Esperanza Elections
Hey JoanneB!!!! :) (How IRC like for us huh?) I wish to say thanks for your vote at the Esperanza elections.

I've made my way into the Advisory Committee, so if you ever need any help or have any queries about the stuff we do, please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks again, KnowledgeOfSelf 10:05, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Congrats go to you as well!

More Congrats!
Not a problem, you definately deserved it. Thank you for your vote as well! I just hope your victory doesn't prevent you from sending over more of those great dating tips though ;-) Karm  a  fist  21:04, 1 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Congrats as well! Flcelloguy (A note? ) 22:16, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Expansion?
I have heard about expanding the Advisory Council, what do you think about that?; and if so, how many new seats? Thanks for your help! Wiki e Zach|  talk  21:26, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

RE: My request on User:Essjay/CVU/IRC/Verifications
Thank you for clearing up that situation. How many edits does one need before he is considered part of the wiki 'club' or to be part of the IRC verification system? Fkmd 23:03, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

NOTICE
Please take notice of Esperanza/Charter Amendments At approx. 845 EST (one hour) I will place it before the entire Esperanza Community for debate. I am informing all Leadership members. -- Wiki e Zach|  talk  00:43, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

RE: Just saying "hi"
Hi! Yeah, I'm really miffed. I don't mind so much the limitted time but it means I can't go on Skype or even IRC. You all (you know who I mean) mean a lot to me and not being able to chat is really infuriating. --Cel es tianpower háblame 13:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations!
A bit late, but still, for being elected to the Esperanza AC. I know you'll do a great job. Cheers! -- Run e Welsh | &tau;&alpha;&lambda;&kappa; 13:47, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for. :) I hadn't been able to find the page you pointed me to.  Very helpful.  -Big Smooth 22:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I am so glad that in this encyclopedia that correct information is forbidden. Thank you for misconstruing things that were not only correct but informative to socieety. THanks to you I will never use this horrid site of lies. How wonderful it it that in today's society anything that is slightly percieved as something disliked is immediately disregarded. Again, thnks.........................for nothing.

dear randomly selected administrator
Hello JB: Imagine my surprise when I signed in a few minutes ago and discovered that I no longer had a user page. It should have been User:Carptrash, but it ain't, despite the blue link. I still seem to have my watchlist, my talk and probably everything else, but no user page. Any ideas? PS I am going to leave this note with 3 admins, just in case #1, and/or #2 are on vacation or involved in something more compelling than my little issue. Carptrash 23:03, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much for your prompt attention. I thought purges went out of style with Stalin, but that just shows how wrong i can be.  life is good.  Carptrash 01:00, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

notable
Hi Joanne. I'd like to get your opinion. Is this person notable? Thanks. --F a ng Aili 21:25, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Fang Aili, I don't think so. I don't think she meets any of the criteria on WP:BIO. Furthermore, there are very little credible sources that could be used for an article about her (in fact, in line with what's said here, I'm going to delete that last paragraph. I wouldn't speedy it though, but list it on WP:AFD. There are many other persons from the same show present in Wikipedia, I've not looked yet for any other AfD discussions about those - so I don't know if my view differs much from the rest of the Wikipedia Community :-) --Joann e B 06:55, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

User:216.123.202.165
I'll plead ignorant here, as I am a simple scribe, but it would seem that this user is intent on being disrupted, especially given his comments to User:Tachyon01 Cna this block be made permenant? Cheers! -- Scaife    (Talk)   Don't forget  Hanlon's Razor  07:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Permanent blocks of IPs are never a good idea, unless they are open proxies. It looks like the same person has been using this IP for a while, but that could change in the near future. However, I agree how disruptive he is and I will not hesitate to make the next block much longer. --Joann e B 07:20, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Back from break
Hi, JoanneB! Thank you for your kind words regarding my wikibreak; they meant a lot to me. :) Staying away from this place proved impossible, so I'm back. Time to rejoin the vandal hunt! ;) Happy belated 1,000,000th article milestone. All the best,  Sango  123    (e)  20:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello and apologies...
Hi ... just dropping you a note to let you know I'm still alive, just sick. As you can see from my user contributions page, my activity has trickled down to nothing over the last few days as my cold has gotten worse and worse. I just wanted to let you know I didn't leave Wikipedia or go on a random Wikibreak or anything; I just haven't been able to sit in front of the computer for more than a few minutes at a time without getting dizzy. I hope to get back and finish my Admin Coaching questions sometime in the next 24 hours or so. I'll let you know when I'm done, and I'm sorry for making you wait like this! --Aaron 01:47, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Requests for comment/Ixfd64
I have filed an RFC concerning an administrator's reversal of several blocks without discussion. This may be of particular interest to you as a couple of the blocks were ones set by you. Regards. — Mar. 12, '06 [15:11] 

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways, from comparing articles that need work to other articles you've edited, to choosing articles randomly (ensuring that all articles with cleanup tags get a chance to be cleaned up). It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion.

P.S. Sorry about the broken links; copying and pasting from the SuggestBot logs is not kind to characters outside the English alphabet. -- ForteTuba 14:50, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Jayjg
Jayjg tried to get this person (Michael Levy, Baron Levy) delisted from the list of British Jews. Why would he insert his personal POV to hide facts on this matter??
 * I honestly don't know, and I don't really care either. If you have a conflict with another user, the stuff you did is not the acceptable way to handle it. Vandalism is never the solution, so you better find ways to deal with it more effectively. I'm no part in this, after all the vandalising you did I could never deal with this dispute in a neutral way. Don't ever dare accusing me or other editors of censorship if we delete edits like that! --Joann e B 14:26, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for reverting the vandalism on my User: page and sprotecting it, and for sprotecting my Talk: page as well; I appreciate it. For more information about this particular editor, please see User:Jayjg/Disruptive Apartheid editor. Jayjg (talk) 04:11, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Squidward blocks
I've noticed that you've temporarily blocked some of the IPs used by the Squidward vandal. However, these IPs are usually open proxies or zombie computers, so it's better to block indefinitely. Otherwise, they'll be used in the next attack. And I'm pretty sure that the Squidward guy has more attacks planned for us. --Ixfd64 21:57, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi, ok! I'll go through them tomorrow and reblock! --Joann e B 22:30, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

PLEASE UN BAN ME IT WAS MY LITTLE BROTHER CHEARS MATE —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crallanisfat (talk • contribs)

My unblock
I want to know what was the reason for my block yesterday. Why you didn't warned me first? What is your problem of deleting 1 category? This category if you go to see, it is unnecessary. The category:cypriot people is so good structured that help anyone to find the proper article because of the subcategories. this is not done with the greek cypriot category where there is a mess. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.4.163.134 (talk • contribs) Replied on user's talk page. --Joann e B 16:24, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Watchlist clean-up
Hi! We were talking about somehow splitting the watchlist into namespaces, remember? Actually I've managed to solve this problem somehow. I'd appreciate if you could check my monobook, perhaps try it out and tell me what you think before I publish it on WP:JS. It's at the end of the file, marked with "WATCHLIST CLEAN UP" comment - can't miss, really. Regards, Misza 13 T C 22:34, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Administrator
Hello. I noticed that you are a member of the green E so I thought that it would be good to ask you how you go about to exactly becoming an admin. I already have the tool where it updates and shows me the newest IP Address edits and I am reverting a lot of vandalism now and the problem is that with repeat offenders I can't block them. So I was kinda wondering if you could help me out. -- Damien Vryc  e  19:03, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

The newsletter
It would IMO be much better to put the newsletter on a page and just post a link on people's talk pages rather than putting the whole newsletter on everyone's page. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 20:18, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi, we'll consider that, yes. Thanks for responding. Regards, --Joann e B 20:23, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Help
Hello. On the Battle of Cannae article, there is some text that will not appear. Alhtough for some reason, when you press edit button, the text does appear, but it will not show on the actual article itself. For instance, the header "Event" will not show on the actual article, but it appears on the editing page. Is there any thing you can do to help me?--Chubdub 13:59, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * There's a problem with the reference tags in that article. They are not all closed. If you look at the specific text that is missing, it appears to be missing from the opening of a reference tag, to the closing of another reference tag much later. Apparently, one of the references is not properly closed with . You might be able to fix it yourself, now that you know what to look for, if not, let me know, and I'll get into it in more detail. --Joann e B 14:12, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
