Hey, I was thinking about nominating Template:20 Singles (which you made) for deletion for several reasons, but am wondering why you created it, and if its existence is still a good idea, and stuff like that. It would be great to know if the template is still worth keeping. Thank you, GracenotesT § 01:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

This place's problems aren't going to go away by themselves. And yet what incentive is there for anyone who tries to deal with them? And what happens when they try? There are just too many people here who disagree with me, I guess. The events of today were the final straw. I quit. Was nice knowing you – Qxz 09:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I must have blinked and missed whatever Qxz got so terribly upset about. I'm sorry that he is as upset as he is, about whatever upset him. He doesn't want comments on his page, but if he reads here, I wish him well. Newyorkbrad 17:04, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello Gracenotes, thanks for writing me. Feel free to revert me but I'll be honest with you editing in a retired note like that does not strike me as a good move. I've seen it time and time again where a user has seemingly retired only to come back later User:Radiant! is the most classic example that comes to mind. The retired sign has a certain finality to it that I don't see User:Qxz communicating, this is why I reverted. (→Netscott) 04:17, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
I had a question to ask you yesterday, but at the moment, I cant remember what it was,. Could you recall what I was going to ask you? →AzaToth 13:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
(Sorry to invade upon your question, Aza.) To Gracenotes: Lol to the CSS joke! I guess it's also better that I like your user space than taking up 10k about which icon should be used where. :-P --Iamunknown 17:33, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the advice; they have now been combined. -- Avi 20:30, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
(Terribly formed regex, I know) It's certainly funny to see everyone talking in /reg\.ex/ speak at MediaWiki talk:Usernameblacklist. :-D --Iamunknown 21:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll endorse this when the time comes. If I have the chance to have a gander over your contributions, I'll nominate. Will (I hope they cannot see, I AM THE GREAT DESTROYER!) 02:16, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
A self aware template? Sounds confusing! Judging by the article, you want a template that knows it exists. I wish you luck! CarrotMan 10:19, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I am trying to redesign the project banner for WP:PipeOrgan. It is currently at User:Mdcollins1984/PipeOrgan template. (I have based it on Template:Dadsarmyproject).
The problem I have noticed is that the default label for the show/hide todo list is [hide], requiring two clicks from [hide] to [show] and once more to actually display the content. Is this a problem in the syntax? It is only a very small matter, but its bugging me!
If you've got time to take a quick look, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,

Hey! There is an interesting discussion on MFD, Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Association of Members' Advocates, I don't know what you think about it, but maybe you should take a look. Anyways, how was the AP calculus review going for you? Wooyi 02:08, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry... I was reverting vandalism a bit to quickly. --Starnestommy (Talk • Contribs • Uncyc) 03:00, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
There's already an established consensus that pages like Special:Upload are necessary. Being silly != being funny gaillimhConas tá tú? 03:00, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
That was a fun couple of hours. Its amazing how fast we (the serious editors) were all able to get back to regular business though. I expect we'll still be cleaning up vandalism for the rest of the day though. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 03:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
My reply to your comment at a recent RfA:
Isn't that a bit circular? Unless you mean "inexperience" in a different way than I'm interpreting it. GracenotesT § 19:47, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
On an unrelated note, are you friends with/an acquaintance of the User:Grace Note? I'll bet you get asked that question fairly often. :) Best wishes, Xoloz 20:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you very much for responding. I suppose I shall list the top three Gracenotes misconceptions :)
Those are all false. GracenotesT § 20:14, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Transcribing for fun:
I actually assumed that you were male, because User:Grace Note is male as well. You have in common with him now the trait of wondering about my RfA philosophy, though your response is infinitely politer. His was, "fuck off", and I quote. :) Despite gruffness, the other Grace can be funny, lest you receive an unfair impression. Best wishes, Xoloz 20:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh good heavens, please follow your own intuition, as following mine will likely only lead you to the nuthouse! ;)
Seriously, I am a longtime somewhat-bitter opponent of Ignore All Rules, but the "policy" isn't going away. My response to that is to set adminship standards that are higher than average, to aid in the selection of more seasoned candidates (ie., ones less likely to go nuts and cause extreme grief for everyone. The blurb on my userpage tries to suggest the link between my RfA standards and the existence of IAR, without being so explicit as to incite a hornet's nest of anger. The short version is, though, that I ideally want to see every candidate hang around project-space for a while in order to weed out... ahem... those who might be prone to misunderstanding and misusing our more "subtle" policies, of which IAR is a cornerstone. I'm glad to be in the minority on many opposes, because I'm still serving as a helpful gadfly. Someone has to be willing to stand apart from the crowd on occasion. :) Best wishes, Xoloz 21:15, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Gracenotes: I couldn't find the discussion on updating the speedy deletion template links. Do you have a link to the discussion? (I fully believe you, I just want to check it out) Thanks. —METS501 (talk) 03:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi there! I noticed that your userpage employs cross namespace redirects and was wondering if you might fix them up or have them deleted? We talked on IRC about this, but here's hoping that this will serve as a reminder, as you didn't appear to feel up to it when we chatted. Cheers mate! (hehe) gaillimhConas tá tú? 04:13, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Template:Db-copyvio has a stray bracket in it somewhere, which is getting the template listed as a CSD. Could you take a look at it? --Wafulz 04:20, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
