User page vandalism

I write to thank you very kindly for having reverted a good deal of vandalism to my user page last week; I ought to have written sooner but have been editing only cursorily the past few days in view of my having been collaterally affected by several rangeblocks. The perils of one's having a dynamic IP, I suppose. In any case, many thanks... :) Joe 02:55, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

A photo of yourself

You've given us

File:Gocard-0304.jpg

This

- we need a more recent photo by the way, and a userpage photo. Oh, and should we start a Wikipedia who gets traded on our "great" (according to Nonis) team that didn't even make the playoffs :) -- Tawker 06:50, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

The GoCards basically look the same, no need for new photo. One more pressing issue, how can you in good faith support the Ducks (over the Canucks!!!)!!!! Your Canucks jersey looks so much better :) -- Tawker 07:45, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

LOL, I know, getting rid of Burke was the worst decision Orca Bay ever made. Oh well, there is always next year, and why not, the Ducks are sure a lot better than the Leafs - how is UBC treating you anyways, surviving the good ole finals :) :)

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. --Celestianpower ^háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Your user page

No problem, Buchanan-Hermit. I've also reported him/her/it to the vandalism IRC channel, but so far nobody's taken notice. Oh well. Cheers, Tangotango 08:03, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Reminder

Hi, Buchanan-Hermit: thanks for your reminder re stubs on my talk page. Actually, I only created a couple of new articles and only added stubs to a handful; but I was remiss in basically copying and pasting from the header/footer matter in other articles. Certainly I'm not so Vancouver-centric as to equate Port Moody, Richmond, etc. with Vancouver...as time permits, I'll review the SkyTrain etc. articles and make sure the category and stub tags are correct. -Sewing - talk 18:31, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for reverting the vandalism to the Sixteen Feet page. You're an asset to the community. Birge 03:47, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

May the Force be with you

Dear Buchanan-Hermit/Archive 5,

Thanks for voting on my RFA! I appreciate your faith in me, and was overwhelmed by the positive response to my RFA; for it shows that at least I'm doing something right. :) I've started working to improve myself already, and I hope that next time, things run better, and maybe, just maybe, one day we can bask on the shores of Admintopia together. Thanks and cheers, _-M o P-_ 21:54, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

More Photos

Hi there Buchanan-Hermit. Can we talk? I'd like to start adding some more Vancouver photos. Here's a start Art Gallery images. jmv 07:18, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Dear Buchanan-Hermit,

Thank-You for havin made your userpage te way it is It is easy to use and, well, I have used the same encoding for my own userpage. Thanks to this, I have managed to fix up my earlier UserPage problems. I say it again thanks for having created this userpage as it is.

Cheers, JP 18:02, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you!

Hello, Buchanan-Hermit/Archive 5, and thank you for vote on my recent RfA! With a final vote of 62/2/4, I have now been entrusted with the mop, bucket and keys. As I acclimate myself to my new tools, feel free to let me know how you believe I might be able to use them to help the project. Thanks again! RadioKirk talk to me 05:36, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

Administrator Coaching The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service. This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. Stressbusters The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome! Note from the editor As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!

The last AC meeting (full log) Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon. Signed...

Algonquin College

If you have a sec, I could use someone to revert the stuff the anon user we both encountered did at that article, since I'm at my 3RR limit. Thanks. Ardenn 07:15, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
