Featured article for December 25th

I noticed that you have listed yourself as an atheist Wikipedian. You will probably be interested to know that Brian0918 has nominated Omnipotence paradox as the front page article for December 25th. You can vote on this matter here. The other suggestion being supported by others for that date is Christmas, although Raul654 has historically been against featuring articles on the same day as their anniversary/holiday.

Michaellovesnyc 13:20, 26 May 2006 (UTC) michaellovesnyc - I edited that section about the men because somebody edited it after I was the one that put it in there. That is my research and quote that somebody distorted and I am correcting it.

I thought taking demographics out would resolve the issue. What is wrong with trying to resolve the issue.

Who cares if men are older; you are sexist, racist and ageist; it is inappropriate. Why don't you join the KKK.

Gays have nothing to do with mail order brides; who cares what gay paople do? Someone looking up mail order brides has no interest in gays.

I am trying to compromise; I took out the how to prevent fraud, and I merged the demographics; but you refuse to compromise one bit

Michaellovesnyc

Hi Grace, I think you should add the comments that you put on my user page to the mediator page. It adds weight to the case that he should be banned, both by name and IP address. People like him ruin Wikipedia for everyone else, even more so than casual vandals. Gavin 16:57, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Michaellovesnyc 01:12, 1 June 2006 (UTC) michaellovesnyc - I have submitted this for mediation; Please sign or I will elevate this to the next level

"Please mediate the "Mail Order Bride" article. I have attempted to make this article factual and based on accurate information and sources. Some people including a "Famous Movie Director" has used this article to make political viewpoints. Some of the things she has done: Deleted 1) sections where I include the male-female ratios of countries with sources such as the CIA Factbook and a number of scholarly articles that discuss migration of people to find mates, The origin of the word mail order bride is deemed offensive by her, she insists on including antecdotal cases of abuse and deletes statistical facts that show actual abuse, she deleted sections on how some mail order brides commit marriage fraud, she insists on discussing "gay mail order brides" depsite there being none and having nothing to do with the article, and so on ... Please help resolve this. I will be happy to present my article for review and you can look and hers to decide who has less of a POV. This has been going on for months. We tried a poll, I tried discussing, compromising, etc... She has her one way of seeing the world and that is it; no one else's viewpoint is allowed. She has made many threats towards me and others. I have included everyone's viewpoints even if I disagreed as long as it was related to the article. Thank you. Michaellovesnyc 01:07, 1 June 2006 (UTC) michaellovesnyc"

I have reviewed your case for RfC and will be keeping tabs on the situation. -- ^Evanx(tag?) 14:51, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I got so frustrated editing this very article because of various trolls, at times, that I swore it off. I'm trying now to focus on verifiability and clear writing and just ignore those people, and it seems to be working out okay. Catamorphism 00:25, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Convention of Tauroggen

Thank you for the deletion of German text while I was busy translating! Next time, try to contribute something useful. --Matthead 01:43, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that--I was monitoring new pages, which are often of low quality, and wasn't aware that you were still at work on the page. I hope it didn't set you back too much. The text I deleted should still be available in the history, of course. --Grace 07:05, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

The very hungry caterpillar

Hi there! I removed that reference to Bush, because if it is verifyable, we should be able to find something on the internet from a reputable source which substantiates it. Otherwise, that bit of information is not particularly useful. Perhaps a journalist asked him publically about the book? --HappyCamper 15:17, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello Grace!

Thanks for your very hospitable welcome to Wikipedia. I really appreciate it!

I've already got to work improving some Wikipedia articles, as you might have already noticed. I'm sure the general guidelines for editing pages will make themselves clear as time passes, but I'll make sure I check out the New Contributors Help Page if I strike a hurdle of some sort. See you later!

Your Help desk question

Hi. As you requested, I am just letting you know that someone has left an answer to your query on the Help Desk. Road Wizard 11:50, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

68.227.69.195 report on WP:RFI

First, I must comment that you have a remarkably short talk page considering you've been around a while :)

I noticed that IP had a red linked talk page. With issues like this it is work dropping a note on their talk page. Take a look at WP:EL and WP:SPAM and decide for yourself if you think the links are suitable. If not, feel free to revert even if they are the only one. If they are spam then warn using the {{spam}}, {{spam2}}, {{spam3}}, {{spam4}} templates as appropriate. Let me know if you have any further questions and/or if you need me to issue a block if they persist despite warnings. Cheers, Petros471 19:29, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll check whether the editor is still at it when I have the time. I think I have a short talk page because I make mostly uncontroversial edits in a wide variety of places rather than staying on one task where I could become well known. Oh well. --Grace 01:37, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

music tapes

it was fun trying to edit the pages i am new and i have been reading up on the guidelines and stuff. i am having issues because i changed my skin to chick and now i can't change it back or change much else. any ideas how i can fix it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rogersbowne (talk • contribs)

When you're logged in, go to "my preferences", which should be toward the bottom of any page on the Chick layout, under "personal tools". Click on "Skin". Select "Monobook (default)" and click Save. --Grace 01:41, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

URBAN MEDIA INC.

I dropped a note onto the Admin notice board asking someone to block our good friend User:URBAN MEDIA INC.. It's pretty obvious that he or she doesn't care to work with us or within the community's guidelines here. --ElKevbo 07:44, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Since you submitted this article for deletion, I figured you might like to contribute to its AfD. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tomawanda Seneca Nation Land Claim. NickelShoe (Talk) 15:47, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Michael and Sen. Cantwell

Hi Grace, no I didn't see his work over on that article until you mentioned it. FYI, on other blogs, Michael is fond of calling her "Senator Cuntwell" and has called for her impeachment. He's really amazing. I'm glad he's so out of control, as it should make the RfC easier. See you later. Dcbiglaw 02:47, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Esperanza!

Welcome, The Famous Movie Director, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee comprised of JoanneB, Freakofnurture and Titoxd. The next set of elections will be in June, and you are more than welcome to take part, by voting or by listing yourself as a candidate.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Celestianpower by email or talk page or the Esperanza talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC Tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

And if you ever have any questions about Esperanza or anything else on Wikipedia, ask me. —It's The Cliff! 00:41, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Gombert Girl

You were exactly right. I put those messages on her user page by accident, so thank you for bringing that to my attention. I've made the fix. Thanks again! Rklawton 21:31, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that

I think that it was a mistake on my part, I was trying to revert a differnt article and hit the wrong link Aeon 03:18, 19 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.

Fulla

You added the NPOV tag to the article, Fulla (doll) in the popularity section because you said it sounded like an advertisement. Would you mind telling me how to improve the status of that section so it has a netural point of view and doesn't sound like an advertisement? --71.118.87.141 01:55, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, I think I fixed all the NPOV problems on that section of the article...are there any other problems with the section? And on the subject of getting a Wikipedia account, I'll consider it. --71.105.10.216 23:58, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me improve the status of the article! But if it's okay, would you mind uploading some pictures for me? I'll add the appropriate copyright tags and put a good rationale with them. --71.118.76.145 17:37, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Adverbs

Hopefully used to mean I hope is another annoying adverb. It's very hard to avoid them. Personally, I think that if you need an adverb there's probably something wrong with the verb.Roger Allen 17:57, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

You're right, but I'm less picky about casual writing like the kind on user pages. Thanks for fixing my silly mistake, though. --Grace 10:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi!

Hi, Grace - I saw your opinion on the non-mainstream theories AfD and just wanted to say hello. I've been on WP for a year or so and have noticed POV pushing to attack material that is different, particularly if it supports a spiritual worldview. One reason to change the name of the list was to devalue the theories and concepts on it. Recently, an interesting article on a theory of reality, the CTMU, was deleted from Wikipedia in spite of the fact that it had wide media coverage, been written up in Popular Science and gets over 15,000 ghits on the otherwise obscure exact phrase "Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe". It was a witch-hunt. The article will be back because the theory continues to gain credibility and popularity, but I just brought it up as an example of the censorship that goes on at Wikipedia. Btw, I saw some great books on your reading list. Thanks for posting it! DrL 14:19, 7 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.

September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors! What's New? September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves! Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there! The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself!

November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!) Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. What's New? The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one! A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello. Signed...

moved absolutes article

Hello,

Why did you move the Absolutes article to Absolute (aromatherapy)? Absolutes are not just used in aromatherapy. In fact, the article mentions that absolutes are often not used in aromatherapy because the extract process leaves behind chemicals "considered undesirable since they could cause allergies and effect the immune system."

Absolutes can (simply put) be thought of as more concentrated versions of essential oils.

Thanks. Brainsik 02:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Instead of (aromatherapy), how about (essential oil)? Brainsik 14:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Changed to (substance) per your suggestion. I fixed the disambiguation page, and the double redirect. Brainsik 02:43, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of The Corrections (2007)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on The Corrections (2007), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because The Corrections (2007) is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting The Corrections (2007), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Unblock me please?

{{unblock|My shared IP has been blocked, but I'm not a vandal and I'd like to be able to edit while logged in. (I've been away from Wikipedia for a while. It used to be that if your IP was blocked you could still edit if you were logged in, because your IP is supposed to be anonymous when you're logged in. Why have the rules changed?)}}

I don't know what your IP is. Is the block message giving you an IP address or block ID that I could use to track down the block? MBisanz ^talk 12:25, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

I think it says it's 203.213.7.136 - thanks for your help. I'd still like to know why I'm unable to edit even while logged in, if you can figure it out. --Grace (talk) 13:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, that is odd, the block on that IP expired 5 days ago. Any other messages coming through? I want to help here, but right now, from what I can see, you should be able to edit. MBisanz ^talk 14:15, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Smart thinking! MBisanz ^talk 15:17, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, for some reason I am able to edit again now. Thanks for your help, everyone. I'll put the template back if the problem comes back and I'd be happy to take a screenshot or whatever else is necessary. --Grace (talk) 05:13, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Drink spiking

The article Drink spiking has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Drink spiking has many motives, not only rape. Discussion at Talk:Date rape drug indicates that this redirect is inappropriate.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  – jaksmata 21:00, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello, The Famous Movie Director. Please check your email; you've got mail!
It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.

Hi! I wanted to let you know that we have created an IRC channel for "countering systemic bias one new editor at a time", aka closing the gender gap! Come hang out at #wikimedia-gendergap if that subject interests you. We hope this channel can serve as a safe haven to hang out, talk about Wiki, brainstorming, women in Wikimedia, article alerts and foster friendships. I hope you join us! (And if you need any IRC help, just let me know!) See you there! SarahStierch (talk) 22:08, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Whiteness theory for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Whiteness theory is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whiteness theory until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Pontificalibus 08:24, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Shalash al-Iraqi

The article Shalash al-Iraqi has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Snowycats (talk) 17:21, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
