My general guidelines:
If I (EVula) left you a comment on your talk page, please just respond there, not here, so that conversations aren't spread out. Similarly, if you post something here, I will respond here.	Sign and date your posts using four tildes (~~~~). Place new comments after existing ones (but within topic sections). Separate topic sections with ==A descriptive header==, and put new topics at the bottom of the page.

How to verify someone is an administrator

Hi EVula. I made a request for a name change, following a request from someone claiming to be an administrator on the German wikipedia. I've attempted to check to verify it isn't just some random guy wanting my username. However, from the look of things, I have been around at least a year longer than him as far as edits go; he does seem to potentially have more, but they might be smaller. How can I verify this guy is at least nominally who he claims to be? His accounts seem to be User:JD_de and de:user:JD

Yup, http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial:Benutzer&limit=1&username=JD Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 20:19, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Looks like I'll go ahead and give it to him, then. Thanks for the assist. JD (talk) 20:44, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

...I love it when I don't have to do anything. :) Thanks, Martijn.
For the record, "Special:ListUsers" can be used in any language; for example, de:Special:ListUsers will automagically translate to the localized version. EVula // talk // ☯ // 23:42, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

coi dispute

Hi, there's a coi disagreement on the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Aaron_Wapniak

Would you mind reviewing the article? I believe the subject matter to be neutral - we need a third party opinion, and I respect yours. If it's not neutral, I'd appreciate assistance making it so.

NYArtichoke (talk) 04:06, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

You'd probably be better off asking someone else; COI violations are hardly my speciality. I took a very brief look, though, and I don't see much cause for concern. EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:01, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

A modest proposal

Spoilsport. I was just getting the popcorn. (Remember, and make allowances for the fact, that most editors on this side of the Atlantic have at this point been drinking solidly for at least four hours.) – iridescent 21:58, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

My apologies. Next time I'll try to let it go a bit longer... perhaps I'm just pissy because I haven't gotten to drink yet. Damn parties don't start for another few hours... EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:01, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

To a good 2008 and to an even better 2009. Happy New Year! Acalamari 23:39, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

You made me bust a seam

Sent you an email a few days ago, just a note to confirm you got it OK? No worries if you're just busy and haven't got to it yet. ~ mazca ^t|c 18:22, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

It came in, but yeah, been too busy to check. I've got the day off from work today, though, so I'm hoping to take care of the two wiki-related emails I haven't gotten to. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 18:32, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Sure, no rush. Just wanted to check, as I've had a few emails disappear into the internet-vortex recently. ~ mazca ^t|c 18:41, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

Dear EVula,

Wishing you a happy new year, and very best wishes for 2009. Whether we were friends or not in the past year, I hope 2009 will be better for us both.

Kind regards,

WP:CHU

What are the technical difficulties that you're referring to? Cheers, Kingturtle (talk) 13:59, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

SUL/global contribs aren't working for several days now, so we can't fully check a rename request. — Rlevse • Talk • 14:03, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Kingturtle (talk) 16:58, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, probably could have used a bit more explanation; I just added a link back to the BN thread to the three notice boxes. EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:56, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
