Revision as of 02:48, 24 November 2007
Welcome!
Hello, ChazJS, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! --Flockmeal 20:52, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)
Graft, what other articles have you edited? I'd like to read them.CJS102793 18:56, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Uh - that's a little ghoulish, maybe, but fortunately Misplaced Pages enables such stalker-like impulses (in the spirit of "community-building", maybe) via the "User contributions" page. Just click on the link to my User page (my name) and then click "User contributions" (probably in the sidebar on the lower-left). Graft 19:06, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
The logo doesn't appear twice on the Delta page -- they are two different logos. Anyway, when you removed one you messed up the formatting, so please preview in the future. Thanks. CryptoDerk 16:57, May 1, 2005 (UTC)
moves and deletions
Don't selectively delete discussions from talk pages. Refactoring is allowed and encouraged, but that does not entail deleting a single section, especially not one you've been asked to not delete before. Also, do not move important pages without first discussing. it. The title for the September 11 page was long argued, and your move was grammatically incompetent. —Ben Brockert (42) 21:40, May 11, 2005 (UTC)
- And please don't blank my user page again. Thanks. --Heron 11:49, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
Your RfA
Hi, CJS. I highly recommend you withdraw your self-nomination for adminship. With less than 150 edits, you are almost certainly going to be opposed by most (if not all) of the voters who frequent the Requests for adminship forum. I recommend editing Misplaced Pages and getting some more experience for a while before you re-apply. Generally, 1000 edits is seen as a bare minimum, and you are probably better off waiting until you have about 3000. In addition, a lot of voters like to see the use of edit summaries when you're editing pages; that way people looking through their Watchlists or the page history can easily see what your edit was about. Also, the things you said you wanted to do as an admin, such as reverting vandalism and getting rid of POVs, can be done with your current editing privileges. I hope you keep contributing to Misplaced Pages and come back to apply for adminship again in the future. Good luck. —Cleared as filed. 00:46, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
Sockpuppets
Hello, someone (I hope it's not you) has used sockpuppets to raise your support tally at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/CJS102793. All their edits have been reverted. Mushroom 21:45, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
Blanking
I see that you have blanked Template:Rfalinkonly and your RfA. If you want to withdraw your nomination, just say it and your request for adminship will be archived. Template:Rfalinkonly is a useful template, so please do not blank it. Mushroom 22:05, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
Admin nomination
You nomination for adminship has now closed, and unfortunately you were not successful on this occasion. I hope that you will continue to contribute to Misplaced Pages and might consider standing again in future. Bear in mind that the main " "objection" was that voters wanted to see more of your edits! Warofdreams talk 22:53, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for participating on my RfA
Thanks for participating in my RfA. The final vote was 57/4/3. I hope I don't disappoint those who voted support, and that those who didn't won't wish they'd campaigned more strongly in opposition. Tomer 03:24, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Marilyn Manson move
Please don't move an article that is currently featured on the main page. violet/riga (t) 23:05, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Parthia
Why did you move this article to Parthian Empire? There's no explanation on the talk page, nor any indication from you at all as to why this was done. siafu 14:55, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- Still waiting for an explanation on this one. siafu 16:07, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
- This doesn't have to be an edit war; please join the discussion on the talk page at Talk:Parthia instead of simpling moving the page back again. siafu 03:42, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Stop moving Parthia to Parthian Empire. There was an RFC on the question after you pulled this stunt last time, and the consensu was very clear, as you can see on the talk page. siafu 21:55, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome, ChazJS, to Esperanza, the Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages a better place to work!

An Esperanzial note
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 Misplaced Pages: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! --Celestianpower 16:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Another Esperanzial note...
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,
--Celestianpower 09:00, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Old Skool Esperanzial note
Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Celestianpower 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject NASCAR proposed standards
WikiProject NASCAR needs your help! We are in the process of forming our proposed standards which, when complete, will hopefully become a Misplaced Pages guideline. The guidelines will help editors understand Misplaced Pages consensus about things like which NASCAR-related articles meet notability standards. Please stop by and let us know what you think! Recury 22:39, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
A short Esperanzial update
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 Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.
Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Redirects
Just to make sure you have the format right, you had set up ORH as:
- ], which doesn't work.
The needed format is:
- #REDIRECT ]
- I fixed the entry. Hope this helps. Fan-1967 16:53, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Full House DVD releases
Why do you keep editing the DVD releases section in the "Full House" article? "Happy Birthday, Babies" (season five) and "Michelle Rides Again" (season eight) originally aired as one-hour episodes (which were split into two parts for syndication)! Gabrielkat 21:49, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the AMA!
Hello Chaz, I see that you have decided to join the AMA (we're a little late with this one). I'll be the first to say welcome! We're always in need of more advocates, especially since were backloged most of the time. Just a few pointers for what we do. We communicate by putting a template on our talk page. The template is {{AMA alerts}}. The AMA also has it's own IRC channel which reports new cases to us, and also new alerts. If you'd like to jump right into a case, you can check out WP:AMARQ, which is our new request for advocacy system. The instructions for how the technical part works is on the talk page. You can also use the AMA userboxes that appear under here. If you have anymore questions about the organization, just ping any advocates talk page, including our coordinator, Steve. Again, welcome to the AMA!
Hello Chaz. I am Wikiwoohoo, deputy co-ordinator of the AMA. I wanted to extend my thanks to you for joining the AMA. Just a note, the association's current meeting is now on at AMA Meeting/December 2006. If you would like to comment on any of the ongoing discussion then you are very welcome to. I hope to see you around. Wikiwoohoo 18:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Regarding Association of Members' Advocates
Hi, you are receiving this message because you have listed yourself as an active member of WP:AMA. If you aren't currently accepting inquiries for AMA, or if you have resigned, please de-list yourself from Misplaced Pages:AMA Members. If you are still active, please consider tending to any new requests that may appear on Category:AMA Requests for Assistance. We're going to put AMA on wheels. :) Sorry for the template spamming - we're just trying to update our records, after we had a huge backlog earlier in the week (if you've been taking cases, then sorry, and please ignore this :)). Again, sorry, and thanks! Martinp23 20:55, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject roller coasters
Hi there, just to let you know that WP:ROCO has been given an overhaul. As you are listed as a participant, I just thought I'd let you know that there's a new to-do section and much clearer guidelines for roller coaster articles. Hope to see you over there!
