Hello, may I ask you a question about your recent comment at the RfA? You of course have every right to offer your opinion unchallenged, but I was curious about something, if you have a moment. If you would rather not discuss it though, I understand. --Elonka 04:59, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
(followup) The RfA has been closed. Unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful, but I do thank you for participating. I do intend to continue contributing in a positive manner to Wikipedia, and if there is anything that I can do in the future to help further address your concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. --Elonka 10:00, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi there! I think that you might be mistaken. I actually attempted to rollback the vandalism. Cheers hoopydinkConas tá tú? 00:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Redirecting Category:stub to Category:stubs is a good idea (although I've never made that exact typo, I probably will eventually), but it created an unforseen technical problem: category:stub appeared on its target page as a subcategory of category:stubs. For next time (if there's a next time, as categories aren't redirected very often), when redirecting a category, it is necessary to use this text: #REDIRECT [[:Category:stubs]], with a colon before the category, so as to avoid that problem.

Go you! Thanks for all your hard work. Yonmei 09:00, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
How was Nikola Tesla an autodidact? He had a fine high school (U.S. terminology) education, then a superb math and physics education at the Technical University of Graz, Austria, although he left without graduating. Then he took graduate courses at another university, again without graduating. I see Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin and Michael Faraday as well known autodidacts, and Nathan Stubblefield as a lesser known autodidact, but can't see how Tesla qualifies. Regards. Edison 18:12, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, we have a heavy backload of cases at WP:MEDCAB and since you are on the mediator list I thought I would request your help. Thanks! --Ideogram 10:52, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your recent edits in converting episode citations to proper references. The article was a mess when I did my re-write, but I didn't have time to go back and wikilink the refs. Wl219 19:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Hemlock. I don't see how a list of messages congratulating the user on some awesome vandalism is in any way helping the encyclopaedia, and it falls foul of WP:NOT a webhost, amongst other things. Am I missing something? Proto::► 07:10, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't know why it's a problem. There is an extraordinary number of wrestlers who have died from steroid use, suicide, etc, usually before the age of 45. I grew up watching wrestling as a child, and I'm intrigued/shocked by this fact. Wikipedia contains all sorts of quirky lists (All Nintendo games featuring Mario, or All things Bart Simpsons has written on the chalkboard, etc), why should this be subject to such ridicule? - wfresch
As a fellow Star Trek watcher, I found your Star Trek userbox to be hillarious, thanks for the laugh :) 216.64.125.78 17:49, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
I like the work you're doing with the categorization of U.S. Congressional subcommittees. However, I disagree with specific categories for each committee. See Category:United States House Appropriations subcommittees. I think this is over-categorization.—Markles 00:16, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello, feel free to delete Bruno Brokken as it's about some Belgian athlete with little significance outside Belgium. The original article is Bruno Brokken. This Dutch text is very suspicious: "Gelukkig vondt hij 20 jaar geleden zijn grote liefde -Christiane Bolders- welke hem als een echte bourgondier door het leven hielp, dankzij haar goed kookkunst." translates into something like "Luckily he found his true love 20 years ago -Christiane Bolders- who helped him (being a burgundian) to cope with life, thanks to her good cooking skills". In my opinion this is more suitable for a weblog than for Wikipedia. Alternatively, you might want to replace the text with something like "Belgian Sportsman Of The Year in 1975".

Please Read the criteria for speedy. I've excerpted from CSD: These criteria are worded narrowly and such that in most cases, reasonable editors will agree what does or does not fall under a given criterion. Where reasonable doubt exists, discussion using another method under deletion policy is recommended. This page contains the criteria for speedy deletion and a list of helpful templates that can be used to tag a candidate for speedy deletion. Articles that do not meet the speedy criteria may be nominated for the alternative deletion processes Wikipedia:Proposed deletion and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.
Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content. An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. If the assertion is likely to be controversial or there has been a previous AfD, the article should be nominated for AfD instead.
You will find nowhere in the page that articles can be speedied because they are unreferenced. If you think there is such a criteria, where is it?DGG 08:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey, Hemlock. I noticed you previously speedied Blazing Violets and then rescinded the nom and decided to wait. I was flipping through Uncategorized categories and noticed this article, so I nominated it to AfD. The debate is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blazing Violets and you're welcome to add comments if you want. <3, Strangerer (Talk | Contribs) 23:30, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
I reviewed you. YechielMan 23:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for your recent support at my RfA. I am now an admin! J Milburn 17:11, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations, Hemlock! (love the name). Now go get them there backloged WP:CFDs! -- Jreferee 00:56, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Congrats. Going fine so far, just one teensy gripe, for mass nominations, sometimes all of the entries will have been tagged with cfd tags. The Terrorists by nationality one was a case in point: bleh!. It's not a big deal if they are missed as they'll be picked up in the monthly cleanout of Category:CfD 2007-03 or whatever it is. Cheers, Angus McLellan (Talk) 17:23, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, just remember that WP:POINT is not subjective, just look at what the hemlock did to Socrates (I'm not saying that you would do that, of course)!! My support was that of the one who thought you already were one, but was too lazy to check Special:Listusers :P ~Steptrip 01:01, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Hmm. I don't feel enthusiastic about this. The per-day log pages just aren't big enough to make it necessary, and if it's not necessary I wouldn't bother. AFD style subpages means that anon editors can't nominate categories. Not that they nominate a lot not, but they won't be able to nominate any. What I was thinking about was changing speedy renames to some sort of archived logs, perhaps monthly. I'm not sure how many there are in a month, but the way things are now it's difficult to track back speedy nominations. Then again, does that matter? What I would like to see is UCFD merged back into CFD. There's hardly any UCFD stuff, so it wouldn't add much to the load at CFD. Let me know what you think. We can always start a discussion at CFD talk. All the best, Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:08, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi! Like the other person above on your talk page, I would like to know your opinion on a subject, more specifically this edit [4]. I would like to know whether you think it is against some policies or you think it is OK. And if you could give just some sort of brief explanation as to what is the reason for your opinion, it would be even better. Sure it's OK if you don't want to say what your opinion is, but I would really appreciate it! A.Z. 04:20, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
I am HemlockMartinis on freenode and I would like the cloak wikipedia/HemlockMartinis. Thanks. --Hemlock Martinis 22:45, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Hemlock. You deleted the above category. I wasn't aware you'd done so, and when I saw it's Cfd was 'keep', I went to add it back to an article. I saw several articles already listed there, but no text on the page, so added some - which apparently counts as a re-creation? In any case, another user has flagged it for speedy deletion, which I am contesting - please see the talk page. As a matter of interest, in your deletion, you referred to a consensus to depop/delete. Could you let me know where this consensus was reached? Thanks, BastunBaStun not BaTsun 17:18, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
I knew my RFA !voted for you would come in handy. Category:Systems presently is at DRV and needs some expert comment. Normally, I just review the CfD closer's actions and post accordingly at DRV. In this case, the close states that the 'delete' arguments are backed by guidelines, whereas the 'keep' arguments are backed by WP:USEFUL. However, the DRV nominator makes some strong points. This category deletion matter would benefit from someone having a good overview of the whole category system. I would like to invite you to comment at the Category:Systems DRV. Thanks. -- Jreferee 21:17, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
I have a question about a comment you made here that seems to contradict itself. Grammatically, it sounds like what you meant was this:
Is this correct (and if yes, would you fix it)? If this is not correct, would you explain? Thanks! Joie de Vivre 18:42, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
You corrected the title from EFILE to E-file which is not correct. The source data can be found here. http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/eservices/tax/individuals/efile-ind/menu-e.html barry123 Barry123 03:22, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, we have discovered information that suggests ADC to the King was not a significant a role as we thought- please check the debate to see if you still want to keep. Thanks Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 11:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Can you please explain this? Blocking this user is likely to be very controversial, I strongly urge you to post a report on ANI, and cite you reasons and evidence, so that others can review it.--Docg 14:34, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Please comment here. And note I'm urging everyone to keep cool and listen to your reasoning.--Docg 14:38, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
That reply does not appear to be up to par. Since when does calling someone "a menace to the project ... implies malicious intent" on that someone's part except for in bad faith land? Could someone not be "a menace to the project" inadvertantly? El_C 07:30, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
It is somewhat peculiar that Hemlock Martinis, who otherwise has very few recent contributions, chooses to overturn my block (of all the one of two edits he could have made for Jul 12), seeing how I recently chastized him for another questionable use of admins tools. Certainly noted for future reference. El_C 12:48, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello Hemlock Martinis/Archive 1, you are member of the project European Union. I try to create a new project page for the project. You can see it at here Because this should be the project page for all it´s members, please tell me, what you think about it. Please leave your comments on the talkpage of the project.--Thw1309 11:51, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
I suspect you don't appreciate the extent that Bush excites hostility here in Europe. Even tho I would hav voted against Bush, when he comes up I find myself defending Bush. By defend I mean I'm the one trying to say he is merely incompetent so I doubt that he would thank me. Most people's opinion of Bush is that he is a war criminal or worse. In short the hostility goes far beyond any, IMO, rational assessment. It seems to me, that for most people here to know that Bush is for something is a good reason to be against it. Dejvid 13:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
My point was slightly different. Whether I think he is horrible or not is irrelevant. What is relevant, is that Bush has rubbed up public opinion in Europe to such extent that if he is quoted it is pretty certain that the purpose is to convince people of the opposite point of view. Part of the problem, for me, is his inclusion in a list of "fors" without context. In a section on the wider consequences of Turkish accession mentioning him might well be appropriate.Dejvid 13:32, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that comment on AN/I. I see people calling themselves idiots all the time, but the bluntness you had with it was just hilarious. --Laugh! 04:44, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
You arrogant! Why did you blocked my account User:R-1441? I am not devraj5000!! I am Ravi. Unblock my account right now. I made that comment on the behalf of Devraj5000. It seem to me that you are here to block people from making a comment. Who made you the administrator? RaviJames 08:22, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

(but replace "your reason here" with your reason). --Iamunknown 08:45, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Hello. I don't endorse the approach being followed by User:RaviJames. However, you have no email address set. Charles Matthews 09:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Hemlock Martinis, first, you block editors form making comments. Then, you accuse people of 'sockpuppet'. What kind of a person you are? You are an American. Really? You don't behave like an American. Have you been to the Mid-West? Indiana? West Lafayette? People in the Mid-West are friendly, cool and they do not like gratuitous slandering. You are different. You are making a very serious charge against me. And, please, unblock my account User:R-1441. RaviJames 11:35, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
How dare you wrote :'This user is a sock puppet of Devraj5000, and has been blocked indefinitely.'? The evidence you provided was so bad. You block people from making a comment and then, after reading such a BC evidence block people from editing. The Report was submitted by Chubbles and based on that one report, you blocked User:R-1441 and also blocked User:Devraj5000 from editing. How arrogant was this? RaviJames 11:54, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Devraj5000 and RaviJames are two different individuals. Previously, I edited articles related to Indiana as an anonymous user.
On 9th July 2007 I created the account R-1441 and made that comment on the behalf of Devraj5000. Devraj5000 left the computer and I got involved in some other things. Later, I found out that your blocked my account R-1441 and also blocked Devraj5000 for a week.
Devraj5000 is interested in atheism and articles that are related to atheism. He interests are different. My interests are different. I am interest in articles related to Indiana. I am also interested in Sociology, Psychology, etc. I am also interested in sports like Tennis, Golf, Cricket, F1, etc. Once this controversy is over, I will be making contributions in these fields. Many users share IP address: 202.52.234.194. Devraj5000 is one of them. Unblock my account R-1441 and User:Devraj5000. Ravi. RaviJames 03:41, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
We have a winner! (And Mike Godwin works for Wikipedia now, too.) Ravi's a bit persistent. Flyguy649 talk contribs 04:27, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Yesterday, I made a mistake by attacking you. I believe in playing by the rules. The rule says: No personal attacks. Today, I will not repeat those mistakes. Devraj5000 will be back on 19thJuly or 20th July. I will not say anything on his behalf. Unblock my account User:R-1441. RaviJames 02:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
For all this sludge regarding the Devraj5000 block. I didn't realize it would wrap you up in so much WikiLawyering. Chubbles 02:54, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
I removed the CSD notice from the image as it isn't proper per WP:CSD criteria, the image needs to be tagged with ((frn)) first (for 7 days), before speedying it. feydey 04:16, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
