[edit] Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome, Elliskev, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.
Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.
In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.
If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!
- No problem. I love welcoming new Esperanzians! Anyway, If you have any questions, I'd be glad to help. Good luck on future contributions and, again, Welcome to Esperanza! Sasuke-kun27 01:33, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Protecting children's privacy
Hi. You contributed to the discussion at Wikipedia:Protecting children's privacy. If you have the time and interest, I'm asking contributors to past a brief summary of their position on the proposal here, thanks. Herostratus 20:06, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your nice note! Herostratus 08:08, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RE: Civility
First off, great nonsensical title for your comment. All I wrote in my edit summary was "Revert. Unexplained decategorization." Second, I wasn't the one who snapped. I was nice. I even said "Please". Then, he comes at me with statement which basically means, "Don't revert me, you informed jerk. I was in the right." I replied fittingly. Also, I doubt he needs any encouragement in the bold department. Now, could you not question me over this? It's not your job, anyway. You're not an admin. ACS (Wikipedian); Talk to the Ace. See what I've edited. 18:55, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oh. Sorry. I wasn't paying attention. It's kind of hard to take a guy who thinks spreading "civility" on Wikipedia is his obligation seriously. Also, adding a new section by editting an old one isn't always the best way to go on talk pages. Try clicking the + at the top of a page. Now, since turnabout is fair play, how about I give you some unsolicited advice? Lay off this gay little mission of yours. And hey, if you really want to do something that'll help the project, get users to leave message on GIPU talk pages when they revert vandalism. More unregistereds avoid banning because of lazy Wikipedians only concerned with an article or articles, not seeing that the vandal stop. ACS (Wikipedian); Talk to the Ace. See what I've edited. 19:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- ACS, this is a consistent problem with you; you constantly behave rudely. Evern when questioned about it, you're act flippant. Take a hint, please. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 22:52, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- I say what I mean and I mean what I say. At least people always know I'm being straight with them. Even you drop the pretenses, Chris-man, like right now. This guy just kept on using the pretense of "civility". I'd hope for a natural reaction like..."I'm reporting you" or "Fine. Be a jerk". Instead, I get, "Have a nice day!" How can I respect someone who acts like that? It's like he's a friggin policitian! ACS (Wikipedian); Talk to the Ace. See what I've edited. 23:51, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Trust me. It wouldn't help if I chose hypocrisy over being sickeningly polite. Elliskev 23:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

I notice you just gave me my "last warning". Tell me, what exactly does that mean? Ace Class Shadow; User talk:Ace Class Shadow. 03:10, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- For the sake of clarity, I'll answer here.
- You have been rude and incivil to editors new and old. The rudeness to seasoned editors can be overlooked as a character flaw. The rudeness to new editors cannot. You have admonished new editors with incivil threats for edits made in good faith. This is unacceptable. This project thrives on the ever-increasing pool of editors. Your admonishings (as juvenile as they are) serve nothing but to deter. Your juvenile admonishings hurt the project.
- SO. What exactly I mean. Knock it off, or I'll request community comment. Not very scary I know. But, it's how this project works. Elliskev 03:26, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Revolutionary?
Lol, I don't think that's quite the right word, but thanks :). Maybe I will resume activity, but then again I don't know. Most of the articles I used to edit are changed so much that they are unrecognizable...and in some ways I don't want to get too caught up in this again. Anyways, I'm planning to make a small edit to the Elizabethian Era article now. Viva la revolucion! Chooserr 07:01, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ..
What would you do in my place? Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 19:20, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- I would refrain from the derisive comments. I would refrain from telling others to ask for permission to be bold. I would make an attempt to show a little respect for the dignity of well-meaning editors. There is no edit that can't be undone. Insults can't be undone. Elliskev 19:26, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

- Well, that whole "be bold" thing is help newbies get the friggen balls to do easy, simple, non-controversial stuff. And as for undoing insults, check the page. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 19:31, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Replied on yours. Elliskev 19:32, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

that wasn't a test newblet that was a true fact the people mover is a stupid name —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.86.108.162 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Peer review
You listed the peer review correctly. The WikiProject Birds peer review is new (yours is the first request) and most people are not aware of it yet. You may also leave a link at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Birds to gather more attention to the review.
Personally I will try to review the article sometime this week. Leave the review open for two weeks, that should be enough time for people to read and assess the article. Joelito (talk) 16:15, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- Great. Thanks for your quick response. Elliskev 16:16, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Illinois services articles
I'm not so sure about merging them; I'll have to think about it more and I'll leave comments on the appropriate talk pages as I get to it. My first thought is that each named passenger train should have its own article. The fact that a service received an official name is generally enough for me to accept its notability. However, that said, I usually defer to my own "culturally or historically significant" rule of thumb for inclusion. This is a bit fuzzy, but I basically decide if a potential article topic has some significance and either include the data in an existing article or write a new article based on this question. I dislike the proliferation of subway station articles as an extreme minority of stations would fulfill my own notability requirements, but the consensus so far (which has been thoroughly discussed elsewhere) is that all subway stations are notable. So far, the number of passenger train articles and their scope has remained at a somewhat more reasonable (I think) level.
As to a trains MOS, I started one some time ago with my own editing thoughts, but it hasn't gotten very far (and doesn't include much on passenger train articles or styles yet). Slambo (Speak) 21:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Great. Thanks. BTW, I'm perfectly happy going along with whatever is decided on. However, whatever is decided on should probably be noted somewhere so there's a precednt for the sake of uniformity. --Elliskev 21:35, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] wikEd
Hi, I have seen that you are using the Cacycle editor extension. This program is no longer actively maintained in favor of its much more powerful successor wikEd.
wikEd has all the functionality of the old editor plus:• syntax highlighting • nifty image buttons • morefixing buttons • paste formatted text from Word or web pages• convert the formatted text into wikicode • adjustthe font size • and much, much more.
Switching to wikEd is easy, check the detailed installation description on its project homepage. Usually it is as simple as changing every occurrence of editor.js into wikEd.js on your User:YourUsername/monobook.js page.

[edit] Speedster (comics)
Hi. Sorry to bother you, but it looks we might have an edit war at speedster (comics) between myself and Ace Class Shadow. If you could chime in with your opinion on that article’s talk page, so that we can achieve some sort of consensus, it would be appreciated. Thanks. Nightscream 10:33, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- I've been off for a few days. I went to the talk page and it appears that you guys have worked it out on your own. Good job.
- By the way, I'm not on any arbitration task force or anything. However, I'm willing to make an attempt to smooth thing out upon request. Not sure how effective I'd be... :) --Elliskev 14:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Diocesan Infobox
To the members of the WikiProject Catholocism
I have proposed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Catholicism an infobox for Catholic Dioceses. I have not gotten any feedback on this proposal, so I’m culling feedback, advice, corrections, etc. for this. If you have the time, would you check out User:SkierRMH/Diocese_Infobox and give me some feedback! Thanks much!!
