User talk:Daniel.Bryant

[edit] userpage

hello daniel, you may remember designing a userpage for me a while back and i was very impressed and grateful for it. since then i have had a name change (former name dean_randall) and lost my previous user page. do you think you cud design me a new userpage? i'm not after anything flashy, just nice and simple with an archive etc and a colour scheme of green. that would be most appreciated. DARReN^TALK 16:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

please ignore the above request as my userpage has since been restored. but i would still appreciate ur finishing touches on it as the symbols on the top which indicate status etc are missing. DARReN^TALK 16:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I fixed it anyways. Responded on your talk. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 02:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I was too slow!

Dragonfly got it in that time :) - I've just requested a checkuser if you are in a clerking mood :)  Glen  05:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I noticed - cheers anyways. I'll take a browse over your RfCU. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 05:17, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

No problems :) Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 02:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disruption on Occupation of Latvia 1940-1945 and Talk:Occupation of Latvia 1940-1945

A perfect example of what ANI is not: part of the dispute resolution process -- Are you kidding? If a gang litters the whole talk page with 'arguments' claiming that Sun revolves around the Earth, would you call this content dispute??? Did you check the page for once???Constanz - Talk 18:13, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Daniel, this is a content dispute, but an extremely bitter one, fraught with history and political ramifications, which probably could benefit from attention from uninvolved administrators, so I think your boxing the discussion was probably premature. Newyorkbrad 18:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, it's a content dispute - not something which ANI is used for. Try mediation, or discuss it on the talk page. Remove the tags if you like, but don't expect anyone to answer. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 21:49, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I removed the archive tags[1], but I still doubt that anything will be done, as ANI is specifically not for content disputes. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 21:57, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

It's a content dispute, but was veering toward becoming a user conduct issue quickly enough that it would be a good thing to have some admins keeping an eye on the page, which I think (hope) was the point of bringing it to ANI. Meanwhile, hope you're feeling better. Newyorkbrad 22:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I suspect the ANI section will only fuel the fire, and lead to trolling etc. I read the talk page of the article (contrary to Constanz's misfounded comments), and this is the definition of the content dispute. However, I'll let it slide this time, as it appears that people disagree with my assessment. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 02:47, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My addition to July 2052

Okay, I see why you deleted it. But it was predicted by an acient emperor Leo. I'll try to find some sources. Soupsportz 01:38, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

That's the spirit! By the way, I didn't delete it - an admin did; I only tagged it for speedy deletion. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 02:46, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Get well soon (& comment)

Have lots of mint tea with honey & lemon, and grilled cheese sandwiches with cream of tomato soup. Those are my "magic potions" for feeling better when I'm sick, and I hope they work for you. Also long hot soaky baths, with Johnson's "soothing vapor baby bath" in the water. Vaporizer. Aromatic ointment (e.g. Vicks Vapo-Rub) on the chest and upper lip. All that good stuff. I hope you'll recover completely and quickly.

Because I'm prone (or supine) to respiratory infections, I get the flu shot every year, and have now twice in my life had a pneumonia shot (it was originally supposed to be once-in-a-lifetime, but about ten years after the first they came out with an improved version). If you're not already doing this, please talk with your doctor about it. Has he determined whether the infection's viral or bacterial, and put you on the appropriate meds for it? (Antibiotics are no good for viral infections, but there are now some good antivirals as well.)

I've posted this note on Insineratehymn's talk page, with links to it on his alternate IDs' talk pages. Thanks for the pointer on each ID editing its own pages! – SAJordan ^talk_contribs 12:17, 10 Dec 2006 (UTC).

Yes, the baths with the "stuff" (as I called it) in them certainly helped clear the area. My doctor diagnosed it as a bacterial infection (which was different to my last one), and the Antibiotics have done the trick - I'm feeling nearly as good as I did before. Thanks for the tips, and good luck resolving that tagging thing :) Cheers, Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 01:36, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CheckUser request

I have filed a CheckUser request at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/200.119.236.93 which has not yet appeared on the RfCU page. I don't know whether it's supposed to transclude there automatically or whether a CheckUser or Clerk reviews it first and moves it to the page, but could you keep an eye open and make sure that this does appear (or fix any mistakes I might have made). I realize that this request does not fall within any of the six code letters and might be declined, but I believe it is warranted under all the circumstances. Thanks, Newyorkbrad 19:27, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

It is listed automatically by Essjay's bot. There's generally about a 5min delay, so I guess that was what happened. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 00:52, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Hope you're feeling better these days. Newyorkbrad 00:57, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I made a request as well, and it hasn't shown up (made it last night). Same deal as above? Cheers, Dibo ^{T | C} 23:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

The problem with yours was that you accidentally removed the category, so the bot didn't automatically list it. I fixed the problem :) Cheers, Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 01:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

superstar! Dibo ^{T | C} 01:36, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vote

The vote move is, of course, within your prerogative. While I continue to hold that reservation (and would never oppose an ArbCom nomination so ficklely), I do feel that your measured reaction is indicative of a move toward a more judicious temperment. I hope, regardless of the outcome, you continue to participate in dispute resolution in whatever available capacity. You clearly have the smarts; just try not to take policy disagreements personally. Reasonable people can differ, and nobody thinks you haven't got the necessary candlepower. Pop Secret 23:17, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 01:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:RFCU

I made a request on Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Cute 1 4 u. I don't know what to do with it. Should I put it on the main page (WP:RFCU???)--Ed ^{¿Cómo estás?} 03:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I listed it this time, but for future reference:

• If you make a case about a user, and their RFCU/Case page hasn't been created before you did, then it will be listed automatically.
• If you are adding to a page which has been created before you (ie. a second check, as is the case with C14U), the big gray box gives you the steps to use.

Cheers, Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 04:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the help. Take a barnstar!--Ed ^{¿Cómo estás?} 04:21, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RFCU Clerks

As we are appointing some new clerks and there will need to be someone experienced to help them out, and Thatcher & Srikeit have been brazenly stolen away by the Arbitration Committee, I am appointing you to be Head Clerk for the RFCU clerks. Now, get hopping! ;) Essjay (Talk) 04:07, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Wow, thanks Essjay! *goes into speech mode* Firstly, I'd like to thank my parents, for ... Anyways, Head Clerk, eh? That's a huge honour, and I hope I can do you proud :) Well, I know what my first task is, so I'll do it later this evening Adelaide time. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 04:10, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations, Daniel, well-deserved. Newyorkbrad 04:27, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks...I just hope it doesn't mean writing these five-page "manuals" too often :) Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 09:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE:clerk

Ok, i'll go active again.

I was just so busy recently.....

So i'll read up on the new guide and get back to work soon.

Thanks, GeorgeMoney (talk) 05:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Glad to hear it! The new guide will probably be published in about 24 hours from now. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 09:49, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Grr.... I just found out i would be busy this whole week. But I can be active after this week. GeorgeMoney (talk) 01:41, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

No problems :) Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 01:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clerking

Hey Dan, thanks for the message. I'm still a little busy. I have a lot of serious things going on in my life at the moment, but I'll try to get back to it asap. List me as inactive, but destined to return before long — Deon555^talk_desk 07:43, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

only time will tell — Deon555^talk_desk 07:56, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks to Sarah E, Mike and Longhair for dealing with this extremely unfortunate event. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 01:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Daniel, would you mind to fill me in on what's going on here, it has me rather concerned. An email would do fine, or I can hop on IRC a bit later. Essjay (Talk) 02:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clerking

Thanks for the message. I am currently busy in RL, however you can list me as inactive and I intend to me more active in the future. --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 11:35, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

So noted on WP:RFCU/C. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 01:29, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Checkuser Clerk

Yes, I do intend to resume being a clerk, but, as I have recently returned from a semi-long wikibreak, I am in the middle of resuming everything. However, I will begin to do RFCU clerk work within the next day or two. Until then, happy editing! Prodego ^talk 12:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

So noted on WP:RFCU/C. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 01:29, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RFCU

Please reactivate me. Thanks Geo. 20:41, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Done. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 01:28, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

I'm sure I speak for many others when I say your efforts there are greatly appreciated! :-) --HappyCamper 03:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
