Current WikiDefcon (Vandal Alert Status) and My Vandal Fighting Method!

Warning to Vandals: This user is armed with VandalProof

I just have a few announcements.

• A new sub-discussion page has been formed to discuss the possibility of a change to the membership requirements. I am aware that while I think that they should be raised, others feel that there shouldn't even be any. Please post your opinion on Wikipedia talk:Birthday Committee/Membership Requirements Steveo2 11:03, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
• Please see the BDC Talk Page for more news, including the possibility of a merger with Esperanza. Steveo2 11:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

• While Steveo2 is gone, I will take his place as Current Leader. If you have any comments, ideas, or any questions feel free to contact me. Mr. Turcotte^talk

• Our newest members, since the last bulletin update, are Cute 1 4 u, Bakanov, Aeon1006, scareslamfist, SFGiants, Kalathalan, Astorknlam, and Adamcobb. Be sure to give all of them a warm welcome, and thank you all for joining. Thistheman

• We added a second First Edit Day Template a few weeks ago. We have also added four Happy Adminship templates in the past few days as well. Be sure to wish users a First Edit Birthday and Adminship anniversary. The users and their dates can be found on the Esperanza Calendar on the Project Page. Enjoy. Thistheman

• Many thanks to Draicone for adding headers to our Birthday Committee pages. They look wonderful! Thistheman

• Remember the rules for new birthday templates. You only need my approval if the template is drastically different from the ones already existing. (Just to be clear, I realize I have no right to dictate which templates you can make and keep. However, only the ones I approve will appear on the Wikipedia:Birthday Committee page.) While Steveo2 is gone you have to get my approval. Mr. Turcotte^talk

• If you'd like, you may post on this bulletin board. It's found on Template:BDC Bulletin 1. You may use it to suggest new policy changes, or anything else you think is too important to only go on the talk page. Sign all announcements that you add. Mr. Turcotte^talk

• The next member birthday is: Mac_Davis (September 1st), followed by Hexagon1 (September 2nd). Thistheman

• Everyone is doing an excellent job wishing people a happy birthday and getting the word of our committee out. Thanks everyone! You can check which Wikipedians have been wished a Happy Birthday here. Mr. Turcotte^talk

• As we reach 140 members wished by committee members, I'd like to point out that we're only limited by the number of people listing their birthday on the Esparanza calendar. So shouldn't we focus on encouraging users to add their important dates, so that our 15 odd members (and any new ones, like me!) have enough work to go round? --Draicone ^(talk) 14:37, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Picture of the day

A close-up of the face of a Culpeo, clearly showing its vibrissae, or whiskers. Vibrissae are specialized hairs that grow around the nostrils or other parts of the face in most mammals. They offer an advantage to animals that do not always have sight to rely on to navigate, or to find food, or when the usefulness of non-tactile senses is limited.
