Thank you very much! I will certainly join up with the new project, thank you for the invitation. :-) Hersfold ^(talk/work) 02:33, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

No problem with that, I barely even worked on it.

Dangerous waters

I bet you know what I'm talking about :) Anyway, you will have my support when you transclude!--Xnuala (talk)(Review) 00:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your RfA...

Don't feel too bad about it. My first RfA wound up being 14/14/10, so you're in better shape now than I was. The only opposition seems to be your edit count, so in a couple months no doubt you'll do fine. Just be careful about letting people know you're running... People might take it as a violation of WP:CANVASS, which could cost you support from people who normally would. Cheers, Lanky ^TAL_K 18:23, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I saw as well - I'm going to try to do more copy-edit type stuff, and clearing out the AFC backlogs should help with the "lack of mainspace edits" as well. I didn't think I'd make it this time anyway, I just mainly wanted to see where I stood. I will make sure I'm not in violation of anything before I decide to send out messages - do you think if I sent messages to everyone involved, including neutrals and opposition, that would be less biased and somewhat acceptable? Copied to your talk page. Hersfold ^(talk/work) 19:00, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your best bet might be to just allow new people to filter in. Currently there's a lot of ill-will towards the WP:CANVASS guideline, but a lot of others are willing to take violations as reason enough for an oppose. Most of the crew who saw your RfA will probably still be checking anyway or won't be around, making the messages redundant. Anyway, have fun editing!
