Political movement
I didn't actually nominate it; I was just moving the collaboration-of-the-week notice from the article to the talk page, to comply with the usual Wikipedia practice for such tags. The person who originally added the notice seemed insistent on doing things their own way in many regards, so it's possible they never bothered to make the nomination itself (and if your high standards for writing are offended by "they" as a gender-neutral singular, I apologize). --Michael Snow 19:41, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

3RR
I'm well aware of the 3RR. Out of curiosity, on what page were you concerned that I might violate it? &mdash; Dan | Talk 22:47, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. The 3RR doesn't apply to reverting vandalism, and the other user has already been blocked for his edits, but thanks anyway for the notice. &mdash; Dan | Talk 22:51, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Girl - table
That didn't quite work in my browser, Firefox - the text got squashed to the left. May I suggest you make a table containing the contents box, and the two photos, while you leave the definition text above it? Thanks, --Janke | Talk 06:26:51, 2005-09-09 (UTC)
 * Well... To be honest, I think it's better to have the photos at right. Too much whitespace at the contents box this way --Janke | Talk 06:37:33, 2005-09-09 (UTC)
 * No panic! If you can find a way to get a nice layout without too much whitespace, that would be great! (Just checked - looks pretty good now!) As for animation (and comics) - that would be worth looking into, Manga, etc. - but I'm no expert there. My contributions are only in the suggested photos, you've seen some of my uploads on the gallery page (I think the little girl in the amusement ride car might be funny, as a counterpoint in gender roles... ;-) PS: Try the and  commands if you want to affect the Contents box... Keep up the good work! --Janke | Talk 11:16:18, 2005-09-09 (UTC)
 * Glad to see that you got it figured out. If you have any more questiosn, you know where to find me! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 01:17, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well unfortunately, Raul reverted my changes with this note (copied from his talk page, in response to my query about why he did so...) "Your solution didn't look bad in my browser actually, but (as a general rule) you want to avoid html and complex table layouts (like you had) because (a) they tend to break on some browsers, and (B) while they might look good on Wikipedia, they tend not to transfer well to other wikis. →Raul654" I guess I'll defer to his experience, although it rankles a bit...

WP:COTW
Dear Sandy, listening to thanks always gives a feeling of Sound of Music. Your saying thanks to me for my small contributions to Girl came as a pleasant surprise, and I found again that Small is Beautiful. --Bhadani 12:35, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
I've enjoyed working with you. Rick Norwood 13:38, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the flower!
You did a lot more than I ever did on the Girl article! (I just contributed a few photos, no deep thoughts at all...) Keep up the good work on Wikipedia, and think happy thoughts! --Janke | Talk 17:14:31, 2005-09-12 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar

The charter is here. (Relating to Esperanza)
Hello Mamawrites, the Charter for Esperanza is up. Take a looksie :) R  e  dwolf24  (talk) 02:52, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Esperanza made less bureaucratic
Hello again, I have (unilatterly) taken away the 'assembly' idea, as per my reasons at that edit summary and per Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Charter. I have left the admin general, as some leadership is good. Now, all you have to do is be a member to establish consensus, the whole assembly idea is gone. Also, I have added an advisory committee, of four members, with limited power besides watching over the admin general and making sure he doesn't do anything stupid. Please look at the ammended charter, and I would love a comment. R e  dwolf24  (talk) 00:25, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

The last time I'm spamming you all with Esperanza stuff
Hello Mamawrites. As you may or may not know, there have been some troubles with Esperanza. So now, as a last ditch to save the community, please vote at Esperanza/Reform on all neccisary polls. P.S. I'm very sorry for spamming you all with these messages, and this will be the last time. I recommend putting ESP on your watchlist. Cheers and please look at that, let's stop the civil war then.

In re: Sockpuppets
Mamawrites:

JCarriker & Redwolf24 are not sockpuppets. While I don't know JCarriker as well, I do know Redwolf24 very well, and have for several months; I assure you, he is not a sockpuppet. He's a highschooler from Washington State. -- Essjay ·  Talk 14:55, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for the 'Thank you' award for the Girl collaboration! - C HAIRBOY (☎) 21:42, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

thanks
Thanks for your note. I have to admit it confused me, as I hadn't intended to participate in WP:COTW, but had just happened to be editing that article around that time. I think the article could use alot more work (it even has a dispute header at the moment), but at least it has some nice images, which was what I was there for at the time. In any case your note was thoughtful and appreciated, and you seem like an interesting person from your user page. Nice having met you, Sam Spade 01:38, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Mediation
Hello, Mamawrites! Thanks for your support of my mediation committee nomination; I'm pleased to announce that I'm now an official mediator. Thanks once again. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 20:34, 27 September 2005 (UTC)


 * (response to WP:ESP) Actually, mainly because I didn't see the message. :-) Plus there was really nothing to reply about... Now I'm thoroughly confused... Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 19:52, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
