Good luck with those allergies! All the sneezing must certainly be no fun. But, providing you're allergic to things outdoors, at least you can look forward to it getting cold and frosting and killing everything that you're allergic too. -- Natalya 16:34, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I appear to be allergic to indoor and forest stuff. «ct» (t|e) 16:39, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Aww, sorry to hear your allergies are bothering you! I have allergies, too; ragweed season is beginning where I am so nobody's breathing as they should. I hope you feel better soon! Srose (talk) 00:08, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, if you're there, could you go on the WPTC's IRC? Just go to http://www.ircatwork.com/ and type in a nickname (your username would be good), then type in "#wiki-hurricanes" in the box that says channel next to it. Hope to see you there; I'm really bored. Thanks. íslenska hurikein #12 _(samtal) 01:31, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Communism 'vandalism' warning

hello crazytales, i would like to know the basis on which you warned me for vandalising the communism page, i said nothing false, nor dergogitory, i am not against communism i infact said in my edit that wikis were an example in which communism works. The basis of communism is a community working to help a community everyone working for the good of everyone, tell me exactly how saying that wikipedia follows this practice on an appropriate page is vandalism. could it be that you have some kind of problem with me calling wikipedia communists, if so please understand the cold war has been over since 1991 it is not an insult to call someone a communist. so please crazytales why was i warned?, it clearly was not vandalism.Zepher25 13:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Zepher. I'm truly sorry about warning you for vandalism. It was totally my fault for not checking your contribs history. There's a well-known vandal known for equating wikipedia with communism; for information see WP:WIC. That edit might still be controversial, I recommend you post on the talk page about it. Cheers, «ct» (t|e) 13:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

thanks for clearing that up, when i saw you were an admin i naturally jumped to the conclusion that this was a 'Reds are evil' thing, but thanks for clearing that up, i will put it on the talk page for the article.Zepher25 13:41, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm not an admin. Gives me confidence that I'm mistaken for one though (: «ct» (t|e) 13:42, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

oh, ah yes, after reading the post at the top of this page again in more detail i see what you mean, i misread, plus i though only admins could give warnings.Zepher25 14:04, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Any user can give warnings. Only admins can block though. «ct» (t|e) 14:08, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

fair enoughZepher25 14:20, 25 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...

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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Lindsey Shaw.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Lindsey Shaw.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

image:lillix.jpg

Actually I have edited it enough on Paint to make it a picture i created so it would be up to me to upload or not. The original picture contained the 4 girl seperated into 4 boxes where I put them all together so it saves more space on a page but I guess no onr cares about the truth anymore and just deletes things that doesn't violate any of wikipedia's policies! I don't see why I bother trying to put good pictures and information on wikipedia! User:Hildufffan4ever

re:interesting way to deal with messages

I thought so too. And everyone (except the bots) was so cooperative at following instructions. Thanks for the feedback. NoSeptember 04:26, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

IP block

Yeah I was aware I'd done that and I apologize. I meant to correct it but last night for about 3 hours I was the only active sysop in the IRC channel and I could barely keep up. I just checked my block log and over a 3 or 4 hour period I block over 50 accounts, and thankfully that was the only IP address that I'd blocked indefinity (all be it accidental)^[1] Was a crazy night - especially for my first week and no doubt there's bound to be some mistakes. Apologies once again and thanks for the heads up - GIen 00:13, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

hey, np, I regularly check the block log. I can understand the mistake with you being a new admin. »ctails! =hello?=« 00:25, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Your recent edit to Fast Times at Ridgemont High (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // AntiVandalBot 04:02, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

AVB made a mistake; I've reverted. Just saying that to any editors who happen to notice this. »ctails!« =hello?= 04:05, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

RE:

Thanks, with these tools, vandal fighiting isn't really that hard. Yes my name is in reference to the calc. I put "old" because my freind has a TI-89 titanium and I have the black one. But I like the old lines betten anyhow :) Old TI-89 (u|t|c) 04:33, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I myself have a TI-84 Plus SE. In an IRC channel I frequent, there's always an argument ti-83/84 vs 89. »ctails!« =hello?= 04:49, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

The 89 is without a doubt more powerful, however if its user is not self controlled, there is always the possibilty of getting dependent on the "higher functions" Especally in high school math classes :) Old TI-89 (u|t|c) 05:00, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

WikiThanks

File:AviXyrael.gif

I'd like to thank you Crazytales56297 for either supporting, opposing, commenting, nominating, reading, editing, promoting and/or anything else that you may have done for my successful request for adminship (I've broken the one thousand sysop barrier!); I'm thanking you for getting involved, and for this I am very grateful. I hope to be able to serve Wikipedia more effectively with my new tools and that we can continue to build our free encyclopedia, for knowledge is power, but only wisdom is liberty. Please do feel free to get in touch if you feel you can improve me in any way; I will be glad to listen to all comments. Again, thanks 8)             —Xyrael / 12:06, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Thank you very much for voting on my recent Request for Adminship.

Vandalism by 71.126.150.88

Hello, Crazytales. This guy who you previously warned against vandalism struck again. You stated that after his first incident that he'd be blocked. Shall we proceed? --johnkellystyle 23:19, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors! What's New? September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves! Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there! The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself! The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it! TangoTango has written a script for a bot that will list new members of Esperanza, which will help those who welcome new Esperanzains greatly! Signed...

Afd's closed discussions

You closed this afd and correctly wrote the result there as Speedy keep. But here you wrote the result as Keep. Since i am not allowed to make changes, i request you to change the result here from keep to speedy keep. Thanks.--nids(♂) 20:00, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. May I ask why you aren't allowed to change it? ~crazytales56297 - t-e 20:55, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Am I allowed???? I dont think so?? Anyways thanks for your actions.nids(♂) 20:58, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

You're allowed, unless you have some sort of arbcom sanction imposed against you... And I don't mind other people correcting my mistakes. ~crazytales56297 - t-e 21:01, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok. I thought that only admins could make such changes as they are the only ones who close afds.--nids(♂) 21:04, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

You're wrong there too. Any user can close an afd, although their actions can be undone by an admin. ~crazytales56297 - t-e 21:28, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
