Wow :)

Why thank you for my barnstar :) I am feeling particularly chuffed - this is my first :D My I put it on my user page?

Comments On George Giffen Article

As you can see I am relitivly new so if I am posting this in the wrong spot let me know. I have edited a bit that may be considerd that was not written to a NPOV but still if it comes across that way can you let me know what it is, most of the stuff in the Giffen article was just an attempt to clean it up to make it look better and not my work, I can see how it apperas to be written by a descendant, I will give it another go, please feel free to offer your thoughts Christopherandrewstevens 04:32, 3 May 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Dear YellowMonkey/Archive5,

Thanks for voting on my RFA! I appreciate your faith in me, and was overwhelmed by the positive response to my RFA; for it shows that at least I'm doing something right. :) I've started working to improve myself already, and I hope that next time, things run better, and maybe, just maybe, one day we can bask on the shores of Admintopia together.

Re : George Bush impeachment

Thanks for the heads up. There's two ways to go from here - a checkuser, or/and a RFC (if RCU turns out negative). The IP seems to be used by a number of formerly/currently banned users, which means it is possible that we are re-opening a can of worms. Let me know of your opinon on the options. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 09:55, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Harbar

No, it's O.K. Always feel free to ask me, mate. Yeah, usually, but as it's my first admin action I felt lax. I went through it on IRC with Essjay and figured that he might reform after a 24h block, and that I'd keep an eye on him and indef block him if he didn't. Anyway, it doesn't matter since another admin decided to indef block him anyways. Snoutwood (talk) 04:56, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

Administrator Coaching
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!

The last AC meeting (full log)
Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect. 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. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon.

Re: Portal:South Australia

At this stage, I'm personally not enthusiastic about such a portal - but not necessarily opposed. There are number of portals for subnational entities (aside cities), of which Portal:Kerala is probably the best maintained. I do think there is a fair amount of quality South Australian content, but not enough of it to avoid repeats. My biggest concern would be maintenance; if Portal:Australia essentially has only me to maintain it (aside P:AU/N, which has gained patronage since I transcluded it WP:AWNB), how will portals for the states and territories manage? And although you only propose Portal:South Australia (which would have at least you and myself), it would be precedent to the others. I think if such portals were created the best option would be to make them navigation-oriented, like Portal:Europe. --cj | talk 05:49, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comments about page length on TT:DYK

Please don't make comments on the length of the pages in Template talk:Did you know. It is subject to font size and monitor resolution.

Request for Editor / User Page Review

Hey Blnguyen –

You opposed my last RfA in March on rationale I believe may have been related to my user page. In the time since then, I have changed my page to be more universalist (which still conforms with my personal beliefs) and removed the majority of information regarding my conversion to Islam in favor of a section on my philosophy (as well as yours if you desire). Now, I'm looking for your feedback on what you think of the redesign of the page and whether it is sufficient in quelling the March controversy over the page as well as solving the issue about possible inability to maintain a neutral point of view, especially in religion-related articles. For what it's worth, the reason I kept a condensed version of the timeline was because there were, and still are, many people who find it interesting instead of a form of proselytization. Many people have also given me positive feedback on my talk page regarding the look of the page. I personally believe that it is okay to insert individuality onto user pages, especially if it still promotes a sense of community. That is what I was going for with this current version of my user page.

Please make comments regarding the user page on my editor review page. Thanks in advance. joturn e r 15:06, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfA timing

Most new questions added on to RfAs happen within the first three days, and any commentary that needs to be responded to will most likely happen in that window as well. It'd be best if you could be around for the duration of the RfA, but if you must miss some days it's better to have those towards the end of the seven days rather than the beginning. So, I'd recommend in your case that you begin the RfA on a Monday or Tuesday, and at the latest a Wednesday. Hope that helps, --Durin 12:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help in Mosman

Could I get your advice on the Mosman, NSW article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosman%2C_New_South_Wales). There is a chunk of text continually being added from the local council website, and a user from purportedly from the Mosman Library stating that they are happy to have it added with appropriate attribution. I still think it's against policy, though, and the text is not exactly encyclopaedic? Steve 01:23, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not an expert in these things, but a cut and paste from an external website can only be done when that party explicitly "gives permission" to do so. In this case, I have seen administrators (I am not an admin, not yet anyway) tell the person who is claiming to be the presumed copyright holder to use the "email this user" option in the toolbox to send mail to an administrator from an email address that is associated with the organization which owns copyright to confirm that they really are the owners of the copyright. So I think they should get an account, set the email to their Mosman council email, and then email and administrator to verify that you are the copyright owner and are happy for it to be put on the wikipedia.

Ein bißchen Frieden

Hi Blnguyen, I was already thinking about whether I like the page title (the article is nice, thanks for DYK-nomming it!). The correct German title has an ß (which you should not confuse with a β) and "bißchen" is lowercase. As it is "bisschen" now in reformed German orthography and the ß is not very popular on enwiki anyway (there is often debate on whether to use it), the ss is probably fine, just the capitalization is wrong: Ein bisschen Frieden would be better, I think. Unless you impose English capitalization rules for titles. So anyway, these are my thoughts on this issue. I don't know yet if I'll be here to check the DYK update (and don't edit much in that area), but I'll try to keep an eye on it if possible. Thank you, and happy editing, Kusma (討論) 02:14, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved to Ein bisschen Frieden. You could have moved it yourself - if the target is a redirect to the source without other page history, then any editor can move the page. It is not out-of-process at all (and deletions of move targets with trivial history for uncontroversial moves are specifically allowed by WP:CSD#G6).
