[edit] Successful RfA

Thanks for your support and kind words on my recent RfA, which I am pleased to say passed with a final tally of 80/1/1. If you ever need any help, or if I mess something up as an admin, please let me know. Cactus.man ✍ 20:42, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IRC

I'm here. :-) You can reply here; I'll watchlist it. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 17:08, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Ok. I think the best thing to do, is shut down your computer, restart, and only open one firefox. Then go to http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/chatzilla/ . Make sure popups are allowed for that site, it won't install if they aren't. If you click and nothing happens, then look up to the msg at the top of firefox and make sure popups are on. This may be the central issue. pschemp | talk 17:10, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

OK, let me try that. Flcelloguy (A note?) 17:12, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Same error when I tried the link, but I went through Firefox's web page [1] and it says "Chatzilla will be installed when Firefox is restarted." I'll close Firefox now and restart it. Flcelloguy (A note?) 17:17, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

ok.pschemp | talk 17:19, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

OK, it seems to have worked - I went to view, tools, customize and there was a Chatzilla link. What should my next step be? Flcelloguy (A note?) 17:20, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

sweet! ok, drag that link onto the main toolbar. then you can click it and start chatzilla. then go to chatzilla, preferences. pschemp | talk 17:24, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

OK, I'm there now. Flcelloguy (A note?) 17:26, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

ok, now under global settings/startup...put irc://irc.freenode.net:8001 in the auto-connect URL box at the bottom. then you should be able to connect, and type /join #wikipedia-en and then we can fix anything else we need to. pschemp | talk 17:30, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I've added that; how do I connect? Flcelloguy (A note?) 17:33, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

close chatzilla and open it again, it shoudl automatically connect you to freenode. pschemp | talk 17:35, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

OK, I think I'm on now. Here's the bottom part of what I see: --- End of /MOTD command.

*NickServ* This nickname is owned by someone else *NickServ* If this is your nickname, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password> =-= User mode for Owner is now +i

Okay, sure. :P Have a nice evening. Computerjoe's talk 19:44, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

You weren't short with me Pschemp! I thank you for adding some clarity. Probably best I didn't sign up anyway; I'm officially on a wikibreak. :P Computerjoe's talk 13:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: UPA

Yes, I think I'll have more time this week to handle it. Thanks for taking over from KOS. Cheers! -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 13:17, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks!

Hi Pschemp! Thank you for supporting my RfA. It passed at 105/1/0, putting me in WP:100 - I'm delighted and surprised! I'm always happy to help out, so if you need anything, please drop me a line. Cheers! ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 20:23, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

	Thank you! Thank you for supporting / opposing / vandalising my RFA! The result was 71/3/0 and so I am now still a normal user / an administrator / indefinitely banned. Your constructive criticism / support / foulmouthed abuse has given me something to think about / helped me immensely / turned me into a nervous wreck. If there's any way I can help you in return, please ask someone else / suffer and die / drop me a line! --Sam Blanning (formerly Malthusian) (talk) 19:47, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Dear Mr Blanning, thank you for choosing the ACME Auto-thanker! Simply strike out the phrases that do not apply and tear off this strip at the indicated line to give all your supporters and detractors the personalised response they so richly deserve. N.B: DO NOT FORGET TO TEAR THIS BIT OFF, MORON!

[edit] IRC

I feel that you inproperly blocked me tonight in the wikipedia-en room. I dropped SJ and I's spat over the cvu. Someone asked me my opinion on userboxes, I made one reply, which you said was trolling. When I thought you might be playing a joke on a relative newcomer, I asked you, politely, if you were being serious or pulling my leg. I'd like you to either pull the block and explain to me what I did wrong. I promise you it wont happen again, I don't like being labelled a troll and would correct any behavior that caused me to be so labelled. -M^ask 05:25, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

You made multiple incivil remarks, and then brought up an issue in a way designed to provoke an argument after I politely and repeatedly asked you to change the topic from the incivility. I know nothing of other disputes you may have had, but the behavior I saw was rather unpleasant. I had never even met you before and was the recipient of your vitrol. Wikipedia does not benefit from that, and I will not condone it. You've been around five months on the project, which is plenty of time to learn how to be nice to people. pschemp | talk 13:45, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you so much for supporting me in my recent RfA, which passed with a final tally of 56/1/0. I thank you for your confidence in my abilities. If you ever need anything or find that I have made an error, please let me know on my talk page. — Scm83x hook 'em 21:26, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1

Reach out Reach out is a program aimed at allowing users to bring issues that they have had in Wikipedia to a listening, sympathetic and caring audience: "No one can know how we feel if we do not say. We cannot expect to get understanding if we do not ask for it. No one will dispute that sometimes life's issues are too much for one person. It is fair to say that sometimes Wikipedia's problems fall under the same heading. This is a place where you can bring the bruises that can sometimes be got on this project for attention." Stress Alerts The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them. Note from the editor Welcome to this new format of the Esperanza Newsletter, which came about during the last Advisory Council meeting - we hope you like it! The major changes are that each month, right after the Council meeting, this will be sent out and will include two featured programs and a sum up of the meeting. Also, it will be signed by all of the Advisory Council members, not just Celestianpower. Have an Esperanzial end of March, everyone!

The last AC meeting (full log) Future meetings are to be held monthly, not fortnightly as before. Bans and Access level changes (apart from autovoice) in the IRC channel are to be reported at the new log. In the IRC channel, there is going to be only one bot at a time. The charter requires members to have 150 edits and 2 weeks editing. Why this is the case will be clarified. A new Code of Conduct will be drafted by JoanneB and proposed to the Esperanza community. The NPA reform idea is to be dropped officially. Charter ammendments are to be discussed in future, not voted on. The Advisory Council is not going to be proposed to be expanded by the Advisory Council themselves, if others want to propose it, they will listen. Signed...

[edit] My RfA

My RfA recently closed and it was a success, passing at 84-02-00. I would like to thank you for taking the time to weigh in and on your subsequent support. And I know it's quite cliche, but if you ever need any assistance and/or want another opinion on something, grab a Pepsi and don't hesitate to drop me a line on my talk page. Thanks again.

[edit] Wikistalked

As you've been a big help to me in the past, would you mind giving me your thoughts on a comment I made to Gryffindor here?

Thanks. — natha(?)nrdotcom ^{(T • C • W)} 07:03, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

By the time I looked, the page had been sprotected. That's probably the best solution for now. :) pschemp | talk 16:30, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

	My RfA
	Thank you for supporting/opposing/commenting on my request of adminship, sadly the result was 54/20/7 an thus only 73% support votes, resulting in that the nomination failed. As many of you commenting that I have to few main-space edits, I'll try to better my self on that part. If you have any ideas on what kind of articles I could edit, pleas send me a line. :)	→AzaToth 09:43, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Still have Big Spring Texas on your watchlist? I'm leaving for awhile, just wanted to make sure someone had their eye on it. Cheers, OhNoitsJamie^Talk 16:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I was wondering what was going on, I reverted to Essjay to be on the safe side. Shame on you even with his permission! I would never do anything like that! ;-) Happy editing! Prodego ^talk 03:12, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA Results and Thanks

Pschemp/Archive 3, thank you for supporting me in my recent RfA. Although it did not succeed as no consensus was declared (final: 65/29/7), I know that there is always an opportunity to request adminship again. If and when that day comes, I hope you will once again support me. If at any time I make any mistakes or if you would like to comment on my contributions to Wikipedia, you are more than welcome to do so. Regardless of your religious, cultural, and personal beliefs, I pray that whatever and whoever motivates you in life continues to guide you on the most righteous path. --- joturner 02:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vibrissae

Hi Pschemp,

You've been writing, that in the follicle-sinus complex of a whisker mechanoelectric transduction is facilitated by the movement of blood. This seems unplausible, as any liquid based system would always low-pass filter the signal and rats are able to detect very, very subtle movements and disturbances of the whisker trajectory. The anatomy of the system is very complex and poorly understood (see Ebara S, Kumamoto K, Matsuura T, Mazurkiewicz JE, Rice FL. (2002) "Similarities and differences in the innervation of mystacial vibrissal follicle-sinus complexes in the rat and cat: a confocal microscopic study." J Comp Neurol. 2002 Jul 22;449(2):103-19. PMID: 12115682), so as I'm working in the field of the rat's whisker system, I was wonderin, if you could point me to your source, that states the role and the involvement of the blood in the mechanoelectric transduction of the follicle-sinus complex. Thanks! -- 84.160.240.200 10:25, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #2

Barnstar Brigade The Barnstar Brigade is a new program aimed at giving more very deserving yet unappreciated users barnstars. It will officially start on 2006-04-09, but signing up is encouraged before this date: "Here in Wikipedia, there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go un-appreciated. 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 un-noticed. Sadly, these editors often leave the project. As Esperanzians, we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. A project the size of Wikipedia has thousands of editors, so there are plenty of people out there who deserve recognition, one just has to find them. The object of this program is not to flood editors with Barnstars, but to seek out people who deserve them, and make them feel appreciated." Stress Alerts The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them. Information Welcome to the second issue of the new format Esperanza Newsletter - we hope you still like it! This week, it was delivered diligently by our new dogsbody. MiszaBot (run by Misza13): any execution complaints should go to him. Content comments should be directed at the Esperanza talkpage. Thanks!

The last AC meeting (full log) The next elections: Approval voting as before and, also as before, an previous leadership member can run. Please submit your name for voting in the relevant section of this page. Voting starts on 2006-04-23 and ends on 2006-04-30. There will be three places up for grabs as KnowledgeOfSelf is leaving Wikipedia. Please see the previously linked page for full details. The Code of Conduct is now ready for extensive discussion! Specific comments should go to the Code of Conduct talk page, discussion of having one at all should be directed to the main Esperanza talk page. The current process for accepting proposals for new programs has been deemed fine. All Advisory Council members and the Admin Gen are to endevour to be bold when viewing discussion. If they feel that consensus has been reached, they will act accordingly. A plea from the editor... The propsed programs page is terribly underused! Please leave any comments, good or bad, on the page, to help us determine the membership's thoughts on the ideas there. Signed...

Hello, Pschemp! Thank you for your support in my recent successful request for adminship.

[edit] It's raining shingles

Hi there, I've picked on you, you lucky thing, because you recently did some work on Shake (roof). It's one of several articles on v similar topics, like wood shingle and tile, which appear happily oblivious of each other. As this bunch have now been on my ToDo list for four months without me touching them, I thought I'd share the joy around... I know you've just been waiting for this moment, and also have nothing like enough to do, but please, don't thank me... ;-) JackyR 20:57, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
