Huh? I didn't delete it, I deleted the helpme thing and moved what you said to the archives... Im confused. Tarheels07 15:28, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Supermajority
Actually, a supermajority isn't defined anyhere, not even in the rules of either house of Congress, as 2/3. All it is is more than a majority (which, itself, is defined as "more than half" - not one more than half, not 50% plus 1, not 51%, nothing like that. While 2/3 is a supermajority requirement, the converse is not true: to invoke cloture in the US Senate requires a supermajority of three-fifths.

Defining voting requirements in terms of a percentage or the like is incorrect; see the majority article for a discussion.

As I said, this is a pet peeve; it's a common error in parliamentary procedure, and as a parliamentarian, I try hard to get people to understand what's going on. Jay Maynard 15:45, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Iteresting; seeing as I am a national qualifier in high school Student Congress (where a supermajority is two thirds), that my only experience, so obviously I am wrong. Thanks for the input, Jay. // The  True  Sora  17:17, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Supersubstitute and delete
I had an idea on how people could keep their userboxes fully functioning without having them in the template or usertemplate space. Look at this code:

The key line is. If the template is deleted, or even protected, the whatlinkshere function will still catch this box from the deleted page. Visually, the box will look exactly the same, and functionally the box will do the samething. The challenge then falls on the admins to prove a null link is somehow a violation. The text in the boxes still will be judged via NPA and devisive or inflametory, but the text will be judged equally with other User: namespace text. If you try and delete the boxes, you have to be fair and delete all non-boxes text that says the same thing from people userpages. What do you think?--Rayc 15:40, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

vandalism
>adding "garbage," in your own words, to a proposal which had high community support, is clearly vandalism. Please do not do it again.

Anyone who wastes the time and efforts of the Wikipedia community on silly debates about user boxes is doing damage to the project. Realistically, you have to expect comments to this effect any time and any place. --JWSchmidt 02:25, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Another star (in a box) for you
For your very nice proposal, even if it doesn't pass despite high support. Do with it as you like. -Goldom &#8253;&#8253;&#8253; ⁂ 06:07, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Need some assistance
I posted my first wikipedia article a few months back. Various people edited it and linked to is. All of the sudden about a week ago, someone deleted it after a brief deletion discussion that I didn't even know had happened. They seemed to cite that there weren't a lot of backup sources of information, which ironically is exactly why I wrote the article. To provide information on a common practice that is not well documented.

Anyway, the page was deleted, and I would like to have a deletion review done. If nothing else, I'd like to get a copy of the page back, as I foolishly didn't keep a local copy as I didn't realize full article deletion was popular. I'm not real experienced with the backend processes of wikipedia. I left a message on the talk page of the admin who performed the actual delete (Mackensen) but got no reply. I tried placing the Delete Review template on the page, but not sure if thats what I was supposed to do or not. And I don't know how long it takes for the review to kick off.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Can you help?
Hey Dom Pody, I put several userboxes in on my user page but unfortunately can not align them with the NFL box you made for me. If you have a chance to fix it up then that would be very helpful. If I screwed it up then that is understandable. Thanks, (Jeeps2009 01:05, 13 June 2006 (UTC))

Hey, I was wondering if you could help in spicing up my user page. It might be better to comment back on my talk page. Thanks! -- Dominant One 19:16, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Whoops. Sorry.
Sorry Dom, I just needed to align the userboxes again. Already completed but thank you very much for your concern. Thanks for the help, (Jeeps2009)

Thanks for the intro
The title says it all. Your intro on my talk page was helpful in my navigation of Wikipedia. Thanks -- Anarkial Talk 23:00, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

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 Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Image:RPilon.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:RPilon.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. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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. -- Chowbok 17:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
