Hi again, I plan to bring Ed Jew to GA status. Since you always edit articles of our local SF/CA politicians, I just thought you might want to know. I would appreciate it too if you can help me out and perhaps look over the prose. Anyway, happy editing.—Chris! ct 23:15, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- I believe it is ready for GA nom (will definitely rewrite the lead before doing so). Just wondering if you could give me some feedback pre nom, so that I will have an easier time. Thanks.—Chris! ct 00:50, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
En bloc sale of private property in Singapore
Hi! I'm taking up Spinningspark's suggestion to request that you userfy my deleted page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editor_assistance/Requests#En_bloc_sale_of_private_property_in_Singapore
I tried creating a user page. But when I copied the text over, the hyperlinks don't show up under the "External Links". I don't know HTML enough as I'm also a Wiki newbie. Could you oblige pls? Thank you.

RfA Talk
Hi Kurykh. Let me think for a day or so on how I want to word what I'm thinking on the whole "Too many admins" thing. I think basically that we're both on the same page - we would both like to see a stop to those posts. (along with about 99% of the rest of the community). I'm guessing I'm not expressing my self as well as I want to, and I'd like to find a common ground to meet on. I agree with what you're driving at, and I'm afraid I just haven't been able to put the right words to my thoughts yet. Best — Ched : ? 23:58, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- OK .. I took a break, came back, and re-read. My error. My statement "I submit to you the idea that every !vote is indeed an opinion on whether or not candidate-X would be a good choice for an administrator,..." was not meant to address the "Too many administrators" comment - but rather to clarify that comments accompanying !votes were opinions. I agree 100% that the comments should address the candidates qualifications - and not a perceived view of Wikipedia in general, or any other factors, other than the that candidates qualification to hold that admin. bit.
- I have to admit, when there are so many editors commenting on a thread, (and not all of them adhere to the Wikipedia:Indentation essay advice), I can have difficulty determining who is responding to who. I think we are at least on the same page as far as what opinions and viewpoints should accompany a !vote at RfA. If I'm mistaken, please let me know, and I'd be happy to share my perceptions, or have you rectify any misconceptions I may have. Sorry to have taken up so much space on your talk page over my own misunderstandings. Best ;) — Ched : ? 06:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Rollback removal
Hi Kurykh. I thought I'd let you know that I have removed a user's rollback rights that you granted some time ago. The reasons are on the user's talk page. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 05:11, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Request for help
I thought it might be a good idea to run a contest or two through the Countries WikiProject to attract editors to improve country coverage on Wikipedia, especially the country outlines.
I noticed you are a member of the WikiProject, and was wondering if you could help.
I've posted a message at Countries WikiProject talk page to get discussion started on what the awards programs should be and how they should be run.
Your ideas and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Deletion of the Posera Page
Last October, you deleted the page on Posera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posera_Software) and I would like to know the reasons why. The original page was written from a neutral point of view. The person who wrote the page is someone who has a lot of experience with creating Wikipedia pages and this deletion was the first one he've ever seen taken down. There is a whole category devoted to point-of-sale software, which contains many company profiles, and many of our rivals have their own pages (Micros, Squirrel Systems, Radiant, etc) I don't understand why our page has been deleted and I would like to see it reactivated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MissMorin (talk • contribs) 13:47, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
I see that you changed File:CA2008StateAssembly.png from a vertical to horizontal orientation. I would like to ask you to change it back because (as odd as it would seem) the image worked better vertically. Both California state elections, November 2008 and California State Assembly elections, 2008 have plenty of vertical space, but no horizontal space to spare. – Zntrip 06:25, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
