My adminship

Thank you for voting for me for adminship. I appreciate the confidence you showed in me. I do try to be thoughtful and reasonable, and it's done quite well for me so far.— Knowledge Seeker দ 08:20, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ah, I always wondered what it's like to spill some mind. It feels good. Let me second what Knowledge Seeker says! Thank you for your support vote and for the kind words on my adminship nomination. Kind regards, — mark ✎ 21:15, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Awesomeness

You are awesome! Especially the libertarian, quiz bowler, and geek part. Keep up the great work here on Wikipedia. Bonus Onus 05:38, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC)

Nomic

Just thought I'd let you know that I'm going to open WikiNomic tonight. In case you're interested. Kelly Martin 23:25, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, of course you may invite others. The more the merrier. Kelly Martin 06:27, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

Mersenne

Yes, he's pretty interesting, and did a lot of work in music theory! I noticed you editing him before (good improvements!) I love polymaths.... By the way I just learned what an Extropian is from your userpage; I might even have to tack another label on my own name now.  :-) Happy first day of spring, Antandrus 20:18, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

How to win an argument

I love it!! it's great!!! WP:Argument perhaps. There's great corollaries to be had in other fields of human, um, endeavor, such as driving: Pass on the right. What else do you think that wide shoulder is for? Go through red lights when no one is coming; why waste your time and everyone else's by blocking traffic? Two lanes are merging into one: blast by and pass everyone and get in front! Why get in the middle of the mess and hold everyone else up?

Actually it would be fun to include an item about using the logical fallacy of your choice... :-) Antandrus 18:06, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

New Mathematics Project Participants List

Hi Kat, (nice hat!).

In case you didn't follow the discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics#Reformat of Participants list, I'm writing to you to let you know that I've converted the "WikiProject Mathematics Participants List" into a table. It is now alphabetical, includes links to the participant's talk page and contribution list, and has a field for "Areas of Interest". Since your name is on the list, I thought you might want to check and/or update your entry.

Regards, Paul August ☎ 15:05, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi Kat, thank you for supporting my adminship nomination. I really appreciate it. Best, SlimVirgin 00:05, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)

ha ha ha

Hi Kat, I was wondering if anyone would catch that.... wouldn't want to offend any guitar-lovers, now, would we?  :-) Antandrus 02:48, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

exactly... it's what they're playing. There's some contemporary guitar music I really love, so I decided to delete the comment as being a little over-the-top. By the way, I loved your "common sense" section, as well as the Tansman article (was he in Paris in 1939? Did he only leave for the U.S. in 1941? there must be a story there) Antandrus 03:13, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Your competition

Hi. I just recently joined Wikipedia. It pisses me off when I look up an article and it has vandalism all over it, so I thought I'd help out to get rid of it. I swear, I don't understand people sometimes. Thanks for the complement though :) -TheGWO

Russian Christmas Music

Thanks for your kind words about Russian Christmas Music—I think I'll write an article about Variations on a Korean Folk Song next :-) --bdesham 04:36, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Apatheism vs. Apathyism

I'm a NUG Wikipedian. If you wish to see what I was trying to do, please check the Discussion page of Apatheism. I'll now try to do it in a different way

re: Caring about Apathyism

Thanks for the response. I have always been a person who "pushes to the edge of the envelope." I have read through many of the articles on contributing to Wikipedia, but I have still not digested their content and assimulated the concepts. As I said I'm an apprentice or NUG in Wikidom.

Now instead of starting a new article stub with Apathyism, I will expand the existing Apatheism article. The distinction between the two forms of the word are important to me. Other than the Rauch article, I can find no other word or concept that expresses my position on belief systems. I just have to find the time to lay out the page properly, and more importantly to lay out the two concepts in an "unbiased" way.

Thanks again.

Variations on a Korean Folk Song

That's a pretty funny coincidence about the concert! And feel free to start John Barnes Chance; I think I'll stick to the songs :-) --bdesham 02:02, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

My undying, well at least Apathyistic, thanks

Thanks for the help. I still feel as though I'm "baling the boat with a spoon", but it continues to be a learning experience. I've added some content to Apathyism and registered my vote to Merge it with the Apatheism page. My first solo page is a flop, but I always keep in mind that Thomas Alva Edison failed in business seven times before he founded Edison Electric on the incandescent bulb. I still have hopes of finding a niche in Wikidom. DrBobStirling 03:16, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, and yes

Hey, thanks for Loys, and for letting me know! And yes: my one-year anniversary is next Monday, so I decided I'm probably "ready." I won't be able to answer the questions until after I'm home from work though (this evening) -- can it wait at least until then?  :-) Antandrus 17:05, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
