Before doing the redirect you should have checked to see if any articles would be inappropriately redirected to your redirection. Is the actress Elizabeth Hess the same Elizabeth Hess that won the spelling bee? If not, then people would be mighty confused to click on her name in the page for, say, Clarissa Explains It All and then have it redirect to the spelling bee page. Some brief investigation on your part would have spared this type of confusion. I will add a stub for Hess under her name. Please do try to be more careful in the future.

Great work on the article! The article has really come into its own, and just in time for the 2006 Bee which will no doubt increase its publicity and exposure. Vernon 02:38, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
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.

Hey, Carabinieri! Mind if I take the initiative and overhaul your page for you? ;):

On the Tenzin Gyatso page, your last edit according to my (faulty) bowser was just adding "ISBN", however I now realise there is a possibility you fully restored the entire references and I couldn't see that because of Bug5643. If so, I am really sorry. 80.189.239.135 22:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you Webdinger for your exceptional contributions in Colorado related articles. SamWolken 00:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC) |
Hi, I'm Quadell. It's good to see young people who are really into Wikipedia -- not just the community, but the building of an encyclopedia. Your user page looks great, by the way! I've never run into a last name of So before. At first I thought it was Asian, but you know Spanish and want to go to Israel someday, so now I'm all confused. What is your ethnicity? All the best, – Quadell ( talk) ( bounties) 01:23, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
By the way: you mentioned that you sometimes translate pages from Spanish into English. I'd like to direct you attention to es:Trillo (agricultura), which is a featured article on the Spanish Wikipedia, and it's equivalent English article, Threshing-board, a stub. Could you incorporate the information from the Spanish page into the English one? Thanks, – Quadell ( talk) ( bounties) 17:19, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey, Lovelac7, I appreciate your efforts to standardize all the state templates and I commend you for doing a good job. I have a concern about the text sizes — I think that it'd be best if it was at least 11px in size, merely for aesthetics and readability. I am particularly concerned about the Colorado template, because up until the point that you edited it the font size had been 11px. Can this be done for all of the state templates? I wanted to consult you first, since you have been bold and taken the initiative to do something that has been in the backburner for a while. I tried to standardize the Colorado template myself for a little while — you'll see my efforts in the template's history along with its talk page. Great job! Thanks, and all the best, — Webdinger BLAH | SZ 03:54, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Hello Webdinger, I have been studying the changes made by Lovelac and you to the Delaware template, and appreciate the effort to reach common ground. I am OK with the content and its layout, especially since you changed the font. So all my issues are cosmetic. Frankly, I think my design looks far better than what you have come up with, but I know you are trying to fit this round peg into the square hole of what most of the templates look like now, flag in upper left, labels lower left, title on top. I wish you could cut away from that and design something new, but know how hard that would be. A couple of things still need to happen at a minimum. The only reason I had the flag on the right and no label on the left was to get the words centered. If you must have the label on the left, the flag on the right has to be all the way to the right, or entirely gone (either is OK) and the wording all centered under the title, wherever that is. If you can accomplish that, I think the design will be workable. Thanks again for the effort. stilltim 00:31, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Your latest mods for centering and bold face are perfect- thank-you. The only thing missing is a double line I had around the margin- see the code written in J. Caleb Boggs for the US Congress box- and the older version of the box. These lines give the box a more finished look and somehow also forces a little spacing that positions the template perfectly after the article text. Your help is most appreciated, as I can write history, but am not much good at programming. stilltim 10:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I hereby give you the "Eighth Person to Have Visted My Page" Award. Congrats! I'd just like to know how you found my page. Cheers! ← T•h•e R.S.J.→ 22:20, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Okay, thanks! ← T•h•e R.S.J.→ 20:17, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Hey, Ravedave, you stated on the edit summary of your recent edits to Template:Minnesota that "if standard == ugly then lets go nonstandard." What do you mean, ugly? As far as I can tell, the editors who are participating in the standardization effort are focusing on both clarity and how the template looks. Do you have a problem with the font size or the background color alternating? I see few differences between the current version of Template:Minnesota and other templates such as Template:Colorado (which was one of the very first templates to be standardized). Please offer your thoughts on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. states/state templates regarding what you'd like changed. Thanks! ;) — Webdinger BLAH | SZ 22:26, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Dave, Hi this is Lovelac7, the last one who madea a change to the Minnesota template. Since the biggest thing I changed was the color, I'm going to combine my changes with the old color. Tell me what you think of this version. If you don't like it, please let me know what you dislike in particular. Thanks for your input. Lovelac7 02:39, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
The RSJ - SPEAK has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{ subst:smile}}, {{ subst:smile2}} or {{ subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!
I'm giving these messages to everyone I know, and it's not the wrong kind of WikiLove (lol)... Cheers!
Auroranorth. You are in the process of being considered for the role of Vice-Chairman of the Committee.

Sorry, but I think a mistake has been made. I added a div to this page because, as I was looking at your page (which I love by the way) I noticed that on this page, everything following the intro section is squished over to the right half of the screen, in line with the right column. I added what I thought was a missing div to allow the content to go accross the entire page like the rest of your pages. Sorry for the confusion. - Trevor MacInnis ( Contribs) 12:56, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
On another note, I've noticed that, even though I've changed my username (and my sig) people still find my old username talk page. I'm just wondering what I've missed that people use to get there? - Trevor MacInnis ( Contribs) 22:08, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Hey, how's it goin'? Thanks for the help with the temp. I'm Editor19841 from Denver by the way. You've got a cool user page, and it looks like your not into userboxes, but if your interested you should check out {{ User WPColorado}}, {{ User Coloradan}} or {{ User Colorado}}. Anyhow, have a good one, see you around. Editor19841 ( talk) 20:49, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
