HKWNB, HKCOTW, Current events
Hi. Thanks for your contributions to some Hong Kong-related articles. You might be interested to take a look at HK wikipedians' notice board, HK Collaboration of the Week and Current events in Hong Kong and Macao. Happy editing! &mdash; Instantnood June 28, 2005 09:11 (UTC)

Royal Oak Station
I'm afraid that your recent edit has worsened the article. First, it's removed the Wikipedia-style introduction; secondly, it's thus removed the context (the reader has no idea where or what the station is); thirdly, it's introduced unnecessary section divisions. I've reverted the change. if I can, I'll merge the new information mentioned in your edit summary, but you might want to do it yourself (but please read the Guide to layout first).

Sorry for spam... I notice you added a test note...
I am currently in discussions with Ozemail regarding persistent vandalism that has been occuring from the following IP addresses in their network:

 * 203.166.99.252 (talk &bull; contribs &bull; [ page moves] &bull; block user &bull; [ block log])

I need assistance with all the specific items of vandalism. I have setup a page to gather this evidence at User:Ta bu shi da yu/Ozemail.

I need your help! Please use the format:

 * Added abusive text to Ta bu shi da yu user page

We'll see just how good their service is at responding to this sort of thing - we should be supporting any company that assists us. Therefore, I'm hoping that the Wikipedia spirit of cooperation and immense amount of volunteers will help with tracking down vandal edits.

If Ozemail gives a good response, we can use them as an example of a good ISP, and maybe even shame AOL into assisting us (we get lots of vandalism from them).

Sorry
I'm sorry if I did something wrong, but I'm not sure how what I did could be considered vandalism Magicmonster 05:48, 9 August 2005 (UTC) It was one of the articles in the Nuttall Encyclopedia that needed to be redirected, and Maximilien Robespierre is refered to as the incorruptibleMagicmonster 06:03, 9 August 2005 (UTC) Well, The Incorruptible was already in there but the topics that needed to be added list did this strange little thing so I thought that both should be added, but now as I see no reference of incorruptable just by itself being referring to Robespierre so I'll remove it.Magicmonster 06:13, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Wikimania 2006
In the course of informal discussions at Wikimania in Frankfurt the possibility of having Wikimania 2006 in Vancouver was raised. What makes Canada desirable for such a meeting is the capacity to draw delegates from the United States. For many overseas delegates, however, U.S. visa requirements make that country less attractive. All else being equal, Europeans see Vancouver as a more interesting Canadian city to visit than Toronto, the only other Canadian city to receive significant consideration.

Preliminary bids from various cities need to be made by Sept. 30, 2005. A short list will be drawn from those bids. Is there enough interest and energy to put together such a conference in Vancouver for August 2006? The people in Frankfurt put on a tremendous gathering, with a core organizational group of about a dozen people. Some 400 people attended from 52 different countries.

I expect that a North American Wikimania could be a little smaller, but we would still need a suitable facility. It would be good to know that such a facility is available for a conference; the type of youth hostel facility that was used in Frankfurt does not exist in North America. What would be the cost of hosting such a conference at UBC?

I'm looking for interest and commitment. To that end I am proposing a Vancouver meetup for Saturday, Sept. 24. If someone has a reasonably accesible place for such a meeting please let me know. (I live in Richmond, but something in the city of Vancouver would be more appropriate.)

I am spammiong this to all Vancouver area Wikipedians that I can find. Please reply to my talk page. Eclecticology 21:50:16, 2005-09-03 (UTC)

Wikimedia Canada
Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 17:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Vancouver Wikipedians Meetup
Greetings, you're getting this spam (courtesy of Tawkerbot) because you were listed on WikiProject_Vancouver. In short, we're trying to have a meetup and we'd appreciate it if you'd join our Yahoo Group setup to figure out a time/place that would work. You can find the group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vancouver_wikipedians/. If you have any questions feel free to make a post there or on the WikiProject page.

Happy Editing!

Maple Ridge Neighbourhoods
No biggie about the missed neighbourhoods; there's a few more if I gave it some thought, I think; I don't know MR that well; we were from "the Mission side" of Ruskin and I related that way; Mission doesn't have a neighbourhoods/localities list but it's not GVRD so not relevant to your work. I guess I might as well add 'em to the Mission page, come to think of it...Skookum1 23:19, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

photos in HK transportation
Hello Carson, I did't get what you said, but would you please go to the site where the photo you edit under the category of transportation? it looks not tidy and that is why I deleted all excessive photos over there in order to avoid to make the site look messy. Thanks for your understanding! 68.191.14.91 06:15, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, it looks fine now. :) (replied to your talk page) Carson 06:16, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome, Carson Lam, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!
