NOTE: Status is currently intermittent for the foreseeable future. Comments may not be answered in short order. This does not imply the violation of any of the Wikipedia policies. I sign on when I can.

My current access to wikipedia is not stable and as such I will not be on much. Wikipedia also has grown more closed and biased since my first edits and that saddens me. So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish. J. D. Redding 19:08, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great job on this article - I just realised I inadvertently removed an image when I was fixing some vandalism/trolling.

Thanks for additions to Skandha

Not sure how you did it (or, more specifically, why your outer-table fix worked), but I very much appreciate your getting the introductory text and two sidebars to line up appropriately on the Skandha article. Good work. Also, your new article on personal continuity looks very interesting and smart. Well done! Best regards, Larry Rosenfeld (talk) 21:05, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration case

Reddi, I noticed that you are an experienced administrator who have edited paranormal-related articles, can you, as an impartial admin, make some objective comment on Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Paranormal? Thanks. WooyiTalk to me? 21:20, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am not an admin.
I will try to add to Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Paranormal if I can. J. D. Redding 21:22, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, but I thought you were an admin because you have the sysop logo on the top of your userpage. WooyiTalk to me? 21:23, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I use that for my own uses ... watching things ... J. D. Redding
