Unfortunately, it failed to reach consensus. Nonetheless, it proved an opportunity to establish contacts and cooperation with many supportive editors, which will be beneficial to editing Misplaced Pages in the future. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters (t @) |

Hey Mervo, did you know I was the person called sir mod steve on RS1? Fkmd 07:32, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Nah I was only Mod for two weeks before the evil Rab set me up and made me get sacked from JaGex, I gave away a Magic Bow within 2 hours of them coming out. I worked with Andrew, Paul and Ian who were the original staff at Cambridge. Fkmd 07:42, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Succesful RfA!

Thank you for your support during my RfA! The community has decided to make me an administrator, and there's work to be done. I look forward to seeing you around the project in the future, and if you see me do anything dumb, let me know right away! Regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 23:22, 27 January 2006 (UTC) |

Hi, you recently commented on bible-verse articles, and may therefore be interested in commenting about a proposed policy covering roughly 50 specific verses:

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)

Wikipediology Elections
Voting for the positon of Regent Ñ will begin on February 5th at the voting page. All candidates should list themselves there before then. Please take the time to vote, and become more active in the Wikipediology Institute. Thanks - Pureblade | 04:40, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
My RfA
I really appreciate your support for my admin nomination, especially with me being a relatively new user. Cheers, OhNoitsJamie 04:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
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 Banez 17:06, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

My RFA
Hi Merovingian, thanks for participating in my RfA discussion. Unfortunately, my fellow Wikipedians have decided at this time that I am not suitable to take on this additional responsibility, as the RfA failed with a result of 66/27/5 (71.0% support). If you voted in support of my request, thank you! If you decided to oppose me at this time, then I hope that if I do choose to reapply in the future, the effort I will make in the meantime to improve and expand my contributions to Misplaced Pages may persuade you to reconsider your position. All the best, Proto t c 10:29, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Two questions
On your page for the Association for Inclusionists Wikipedians, why is Wikiliberal a dead link? Also, why are you listed as inactive on your user page. You seem to be very active. Thanks!--Beth Wellington 22:18, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

RFA
Hi, just wanted to thank you for voting on my RFA, which went through with a count of (58/0/1), far better than I'd expected. I intend to take things slowly and start using the extra abilities gradually, but if there's anything I can do just leave a message. Cheers, CTOAGN (talk) 13:42, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Participant alert regarding Wikiproject on Advertising
The Wikiproject No Ads, created as a backlash against the Answers.com deal, has served an important function in providing a space for users to express their disagreement with the Foundation proposal. While the current controversies about userboxes raise questions about political and social advocacy on Misplaced Pages, there should be greater flexibility regarding advocacy about Misplaced Pages in the Misplaced Pages namespace. Reported and linked by Slashdot and other press sources as a unique and spontaneous occurence in Misplaced Pages history, it has apparently had some impact as, despite being scheduled to begin in January, not a peep has been heard about the trial and proposed sponsored link since the deal's controversial announcement months ago. Currently, however, there is an attempt to delete the project or move it off Misplaced Pages altogether. Since the Foundation has provided no additional information and has not attempted to answer the specific questions that participants in the project raised, it is unclear if the Answers.com deal has been abandoned or simply delayed. Until the situation becomes more clear, I believe the group should still have a place in the Misplaced Pages namespace. Sincerely, Tfine80 00:23, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
RfD
I am workign on cleaning up the begining of some indexes of articles who's characters don't start with an alphanumeric. I have nominated ((((っ´ω｀)っ, a redirect you created for deletion. Redirects are cheap, and if this is being used please let me know where and I will withdraw the nom, else it can run it's course on RfD. Thanks, xaosflux /CVU 14:34, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
Katie Holmes
Greetings! You commented on the article Katie Holmes when it was on WP:FAC. I've redone the article and hope to renominate it on FAC soon. But in the meantime, I'd be grateful for your comments on WP:PR at Misplaced Pages:Peer review/Katie Holmes. PedanticallySpeaking 21:07, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
Three weeks of admin tools
Today three weeks have passed since I was granted access to the administrator toolbox. During this time I have made use of it in the following way:
- Protections and unprotections: 1
- Blocks and unblocks: 4
- Deletions and restorations: 69
- Rollbacks: 246
I've found that the rollback tool is much more useful than I'd thought for vandalism patrol. In fact it makes that task so easy that I've been doing it more than before. On the other hand I've been surprised by how little the blocking tool is needed. Having done a significant amount of vandalism patrol I have still only blocked one solitary vandal. The great majority of addresses which send out a vandal edit do so only once. Those who do it more often usually stop after a warning or two. Only rarely is a block actually needed and in those cases someone usually beats me to it.
As a side note I haven't retired from writing articles either. I'm still hoping to bring Freyr up to featured status but even though I've already performed more edits on it than on Hrafnkels saga back in the day, a lot of work remains to be done. Community expectations for featured articles have gone up and so have my own ambitions. I'm currently waiting for a couple of books I ordered to arrive and then I may be able to make the final push.
I'm trying my best to live up to the trust you showed in me by supporting my RFA. If ever you feel uncertain whether I'm using the admin tools in the best interests of the project, let me know. I am at any time willing to relinquish the mop and reapply for it to address concerns people have and ensure that I'm not using the admin tools without being trusted to do so.

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,

Good luck!
Hey Merovingian, I hear you. Junior year is making me cut back as well. It's a lot of pressure; SATs, college stuff, etc. Anyway, I figured I'd stop by and give you my regards. Good luck with everything! Robert 03:39, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi. You voted in support of Alex Bakharev his previous RfA, and I just wanted to let you know that there's a second one at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Alex Bakharev 2. --Khoikhoi 03:11, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Kaiser Permanente
Hi, Merovingian - you left a nice welcome note on my talk page a couple of months ago, and I'm wondering if I can call on you now. An admin FCYTravis got another admin to protect the Kaiser Permanente page after another high level Wikipedian (not sure if he's an admin) Omsbudsman had made a plea for developing the page. I had already offered to address ]'s sourcing concerns on the Talk page. I feel like FCYTravis has some sort of emotional investment since he's using words like "fuck" and "stupid" in the edit summaries, and it's possibly because (according to his user page) he lives in an area that's dominated by Kaiser as an employer. I believe the Third Party admin who protected the page just saw what FYCTravis was making a request to a fellow admin, and he didn't check the Talk page for my request for help with the sourcing. Is there anything you can do to get this page unprotected again?
I'd also like to remove the Peer Review request (I was told this was inappropriate by TantalumTelluride - and I put a request in the Delete queue tonight: just not sure if I formatted it properly) and the NPOV label (there are many POVs in play, but this label was placed by someone trying to devalue everyone else's opinion, and he hasn't been around for a few weeks. I believe the only appropriate label at this point is the "Cleanup" one. I would appreciate any help you can offer in dealing with all this. --Pansophia 09:04, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Universism DRV
Hi, Merovingian, you voted to undelete the Universism article last year. The outcome of that VFD shelved the article until March 2006. However, the issue has come up again just shy of that date, the article is again undergoing a DRV. Since last year, Universism has been featured in many media outlets, including the LA Times and CNN's Anderson Cooper 360. Would you please vote again in favor of undeleting the article? --Mindbender 20:28, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for voting! Although this is a bit late in coming, I want to thank you for voting (no matter what your vote was) in my recent request for adminship. You might be aware that it did not pass due to a lack of consensus. The final tally was 21/9/10. I think I will try again this spring or summer after I have gained a bit more experience and met a few more fellow editors. Thanks again! |

I recall that you had many of the more contentious userboxes (like me). Please comment on my counteroffer on the talk page of Doc's userbox proposal. --Dragon695 06:30, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Katelyn Faber
Could you weigh in at the bottom of the Talk Page for Katelyn Faber regarding the inclusion of an image of her?
