Emma Watson

Hi, thank you for your contributions. Your edits have been reverted, with the exception of the link to J. K. Rowling, accidentally removed during a previous edit. All other examples already were linked in the page, and repetetive links are not in keeping with Wikipedia style. Also, the original quote, "brightest witch of your age" needs brackets for "[her]" since it was changed for sentence context. Questions? Write me :) RadioKirk talk to me 01:58, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for removing most of my edits on Emma Watson. I was not sure which ones would be repetative, and which ones would not be.

It can be tricky at times, especially in longer articles; I've had to copy+paste into an editor some of the pages I work on so I can check for repeats. Anyway, good catch on the missing Rowling link; the page recently underwent some reorganization and that one got lost. RadioKirk talk to me 02:06, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

"Blanking" your talk page

In case you're not aware, "blanking" one's talk page is a common trick used by vandals to hide their histories (it doesn't work, either—the page history is visible for as long as Wikipedia exists). Please see this link for an explanation. RadioKirk talk to me 19:30, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Fr. John Corapi

(copied form User talk:DESiegel):

Thank you very much for editing the article on Fr. John Corapi. I'm trying to learn how to write aricles in a Neutral PoV better. Tony 23:37, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

You are quite welcome. Please note that the articel should read like a neutral account, not an exceport from hsi own work nor form the work of a fan. Statements of fact should be distinguished from opnions, adn all opnions should be attributed to a specific source, preferably with a reference cited. The articel is still far from the best on wikipedia, but it is significantly better than it was. I wish i could find an outside source on the effect or prominence of Corapi's talks and preaching.

Dukes of Hazzard reverts

Just curious, why are you reverting my "Dukes of Hazzard" edits?

ClintFord 05:30, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Reverts, part II

Actually, I had been working on fixing the broken image when you reverted. I will try again to make the picture visible. Just FYI.

SMBI

Of no interest to me at all, but I noticed the "complete rewrite" on Recent Changes. Really good decision to go in there, scrap the drivel and write a good enough article with just the important stuff. Had to drop you a line to say it had been noticed =) doktorb | words 21:42, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

• Thank you very much for noticing! I saw it on one of the cleanup templates, so I thought, better get to work. =) Tvaughn05 21:43, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Claudio Soto

No prob. The Special:Wantedpages doesn't appear to accurately reflect the actual most "wanted pages". --LeFlyman 01:31, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

• I've removed the "speed delete" template, after I google-searched and found additional publications that reference the researcher. Looks like it should be ok!--LeFlyman

WP: Admin Intervention again Vandalism

Hello Tvaughn05, just wanted to let you know that when you list a vandal on the WP:AIV page, you have to post it at the bottom of the page. You accidentally replaced the example that was under hidden text, which is just there so users know the format, thus, the vandal you reported didn't get listed. I noticed this and have blocked the vandal, so no harm done; this is only a friendly notice for the future. Also, when signing you name, please use four ~~~~, so that a timestamp comes out. This way, administrators can know what time you placed your warning to the vandal compared to his or her last vandalism (so we know if he or she has stopped vandalising). There is a way to add a customized signature so that it comes out when using the four tildes. simply go to "my preferences" and under nickname, enter all the special wiki markup you want to make the signature come out, then press save. Doing this will allow your username, and any other special feature you'd like to add to your sig come out when using the tildes. If you have already done this, then enter four tildes, instead of three so that the timestamp comes out next it. Thanks for reporting the vandal. -- PRueda29 / ^Ptalk29 / ^Pcontribs29 19:09, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

• I apologize, I clicked the add button that was in the instructions. I listed another vandal in the same way!! I'm sorry! Thanks for the tip on the signautre, I just missed a tilde =). I appreciate you letting me know this! Ø tVaughn05 ^talk_contribs 19:11, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

• No problem. Your new vandal has also been blocked, but by another user. -- PRueda29 / ^Ptalk29 / ^Pcontribs29 19:14, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Blanking talk pages

Hi

New to this so please bear with me :) The link you posted implies that it's OK to delete comments from your talk page after you've replied to them, which I've done...

-- 213.208.103.139 23:08, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

• Welcome to Wikipedia! I will leave you a Wikipedia welcome message in a second. (You should create an account!). Although it is Okay to delete comments from your talk page after replying to them, you should keep them, or archive them, because in the case that you are brought before the arbitration committee, they will review your talk page. If you need help here on Wikipedia, feel free to contact me!! Ø tVaughn05 ^talk_contribs 23:12, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Esperanza!

Welcome, Tvaughn05/Archive1, 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!

"RfA"

I noticed. I didn't get to see it but he definately seemed to he high strung. 68.39.174.238 01:46, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Succesful RfA!

Thank you for your support during my RfA! The community has decided to make me an administrator, and there's work to be done. I look forward to seeing you around the project in the future, and if you see me do anything dumb, let me know right away! Regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 23:44, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

About Vandalism

I think you somehow blamed me for putting those messages in the article Great Sphinx of Giza. I want to clearify that I didn't put them there, I simply saw them and thought I should delete them.

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 Wikipedia: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! --Celestianpower ^háblame 16:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Signature

Hi Tvaughn, if you would like to use signatures like mine, you can use my User:Quarl/advanced_sig.js script. One way to use it is to copy parts of User:Quarl/monobook.js to User:Tvaughn05/monobook.js. You need the lines for library functions and the advanced_sig.js line. See also WP:US. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-02-01 11:04Z

Thank you

For your kind support of my Rfa, which passed. If you should ever have any complaints about my admin actions, please let me know. Also, should you ever need my help with anything, please do not hesitate to ask! Thanks again! All the best Banez 17:06, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Who's playing Jesus?

Hi. I doubt very much that the picture you posted at Jesus Christ Superstar shows Ian Gillan. According to the article and what I know of this, Gillan sang on the original album but never appeared in any production. If you carefully read the text at the page you took the picture from, you can see that although one might think the album is the cast album of the musical, it's really the album of the score of the musical. As the article says, this album, the one that topped the charts, was made before the play was ever produced.

I haven't been able to figure out which production your picture is from and who is playing Jesus. —JerryFriedman 21:45, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

RfA Thanks!

Okay, this is perhaps a bit overdue, but thank-you for your support in my recent RfA! I passed with a final vote count consensus of (82/1/0), which was a lot of support that I really appreciate. I'll try to live up to the expectations; and on that note, if there's ever something I do wrong (or don't do right), please spit in my general direction. Cheers! --PeruvianLlama^(spit) 05:31, 4 February 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,

Hi, thanks for your voting on my RFA. It has finished with the result 88/14/9, and I am promoted. I am really overwhelmed with the amount of support I have got. With some of you we have edited many articles as a team, with some I had bitter arguments in the past, some of you I consider to be living legends of Wikipedia and some nicks I in my ignorance never heard before. I love you all and I am really grateful to you.

If you feel I can help you or Wikipedia as a human, as an editor or with my newly acquired cleaning tools, then just ask and I will be happy to assist. If you will feel that I do not live up to your expectation and renegade on my promises, please contact me. Maybe it was not a malice but just ignorance or a short temper.

Hi

Hi, sorry to mess up your new talk page, but if you decide to return to Wikipedia, please get in touch. I promise there are some Wikipedian's who are constantly shifting through the mess that editors come up with because of their faith in the community and value of the site. Hey it looks like you were a member of Esperanza? Anyway. I know you have more life outside of Wikipedia, so I hope all is well, and on the off chance you do choose to return you're full of editing spirit. Best wishes, — CuaHL ☺ 23:18, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
