 Esperanza Elections 

Hey Banes! I wish to say thanks for your vote at the Esperanza elections.

I've made my way into the Advisory Committee, so if you ever need any help or have any queries about the stuff we do, please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks again,  

Hi Banes! A note from me too, thanks for your vote! Like KnowledgeOfSelf said, please let us know if there's anything we can do for you! You know where to find me -) eB 

 RfA thanks 

Thank you for voting on my RfA, it passed with a final tally of 68/0/0 so I'm now an administrator. If there's anything I can do to help, you feel I've done something wrong, or there's just something you want to tell, don't hesitate to use my talk page. Thanks. -  

 Protected areas 

Hi Banes...glad to hear from you. I am about to close down shop here but will get back to you later...you'll be long asleep, but will post all I have to your usertalk so you can get busy tomorrow...surf around in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Protected areas and I see there is a handy map and template all ready to go... 

Did you need any more links to get you started? I can help you find links that will assit you with the latitude and longitude and area of the parks in S. Africa. a good one is here and it lists most parks and protected areas. Click search for sites, then serach by country, query South Africa and it will provide some pieces of info that may be helpful with the infobox. Let me know if there is anything else you need for this. 

 Thanks! 

Yay for the internet gods, eh? )  

 Thanks 

Thanks for reverting vandalism on my user page. I assure you that I am not interested in NASCAR porn, although I did hear something about Matt Kenseth being featured in Playgirl a couple years ago. Thanks. Tlluride 

 Re: Block Log on user 62.171.198.5 

Sir, I wish to ask if you would consider extending the ban on this IP for the persistent and annoying way they seem to wish to disrupt the wikipedia.  Previous bans of 24 and 31 hours have obviously slowed things down, but the IP is reported as belonging to Research Machines Inc, and its understood that abuse of this IP would result in reports of network abuse to be passed to them.  

The IP has an extraordinarily long list of vandalism attached to its name, and I can barely find one edit under the user contributions which is not, or does not amount to outright vandalism.  Could I please ask therefore that you consider extending this ban to 48 hours or thereabouts.  Previous bans seem to have had no effect since the talk page for this IP is full of bans and vandalism warnings.  

Please understand that I would never question the decision of an administrator, as I am not one myself and would consider that the height of rudeness.  All I ask is whether you could please reconsider the ban and possibly extend it.  Thank you.    Thor's pet yack

I'm not sure. I don't want to go, but I don't know if I can continue to contribute if i'm basically under the threat of being blocked for having an opinion, even if they don't block me. This place is run by bullies. I'm tired of seeing people be hurt, i'm tired of being hurt myself. Now's not a good time to be around
