[edit] Esperanto translation/Keppel Enderby

Thanks for the information on Esperanto & Keppel I once knew how to say "Could you call the hall porter, there seems to be a frog in my bidet" in Esperanto but alas the lack of opportunity to make such a comment has meant that I have forgotten it. I'll go off and merge the Keppel pages. Cheers --Roisterer 04:22, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] G'day from Waratah

Nice to see another resident contributing! --One Salient Oversight 09:48, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More on OSO at Waratah

I live on Bridge Street. I used to be a teacher at St. Philips believe it or not, but I left because of obvious reasons. Email me at one_salient_oversight@yahoo.com and I'll give you more info. --One Salient Oversight 01:29, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, it's one_salient_oversight@yahoo.com.au - I forgot to put the .au --One Salient Oversight 09:10, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Re: the article on St. Philips. It looks interesting but have you checked Wikipedia:Schools? Moreover, with the allegations of staff/student abuse, it would most definitely need external links for verification. Without these, even if you come into contact with people who claim such abuse, you pretty much can't stop someone removing the relevant information. Chances are that the page will be afd or eventually changed by someone who realises that the claims of abuse may not be verifiable. --One Salient Oversight 08:57, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I might pop down the road tonight or tomorrow and take a picture of some of the school buildings and signage - that will give the article a GFDL image necessary for the article to survive afd. --One Salient Oversight 09:00, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Game

Nooo! Curses! Now I have lost the game as well! --AceMyth 13:10, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Someone should start a website where you can fill in your name and press an "I lost the game" button. Then you can browse a list to see who has recently lost. =p --AceMyth 13:16, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Gagh! Before yesterday evening I'd gone 2 days without losing :( - JVG 13:50, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Damn you, Sumthingweird! I lost! Reveilled 14:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Nooooo! I nearly went two weeks without losing, and it's all ruined because of you. ;) RaelImperialAerosolKid 18:45, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

XO Now I lost! Oh well, all my friends get to lose now, too!Polyhymnia

You love to make people lose, don't you? Three weeks, I swear!--All ruined! Hyenaste

Damnit, won't people stop making me lose?! That's, like, the seventh time this week. Thetoastman 01:47, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

D'oh... at least, you have lost too! (5 days) Andycyca|say... 02:41, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Darn you...! Yauhin 20:20, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

NO! I was doing so well! I'll get you for this! Cereal Killer 20:52, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanto

I see that you are fluent in Esperanto; where did you learn it/who taught you, and how long did it take? I've always been interested in learning the language, but I've never found the opportunity to do so, and was hoping for some advice from a... kompetentulo? Hyenaste 20:58, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] sumofpi template

Please don't change the template. I created it and want it to stay the same as it was. Thank you. Kris18 22:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Later edit- Also i see you used some edits while testing with the template. I just want to remind you there is a "preview" button. Kris18 23:08, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about changing the template, it's just that pi was not linked and once I linked it the link was invisible. I'll leave it to you, anyway.Sumthingweird 12:28, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Ok I will make "pi" a link. Thanks fot trying to do that anyway. Kris18 20:05, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your userpage was briefly delisted by a rogue admin

This user believes that only articles need reflect a NPOV, and that displaying political, religious, or other beliefs using userboxes and user categories should not be banned.

You have a userbox Template:User UN which links your userpage to United Nations Wikipedians. There is currently a movement to ban userboxes from Wikipedia which are shared and which create List of Wikipedians. Certain admins have taken it upon themselves to preemptively sabotage and/or delete such categories and template. Here is the incident report which reported damage to yours, in which hundreds of userpages were delinked from categories without the users' knowledge. They have been stopped, barely, and the damage reverted— for now.

There is a Wikipedia:Userbox policy poll, which if passed, will make required by policy the damage done to categories and templates such as User UN/United Nations Wikipedians. If you do not want this to happen, I urge you to vote Oppose. in the poll. Support is currently running at about 66%, and your vote could make the difference. It is said to require 75%-80% to be deemed reflective of consensus.

Thank you,

[edit] Newcastle AWB fixup

Oops, sory about that. I'd thought I'd checked all of the changes (I dabed 100+ pages linking to Newcastle that day) but obviously not. Thanks for letting me know. The JPS 05:53, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] St. Philip's Christian College

Ahh, I didn't check the history carefully enough. The article looks very nice. --humblefool® 20:40, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Organic

Salut Je viens de créer un "userbox" pour les gens qui mangent bio, j'espère qu'elle te plaira! (je crois que tu as exprimé le désir qu'il y en aie une dans une des pages de discussion de "wiki how to:userboxes"). Tu la trouveras dans la catégorie Food (sauf si quelqu'un la vire d'ici là) ou sinon sur ma page informative d'utilisateur. Ciao! Fab Beforedecay 02:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
