Hi, just a note--it's considered bad form to put a speedy deletion notice on a page that's already on votes for deletion, even if there's a consensus to delete. Don't worry, an admin will get to it after the voting period is up. Anyway, let me add a belated welcome, and happy editing. Yours, Meelar (talk) 21:45, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
Hey. I appreciate what you did by moving Vaitahu to Vaitahu, Tahuata and making Vaitahu a disambig page...I was strongly considering doing it myself...my only problem is that you left a reference to Vaitahu pointing to it when you could very easily have disambigged it to Vaitahu, Tahuata instead of leaving it hanging. Try to keep in mind that not every WP user can follow a consistent train of thought when disambigging and look to reduce all redirects rather than just the double redirects so strongly frowned upon by the WP overgods. Thanks for your work, and I look forward to working with you in the future. Tomer TALK 09:47, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
Sorry man, that user is being a WP:DICK, and I was blocking on sight. Only now I saw a notice on WP:AN/I asking to avoid blocking there. -- cesarb 22:12, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
About this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cathedrals#Spain (Excuse my poor english) Exists two Cathedral of San Salvador cathedrals in Spain, one in Oviedo and the other one in Zaragoza. Maybe we should do a dissambiguation page for Cathedral of San Salvador (I don't know do this).

Thanks for letting me know about problems in Safari. It seems to work in konqueror so I was hoping that it would in Safari too... I don't have access to a mac and I noticed that you're a compsci, so perhaps you'll be able to help to fix these problems. Do you know if there are any errors generated when you use the script? Maybe you could let me know. This link may help you to activate the debugger. L upin 15:19, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
Whilst I appreciate this IP has recently been the source of unwanted vandalism, please be aware that as per the notice above, it is a shared proxy by UK ISP, NTL. As such, it is shared by a large number of users, and any admins tempted to block the IP would be affecting plenty of genuine contributors, such as myself. Annoyingly, blocking of this IP is all too common. UkPaolo 21:46, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for doing - and then telling me about, and even updating my links! - the disambig job on Waking the Dead. Much appreciated, and needed.

Just thought I'd leave a comment regarding my edits to Classical High School. My main reason for the revert was that I didn't consider a bulleted list to be very encyclopedic (and the article was still tagged for cleanup). I intentionally ommitted the motto for the same reasons, but will respect your decision to re-add it. Apologies for the British spelling of colour, I re-typed it without thinking, and fully appreciate color would be more appropriate for an article on a US school!

hey there, you just closed the AfD for List of vehicles in The Simpsons, as no consensus, and I was just intrigued to know why. I know it doesn't really matter, since that will default to a keep, but to my count there was 11 Keep's against 8 Delete's, which seemed relatively clear cut. Is there a policy on what the difference should be between votes for one to win outright? └ UkPaolo/ TALK┐ 08:29, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the additions to my update, am still learning some of the wikiquette. Glad you liked what I'd done, I've also updated the entries for Picturehouse Cinemas and Cineworld and created Showcase Cinemas. Plus updated the cats for current and former cinema chains.

UkPaolo:
Just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for supporting me in my recent RFA. I confess I was a bit surprised to see you there, and I remain somewhat curious as to what brought my RFA to your attention in the first place.
Regardless, however, I'm appreciative of your participation, especially since my RFA was successful and I have been promoted to Admin. I will endeavor to live up to your high praise in my duties as admin.
All the best.

Hey UkPaolo/Archive 1! Thanks for your support on my RfA. The final outcome was (57/4/3), so I am now an administrator. If you need help, have a question, or just want to chat (or if I get out of line!), please don't hesitate to let me know! Again, thanks! :D

Hi UKPaolo, Just FYI I discussed the frequent inversion of Private Eye recently with a friend who works at W H Smith, and he admitted it is an internal cultural thing, and tacitly encouraged by some members of senior management. I think I saw someone else comment about it somewhere on the web a year or two ago, if I find the link I will throw it your way for your consideration. Sjc 05:24, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

A discussion has begun on how to handle an official election for replacing the Main Page. To ensure it is set up sensibly and according to consensus, your input is needed there. -- Go for it! 22:54, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Welcome, UkPaolo/Archive 1, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! 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. Redwolf24 runs the spam to keep members 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/Possibles.
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 FireFox, Flcelloguy, Titoxd, and Karmafist. The next set of elections will be in February, and I would be glad to see you vote, or even consider running for a position.
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 :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!
Cheers, Sango 123 (talk) 00:01, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Are you an admin? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4836.03 ( talk • contribs)
As I remember, the last spam that was handed out was on the 20th of December last year, so I think it's time for another update. First and foremost, the new Advisory Council and Administrator General have been elected. They consist of myself as Admin General and FireFox, Titoxd, Flcelloguy and Karmafist as the Advisory Council. We as a group met formally for the first time on the 31st of Decembe. The minutes of this meeting can be found at WP:ESP/ACM. The next one is planned for tonight (Sunday 29 January) at 20:30 UTC and the agenda can be found at WP:ESP/ACM2.
In other news, Karmafist has set up a discussion about a new personal attack policy, which it can be found here. Other new pages include an introductory page on what to do when you sign up, So you've joined Esperanza... and a welcome template: {{ EA-welcome}} (courtesy of Bratsche). Some of our old hands may like to make sure they do everything on the list as well ;) Additionally, the userpage award program proposal has become official is operational: see Wikipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award to nominate a userpage or volunteer as a judge. Also see the proposed programs page for many new proposals and old ones that need more discussion ;)
Other than that, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you an Esperanzially good new WikiYear :D Thank you! --

I've nominated you for adminship. Do you accept? -- Bling-chav 12:20, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi UkPaolo, I'm sorry that you couldn't accept Bling-chav's nomination. I didn't know he was acting in bad faith, and I should have checked his edits before voting. By the way, I think you're a great editor, and you're certainly qualified to become a sysop. I'm going on a temporary wikibreak right now, but when I return I'd like to nominate you. Would you accept? Mushroom ( Talk) 22:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
I'm the head web developer at the Student Center, and can attest to the fact (and prove to you, if you wish) that Student Center IS a social networking site. I'm not sure what criteria for "social networking" you're using, but we have all of the features that the larger social networking sites have, including:
- customized profiles - "Friends" page, with Friendster-style approvals - journals (our name for our blogs) - photo albums
In addition, the Student Center has a total membership network-wide of nearly 1,000,000 registered users -- which is way more than some of the sites you've allowed to remain on the Wikipedia page in question.
Drop me a line -- I'd like to know your reasons for removing our site.
Thanks,
Tom
Ah, thank you for the reversion -- I'll check the guidelines to make sure the Student Center meets the appropriate criteria.

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".
The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.
Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

Welcome, UkPaolo/Archive 1, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! 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. Redwolf24 runs the spam to keep members 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/Possibles.
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 FireFox, Flcelloguy, Titoxd, and Karmafist. The next set of elections will be in February, and I would be glad to see you vote, or even consider running for a position.
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 :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

Are you an admin? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4836.03 ( talk • contribs)
As I remember, the last spam that was handed out was on the 20th of December last year, so I think it's time for another update. First and foremost, the new Advisory Council and Administrator General have been elected. They consist of myself as Admin General and FireFox, Titoxd, Flcelloguy and Karmafist as the Advisory Council. We as a group met formally for the first time on the 31st of Decembe. The minutes of this meeting can be found at WP:ESP/ACM. The next one is planned for tonight (Sunday 29 January) at 20:30 UTC and the agenda can be found at WP:ESP/ACM2.
In other news, Karmafist has set up a discussion about a new personal attack policy, which it can be found here. Other new pages include an introductory page on what to do when you sign up, So you've joined Esperanza... and a welcome template: {{ EA-welcome}} (courtesy of Bratsche). Some of our old hands may like to make sure they do everything on the list as well ;) Additionally, the userpage award program proposal has become official is operational: see Wikipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award to nominate a userpage or volunteer as a judge. Also see the proposed programs page for many new proposals and old ones that need more discussion ;)
Other than that, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you an Esperanzially good new WikiYear :D Thank you! --

For your kind support of my Rfa, which passed. If you should ever have any complaints about my admin actions, please let me know. Also, should you ever need my help with anything, please do not hesitate to ask! Thanks again! All the best Ban e z 17:06, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
I've nominated you for adminship. Do you accept? -- Bling-chav 12:20, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi UkPaolo, I'm sorry that you couldn't accept Bling-chav's nomination. I didn't know he was acting in bad faith, and I should have checked his edits before voting. By the way, I think you're a great editor, and you're certainly qualified to become a sysop. I'm going on a temporary wikibreak right now, but when I return I'd like to nominate you. Would you accept? Mushroom ( Talk) 22:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
why did you revert the contents of crack addict to being about police officers?!? StrengthCoach 20:43, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi,
I'm the head web developer at the Student Center, and can attest to the fact (and prove to you, if you wish) that Student Center IS a social networking site. I'm not sure what criteria for "social networking" you're using, but we have all of the features that the larger social networking sites have, including:
- customized profiles - "Friends" page, with Friendster-style approvals - journals (our name for our blogs) - photo albums
In addition, the Student Center has a total membership network-wide of nearly 1,000,000 registered users -- which is way more than some of the sites you've allowed to remain on the Wikipedia page in question.
Drop me a line -- I'd like to know your reasons for removing our site.
Thanks,
Tom
Ah, thank you for the reversion -- I'll check the guidelines to make sure the Student Center meets the appropriate criteria.

My wikibreak is over, so...

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".
The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.
Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

I nominated you for adminship for an act of kindness. You reject it, saying it is bad faith, which it is clearly not. Then you automatically accept User:Mushroom's nomination? Why? You are not worthy of being an admin! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bling-chav ( talk • contribs)
