[edit] Thanks,

Seems like someone at my work has been vandalising every now and then. *shrug* ---J.Smith 22:18, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

Is there a place to propose renaming of categories? --Thorpe | talk 20:25, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I suggest you see this [1]. Computerjoe 20:28, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! PS - your signature is kinda annoying since your talk page is the first part of your signature. --Thorpe | talk 20:33, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Shall change my sig. Computerjoe 20:35, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I was just saying it was annoying for me about your signature. You don't have to change it because of my opinion. I'll just try and remember if you decide to keep it as it is. --Thorpe | talk 20:36, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hitler

Dear Joe, you reverted my latest edits on Hitler. Believe me, these were valid edits and hence I restored them. However, if you have any specific concerns, please post them either on my or the article's talk page. Str1977 ^{(smile back)} 20:49, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

In what way more NPOV? I'm only asking as four eyes see more than two. Str1977 ^{(smile back)} 21:12, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

If it sounds anti-Hitler that's either because of the subject matter (there's not much positive to be said about him, albeit of course it should be in NPOV wording) or because of the previous text. I didn't change that much:

• I included the Communists among the banned parties, removed the accusation against the SPD and combined all into one sentence.
• I changed "was growing into an independent power of its own" (which is a bit fuzzy and not actually accurate - the SA were a potential threat but not yet a power of its own) into "As the SA's demands for political and military caused much anxiety among the populace in general and especially among the military" (which includes the actual debates "pofessional military vs. paramiliatary SA" and the worries of the populace).

Cheers, Str1977 ^{(smile back)} 22:03, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Sure, no need to argue. I don't want to either. I was just curious. Cheers, Str1977 ^{(smile back)} 22:07, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your support of my RfA

Thank you for your support of my successful request for adminship. I am honoured that the nomination was supported unanimously and that the community expressed confidence that I would use the tools wisely. If you have any concerns please let me know on my talk page. Regards A Y Arktos 02:03, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Thanks for your support in my RFA. The final vote count was (66/2/3), so I am now an administrator. Please let me know if at any stage you need help, or if you have comments on how I am doing as an admin. Have a nice day! Stifle 17:02, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Foundry model

A tricky task indeed (I don't know a thing about it). You guys have made some huge improvements already and I'm happy to help. I'll have very little free time for the next two days, but after that I'll get on this. Canderson7 ^(talk) 21:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] JackyR

Exactly, she and I have an understanding. Please put back my text. zyx

[edit] woss going on?

Why did you remove contributions from my talk page? It's not just rude and anti-policy, but I was in the middle of a conversation with ZyXoas that contributor. JackyR 21:54, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

No, no, a vandalism warning is inappropriate if you've apologised and anyway it was an error. But I'm puzzled how you came to think it was a good idea in the first place? I've had others fix obvious vandalism before, but to my user page, not Talk. More generally, the particular circumstance is that ZyX edits on a mobile phone from a part of the world with poor connectivity. It's a painful process, but he's exactly the sort of editor WP literally can't get enough of – both talented and highly knowledgeable of facts and views that are systemically under-represented on WP (and in European/US media). Please stop to think that not everybody has the access you do, but this doesn't make others' contributions less important (indeed the very opposite, proportionally speaking). cheers, JackyR 17:42, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thanks for supporting my RFA. I really appreciated the show of support and all the kind words from so many great Wikipedians. I hope I live up to them! -- Vary | Talk 17:27, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Thanks for participating in my RfA. It passed with a final tally of 98/13/10, just two short of making WP:100. If you need my help with anything, don't hesitate to ask.

[edit] US Bill of Rights

Back, and better than ever. You voted on the last one, come see the improvements. Kaisershatner 17:09, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I think you might find the new intro short enough to "Support." Thanks, Kaisershatner 14:37, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for adminship

Sorry to bear bad news on your birthday, but your nomination for adminship was not successful. I hope that you will continue your contributions to Wikipedia and consider standing again in a few months. Remember, most of the oppose votes were from users who want to see more of your work! And have a happy birthday! Warofdreams talk 02:29, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Bad luck. You'll make a good admin yet, just give it some time. Let me know if you have another RfA in the future - I'll be supporting you no end. haz _(user talk)^e 21:47, 17 March 2006

Sorry you didn't make it this time! I'll gladly support you again in any future RfAs. Oh, and happy birthday! - Wezzo (talk) (ubx) 22:00, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I am sorry to hear that your RFA nomination has failed. But do not lose hope. My advise to you is to apply again after 2 months and you WILL succeed! You will always have my support. Treat this as a learning experience and continue to give excellent contributions to Wikipedia. Best of luck for the future and I wish you "A Very Happy Birthday!" --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 14:06, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please Cease and Desist in Spamming My Talk Page with Unsolicited Opinions and Advices

Or I am going to report you. I never asked for your assistance. Get off my back. No To Frauds 12:45, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Foundry model

The article is coming along. Do you think it is too technical with references to manufacture process? Words like wafer, photomask, etc. I don't know whether to just wikilink them or rewrite to remove them. (I'm about to go look for an article on IC manufacture that I can add to see also, thta may help). Also, the Ongoing issues section at the bottom probably needs some work, but again I'm not sure what to do about it. RJFJR 23:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

We are, at least, getting closer. I'll take another look and see if I can remove some of the more techincal material (we can refer to it in the 'see also' section, or something). RJFJR 19:04, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Please comment on my rfc Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jersey Devil--Jersey Devil 06:08, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UPA

Thank you for your willingess to participate, however at this time we are going to let others be judges. pschemp | talk 19:32, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if that was a bit short, when KnowledgeOfSelf asked me to remove you, I didn't realize that it wasn't spelled out on the page that the same people should not judge two times in a row. This has been corrected. You are, of course, free to sign up next time, or sign as an alternate this time. Thank you, pschemp | talk 13:05, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comments on Spyaxe?

Maybe I'm missing something, but why did you add NPOV and cleanup tags to the SpyAxe article without actually putting anything in the SpyAxe talk page? Is there something I don't get?

—This unsigned comment was added by 71.243.115.116 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 21 March 2006.

No, you didn't miss anything. I was purely lazy. I've added my reasoning. Computerjoe's talk 21:02, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Azuth

Is Azuth ready to have its taskforce entry closed? RJFJR 05:14, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help Me

Give me something nice and simple to do on the Wikipedia. Computerjoe's talk 21:58, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Go through some pages in Category:Novels and make sure that the names of novels are in italics. For example Dream_Park should start as:

• '''''Dream Park''''' was originally a novel...

rather than...

• '''Dream Park''' was originally a novel...

Wikipedia:Maintenance has other things that you can do.--Commander Keane 22:04, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Hi Computerjoe, and thank you for taking time to vote on my RfA. I understand that my last 6000+ edits were not sufficient to convince everyone that edits like some of my early ones would never be repeated again. Of course, I'll continue working the way I've been since November, and hopefully would develop trust of more wikipedians in future Regards, and I appreciate very much your kind support. deeptrivia (talk) 03:32, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1

Reach out Reach out is a program aimed at allowing users to bring issues that they have had in Wikipedia to a listening, sympathetic and caring audience: "No one can know how we feel if we do not say. We cannot expect to get understanding if we do not ask for it. No one will dispute that sometimes life's issues are too much for one person. It is fair to say that sometimes Wikipedia's problems fall under the same heading. This is a place where you can bring the bruises that can sometimes be got on this project for attention." Stress Alerts The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them. Note from the editor Welcome to this new format of the Esperanza Newsletter, which came about during the last Advisory Council meeting - we hope you like it! The major changes are that each month, right after the Council meeting, this will be sent out and will include two featured programs and a sum up of the meeting. Also, it will be signed by all of the Advisory Council members, not just Celestianpower. Have an Esperanzial end of March, everyone!

The last AC meeting (full log) Future meetings are to be held monthly, not fortnightly as before. Bans and Access level changes (apart from autovoice) in the IRC channel are to be reported at the new log. In the IRC channel, there is going to be only one bot at a time. The charter requires members to have 150 edits and 2 weeks editing. Why this is the case will be clarified. A new Code of Conduct will be drafted by JoanneB and proposed to the Esperanza community. The NPA reform idea is to be dropped officially. Charter ammendments are to be discussed in future, not voted on. The Advisory Council is not going to be proposed to be expanded by the Advisory Council themselves, if others want to propose it, they will listen. Signed...

[edit] My RfA

	My RfA
	Thank you for supporting/opposing/commenting on my request of adminship, sadly the result was 54/20/7 an thus only 73% support votes, resulting in that the nomination failed. As many of you commenting that I have to few main-space edits, I'll try to better my self on that part. If you have any ideas on what kind of articles I could edit, pleas send me a line. :)	→AzaToth 09:32, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
