Hey, I found that you help editing a lot of gay-related topics. I am wondering if you can add something to the History of Homosexuality? --FallingInLoveWithPitoc 11:33, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I tried to add you using ID Voyager640 at Yahoo, but was told that the user does not exist?! Maybe you can add me, my ID at Yahoo is gboycn2003. --FallingInLoveWithPitoc 15:34, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Sorry that I seldom log in that account, because the internet connection here sucks. and there is no one in my list (i just applied for that account because u asked me to add you). anyway, i try to log in that as often as possible, but i guess the time zone should be considered :D. u can email me if you like. BTW, can you check out the article Homosexuality in China? Pick up the errors there and improve that, thanks! --FallingInLoveWithPitoc 09:03, 18 Nov 2003 (UTC)

It didn't look so bad at AIDS. Perhaps the history is worse than the present article? - Nunh-huh 07:23, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] David Cope

I just read Techniques of the Contemporary Composer. It was pretty good, great, given such a scope. He is now a source on Tonality, Experimental music, and a few other pages. Hyacinth 07:57, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] What was the article?

[1]

Looks like it was fully deleted; do you remember or have a saved copy of that article? Sounds hilarious just from the title alone. Hbdragon88 05:18, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

  • It was just a stub that I created because someone used it in a slippery slope argument and so I created the page as a joke. Voyager640

[edit] Your comment at Wikipedia:Pages for deletion/10 percenter

Care to explain this comment, please? I'm not sure what you're talking about, but it strikes me as inappropriate. Fernando Rizo T/C 18:16, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Critical Theory

I'm a little bit confused as to why you are editing the content of discussions... Voyager640 15:42, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi Voyager, Yes I see what you mean. I meant no harm. I changed cultural theory to culture theory because of the redirect

--Jahsonic 16:17, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Defenestrate

Good word! Thanks for the suggestion. It would, however, have deflowered the simplicity of the comment. Eddie.willers 01:07, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Queer theory addition

Hi, just a note to let you know that I moved your recent addition to queer theory to its talk page. The reasons why are on the talk page. I didn't want to come off as sounding harsh or as if I didn't think the addition was worthwhile - I do, I just think it needs more work. -Seth Mahoney 01:59, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Arians

I've noooo idea how I'm meant to reply to comments here - you just left me one asking what an Arian Unitarian was and I made a proper account in the hope of responding. Anyways, there's a page on the Arians - Arius was basically the early Christian voice of literal unitarianism (ie belief in one God rather than the Holy Trinity, usually implying that Christ wasn't divine, or at least not as divine as God) and Newton was very fond of his ideas. Seeing his name on the Notable Unitarian Universalists list made me a little sceptical of said list - I think it's a flaw that it makes no distinction between famous members of the UU church and famous people who happened to be non-Trinitarian Christians. (Newton was a fanatical Biblical literalist, so the UU of today would horrify him.) I'd try reorganising said list with that in mind if it weren't for the fact that I've only heard of about 5% of the people on it. ><

[edit] Foucault

I'm not really up for that (off wikipedia Foucault discussion). That said, I good place to pose questions is the foucault.info email discussion list, which I do participate in. XmarkX 07:12, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Anti-war project, push to get a featured article b4 Xmass

February 15, 2003 anti-war protest, an article which is part of the WikiProject Anti-war of which you are listed as a member, has been recently rated A-class by the Version 1.0 Editorial team (see here) This means that it is considered to be of good quality. The Anti-war project has yet to achieve a featured article but with a little pushing I feel we could get this article up to FA standards. To this end I have put the article up for peer review, if you could help make this a brilliant article that would be much appreciated. Please give your comments at Wikipedia:Peer review/February 15, 2003 anti-war protest/archive2 or on the article's talk page. Fingers crossed for a FA before Xmass.--JK the unwise 13:06, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] gay rights

Good edit on gay rights, but you need to source it or else it probably will get deleted for being stating the unsourced POV that says the media might maybe possibly be selling out to gay rights activists. "Sez who?" is the relevant question here. See talk:Gay rights.

  • Well, it's not without a source, I just can't remember where I've heard that argument before. I don't think unsourced POVs are supposed to be deleted, just sourced... Voyager640 18:48, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New user on Wikibreak

Yes a new user can be on wikibreak but considering that he only made one contribution to wikipedia and it was back in July I think its safe to asume that he wont be coming back. — Moe ε 15:43, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, you mean friend as in "wikipedia friend" or "meet them in real life friend"? If the latter, why hasn't he been on Wikipedia? Do you know why he quit? Usually we add people to the Esperanza stress list if they have quit or went on wikibreak because of high stress. If he is absent because of real-life stress, I guess he can be on the stress list. If he's just taking a break, theres no need to add him to the stress list. — Moe ε 01:35, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] News from Esperanza

Hello, fellow Esperanzians! This is just a friendly reminder that elections for Administrator General and two advisory council positions have just begun. Voting will last until Friday, December 30, so make sure you exercise your right to vote! Also, I'm pleased to announce the creation of the Esperanza mailing list. I urge all members to join; see Wikipedia:Esperanza/Contact for more information. All you need to do is email me and I will activate your account. This will be a great way to relax, stay in touch, and hear important announcements. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?)

[edit] World Citizen userbox, {{User:1ne/Userboxes/User world}}

Hi, I noticed the message saying you're a World Citizen, I would like to invite you to add {{User:1ne/Userboxes/User world}} to your user page if you wish to proclaim it in a more effective way, and this template will also add you automatically to the Wikipedians with World Citizenship category. :) --Mistress Selina Kyle 23:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

Tasty Tunnock's tea cakes (a delicacy in the British northeast, I'm told) to say thank you very much for standing in the Esperanza elections, being a great candidate and helping to make Wikipedia better for everyone just by existing! ➨ ❝REDVERS❞

[edit] Wikibreak

I noticed that you haven't been editing much lately. I hope you're just taking a short wikibreak. If you have any problems or concerns that you want to talk about, feel free to reply on my talk page. --TantalumTelluride 21:41, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for your input

I saw that you support the wikipedia policy against information suppression. Currently there is a VfD and RfC on an article of a scientific researcher that has made large and verifiable contributions to science and society, at Edward Smith (psychologist). I have verified the findings myself via observation and experimentation, so the findings are clearly real. However, Edward Smith has not been published in any major scientific journal, it is uncertain if he has gone through the official educational system, and even his identity is uncertain. Some people believe that any such subtle-but-important people that lack those social prerequisites can not make major contributions to society, and especially scientific advancement, and that any of their contributions are non-verifiable, period, despite methods of verification being outlined by the discoverer. I am curious what your stance on this matter is. IrreversibleKnowledge 19:18, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject anti-war, Article improvement drive

February 15, 2003 anti-war protest an article from the WikiProject Anti-war, which you are listed as a member of, has been nominated for the Article Improvement Drive (by me ).

It is an article about a day of much importance both to the history of the anti-war movement and to general discussion of the Iraq war. With a little work from experienced editors it could gain FA status. If you would like to see it improved please vote for it at Make "February 15, 2003 anti-war protest" the subject of an Article Improvement Drive--JK the unwise 13:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] An Esperanzial note

As I remember, the last spam that was handed out was on the 20th of December last year, so I think it's time for another update. First and foremost, the new Advisory Council and Administrator General have been elected. They consist of myself as Admin General and FireFox, Titoxd, Flcelloguy and Karmafist as the Advisory Council. We as a group met formally for the first time on the 31st of Decembe. The minutes of this meeting can be found at WP:ESP/ACM. The next one is planned for tonight (Sunday 29 January) at 20:30 UTC and the agenda can be found at WP:ESP/ACM2.

In other news, Karmafist has set up a discussion about a new personal attack policy, which it can be found here. Other new pages include an introductory page on what to do when you sign up, So you've joined Esperanza... and a welcome template: {{EA-welcome}} (courtesy of Bratsche). Some of our old hands may like to make sure they do everything on the list as well ;) Additionally, the userpage award program proposal has become official is operational: see Wikipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award to nominate a userpage or volunteer as a judge. Also see the proposed programs page for many new proposals and old ones that need more discussion ;)

Other than that, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you an Esperanzially good new WikiYear :D Thank you! --Celestianpower háblame 16:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another Esperanzial note...

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1

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."
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!
  1. Future meetings are to be held monthly, not fortnightly as before.
  2. Bans and Access level changes (apart from autovoice) in the IRC channel are to be reported at the new log.
  3. In the IRC channel, there is going to be only one bot at a time.
  4. The charter requires members to have 150 edits and 2 weeks editing. Why this is the case will be clarified.
  5. A new Code of Conduct will be drafted by JoanneB and proposed to the Esperanza community.
  6. The NPA reform idea is to be dropped officially.
  7. Charter ammendments are to be discussed in future, not voted on.
  8. 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] Esperanza Newsletter #2

The Barnstar Brigade is a new program aimed at giving more very deserving yet unappreciated users barnstars. It will officially start on 2006-04-09, but signing up is encouraged before this date:
"Here in Wikipedia, there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go un-appreciated. 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 un-noticed. Sadly, these editors often leave the project. As Esperanzians, we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. A project the size of Wikipedia has thousands of editors, so there are plenty of people out there who deserve recognition, one just has to find them. The object of this program is not to flood editors with Barnstars, but to seek out people who deserve them, and make them feel appreciated."
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.
Information
Welcome to the second issue of the new format Esperanza Newsletter - we hope you still like it! This week, it was delivered diligently by our new dogsbody. MiszaBot (run by Misza13): any execution complaints should go to him. Content comments should be directed at the Esperanza talkpage. Thanks!
  1. The next elections: Approval voting as before and, also as before, an previous leadership member can run. Please submit your name for voting in the relevant section of this page. Voting starts on 2006-04-23 and ends on 2006-04-30. There will be three places up for grabs as KnowledgeOfSelf is leaving Wikipedia. Please see the previously linked page for full details.
  2. The Code of Conduct is now ready for extensive discussion! Specific comments should go to the Code of Conduct talk page, discussion of having one at all should be directed to the main Esperanza talk page.
  3. The current process for accepting proposals for new programs has been deemed fine. All Advisory Council members and the Admin Gen are to endevour to be bold when viewing discussion. If they feel that consensus has been reached, they will act accordingly.
A plea from the editor...
The propsed programs page is terribly underused! Please leave any comments, good or bad, on the page, to help us determine the membership's thoughts on the ideas there.
Signed...

[edit] Old Skool Esperanzial note

Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Celestianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service.
This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
Stressbusters
The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome!
Note from the editor
As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!
  1. Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel.
  2. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect.
  3. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct.
  4. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop.
  5. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon.

[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.

[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.

[edit] November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!)
Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach.

Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
What's New?
The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one!
A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
The last AC meeting (full log)
  • The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  • There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia.
  • The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested!
  • In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias.
  • A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted!
  • Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello.

[edit] Your Recent WP:AFD Votes

Dear Voyager640: Just a quick and friendly reminder that WP:ITSUSEFUL and WP:ILIKEIT are both examples of unacceptable vote justifications in AFD discussions. I've noticed that your self-published reasons for the majority of your recent votes tend to revolve around these two.

Keep in mind, I'm not trying to put you down or diminish your right to make your opinion known, I'm just informing you that these sort of responses are generally held in very low esteem (obviously enough so that they created specific articles on them). It would probably be good if you used more factual and policy-driven justifications for your votes, i.e- "Delete- non-notable per WP:BLAH" or "Keep- Google search shows 568 hits, passes WP:NOTE". Thanks, and happy editing. Bullzeye (Ring for Service) 23:08, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism of Queer Theory

I stopped by 65.115.176.50's user talk page and put a note about their apparent failure to understand the NPOV Policy. Voyager640 16:01, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Excellent! I should have done that myself - I'm not sure why I didn't, actually...I remember thinking I would do that..but...<sigh>...life has its little distractions, I guess...thanks for educating the editor..! Dreadstar † 07:58, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pup-play

Hey Voyager, for the wikilink to work, you need the hyphen and a lowercase "p" on "play". You might want to create redirects from the other versions: Pup play, Pup-Play, Pup Play. Aleta Sing 20:59, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pup-play AFD close and merge

I've closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pup-play with a decision to merge the article into Human animal roleplay (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) per the suggestions that you and Aleta (talk · contribs) added there. Would the two of you be willing to take care of actually merging it and doing the redirect? You had the best arguments for what should be merged and you had a plan for the article, so I think you'd do a better job of merging and updating the content. The AFD also had a consensus that we should only use reliably sourced information in it, so I'd recommend removing any material that's unsourced or that seems to be personal opinion. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 15:50, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
