[edit] VandalProof

Hi, I'm sorry to hear you can't log into VP. There appears to be a problem with the programme at the moment, with regards to moderating the User List, which three moderators have had within the last 24 hours. It may have something to do with that, or may have something to do with you being previously an apporved user and we may need to delete your previous account to get this one to work, but we can't do anything currently as the moderator tools aren't working.

So basically once I know any more I'll let you know, but we are working on it. If you've got any more questions leave me a message. --Wisden17 14:54, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for letting me know. Please contact me once these issues have been resolved. Wes! • ^T_c 17:41, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Good news and bad news. Good news now know what the problem is, bad news will take a little while to resolve! AmiDaniel replied to a question I left and to quote "Oh, and for User:Wes!, the exclamation point is what's causing the problem--User:That Guy, From That Show! had a similar problem. The bug is now fixed in the next version (to be released this weekend)."

So you'll have to wait a few days before you can use it. Blame it on the exclamation point!!! --Wisden17 20:09, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I figured so much. The excitement will always get you. Of course, if that darned username usurption process would get figured out, I would've taken User:Wes. Oh well. Thanks for the help, I'll assume it's fixed once 1.2 is released. Wes! • ^T_c 20:27, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, yeah if you have any more problems after 1.2 is realeased I'd advise getting in contact with AmiDaniel, as I can't really help on that matter, as I'm not au fait with the source code. --Wisden17 18:31, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vincent van Gogh

I've noticed you've reverted some vandalism on this article, so I thought I'd draw your attention to this proposal on the talk page. Tyrenius 01:43, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

I wear my userpage vandals like stripes on a letterman's jacket. :) --Zpb52 06:42, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal

You are nothing more than a high school VANDAL^{[citation needed]} -- leave other user pages alone and mind your business. Almost Famous 17:47, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

It is against Wikipedia policy to allow blanking of one's talk page. You asked for an archive in this edit and I happily obliged per WP:BOLD. I have no vandalism in my record; if you believe an edit of mine could be considered vandalism, I'd prefer you to bring it to my attention before resorting to personal attacks. Wes! • ^T_c 23:06, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pro-choice

I'm unsure about what content was lost in my version but DO NOT believe that the word ethical should be included. Besides that Alienus' version has some spelling errors, and seems to be a little biased. I did revert back to my version (with some changes) and would be glad to help out fix the information. Chooserr 05:56, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I'll take another look at the revision, I seemed to see a number of spelling errors and apparent NPOV issues on quick glance. Mostly, it seemed like a jumbled and hurried edit, perhaps a {{test}} warning should've been used. The second revision you made is fine. In the future, make sure to use the preview button to check for errors before you save changes. Happy editing, Wes! • ^T_c 06:02, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Almost Famous

You are NOT and administrator, and therefore you have no right to restore anything on MY talk page. You have no RIGHT to WARN me. This is MY WARNING TO YOU! STAY THE FUCK AWAY! Almost Famous 04:41, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bambi II

Hi Wes, thanks for reverting the nonsense on Bambi II. I appreciate your help.

Cheers --Starionwolf 04:35, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] tank513

please do not remove the speedy deletion tag. It meets the criteria perfectly. Thetruthbelow 07:29, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I think we should be more willing to not bite the newcomers and let it go through a review. Clearly someone has put work into this article, and by losing it in the system, we will lose a contributor. Wes! • ^T_c 07:30, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

That article is poorly written, and extremly non-notable and filled with vanity. If an admin. feels that is should be listed for regular deletion rather than speedy deletion, he will change it. Thetruthbelow 07:31, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

The least you could do is explain what's going on to this particular problem/confused editor. I'll go ahead and do that now. Wes! • ^T_c 07:33, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

On second thought, looks like someone already did here. Oy. I'll let an admin do what they want, seeing that the editor has been properly notified and an attempt has been made civil understanding. Wes! • ^T_c 07:36, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VandalProof

I noticed that when you were warning User ChrisZ, you warned him on his user page instad of his user talk page. [1] I moved it ot the right page. Hbdragon88 21:14, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Gah, thanks. I'm getting some reverts in before graduation. You excited or what? Wes! • ^T_c 21:15, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Definitely excited. Are you going to grad night? Hbdragon88 21:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Of course. See you there. Wes! • ^T_c 21:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You changed the Pure pwnage trivia page for no reason.

Why did you change the trivia for pure pwnage, I see nothing wrong in showing the first three loyal fans that got to the latest premier, and showing their dedication. What is wrong with stating that on wikipedia? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 3dozerbuild (talk • contribs).

The page in question, Sohh is a page filled with vanity, cruft and non-notable instances on a given forum. That the page itself is notable does not mean that every occurance on the page is notable. Help me help you and keep your page on the Wikipedia by limiting what is of a necessity on this page. If Sohh is interested in making its own Wiki, please see How to start a Wiki, among other resources. I will attempt to get the page to a level that is reasonable for the Wiki community, but it may require protection from anonymous editors, amongst other things. Wes! • ^T_c 02:23, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SOHH Page

look im a poster on the SOHH Forums and I know what I'm talking about about, The changes you made were not appropriate. There are some problems with the pages but over all its accurate. The changes you made were to radical you cant just go and erase stuff that you dont know anything about. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mathv (talk • contribs).

Listen, I'm not claiming that it's incorrect, that it ever happened or that it wasn't important to the SOHH community. What I am saying is that it is not encyclopedic for this particular project. If SOHH were interested in developing its own Wiki to go into the cruft of its past, then I invite it to. However, it is incorrect to use the resources here to include non-notable movements, factions and disputes. Please read that Wikipedia is not a publisher of original research, a soapbox, or an indiscriminate collection of information. That I'm not a registered user at the SOHH forums does not entail much about a lack of knowledge regarding certain events and their right of inclusion. Wes! • ^T_c 12:24, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Gates-pie.jpg)

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Gates-pie.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 00:10, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The party

Hi Wes. I just dropped in a day before to arrange for your birthday party scheduled for tomorrow. --Bhadani 10:27, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Birthday!

Hungry? Here's a little snack for you on your birthday, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day, Wes!!

Michael 00:05, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Happy birthday on behalf of the Birthday Committee! May you remain a great editor to the Wikipedia, and good luck in your life! +Hexagon1 ^(t) 00:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Happy birthday

I noticed you on the Esperanza calender, so I would like to wish you happy birthday, cheers —Minun ^{Spiderman • Review Me} 10:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I missed the party. I wish you happy birthday. --Bhadani 09:07, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[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.

The last AC meeting (full log) 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! The In development section of the proposals page has been created. 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. 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. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, Freakofnurture, and Titoxd 05:03, 14 August 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] External links?

No idea how this contact works? Hope you get it.

The external links I was adding are to a lyrics site, most albums I view on wiki have them? Otherwise, sorry, and please remove them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 196.211.91.142 (talk • contribs).

Your additions to Wikipedia are greatly appreciated, but unfortunately, we can't add links to lyric sites to album pages. If you see them on another album page, I encourage you to remove them as they are both spam and a breach of fair use. Lyrics don't fall under fair use, in the same way that we aren't able to include full text of Stephen King's new book or a new poetry anthology. There are many ways to add to the project that don't include adding external links to lyric sites. Hope to see you around! Wes! • ^T_c 11:31, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] STDs - info for teenagers

Hello,

Happy to know you. I am interested in adding content on STDs. My focus will not be about the facts etc., but the basic quesries that trouble people. Such as whether they may contact a STD if a girl's menstrual blood spills on someone's thighs and so on. People face unique problems and most of them are teenagers. How do I do that? Will you guide?

Regards,

Joric—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.182.21.129 (talk • contribs).

Thank you for your interest in helping to add content to Wikipedia. The edit that you made that I reverted was a result of an addition of a link to another site that added no additional information than was already on the site. The best way to go about editing Wikipedia is to add content, rather than links. Feel free to learn about ways you can contribute by learning your second steps. If you want any Wikipedia:Tips, check those out too! If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask me here. Wes! • ^T_c 18:57, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mistake

Hi

You're doing a mistake, this text is not copyrighted, I wrote it this afternoon.

By the way, I'm French and live close to the battle location, it would have been difficult for me to find acopyrighted text in english on the topic!

>Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Battle of Saint-Mihiel article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Wes! • Tc 10:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Admin coaching

As it's been a while since you signed up for admin coaching, I am just checking that you still wish to receive it. If so just add you name to the "Unassigned" section of the coaching box, and you'll be assigned a couple of coaches as soon as they become available. Let me know (on my talk page) if you have any questions. Cheers, Petros471 10:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[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.

The last AC meeting (full log) The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage. 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! The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it! TangoTango has written a script for a bot that will list new members of Esperanza, which will help those who welcome new Esperanzains greatly! Signed...

[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...

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Rachelbilson.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Rachelbilson.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Oden 03:08, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Happy First Edit Anniversary From Randfan

Happy First Edit Day, Wes!, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee, myself, and Bearly541! Congrats for staying with Wikipedia this long. Much too many people create new accounts, do a few minor edits, and just quit. Have a great day! --Randfan

Good job for staying with us! Keep up the good work. Cheers! :) —Randfan!! 00:52, 15, December of the year Anno Domini 2006m (UTC)

Congratulations! It's been... 1.. 2.. 3.. ___(plug # in) years since your First Edit Day, Wes!! Have a fantastic day and keep up the good work! From the Birthday Committee and myself! --lovelaughterlife♥talk? 03:11, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Ludacris.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ludacris.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShadowHalo 07:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
