guide to deletion for more info on how our deletion process works. BryanG(talk)06:39, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
My RfA and your vote
Hi Bryan, Thanks for participating in my RFA! Ultimately, no consensus was reached, but I still appreciate the fact that you showed up to add in your two cents. I'll try to get more active in AfDs—actually, my inactivity and inexperience with deletions bothered me as well. You can feel free to talk to me about it or add some advice on my improvement page.
Thank you for taking part in my RfA! Unfortunately, it ended with a final result of (62/23/7), and with only 73% support, no consensus was achieved. I will definitely look into your comments and hopefully succeed next time. :)
My e-mail has always been activated in preferences. The problem until now was that I had not yet entered in my address a second time. Thanks for support. Andrew Levine11:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey Bryan, just a quick note to let you know I withdrew my RfA at 13/11/10. It's good to know I meet someone's criteria - thanks for the support :) --james(talk)11:05, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
RfA thanks
Thanks so much for voting, BryanG!
Thanks so much for your support vote on my request for adminship! With a final vote count of (82/5/0), it succeeded, and I'm now an administrator! I am thrilled with the overwhelming positive support from the community, and sincerely thank you once again for taking your time to voice your opinion. Feel free to contact me with any comments/suggestions in the future! —Mets501 (talk)03:46, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Star Wars 100
Claude Brochu article
Thanks for fixing up this article so quickly. It is the first new one I have created, and I didn't know how to add categories and link the articles in the two languages so I'm glad you did. Now I see how to do it. The link to the French article is indeed important since it is the source for my translated article.
Merci encore une fois (Thank you once again)
"Dirac66"
RfA thanks
Thank you very much for participating in my RFA, which closed successfully today with a result of (62/18/3). I will go very carefully at first, trying to make sure I don't mess up too badly using the tools, and will begin by re-reading all the high-quality feedback I received during the process, not least from those who opposed me. Any further advice/guidance will be gratefully accepted. I hope I will live up to your trust! Guinnog14:49, 30 August 2006 (UTC)}
Star Wars WikiProject Roll Call
" Hello! "
Thank you for contributions. You have signed as a member of the Star Wars WikiProject their is a Roll call going on currently at the Star Wars WikiProject talk page. Please sign if you still want to help out.
Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which was successful with a an overwhelmingly flattering and deeply humbling total of 138/2/2 (putting me #10 on the RfA WP:100). I guess infinite monkey theorem has been officially proven. Chimps really can get somewhere on Wikipedia.
With new buttons come great responsibility, and I'll try my best to live up to your expectations. If you need assistance with something, don't hesitate to swing by my talk page or email me (trust me, I do respond :)). The same goes for any complaints or comments in regard to my administrative actions. Remember, I'm here for you.
Hi Bryan. I have jsut closed the Davin Felth as a merge. You mentioned that you would be willing to do the merge - is that still true? JPD (talk) 11:03, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Thank you very much for participating in my RFA, which closed successfully earlier this week with a result of (50/3/0). If you have any further questions or suggestions, feel free to write me. I hope I will live up to your trust. Michael19:39, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Vous pouvez vérifier mes dires, mais le 18 avril 1982, j'étais bien présente à Loano, je puis vous dire que Mgr Thuc est venu à Loano, pour fuire l'Abbé Barbara, il est arrivé à Nice le Mardi après Paques et non en mai... Il est allé voir l'Abbé Delmasure à Cannes, puis un docteur à Antibes dont je ne me souviens pas du nom, puis Mr Ardisson l'a conduit à Loano et non à Toulon, car Mr l'Abbé Barbara voulait être sacré par Mgr Thuc... J'ai vecu tous cela, j'étais au service de Mgr Boni.... Qui lui aussi était sur l'annu Pontifical... Et excommunier par Rome comme Mgr Roux... Je puis le jurer sur la Bible. Louise Littieri. Je puis vous donner mon adresse.
First, please use English, I don't speak anything else at all well. Second, my only edits to that article were disambiguatingcardinal to cardinal (Catholicism), and then restoring that change only after someone reverted back to an earlier version. If the disambiguation was wrong, change it back, but I have absolutely no opinion in whatever editing dispute is going on there. BryanG(talk)21:01, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request
This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants.

Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams202022:27, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Danny Phantom discussion
Hello. You recently participated in a discussion on the possible deletion or merger of some Danny Phantom characters. While all the articles were kept, I noted that many of those commenting on the debate suggested merging some characters into a main list. Seeing this, I've compiled a list of some of the minor characters who may not need their own article, and would like the opinions of those who weighed in originally. You can participate in the discussion here. Ral315 (talk) 18:23, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your support on my RfA. Give me shout if I can be of help. Thanks/wangi 00:20, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
