Congrats :-)......
I am sure you'll do a great job!!! And, by the looks of things on many User pages, we need all the good spirit and comradery we can get! Best of luck!! >: Roby Wayne Talk • Hist • E@ 22:12, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Hello there Flcelloguy, I congratulate you on winning the vote in the Esperanza election. I'm sure you will do a fantastic job and looking forward to further good work. I wish you all the best... Gryffindor 22:05, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Hey, Cello, congratulations on being a part of Esperanza's Advisory Committee. While I didn't get enough votes to join you there, I know that you'll do a great job, so I'm not worried. And did I say congratulations? :) Titoxd(?!?) 22:37, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Congratulations Flcelloguy, I have no doubt you will be an admirable member of the advisory committee (forgive poor spelling). All the best! Banes 03:26, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
Heartiest congratulations! JDH Owens talk | Esperanza 10:08, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
I get the feeling that you play the cello :)
I have a request. For a while now, I've been trying to get a copy of the prelude to Bach's cell suite I. Public domain sheet music can be found here. Can you provide such a recording? →Raul654 22:27, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Greetings, and no problem with the rush; contrary to appearances I do get away from Wikipedia occasionally. :-) Mindspillage (spill yours?) 05:52, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
1. Do you plan to run for re-election this year? Why or why not?
2. How do you feel about being appointed to serve on the ArbCom?
3. Right now, what do you think are the strengths of the ArbCom?
4. Weaknesses?
5. If you could change anything, what would you change? Why?
6. If you could say one thing to the current ArbCom candidates, what would you say, and why?
7. Do you think your job will be easy? Hard? Explain.
8. Do you feel that the ArbCom is appreciated by the community? If not, how do you think that could be changed?
9. What do you think will be the most frustrating thing about being on the ArbCom? Enjoyable?
10. Any other thoughts regarding your appointment?
I have not broken the 3RR rule as my 1st edit was not a revert notr my last. I have been very careful. Whatever you think of my behaviour 3 reverts does not give you grounds to block me, and especially given your uncalled for attack on me yesterday, SqueakBox 23:26, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
I have never been blocked from editing wikipedia and I want to keep it that way. I tend to agree with you about the rollback and have issues about the whole Rfadmin process being a popularity contest in which some users get mauled so badly they leave the project, SqueakBox 23:44, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
For evidence of some good having come out of my accidental block see Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Blocked users not being able to view source text, SqueakBox 00:07, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Hello Esperanzians! A few announcements.
The Advisory Committee election results are in. In tranch A are Acetic Acid and Flcelloguy. In tranch B are Ryan Norton and Bratsche.
My other annoouncement is that our founder, JCarriker, has founded Esperanza's sister project, Wikipediology. I have written two essays here (my name is Matt Binder). My essays are under Teenage Wikipedians and Anon Editors.
On behalf of myself and Jay Carriker and the other wikipediologists, I would appreciate it if you were to join.
Cheers Esperanza! Redwolf24 (talk—How's my driving?) 23:32, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your support - my bid (as you probably know) went swimmingly. I couldn't have asked for a better one. Thank you very much and I just hope I don't mess up! Do you talk on IRC? It'd be nice to see you there! --Celestianpower hablamé 12:37, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
I will no longer be participating in Cberlet's sentence by sentence attempt to subvert the nature of the Significance of Venona article. I believe there is ample evidence of him abusing the process, demanding from me citations for every sentence (which, in fact, I never even authored), and his totally unsourced sentence by sentence original research. It has been grossly unfair, and fruitless. He has consistently not presented any sourcing for any proposed changes.
I will be glad to continue the mediation process beginning with this text --> Belmont to Boardman. It is drawn entirely from primary source material, so it should not be difficult or controversial to edit. Cberlet's inclusion of secondary material is most welcome there. When it is done, we can rewrite the Introduction. Thank you. nobs 04:30, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your support on my RfA. I'd love to come back to the Signpost, but the problem is I can't set aside a block of time to write a piece anymore because of real life pressures. It's really just a case of me editing Wikipedia whenever I can find the time, which seems to be quite often but pretty irregular. I may write a couple of one-off pieces in the near future (in fact I have a couple of ideas lined up), but probably won't be able to take on a regular slot. the wub "?!" 14:36, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
My pleasure, good article. Jayjg (talk) 22:01, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Someone put my article for deletion! I haven't done changes to it yet! Help!
Mike15 13:57, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
I also posted this on the RfA:
I said "possible" trolling. In addittion, my edits have increased shortly after I arrived at college. While I was first getting set up there, freshman year,(sept 18), I did not have much edit time. So that explains the temporary edit decrease. They are on the rise again, just get a new chart with Kate's tool or something. Also, I would not accuse him possible trolling if I was confronting him, I was merely discussing that possibility with other people. You should not the distinction. Also, thank you for your respect though, as the other two oppose votes are either unexplained or harsh and exaggerated.
BTW, that "you have new messages" bar got me all exciting, and then...huh?...that thing is evil...evil...:)Voice of All @|Esperanza|E M 02:37, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi there! On the Q&D Checkuser proposal you refer to a fiasco on the mailing list. Could you please enlighten me what that's about, and/or give me a link? Thanks. Radiant_>|< 11:30, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

I take it from your last edit summary all is well in the string section? Alf melmac 21:29, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
Wonderful idea. I think we should have e-mail suggestions, and you're right, letters to the editor would be a good idea only if we control what gets published, solely so that it doesn't turn into the village pump.
As far as the ArbCom elections, I say we leave it as is until we get official word that the elections are a moot point, then change as necessary while still keeping the series going. Ral315 (talk) 22:58, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the revert there. [dishonest personal atatck removed], and I don't know how to get him to become a more courteous editor. I mean, he got in a fight with the probable guitarist of British Sea Power of whether the members of the band of British Sea Power were bird watchers. And the sad thing is, they are to an extent, but he totally blew the entire thing out of proportion, he seems to do that everywhere. Karmafist 02:02, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-10-24/ArbCom election. I ran but withdrew... I don't know if this would be notable to update the article. - Ta bu shi da yu 06:58, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
I have been on a slight programming hiatus. Although I love programming, and I love to help the Wikipedia, the unfortunate fact is that I don't live in a Star Trek world meaning that I don't get paid to do the work I do for the Wikipedia. So, please excuse me if I'm not, at the moment, writing code for the Wikipedia when I'm out trying to make a living for myself. As much I like to be locked in a closet and finish my Wikipedia work, I have some real life priorities that need attention at the moment, so please excuse me if my attention and activity level is not at par. And thank you for your award, it's greatly appreciated. --AllyUnion (talk) 10:02, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
The text produced by the translator can be understood. I will not assert that it is fully correct french language ... and my english is probably not perfect, too ... Best regards Gérard 14:44, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for supporting me in my RfA. I never thought I would get so much support! Thanks to your help, my nomination was the 10th most supported RfA in Wikipedia history. Now, please keep an eye out on me while I learn the new tools, ok? Thanks again! Titoxd(?!?) 17:50, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Hello, Flcelloguy. I just put this comment on AfD. Maybe I'm misreading the situation, but I thought User:Destinyg was someone who could use a welcome and being shown some ropes. I didn't want to step in (besides, not very experienced myself), but do you think you or someone else on the welcome committee might step in? (Incidentally, I assume Sandy Berger Biography is actually autobiography, although I could be wrong.) AndyJones 23:38, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Excuse me Flcello, but what are you talking about? I've never censored POTW, and I deleted a comment at Scott Fisher's request which I agreed with since it was about personal info on his kids. Granted, that doesn't make it as confidential as i'd like, but it's something.
Also, are you ok? I've heard Wilma is doing a number on things down there, although I haven't been paying close attention and wondered if Central Florida was being hit at all. Karmafist 23:32, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
AndyJones explaine the userfy question for me as well. but thank you for the help anyway.—Gaff ταλκ 00:16, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
I did get the e-mail, yes. For now, we might consider substituting the ArbCom duties article this week, waiting on an announcement from Jimbo. Certainly, voting will be different, even just a bit. So it really might be best to switch to the duties and requirements article. Ral315 (talk) 03:29, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
No. Some images are sourced from copyrighted sites. If the .gov domains lists out the photographer and agency, then it definately is not a free image. You can also check if the full sized image is hosted on a non .gov site. =Nichalp «Talk»= 05:31, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi there
Thanks for your kind message; but I don't think anything will stop the utter distress and depression I feel as a result of this badly flawed RfA. In my memory, you might consider pushing for the process to be depersonalised: at the moment, it's way open to abuse by anyone with a grudge; regrettably, on this occasion it has coincided with a stouch between me and the egos behind a substandard FAC that I dared to critique. I've made things worse by defending myself against attacks during the RfA process; I do normally enjoy very cordial and productive relationships with other WPs, and shun conflict, but I will always defend myself when under sustained attack and when I can't readily escape.
While the process is transparent - which is clearly an advantage and makes it low-maintenance for the bureaucrat who signs off at the end - this very attribute is a serious problem where there's potential for personal abuse and group attack. So, it's fine for the FAC process, but IMV a mistake to replicate in the RfA process, when a person rather than text is under scrutiny.
The first thing that needs reform is the culture of changing one's vote during the process: this encourages posturing by individual reviewers and a 'herd mentality', both very much in evidence during my RfA. These are likely to skew the results and reduce the tone of the process. Therefore, I suggest that each vote should be locked in when made, based on each reviewer's research and prior knowledge of the nominee, and not on subsequent hearsay and tittle-tattle, whether put on the table by trouble makers or more innocently in the course of the current all-too-open commentaries.
The second aspect that desperately needs attention is the lack of respect for the privacy of both nominee and reviewers. I find it inexcusable that the process is unmoderated and that there are no guidelines for the participants with respect to tone, content, and evidentiary support. Commentaries and votes should be registered privately and viewed only by the moderator/bureacrat and, at the end of the process, by the nominee; the nominee should not have access to the identity of the reviewers.
These two changes, which imply a slightly larger role for the bureacrat than at present, would go a long way towards making the process:
In my memory, you might consider lobbying for a change to the process. Email me if something happens, and I'll stop bagging Wikipedia on the net (I'm angry ...). You're right, WP can't afford to lose hard-working, devoted contibutors like me (he boasts, but it's true). In under a week, I've turned from this into a bitter enemy of the project.
Sincerely and with great regret, Tony 22:25, 29 October 2005 (UTC) tony1 at iinet dot net dot au
Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Bernhard Cossmann, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |
Fvw, you wrote above that your POPBlocker needs another admin to run/block. I might be interested in doing that, but my level of technical competence is very low. Could you possible give me more details about what the "job" entails — i.e. is it just mass-blocking a list of IPs, or editting through open proxies? Thanks.

I see no problem with Duties and Requirements for next week. You could mention that there really isn't a single requirement, possibly touching on how some people wanted it to be admins-only. As far as introducing e-mail and such, I think that can be done in a "From the editor" piece. But I plan to reorganize things (the Newsroom, for one- I want to break things up a bit more) I'd like to do it all together, so I'll make sure it gets done by next issue. Ral315 (talk) 22:52, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for welcoming me! You are so kind.
User:Mindspillage claims on Administrators'_noticeboard/Archive13 [1] that the "Canada Free Press and Judi McLeod have been the target of a smear campaign by an anonymous user who has made other attacks on them in the past (off Wikipedia)."
You said you would keep the articles watchlisted.
I'm concerned that this is a pretext to stop factual information from appearing. I appreciate the situation Wiki is in, but much of what Judi McLeod says needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Judi McLeod has a history of making wild accusations. For that reason I seriously doubt that there has been a "smear campaign" on the internet ... especially since I can't find any trace of it!
I'm telling you this because Judi McLeod and her colleague Rachel Marsden have involved Jimbo in this and are accusing User:HOTR of impropriety. --Cyberboomer 00:17, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

You'll note I responded to your questions on my RFA, yet I still haven't seen you vote one way or the other. Is there something else holding you back from voting? ALKIVAR™ 23:54, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
I'm not going there anymore, but I'm still living near there (until I move at the end of the year). Are you going for a college visit? (The cello studio has been quite good in recent years, though I don't know about this year, and I suspect you'd like both the cello prof and the orchestra director.) A pity you don't have time for a meet, but I might stop by and say hello briefly anyhow... Mindspillage (spill yours?) 22:48, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

In case you're not already aware, it seems Sannse has now resigned from the Arbitration Committee. --Michael Snow 21:13, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi celloguy, since when is the RC header not a place for announcements? It has been a while since the last one, but I see no discussion of this change, nor do I understand the reason for it... +sj + 04:10, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Yes, I told the other arbitrators via the arbitration mailing list. On the reason for the contradictory messages: I came back from an extended wikibreak last week, and hoped to get back to arbitration work as soon possible. Unfortunately, it became clear as I tried to catch up that I am just not well enough at the moment to put in the time and commitment that the job needs. I didn't feel it fair to my colleagues on the committee to continue with that being the case. I still fully support the arbitration committee and believe strongly in the job the committee does. In fact, I would very much like to rejoin the committee one day - if the opportunity arises and if my health improves. Sorry for the slow reply, I hope it's in time to be of use to you. sannse (talk) 19:41, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
I'm sorry you found reason to object to my adminship, but now that I've been promoted, I'd like to clear the slate. If you have any specific issues/problems with me, please feel free to state them on my talk page so that I can work to prevent them in the future. ALKIVAR™ 07:21, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
It seems that you didn't open round 4, 1 week after the scheduled date. I wonder anything's wrong? Deryck C. 09:27, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Very good question...I'm going to try and come up with an easier way to do it, in wake of a couple stories I've accidentally missed in the past few weeks. What I'm assuming is that they'll be posted, in sub-headings, on the pages in question. Your articles would be on the "Special Series" page, under special sub-headings each week. I'll put it into action in a day or two. Ral315 (talk) 01:30, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, no can do, I am cheating at the moment and using a pywikibot and as I don't know python so I am a bit limited to what I can do. I am planning to make a bot in my native tongue of c# at some point in the future, so maybe then I'll be able to help. thanks Martin 11:42, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Apologies for my delay in adding more information about myself and my reasons for wishing to become a Mediator. This has now been sorted out. Thanks for helping me out. Wikiwoohoo 20:47, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Ooh, that's a nice feature. Thanks for pointing it out! –ArmadniGeneral (talk • contribs) 23:33, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
I think it is obvious that Nobs is incapable or unwilling to actually edit text. We have been at this for weeks, and Nobs has buried this mediation in mountains of material, and yet refuses to edit text. He has announced that he is unwilling to continue this mediation, then returns and inserts more mountains of text that has nothing to do with editing text. At some point this is no longer a mediation, but merely a farce. I really think that the mediator needs to be active in this mediation, or pass it off to someone willing to play a more active role. I really resent the current circumstance, in which I edit text and write compromise text, and Nobs plays us all for suckers.--Cberlet 02:53, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

If you have any lists of articles that need mediation, can you give them to me if I should ask. I think I can mediate 2 at a time, so I can work with one more article.

Thanks for the help regarding the old account. Durin tried to help with that a lot but we could not find out what it was. My name is Grant and I was convinced the user name began with that but when Durin trawled through the list of users and picked out all those beginning with Grant, none rang a bell. It was at that point I gave up, but decided I preferred this account name much more than whatever the old one used to be. As I said in my previous RfA, this name seems a little mysterious but has an over-riding sense of fun, or so I think anyway!;) Wikiwoohoo 22:06, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

You've been assigned a case which I wasn't sure if I was gonna accept. Although strangely worded, and a rather trivial dispute, I figure if there's an edit war we should at least try and stop it. The case shouldn't take too long, and I had this in mind because of your Nobs/Cberlet case. Of course you also have the option to reject it or refer it somewhere else in Dispute Resolution. Redwolf24 (talk) 02:22, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
I'd like to ask those fellows who have not indicated whether or not they grant permission for a wikibio on them to please do so soon. I'd also appreciate it everyone could expand or create the wikibios for which permission has been granted. The wikibio project simply won't be useful unless fellows actively participate; so I'd like to issue a challenge that each fellow contribute at least one sentence to two wikibios. I'll be on wikibreak for the next week and when I get back there will be prizes in store for the fellows who have the three highest edit counts on wikibios. Thanks. -JCarriker 22:41, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
Hrm. I would write all the candidates and ask for comments; also use their candidate statements. Unless you can think of a better idea, I'd plan on doing candidates this week for now.

Hello Cryptic, thanks for getting your bot to archive! Two quick questions/comments: first, when it updates the navbox, is it supposed to move the blue links to the left and add red links to uncreated archives, as was done previously before the 'bot started archiving? I really don't mind either way (having all blue links to archives or having both blue and red links to archives), but I thought I'd point this out. Second, just a friendly reminder to update the bot's page to describe the archiving activities. Thanks a lot for your help! Flcelloguy (A note?) 18:02, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Would you please make sure that the last call for arbcom candidates goes into the monday edition of the signpost. Raul654 23:14, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi! You don't know me. :) The image you uploaded of Gmail's link to the Horn of Plenty article incorrectly used the ((Wikipedia-screenshot)) template. That template states that the associated image is a screenshot of Wikipedia. Since the screenshot is of Gmail, that's clearly wrong. I changed it to use the ((Software-screenshot)) template. I believe that's much more correct. (Gmail is basically just another software program, after all.) I wanted to let you know in case my take on this is wrong. --DragonHawk 05:25, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:Gmail Thanksgiving.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. |
Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Coffin Handbills, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |

Oh and since I leaving you a message I have to plug my classic rock survey, so would you like to participate, and there is more info on my user page.
