Hi, Drini I write to you since you left a welcome message on my talk page. I have been trying to eradicate all links to the disambiguation article
Ministry, so for now, all I have left is some sort of Portal (
Portal:Christianity) where it does not seem that my edits are working and a lot of user pages. So the questions: what should I do regarding the user pages put a polite note on the talkk page or ignore them? and how do I edit a Portal article? My goal is to remove it from the active list on the
Wikipedia:Disambiguation_pages_with_links.

Special:Whatlinkshere/Ministry

Clarification What I mean is that I can not edit the Portal:Christianity but somebody else did that for me. so that problem is now over. The reamining problem is what I do about userpags that link to a disambiguation page. Angelbo 21:33, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

The final outcome was (80/3/0), so I am now an administrator.

Thanks for your response. I can't remember how Stevens was described in the article. However, I'm not sure that your analogy with "being a singer" is correct given that there are only 20-25 Anglican Bishops in Australia as shown at Anglican Church of Australia. We also have a category for Anglican bishops Category:Anglican bishops. -- JJay 23:37, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Since you've already been involved in this, I'd like your advice. I've moved a stub from Ferrusi Rick to Rick Ferrusi. I now see however that this article has been previously deleted (rightly) as a copyvio, and that the talk page is protected.
The talk page has a notice on it using a template that I think was designed for use on articles, not talk pages, and which links to yet another copy of the deleted copyvio material, in a non-standard namespace. Andrewa 05:46, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Regarding
your question, I'm not sure why it's there but I'm guessing it's so that if the message is subst
ituted on a talk page, someone looking at the message can easily see that originated from the template, which is especially helpful for budding vandal-fighters. —

I saw that you deleted Pig's latest attack on me, at my user site. I don't know what his problem is, but I thank you for excising his venom.

I'm still not totally sure why every kid in admin school needs two coaches, but I guess more can't possibly hurt, right? In any case, I'm glad that you're both here to do whatever it is you do. I'm definitely not ready for an RFA, but I'm hoping the coaching I get here will help me on my way. Communicating by posting everything onto each others' talkpages seems a little inefficient though, especially since there's two of you. IRC does sound like a better solution, and email could work here too.
I look forward to a vicious and painful trial by fire!

04:11, 24 January 2006 (UTC)According to Locke Cole (the uploader of the non-IE-safe SVG icon from which this IE-safe PNG version was derived), it's a lookalike from an LGPL icon set. I noted this in the description, and you might have considered entertaining the possibility, rather than dismissing it out of hand.
You've repeatedly referred to this as the original Firefox logo (and you even cited Mozilla's "identity guidelines"), so it seems that you've decided to assume bad faith (despite the fact that I'm the person who went to the trouble of assembling the GPL icon to which you reverted). — David Levy 14:18, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Drini,
I am new to Wikipedia and made a mistake in the debate entry for Sea Snipers (in how I signed my name). I did correct it.
What I am unsure about is why the Sea Snipers article was deleted...how is non-notable determined? SSShooter 03:34, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
I see that you deleted the poodle crossbreed pages that were being nominated for deletion. I'm wondering how you decided that the discussion on the topic was a consensus for deletion! As you can see, the voters are 50/50 for delete vs. keep, and you should note that the original nominator withdrew his "delete" vote and changed it to a neutral after reconsidering. Furthermore, it is confusing to me that we've decided to delete these poodle crossbreed pages because qualities apparently don't always breed true (so therefore there's no valid information on them, according to Trysha). However, we've decided NOT to delete the Goldendoodle and Cockapoo pages because although they are also a "roll of the dice," those are arbitrarily defined as too notable to delete! How can we simply define which poodle crossbreeds are notable and which ones are not? I urge you to reconsider your decision to delete these pages. - Vontafeijos 05:41, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi Drini! Thank you for picking up the vandalism on my user page. It was quite an amusing one, wasn't it?!? Regards, CLW 08:57, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Since you're an Admin, you'd probably be most able to answer this:
Is it acceptable form to post my own (fiction) writing on my user page? I understand that there's an issue with unsolicited changes by other users, but I thought I might try vandalproofing using a similar method to yours. Since most of my work is pretty tame, I don't suppose there's a (NSFW) tag requirement? Orange & Viridian 10:54, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Drini:
I am curious as to why you deleted my definition/ article on Rocabu. I explaned that I was the author and granted GFDL rights to it. Would getting an email from my friend and Jewish scholar Richard Berke help with verification?

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 Wikipedia: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! --

Hi Drini! Sorry about the goof there. I left a note on Jossi's talk page, thanking him for fixing my mistake. I also explained there what I think happened. To summarize: I was on RC patrol when I saw the vandalism to your page and reverted the same time that Zzyzx11 did. So in the collision, I ended up accidentally reverting Zzyzx11's revert (Edit #1). I immediately caught my mistake and reverted back to him (Edit #2). At that point, I thought all was taken care of. At that point, I made yet another mistake that I didn't catch at first. I used the BACK button on my browser to return to the Recent Changes page. In so doing, I backed up through my original "Edit #1" revert. Since I was using Lupin's popup tool, the bad revert was resubmitted without me even realizing it. Jossi was quick to pick up on my mistake and fixed it on my behalf. I left him a note of thanks in return. Anyway, I hope that explains the error. -- ShinmaWa( talk) 05:54, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
