My RFA and your vote

Hi Arnold, Thanks for participating in my RFA! Ultimately, no consensus was reached, but I still appreciate the fact that you showed up to add in your two cents. You can feel free to talk to me about it or add some advice on my improvement page. Sincerely, The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me)

Thanks

Thanks

I've gotta think/pray/discuss this for a little bit. Do you mind if I hold off on accepting for like 24 hours? alphaChimp ^laudare 06:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

You've got a Thank you card!

Open your card!

Dear Arnold, thank you so much for your beautiful words, your kidness and your trust in me. My Request for Adminship is finally over, and the support and appreciation that the community has gifted me will stick in my mind as long as I live. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me, and all I can tell you is, I'll try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, make sure to come here and give me a good yell! :) Seriously, tho, if you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you'll always be welcome to message me, and I promise I'll try my very best.
Despite I've never had the pleasure of talking to you until now, dear Arnold, know that your name is one I am familiar with, and I know you're a great editor and an awesome person. From this day on, I also consider you my friend, and I'd be happy and honored if you consider me as your own. With a big hug, your friend,

Phaedriel ♥ tell me

I think he needs his talk page protected from his editing it as he's continuing to blank it.--Crossmr 17:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar

Thanks for the Barnstar! I just had some kind of bizarre desire to expand SkyTrain articles today. =S Carson 04:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Userpage

It's amazing. I just saw the new version for the first time. Nice job =). alphaChimp ^laudare 02:37, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

haha, I might just make it. Thanks a lot for the really nice nomination. The WP:100 would definitely be an honor. I'll stay in touch. alphaChimp ^laudare 02:50, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Rock on

Brilliant user page! Incidentally, what language did you make this auto-block in? [1]? -- Samir धर्म 02:48, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Must be a bug... odd... it's being discussed on WP:AN (but I'm guessing you know that already). Cheers -- Samir धर्म 02:52, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Location of Chinatown

Hi; just got in late so am not in the mood to think about wording/order, but noted the absence of Gastown and Strathcona on your edit/re-edit of the Chinatown location paragraph; when I first found it the text was a whine about being located next to the DE, as if it was Chinatown's problem only; but Gastown is definitely in need of mentioning, as is Strathcona...maybe you'll get to it before I do, and I shouldn't be so lazy. But I've been out for the evening, and after hearing some musicians I met at ArtsWells play at the Railway I took them to the On Lok and it's now 2:52....Skookum1 09:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential! What's New? In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs. To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed! The In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, Freakofnurture, and Titoxd 05:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

Degrassi Templates

I'm not too good with templates, so feel free to add an image if you want. That would be wonderful. andrew 05:34, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
