Re: Pimp template

Wow, that was fast. I was mostly calling for a dialogue on the subject, and to be honest I wasn't expecting the template to be changed just like that. If you feel at all uncomfortable with the modifications you've made, or feel the need to discuss the original language, then please do so. Otherwise, I do appreciate the consideration. Thanks a lot, and have a great day! romarin 23:24, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I do realize that it was intended with humor, and that you were not trying to offend anyone. I also realize that the majority of people would probably not find anything offensive with it; it's only in light of the meaning and origin of the word that I think people should be sensitive to the implications that it could have, as it could potentially cause alienation and disenfranchisement of Wikipedians who are sensitive to sexism-derived language. Thanks for your understanding :) romarin 23:30, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

mini-rfc

Hello! I got you started on that user review we talked about on IRC: User:Ikiroid/mini-rfc. From here you can edit as you see fit. Cheers! --Fang Aili ^說嗎? 23:49, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Sure! Destroy all my hard work! Um, I mean, no problem. :) --Fang Aili ^說嗎? 23:57, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I misread that. But whatever. --Fang Aili ^說嗎? 00:02, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Just letting you know that I responded to your comment on my user talk page.    GUÐSÞEGN   – UTEX – 03:25, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: No biggy

I've found out through irc (and by other means) that they are inviting voters to come and vote Oppose (mainly through the Domestic wikipedias). After seeing how ridiculous things can get - see the original vote (without the a), I've got vandal, open POV-pushers and now I've got invited votes. This is actually amuzing me. :) --HolyRomanEmperor 17:03, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

WeekiProjects

Yep, just add your name onto a list and make sure you meet the minimum requirements, if there are any (they vary by project). _-M _o P-_ 23:35, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Just put your name on the Projects list. And you are automatically a member. General Eisenhower 23:36, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Elections

Esperanza elections

---

Thanks for supporting me in the Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. Although I wasn't elected to the Advisory Council, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was shocked at the support, and was touched by it. Hopefully I will re-apply in June and try again for the job. Thanks again, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers}

RfA nom

If you still want to nominate me for adminship, I think I'm ready now. (You may want to do a joint nom with JzG since he also expressed interest in nominating me, but you get first dibs since you brought it up first). Thanks. JoshuaZ 18:26, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Just to let you know, I am now formally accepting (well making the edits to do so) the nom. Again, thanks very much. JoshuaZ 03:17, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the support on my RfA!

A belated thank you to you for Supporting my RFA! I am still finding my feet as an Administrator, and so far I am enjoying the experience. I am honoured that you felt I was ready to take up this position, and wish to thank you formally! I hope I can live up to your expectations of me. Once again, thank you! --Darth Deskana (talk page) 18:22, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

May the Force be with you.

Dear Ikiroid/Archive 2,

Thanks for voting on my RFA! I appreciate your faith in me, and was overwhelmed by the positive response to my RFA; for it shows that at least I'm doing something right. :) I've started working to improve myself already, and I hope that next time, things run better, and maybe, just maybe, one day we can bask on the shores of Admintopia together. Thanks and cheers, _-M o P-_ 21:53, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

My RFA

Hello Ikiroid/Archive 2, and thanks for supporting me on my recent request for adminship! It has succeeded with an unanimous support of 67 votes, so that I am now an administrator. Please feel free to leave a note on my talk page should you wish to leave any comments or ask for any help. Again, thanks a lot, AndyZ t 21:43, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you!

Hello, Ikiroid/Archive 2, and thank you for vote on my recent RfA! With a final vote of 62/2/4, I have now been entrusted with the mop, bucket and keys. As I acclimate myself to my new tools, feel free to let me know how you believe I might be able to use them to help the project. Thanks again! RadioKirk talk to me 05:17, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

Administrator Coaching The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service. This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. Stressbusters The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome! Note from the editor As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!

The last AC meeting (full log) Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon. Signed...

study proverb

I'm afraid my Chinese is not good enough to make such a determination. You might need someone who was not only fluent (or at lease proficient) in Chinese, but is also familiar with these proverbs, as they can sometimes be idiomatic and all that. Sorry I can't be of more help. --Fang Aili ^說嗎? 00:13, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Your nomination of my RfA

Thank you ver much for your well-written nomination. It must have been persuasive since the RfA went into WP:100 and I am now the person with the fourth highest number of RfA support votes ever. Again, thanks. JoshuaZ 14:13, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Community Justice Newsletter

Welcome Previously, various notices regarding Community Justice have gone out to our members; though this is the first actual newsletter. This issue will contain information regarding decisions made on the first meeting, our new council, and more...! If you wish to unsubscribe to future newsletters, please add your name to Wikipedia:Community Justice/Do Not Spam. New Council Following our first elections, a new council has been elected.Computerjoe and Ian13 remain as chairman and chief executive (respectively); while Eddieh, Wiki alf and Xchrisblackx are replaced as councillors by Ilyanep, Osbus and Covington. The Giant Puffin and Pureblade remain as councillors. Member Conduct In the last meeting, the conduct of 4 members was discussed. Ethnopunk will be put on probation, supervised by Ian13, if he/she is incivil during this probation, he/she will be expelled from WP:CJ; the same was decided for Misza13 (voluntarily), and his probation will be supervised by Computerjoe. No action will be taken against Computerjoe. Barnstar The Civility Barnstar which our members have designed has been sent to Barnstar and award proposals. We'd appreciate your feedback! Also, we are planning to make a Community Justice barnstar to give to hard-working CJ members. If you're a budding designer, consider trying to make it, then post your proposal to WT:CJ! Name and logo change There has been no consensus reached regarding changing our name and/or logo neither at WT:CJ nor at WT:CJ/M/1. While suggestions are still welcome, no action will be taken at this time. Programs We are going to try to create programs to more actively involve our members. If you have any ideas, please drop a line at WT:CJ. We will try to work with WP:ESP on one of these programs, at some point in the future. Thanks! Thank you for your time. If you need anything, feel free to comment at WT:CJ or come into our IRC channel [1]. Computerjoe wishes to extend his thanks to User:Robchurch, a non-member who assisted in making {{tracker}} redundant, as well as Misza13 for his continued support and to the whole of this and the previous council. This newsletter was delivered by CJBot, written by Computerjoe, with technical help from Misza13. Computerjoe's talk 19:30, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: your sig

Looks nice, I may try playing with it a bit, thank you :) RadioKirk talk to me 18:05, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Huh?????????

<Mistaken warning removed>

My apologies. In the excitement of testing my in-development antivandalism tool, I misread the diff. I stopped it rolling back, but didn't manage to stop the warning. Have a nice day, Werdna_T^c_@^b_C^m_L^t 18:19, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Don't Worry

You weren't at fault there.

And a compliment, it's rare to see a Wikipedian devote an entire page to asking people to improve themselves. Props to you! --D-Day^{(Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?}) 20:48, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

BOPP'D!

Master of Puppets has bopped you with a mop! Bops promote not only WikiLove, but also steady loss of brain cells! Hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the Moppage by bopping someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend, and help the chief MoP achieve his goal of world domination. Happy editing! Master of Puppets ^{Your will is mine.} 01:01, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Heh, I put a template up at User:Master of Puppets/Bop. Use {{user:Master of Puppets/Bop|<yourself>}} to spread it more quickly; that is, you don't have to. I just thought I'd leech off the "Smile" fame. :P Master of Puppets ^{Your will is mine.} 23:36, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

template for adding links

Hi - Re your question at Wikipedia:Village pump (assistance), before you create a new template I'd suggest you look through the ones at Category:Wikipedia maintenance templates and perhaps bring it up at Wikipedia talk:Maintenance (or some similar sort of place). Note that there are already a large number of maintenance tasks, most of which have significant backlogs. I think you might also be interested in Wikipedia:Maintenance collaboration of the week if you haven't noticed it yet. -- Rick Block (talk) 14:21, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Also in case you don't know, there's a special: page for pages with no incoming links at all, see Special:Lonelypages. -- Rick Block (talk) 14:34, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

My RFA

Thank you, Ikiroid, for voting in my RFA. It closed with a final result of 75/1/0. Now that I am an administrator here, I will continue to improve this encyclopedia, using my new tools to revert vandalism, block persistent vandals, protect pages that have been vandalized intensively, and close AFD discussions. Any questions? Please contact me by adding a new section on my talk page. Again, thanks to all of you who participated!!! -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:24, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Awesome, something to do! ^_^ I'll get right to it, thanks! Master of Puppets ^{That's hot.} 02:35, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
