Thank you for your vote.

Thank you for your support in my successful RfA. I hope I can live up to expectations. - Trevor MacInnis(Talk | Contribs) 00:14, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

The charter is here. (Relating to Esperanza)

Hello Ingoolemo, the Charter for Esperanza is up. Take a looksie :) Redwolf24 (talk) 02:50, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Esperanza made less bureaucratic

Hello again, I have (unilatterly) taken away the 'assembly' idea, as per my reasons at that edit summary and per Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Charter. I have left the admin general, as some leadership is good. Now, all you have to do is be a member to establish consensus, the whole assembly idea is gone. Also, I have added an advisory committee, of four members, with limited power besides watching over the admin general and making sure he doesn't do anything stupid. Please look at the ammended charter, and I would love a comment. Redwolf24 (talk) 00:15, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

The last time I'm spamming you all with Esperanza stuff

Hello Ingoolemo. As you may or may not know, there have been some troubles with Esperanza. So now, as a last ditch to save the community, please vote at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Reform on all neccisary polls. P.S. I'm very sorry for spamming you all with these messages, and this will be the last time. I recommend putting ESP on your watchlist. Cheers and please look at that, let's stop the civil war then.

Re: Interstate maps

Thanks, I'm not quite perfectly happy with them yet, but they will do for now. I did take your encouragement and made another dozen or more for the bigger interstates I had skipped. I have plenty other things to do, with about 400 more red-dot maps of Indiana towns sitting on my computer waiting to be uploaded and pasted on pages, which I have been avoiding. But I am taking other smaller map requests (like that Chicago highways project map on my talk page) to change things up a bit. - Marvin01 | talk 05:13, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

You counted?!

You actually counted the vandalism...? What a mind-numbingly silly thing to do! :) But I appreciate the gesture (and hey I got another one today). Sadly, no one has yet taken me up on the heroic epic offer, perhaps I'll change it. Usually I would have replied faster but I'm on a little break. So, well it's always cool to see someone sign my ever-growing list. Nice to meet you. Have a good day and spread the Wikilove (or whack a vandal). PS, *sob* I thought I had a message when I saw that happy orange box loading at the top of the page. Dmcdevit·t 06:41, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, it should be my user profile. Just that when I clicked my name it made that site, so I went ahead and edited it.

Advisory Committee election deadline set

Our new admin general, Essjay, has set the date for the advisory committee elections, that date being October 7th. By UTC it is October 5th right now. So see WP:ESP/E for voting in two days, and add yourself to the list if you're interested in running. On a personal note, I'm considering running, as I only resigned as admin general because of time. I'm sure I could help out on the advisory committee... Anywho, watchlist that page, and be sure to read the voting method too. Regards, Redwolf24 (talk) 01:09, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Interrupting lists with headers

1. one
2. two

   like this?

3. three

That's using <ol> instead of # # #. I don't think it can be done with wiki markup. — mendel ☎ 00:39, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Aircontent template linebreaks FIXED!

(I think :D). I added

<p style="display:inline;"></p>

to each -no template, which causes the line to be rendered in the previous line. This has, as far as I can tell, fixed any and all line-breaking issues (at least in Safari and Firefox). Might be of use to us in the airtemp, might not, but now you know. ;D ericg ✈ 00:23, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Deleted Neleh Dennis

I was just wondering why the article I created for her was deleted. She was a runner-up in an early season of Survivor, and probably deserves an article more than some contestants who still have them. There might have been a little too much information, but I thought I did a pretty good, accurate job on the article, and she was an important enough player to have one. It had been voted for deletion earlier, but my guess is that the earlier article had far less content.

I hope you'll reconsider this decision and reinstate the article, even if it involves the deletion of some material.

Thank you. If the formal request for undeletion is required, I understand. Please advise, as I worked hard on the article and did my best to make it as accurate as possible.

If there is no article for her, I suggest that other articles for certain Marquesas contestants (like Paschal English) would also be candidates.

I got your message--thanks for the attention. I have looked at all the policies and procedures for undeletion, including the page with submitted candidates. I can't figure out how to make a nomination for undeletion, since there is no add link on the page. I even did something I have been meaning to do for a while and created an account. How do I make a new post/nomination for undeletion? I just couldn't figure out how to add a thread.

The logic for undeletion of this article is very strong. She was a runner-up in a very competitive season and a memorable player. Her loss to a very unpopular winner was controversial. The deletion of the article (not even considering my work, and the fact that it was more professional and better-looking than many existing articles on Survivor contestants), makes her the only Survivor runner-up to not have an article and also the only listed member of the template/table "Survivors who were never voted off" (which appears at the bottom of all of these entries--see Paschal English for example) not to have an article. I'd like to say all of this in a nomination, but I just don't know how to add it. Can you help me? I hope you can see why this deletion doesn't make sense to me in the light of her similarity (and even greater importance in some cases) to contestants who do have articles. I'm sorry to clutter your talk page with this, and I hope you can help me.

Esperanza Spam

Hello Esperanzians! A few announcements.

The Advisory Committee election results are in. In tranch A are Acetic Acid and Flcelloguy. In tranch B are Ryan Norton and Bratsche.

My other annoouncement is that our founder, JCarriker, has founded Esperanza's sister project, Wikipediology. I have written two essays here (my name is Matt Binder). My essays are under Teenage Wikipedians and Anon Editors.

On behalf of myself and Jay Carriker and the other wikipediologists, I would appreciate it if you were to join.

Cheers Esperanza! Redwolf24 (talk—How's my driving?) 23:32, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

You seem to have forgotten to vote yourself, unless that is you who has come up as an anonymous!

Game Economies

Hey, buddy. You know who this is. You asked for the link to the article on game economies and I've got it here. It's a very interesting read, to be sure. Tell me how you like it. Useless Fodder 23:56, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Knowleadge seeker impostor block

Hello,

When there are two or more blocks of different duration, then when the shortest block expires, all blocks are removed. So if you block for a month and then indefinitely, it's only blocked for a month. The cumbersome workaround is to unblock first (which removes all blocks) and then reapply the desired block. -- Curps 14:41, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Ousmanou

Please, do not erase the website of Ousmanou Yakoubou. It is fiction, and I will gladly label it as such. However, it is a story that was made by several of us in our youth when we were back in school in the course of many years. I put it in wikipedia so that other old classmates who might come across it can add to it, since it we had much much more than what I remember or care to write. I'd really appreciate it if you would not delete it, it means a lot to many of us. Thank you, editor of Ousmanou Yakoubou page

Thank you

Thank you very much for the barnstar! Kirill Lokshin 18:55, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Wow, thank you for my barnstar as well. I'm happy to try to keep the place in good order. Looks like you still have a ways to go to beat the 60 vandalisms to my user page, though (which, btw, I remember you counted :). Thanks again! Dmcdevit·t 22:34, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Wikipediology

I'd like to ask those fellows who have not indicated whether or not they grant permission for a wikibio on them to please do so soon. I'd also appreciate it everyone could expand or create the wikibios for which permission has been granted. The wikibio project simply won't be useful unless fellows actively participate; so I'd like to issue a challenge that each fellow contribute at least one sentence to two wikibios. I'll be on wikibreak for the next week and when I get back there will be prizes in store for the fellows who have the three highest edit counts on wikibios. Thanks. -JCarriker 22:44, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
