Masterhatch

Can I ask you which "already defined policy" Masterhatch's moves were against? It certainly couldn't be any of these, could it?

• Wikipedia:Naming conventions "Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature."
• Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) "If you are talking about a person, country, town, movie or book, use the most commonly used English version of the name for the article, as you would find it in other encyclopedias and reference works. This makes it easy to find, and easy to compare information with other sources."
• Wikipedia:Naming conventions (standard letters with diacritics) "Diacritics should only be used in an article's title, if it can be shown that the word is routinely used in that way, with diacritics, in common usage. This means in reliable English sources, such as encyclopedias, dictionaries, or articles in major English-language newspapers." and "If the word is routinely listed in reliable English sources without diacritics, then the Wikipedia article should follow that method for the article title, though the diacritics version should be given in the initial paragraph of the article as suggested in Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English)." and "If it is not clear what "common usage" is, then the general Wikipedia guideline is to avoid use of diacritics in article titles."

I suggest you bring it up at WP:AN/I#Masterhatch, as that is where it all happens. ShaunES 14:09, 27 July 2006 (UTC).

Wickethewok's RFA

Thanks for your input on my RFA. The final vote count was (61/9/3), so I am now an administrator. Feel free to let me know how I'm doing at any point in time or if you need anything. Once again, thank you. Wickethewok 16:40, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

You've got a titanium plated Thank you card! ;)

Open your card!

Dear Shaun, thank you so much for your beautiful words, your kidness and your trust in me. My Request for Adminship is finally over, and the support and appreciation that the community has gifted me will stick in my mind as long as I live. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me, and all I can tell you is, I'll try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, make sure to come here and give me a good yell! :) Seriously, tho, if you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you'll always be welcome to message me, and I promise I'll try my very best.
Despite I've never had the pleasure of talking to you until now, dear Shaun, I really think the best gift that my RfA has given me is to meet people like you, as I see that you're a great editor and an awesome person. From this day on, I also consider you my friend, and I'd be happy and honored if you accept me as your own. With a big hug, your friend,

Phaedriel ♥ tell me

Greetings

A message to Nurse Wikipedians

Open the message.

I guess you're wondering who I am and all that. I'm currently training to be a nurse in Australia, but I'm here for a different reason, really.

Currently, English NursingWiki has around 90 articles, in comparison to the German NursingWiki, which has well over 2000 articles. I was wondering if a group of technically minded nurses would mind commiting some information to it and helping it grow.

It's a little bit different from Wikipedia, in that it's designed for content that Wikipedia cannot have, such as steps for drawing up a nursing plan and the like, but I'm finding it a valuable resource already in my education, and I think it could become a very valuable resource very quickly if it had a group of nurses comitting their knowledge.

Tell your friends, and be bold!
