[edit] ZoomText

Hi James, I just wanted you to know that I reopened ZoomText's AfD, not because I necessarily thought you came to the wrong conclusion, but I'd rather let a full admin close this one. We non-admins are supposed to close only those that are unambiguous, and whatever the merits of 1&only's claims about the software, his vote isn't being struck or discounted. No hard feelings, eh? -- nae'blis 20:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!!

Hi James, thank you so much for the Barnstar! Your fine gesture of appreciation has definitely encouraged me to wield the mop & flamethrower with more vigour. Thanks again. Srikeit (Talk | Email) 19:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Nothing has been removed from the page, I've just reorganized it so that all of the campaign material is grouped together with each campaign given its own heading.213.113.123.91 13:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Hello!

Thank you for participating in my RfA! Unfortunately, it ended with a final result of (32/31/5) which no consensus was achieved. Nevertheless, I'd like to thank you again for your support and to keep an eye out for me within the next 3 months. Also, please so kind ans to drop by my suggestions page for my next RfA :) SynergeticMaggot 21:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Parkinson's Disease

Hi Bornhj, I'm writing to inform you that you've just reverted a General Tojo (talk • contribs) edit to Parkinson's Disease most likely through an open proxy. General Tojo edits can be recognised by the link to viartis.net. Please see Long term abuse/General Tojo for more details. --  Netsnipe  (Talk)  13:03, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your vote at Talk:List of numbered highways in Ohio

Hi,

Would you mind if i reword your vote at the Ohio vote to avoid miscounting?

From:

  • Support "List of Ohio state highways" (note capitalisation) "List of numbered highways in Ohio" sounds really cumbersome to me, whereas this does not. --james(talk) 06:06, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

To:

  • Oppose current proposal but Support "List of Ohio state highways" (note capitalisation) - "List of numbered highways in Ohio" sounds really cumbersome to me, whereas this does not. --james(talk) 06:06, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

As an aside, We're getting ready to revise the proposal to List of highways in Ohio, does this sound alright to you? atanamir 19:05, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: My RfA

Sure thing, mate! Happy editing! hoopydinkConas tá tú? 11:24, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Aw, nuts. Just get some more talk page edits (like this one right here!! :-D) and I'll bet you'll pass it by the end of the year, probably before. Be sure and tell me when you're in the Chinese water torture chamber up for a vote again! ;-) Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 11:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
There is always next time. Look at the oppose comments and accept ideas for improvement that are valid. Address editcuntitis as best you can. I, for one, will never have 1*F*A*. There is a real and growing need at Wikipedia:Images_for_deletion. Remain civil at all times (like I need to tell you). Best wishes and good luck. :) Dlohcierekim 13:22, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
PS I should have also mentioned Category:Fair_use_images. :) Dlohcierekim 14:01, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
  • No problem. I hope you'll run again soon. Cheers.  QuizQuick  18:28, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Yup, I'm back! Hope to see you run again in future. :) - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 20:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Just wanted you to know that I was looking at your RfA the other day before I saw you had withdrawn it. You probably made the right choice for now, but I look forward to supporting you a few months from now. Regards, Newyorkbrad 23:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
  • No problem. Give it a couple of months and (provided nothing devestating happens) I will support your nomination. Happy editing! Wikipediarules2221 01:34, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Hi, don't be discouraged. Just keep going. You answered my question well. Get more experience reverting and reporting vandalism to make plainer than you know what you are doing. I suspect your judgemnt is already good. :) Dlohcierekim 01:44, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Add my voice to the "...just a few months more" chorus. We like what you do, we just want to be sure you're going to be still doing it. Ifnord 04:04, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Thanks so much for voting, Bornhj!
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!

Sorry about your RfA. I have stolen your userpage header template. Thought I should tell you. Thanks--Musaabdulrashid 10:52, 13 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.
  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.
Signed...

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] Deville's RfA

Hello, James, and thank you for the support on my recent RfA. The final tally was 72/1/0, and I have now been entrusted with the mop. I'll be tentative with the new buttons for a while, and certainly welcome any and all feedback on how I might be able to use them to help the project. I'll try and stay an all-rounder, if I can, and not become a "specialist"...:) All the best, and thanks again! — Deville (Talk) 00:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Bornhj! You've signed up to be a judge for the Esperanza User Page Award! You'll have three user pages to examine. The user pages you get coincide with your signup number. So if you signed up to be a judge in spot 1 than you will get nominations 1-3. Pick your favorite one, and list it in the finalist section.

  • Attractiveness: general layout, considering colour scheme and/or use of tables if applicable
  • Usefulness: links to subpages or editing aids, helpful information
  • Interesting-ness: quirky, unique, captivating, or funny content
  • Subpages: quality of subpages, talk pages.
  • General niceness: at the judges' discretion

Please see the Scores section on this page for additional information on your job as a judge.

Keep in mind that your scores are confidential! Email Petros471 with your scores and final picks. As soon as all the scores have been tallied, a winner will be announced! Thanks.

[edit] RfA thanks

Thank you very much for participating in my RFA, which closed successfully today with a result of (62/18/3). I will go very carefully at first, trying to make sure I don't mess up too badly using the tools, and will begin by re-reading all the high-quality feedback I received during the process, not least from those who opposed me. Any further advice/guidance will be gratefully accepted. I hope I will live up to your trust! Guinnog 15:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)}

WikiThanks

I'd like to thank you Bornhj for either supporting, opposing, commenting, nominating, reading, editing, promoting and/or anything else that you may have done for my successful request for adminship (I've broken the one thousand sysop barrier!); I'm thanking you for getting involved, and for this I am very grateful. I hope to be able to serve Wikipedia more effectively with my new tools and that we can continue to build our free encyclopedia, for knowledge is power, but only wisdom is liberty. Please do feel free to get in touch if you feel you can improve me in any way; I will be glad to listen to all comments. Again, thanks 8)             —Xyrael / 11:51, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Long-Overdue RfA Thanks from Alphachimp

 Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which was successful with a an overwhelmingly flattering and deeply humbling total of 138/2/2 (putting me #10 on the RfA WP:100). I guess infinite monkey theorem has been officially proven. Chimps really can get somewhere on Wikipedia.

With new buttons come great responsibility, and I'll try my best to live up to your expectations. If you need assistance with something, don't hesitate to swing by my talk page or email me (trust me, I do respond :)). The same goes for any complaints or comments in regard to my administrative actions. Remember, I'm here for you.

(Thanks go to Blnguyen for the incredible photo to the right.) alphaChimp laudare 05:25, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dio vi Salvi Regina

I noticed that you removed the full text of the Corsican national anthem because it was at Wiki source. When you remove appropriate text like that it is considered resonable to put the referential Template:wikisourcepar with the direct address into the article. In this case, however, there is a more specific guideline than the general rule of Wikipedia:Don't include copies of primary sources. In fact within that very guideline is the statement: Some short texts such as short poems and national anthems are usually included in their article. I have restored the first and last stanzas, and included the template. See Talk:Dio vi Salvi Regina signed: Bejnar 01:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
