Being Indian is...

Wow, that is a really powerful piece of work. It is listening to your well-intentioned white brother try to tell you about your native spirituality. Ok, so now I'm going to actually do this, sort of though. First off, I'm not saying this is true, I am merely repeating something that was told to me by an anthropology of religion teacher (Hank Wesselman). This could be wrong--he actually says to not go repeating this to many Natives because they often get upset, but I just wanted to hear what you have to say about it. According to him, the idea of the Great Spirit was not a part of any of the diverse Native American spiritual traditions until Christian Missionaries tried to convert Natives to monotheism (he also echoed one of the statements on your list by saying that monotheism really doesn't exist, it's just polytheism with a highly centralized figure ruling over the other lower dieties). Even if this is true, you should be free to follow whatever path fullfils you most, I just wanted your opinion on that idea. Oh, there's a really good punk band called MDC that is famous for their song "John Wayne Was a Nazi" [1]. One thing I was wondering about was the true meaning of Thanksgiving, because I can think of several things that could be. What was your intention in that one? I definitely share your sentiments regarding Columbus. I printed up some flyers to put up at my school a couple years back on Columbus day, but when I got to school I realized I misspelled a word and I never put them up. I should probably do that again sometime. This last year for Columbus Day I wrote an argumentative essay on why Columbus Day shouldn't be honored for my College Comp class (the essay had to be on something current in the mainstream news media, so I used articles on the protests in Denver to justify my writing about it). My teacher is using it as an example this semester for other students, which made me happy, since I get to not only feel good about my writing but know that my political ideas are getting spread around to others. I was also thinking of trying to organize an alternative Thanksgiving type of thing some year, complete with a tofurkey dinner (because you have to enjoy yourself) and some form of public protest, not sure what though. Any ideas? The Ungovernable Force 06:37, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Being Native American in the XXI Century is...

...challenging, from what I can see :) May I ask about the "living on borrowed time after your 44th birthday" line? Please don't tell me that's the life expectancy in the 21st century for a Native American?! --kingboyk 10:11, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I'd guess, based on the poverty of Native Americans. If I remember correctly they are the most economically disadvandaged racial/ethnic group in America (then again, to lump all Natives as one race or ethnic group probably isn't that correct, just like lumping all people from Latin America together isn't very smart, but that's the most convenient thing I can think of in my current sleep deprived state--3:16 am my time, I really need to stop staying up so late on wikipedia).

ESP/Alerts

Hi. I'm just letting you know that I have removed Katefan0 from the Esperanza alerts because she will not be returning for personal reasons and did not leave because of community pressures. Perhaps if you e-mail her she will choose to share her reasoning with you. Again, thanks for your quick response to the alerts page. -JCarriker 00:59, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've commented. I am not sure I support the award itself but I can't think of any wikipedian more angelic than our dear Phaedriel! ++Lar: t/c 20:53, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
My thoughts were in line with Lar's. Sharon is certainly deserving of the award, but I'm uneasy at the process. I'd prefer it if we could send her a big bunch of flowers instead :) Failing that - impractical for obvious reasons - let's just say you're really valued around here Phaedriel and you make this is a brighter, happier place! --kingboyk 21:53, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tone's RfA thanks

Dear Phaedriel — Thank you for your support on my recent RfA. It succeeded with a final tally of 46/2/3 so now I am an administrator. I'll be taking things slowly at first and getting used to the new tools, but please let me know if there's any anything I can help you with in the future. And please correct me, if you spot I make a mistake. Thank you again. --Tone 23:57, 26 May 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Civility noticeboard

Hi, Phaedriel. I don't know if you happened to notice that my "delete" argument on Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Civility noticeboard was by way of being a reply to your "keep" (immediately above), or whether you'd like to respond to it? Best, Bishonen | talk 10:35, 28 May 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Hey

Hey =) I've been going through the same inner debate: I have so much going on in my life, and I'm not sure I have enough time for Wikipedia. I'm sure I'll be coming back to it though, but you never know :) We all love you! — Deckiller 13:28, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your nomination and comments in Lar's RfA!

We are here to build an encyclopedia!

Hi Phaedriel, and thank you for your nomination and thoughtful comments in my request for adminship! With a final tally of (109/5/1), I have been entrusted with adminship. It's been several weeks since the conclusion of the process, so hopefully you've had a chance to see me in action. Please let me know what you think! Thanks again! ++Lar: t/c 03:25, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adverts: Like The Beatles?... Like LEGO?... In a WikiProject that classifies articles?... Are you an accountable admin?...

Nooo!

No! Please don't go away.. Linuxbeak (drop me a line) 20:09, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto to that. I don't blame you, since I haven't stuck my neck out as much as you have, but it is awful that Brandt is going to win. Best of luck to you regardless of your decision. --rogerd 20:27, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NO! Don't leave, you contribute so much to Wikipedia! Karrmann 00:09, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I too would be disappointed to see you leave the 'pedia permanently. Hope your break goes well. Tijuana BrassE@ 18:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Best of luck

Sharon,

Best of luck in your contemplation. May the sun shine down upon you and your weather be peaceful as you look within yourself and decide what is best for you, and you alone.

EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 20:19, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Sharon

This project would suffer a great loss should you choose to go, but no matter what you decide, you can always count on my support, along with that of countless other Wikipedians you've inspired. Good luck over the next few days, and take care, okay? Regards, Sango123 (e) 00:53, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

. Hope you come back. Will (E@) T 09:46, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Same here. Sharon, I want you to E-mail me if you need to talk about anything. You can also visit us at Esperanza and we will be glad to assist you. --Pilot|guy 16:56, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

File:Esperanza.Fhloston.jpg
stressed? come visit Esperanza

Ya know...

Let this be the reminder..

Ya know, I wise person once told me:

"I know the old saying is if you love somebody, set them free, but it is in my nature to always fight to keep what I love."

Well, I came back today to say the same to you. Wikipedia needs people like you, its what makes this place a so much happier enviorment. Although it may not seem like it right now, everyone would be devestated if you decided to leave the project. Please reconsider your descision to leave altogether. If you decide to leave, I truly support your choice and will defend it to the best of my ability. There are a lot of nasty people on Wikipedia. The best thing we can do is to either try to encourage them to be nicer or ignore them altogther. I prefer the latter ;-) And this is coming from someone who was tormented since December, had his page vandalized, was wiki-stalked and ultimately left because he took things to harshly. I would hate for anything like that to happen to you..

Take care Sharon and keep in touch with me -- Moe ε 18:37, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with what Moe said. It would be awful to lose a great contributor *and* person like you due to some misfit's antics. It's your decision, of course, and I can see it's not an easy one. Either way, please stay in contact; you know how to e-mail me. =] Take care, —Nightstallion (?) 10:09, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I want to echo what Moe and Nighstallion have said - you would be sorely missed here if you were to leave. I'm sorry that someone's comments have made you think about leaving - they have no right to do that. You are a fabulous editor and an even more fabulous person. -- Natalya 23:32, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

File:Atlanticpuffin4.jpg Hello Sharon. Thank you for your wiki-loving support and pre-encouragement at request for adminship which ended at the overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0), and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation. If you need any admin assistance, feel free to ask me, and naturally, if I make any procedural mistakes, feel free to point them out and I look forward to working with you in the future, and wish you personal strength and courage in this difficult time. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 06:36, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Solidarity

Just wanted to drop you a note of solidarity in the current mess. Guettarda 16:31, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't leave!

Can I bribe you back with a new Ford Mustang?

Don't leave Wikipedia Phaedriel just because someone was acting ass towards you. If I would have don it, I would have left when Orphan1 dicrimated me by my young age, or when anons would vandalize my userpage because I reverted their vandalism to the Miles "Tails" Prower page. Overall, what I am trying to say is that I have had to run in with the occasional jerk, but I didn't let it hamper my spirit, and it didn't drive me away from Wikipedia, because I have run in to many jerks, but I'm stillediting. YOu should too, don't let someone's jerkiness stop you from editing, You're a sweet girl and it would bad to see you go. Karrmann 00:46, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You will be missed. --Cyde↔Weys 14:52, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't leave, don't let those assholes like that idiot stalker and Brandt let you down. You can fight it. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 20:59, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Phaedriel, I don't know that I ever came across you, so I can't say that I'll miss you, but I read your beautiful message of support for Kate, and realized that you're one of the Wikipedians we need. I don't want to put pressure on you, and of course you must make your own decisions, but know at least that your return would be very very much welcomed. AnnH 07:55, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to hear you go. Please reconsider leaving. Anonymous_anonymous_Have a Nice Day 14:00, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Phaedriel, sometimes the Wiki can be a very nasty place, and it seems like you've gotten more than your share of abuse. Listen to yourself and do what feels right for you. That's the only thing important. But if you leave, please remember that many of us respect you as a very fine asset to this community. I've often been impressed by the kindness and tolerance you've shown to others. Godspeed. Valentinian (talk) 20:13, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HQITWS is back!

With my virus gone, HQITWS is back! Spawn Man 22:55, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What the heck? I thought I was the one leaving??! You can't possibly leave!! We've all been stalked at one point or another (me cause I'm just so attractive!), but please don't go! I'm saddened to see the blanked user page of yours where a proud eagle was once errected! Take time out ( I actually don't know why or what for you left...), but please do come back! I have had a bad time on here lately & I need a friend to walk me through. Your departure is the last thing I want. Besides, you're nearly at the top of the quiz board! Spawn Babe. P.S. live longer & stronger & carry a tazer around with you if you feel you're being stalked. Hope this helps at all....

A haiku of thanks (and still hoping you'll be back)

Thanks for your support
In my RfA, which passed!
Wise I'll try to be.

You are such a lovely editor, Phaedriel, and your support is very special to have. I really do hope you come back to Wikipedia, but either way, want to make sure you know that I appreicate it!

-- Natalya 04:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the trust that you had in me when you supported my Request for Adminship. The nomination ended successfully and I am actually overwhelmed by the support that I received. Thanks again! -- Kim van der Linde at venus 06:51, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yay!

The update to your user page certainly made my day. :) Welcome back, Sharon! Cheers, Sango123 15:39, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It made my day too, at the end of a very sad wiki-week. It raises the proportion of decent people at Wikipedia. AnnH 15:41, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I grow ever more impressed with you Sharon. This hasn't been a pleasant place at all recently, but your strength, courage and warmth will go a long way towards making it better. --kingboyk 15:52, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Really glad to see you back. Guettarda 18:00, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know you personally, but please keep shining light into Wikipedia! :-) This past week (indeed this year) has clearly been sobering. Yet moments like these resolve many to persevere. Damn it, this calls for generic template time! SoLando (Talk) 18:09, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's really nice to see you back. It would feel somehow empty without you here... --Tone 18:33, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know you either, but, honestly, everyone else seemed to be down when you were gone. Welcome back and hope the badness is over and behind you. -- Samir धर्म 18:47, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back!

;-) Glad to see your back Phaedriel. I came back that one day to leave you a few kind words and to hope to God that you would return. I thank you for returning as it was a very sad week indeed on Wikipedia whenever you left. I'm about to post a message on my userpage about my Wikipedia status and what I've been doing while I've been gone. I am super excited about your return and hope to speak with you again. Cheers! Moe ε 21:56, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And I'm not referring to the pink background, that's ... to each their own. I'm referring to the wonderful, sad, joyful, hopeful articles. Very well done, true pleasure to read, enough that I want to tell you so. Of course that makes it hard to believe that you graduated school and were unable to read a sixth grade textbook.

First of all let me thank you for your overly fairminded response to the mgtow issue.

Secondly, let me apologize for the behavior of others who have a difficult time seeing any issue as non-personal.

Agian, thank you and I hope said "actions of others" have not caused anything more than a passing aggravation.

Hi. I just wanted to say that I'm so happy to see that you're back on wikipedia. This might sound weird, seeing as we've never spoken before, but you're one of my favourite users, and it would have been terrible to loose you from this project. I'm only sorry that I didn't see that you were thinking of leaving sooner, so I could have left this message when it really counted. Anyway, if you ever feel down again, I'm always avalible to talk.

Nice userpage!

Quick question: you use both "Indian" and "Native American" on your page - which do you prefer? Also, how do you feel about mascots like the Conard Chieftains? I've heard a lot of second-hand complaints from American Indians (my preferred usage) about such names, but I've never had a chance to ask an Indians personally.

Hi!

Thanks Anonymous_anonymous_Have a Nice Day 19:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back!

I'm soo happy you decided to come back! I'm also a lil' bit big headed knowing that I helped make that decision... I hope you're safe & well & that this stalker isn't bothering you any longer, (or that your bf made him an "offer" he couldn't refuse!).

It can be pretty scarely being a woman out there in this modern world. Women are like dazzling flowers that need every bit of care to blossom. Too often, & too sadly, women are left abandoned & scared. Pretty soon they get attacked by aphids or sat on by a really big labrador. What results is a big upheavel.

As I said it is pretty scarey, the big wide world & you need the right soil & gardner. The world is never as big when you're in it with someone else who loves you & cares for you. Seeing as how we all love you here at wikipedia, (probably debated, but still none more than me), don't feel like you're alone or abandoned in a big garden of aphids. I've had a bad time lately, with my mum in hospital & a huge virus, so I've been alone. But with a bit of help I got through it. So if you feel like you need a ladybug to take away the aphids or some fertilizer (only $14.95 per bag at 4 Square!!!) to keep you going, my talk page is only a few kilobytes thatta way...

Have an extremely nice day & please do drop by my talk. Love, Spawn Babe (Talk page is thissa way!!!). P.S. You'll have to tell me if that array of metaphors & proverbs up there made any sense... :)

I just checked here and it cheers me no end to see you have a userpage again. Welcome back! I cannot say it loud enough, its great to have you back with us Phaedriel (congrats to Spawn Man for helping out :) ), I too hope you have no more problems with the stalker and Daniel (he defiles my good name! :P) Brandt nonsense. Kind regards -- Banes 15:34, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Phaedriel! Its great to be back, and we've all missed you too. *Passes around drinks* All the best *hugs* -- Banes 19:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

designing my userpage

You popped up on my watchlist when you joined WikiProject Oklahoma, and after reading your userpage (and looking at your work), I'm very impressed. If your offer is still open, I'd love to have mine redesigned. May the Wiki be with you--ragesoss 01:43, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds great!--ragesoss 01:58, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll bite...

I am intrigued. I would like you to redesign my userpage, which looks like it was written by a bear. I am so clueless in all this |- and {{{{{1}}}}} mumbo-jumbo... I ended up ripping apart some userboxes and redoing them manually to fit my needs. I have some changes I already planned for when I am promoted in four hours or so, but otherwise, the page needs serious help.

OK Portal

Hi. I see you created the Oklahoma portal. It looks very nice. You probably don't recall, but we crossed paths before concerning a movie article. I mainly work on Scouting articles. I created and maintain the Scouting portal and Scouting project. The portal is a Featured Portal. I wish you well on your portal and think it could be a Featured Portal too. Consider submitting it. If you do, let me know so I can vote for it. Rlevse 13:24, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad you're back. Don't let the jackasses prevail: we're all better and better off with you around. Geogre 17:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Sharon

Dear Sharon, thanks so much for your support during my recent successful request for adminship. You're such a special personality here on Wikipedia, and you bring such a positive attitude to everything you do. I've really enjoyed getting to know you. If there's anything I can do from an administrative standpoint, just send me a talk page message or e-mail me. Take care -- Samir धर्म 04:36, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there

I was wondering if you could help me with something, if it's ok. Can you show me how to make my signature better, like making it include a link to my talk page? Thanks. Josie the pussy cat 23:37, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
