What you do in your User space is generally a matter for the individual user, but please don't redirect pre-existing articles from the main article space to versions you have created in your user space. Anilocra 12:13, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't even notice the mistake because I accidently linked to the pre-existing page. --Fasten 14:17, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I notice that you are creating a dictionary project in your user space. This is probably outside the intended uses of user pages; Wikipedia is not a dictionary; we already have a dictionary project, see http://en.wiktionary.org/ -- Karada 10:35, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

I'll be continuing the pages on http://conlang.wikicities.com/wiki/Pi:Language in the intermediate future and put up a link to forward to that wiki. --Fasten 12:55, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Cohousing
I notice you added "internet cafes" to the list of cohousing facilities. I've never heard of a community with such a thing (mine has wireless access and coffee in the common house, but not in a "cafe" format). Is this a real thing? I'm inclined to remove it. Comments? [this is from the talk page--please feel free to comment there! Regards, rodii 16:53, 23 September 2005 (UTC) ]


 * "What else constitutes an Internet cafe? Waitresses?"


 * I would say... this doesn't really seem like a cafe in any sense to me. We have a dining room, there's wireless, but the two things don't have any relationship in our vision at least. Calling it an internet cafe evokes something quite different to me, and using it here seems idiosyncratic. rodii

How to revert (slightly erroneous):

[19:08]  What you want to do is this: [19:08]  go to the page's history [19:08]  select the last version from before the vandalism happened [19:08]  (by clicking on its date/timestamp) [19:09]  then, don't make any changes, but click edit [19:09]  the screen will point out that you are editing an out-of-date version [19:09]  which is true, because you want to restore the old, pre-vandal version [19:09]  then just click save [19:09]  put "revert vandalism" in the edit summary

Quorn
I hope I've answered your question regarding RNA toxicity at talk:quorn. Does this satisfy your concern? -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 20:35, 14 December 2005 (UTC)


 * The NPOV tag you added to Quorn is still on that article, and you've not replied to my posts either on its talk page or here. Do you still beleive there is an NPOV issue with the article? -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 22:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome,, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! 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 the StressUnit, 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. Redwolf24 runs the spam to keep members 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/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee comprised of FireFox, Flcelloguy, Titoxd, and Karmafist. The next set of elections will be in February, and I would be glad to see you vote, or even consider running for a position.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Celestianpower by email or talk page or 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 :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work! Bratsche talk 20:32, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2 01 2006 Kent Hovind
I apologize if you took offense to what I said. I have a bad habit of not composing messages properly at times. It was meant to be a (sarcastic) observation of the mediation process in general. The debate was not between Jason Gastrich and myself in regards to this article. Jason and I do have issues that he has taken outside of WikiPedia, but that is being handled at this time. The article itself has cooled down and has not been altered by either participant reported to the Cabal for several days. You did no mediation [1] in this case. You excused it with no other resolution than, "This is indeed the same case" as Mediation Cabal/Cases/27 December 2005/Mark K. Bilbo. It was pointed out to you, by myself and another WikiPedian that these are not the same cases. They are 2 different articles with 2 different subjects. That the contributing (and debating) editors for both articles in question are the same persons does not warrant your dismisall. In the Bilbo case, Jason was trying to push his POV by including defaming statements and quotations from UseNet which aren't allowed in WikiPedia. In the Hovind article, he was deleting verifiable critiques of his personal hero. Bonaparte has in fact "come through" and issued a statement regarding the Bilbo article. He has vindicated himself in my eyes. Icj tlc 22:53, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

An Esperanzial note
As I remember, the last spam that was handed out was on the 20th of December last year, so I think it's time for another update. First and foremost, the new Advisory Council and Administrator General have been elected. They consist of myself as Admin General and FireFox, Titoxd, Flcelloguy and Karmafist as the Advisory Council. We as a group met formally for the first time on the 31st of Decembe. The minutes of this meeting can be found at WP:ESP/ACM. The next one is planned for tonight (Sunday 29 January) at 20:30 UTC and the agenda can be found at WP:ESP/ACM2.

In other news, Karmafist has set up a discussion about a new personal attack policy, which it can be found here. Other new pages include an introductory page on what to do when you sign up, So you've joined Esperanza... and a welcome template: EA-welcome (courtesy of Bratsche). Some of our old hands may like to make sure they do everything on the list as well ;) Additionally, the userpage award program proposal has become official is operational: see Esperanza/User Page Award to nominate a userpage or volunteer as a judge. Also see the proposed programs page for many new proposals and old ones that need more discussion ;)

Other than that, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you an Esperanzially good new WikiYear :D Thank you! --Cel e stianpower háblame 16:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Another Esperanzial note...
Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

Shiloh Shepherd Dog Mediation
Thanks for checking back about that -- I meant to strike it out last night when I wandered by. The case was taken to ArbCom, so no longer requires mediation. Thanks anyways! .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 14:16, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Final Fantasy mediation case
Hi! I filled the new template as asked, but the case was resolved on 2/12/06 by mutual accord. Sean and I are still bumping heads sometimes but I believe  mediation will not be needed anymore Renmiri 19:34, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
