Again, welcome! - Flockmeal 04:09, Apr 9, 2004 (UTC)


Sorry-- I never got back to you from before about the glitter article I edited. I took out the line about the gay community because its premise was unfounded, and furthermore, its placement in the article drew an erroneous link between adult females and gay men. While some gay men undoubtedly exhibit feminine characteristics, they (we) are by no means women. Also, some (in fact, most) transvestites who might make use of feminine dress and makeup are in fact heterosexual. I was just trying to dispel some potential wrong assumptions.

Thanks--

[edit] Achaea

I found a decent map of Achaea at this web site. But I'm not really sure what to do with images regarding proper permission. If you could help me with that a little, I'll put the map into the page. Thanks. --Spout 08:50, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, I just looked at that map again, and I realized that it's not all that great. (Mostly because it identifies skiing and beach areas - not exactly good for a medieval principality) Sorry for wasting any of your time with this and I'll keep looking around. --Spout 08:57, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Super Size Me

Hi, what exactly is wrong with my edit in the article Super Size Me? - The content or is the sentence in a bad language or something? There's really hard evidence that Spurlock took anabolics, so I thought writing It seems... would be fine. --Tobias Schmidbauer 15:30, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taylor Hanson, et al

I have posted merger discussion templates to all the pages. I have on a prior occasion done an AfD for an article that I believe should have been merged. At that time, I was advised that Merger discussions were not appropriate for AfD nominations and, if I wanted to merge, I should just incorporate the merged materials and then do a redirect. That's what I did. Needless to say, the conflicting signals I am getting on this is somewhat aggravating. One question I have is at what point after the merger items are posted, and assuming everyone agrees to the merger, can I reinsert the redirect? Jtmichcock 15:22, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comics

Yeah I noticed that we could've taken the talk page of Omega-Levels to an extreme level there before someone edited the entire thing out. Anyways, Civil War looks interesting enough, though if Squirrel Girl does transcend into a Galacti-Squirrel, my God I'm there. That's something I just have to see.

Decimation I liked even though they screwed it up with Archangel. Is he depowered or a 198. I'm enjoying the 198 storyline for some odd odd reason although you can't tell me that in the there were only 1, 980000 mutants in the world. And killing off some of the depowered characters in New X-Men vol. 2 was kinda cheap... especially since the only properly introduced one was Tag. I give Marvel at least 6 months before the mutant populace grows to its once thriving size and the depowered become the powered again.

Is the Illuminati part of the Civil War storyline do you know? Granted I've only been reading the Exiles World Tour of late.

As for Marvel Zombies... gotta love the zombie takes of the covers ay. I especially love the X-Men one and the Spider-Man wedding one. Heh. Gruesomely creepily cool. Explains why I like Resident Evil, Silent Hill and some of George A Romero's movies. Originalsinner 10:57, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pop-ups

See here You can remove the line div[id*="popup"] in the css file and restart the browser to make it work. But the adblock would be less effective. Dodo bird 07:27, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Are you using this. If so, go to my computer>c:/>doucuments and settings>your user name>application data>mozilla>firefox>profile>xxxxx.default>chrome> Open usercontent.css with notepad. scroll down to div[id*="popup"]' and remove the line. Save and restart your browser.

I believe the adblock plugin is different from the adblock method mentioned in the above link. You are not using the usercontent.css adblock method. So, the problem probably lies elsewhere.

[edit] Danko Georgiev

Dear Rhymeless, I wish to ban Danko Georgiev from Wikipedia for his repeated accusations of Fraud to me regarding my experiment [1] on the talk pages. My experimental results were verified by faculty from Harvard and other schools. I will not allow this idiot to ruin my reputation. He must be repudiated by the Wikipedia community. Any help you can offer in this regard would be appreciated.-- Afshar 06:58, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beware of Tobias Schmidbauer

Tobis Schmidbauer also vandalizes the German wikipedia; e.g. the article on Guantanamo-Bay and organic farming. In the article on Guantanamo-Bay he changed a headline without giving a reason over a time of at least two months. He is the only user in the discussion forum on Guantanamo-Bay who believes that his weird behavior is correct. He is a 19-year old student who claims on his German wikipedia site that he is Donald Duck. When a vandalism notice was issued, he suggested two articles of this person for deletion as a revenge within half an hour after he found the notice. When the author of the two articles (a renowned scientist) opened the discussion on the deletion he found at this time only a masturbation photo which appeared to him to be posted by Schmidbauer (in fact the photo is from an anonymous IP)!!! He is also calling this person a revisionist and other insults. Two German admins endorsed this behavior, they didn't delete these insults, instead they blocked the author who just tried to keep an article free of vandalism and who removed Schmidbauer's nonsense and insults.

[edit] The Eternals.

Hey dude,

Sorry bout the non-contacty-ness and stuff. Just relocating and shite. Anyways, since you're the only admin-type I know, take a gander at the reversion war going on in the Eternals.

[edit] A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Georgia Move

[edit] Edits by --Michael C. Price on Afshar experiment page

  • Dear Rhymeless, --Michael C. Price insists on using unsubstantiated claims without proper references on the article page. Regardless of the nature of his claims, I have requested that he does so, but instead he has produced at best irrelevant quotes from non-peer-reviewed sources. His edit follows:

Though Afshar's work is still the subject of ongoing interpretation and discussion, a significant portion of the scientific community is of the opinion that Afshar's experiment does not refute complementarity.

Some general criticisms are:

Bohr's philosophical views on the Complementarity Principle are generally seen in accordance with the Schrodinger wave equation. Since the latter is obeyed in Afshar's experiment it is not obvious how complementarity can be violated.[1][2]
The modern understanding of quantum decoherence and its destruction of quantum interference provides a mechanism for understanding the appearance of wavefunction collapse and the transition from quantum to classical. As such there is no need, in the decoherence view, for an a priori introduction of a classical-quantum divide as enshrined by complementarity. Any experiment that claims to violate complementarity needs to address this issue.

As Michael claims, those statments are supposedly "popular views" that preexisted my experiment, and as such must be present in peer-reviewed publication predating my work. All I have asked him to do is to provide such valid ref.s but he has persistently avoided doing so and instead engaged in personal attacks. He seems to have a lot of time on his hands to be on Wikipeida constatntly, but I don't. This is turning to oneupmanship, and I don't have time for such antcis. Maybe he would heed your request. Thanks!-- Prof. Afshar 13:51, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I will be discussing this issue with Michael Price on the article talk page, and would highly appreciate if you could monitor our discussion and interject when you deem fit. I'm afraid it might get a little testy, as Michael has been persistent on personal attacks. Thanks very much for your help. Best regards.-- Prof. Afshar 17:02, 12 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Vandalism

I see that you recently repremanded the User: SUM OF ALL FEARS over an incidence of vandalism. Check out Bangladesh. I've repaired the flag damage, but it had been replaced by a Swastika. Clever. All best, Griffin147 01:31, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other Vandalism

You recently corrected some vandalism by a user with IP address 24.90.128.68. I don't know a lot about Wikipedia, but it is clear that he was vandalizing a few other articles also. I figured the easiest way to get it corrected would be to tell a more experienced user. Thanks~ 68.249.107.186

Thanks for the advice, but I like to have a clean talk-page. I am new here, and I appreciate the help.

The USI article is something I defend because it gets butchered by angry Muhammad-worshippers quite often.

[edit] August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List
The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential!
What's New?
In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs.
To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  1. In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed!
  2. The In development section of the proposals page has been created.
  3. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created.
  4. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter.
  5. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
  6. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign.

[edit] September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade
Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors!
What's New?
September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves!
Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there!
The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  1. The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  2. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage.
  3. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself!
  4. The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it!
  5. TangoTango has written a script for a bot that will list new members of Esperanza, which will help those who welcome new Esperanzains greatly!

[edit] Basque Portal?

Kaixo, I'm contacting you because you figure in Category:User eu, meaning that you speak some Basque. You must therefore be Basque yourself or have an intense connection with the Basque Country.

If you are interested, please comment in my talk page.

[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.

Nice work on Louis Penfield House. Hey, it's a Wright house that I could comfortably fit in! I was wondering if you recall your source for the statment of the cost of the restoration being $10,000?
