If you're like to make a main namespace page for yourself, we can redirect your user page there and then redirect the talk page from there back here so you can still get messages.  We really like it when people use their names here. :-) [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small>

Yeah, I noticed that the transparency went away. I wasn't sure if that was just me, but now I see that it's not. Sorry about that. We can revert the change. I was just trying to make it fit into the box better. Best, [[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 14:06, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

Hi. Sorry to bug you but we need 3 sysops to get the following articles unprotected. There is basically no one that wants them protected, as far as I can tell. We are not really sure of the purpose of this but, only that you are supposed to decide when we get to move them back out <shrug>. (Notice the statement at the top of these pages):

==Regarding "vandalism" and other issues==
 
Before I am "officially blocked" by [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]], I would like to discuss a few things and hope you can handle this with authority, etc. First off, Smiddle just wrote that I was blocked for vandalism, and while his powers support this statement, there seems to be no action done and an effective reason. All I wrote (if that's what he is referring to) on the RecentChanges text talk page are suggestions, as the link so suggests. By saying "vandalism" on my page, it doesn't describe much. Vandalism of what? In what form? Some of my edits, yes, may not have been as productive as one may like them to be, but they are by far not close to "vandalism" at all. Another thing. Him adding random comments on user pages (offensive ones at that) for no reason makes no sense. Finally, how do you pick adminships? This is not for my interest; rather, it's to question the legitimacy of this user, that's all I'm asking. I hope you are willing to read this and consider what I wrote, thanks.
