Argentinian to Argentine

Hi ShiningEyes. Thanks for setting the Category:Argentine trade unions straight. Shows my regretable lack of knowledge about Argentina. Cheers.--Bookandcoffee 22:34, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

WP:MOTTO

Hi, I saw you are interested in the project. So I just wanted to let you know that I am actively trying to revive it. See post on Misplaced Pages talk:Community Portal. Renata 03:55, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Re: Argentine vandal

I will, no problem. Homever, it seems that another edit war has started there, so I'll ask the administrator that protected 'em for another protection. Cheers. --OneEuropeanHeart 01:37, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

SIDE

Gracias por contribuir a la wiki de la SIDE. Me gustaría mucho si pudieras contribuir re escribiendo el texto un poco y wikificando las cosas. Así se le puede sacar la Cleanup tag que tiene desde hace meses.

Vengo escribiendo el artículo desde el año pasado, y practicamente lo escribi en su totalidad. Hoy por hoy es la mejor fuente de información sobre la Secretaría.

Si querés ver cosas que faltan, fijate en Talk:Secretaría de Inteligencia. O podés ayudar a terminar la traducción al español: en --San Marcos 18:26, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Templated Userboxes being "saved" by misunderstanding of process

Your comments at Deletion review are right on target, but I don't think people "get it" about Templated Userboxes. They see the attempt to move them from Template space as an attack on their "favorite" box, which is "funny," after all. I think mentioning "not funny" in the nominations skewed the discussion. So did posting Tfd notices on the boxes, which proves the point that they are being used for social networking, in violation of WP policy. Others seem willfully ignoring polices and guidelines. Anyway, I had to say this to someone. How disheartening that these apparently will all be saved in Template space, since all I see is "keep, keep, keep." <sigh> - Nhprman 20:20, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Community Justice Newsletter

Community Justice Newsletter

Welcome Previously, various notices regarding Community Justice have gone out to our members; though this is the first actual newsletter. This issue will contain information regarding decisions made on the first meeting, our new council, and more...! If you wish to unsubscribe to future newsletters, please add your name to Misplaced Pages:Community Justice/Do Not Spam. New Council Following our first elections, a new council has been elected.Computerjoe and Ian13 remain as chairman and chief executive (respectively); while Eddieh, Wiki alf and Xchrisblackx are replaced as councillors by Ilyanep, Osbus and Covington. The Giant Puffin and Pureblade remain as councillors. Member Conduct In the last meeting, the conduct of 4 members was discussed. Ethnopunk will be put on probation, supervised by Ian13, if he/she is incivil during this probation, he/she will be expelled from WP:CJ; the same was decided for Misza13 (voluntarily), and his probation will be supervised by Computerjoe. No action will be taken against Computerjoe. Barnstar The Civility Barnstar which our members have designed has been sent to Barnstar and award proposals. We'd appreciate your feedback! Also, we are planning to make a Community Justice barnstar to give to hard-working CJ members. If you're a budding designer, consider trying to make it, then post your proposal to WT:CJ! Name and logo change There has been no consensus reached regarding changing our name and/or logo neither at WT:CJ nor at WT:CJ/M/1. While suggestions are still welcome, no action will be taken at this time. Programs We are going to try to create programs to more actively involve our members. If you have any ideas, please drop a line at WT:CJ. We will try to work with WP:ESP on one of these programs, at some point in the future. Thanks! Thank you for your time. If you need anything, feel free to comment at WT:CJ or come into our IRC channel . Computerjoe wishes to extend his thanks to User:Robchurch, a non-member who assisted in making {{tracker}} redundant, as well as Misza13 for his continued support and to the whole of this and the previous council. This newsletter was delivered by CJBot, written by Computerjoe, with technical help from Misza13. Computerjoe's talk 19:30, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, {{cite web}} is not suitable for substing (please consider voting for bugzilla:2777 to fix this). May I ask you to clean up this? Thanks! --Ligulem 18:50, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Concordia newsletter

Concordia Newsletter

Community Justice is no more. It has been reformed to Concordia. Membership has been transferred.

Concordia is an organization of editors on Misplaced Pages that strive to encourage civility and fair treatment among all editors in the Wikipedian community, from the Wikignome to the Wikiholic. The project was designed to have a friendly and helpful environment to support any unfortunate Wikipedians that have become victims of incivility, hostility, or continual disrespect.

We currently need help in getting going, and making the community understand our aims. We work for civility. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you have ideas, let us know at our talk page, or on the IRC channel. We aim to spread civility in every way we can.

Should you wish to unsubscribe to future newsletters, please add your name to Misplaced Pages:Concordia/Do Not Spam.

Thank you for your time. If you need anything, feel free to comment at WT:CCD or come into our IRC channel .
