The red looks angry

The red color you have now is rather angry looking - I'm assuming it's reflecting your stress level? Sorry.  :( Can I change it to a nice, soothing, Esperanzial green?  ;) Also, I've managed to get the first post after you archived again - yay! -- Natalya 01:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I think hes changing his colour everytime he archives the page —M inun ^Spiderman 10:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm feeling better now - wow! That's exciting, and rather positive! Wheeeee! :D Next time you're stressed out, I'm going to remind you that at one point you actually said that things were better. ;) -- Natalya 13:18, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

re:Please stay

I appriciate your concern Highway, but.. damn, I'm getting sick of the people on Wikipedia (not you :p) I got other things to do rather than waste my time trying to prove to people that I have good intentions. It's just too much for me to handle right now, all I',m doing right now is trying to fix-up the SummerSlam articles and then I'm outta here. Honestly, I'm tired of assuming good faith with an Encyclopedia that doesn't give it back. — The King of Kings 23:06 July 19 '06

Oh, can I also ask why you distorted my e-mail address? — The King of Kings 23:06 July 19 '06

Well, I've had a stalker since December because I edited his user page one time and he through a fit and decided to ruin any chance at adminship I ever had. The NCV stalks me, I some lunatic in Australia stalking me over the Internet and taking my nickname "King of Kings" and using as his own on his own personal website, which is just retarded in retrospect. I also have another person from the YTMND wiki spamming me which is getting annoying. Your one stalker needs to step up to take on how many I have :) — The King of Kings 23:19 July 19 '06

Sounds like quite an experiance. Ha, a fan club of 3, at least I have a fan club of 4 :) Oh and I have another group of users who decided to ruin articles, my wiki-career and RFA's. And that an incomplete list. :( All in all, it sucked. — The King of Kings 23:44 July 19 '06

Just following up, but maybe the point I'm making is that me being here and the way Wikipedia is, is status quo. Nothing will change and I'm ready to move on now. Although there is the option of returning under another name, I think I already established that I'm too honest to go do something like that. So, I guess after I finish up the articles I'm working on, I'll move on with life. Theres other things I have to complete within an alotted period of time and I can't stay on Wikipedia while doing it. So, I'll talk to you later. Semper Fi — The King of Kings 00:49 July 20 '06

The Charizard Article

The line in question is "Dropping the health to half or below activates a hold item called a Salac Berry, which increases the speed of the holder, when the HP falls below one half." It's already mentioned that it activates when HP is below half, it doesn't need to be stated twice.Craig Sniffen 05:52, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Another Barnstar? Wow, thanks!!

I can't believe it!! Thank you so much Highway, your barnstar really means a lot to me (especially as it's one of my favourites, and one of the ones I always wanted ;). Your words were really kind as well. I think you deserve a big HUG for all of your kindness. *Hug* Thank you very, very, very, very, very, VERY much (and I'll make sure to keep putting funny stuff on the edit summeries XD)

Comment

You are also breaking the terms of conditions by favouring a person's summary over the another. You yourself said earlier through your mouth that no one owns the article and is free to change the content if one feels there are inaccuracies. Digisouth14 00:13, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I have the right to report you too. Why so? You could have just edited my summary and not revert it. It shows your personal slant towards your choice of articles which is the same as your accusation of my using personal prose, your slant of which has not one thing to do with fact. Btw, Homophobia getting in the way of writing down facts is also a personal thing.Digisouth14 00:30, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

No power to edit summaries? So how come the fellow before me had the right to have his/her summary wrtten, stayed, not totally edited? As a plus, other folks have the right to edit pior's summary and their editions stay, can you honestly tell me they are one of the "6" mentioned? Some sort of privilage thing going on? Who has the right to objectly say yes or no? Digisouth14 01:21, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

To HighwayCello, Please do not engage in personal attacks, subtle threats or try to start an edit war. Refer to WP:NPA. If an admin decides according to guidelines that I'm violating the rules of wikipedia, he/she will see fit to revoke my privilages. Digisouth14 09:33, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Blnguyen, could you please update DYK, it's not been changed in 22 hours. Highway ^{Return to Oz...} 15:44, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to leave you waiting HighwayCello, but I'm not here on weekends. I'll try better on weekdays. Sorry, Blnguyen | rant-line 01:58, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

On a more sombre note, I hope I haven't caused more problems by leaving Esperanza or the manner in which I did so, because I did note that you made a comment about sexism to Natalya. It was just a personal musing that I felt that users should individually look out for harassment a bit more. Thanks, Blnguyen | rant-line 02:08, 24 July 2006 (UTC).

Mmmm Coffee

Thanks so much, Highway! The coffee, and your support, really brought a smile to my face. I guess it's only fair that you get to be nice this time.  :) I really, really appreciate it. -- Natalya 05:40, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the Barnstar

Thanks for the barnstar, it's much appreciated. My wiki time is a bit limited at the moment, so I'll not get much DYK updating done for a while, but I'll get back onto it when I have more time. There seems to be a few extra people helping with updates now, so that shouldn't be a problem. Keep up the good DYK work yourself. Cheers. --Cactus.man ✍ 08:00, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Solid Snake GA clarifications

While you're right that it's not ready for GA (totally forgot FU rationales on images, duh), could you come back and clarify your other comments? I'm not sure where you think there should be italics, and I'm not sure what you think is unreferenced (could you {{fact}} tag it or something?). Without some sort of clarification, I'm not sure how to fix what you see as problems. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 20:27, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

That edit is not good. "That is what nijongo (sic) means" doesn't cut it - First off people reading the article can't see the "nihongo" - Second, though, convention for fictional characters is that, if the name actually differs in Japan, you say XX, known in the Japanese version as YY(Nihongo that), - That's what is done for all fictional characters on Wikipedia. WhisperToMe 18:35, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

That's so nice to see that your stress level is down - yay! :D It makes me smile (and I'm sure it makes you smile a lot more!). Nice with the wireless keyboard, too, that's pretty awesome. -- Natalya 00:05, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, you would be surprised to know that I did actually know that you had something on the "Did You Know".

"rollback beats me to vandalism"

Just curious, but why does this bother you? I'd think the effect is the same (the page is cleaned up), so where does the difficulty come in? If your edit is more than a simple rollback (i.e. you're tagging other things for citation, or expanding/rewording the article), then you can still go ahead and add your edits on top of the rollback..right? Or am I missing something? -- nae'blis 18:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA

Hi HighwayCello,

Good to see you've decided to re-apply for adminship. I was neutral last time, but I'm likely a support this time. One detail though: I'd like to see a link to your last RfA from this one. I believe its pertinent information and it would be much better if you are open about the first RfA. Some editors may believe that you are trying to hide the past. I'd hate to see your second RfA run into opposition because of that. Good luck, Gwernol 22:28, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Good luck!! :D

That's very exciting! I wish you the best of luck, my friend, and will be keeping a close eye on it. Whatever happens, do not become discouaraged, or I'll have to beat some sense into you over the internet! Regardless of things that people may have already said, you would do well. -- Natalya 22:56, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

That's because you don't suck. You just got some unforuntate first oppose votes that have made it too easy for everyone else to oppose. I'm sorry it's not going so well. :( I've never been a fan of withdrawing RfAs (just a personal thing), but if you did now, you could always come back the third time and compare how civil you have been since then, which would be fine, I'm sure. -- Natalya 23:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry it didn't work out, Highway. But hey, there is a positive side to this! As opposed to your first RfA, now you really only have one thing to work on, as you've certainly got everything else down. I bet in two or three months, if you've stayed really civil, and worked on resolving disputes, and have a lot of good examples of it, you'll be a shoo-in candidate. I know that you can do it, that is, if you still want to (don't go running off the Wikipedia now!). Drop me a line when you're feeling better, -- Natalya 12:03, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar Brigade? Sounds fun.--the ninth bright shiner ^talk 00:37, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Supportive note

Just saw your RfA and thought I'd note that i think you've been doing some great stuff. However many of the oppose votes do make a good point. For example:

"Some people say Fight fire with fire, but I say Fight fire with water. A long period of consistent good humour will help a subsequent RfA. Stephen B Streater 09:55, 28 July 2006 (UTC)"

There is no doubt this can be remedied in the future. People do take note of changed behaviour.

For me this edit was actually worse than the swearing. That type of response is not constructive and can really initiate a long negative interaction. Try and reply positively, even if you have to count to ten or lie. An admin needs to facilitate non-productive editing towards productive editing. patient explanations of what they are doing is more helpful and will foster a fun editing environment. Some of your interactions do exactly the opposite.

Hopefully these comments will be viewed constructively. Feel free to ask for candid, but friendly, opinions if your are in doubt. In summary i see much more positive than negative from you as an editor. Unfortunately your negatives are a turn off for many, but can easily be reversed by 3 months of good editing. David D. (Talk) 17:12, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, HighwayCello, thanks for supporting my RfA, with a tally of 104/4/7... 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! Yanksox 07:39, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

RfA closed

Hi. I went ahead and closed the RfA as you requested on the Bureaucrats' noticeboard. I hope this is OK, even though I have previously being involved in the dicussion. I thought that you would prefer for it to be closed now, rather than having to wait any longer. Cheers TigerShark 11:21, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Although I opposed your RfA, this does not have to be the case in the future. If you keep a cool head and re-apply in a couple of months time I should have no qualms in supporting you. Hope you aren't too down about the result, being judged by your peers is never easy but it is a good thing to learn from. Good luck and good editing. Viridae^Talk 13:54, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

As last time, I would echo Viridae's comment above. Please don't be despondent but try to learn from the criticisms made. You are a great editor; keep up the good work. --Guinnog 13:55, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Your RFA

Highway, as I see it, the main issue here is your attitude to new users/users who disagree with your opinion. In the past you've given some very unhelpful and sarcastic responses to other people. Even if what they're saying is complete rubbish, you need to get rid of this "you don't know what you're talking about so it's Ok for me to insult or ignore you" attitude you have, as it's totally the wrong attitude an admin should have. Also, you are undeniably very confrontational at times. People are going to be intimidated by you if you act the way you do now with admin powers, and I fear you would use that to get your own way, which is not on.
I do acknowledge your work on the various Pokemon articles you edit, and an FA is certainly something to be proud of. Also note that I've never actually had a conflict with you myself, so my comments weren't out of spite or revenge or whatever. -- Steel 14:40, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Wait, it gets wierder! User:Cathryn has the same userbox on her page, but she made the "u" lowercase. Despite the fact that they link to the exact same template, I changed that in my page and now it's back to normal on my page, while {{User handbell-1}} is still a massive cat. Soooo wierd. -- Natalya 21:25, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Possible Electabuzz Evolution

I notice that you always remove any mention of the unnamed Pokémon from the Electabuzz article. I think you should reconsider. You are correct in your statement that any connection between these Pokémon is at this point speculation, but consider the following analogy.

Let's say that here in the real world, a new species of bird is discovered. This species shares many characteristics of the extinct dodo bird. Now, scientists have captured a specimen and research is being undertaken to determine the link, if any, between these two species. While this research is still underway, somebody creates a section under the 'Dodo' article mentioning the new species and the possible link. This information could be useful, pertinent information to someone studying the Dodo. Additionally, the Dodo article is the first place someone will look when trying to find the article about the new, unnamed species.

Similarly, when someone is looking for the article on the new, unnamed Pokémon, the first place that they will look will probably be the Electabuzz article. Also, anyone interested in Electabuzz will almost certainly be interested in the new Pokémon. I know that I personally am putting off training one until I find out if it does receive an evolution. Should the new Pokémon be listed as Electabuzz's evolution in the table to the right side of the article? Definitely not. However, I would claim that the aesthetic similarities between the two Pokémon warrant a mention of the new Pokémon within the Electabuzz article as long as the mention makes clear the speculative nature of the connection. Clearly, I'm not the only one that feels this way.

Although I don't appreciate the biting sarcasm you often put in your comments when you edit a page, thanks for all your hard work on Wikipedia, especially on the 4th generation Pokémon. Overall, the articles are clearly better for your vigilance. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.118.34.154 (talk • contribs) .

Wikipedia:Editor review/Minun

Please review me —Minun ^{Spiderman • Review Me} 18:54, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Diamond/Pearl

Dear Colton, please remain calm when editing, as other editors may have different opinions than you, which is both allowed and encouraged. Wikipedia is built on both mutual thought, and out going thinkers, and we need both to function, so please let other editors voice their views and ideas. While the current version of the article follows the MoS closer than the prior version, many infrequent editors become accustomed to a previous version of an article, and prefer over the updated version. If you disagree with these changes, please calmly explain your rationale on either the talk page or the editor's user talk page. Thank you, Highway ^{Return to Oz...} 20:26, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I understand your point. I overreacted. It just irritates me when someone waltzes in and destroys the hard work I put in making the article better. The way I had it was more encylopedic. There is a policy against "video game guides". All of the data on techniques and Pokémon is irrelevant to the article. When will there be too many? When there are 50 to list, or 100? You know what I'm saying? I'll try to be more calm with this in the future. Thank you for your advice.--Coltonblue 20:32, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

DYK - Boy Scout

My question/inquiry was just that, not a complaint about your actions. I think I understand what took place, I was just inquiring as to whether, since there seemed to have been some miscommunication, that on the next admin update, it could be considered. Your work on DYK is appreciated. Thanks for the quick response. — ERcheck (talk) 22:59, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

DYK

Was wondering if you could provide feedback on why the John Warfield Johnston article didn't get picked? It was never contested and when I realized it had expired I asked for feedback since it was my first time, but no one replied... I know you guys are busy, but was just hoping for some tips it being my first nom? Thanks! plange 00:32, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Succession boxes

True, it is reduntant, but the succession information is almost illegible on many pages, akward at the top if you wish to read about every Pokemon in order, and many similiar succession boxes on other pages have the information in the top info box and the botton succession box such as George H. W. Bush. BLong 11:37, 30 July 2006 (EDT)

Green stress level is good, other RfA things

I'm glad to see that your stress level is in the happy green (Esperanza! Yay :) section, and that you seem to be doing well after your RfA. Well done on handling it so well. Also, on the "off chance" that I were to...... renominiateyouforadminshipifallgoeswellinacoupleofmonths, do you mind if I keep a page of diffs with lots of examples of respectful and civil behaviour on your part? I don't imagine you'll mind, but wanted to check... figured lots of good diffs in response to your last RfA will certainly help...... if I nominated you... *shifty eyes*. What? I don't know what you're talking about ;) -- Natalya 11:25, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Ahahahaha! Beat you too it!. Feel free to add anything there if I miss it, I can only wikistalk you so much. ;) -- Natalya 11:33, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Barnstar brigading

Awesome template! That makes it much, much better! You should updated the barnstar brigade page (unless you already did, and I missed it) so that everyone will know about it.

Did you change your signature from or to pink? It certainly looks more pink now (unless you've changed it again), before it was kind of a coral color.. :) -- Natalya 22:27, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm unfamiliar with this, but could you find out how to punish GBASP for his vandalism? He'll keep on doing it... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Coltonblue (talk • contribs) .
