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) 03:51, 13 August 2006 (UTC) WP:PAIN Last time I reported a personal attack there, it sat there for 3 days until someone said "They haven't made any recently" and removed it.--Crossmr 16:17, 13 August 2006 (UTC) haha! Shreshth91 awards Andy with this old man, because of his remarkably old-school style. --May the Force be with you!

This IP is one of the ones for Adam Internet (I've marked the talk page) and blocks to Adam usually have some collatoral damage against user's in Adelaide. I can get around this using the secure wikipedia links but it is slow and turns VP and AWB into boatanchors. Thanks in advance - Peripitus (Talk) 10:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC) Done. I apologize for any inconvinience caused. --Nearly Headless Nick 10:41, 14 August 2006 (UTC) Thanks for the quick response. Wonderful username by the way - Peripitus (Talk) 10:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC) Thank you. I get that all the time. --Nearly Headless Nick 10:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC) Your edition is surprised me Hi, Whould you please tell me why you reverted all of my editions even what about municipality!!!--Sa.vakilian 11:29, 14 August 2006 (UTC) Er, which edits are you talking about? Could you produce diffs? --Nearly Headless Nick 11:31, 14 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. Article on terrorism You may find the article Terrorists of Pakistani origin interesting. It may be deleted soon in perhaps a few hours. If you have any views on having such articles on Wikipedia, please do share them at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Terrorists_of_Pakistani_origin --Robcotton 16:00, 15 August 2006 (UTC) Question - Protecting a page Is there any way to allow only registered users to edit a page so that any random person cannot edit and mess with it? (Aneesha 09:51, 16 August 2006 (UTC)) Yes, there is. Only administrators have that function of semi-protecting or fully protecting a page so that only registered users or administrators can edit a page. Is there any way I can help? --Nearly Headless Nick 09:56, 16 August 2006 (UTC) Weird! Hi. I was aware that you are online as I saw your edits few moments before. I am gald to see you so active. Perhpas the "contents" of my user [age may also look weird. And, I do not know to set the things in order - I mean the look of the page through Fir Fox. I am also not very active except up-dating stubs created by me in view of Wales to upgrade quality of Wiki. --Bhadani 09:57, 16 August 2006 (UTC) hey thanks so much for unbanning me! this means so much to me! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Taylorhewitt (talk • contribs) . \o/ --Nearly Headless Nick 08:57, 18 August 2006 (UTC) Brian Mandelbaum He really does frequent IRC, etc under the alias 'jcap'... I can find logs if needed, but just because he's become famous, he shouldn't be running around editing his own page to cover his past. Isn't editing your own page against the rules, anyways? --Jobeus 15:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC) Yes, editing one's own page on Wikipedia is against WP:AUTO. --Nearly Headless Nick 08:46, 18 August 2006 (UTC) IRC Hi Andy, wish I could, but it eats too much of my time. It's already silly that I update DYK between patients in my clinic :) -- Samir धर्म 10:43, 18 August 2006 (UTC) zOMG! We've got a rouge physician! I am not asking you to talk in the channel, just be there, we can need you anytime, y'know. --Nearly Headless Nick 10:46, 18 August 2006 (UTC) Don't think I can IRC from work though... Agree that I need to check in more from an off-wiki sense though (rbtl). E-mail is connected to BlackBerry for urgent issues. Cheers -- Samir धर्म 10:50, 18 August 2006 (UTC) Not for now I have been recalled and voluntarily resigned to stand for a re-RfA on or about October 7th. - CrazyRussian talk/email 11:02, 18 August 2006 (UTC) Thank you. I appreciate your support. - CrazyRussian talk/email 11:04, 18 August 2006 (UTC) Where are you? Where have you been over the past few days? Haven't seen you around. Please tell me as soon as you can; either through e-mail, or on my talk page. --May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| ŗ 3 $ |-| ţ |-|) 11:16, 21 August 2006 (UTC) I have been keeping very very busy. --Nearly Headless Nick 06:20, 22 August 2006 (UTC) Unblocking I didn't necessarily object to the unblocking of MatthewFenton since he had apologised and it was a one-off thing (had I been around I'd probably have done it myself), but I do object to your characterisation of it as "clearly unwarranting a block". He tried to prod, then AfD, the featured article while it was on the main page, at a time when it was likely receiving many hits a minute. We trust in our editors to use at least some common sense and not to do Really Stupid Things, and frankly, when it comes to doing Really Stupid Things, that was pretty high on the list. If this is the sort of thing that warrants an instant unblock from you, then I suspect my opposition to your RfA was highly warranted. Rebecca 08:19, 22 August 2006 (UTC) Blocks are preventive and not punitive measures that administrators use against other editors. Though I agree that MatthewFenton's edits bordered upon being disruptive, I suppose a warning prior to the block would have been in order. I also happened to have a talk with Matthew over IRC, where most of the editors (if I must say) agreed upon giving him another chance. Blocks like these would do no better than scare away geniune editors who are interested in taking this project further. I assumed good faith in his case. Best wishes. --Nearly Headless Nick 12:46, 22 August 2006 (UTC) Gandhinagar Nah, I bet i'll be seeing you in Auckland or Sydney at a fancy law office before then. :-) Karmafist 18:04, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
