Happy thoughts

Not alone

Thank you. Good to know I'm not alone in that view. Antandrus (talk) 17:58, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

That made me a grouchy Santa. Carrite (talk) 18:01, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

the Bad Site

Saw your comment on FAs at WR: "I've submitted none of my articles to the A/GA/FA process and I never will. When I'm done, it's a B -- and it's perfectly......................... satisfactory.".

Same here. I think Fishery Protection Squadron is my best one, but I can't be bothered to put it forward for GA and go through all the nonsense with the manual of style and dashes in the right place. It teaches people, and that's good enough for me. The Cavalry (Message me) 00:58, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

		The Original Barnstar
		Came here via my watchlist, which I have seen you on frequently. You have expanded quite a few of my stubs. Thanks for that! Reading your talk page you also appear to be doing a lot of other work I approve of, so cheers :) jorgenev (t|c|s) 07:29, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey there

I do know that you have clear views on administration. At the same time, in one perspective of mine, there might be no harm in giving mature editors like you additional tools that they may utilize in times of need to improve the project; and may not utilize when they are editing. Of course, my view may be gravely incorrect. But there's no harm in asking you - would you up for adminship? It'll be a privilege to nominate you. Kind regards. Wifione 18:18, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Summary of reply: "Thanks, but no thanks." Carrite (talk)

Silk Purse Award

		Silk Purse Award
		I am both pleased and honored to present you with the Silk Purse Award in appreciation for your improvements to the Cynthia Basinet article, essentially changing what was seen as a sow's ear into a terrific silk purse. Schmidt, 23:38, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Just wanted to say hello Thanks and Happy New Year.

		The Original Barnstar
		I see you are still encouraging new editors and you are helping anyone who asks you to in a mature and objective way. Just wanted to say I have never forgot how you help me in the first few weeks when I wanted to throw a computer monitor out of the window at times. You are the best wishing you a great 2012 It is always reassuring to new editors that you are here JoeyD2010 (talk) 08:24, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Barnstar of Diplomacy
	Sadly, too few disputes here seem to be independently resolved well. Your actions at an AfD are deeply appreciated and deserve recognition. VQuakr (talk) 00:32, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Special Barnstar
	For your special work to help build the place where neutral should be keep! Farewellmyfriend (talk) 02:05, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar

The Genuine Barnstar

Tim, this is just the second barnstar I've ever presented. You and I haven't chatted much in recent months, but every time I see your work here, I am impressed and gladdened that an editor such as you is active here. I took this photo in Petaluma, California, home town of my father-in-law, and also home of Jewish socialist chicken ranchers 100 years ago. That's the milieu he grew up in. Cullen Let's discuss it 06:40, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

		The Article Rescue Barnstar
		For your excellent detective work in finding solid sources for Donald Duncan. Thanks for your hard work! I, Jethrobot (note: not a bot!) 21:22, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Thanks for your sensible comments at Wikipedia_talk:Wikipedia_Signpost/2012-10-01/Paid_editing.

Bearian (talk) 20:50, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

@Carrite/Tim,

It is another moment of integrity, one in a long list, where the principal, principled defenders of free speech and critics of harassment of conservatives are leftists, notably you (Carrite). Well done! Kiefer.Wolfowitz 11:43, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Barnstar of Diplomacy

A cup of tea for you!

For making me smile at the end of a long day. Evanh2008  11:10, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

I left a more detailed comment at Misplaced Pages talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )/Proposed decision#General thanks to the parties & participants, but I wanted to thank you and the other parties to the arbitration case for your excellent conduct throughout the process. You should also know that the case is due to close in a few hours (about midnight UTC at the earliest). Hersfold non-admin 17:21, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

I misjudged you

You would make a great administrator.

Hypothetically speaking, I mean. Obviously it's not for everyone. Kurtis 20:10, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the nice words. We are indeed dealing with hypotheticals here, as I have no interest in the buttons. Happy editing. Carrite (talk) 20:23, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

I know that, which is precisely why I used the term "hypothetically speaking". :-) Kurtis 14:17, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Passing comment

Beautifully said. Really. I wish everyone on the project would read that, especially the long-time contributors, the more burnt-out ones. Antandrus (talk) 03:53, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

I appreciate it very much, you're one of my Misplaced Pages heroes. Best, —Tim /// Carrite (talk) 04:21, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

For making me laugh today. I loved the Timbo rule about IP editors being dressed moose at hunting season time. FYI you have two rule #6.

The Editor's Barnstar

Brilliant! "It's a mix of grey hats and black hats currently. We all agree that the black hats need to become grey hats pronto or to wind up at Boot Hill. Yee haw. WMF is trying to eliminate both grey hats and black hats by banning headgear. That won't make spottin' the bad guys any easier, pardner!

Civility Specialist II

Tell me you are joking! This sounds like a really bad dystopian film. Viriditas (talk) 10:06, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Just trying to keep an open mind... Carrite (talk) 14:34, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Carrite, I just want to let you know how much I appreciate your great sense of humor. We need more of that around here. Viriditas (talk) 00:33, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

I assumed you were being ironic here, as I'm British. But I often get that wrong with Americans and assume they are being ironic when they're not. If you were being ironic, can you explain why please. DeCausa (talk) 12:53, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the message - I'm glad you see it that way too. DeCausa (talk) 15:39, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Recent AfD

Hey, Carrite. I hope this AfD merge result turned out better than you anticipated: Florida Gators football#Ring of Honor. Let me know what you think. I'm still tightening the text in the particular section, but there's also a huge job to purge a lot of the cruft that the article has accumulated as a whole over the years. Too many young editors think these articles should be a repository of every detail of the current season, and it inevitably creates an unsourced mess in search of an editor. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:30, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Dirtlawyer1 - You're good. Hmmm, I wonder if there should be two different levels of content people at Misplaced Pages: "Contributors" and "Editors." You're an Editor. (You're right about drive-by newbies dumping in cruft, that is a tendency for "big" topics over time...) best, —Tim /// Carrite (talk) 17:35, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
