Thank you for the welcome

It was good of you to offer the welcome. If it is not too much trouble, I could use some help. I have created a couple of pages. These pages are now gone. They now redirect to other pages that don't have my content. I understand that my contributions may get edited, or even removed; but what are the rules for this? Since the pages are gone, there is no history or discussion to read. Someone made a comment on my talk page that they thought one of my pages should be merged. I agreed with caveats, but never heard anything again. Was there a vote? Can I just recreate the pages? It seems a lot of energy is exerted by people to limit the scope of Wikipedia. Several times I have read interesting pages only to find there is a discussion about deleting the page entirely. Is this the official position of the Wikipedia, or only the result of one faction within it? Am I welcome?

Re:Erwin Walsh

I have blocked the user for 24 hours rudeness/personal attacks. Upon his/her return, should he/she do anything like that again, make we aware and I will take a gander. Regards and happy editing! Sasquatch讲看 02:17, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your strong support and reassuring comments in my recent RFB nomination. I'm now WP newest bureaucrat. :) Regards, User:Nichalp/sg 18:38, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

deleted edits

well, a user's deleted edits are still recorded (they must be to allow the undeletion of pages later), but at the moment it's too slow to extract the information because of how it's stored.. i'll keep the idea in mind though. -kate

Thank ya, thank ya very much ...

Ryan,

Thank you for the brief message when I logged on to Wikipedia. I've just put up a User profile. New User: Barry Wells of London, Ontario, Canada. Quite a remarkable project this Wikipedia. Barry Wells 21:46, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

re: Signature

Hi, thanks for the guidance. I was aware that templates caused a server drain, but I didn't realise that all the talk pages would have to be re-cached if I changed it. I made a template out of my sig so that I could change it not to include the link to my RfA once it was no longer applicable (so that older talk messages would be updated as well), but I didn't know that just changing it would drain the servers so much. I've gone back to not using the template now. - ulayiti (talk) (my RfA) 08:21, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

ulayiti's RfA

Hi Acetic, and thanks for your support and the kind words you left at my RfA. I'm an administrator now, and I hope that I'll live up to the community's expectations as one. Your vote of confidence is much appreciated. - ulayiti (talk) 15:48, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Splash's RfA

Hi there. Thanks for your strong support on my RfA and for apparently earning me another vote (#20)! I was amazed to see so much support. Please do keep an eye on me and my logs, especially while I'm learning the new buttons, and let me know if I can help you out. Next time you're on RfA, I imagine you can expect me to support you, by the way. Thanks again. -Splash 14:22, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Leonard G.'s RfA

Thanks for asking the question of The Fascist Chicken - I was about to ask the same question of him/her on their talk page (I thought it inappropriate to ask it on my own RfA page). I wonder, why do the negative comments come from users with monikers like "The Fascist Chicken" and "Angr" (Anger?). This admin stuff is looking like it is more trouble than it is worth - not to do, but to get - all I really need is some tools to assist in my anti-vandal efforts. Thanks for your assistance, and best wishes, Leonard G. 03:55, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

_{Vandalism by 204.209.247.2}

_{Hey, mate. You're the first admin who popped into my head, so here I am. I could use your services with User:204.209.247.2 (Special:Contributions/204.209.247.2, User talk:204.209.247.2) due to its excessive vandalism. I can't block him myself if needed (I just gave him his last warning), so I'm just asking that you keep an eye on him. Thanks for the help. --Blackcap | talk 18:02, 13 September 2005 (UTC)}

Esperanza made less bureaucratical

Hello again, I have (unilatterly) taken away the 'assembly' idea, as per my reasons at that edit summary and per Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Charter. I have left the admin general, as some leadership is good. Now, all you have to do is be a member to establish consensus, the whole assembly idea is gone. Also, I have added an advisory committee, of four members, with limited power besides watching over the admin general and making sure he doesn't do anything stupid. Please look at the ammended charter, and I would love a comment. R e dwolf24 (talk) 23:48, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

CCW Agenda

I saw the redlink to the CCW Agenda; what was the intention for the agenda, and why is it still redlinked? -- Essjay · Talk 00:01, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

WP:MIND 06:19, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Hello, Acetic Acid/Archive 9! This message is to inform you that round three of Wikipedia Mind Benders will open on Wednesday, September 21, at approximately 22:00 UTC. While the opening time may vary by two or three hours, the round will open no earlier than 22:00 UTC. In addition, there are several rule changes, which will be detailed when the round opens. Everyone who answers a question correctly will receive points, but speed does give some extra points! Round three offers 11 new exciting and mind-bogglind questions, written by Deryck C.. These promise to be lots of fun! We sincerely hope you join us.

Also, congratulations to ROYGBIV for winning round two; it was an extremely close game, with the runner-up, Spondoolicks, only two points behind. Let's keep round three competitive! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 22:31, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

The last time I'm spamming you all with Esperanza stuff

Hello Acetic Acid. As you may or may not know, there have been some troubles with Esperanza. So now, as a last ditch to save the community, please vote at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Reform on all neccisary polls. P.S. I'm very sorry for spamming you all with these messages, and this will be the last time. I recommend putting ESP on your watchlist. Cheers and please look at that, let's stop the civil war then.
