Natalya is having A Grand Day Out, and should be back around Wednesday.

Thanks!

Thanks for that comment! It really showed me that my decision was right. :D --Sakura Avalon 01:40, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for unblocking me, I believe the use of the ip is the issue, not wikipedia. -Theblackbay 06:21, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation page creation

Yes, thanks VERY MUCH for your efforts. I think I get it now. I don't know if introductory info to Wiki-editing could be clearer or that the problem is I'm the kinda guy that starts fooling with stuff before reading the instruction manual. What I could not get was THE VERY BASIC step of how to create something from scratch, but I guess the way it is done is the counter-intuitive step to search for an article that doesn't exist and start with the blank page Wikipedia page presents you with, (which looks like an error), type it up, (and/or copy over from existing), save it and then rename everything. I'm a little nervous about doing it but when I'm rested and ambitious I'll try and get this done. Thanks again and take care. Best, truthdowser 04:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where the mop is.

Yep, should I feel the need to use it again someday, I'll be sure to take it out of the cupboard and get to work again. :) -- Bane s 07:06, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Happy things

Hi Natalya, I'm so sorry that I haven't got back to you sooner, especially after that smiling crater cheered me up so much ;)

As you may have notied, even though I'm offically back, my editing has been kind of sparse, but there are a few things that I really wanted to say before I have to get back to real life work:

Thanks so much for all your support. It was a difficult time, but you helped a lot. You certainly have, in your words, returned the favour. Also, I think that Esperanza's in a really good place right now, and we're getting a lot of work done, work that Esperanza is perfect for. The talk page and the governence talk pages are also working out very well. I wonder if this has anything to do with a certain admin gen....? ;)

I hope to talk to you again soon. Take care. Th ε Halo ^Θ 23:50, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You!

Esperanza Barnstar

In recognition of your continuing efforts to promote Wikilove and the principles of Esperanza, I, Ed, hereby award the Esperanza Barnstar to you, Natalya, for making my day while I was stressed. I am very confident in whatever you do. Ed^{talk c E} 19:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your advice really helped! Now that I think about it, my day at high school wasn't that bad today. --Ed^{talk c E} 19:52, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected Missing User

I think Hildanknight might have left us! He didn't reply to a message I left him, and his contribs show his last edit 2 days ago. In addition, his last edit summary doesn't look too good.....--Ed^{talk c E} 20:42, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you look at Talk:RuneScape#Vandals, that is definitely something Hildaknight would respond too with a reply.--Ed^{talk c E} 20:44, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

re: wikibreak

Hi Natalya, thank you for your kind words regarding my wikibreak. I'm sorry to say that I'll still be on break due to health reasons, but at least I'm not as stressed out as earlier. Again, thanks. --Tachikom a 23:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but "unstressed" is an overstatement. Generally speaking, I think I do an OK job handling concerns about my health...sorta used to it. On the other hand, stresses stemming from work, relationships and such...not so much. --Tachikom a 23:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adding interwiki links

Greetings. You added [[vi:Tiêu bản:Cc-sa]] to Template:Cc-sa, but there's a problem. When you add interwiki links like that to a template, the link gets copied onto every page that includes that template. So an article without a Vietname version will still show a link to a Vietnamese version, if that article includes the template. I fixed it by putting the link inside the <noinclude></noinclude> tags, but I'm letting you know for future reference. All the best, – Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 20:32, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look!

How does this look? User:Aeon1006/Sandbox The page is basicly done all it needs is the updated content. Æon ^{Insane Ward} 01:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not a prob. Must have missed a few links was really tired when I finshed this up (After a Navy Physical Fiteness test) so I will fix them tomarrow. Æon ^{Insane Ward} 04:22, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes I was going ot ask for more Esperana like images lol (Most of those are place holders (well except the Rotating Barn star and the User page star). Æon ^{Insane Ward} 04:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Son of a Peach requesting unblock

Hi Natalya,

Son of a Peach is requesting an unblock on his talk page. I took a look at his recent edits and while some might be questionable, they don't seem to be disruptive at this time. I note that he's been blocked before, but his recent activities seem much less disruptive. His edit summaries could use some cleaning up and he was warned for closing an MfD on his own user page, but do these recent activities warrant an immediate a week long block? I don't think so, but I wonder if you could shed some light on this. Thanks, Deathphoenix ʕ 15:59, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's up to you. I was thinking that a week is too long, but I think you're right about one thing: this shows him clearly that his behaviour is unacceptable. If I unblock him now, he'll still think his behaviour is fine. --Deathphoenix ʕ 03:44, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. If he keeps up his behaviour, then an extended block is, of course, quite warranted. :-) --Deathphoenix ʕ 00:04, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New members

Natalya, I've finally been able to write a script to generate a list of new Esperanza members. A test output can be seen here. The bot could be set to automatically run every 3 or 4 days, with welcomers watchlisting the list so that any new members can be welcomed. One problem is that if someone goes unwelcomed until the next update, they will not appear on the list again and may miss the chance to get welcomed. We might need to work around that. Cheers, Tangot a ngo 05:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's right, it's a list of members added since the last time the bot ran. (Set to 26 July for the test) If it seems okay, I'll post a request at WP:BRFA and we'll be good to go :) - Tangot a ngo 16:07, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Son of a Peach

I would just like to motion here my feelings over the blocking of User:Son of a Peach. Rather than shortening his/her block, I feel it should be extended, maybe indefinitely. The user is purposely interruptive, uncivil, and generally not an asset to Wikipedia. Aside from this user's frivolous additions to the Shit article, their userpage has constantly had to be reverted by other users, and he/she has a tendency to crudely belittle others on their own talk pages. Please take a moment to look over what contributions this user has offered to the community. Also, just to clarify, I for one am against the unblocking of this User, and I find his excuse ("My last edits appear to be my cleanup of the article Shit (not vandalism).") repulsive.

Comments and questions

Hello, Natalya!! I would just like to tell you that you are doing a great job as the Admin Gen of Esperanza. You are always so perky. Between you and Pheadriel, you two are some of the nicest Wikipedians I know. I also want to ask you how soon we can get the Esperanza test page on Æon's Sandbox to the actual Esperanza page. I love it the way it is, and I think that the current one desperately needs replacing. Thank you for your time and have a nice day.--Chili14 03:03, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm back!

*sees Link coming for me!*

Well that really lasted. ;)I should be back more or less normally now, the homework I have left is involving typing so I may finally try and get Charizard up to FA. (I'm not rushing things, but I'll try :) I've been at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, all week, which is tiring when it's running at the other side of the country. I'm away tomorrow with a group, and the bus is leaving ridiculously early. -_- The bus is leaving in 7 hours.

I need to go and pretend to sleep.

Good to be back, Germany was... I'm not even going there. Cheers, Highway ^{Return to Oz...} 22:55, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strive

Hi Natalya! Yes, the Strive campagin is going well, and I've met some really positive feedback, it is good to let others know that their contributions are not going unnoticed. Due to your regards about it being an Esperanza program, I would like it to be, but I would hate to have acess to it restriced to only Esperanzians - or people to even think this. I do want to get as much awareness as possible without being a nusance or annoying people. I will take it to the talk page, and thanks for you suggestion. Thanks again, Dfrg.msc File:DFRG.
