Basque Portal?
Kaixo, I'm contacting you because you figure in Category:User eu, meaning that you speak some Basque. You must therefore be Basque yourself or have an intense connection with the Basque Country.

I am thinking that maybe was a good idea to create a Portal (or maybe a Wikiproject? or both?) on the Basque theme but I feel such kind of project requires more than just one person.

If you are interested, please comment in my talk page.

Enjoy, --Sugaar 10:35, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Former Countries
I would like to invite you back to WikiProject Former countries. You were previously a member of its former incarnation WP Historical States. The objective of this project is still to improve the content and accessibility of articles on former countries. A taskforce for the states of the Holy Roman Empire has also been started and the child project on Prussia has also been revived. This restart is still in its early days but it would be great to have you back. - 52 Pickup 18:51, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Louis Penfield House
Nice work on Louis Penfield House. Hey, it's a Wright house that I could comfortably fit in! I was wondering if you recall your source for the statment of the cost of the restoration being $10,000? I used to live in the Cleveland area, and I could have sworn that I read something (perhaps in Timeline?) listing the cost as considerably more. $20,000 sticks in my mind, but I could be completely wrong.

Image:Virgincola.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Virgincola.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. —Angr 22:12, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

You're... leaving?
Sorry to hear that you're leaving Wikipedia. The dissolution of Esperanza hurt everybody involved, not just you and me. We are all injured in terms of our sense of community and our editcount.

Things might change. For several times I've left Wikipedia but at last come back; because this "conservatory of knowledge" has so many defects that, being a scientist (or just a civilized person, anyways), I can't stand from correcting them wherever I could.

Really, not having a community of partners on Wikipedia doesn't matter. I don't have strong ones. The closest are Firsfron and Aili, which I contact them only, say, once a week or so at most.

Maybe you'll change your mind in the future =] Just focus on anything you feel comfortable in life and enjoy it. Wikipedia shouldn't be everything. We all welcome you to come back in the future.

Regards, --Deryck C. 10:19, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * It can be really tough, when you're not feeling good about Wikipedia anymore. It totally makes sense that when something is no longer fun, one wouldn't want to spend time with it.  If you do leave, I hope you have a lovely time elsewhere, but you might consider taking a break at first, and seeing how you feel when you come back.  If you still feel like it's not worth it to be here, then you know what to do, but you might also be refreshed by some time away, and feel better about the encyclopedia.  Regardless, I hope all goes well. -- Nataly a  17:49, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Tim, I saw your message on the Stress alerts page, and I thought I'd share my thoughts. Yes, now that Esperanza is gone, there isn't a central location for community, but I find that the community spirit still exists in a more diffuse form, centered around articles, Wikiprojects, and between users with shared interests. If you're seeking a sense of community, I suggest finding some topic that deeply interests you, and start working on articles within that topic, including interacting with users on related talk pages. You'd be surprised how quickly you rekindle that community spirit in this way.


 * I can understand that you would want to leave if Wikipedia is only becoming a source of stress for you. Like Natalya, I suggest taking a break if my earlier ideas don't work out for you. I'm sure that you would be welcome to return if you take a short break, or even a long one. If you do choose to leave, I wish you well. -- Kyok o  19:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I read your note on the Stres Alert page. I've left and come back. My involvement has varied. Being part of Wiki doesn't have to be a big commitment. Just do what you want to do now and again. And if you ever want a chat and a nice cup of tea, then pop on over to my talk page. And bring some biscuits! Warm regards SilkTork 19:32, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Association of Young Wikipedians
Finally getting back to you. I've been kind of antisocial online too (that is, I've spent too much time working on the lonelygirl15 wiki) and haven't logged into Wikipedia for a while. I saw your message then, and I am still interested in the project. If you're still active or are staying inactive, message me. --silverBULLET(x3) 21:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Esperanza didn't die, it was simply absorbed
Most of the people from Esperanza are still here, as are most of the departments that were under the Esperanza umbrella.

If you miss the clique of folks who hung out and chatted there, you can endeavor to reunite them in an IRC chat room, or even on your own user talk page.

Or just join a new clique. Esperanza was a fun project, but Wikipedia is HUGE and has no scarcity of fun projects, nor does it lack fun people to collaborate with.

If you need help finding a fun project (not necessarily a WikiProject), let me know.

 * I don't join cliques easily. I don't really like IRC since it leaves one's IP address exposed... I think I've functionally abandoned Wikipedia as a new content editor. Some things just can't be helped. -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 04:46, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

DRV
The full text if the old revision was: Danny Sveinson is a Canadian electric guitar and songwriting prodigy. Born May 4 1993 in Surrey, British Columbia, Sveinson first discovered rock with AC/DC and after hearing the band's music, began playing guitar at the age of 8. He frequently performs with concerts, with a two-piece backing band.

Sveinson performed most recently as the closing act for the Telus World Ski and Snowboarding Festival. He is the youngest performer to ever play at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, where he opened for Colin James. He has also made appearances on Breakfast TV, Urban Rush, The Vicky Gabereau Show, The Mike Bullard Show, as well as on MTV and YTV. He released his debut album in early 2004.

Beginning in July 2004, CBC began a yearlong documentary following Sveinson, focusing on his daily life and rising career Spartaz Humbug! 10:52, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Danny Sveinson
I've nominated Danny Sveinson, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Danny Sveinson satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Danny Sveinson& and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). You are free to edit the content of Danny Sveinson during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Spartaz Humbug! 07:35, 6 July 2007 (UTC) annoying TW canned warning removed. The article was recreated after being deleted at VFD and shouldn't be recreated unless endorsed by DRV. The debate there petered out and it was recreated instead. By rights the article falls to be speedied as a recreation of a V/AFD deleted article but this one is significantly better then the version deleted at VFD. I have therefore sent it to AFD for further discussion. Spartaz Humbug! 09:21, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

On your Association of Young Wikipedians
Generally, it's not such a good idea to self-identify children (there was a big case on this; see Requests for arbitration/Protecting children's privacy). In fact, the Wikipedia Youth Association was deleted thereafter. Hopefully you take this into consideration. Sr13 07:53, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Little context in NFL Properties
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on NFL Properties, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because NFL Properties is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting NFL Properties, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 09:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Henry Hill (artist)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Henry Hill (artist), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I'm confused; you've created a non-article with a template related to deletion review.

Speedy deletion of The Rocket Summer
A tag has been placed on The Rocket Summer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Horselover Frost (talk) 03:54, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
