This is the talk archive for January 2006 for me, ➨ ❝ R E  DVERS ❞. If you post here, I won't see it and I won't reply. So don't post here. It saves everyone time. You can post here instead and that will make more sense. Thanks ➨ ❝ R E  DVERS ❞ 11:57, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar
I am having trouble telling who it was who did the rewrite of the RFC on Kelly Martin on Deleting stuff without consensus. If it was you, you deserve a Superhero Editor Barnstar for translating the anger and frustration into the different cogent view points. But perhaps after userboxes and templates are resolved, barnstars could also become a controversy, unless I am misunderstanding some of the nuances. User:AlMac|(talk) 18:09, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza welcoming...
Use {{subst:EA-welcome}} :D. If you need anything else,don't hesitate to holler! --Cel e stianpower háblame 22:22, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I would like your vote
Hello, I linked to your page because I saw you voted in favor of keeping the body part slang articles. I think the deletion of those articles was a poor decision. I recently authored an article entitled Taint and it is up for deletion. I feel that certain people feel that unfamiliarity with a term invalidates the term. If you could find the time I would greatly appreciate you reading the article and then voicing your opinion.--Cenestrad 06:00, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

What can I say? I'm really astonished by the barnstar I received from you. I must admit it came in the right moment, the very day I almost decided to quit wikipedia. Thanks, it's really a comforting thought to know that even the minor expansions do not come unnoticed. Halibutt 01:06, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza
Thank you for the welcome to Esperanza, Redvers! It seems almost impossible to break into the community around here, so I really appreciate your post. Can I ask what the status of Esperanza is? It seems a little dormant; I've posted a few things and not seen any activity on the pages... --Aaron 17:17, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Eurotunnel
When I said "less detailed" in the Channel Tunnel article, I meant to say "less detailed than the picture of the UK terminal". So, there was no picture of the French terminal yet.

I know I made a mistake with my first edit: I went to Google Maps for the picture of the UK terminal, navigated to the French terminal, and copied the URL. However, the URL does not change when you navigate on google maps, so the two links where identical. I noticed this immediately and changed my first edit.

So both your remarks are not valid anymore... I didn't revert your changes yet, because I want you to see that this is correct. You can dan revert your changes yourself. Thanks for reviewing my changes though. Michaël 22:40, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza welcome
Hi! Thanks for the prompt welcome to Esperanza. I just made my 900th edit and i thought it was worth joining Esperanza to help out with the Wikipedia Community. Werdna648T/C\@ 13:01, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

New User!

 * 2) ) What Barnstar Awards are, and where you can award/receive them and why?
 * 3) ) What Esperanza is and other groups, how/when/why should i join etc...
 * 4) ) How you can make people alert as to what languages you read/write in etc...

Thanks very much, in advance, for your help...

Thanks for your reply!
Thanks for your reply to me, your info is grately appreciated!

Just one quick question: How do people tell how many articles i have edited, or how long i've been signed up? Also, where can i get to the page where i can sign up for different groups?

Thanks, again, for all your help!

Re : Barnstar
Hi Redvers,

Thank you for the barnstar! That was greatly appreciated. =D

One more thing...
Hi Redvers (again),

Sorry to keep bothering you! When I upload an image from the internet to Wikipedia, well, is this allowed? If 'Yes', what copyright 'template' do i need to assign to the image.

Secondly, if i create the image myself, what copyright 'templates' do i need to assign?

I'm really referring to the content on this page.

Lastly, can i just confirm: can I award Barnstar Prizes quite freely, or do they have to be for a very, very good reason?

Cheers, and thanks for all your help:

Tom 21:32, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Kindly Explain Yourself
Hi there. Might I ask why you are not an admin? Would you like to be one? Would you like me to nominate you, or would you rather somebody else did? Cheers  Ban  e  z  17:26, 24 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Great, you seem to be ready, you have done much for wikipedia. I think you could do with the mop and deserve it. How does Monday the 6th of Feb sound to you? I'm planning to make another nom then so I'd like to have them on the same day. Or would you rather I did it another time? Cheers  Ban  e  z  20:26, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

My first (and most) significant edit...
Hi redvers,

Just wondering whether you could check the article i've added to, and thus, getting rid of it's Stub Status?

It's the article on denotation.

Cheers,

Tom 18:16, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for proof reading the article on denotation and i can see where you've edited the Wiki Markup, i realise the importance of this: to create a standardised markup which people are familiar with.

Once again, thanks very much!

Thanks for answering Tom's questions about Wikipedia. He asked me the same questions the other day. --LBMixPro&lt;Sp e ak 21:10, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know how good it feels to say something completely different than "Please quit, I'll block you!". But this guy looks like a good contriuter. He's interested in the community, even before he got to work. Hopefully he'll make is way to Esperanza when it's his time. --LBMixPro&lt;Sp e ak 04:42, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza!
Hi Redvers,

I've been doing some long research and reading into Esperanza, the community you are a member of that help fellow wikipedians, i was wondering (in a few months, of course) how it would be possible to join... as i think helping people is a major key to the success of Wikipedia. I'v noticed the entry requirement need 150 edits, however, i will not rush any article editing just to get into Esperanza, i wish to wait until my articles are all of a great degree of accuracy.

I would like to know the purpose of Election with Esperanza, and also, how a user can contact a member of Esperanza in privacy?

Thanks, once more, for your time, and i eagerly await a reply.

Tom

Re: Refactoring


Hey, Redvers, and thanks for the Barnstar! It's not too late to do a dual-nom for Banes. :) And I'll stick with using my powers for good and not evil; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to support your upcoming RfA. ;) Cheers, Sango  123   (talk)  00:37, 25 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Please do implement it! The colors of your version are so much lovelier, and I'm honored that you decided to base it off my layout. :) Regards, Sango  123   (talk)  20:15, 26 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey, did this rhyme? ;) Your new user page looks so nice, although I'd advise not to view it using Internet Explorer. :) Cheers, Sango  123   (talk)  20:45, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

New Article
Hi redvers,

I'm wanting to create a range of new articles about the poems in the GCSE English Language Anthology, to give GCSE students advice/information into analysing the poetry- i do not know, however, what category to place the poetry in?

Because i'm creating a range of article would you advise creating a new sub-category within 'Poetry' called 'GCSE Anthology Poetry'?

If so, how can this be done?

Thanks! Tom

Nice and shiny star
Thanks for the barnstar!!!!!--Adam (talk) 01:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikiprojects
Hey there! I noticed that you said on your User Page that you are interested in British TV. I was wondering if you were interested in either WikiProject British TV channels or WikiProject British TV shows which aim to co-ordinate articles on British TV.

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)
