[edit] Antarcticwik

Thanks for your input, I agree with what you said. I haven't heard that song however. ;-) Cheers, Khoikhoi 02:55, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bienvenido

Hola Asterion. Acabo de leer el libro de Tahir Shah. Fantastico. -- Szvest 14:01, 5 November 2006 (UTC) Wiki me up ®

Gracias. Heehehehe. Lo que me ha encantado mucho fueron los detalles y la psycologia de cada personaje que fue differente de los demas! Pienso en contactar a Shah y visitar Dar El Khlifa. Que tal fueron las vacaciones? -- Szvest 14:53, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Estoy tomando un café noir ahora mismo leendo el articulo del New Statesman! lool! El caballo arabe es una demas! Estoy seguro de que Shah tendria mas de 10 historias cada dia para contar!
Fue la temporada de bodas para ti, hehehe! Aunque no creo ni descreo en los jinns puedo dicir que es un buen señal/signo lo de las bodas, creo yo! lol! -- Szvest 15:17, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[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 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...

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] Malvinas

I disagree. First off, ISO is not designating a name, it is letting you know that that entity has an ISO code of FK (it has no authority to designate a name). Secondly, ISO or not, it really is not referred to as such in English. We do not have to disambiguate if it's not going to be used (and it really won't be—no one will ever look up the Falkland Islands as Malvinas). I note you changed it from I to M, though, which is at least consistent with the ISO use (not designation, because, as I said, the ISO does not designate country names). └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 00:18, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Apologies, apparently it does think it can designate names--not that that makes them official. Countries decide their own names. If the UK does not call them Malvinas, and nobody is going to look them up as Malvinas, then there is still no reason to disambiguate. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 00:23, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Considering that Malvinas already redirect to that article, I think that having the disambiguation would be unnecessary. Cheers, Asteriontalk 00:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Operation Allied Force

I accept that. Good job.UberCryxic 18:52, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Un criterio para las secciones "See Also"

Estimado Asperion, adjunto la respuesta que he escrito en la página de Khoikhoi respecto este asunto. Según tu criterio, Wikipedia está llena de páginas con POV intrínsecos. Me gustaría conocer un criterio escrito acerca del tratamiento de estas secciones.

"Hello: the "standard criterion" that supports your change (a reference mentioned in the "Intro" section must not appear in "see also" section) is not met by other references in that same page (references that Asterion didn't delete, you guys don't act based on the same principles). Other prominent pages like the "United States" article don't meet this principle (please, take a look at it). Please let me know which is the Wikipedia standard on this point, if there is any, to solve this issue. Regards"

Saludos

[edit] RfA thanks

Hi Asterion, I am very thankful to you for supporting and comments on my succesful RfA. Shyam (T/C) 06:53, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks
Thank you for the extra feathers on my wings!

Thank you so much, Asterion, for your support in my RfA, which passed on November 11, 2006, with a final tally of 82/0/2. I am humbled by the kind support of so many fellow Wikipedians, and I vow to continue to work and improve with the help of these new tools. Should you have any request, do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Húsönd 21:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the congrats, Asterion. :-) Best regards.--Húsönd 19:31, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moroccan Spaniard

Vaya caso! -- Szvest 09:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Excerpts from Morocco:
  • In September 1998, opposition parties claimed that Morocco's leader Filipe Congrieve Jerazmenos committed fraud in routine federal elections. Street protests and rallies ended in misery when the US bombardment over Tangier ended all hope of resistance, and subsequently, Jerazmenos was restored to power. -- Szvest Wiki me up ® 18:26, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Heheheh, si, muchisimo! -- Szvest Wiki me up ® 18:40, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your input!

Thank you for taking part in my RfA. The RfA was not successful, mostly because I did a pretty bad job of presenting myself. I'll run again sometime in the next few months, in the hopes that some will reconsider.

In the meantime, one of the projects I'm working on is A Wikimedia Administrator's Handbook. This is a wikibook how-to guide intended to help new administrators learn the ropes, as well as to simply "demystify" what adminship entails. If you are an administrator, please help out with writing it, particularly on the technical aspects of the tools. Both administrators and non-administrators are welcome to help link in and sort all of the various policies regarding the use of these tools on wikipedia in particular (as well as other projects: for example, I have almost no experience with how things work on wiktionary or wikinews). Users who are neither familiar with policy or the sysop tools could be of great help by asking questions about anything that's unclear. The goal is to get everything together in one place, with a narrative form designed to anticipate the reader's next question.

A second project, related but not entailed, is a book on wikimedia in general, with a history of how various policies evolved over time, interesting trivia (e.g., what the heck was "wikimoney" about?), and a history of how the wikimedia foundation itself came about and the larger issues that occurred during its history (such as the infamous "Spanish Fork").

Again, thanks for your input on the RfA, and thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide for the handbook. --SB_Johnny|talk|books 14:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion Review

Hi Asterion,

I would appreciate your comment on the request for undeletion of the following article Spanish Gibraltarians. I feel it was unjustly deleted, partly as a result of my own cock up.

You can find it here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2006_November_16

Thanks --Burgas00 02:01, 17 November 2006 (UTC)


Hola Asterion, que quieres decir con the new for references? Si es the need for references, ya estaban en el articulo que fue deleted pero se perdieron... Habia 4 o 5 references. Si quieres las pongo...Thanks for your opinion! --Burgas00 20:21, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Tengo la cabeza echa un lio. Lo acabo de arreglar. La verdad es que no se que hago en wikipedia ahora mismo. Tengo que estar en Heathrow a las 5 de la mañana... Asteriontalk 20:24, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Ojo con wikipedia que es un vicio! A la cama! yo me voy de marchuqui q pa algo es viernes!--Burgas00 20:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Vale hombre, me tomare un par de Guinness a tu salud! Asteriontalk 20:27, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Buenas! Espero que hayas disfrutado de tus vacaciones. He añadido las references que faltaban en el articulo de Spanish Gibraltarians. Echale un vistazo y si estas satisfecho hazme el favor de votar undelete en el tema de undeletion.

Muchas gracias. --Burgas00 18:04, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Hola Asterion. El articulo de Spanish Gibraltarians fue undeleted e injustamente deleted otra vez por no se que razon. Me he quejado aqui... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2006_December_4#Spanish_Gibraltarians Podrias echarme una mano, una vez mas. Muchas gracias.

[edit] Mistaken revert?

Hey there Asterion, I just stumbled accross this, thought you should know. Seems some good faith vandalism removal was reverted. Cheers. Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 08:39, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Apologies for the mistake. Thanks a lot for letting me know. Asteriontalk 23:02, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

For fixing my talk page. --MichaelMaggs 20:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Morocco Mediation

Given that no one has replied to the mediation within the last 17 days, I am closing it as being stale. From a cursory glance, it appears to me that mediation is no longer needed. However, if this is not the case, then you are more than welcome to file a new case. Thanks. On behalf of the Mediation Committee, ^demon[omg plz] 16:21, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ready?

Hola Javier! Estas dispuesto para la candidatura a ser un bibliotecario? -- Szvest Wiki me up ® 13:28, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

FayssalF would like to nominate you to be an administrator. Please visit Wikipedia:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact FayssalF to accept or decline the nomination. A page has been created for your nomination at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Asterion. If you accept the nomination, you must formally state your acceptance and answer the questions on that page. Once you have answered the questions, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.

Thanks, FayssalF. I feel honoured. Asteriontalk 20:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ref conv

Sorry for the downtime. References converter is now back up and running. About a week ago the hard drive in my server crashed. Luckily it stayed together long enough to allow me to pull all the data off onto a new hard drive, but I still had to go through the process of installing Linux on the new hard drive, installing all the necessary programs, and loading in all of the old data from the server. I got all of my essential services up within two days (CVS, Apache, Wiki), but I kind of forgot about web scripts, which I finally got around to fixing today. Everything should be fully functional again. If you see any bugs, just send me a message. You are receiving this message because you are on the spamlist. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, simply remove your name. --Cyde Weys 19:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
