`  == Willy on Wheels==  Sorry.  I misread again.  I thought you were offering, and concluded this was an admin privilege.  Thanks anyway!    == Re: Drug-eluting stent ==  Thanks, I really appreciate it! This was quite a major topic for me to take on, but I couldn't believe there was no article on drug-eluting stents. Please feel free to improve the article or make suggestions—I can use all the help I can get! I'm going to ask for some help over at WP:CLINMED too. —     == Halo, PI ==  Thanks. I put my hat down on the table, and saw the oppertunity for a wiki-picture. The ammount of pictures I've taken thinking I could use them here is silly )   I really like the picture you've put up as well, especially seeing as I nearly bought a model like that (nice choice of music as well ;)  I'll see you around the Wiki,     == Re: DYK ==  Thanks! It was a fun list to make.

Thanks in advance.  '''''' (joturner)   == Re:Samant ==  Hi Samir - yes I was quite surprised to find this absent. I thought  would prolly have covered it.    == Dr. Chopra ==  Someone actually knows Dr.Chopra! O   I actually know him in person, he's a great friend of my mom, so I will probably contact him to help me in the article (have already started it). Also, to keep NPOV I won't base the article only on his facts (even if they're pretty darn exact). Thanks for the encouragement. People like you actually give me the feeling to stay in Wikipedia, while some others don't. )    == Thanks! ==  Thanks for the barnstar! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by   •  .  == Protection ==  Hi, Samir. I was wondering if you'd consider removing the semi-protection on your talk page. I think that talk pages should be rarely if ever protected, only in the face of continual vandalism that blocking cannot thwart. And if user talk pages must be protected, I think it should be on the order of hours, not weeks. Especially if you're actively editing and reverting vandals and such, your page really should be available for others to contact you. —     :No problem! I was just getting tired of those ``editing a protected page`` warnings when leaving you comments! —     == FA drives ==  Yo - I urge your participation and welcome your advice for the FA drives of Maulana Azad and the History of Mumbai. Please do make some time for these!    == My RfA ==  Dude, why ya gotta remove my celeb votes? > (sarcastic smiley) Sorry I/someone else didn't catch that earlier.—•   == My RfA ==  First of all, thanks for your comment. Since you expressed regret as to how the RfA turned out, perhaps you could clarify your vote for me. You said you thought I had responded to criticism poorly. Well, the criticisms I mainly responded to were not criticisms of my behavior that would be relevant to my behavior as an admin (the criticisms of my user page content, for example, were relevant; I didn't really respond to those criticisms), but criticisms of my preference for maintaining a gender-neutral identity. I consider those comments to fall outside of the bounds of what is acceptable in civil discourse on Wikipedia. It's as if a number of people were citing the fact that I have brown hair as a disqualifying factor. Perhaps there are better and worse ways to respond in either case, but should an editor be judged on how they respond to comments that should never have been made in the first place? I'm trying to figure out what (if anything) to do about this, so any response on your part would be helpful (though if you'd rather not explain, that's fine).    == For your work at DYK ==    ]]`
