Warning Hello you seem to be a busy body! Please leave me alone! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.9.67.107 (talk • contribs) 18:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello! Sorry, as long as you continue to vandalize user pages, I cannot leave you alone. However, you are welcome to read Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers and Wikipedia:Five pillars if you are interested in contributing constructively to our encyclopedia. Thanks for your message! EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 18:45, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thankyou note

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. Gershwinrb 21:50, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. It seems Gershwinrb and I were vandalized by the same person. This person apparently created a vanity article which I deleted months ago. But he wants it back now and doesn't know how to send a message to users. Academic Challenger 23:21, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Elections

Hello EWS23. I have checked the votes, and they appear to be in order.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 03:15, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar!

Wow, my first barnstar! I'm so honored. Thank you Natalya! :o) :o) EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 19:19, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

You are most certainly welcome - you absoultely deserve it! I just can't believe this is your first! -- Natalya 20:47, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. :o) I don't mind flying under the radar most of the time. The bottom line is that the work gets done. :o) EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 06:20, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Augusta of Saxe-Gotha

Sorry, I didn't know. I just thought it was a better title for it. Would you mind changing the title? The princess part doesn't really need to be there.

Note: This message was intended for User:Titoxd, and was brought to his attention. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 06:20, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] May the Force be with you.

Dear EWS23/Archive 5,

Thanks for voting on my RFA! I appreciate your faith in me, and was overwhelmed by the positive response to my RFA; for it shows that at least I'm doing something right. :) I've started working to improve myself already, and I hope that next time, things run better, and maybe, just maybe, one day we can bask on the shores of Admintopia together. Thanks and cheers, _-M o P-_ 21:50, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redwall

By all means be my guest, the section does need a lot of work, and I don't really have time to do a proper job, so go for it. Have fun, if you need any help, let me know--Jackyd101 02:38, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

That is much better, it is well laid out, and actually explains to the uniniated what Redwall is. There are parts which do need further expanision (and I think the criticism section may still be too long), but its a good start.--Jackyd101 07:19, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Extreme Environments

Eric,

It's me again. I know I've been asking a lot of stuff from you, but what other extreme environments do you know of, other than: deep sea, volcanoes, (anything to do with deep sea-sea vents etc.), caves, polar ice caps, space and desserts. Also, do you know much about the Ben Franklin (submersible)? It was the one where six men had to go into the Gulf Stream for thirty days. --Abbopa 03:16, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More Redwall

Hi EW, I've noticed that you seem quite knowledgeable on the Redwall series, and I'd like to invite you to participate on the actual Redwall wiki resource, http://redwall.wikia.com We are always in need of more editors. You don't need to respond to this message. --LordTBT 09:23, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

Thanks for changing my talk page. I didn't even realize that when I stole it from Almac. Just one quick question though: How'd you come across my user page? schyler 12:42, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Extreme Environments and Submarines

Eric,

Thanks for all your help again... very helpful. I've especially chose to study deep sea, as an extreme environment. I know of most deep sea fish (that are identified-thanks) and I now know about the Ben Franklin. There's some cool diving geer, one of which being the Newt suit. It's really quite cool. Ever heard of it?Abbopa 21:32, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

Administrator Coaching The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service. This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. Stressbusters The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome! Note from the editor As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!

The last AC meeting (full log) Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon. Signed...

[edit] User:24.144.84.178. report on WP:RFI

Despite my slowness in getting back to you I did actually act on that report pretty quickly... I don't know if you noticed but as I suspected something fishy I posted on WP:ANI for confirmation, and the account (yes it's a registered user, not an IP) has been blocked indefinitely for impersonating Jimbo's IP address. And yes the report was to the right place- it was "complicated, deceptive vandalism". The main problem with that page is getting enough admins to watch it/do something about things there, hence the need to push some things to ANI to get some attention. Cheers, Petros471 19:06, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not-so-random acts of kindness

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		Thanks for your comments and inspiration on Wikipedia talk:Esperanza. I think you've given a very succinct explanation of what Esperanza should be about, even during this difficult time. It might even help me change my mind and come back, despite recent turmoil. Elkman - (talk) 16:47, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reply...

Hi Eric, sorry I couldn't think of a better subject/headline... oh well. Yes, my studies are going well, thanks again for the pages about the Newt suit. I saw the second page already, but that's okay. :0) Abbopa 01:10, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Isn't it time...

...that you were on WP:RFA? I'm not sure how your admin coaching is getting on as your AC page says it's taking place on IRC, but I keep on thinking the above question. If you would like I could take a proper look at your contributions to double check you are ready and then give you a nomination? Or would you rather wait for your admin coaches to do the work? (I certainly don't mind if you'd rather they did it, but on the other hand if you think you are ready I'd be delighted to nominate you!) Petros471 19:58, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Ok, of course I understand you wanting to talk with your coaches first (if I was your coach, I'd probably want to be asked :-) I'll take a good look though, and let you know if there is anything that seems missing. Cheers, Petros471 20:16, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I've gone back to the start of 2006 and I'm finding it extremely difficult to find a single contribution that could be considered bad. The worst I've found so far is the edit summary "revert newbie test", as it uses the word 'newbie' (some people may find that slightly offensive). I stress, that is not a horrendous thing by any stretch of the imagination- and I'm sure you were only using that summary to avoid using the word 'vandalism' to avoid BITE in the first place!

What I've found good so far: Always civil, always assuming good faith, great use of edit summaries, enough edits to satisfy 'those who count', enough distribution of edits to satisfy the same, good familiarity with policy and process, good understanding of consensus, erm do you want me to go on or is this embarrassing you ;)

Things that might possibly be brought up in an RfA (I don't actually think you'll fail on any of these but it'd be nice to know the answers): Have you done much reporting of vandalism (e.g. to WP:AIV) to 'prove' that you would use the block button? Have you made many significant article edits in terms of expansion or creation? Personally, if you've read my RfA, or some of the ones I've contributed to, you would know that I don't believe this one to be vital to becoming an admin. However some people do oppose based on this, although not enough to make an RfA fail (in my case at least). Petros471 21:02, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't mind Petros getting the honors, and I don't see anything that makes me say no, so go ahead. :) Titoxd^{(?!? - help us)} 22:38, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deep Space

Hi Eric,

I was wondering if you had any good websites for special equipment used to go very far out in space. Abbopa 16:28, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wuice

Thanks for the interesting link. User:Zoe|^(talk) 17:30, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects

Little of column A, little of column B. The correct title of the show has a capital "B", so those should be changed, the others... just felt "the need", I guess. And I read that thing, but I was just ignoring that little section. Thanks for the note and advice, though. Cheers. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 22:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deep Space

Hi Eric,

You said that you could give info about probes for Uranus, Neptune, Pluto... and beyond. Have any good websites those? Abbopa 22:56, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks so much. From now on I'll know how to revert a page. I was wondering how people did that... :) Emily ^{(Funtrivia Freak)} 01:15, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for your kind words about my little parody. I was quite pleased with the way it turned out. Bucketsofg✐ 04:32, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Italian-American Neighborhoods

Okay, I'll fix targets. --Deathphoenix ʕ 01:52, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:RfA for EWS23

Well, I've talked to Titoxd and he seems to agree that I'm ready for an RfA. [1] He said that since you requested the nom, you get it. So, as long as you are still willing, I would be honored if you would nominate me when you have the time to write one up. Thanks for all your help and support, and let me know if you have any more questions or comments. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 02:46, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Great :) I'll be working on your nomination at User:Petros471/EWS23 RFA, feel free to work on your answers to the standard questions there. Once we've finished working on the draft one of us can move it to the official Wikipedia RFA namespace and off it goes :) As I'm sure you realise, my nomination is no guarantee of success. Whilst obviously I think you're ready (and I'm sure plenty of others will as well), you never know what everyone will think! Petros471 08:52, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

It's there. Happy clicking that watchlist button! Good luck. Petros471 18:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for info again...

Thanks again for all your help!Abbopa 15:51, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I never thought of going to the Science reference desk...

[edit] New user

Thanks for the discussion regarding House. I just made this wiki name. It reflects a favourite novel of mine! Thank you! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JasonBourne2007 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] RfA thanks

[edit] Your RFA

Well its looking like you will be an admin. If you do get it I wanted to congrats you early (and be the first) as im sure you cant fail with like 62 support and 0 oppose and neutral. --Actown ^e 06:07, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for continuing to revert vandalism to my user page. I just noticed that you quickly reverted a particularly vicious vandalistic edit, and looking through the page history and our previous discussions it seems that you have reverted my user page 5 or 6 times now. Good luck on your adminship. Academic Challenger 08:14, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit History

Eric,

how do you look at a page's edit history?Abbopa 16:29, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit history

Hi Eric, thanks for helping me out, I didn't see the history tab at the top of the page. Abbopa 01:14, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Eric,

can you see other user's user pages if you don't have an account? If so, how? Abbopa 01:15, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

[edit] BOPP'D!

[edit] Thank-you

The count is in, and now I join the crew who wield the mops and pails. Thanks for your support! I pledge to serve both you and Jimbo Wales. If you have anything you need, then please don't think to hesitate. For I am the very model of a grateful admin designate! ♫Bucketsofg✐♪

[edit] Re: Changing User Name

Hi! I believe the page you're looking for is Wikipedia:Changing username. Follow the directions on that page to get a bureaucrat to change your username. Let us know if you have any more questions! EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 03:51, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

It asks me to ask to see a bureaucrat or a steward... I don't know what that means!!! --WIKISCRIPPS 07 TUE MAY 23 2006 12:07 AM EDT

Hi! If you just want to change your name on the English Wikipedia (which I'm assuming is the case), then all you have to do is list your name at this section. Let me know if you have any more questions. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 04:10, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

One problem... I already moved all of my stuff to the desired article!!! How can I move everything back to User:WIKISCRIPPS2005 with the associated talk page??? --User:WIKISCRIPPS2005 TUE MAY 23 2006 12:18 AM EDT

I can try to make the request for you. I'm assuming you want to change User:WIKISCRIPPS2005 to User:WIKISCRIPPS 07? EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 04:24, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Absolutely!!! But I want to know why I can't do it on my know through my preferences??? That option doesn't seem to be available for me... Why?? --User_talk:WIKISCRIPPS 07 TUE MAY 23 2006 12:29 AM EDT

Changing a username is a change that currently can't be done via "My Preferences." It has to be done by a bureaucrat. I've listed your request at Wikipedia:Changing username. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 04:38, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks man... I owe you one!!! --WIKISCRIPPS 07 TUE MAY 23 2006 5:24 PM EDT

[edit] Meteorology article

BIG improvement, thanks. The only thing I could think of that could be further improved is defining the terms like persistence BEFORE mentioning them in that paragraph. Besides that, it reads much better. Good work. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 09:43, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations

You're now an admin after an impressive showing of community support. I recommend using the tools conservatively, especially at first, and re-reading the policies before acting. Take anything potentially controversial to the administrator's noticeboard, and have fun saving the world with your new powers. :) - Taxman ^Talk 18:33, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First congrats now it's official

Well as I didn't want to jump the gun, I didn't drop by with my congrats until now. Enjoy your new tools; I don't think I need to give you too many warnings about using them carefully as you'll do that anyway! It was a pleasure to nominate you, I'm glad I found such a easy candidate for my first attempt :) Petros471 18:35, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations!

Congratulations on your successful RfA! Something tells me IRC is going to get a lot quieter now, with you being so busy and all. :P DakPowers (Talk) 19:05, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure you will, and congrats! Now that you're an admin, I will have to invite you to the sekrit cabal channel ;)--Shanel ^§ 23:59, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

• Not much I can say, as I didn't do much, except that the outpouring of support is representative of the quality of the job you've done so far. Congratulations, and if you need anything, please let me know too. Titoxd^{(?!? - help us)} 04:10, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Best wish for your adminship. In response to what you just said "Hopefully I'll continue to run into you around the project", there is one thing that I would like to suggest you to do. While I am not an admin here, I do watch Special:Contributions/newbies for images without source or copyright info and I have tagged many of them. Since you are now an admin, you have the power to delete articles, images, and the like, so problem images should be deleted according to policies. (Deleted images cannot be undeleted here, so please be careful as well.)--Jusjih 13:28, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Monobook

Ok I made some changes to the monobook. Please go into it and change:

Mvaluejsadmin = 'NOTSET';
Rvaluejsadmin = 'NOTSET';

...to the values of your choice for "revert all moves" and "revert edits(master rollback)" respectively. This is there to stop people in the same room as you from being jerks. And congrats on the admining...you now have a lot of tools, including JS, and JS that amplifies admin powers (you can revert hundreds of edits/moves with two clicks and a confirm, for vandals).Voice-of-All^Talk 03:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

One note, noticed on Voice of All/UsefullJS, it says "IMPORTANT: You must select "16:12, January 15, 2001" for the date format in your preferences for this to work." Make sure that you do that for the history tool to work.Voice-of-All^Talk 07:53, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Eric! I'd be more than happy to help redesign your userpage. (Highway's is one of my favorites, too. :D) My talk page is open to suggestions or comments on your preferences, but as I have final exams next week, my access may be limited for some time. Just a heads-up. :) Regards, Sango123 (e) 20:33, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nice

While you have my sympathies as far as attending the University of Washington goes , congrats on becoming an administrator. Have you ever been to the east side of this beautiful (though weird-weathered) state? There's good stuff there--probably would remind you a bit more of Texas than Seattle does. Oh, and congrats on graduating next month, too. See you around! Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 23:16, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lake Charles

I thought it was a small, pleasant place to live. When I was there in the late 1990's, the interns were a dynamic bunch and a number of published and in-house papers were produced. Houston is only two hours away, with New Orleans 3 1/2 hours in the other direction. Steve is a good boss; I liked working for him. Several people I worked with there are still at the office.

My dear Eric, it is always a pleasure to see a name I'm familiar with attain his/her right to wield he mop - and in your case, an even greater pleasure, for despite the fact that we have never talked before, I've seen nothing but kindness, respect and a will to make this a better place in you. Your message meant a lot to me, and rest assured that you now hold a place as one of my wikifriends, and I thankfully accept your offer to share my thoughts and problems with you - as long as you promise to count on me should you ever need to talk to a friend as well. Please, don't worry about that incident on my talk page; so many nice people like you around make in excess for the deeds of a single person. Thank you, dear Eric!

Woopsie, thanks. Weird that the edit conflict warning didn't come up. But then, it's failed a few times under similar circumstances. Oh well, time to move on. Thanks for the fix! --Deathphoenix ʕ 05:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ANI clutter

Err... yeah, having one extra small section asking for transparency on that bloody massive page really doesn't hurt anything. Next time you could try dropping a note on someone's talk, but I think a public "Oi! I did this!" is no problem. - brenneman ^{L} 04:14, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Just to drop by here- yes it's certainly experience that helps with knowing what is 'ANI worthy' or not. Some of my 'newcomer admin' posts there have just been plain ignored- which I've taken to mean 'fine, no comment'. I also sometimes ask people on IRC if I'm considering making a block. Like asking "do you think a block of x time is appropriate for y offence?". Petros471 08:46, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

When I'm on IRC I'm usually in the CVU vandalism channel. Evenings (1630-2100 UTC sort of time). However, I haven’t been on much recently, as I'm usually there either when on vandal patrol or working on RFI (two things I haven't done much of recently while I've had all my work to do, speaking of which I'd better get back to...).

[edit] Administrators

Wow! I didn't know that you are an administrator! Also, yes, it might be a great idea to find the right administrator, because I contacted one, and that administrator didn't reply back to me. Abbopa 18:41, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spicy

Name any random spicy food. I'll tell you why later. Abbopa 20:55, 27 May 2006 (UTC) :0)

[edit] Renovation complete

I hope you like the blue theme. :) Do you want to have it implemented on your talk page as well? If you wish to have anything changed, don't hesitate to drop me a line! Cheers, Sango123 (e) 22:31, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:BEANS

The problem with defining specific numbers with a guide such as this (particularly where not absolutely clear-cut) is that it becomes self-reinforcing. New people read the guide, interpret this as the way they should vote, and thus a criterion which wasn't necessarily a given before becomes such. This was behind much of the battle that followed the creation of that guide, and I've got some of the same concerns about raising bars now. Rebecca 07:41, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

No objection to that. :) Rebecca 08:03, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hmm...

I thought your name was familiar...congrats on becoming an admin - I must have missed it! --HappyCamper 19:55, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gumbo

Gumbo. Never heard of that, but it sounds pretty interesting. I don't really like spicy food myself, but my nephew is doing a spicy food experiment. Abbopa 02:10, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blnguyen's RfA

Hello EWS23, fellow election staffer. Thank you for your full support and gracious comment at my request for adminship which ended at the overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0), and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation. You can see me in action and observe what then happened as a result. Naturally, if I make any procedural mistakes, feel free to point them out. I look forward to working with you in the future.
