User talk:Zeerus

on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! PS: There you go, I'd usually use my bigger one, but I'm afraid it will screw up your layout. :) +Hexagon1 (t) 09:39, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Nice user page & invitation
Hello, I love your main user page, it looks great! Since you obviously have some skills with CSS, might I encourage you to visit the Template standardisation proposal and possibly submit your own design? Thanks! Talrias (t | e | c) 19:03, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * The grey menu at the top was actually an adaption from another user's page, but I changed it around to make it work better and conform to standards. I am experienced with CSS though, and I would be happy to submit it and any other things I can make. by the way, are you a sysop? --Zeerus 19:23, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)


 * No. :) A list of admins is at Special:Listadmins. Talrias (t | e | c) 19:52, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Oh, okay. I had seen your threat to ban a IP user, so I thought you were one. Anyway, you might want to read the message I put on your talk page about the open source forum project. I'd love to help. --Zeerus 19:57, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)


 * I attempted to send you an email through Wikipedia (see the E-mail this user link in the toolbox). Mine definitely works, so if you don't get my email, please send me one. Talrias (t | e | c) 20:03, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

RFA
Hi, Zeerus, and welcome. Beautiful user page, by the way. I just saw your RFA for Minghong, and I wanted to remind you to sign your nomination. Also, might I suggest that you not include an external link in your signature? It's up to you, of course, but signatures are mainly to identify you and provide access to relevant Wikipedia areas (and to give you a bit of individuality)&mdash;some people may object to promoting external sites in your signature. You are free, of course, to link to them from your user page. &mdash; Knowledge Seeker দ 20:29, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the tips. I changed around my signature completely. By the way, Texttonic is the name of my new blog I am currently designing. I think my sig looks nicer now anyway. And yeah, I signed my nomination. I had forgotten to click the little signature button up top, which is surprising, because I'm always messing around with it. --texttonic 13:06, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

Barnstar
Thanks :). Oh, and welcome!


 * you're welcome. I hope Coffee Roll wins. It looks that way so far. I'm currently having a laugh reading about the Wikipedia is Communism vandal. You sure do have a lot of enemies. I would think people would just give up. Why continue vandalizing, it's just a waste of time. Anyway, good luck with that too. texttonic 14:53, Apr 29, 2005 (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 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/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 April, 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!

TMI & BAM
Hi Kevin, thanks for the note. Someone else had already written that bit about Bam at TMI, but had put it up in the top section. I felt it was too tangential for such prominence, and so started the "Popular culture" section. TMI has caused a lot of American cultural references, so I don't doubt that more items may begin to fill that section. Kevin Forsyth 17:14, 28 March 2006 (UTC)


 * somebody wrote it before me? As far as I was aware I was the first person to add that note about the Bam episode. anyway, thanks for straightening it all out. --Z ee rus (ETC) 17:18, 28 March 2006 (UTC)


 * as it seems, User:Fastfission has removed the entire Popular Culture section. I have brought this up on his talk page, if you'd like to join in on the discussion --Z ee rus (ETC) 17:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Major events and places are of course featured in many, many instances of "popular culture". Think of how long the section would be for Three Mile Island if every instance of it being mentioned in a television show or movie was compiled -- it would be longer than the description of the accident itself. As such, I think that the only things which should be included in a "popular culture" section are things which really do enhance your understanding of the article itself. I looked into that episode reference and it didn't seem to meet that qualification at all. An example of popular culture enhancing your understanding of a main article is the article nuclear weapons in popular culture -- the general trends and appearances of nuclear weapons in popular culture have gone a long way in shaping and reflecting attitudes towards nuclear weapons. The appearance of the reactor in one episode of a reality show does not seem to do that -- at best it reflects in a very minor way that some people are still apprehensive about the reactor, which is not very much.
 * I understand that people feel differently about this, though, but my goal here is to have a useful and respectable encyclopedia. I don't think adding the MTV reference enchances the TMI article. Obviously the page on the MTV show should have a link back to TMI -- so that a reader who wants to know why they were on that island can find out what it means, if they don't know -- but I don't see any reason to have TMI making a link back to the show. So if you can come up with a good justification -- I don't think the mere inclusion of the island in an episode is noteworthy enough -- then I'll be all ears. As for whether the section should "grow" -- I'm happy to have a "in popular culture" section that is full of noteworthy references, but this one is not, in my opinion, one of them. Hope that clears things up about why I removed it; I'm happy to talk about this further. --Fastfission 17:36, 28 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your response, I now understand exactly why you removed it, and I do agree now that the minor inclusion of the island in that particular episode is not extremely significant. Up until the time that episode had aired, however, I had never heard of Three Mile Island, and upon seeing it on the main page today I said "oh, that's that island from Viva La Bam". In my eyes this was significant, as it's a pretty popular show, but I'll gladly leave it out now that I've heard your opinion. Thanks for discussiong this in a calm manner, your diligence in handling this situation is much appreciated. --Z ee rus (ETC) 17:43, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: User Page Design
Hey, thanks Zeerus! I'd be more than happy to help out with your user page design. Is there anything more specific you'd like (color scheme, font, etc.)? Nice meeting you. :) Regards,  Sango 123   (e)  04:43, 30 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Done. Please let me know if you'd like anything changed. Thanks,  Sango 123   (e)  19:09, 30 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm glad you like the design! Your navpopups are now gone, and I've deleted User:Zeerus/popups.js. Enjoy the other goodies. :) Regards,  Sango 123   (e)  20:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I've allowed edit links for individual sections and implemented a new talk page design to match your user page. Just one thing: it's completely up to you, but I'd be deeply grateful if you gave a bit of credit for the design somewhere. Thanks! And no, you haven't been bothersome at all. :) Regards,  Sango  123   (e)  11:43, 5 April 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)

Re the whole de-bureaucrating thing
Hi, I never came to thank you for the message you left for me a month ago when I stepped down from being a bureaucrat. Thank you for the things you said, it's good to know there are still plenty of good people about in this project. I do not see myself standing for bureaucrat again anytime soon though who knows what the future may bring! Thank you once again. -- Fr a ncs2000 09:39, 29 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)
