Thanks! Re Peppercorn entry

I was more than slightly puzzled at the deletion of my article and yes I would love your help in re writing it - I shall get on to that tonight if my computer allows! (Having computer problems!) Still getting to grips with the whole Wikipedia thing though! Cosy jo 17:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jobs of Admins

Hi..I had posted a message before trying to contact an Admin to find out more information for my english paper. I have some questions and if you would be willing to answer them they would help me alot for my paper.

1. What are your jobs as an Admin? 2. Do you get any pay for the time you put into Wikipedia? 3. How often/ how many hours do you spend on Wikipedia editing? 4. How many admins are their in the English Wikipedia? 5. What makes you want to contribute to Wikipedia?

Thank you for your help 129.89.207.244 18:14, 24 October 2007 (UTC)English Student[reply]

I want to start by saying that all contributors are volunteers at Wikipedia. Everyone, from the person who makes a single spelling correction to administrators, bureaucrats, and arbitration committee members. There are various tasks that administrators are trusted to perform, but they’re all volunteers, so they are not bound to do them regularly or even at all. The status of administrator is given to users who can be trusted not to misuse the tools that are necessary to keep the encyclopedia running, but there’s no requirement to use them. The tasks that administrators can perform include deleting pages, blocking users, protecting pages, and undoing any of those actions as necessary. These are all tasks that provide an opportunity for abuse, which is why only trusted users are given the ability to perform them. Users are confirmed for administrator status at requests for adminship. Most tasks that administrators perform relate to behind-the-scenes janitorial work that most readers and visitors to Wikipedia will never notice. Administrators evaluate consensus in discussions, such as at articles for deletion, but they are not mediators responsible for handling user disputes. When evaluating discussions, they are expected to assess the community’s arguments, not make their own judgment on the issue at hand. Some very specific types of deletion are permitted without consensus, and these are defined by the criteria for speedy deletion. In the end, administrators are simply regular Wikipedians who help the project run smoothly.
As stated before, Wikipedians are volunteers, so no one receives compensation for work contributed to Wikipedia. This includes those with permission to perform administrative tasks.
Personally, I am active just about every day of the week, though slightly less active on the weekends. I spend several hours a day at Wikipedia, and this includes time spent reading articles. I’ve made 8570 edits since late December 2006, which comes out to about 28.3 edits per day.
As of October 24, 2007, there are 1360 users with administrator rights with 10 being evaluated for administrator status at Requests for adminship.
I started contributing because I liked reading Wikipedia articles and I got interested in how they were written. While delving into the contribution process I read a lot of policy pages and learned a lot about the internal mechanisms at Wikipedia. My first edit was to a deletion discussion, which is a little rare I suppose; most users start as content contributors. I have started some articles, as you can see on my user page, but my main focus has typically been preventing vandalism to existing articles and having administrator tools makes that task easier. I learn a lot by reading Wikipedia, so spending time keeping it vandalism free fits hand-in-hand with that. Leebo ^T/C 18:56, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again re: Peppercorn

I am actually fairly happy with the bulk of the write up - I think its okay??? Apart from additional info I am gathering that I will add which will be minor edits.

You mentioned that you could help me format it. In between my computer going wonky I have been trying to work out how I should add those references and others you found. Should they be links next to the note saying 'citation here' of at the bottom with general links?

Also could not find the tool to put the picture box to the upper right that I have seen on other pages. Is it me or is there alot of info to take on board at first??!!Cosy jo 03:39, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:User:Deadriene

My username used to be Deadriene16 before I change it to Deadriene. [1] Then I changed it from Deadriene to Poison the Well. [2] Is there anyway you can change my userpage name To Poison the Well? I tried to move it but it didn't work. Thanks.†Poison the Well† 14:52, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Buick supercharged 3.6 V-6 motor

I have been told that one can operate the Supercharged version of the 3.8 Buick V-6 without the supercharger, but I'm trying to clarify whether that means simply removing the accessories (fan) belt and installing the smaller normally aspirated motor's shorter belt to bypass the supercharger, or if the entire supercharger must be removed which would mean replacing the intake manifold as well with a traditional (plastic) intake. I really would prefer the simpler solution, for both the durability of the iron intake vs. a plactic one (associated with overheating leaks etc.), and with the better fuel economy of bypassing the supercharger, if you know then please respond. Also, I just want to be sure that if I bypass the supercharger, that I will not be harming the motor. I understand that the motor will make less power, about 20 or so less horsepower, but my main concern is increasing the economy and durability & longevity of the motor.JoJoDynamo 19:00, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
