24.128.201.140

Please ban 24.128.201.140. He has vandalized dice and from his talk page I have seen that you have already given him a 'final warning' Thanks

--Crucible Guardian 22:33, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Hi Bucketsofg, thank you for voting in my RFA which failed eventually at a result of (91/51/8). I do not plan to run for adminship until a later date. Once again, I would like to thank you for voting. --Terence Ong _{(talk | contribs)} 03:31, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Ezra Levant Entry

Things appear to be heating up at the Ezra Levant entry. Somebody from a Calgary, Alberta IP keeps wanting to remove the reference to "stock-a-holic" as well as "The Snack Pack" despite the well documented history of both of these events, moniquers or nicknames by media for Mr.Levants... I would say "antics" over the years, but that would not be NPOV. How bout his "activities" over the years? (is that better?) Just something you may want to keep an eye on Buckets. Thanks. Somena 16:26, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

The revert has been done again, and accusation of vandalism has occured because I thought the interview where Levant declared himself to be a "stock-a-holic" took place on Canada AM. It was on a National TV interview in the morning, I remember, because I actually saw the interview. I have added cites to both the "snackpack" thing, the "stock-a-holic" phrase, as well as the contreversy surrounding Matthew Johnston's role. Johnston was claimed to be a co-founder of the Western Standard according to an old archived page of the Western Standard's own website, screen captured by Grandinite -- which I have linked to... but now is listed as an advertising executive. These are honest mistakes on my part. I have provided cites for everything I have written about Levant. And I have tried to as much as possible to make it as NPOV as possible. The Anon IP from Calgary has gone away, and now a new user (I think it's a new user, named Torporeal, is claiming I am a vandal. Just wanted to give you a rundown on what's happening.

Thank you for your support

Dear Bucketsofg,
Thank you very much for your support on my recent RfA. I am pleased to announce that it passed with a tally of 72/11/1, and I am now an administrator. I'll be taking things slowly at first and getting used to the tools, but please let me know if there are any admin jobs I can do to help you, now or in the future. —Cuiviénen 02:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Grutness has suggested on my talk I move from lp to bp. Any comment? Kahuroa 00:22, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Cheers, great advice, will do. Kahuroa 05:01, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks!

Thanks for voting! Hello Bucketsofg, and thank you so much for voting in my recent RfA. I am pleased to inform you that it passed with a final tally of (119/1/3), into the WP:100, so I have now been cleared for adminship and will soon be soaring above the clouds. I was overjoyed, shocked, and humbled by the tally, and, most importantly, all the support. Thank you. If there is ever anything you need, you know where you can find me. Take care.

German-English translation

Thanks for helping to translate an article listed at Wikipedia:German-English translation requests - it's greatly appreciated, and it would be lovely if you come back and do some more translating. If you do, please move the article listing to the Recently completed translations – proofreading section to make sure it's proofread. Thanks! Saint|swithin 07:41, 21 June 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 Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower ^háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Reverts

It is not nice to revert blindly. It could be even be considered vandalism. I am referring to your disruptive edits about Roman consuls.

Much thanks for your support on my RfA!

		Thanks for contributing to my successful RfA!
		To the people who have supported my request: I appreciate the show of confidence in me and I hope I live up to your expectations! To the people who opposed the request: I'm certainly not ignoring the constructive criticism and advice you've offered. I thank you as well! ♥! ~Kylu (u|t) 07:31, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

You spoke some kind words. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 07:31, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Bourque article

The PDF article is not from the National Post site, and, since the National Post claims copyright and puts its material behind a pay for view wall, Wikipedia has no business linking to what is, essentially, a pirated copy.64.26.148.240 14:30, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

No objection here. I figured it was a content dispute, though, which is why I didn't like the semi-prot idea. Do you think maybe full protection would be better? Make sure you leave it protected as meta:the wrong version.  :) Mangojuice^talk

I do not see the point of semi-protection. Once it is semi-protected the anon user spings to life with as acoount that has a quite the interesting history. Pete Peters 00:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I take it you are famniliar with (a) the standard National Post contract (which I've signed) and (b) Canadian copyright law. I am amazed at the risks the Wikipedia Foundation takes letting people like you make these kinds of decisions.64.26.147.136 19:38, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

User:Misza13's pile!

Thank you for contributing the impressive the pile of supports gathered on my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 0x0104/0x01/0x00. I'm happy that so many people have put faith in my abilities as an admin and promise to use the tools wisely and do my best not to let you down. If I ever may be of assistance, just leave a note on my talk page. Misza13, the rouge-on-demand admin wishes you happy editing!

AE's IP

In AE's statement he claims to have a Sympatico(Bell Canada) account, but he made that claim using a Magma IP[1]Geedubber 18:31, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

I think you forgot to inlcude a link to the latest checkuser request in your statement. Geedubber 03:00, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Your e-mail

I think the answer to your question is "Scroll down." If not, I'm not an admin so I can't see it; you'll have to copy the deleted text into one of my sandboxes, and I'll re-archive it. (Cases from before June are also in the history of the main RFCU page, although it may take some digging to find what you want. I can copy the case from the history if you send me a diff.)

my RfA

Thanks for your support opinion on my RfA. With a final vote of (62/0/1), my RfA passed, and I am now an Administrator. I will work hard to ensure that the tools entrusted to me will not be abused, and will wield my mop proudly.
Happy editing! --Firsfron of Ronchester 23:09, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks from Yanksox

Hey, Bucketsofg, thanks for supporting my RfA, with a tally of 104/4/7... I am now an admin!!! I was and still am very flattered by all the kind comments that I recieved, I will also take into account the comments about how I could improve. I guarantee I will try my best to further assist Wikipedia with the mop. Feel free to drop in and say hi or if you need anything. Again, thank you so much! Yanksox 07:45, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Just a note for your attention, don't you find the editing pattern familiar by this contributor ?

Bog2 [2]Edits [ http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Bog2] IP 70.68.127.172 [3]

May I draw your attention to the fact that this blogger [4]is currently in the Vancouver area, Shaw serves the AB and BC area does it not ?

Just thought you may wish to know about that.

Many thanks for your impressive contribution to the Kinsella RfA. It must have taken you hours to compile the information. Let's hope it makes a difference. HistoryBA 18:31, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

FYI

Dear Bucketsofg: I wanted to let you know that I changed your poem on Michael Snow's user talk page, by adding one word, in case you cared enough to revert. That's all.

Sincerely

Huh?

I am not familiar with the acronym "AN/I" Could you please explain what this means? Thanks. Sarastro777 23:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, that makes sense now! I have something on there, so will just wait.

With many cheerful facts about the ^2 of the hypotenuse,

Sarastro777 23:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

What warnings? Seems these are biased arguments.

BLah blah blah is a warning? ANd others can remove personal info.? I will remove all personal info from that page and any page here.

i did not realize that my username and project name is archived which is linked to my private life and site with personal information that i prefer to keep it separate from wiki. I prefer to redact all personal info. from all posts and create a new user name.

Done. Thanks. I'll email you in a few weeks or so. Why the hell wouldn't an admin. speak to me earlier! anon wait - can all contributions by user with personal site name or projects be deleted or redacted personal info? "If you really want to erase the record of this AfD, you need to talk to an administrator." Can you please remove all reference to my user name, project page and personal page. They all contain reference to my personal life outside of wikipedia referencing my name, home and personal info. , personal projects and the security of me and my family. This is a concern for others here, and for me. Please delete all info related to AfD, username, personal article, and all contributions. Regards

Will get back to you in a few days. Until then, I'm outta here! Cheers

Greetings. Back to remind you of earlier request. Cheers

User:Taeguk Warrior

What additional warnings would you suggest I leave? He seems to have been warned and blocked for vandalism and personal attacks often and recently... your comment said "premature, has not been warned at all"... LactoseTI 04:46, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

User:hooveruj

Please unblock user hooveruj as he is a unique user and was not engaged in sockpuppetry. He is the sole owner and administrator of the uselessjunk network and has vital information on justifying WP:WEB inclusion into wikipedia. The user h00ver was some anonymous imposter. Check the IP addresses. hooveruj edited the entry to improve factual clarity of the entry as he said in the edit "(site owner cleaning up inaccurate information published)". If anyone would like verification that hooveruj is the actual site owner, please feel free to contact him at his whois info with Netsol: sales@swelldeal.com. Please unblock this erroneously blocked user and thank you for your attention to this.Live Dog 05:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

• • • ==Response== Thanks. I'm not affiliated with the site other than being a contributing community member. The site generates enough traffic on it's own without needing wikipedia as an advertiser. There is a history that has developed there that I believe is worthy of encyclopedic cataloging and that is the reason I began the entry. In retrospect, I shouldn't have openly asked for people to edit it for correctness, but should have just made hoover do it and kept it hushed from the membership, at least initially.- Live dog

Ohmy-omega

He removed warnings from his talk page only 1 hour ago. He is also stalking. Please revisit your decision to remove it from the list. I think you may have gone to the wrong page. here is his talk page.--Tbeatty 23:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Help

Please help myself and User:Omicronpersei8 with User:70.48.251.229, i.e. please block for vandalism.Iamheredude 02:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thanks so much for voting, Bucketsofg! Thanks so much for your support vote on my request for adminship! With a final vote count of (82/5/0), it succeeded, and I'm now an administrator! I am thrilled with the overwhelming positive support from the community, and sincerely thank you once again for taking your time to voice your opinion. Feel free to contact me with any comments/suggestions in the future! —Mets501 (talk) 03:46, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Lloyd Pye

Hi - thanks for putting semi-protection on the much-vandalised Lloyd Pye article! Unfortunately it's been subsequently removed by the registered user:luluamelu, who I suspected of being the cause of the sockpuppet vandalism - and again vandalised. What's your advice? Cheers --JonAyling 17:29, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

WP:AIV

Can we remove those 7 IP adresses and the discussion from WP:AIV now? Are they safely reported somewhere else? —Mets501 (talk) 22:30, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential! What's New? In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs. To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed! The In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, Freakofnurture, and Titoxd 05:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

Let's Make A Deal

You ... leave. I ... stay.

Everyone wins.
