Hey...
Just wondering, when you copied the stuff from my userpage (which I don't mind that you did), why did you leave the "capital letter" thing when it says you'd prefer the name "Information Center" (note the capital I)? Just thought you might want to change that... -albrozdude 04:03, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

RE:Your message

It's no problem. By the way, you can "sign" messages by putting four tildes (~). That will leave your "signature" like this: albrozdude 05:20, 23 March 2006 (UTC), only of course, with your name instead of mine.

If you have any other questions about Wikipedia, feel free to leave me a message. -albrozdude 05:20, 23 March 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. 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 KnowledgeOfSelf, JoanneB, FireFox and Titoxd. 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 me via email or 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 be!

Thanks!

Request for Adminship
The way to withdraw your RfA is to strike through your name using tags, and sign again using ~, and finally to remove the link to your RfA from the main RfA page. I hope you stick around and learn more about wikipedia, and eventually try for adminship again. I've been here three months, and people are opposing my RfA for not being around long enough. It's nothing personal. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Mak emi 05:58, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey, no problem. Don't feel bad, it happens to a lot of new users. There are a lot of things to learn here, more every day. Just have fun, find some articles you can make awesome, and I have no doubt you'll be an admin eventually. Good luck, Mak emi 06:22, 24 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Information Center, I just got your message. I woulda voted if I'd seen it earlier. Sorry about the results, if you try again later I'll be sure to vote for you. -albrozdude 03:23, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Old Skool Esperanzial note
Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Cel es tianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 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)

Old Snake?
I think it is Solid Snake, the reason he is Old is coz of the genes he has, it happened to Solidus too, but I actually have a question, I don't know if you have played MGS3, but in the radio screen you can get extra pictures of all the characters, so, do you know the total amount of extra photos you can get (i.e You start our with 4, how many do you end up with)?

†he Bread 05:26, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah...
I like you and all. I know that you think metal gear is great (dont blame you) but can you please dont edit the title of my topic in the talk page for MGS4

Thanks a million

Image:Sir Run Run Shaw.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sir Run Run Shaw.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, 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 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. -- Chowbok  ☠  00:38, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Safiyya bint Huyayy
Hi, I'm having a bit of a tiff over in that article, I would, it about including the title 'concubine' in the lead paragraph of Safiyya bint Huyayy, who was a Jewish girl whose whole tribe was slain by Mohammad, as described further into that very article. I would appreciate your input in the talk page. FrummerThanThou 02:43, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Introduction
I think you may be being a bit overzealous with the JS reverts on Introduction; the point of the page is to be a sandbox where new editors can try their hand at editing. While at least one person did remove the header (which can be restored via bot, with a plain edit summary, by clicking here), others are simply doing exactly what they are supposed to do there, and having it reverted with an edit summary that labels thier edits as vandalism. It's fine to reset the page, but it's probably a good idea to either use the bots or do it by hand, rather than using an extension that uses vandalism as a default label, in the spirit of not biting the newbies.
