Doppelganger Accounts Hey Clockwork: I added a new template that has been created for pre-emptive "Doppelganger accounts" (take a look) to the Jimbo Wa"i"es doppelganger you created to prevent vandalism under Jimbo's name. TenOfAllTrades and I are working on a proposed policy for these accounts, and we've used this Doppelganger as an example because the potential "victim" (Jimbo) is so high profile. I hope you won't mind my presumptuousness. Essjay · talk 02:28, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC) still active? Hi - I see you've made no edits since 21 May. If you're still about you might want to comment on an edit I made at Wikipedia talk:List of administrators about presumed inactive administrators. I hope to see you around. -- Rick Block (talk) 05:30, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC) about the welcome message I hope you become active very soon. anyway... do you mind if I use the welcome message you posted on my talk page. I used it on few places replacing things with my name. It was well written so yeah. I hope you don't mind that I already used it about three times. let me know if you do mind though. WB 03:48, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC) Wikipedia:Mind Benders Hello! I've noticed your interest in creating logos, barnstars, or your past artistic ability! Thus, I just wanted to let you know that the pre-round, an artistic competition, is now open at Wikipedia:Mind Benders (Shortcut: WP:MIND)! The competition is open to everyone and is seeking a logo/trophy, similar to Barnstars, to be placed on every winner's page. We urge you to help us out and submit an entry! Afterwards, the normal rounds, each consisting of ten or more fun, logical, brain-stimulating questions will open. Why don't you give it a try when it opens! Look forward to seeing your contribution. Thanks, Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 21:59, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC) Chinese characters & star names Hi ClockworkSoul, Your edits look good. I still think it would be worth mentioning that in Beijing dialect a hanzi doesn't necessarily represent a syllable, especially with the -r diminutive and in informal usage such as the character for library, since we mention such things for Japanese. (I'm not sure your comment "Each Chinese character is read as a single syllabic unit in all spoken variants of Chinese dialects still existing today" is entirely accurate.) I appreciate your offer to check on the star names. The article has recently been divided up into the 88 constellations, but if you could look over the old version in the archives to make sure everything's kosher, that would be wonderful. (Caution: this archived page is extremely slow to load in my browser: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_stars_by_constellation&oldid=14460076 , so it may not be worth the effort on your part.) kwami 18:23, 2005 Jun 22 (UTC) Aesthetic Realism I have stuck my nose, chin, and other parts into the AR controversy. The page is protected and we are editing a draft on a temp page. Just now I see that you asked two editors who requested mediation to "disengage" from editing. It appears that one heeded your request and the other didn't. So I've asked the one who did to come back and participate in the editing, in the hope that maybe we can get a version which is acceptable to all. I hope this is acceptable and I don't mean to interrupt an active mediation. Let me know if I should proceed differently or if you have any suggestions. You may reply using my email link if you prefer. Thanks, -Willmcw 21:12, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC) Threads (threaded) I noticed you've tried the idea of using threads. I stopped for a while, but can now say that thanks to my 1337 Javascript skillz, they're back with a vengance! Check out User:Alphax/monobook.js (incredibly bloated) if you are interested in a way to make them easier to generate. Alphax τεχ 15:32, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC) Template standardisation phase 2 I've just started a brief framework idea about how to organise template standardisation for article templates. Since you were so instrumental in the success of the talk page template standardisation I thought you might have some good suggestions on how we can progress. It'd be good if you could drop by the talk page and pass comment. Cheers, violet/riga (t) 28 June 2005 17:32 (UTC) Belated thank you When I first came on board, you kindly welcomed me, but I thought you were a bot of some sort! (It was the immediacy of the welcome and the Clockwork bit, I guess.) I just wanted to thank you for the "odds and ends." → ( AllanBz ✎ ) 28 June 2005 19:35 (UTC) Congratulations I just praised User:Craigy for the layout of his user page without realising he'd "borrowed" it from you. So I'd like to congratulate you too. Deb 30 June 2005 21:03 (UTC) DOMS I saw that you started the article DOMS, and I found this report: From Swedish University. Crizz 1 July 2005 10:06 (UTC) Linux Pic Question The picture you submitted on the linux article of a highly modified debian desktop at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Screenshot-6.png. I was wondering where that sidebar could be downloaded or if it was propriatary. Please feel free to email me back at JCY2K03*at*gmail.com. Thanks! 2 July 2005 7.30 (EDT) Userpage Layout I was wondering if you'd mind if I used your layout code for my userpage it's quite a nice piece of coding. Jtkiefer 20:26, July 10, 2005 (UTC) Peace Dove To all participants of the WikiProject Kindness Campaign: There is a proposal on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Kindness Campaign for the Peace Dove. Please comment as you see fit. Thanks, Sango123 15:58, July 14, 2005 (UTC) Celebrating Hi! I've just crossed a symbolic milestone. Three thousand edits! I feel like celebrating. Have a cigar! Don't worry, I don't smoke them either, but it's all good :)! Cheers, Redux 14:57, 19 July 2005 (UTC) I have a kind request. There is a problem on the Wikipedia Article For Sathya Sai Baba (SSB). This article has links to both Pro and Anti SSB articles. However, my link is NOT being allowed. There was a section entitled "Rebuttals" that had only three links, including my site (SaiSathyaSai.com). My site is the ONLY systematized site that specifically addresses (in my opinion) unsubstantiated and serious claims made on Anti-SSB sites. Since an entire section is devoted to Anti-SSB Sites, there should also be a Rebuttals section that provides information that happens to be 100% relevant to Sathya Sai Baba. Willmcw has gone to great extents to promote Anti-SSB sites and to remove sites that counter their claims. This is unfair and biased. It shouldn't be allowed. He removed the "Rebuttals" section without any open discussion. You can view the discussion here. The current article for Sathya Sai Baba is, by no means, indicative of the majority opinion regarding SSB. The entire article is mottled with Anti-SSB remarks and links. I believe that the Rebuttals section is relevant and the following three links should be reposted: 1) http://www.geocities.com/the_sai_critic/ 2) http://www.saisathyasai.com/ 3) http://www.saibaba-aclearview.com/ It is important to point out that NONE of the Pro-SSB links cited, provide any rebuttals to the Anti-SSB remarks and links. These three links are the ONLY ones that do. Please tell me what I must do to have this situation resolved amicably and fairly. Thank you. Sincerely, SSS108 04:40, 21 July 2005 (UTC) Joe Moreno Birthday User:Jenmoa/birthday --User:Jenmoa 16:48, 7 August 2005 (UTC) Prototyping "Seasonal Beers" subsection in brewbox Hi there. I'm prototyping a "Seasonal Beers" subsection in the brewbox: Template:brewbox_seasonal_beers. There is a demonstration at Wikipedia:WikiProject Beer/Examples/Example2. I thought I'd drop you a note since you seem to have done the original brewbox. Please let me know what you think. Mike Dillon 04:45, August 12, 2005 (UTC) Human Rights Servey on Wikipedia (The final post of I_sterbinski) Dear all, Wikipedia was recently a subject of intensive research of an huge international human right organization. A team of people from different nationalities and ages were acting on Wikipedia for 20 days, investigating previously noted anomalities of Wikipedia free editing and forming a final report, which (between the others similar reports) will later be a guide to all future moves of the organization concerning Wikipedia. Acting under an account of a real person, their privacy is to be held private. Therefore, very few private information will be revealed. Also, this is a result of the lack of final possition of the organization concerning Wikipedia and human rights, which was still not formed. The team's final post on Wikipedia, where they explain their actions can be found on the following addresses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:I_sterbinski http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Macedonia#Human_Rights_Servey_on_Wikipedia_.28The_final_post_of_I_sterbinski.29 The team would like to thank to all the persons who took part in the correspondence with us. We also want to appologise for keeping our identity secret for a longer period. Best regards, Aleksandar, Biljana, Asparuh, Christos, Valjon, Michael and Ana Luiza I sterbinski 01:06, 28 August 2005 (UTC) Poll Hello CWS. If I remember aright, you are sympathetic to my ideas regarding the respect due to Featured Articles, and the concomitant care people should use before radically changing them. Would you care to record your opinion, whatever it may be, at Wikipedia_talk:Be_bold_in_updating_pages#Poll? JDG 23:03, 4 September 2005 (UTC) Hornet I saw your artical on Japanese Hornets and found a Japanese web page on them. If you want I can translate it for you. If you would like this send a email to <yanagi@schoolmail.com> MedCom Hello, I'm sending this message out to all users listed as inactive at WP:MC. Some of you have been on leave for quite some time, and I'm hoping one or two of you may return to active (every active editor has a case assigned). I know some of you are busy with other wikimedia stuff, like Angela Anthere and Danny, and some of you are busy with academic stuff, like MacGyverMagic and ClockworkSoul. However I still want to leave this message in the hope of perhaps getting some more of you on hand. It's by no means mandatory though, so don't worry. -Acting Chair, Redwolf24 (talk) 01:57, 3 October 2005 (UTC) Fair use image on your user page. The Stony Brook image is fair use, and should not be used outside its article- its use on your user page may violate copyright provisions. Ral315 WS 06:21, 8 October 2005 (UTC) Seeking advice for dispute resolution Full information here: Talk:Sussex Any advice/input would be greatly appreciated. Request for assistance Please assist on Talk:Neuro-linguistic Programming to sort out a few issues. There are a couple of content disputes (for example, engrams v. computationalism). There are also some disputes over NPOV, and what references are representative for this topic. Comaze 10:43, 12 October 2005 (UTC) Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Template/Workshop You, or any Wikipedia user, can contribute your suggestions and comments to the /Workshop page of any active arbitration case. Comments on evidence or proposals can help in understanding the import of evidence and in refining proposals. Proposed principles, findings of fact, or remedies may be listed on /Proposed decision and form part of the final decision. Fred Bauder 18:42, 26 October 2005 (UTC) Vertically expanding tables I've asked this question both at the Village pump and at Meta:Help talk:Table without getting a response. It may be that the question is obvious, or maybe people are just busy. Regardless, it appears you have a handle on tables and I was wondering, how do I make my table cells expand vertically to, say, 99% of the height of the parent container? Specifically, why isn't this working? (I want everything lined up.) Thanks for any advice you can give. - ElAmericano | talk 04:19, 17 November 2005 (UTC) Thanks so much for your help. I appreciate the quick, effective response. - ElAmericano | talk 04:44, 17 November 2005 (UTC) Holy crap!! You're back! So I CAN trust Uncyclopedians after all :) I strongly doubt you know me, but I wanna be the first to welcome you back to Wikipedia, a lot has happened while you were out! Redwolf24 (talk) 04:55, 17 November 2005 (UTC) Welcome back We haven't seen you in a while. Where have you been? Always happy to see Wikipedians come back, especially you. This time, I would also be happy to see Hephaestos and RickK come back too. But again, welcome back and hope you'll stay as long as you can. -- Mike Garcia | talk 05:13, 17 November 2005 (UTC) No problem. I only wanted to wish you a welcome back. However, I'm not sure if we have ever met though. So far, I've only seen you listed onto the Wikipedia:Missing Wikipedians before you removed yourself. I also don't like it Wikipedians are gone for a long time, just like what happened to me when I was banned as User:Michael. -- Mike Garcia | talk 05:27, 17 November 2005 (UTC) Yeah! Although, looking at leaving trends at the moment, it may not be very long... --Celestianpower háblame 11:46, 17 November 2005 (UTC) Hey, you're back! Count me as another person who hardly knows you but is happy to see you return. (Too bad about it not being alien abduction. I mean, think about the stories you could tell! Of course, it'd all be Original Research, anyway; oh, well.) Mindspillage (spill yours?) 14:13, 17 November 2005 (UTC) Good to have you back, buddy. I've been extremely limited in activity as well. Considering that I've been spending most of my time on an alien wiki, you could say I've been abducted by aliens, but fortunately, no alien probing (yet...) Welcome back, even if it's on a limited basis... --Deathphoenix 16:24, 17 November 2005 (UTC) Actually, you were abducted by aliens. I was one of them. We deleted your memories of it. :) Yeltensic42.618 08:41, 19 November 2005 (UTC) And... And... he's back! I would like to extend my warmest welcome to you for rejoining us! Though I've never had the pleasure of interacting with you, I look forward to doing so soon as both Wikipedians and mediators. Here's a barnstar to show your resiliency and to commemorate your courage in coming back. Flcelloguy (A note?) 22:54, 17 November 2005 (UTC) P.S. Are you still in Long Island? Do you still drop by SBU every now and then? If so, would it be possible for you to take another picture of the Wang Center from Staller once construction is finished? I took the current pic this summer, but the construction makes it look ugly. If so, that would be great! Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 23:14, 18 November 2005 (UTC) OK, thanks — I took that picture from the second story of Staller. See if you can get a good pic; I was thinking that this site could be a potential featured pic. Thanks a lot! Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:35, 19 November 2005 (UTC) By the way, if you don't mind me asking, what department are you studying under? I stayed at SBU for two months over the summer and worked mainly at the HSC. Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:37, 19 November 2005 (UTC) So... When you gonna rejoin the MedCom ;-D Redwolf24 (talk) 23:18, 17 November 2005 (UTC) Wow! Apolitical too? I seriously thought I was the only one. Now let's go form a cabal. Redwolf24 (talk) 02:07, 18 November 2005 (UTC) Heh - you'll be lucky if I log in for more than a half hour a week! Not gonna happen (yet) – ClockworkSoul 02:45, 18 November 2005 (UTC) Welcome back Long time, no see. Welcome back to the Wiki! Ombudsman 02:04, 19 November 2005 (UTC) Thanks! Good to be back. – ClockworkSoul 02:26, 19 November 2005 (UTC) Welcome to Esperanza! Welcome, ClockworkSoul/Archive9, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia 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 might 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 Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. A spam list is maintained by Redwolf24 to keep members up to date; you might want to consider adding your name to the list. 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, Essjay, and guided by the Advisory Committee comprised of myself, Flcelloguy, Ryan Norton, and Acetic Acid. The next set of elections will be at the end of the year, 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 me via email or 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 Wikipedia a better place to be! And may I add that I am glad to see your return completely in place. Good to see you around. Cheers, Bratschetalk | Esperanza 14:59, 19 November 2005 (UTC) Thank you Though it doesn't appear that it will pass, I appreciate your comments and vote in my RfA. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Thanks again.--MONGO 18:18, 19 November 2005 (UTC) SBU Interesting! I also worked with EC regarding angiogenesis over the summer. Just curious, but which floor/lab of the HSC do you work in? Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 01:31, 20 November 2005 (UTC) I worked in the 19th floor under RAF Clark (though he's technically under BME a few floors up). Guess it's a small world! Flcelloguy (A note?) 22:54, 20 November 2005 (UTC) I was there as part of a program that sponsored several of us for the summer; I worked on angiogenesis on matrigel. I only stayed for two months, but it was a great experience, and Stony Brook certainly has a lovely campus! Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:35, 21 November 2005 (UTC) Happy Admin-versary! -- Best wishes from Mamawrites and your friends at Esperanza! Thanks Hi ClockworkSoul! I thought I'd just come by and say a word of greetings. Way back in March 2005, you posted this on my talk page. Those two posts made me feel right at home on Wikipedia when I first started contributing, so I just wanted to thank you for that. :-) --HappyCamper 16:00, 20 November 2005 (UTC) Time to block malicious vandals Usaully this is about the time call upon Hall Monitor to solve this dispute. I have talked to DanielCD about the continuous vandalism. I am ashame that people who have such strong feelings against President Bush, but it gives them no right to make nasty remarks and among others nonsense to the WIKI-community. I hope that we'll be able to address these unwanted users who make too much malicious vandalism on point. I am not a fan of President Bush but I do respect him and his job. It's not easy being a leader of the free world. Keep making good articles LILVOKA. Rumours.... of your demise were greatly exaggerated? Welcome back, Talrias (t | e | c) 08:18, 22 November 2005 (UTC) Will we be seeing you on IRC? Talrias (t | e | c) 15:01, 22 November 2005 (UTC) Anthrax Could you check the information under the header "What has squalene done to Anthrax vaccine"? It seems kind of... skeevy, a bit inappropriate, and slightly non sequitur. The article is about anthrax, but the info is reminiscent of conspiracy theiry. Danke --UnFlammable 09:09, 22 November 2005 (UTC) Seeking advice and help Would you be able to help resolve this issue: Talk:Palestinian_exodus#Jewish_Exodus ? Thanks, Zeq 17:30, 22 November 2005 (UTC) 2nd request. If you can not handle this can you point out to who or how it can be resolved ? Am I wrong in interpresting th NPOV policy i asking that is there is a convoresy it will described as such in the article and (assuming I am the minority) even the minority view desrve to be heard. Or since this an article about Palestinian suffering only palestinian sor pro palastinians can make changes to it ? Zeq 13:03, 23 November 2005 (UTC) Re: Removing double post It's not your fault you didn't remove that paragraph, it's my fault; you reverted to my last version. This vandalism is terrible, that IP which is doing all this belongs to the University of Bergen (!) so I told him that I would tell on him if he didn't stop. Let's see if it works. Izehar 18:53, 22 November 2005 (UTC) Being bewildered This is confusing: 65.0.57.152 is from Atlanta, USA (his ISP is BellSouth). 129.177.131.81 is using a computer belonging to the University of Bergen in Norway; and 203.76.241.228 is from Manila in the Philippines (his ISP is Tri-Isys Internet). This seems to be some kind of Anti-Zionist mood all over earth now, I wonder why? Izehar 19:08, 22 November 2005 (UTC) I'm guessing it could be something caused by a thread in an internet forum that encourages members to vandalise Wikipedia, or something. -- Natalinasmpf 17:06, 24 November 2005 (UTC) MONGO RfA You disappeared for awile I believe and am fortunate enough that you returned to vote for my RfA. You're right, I got a lot of work to do but plan on starting slow until I get the hang of things. I really appreciate your vote and will do all I can to ensure you know that you made the right choice!--MONGO 05:08, 23 November 2005 (UTC) Re: Chemical_warfare#United_States_Senate_Report= Thanks for your comments and praise re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Travb#Chemical_warfare.23United_States_Senate_Report Travb 07:17, 25 November 2005 (UTC) Sean Black RfA Thank you very much for your support of my RfA.

The colors aren't right though. As to the usrpage editing buissiness, since people like to revert edits I make to me usrpage and then protect it, I never saw that. 68.39.174.238 05:53, 1 December 2005 (UTC) Excellent! Now if you can get the colors changed it'll be perfect! 68.39.174.238 06:25, 1 December 2005 (UTC) AHhahah!! Excellent!

RENTASTRAWBERRY FOR LET? röck 00:58, 2 December 2005 (UTC) DYK Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Who me?, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. Why did you... Why did you remove most of the comments on Talk:Jimmy Wales? Just wondering if you did it intentionally, and there was a good reason that's not obvious to me, or if it was a goof. —User:ACupOfCoffee@ 03:35, 6 December 2005 (UTC) You're welcome. —User:ACupOfCoffee@ 03:43, 6 December 2005 (UTC) Hi there can you please remove the lock from the GWB article.
