Vandal Proof

Thanks for the note. Your one true god is David P. A. Hunter, esq. III ^{Talk to me!} 06:40, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you from User:Playnine9

Thanks for fixing my User Page by removing the primate category. I do want the primate stub joke to be there, but don't want to intrude on the actual category.  ;-)

Declination for VandalProof

No, it's perfectly alright. However, may I point out that the VandalHunter account is in fact Wikipedian Ben Tibbetts, who has well over 1000 edits in the article mainspace. I do not indeed take the declination personally but I do respectfully suggest that you investigate more deeply in the matter of how trustworthy a user may be than merely examining their edit count, which is both misleading and (in this case) blatantly inaccurate in regards to their level of experience. It says on both user pages that VandalHunter and Ben Tibbetts are one and the same; however, it can be verified easily if you wish.

Regards, VandalHunter 15:27, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I posted two messages on the VandalHunter user page, each under my two usernames. Sorry about the delay; I'm gone on a trip at the moment and working off a local library's computer (blasted Macs!). ;) VandalHunter 23:25, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

thank you

Thanks a lot for approving me to use VandalProof. Now I can fight vandalism efficiently! -- Chris ^Ccool2ax _contrib. 15:21, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Kleeneze

I don't 100% agree with the removal of the neighbourhoodwatch link, as that is an association Kleeneze is/was strongly linked with. Also the spamtag used to be left on the article as it attracts spam due to the nature of the firm. I had to remove a few entries myself. Agathoclea 23:39, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

That developement is new to me, and your idea seems fine. The keeping of the spamtag was not my idea but I found it on the discussion page of the article but commenting is better. Agathoclea 07:37, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

RE: VP

Thanks for your swift response to my application. I've been patroling a bit, and now my MS Edit has passed 300. I believe I can help Wikipedia the best watching RC/NP so I want every tool applicable in order to make my work faster and easier. In regards, I've applied to use VP again, since I've passed threshold I believe it's time for me to bug you again. (: If you require further trust, I believe I'll be bugging you again in a month or so, but I want to offer my best to community and VP is a way for me to achieve it. (: Thanks in advance, signed, Kedi the tramp (talk • contribs • count) (Respond to me on my Talk.) 17:01, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

RE:User:Kedi the tramp

No, I'm fine with it. If you look at my talk page, the argument wasn't as elaborate as the one he posted here ;) fetofs ^Hello! 17:44, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

when the levee breaks

User:Misza13's pile!

Thank you for contributing the impressive the pile of supports gathered on my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 0x0104/0x01/0x00. I'm happy that so many people have put faith in my abilities as an admin and promise to use the tools wisely and do my best not to let you down.

Wikipedia Research Survey Request

Hello, I am a member of a research group at Palo Alto Research Center (formerly known as Xerox PARC) studying how conflicts occur and resolve on Wikipedia. Due to your experience in conflict resolution on Wikipedia (e.g., as a member of the Mediation Cabal) we’re extremely interested in your insights on this topic. We have a survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=400792384029 which we are inviting a few selected Wikipedians to participate in, and we would be extremely appreciative if you would take the time to complete it. As a token of our gratitude, we would like to present you with a PARC research star upon completion. Thank you for your time.

Removing my edit of the Aeon Flux page

This was completely unneccessary. That part of the article was badly formatted to the point of being unclear and I would have thought the fact that I removed several hundred hyphens while leaving the text intact would have made that abundantly clear. I do not appreciate the 'vandalism' tag you have given me for this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 143.52.5.181 (talk • contribs) .

Just thought I'd chime in; the super-hyphenated text you, 143.52.5.181, tried to improve upon is a block of probably copyrighted text that another IP-varying vandal has been inserting into the article for weeks. Tarc 21:13, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

MedCabal case

I'm here to notify you that I've closed a cabal case for you, due to inactivity and no new disputes. SynergeticMaggot 16:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thanks so much for voting, Xyrael! Thanks so much for your support vote on my request for adminship! With a final vote count of (82/5/0), it succeeded, and I'm now an administrator! I am thrilled with the overwhelming positive support from the community, and sincerely thank you once again for taking your time to voice your opinion. Feel free to contact me with any comments/suggestions in the future! —Mets501 (talk) 03:54, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Goldom's RFA thanks

Thank you for your support on my RFA, which closed successfully this morning with a result of (53/2/1). I've spent the day trying out the new tools, and trying not to mess things up too badly :). I was quite thrilled with all the support, both from the people I see around every day, as well as many users who I didn't know from before, yet wrote such wonderful things about me. I look forward to helping to serve all of you, and the project. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 04:42, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

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.
