[edit] Your welcome.

Np for the welcome. Any questions you have ask them at my talk page user_talk:Actown. --Actown e 17:09, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome back

Hi Mike, welcome back! Let me know if there's anything I can do for you, especially if you still have some questions about combatting vandalism. Thanks, and best of luck in your return. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 17:25, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Echo welcome back! Glad to see you! I'm sorry that our prior interactions caused you stress. --Durin 21:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sole proprietorship

the article already exists :) I'm not sure the title you used needs its own article, so I deleted it rather than leaving a redirect. +sj + 23:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Thank you

Thank you for fixing Himmlers note ,because I would have done it,but my english isn`t very goodDzoni 17:39, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging and references

When you do merges, make sure that you keep any references in tact. If an article uses the Cite.php system (like Sexuality of Adolf Hitler), you have to include the <references/> tag in the article, or the footnotes won't work properly. If you have any questions, I'd be glad to help. —Seqsea (talk) 01:54, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About WP:CIV

I noticed that you have some concerns regarding my behavior on Wikipedia. I encourage you to take them to my talk page and not post them on the AfD nomination. By the way, if you really want to develop an justified opinion on this subject, you should check out all of the conversations between User:Crzrussian and myself.

I know that sounded a bit harsh, but I am not particulary fond of how people are unfairly jumping into conclusions regarding situations that they have little to nothing to do with.

Thanks for understanding. -- ßίζ·קּ‼ (talk | contribs) 06:48, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lists of farms in Oppland

The vote for deletion of Lists of farms in Oppland ended in nonconcensus. As a result, I propose moving forward after considering the varous comments in the discussion. As you were one who voted for deletion, I'd be interested in understanding what you think appropraite criteria to merit inclusion in a list might be. Thanks - Williamborg 20:56, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Dear OSU80 — Thank you for your support on my recent RfA. It succeeded with a final tally of 72/2/0 and I am now an administrator. I'll be taking things slowly at first and getting used to the new tools, but please let me know if there's any adminnery I can help you with in the future. —Whouk (talk) 02:15, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hi OSU80, thanks for supporting my request for adminship! Unfortunately, it ended with a final tally of 45/15/2, no consensus. I may have another go in the near future, once the school year is over. Thanks again! -- getcrunkjuicecontribs 22:57, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:DanJurgens.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:DanJurgens.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Hello

Hello Mike. I didn't know you were back. I thought we'd already lost you? How are you?Blnguyen | rant-line 06:54, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bill Davis Stadium

Nice work on updating my article I started on Bill Davis Stadium. Thanks! Go Bucks! OSU80 05:41, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Glad to help! I was working on an OSU baseball sub-article. I'm trying to make articles of some other OSU related buildings. Rkevins82 22:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion review

It's July 18 now (we use UTC and it's now about 0155, July 18). I'll delete your July 17 application because (as I said in my edit summary) it's been moved to July 18. --Tony Sidaway 01:56, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Bluecanoe2

I've listed him at WP:RFCU. We'll see what happens there. Ryūlóng 00:18, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, supposedly the first attempted to get "our" (referring to the company) account deleted. Ryūlóng 00:36, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Check User

And then there are the additional users I've listed. Is there anyway to go onto IRC and get someone to checkuser? Ryūlóng 00:06, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. And I may be finally able to use the crappy Blue Canoe Records logo if this set ever gets a WP:LTA entry XD. Ryūlóng 00:14, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mike. Not sure why my new request skipped past your request. Perhaps the case is more complex and they are still analysing the dat? Mine only involved Anwar and two IPs. Thanks, Blnguyen | rant-line 01:49, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Danke for showing me. Ryūlóng 01:56, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Well, it might be harder to prove Doctorteddynewman, as he appears to have a (semi)-unrelated IP (although still based in Atlanta, where Mr. Moore and Ms. Frieske call home). Ryūlóng 02:03, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

I have blocked you for twenty-four hours for creating the impersonation account Bluecanoe2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) for purposes of disruption and harrassment. This kind of behavior is unacceptable, particularly from established contributors. Mackensen (talk) 16:33, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

You cheeky monkey. - brenneman {L} 06:03, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kat Shoob

Just offering my apologies for my choice of words on the Kat Shoob deletion nomination. I didn't intend to offend I was just a bit annoyed as I put a lot of work into the article which was about a notable person. Clearly now you made a simple mistake and I'm sure you have learned from it. Again I am sorry and I hope there are no hard feelings. SenorKristobbal 19:54, 3 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.

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] September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade
Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors!
What's New?
September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves!
Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there!
The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  1. The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  2. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage.
  3. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself!
  4. The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it!
  5. TangoTango has written a script for a bot that will list new members of Esperanza, which will help those who welcome new Esperanzains greatly!

[edit] Image:Zoo 070606 014.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Zoo 070606 014.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Burj_dubai.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Burj_dubai.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 14:26, 3 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Wotwnovel.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Wotwnovel.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 10:24, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:User Buckeye

A tag has been placed on Template:User Buckeye requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 22:24, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
