[edit] Eh?

I tried to do what Ed told me, but the only thing that shows up is User:The Runescape Junkie/StatusTemplate (on the page itself), or whatever's supposed to show up. I put "in" in the status part, but it wouldn't work. Help? Cheers! The RSJ - ^SPEAK 21:31, 12 September 2006 (UTC) (By the way, here's where it is).

[edit] Cute 1 4 u...

You're not making any sense. What account? Is she blocked??? Has she been using multiple IP's? Please clarify.--Ed^{talk c E} 22:39, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AMA

I'm ready for cases :) Computerjoe's talk 15:22, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I took it on myself to put this on hold for now and to close this. The first is a premature request, I copied the discussion that was growing on the AMARQ page to the Talk:Keane page - I think we need to be real firm that the request page is not allowed to be a place to have an argument... I'll be happy to advocate that discussion if it comes, I left a pep talk on the talk page, and a note at the requester's talk page. The second one is a user wanting advocacy for what seems on the face of it to actually be that user's linkspam, I sent an email explaining the policies involved and I don't think they will press it. I'd be happy to act as their advocate if they do decide they want to insist on their link, as I've already done all the research. Just wanted to mention this to someone else so it doesn't seem I'm overstepping some boundary, Thanks for helping out with the AMA stuff! User:Pedant 18:17, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza

Thank you for giving Esperanza a new face. However, I have to report that when I open the page I find a big green rectangle covering most of it. I'm not sure if you're finished with it though. Best regards.--Húsönd 16:28, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

It might be a display issue. I can send you a screenshot of what it looks like when I open the page, if you provide somewhere I can send it to. Best regards. --Húsönd 17:40, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Done. Screenshot available here.--Húsönd 18:02, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] help request

User talk:Nrick is being a real pest: removing cleanup notices from articles that need help, and uploading images without copyright tag left and right.

[edit] Mccready is issued a 30 day community probation related to Pseudoscience articles

Hello

Based on the comments left on AN/I, I issued a 30 day topic ban to Mccready. (see Community probation log [1]) Discussion on talk pages is encouraged. Admins can enforce the ban if needed. Crosspost from AN:

Based on this discussion on AN/I [2] and the numerous comments on Mccready's talk page, Mccready (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) is issued a 30 day ban from editing all articles related to the Pseudoscience. Mccready is encouraged to discuss his ideas on the talk pages of these articles. The the suggested sanction for disregarding the article ban is a 24 hour block with the block time adjusted up or down according to Mccready's response. Admins are encouraged to monitor the ongoing effectiveness of this article topic ban and make appropriate adjustments if needed. FloNight 23:26, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:WHMT

Hello. You may or may not remember this, but some time ago you signed up for a Hangman Tournament hosted here on Wikipedia. The next tournament is about to start, and I was just wondering if you were still interested in participating. If you are, please go to the page (linked above) and bold your name in the sign-up list. This will confirm your registration. If you are not interested any more, please feel free to remove your name from the list. If you haven't responded within 7 days, I will assume you are not interested, and remove you from the list.

If you think anyone else may be interested in this tournament, please drop them a note and ask them to sign up. Good luck, and I hope to see you at the tournament! If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka Talk to me! 13:39, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello, my name is Dan and I've been trying to make readable some articles of P!nk's singles: Stupid Girls, Who Knew and U + Ur Hand but there's 1 user who is editing claiming to be "the" editor and making them hard to read in some computers and for some people because he/she simply "likes" that style. Also the I'm Not Dead article, begins to use tables for the tracklist when that's not in the wikiproject. Take a look at the HISTORY pages of each article and see what are his/her excuses, I've even added chart runs and he keeps deleting those and telling me that I cut information. Compare versions and tell me what you think please. Thanks in advance.DanV 20:05, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: EA Front Page

I'm likely not the best person to ask on this subject, unfortunately; not only does the page look fine to me when I view it with any of the browsers (IE, Firefox, or Opera), but if it didn't, I'm not knowledgable enough to know why. Merope seems to be onto something, but don't worry about it, it will all get worked out. -- Natalya 01:16, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I am going to need an advocate

I think I might need an advocate soon. I'm not sure how we do that... any advice? My situation is an editor making wholesale bad changes to an article that I and 3 collaborators worked for the last month on. The 'other' editor has refused discusssion, has made comments that read as if he knows best, ignored other editor's comments, and requests for discussion, and now has created an RfC, in part citing WP:OWN, while at the same time editing the policy at WP:OWN, apparently with the intent of making our dispute 'clearly fit' the policy. It's going to be kinda grim, as there is about 20-30 feet of text to read to really understand what's happening. Any advice on this would be welcome, I prefer to read it here on your page though, if you don't mind. User:Pedant 17:47, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok I will help you as best I can. Lets start with the article and work our way through there. I will also check the policy and make reverts if the changes are to drastic. Æon ^{Insanity Now!}_EA! 17:49, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. That was quick. Are you still in the Navy? I was a bubblehead on boomers in the mid 70's, and I just noticed your Navy stuff.

The Article in question is Hippies. I want to make it clear that I'd like to de-escalate this as much as possible, and that having an advocate might be seen as escalation.

User:Viriditas has made some drastic changes, I'm not sure what he's angling at, but he seems to me to be bent on changing hippies from a sociopolitical to a purely social movement. He's moved a reference to Eisenhower's farewell address to a spot where it has no real significance, well, I'll let you research it and do the advocate thing. If you look at the article before Viriditas and compare it to the present article, that might be a good start. Feel free to tell me bluntly if you think I'm wrong and he's right, I really just need a neutral editor to look over the discussion. I archived one extensive interchange between another editor and me, when he objected to changes I made, and over the course of a week or two we came up with what we all agreed was a good lead-in to the article. We were going to go through it from top to bottom to make it a featurable article, but now we are not going to make any headway until we can get Viriditas to work collaboratively instead of barging in and ripping down the drapes. User:Pedant 18:18, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

If you would like to keep this off of your talk page as well, it could go hereUser:Pedant

Yes I'm still in the Navy and a quick read through (I will read the rest tonight) I would suggest Mediation if he is willing. I have reverted the the OWN policy back to what it was originaly. So hopefully there will be no more issues on that end. Æon ^{Insanity Now!}_EA! 19:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sockpuppetry

Hello. I was wondering if you left me a message on my discussion page or if someone else did using your name and link because the typing on my discussion page looks nothing like yours. Just wanted to know because I'm being accused of being "abusive" and a "sockpuppet" and I am neither. Recently one of my summaries of a TV episode was completely deleted and I asked the user not to delete my work. I feel that this person is trying to get back as me by acting as though he/she is you. Especially since the user is accused of being the sockpuppet that he/she accuses ME of being. Thanks for your time. I appreciate whatever you have to say in this matter.

[edit] Hello Yet Again Pt. 4

Ok, I found out it was ok to deleted Anon./unsigned comments because the user tried to turn me in for 3RR on my own talk page. Anyhow, this user has a sockpuppet (I believe). Two different people with completely different IPs "vandalized" both my user page (he inserted the sockpuppet and banned codes) and then proceeded to post ridiculous comments on my talk page. When I did an IP search they both turned out to be from the same city, state, and have the same ISP. This is one of his user IDs and this is his other user ID. I have no idea why he keeps messing with me... Anyway, maybe you have a case. Maybe you don't. Thanks once more for everything. Sweet Pinkette 14:34, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Hippie

Thanks for keeping an eye on the page. I appreciate the warning, but would also like it if you could talk with Mombas as well. He has in no uncertain terms demanded that I leave. For the sake of civility, I feel that his behavior must also be addressed. Thanks again. —Viriditas | Talk 00:36, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Just a heads-up to let you know that the attacks haven't stopped, and there's been at least two or three since Pedant was warned. I don't want to see him blocked, so if you can get through to him, I would appreciate it. At this point, I think most admins would block him, but I can appreciate his sense of humor, which does tend to lighten up a dreary talk page, so for that I thank him. If you can convince him to be civil, it might prevent an otherwise unfortunate forthcoming block. —Viriditas | Talk 06:07, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Well That Sucks

I looked at the vandalism page and a high amount of abusers use their IPs. Wouldn't it be better if they had to register? It's also amazing how users keep abusing their priveledges and they get get a "final warning" like 15 times. Anyway, I don't know how Admins deal with it. One guy posted nonesense on my talk page 7 times and I was about to pull my hair out. ^__^ Sweet Pinkette 02:23, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moving userboxes per Wikipedia:Userbox migration

I noticed that with {{User No Napoleon}} and at least with Template:User paranoia2 (which has by now already been deleted) you haven't really "moved" the pages. So the complete history of the templates is lost. I recommend you read the first part of Wikipedia:Userbox migration to learn how to move and redirect the userbox templates, if you haven't yet. Any templates that I find, I will tag for history merging, see Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves. You can of course help me with that because you know best what templates you have copied. --Bisco 02:47, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

I have tagged now all the userboxes on your humor ubx page where I found the original template. The work is in progress (by admins), the ubx will be (probably) temporarly deleted for the history merge. When it's finished you can see it in the edit history. --Bisco 05:33, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] format question

Since I was exceedingly helpful in the design of the EA page (not) I wonder if you could offer me some advice? On my talk page the background is supposed to be papayawhip, and was until two or three days ago (or was it yesterday?). On my user page my vandalism edits box is supposed to have the background colour #660000. Although no changes whatsoever have been done to them (not to the code, at any rate) both tables have a white background now. I noticed on someone else's talk page that the tables I'd written also have white backgrounds.

Do you have any idea why this would be happening? The only connection between the tables is the fact that I made them, and they all started having white backgrounds at the same time. Two are HTML tables and the ones on the other user's talk page are Wiki tables. Thanks in advance...— Editor at Large^(speak) 00:04, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Poke! :D — Editor at Large^(speak) 02:47, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:hey

Oh, no no! That's not what I meant. Thank you so much for the offer, though; I appreciate what it's like being busy!

My code hasn't changed any, but the tables have white backgrounds now, for some reason. I noticed that it's the same on Riana's page; the section with her userbox write-up has a white background when before it was the same colour as everywhere else. It seems to be a sudden problem, where tables that were fine before are white for some reason. I thought maybe it was a bug of some sort. — Editor at Large^(speak) 00:38, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Alrighty guys, here's a rediculously crazy situation: On top of the 10 cases piling up, new people joining the organization, and other crazy stuff hitting the fan... my wife and I are expecting our new daughter to arrive any day now. :-)

As a result, I'm going to be out of full swing for a couple of weeks and I need you guys to do your best to keep the AMA afloat. The Wikiholic that I am, I know that I won't be away completely, but my appearences will be unpredictable at best. I trust you guys, as you've proven that you know how to keep cool during crunchtime, and if at any time things get too unruly to handle, send me an email and I'll see if I can drop by to help out. :-)

Wish me luck! אמר Steve Caruso _(desk/AMA) 15:29, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] We Have an Advocate Problem

One user who is a new advocate is appairently not very much help, telling advocees to just seek medcab or request arbitration. Discussion on WT:AMA#Don't you guys screen your advocates?. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk) 23:20, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Sorry if this isn't the space for telling my case since you asked me on my talk page. Thanks for your time. I will be as short as possible. In, brief I'd wish to retire the offensive mentions on the user pages for The Mekon and Mr. Scare to Keane and Tom Chaplin. I don't care if they say the don't like the band but at least show some respect since they are people and I think is a personal attack to tell people "disabled mental" (said to people liking Keane). I think Wikipedia shouldn't let this comments to appear since is a public domain resource but I don't know if there's some policy for this cases. I hope it can be solved and thanks again--Fluence 02:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you a lot. If nothing can be done about Keane, I will take the only way out, ignoring it, but really thank you :)--Fluence 23:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Desiging Esperanza's pages

Hey Aeon,

Since you worked so awesomely on the front page redesign for Esperanza, we wanted to ask you if you had any ideas in mind for consider having a single Esperanza-related look for all of Esperanza's pages? (Based off the proposed program Massive Page Redesign. It would be nice to have something that looked the same on all pages, and certainly something a little green, but not nearly as decorated as the front page. If you have any ideas, that would be great; you could draft something up, and then it could get shown to all of Esperanza. The idea of making all the pages look the same is a good one, but we'll want to make sure that it's something that all of Esperanza wants. I hope I made some sense, let me know if you have any questions! -- Natalya 21:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] For your great work...

[edit] to Bot or not to Bot

I've done a little RC Patrolling recently, and it's tedious as hell doing reverts and edit summaries manually. Do you use a Bot of some sort? Would you reccomend one? At this point I have several pages on my watchlist that keep getting vandalized and I need to streamline the clean-up process. Thanks :) --Doc Tropics ^{Message in a bottle} 20:14, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Aeon, I'll look into Vandal Proof. I ended up getting one of the pages Sprotected, and I'm considering it for a couple of others. For some reason, Helen Keller is getting vandalized on a daily basis; don't people have anything better to do? --Doc Tropics ^{Message in a bottle} 17:44, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

BTW - I just requested (and received) Sprotect for Helen Keller. There may be backlogs in other areas, but the folks at Protection Requests are really on the ball! --Doc Tropics ^{Message in a bottle} 20:40, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox help

Hi there. Doc Tropics suggested I ask you for some help with userboxes on my userpage. Basically I don't understand how the layout is affected. It looks OK now on my page, but if I swap the order of some of them, the layout gets blown up. I'm not sure which ones are behaving a certain way, or why. Or if there's something in the userbox code that I'm not aware of. Thanks in advance. Alcarillo 23:30, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind me sending this your way, but you are the PageMaster :) --Doc Tropics ^{Message in a bottle} 05:32, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Great, just what you need...another project, LOL! It seems that Alcarillo has made some progress, so it's not urgent, but I'll bet you could still help with some of the finer points. Trial-and-error is a slow way to learn, especially when helpful folks like you are willing to assist. Good luck with your forum :) --Doc Tropics ^{Message in a bottle} 20:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to add that I at least know how to modify the designs to the boxes. What I don't get is why some display a certain way on the page, for instance, if I change the order of some of the userboxes. You can see what I mean here. Alcarillo 20:20, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Eureka! I figured it out. This userbox had these </td></tr> table tags in it. THAT was the troublemaker all along... Thanks for the help. Alcarillo 22:11, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Small token of appreciation (until I figure out how to create my own award)

for helping crack my annoying userbox problem

[edit] November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!) Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed 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. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. What's New? The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one! A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, The Halo, Shreshth91 and HighwayCello 20:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

[edit] Wikibreak + Esperanza program buttons

Hey Aeon, totally didn't know you were on Wikibreak! I hope you have a nice time, we'll be glad to see you back whenever you do come back. I guess it probably doesn't make much sense to ask you now, since you won't be here, but I was wondering if/how you could make the buttons for the programs for the Esperanza front page, as we have a couple new programs. Don't know if you'll get this anytime soon, but regardless, have a nice vacation! -- Natalya 05:30, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Hi, I hit 10,000 edits the other day and to commemorate this momentous (?) occasion, I wanted to leave a note to the various people I've run into on Wikipedia that have made an impact on my time here. Awhile ago, you gave me a barnstar and I just wanted to thank you again. =) -- Gogo Dodo 05:33, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
