Disambiguation dispute

I believe you might be of assistance at Talk:Apartheid (disambiguation) where there is a dispute about the disambig policy and whether articles like Israeli apartheid, Apartheid Wall etc can be listed on the page. Homey 00:25, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

"A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having." - From V for Vendetta I suppose - Good Movie, especially the dialogues. Huge amount of work you have done on Wikipedia... Congrats! --Harsha,19:28, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Admin tools

Hi there Natalya. Looks like you haven't even tested your new toys in four days yet. We could always do with some help at CAT:CSD and Category:Proposed deletion. I had to clear 200 prods yesterday, and have deleted 500+ in one week already. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 01:40, 7 June 2006 (UTC).

Thanks

Thanks for the offer. Sure I'll ask if I need some help. By the way how do we find work?....hehe. As of now I search for pages that interest me and update them if there are any discrepancies. I think I can do more than this... --Harsha, 15:23, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations (a little late)

Congratulations. Here are what pass for words of wisdom from the puppy:

Remember you will always protect the wrong version. Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. You will always pick the wrong one to do. (See #5) Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll. Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block. Remember when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology. and finally, Remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able.

More belated congrats and thanks

Hi there, I wanted to give you a very big thankyou for your kind note(s) on my usertalk on my wikibreak, they were most appreciated. And congrats on your promotion! You truly deserved it. I'll see you around the wiki :) -- Banes 15:41, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Yep, its all true, I'm back in full capacity. Whats more is that I am on holiday and am physically limited (got clipped by a SUV while jogging last week, how bad is that?) so that means more time for wikipedia. And, as it happens, the SATs werent thaaaat bad, it went swimmingly, although, I'll have to wait for the results. Anyway, its great to be back! All the best -- Banes 19:08, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Just a few bruises and a sore back (hit the tarmac pretty hard), it wasnt too bad. I'll be ready to get back into physical exercise pretty soon, until then, wikipedia has me. :) -- Banes 19:22, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Disambig issue

Natlya, could you please take a look at this. Two editors have been removing links to Apartheid (disambiguation) from Apartheid outside of South Africa to which Apartheid redirects. Thanks. Homey 19:29, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

User:David91

Per a request on Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians, I'm trying to find out if anyone knows what happened to User:David91. He stopped editing around April 12, 2006, when he was admitted to the hospital for some tests. He possibly lived in Singapore (likely in or near Ang Mo Kio which he edited 3 times--but with enough detail to suggest a strong familiarity with the place), and was probably the oldest Wikipedian at the age of 94 (based on a reference from 2003 when he said he was 91). Based on his numerous contributions in law it is possible he was a retired lawyer of some kind. He also contributed to linguistics, sociology, and science fiction articles. He was part of Wikipedia:WikiProject International law (though it didn't really get off the ground) and he made nearly 5000 edits. He evidently was also a well-respected member of other Internet communities he was involved in during his retirement. Any information on David91 would be appreciated. Thanks, --Alabamaboy 13:25, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Hello, Natalya/Archive4, and thank you for voting and the very supportive words on my recent RfA! With a final vote of 84/1/4, I have now been entrusted with the mop, bucket and keys. I will be slowly acclimating myself to my new tools over the next months, but welcome any and all feedback and suggestions on how I might be able to use them to help the project. Thanks again! Kukini 15:07, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Such kind words! You must be an Esperanzan! I think it is going to take me some time to figure out how to be efficient with the new tools. Feel invited to share tips and thoughts with me anytime. Best, Kukini 15:19, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Remove page

Hello! I hope you are feeling fine. I have a request to make to you. Could you remove this page completely from Wikipedia because it has absolutely NO content in it. Valuable server space is being used up if this page remains in Wikipedia. Thank You. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 14:29, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Image deletion.

I uploaded an image to Wikipedia before realising it contained my real name, and I'd appreciate it if you or another en.Wikipedia admin could erase it permanently. It's Xbmc14.jpg. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taiq (talk • contribs)

Move images from en.wikipedia to Commons

Hello,

I am french and I would like to use these two images Image:Tracking.jpg and Image:MatchMoveFeatureProjection.jpg on the french wikipedia. Could you please move these two on Commons (as they have been released into the public domain it won't be a problem).

Thanks in avance.

A.K. 10:05, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, I used to believe that only admins could move images. I'll do it myself thanks to the link you gave me. A.K. 07:31, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your message, actully I'm not excatly leaving. In a month you might see me edit one day every week but I am not going to be editing that much. So, you can expect to see me one day every week or a little more making a couple edits. However, I am pulling name out of the Harry Potter Wikiproject. ForestH2

It's like I'm taking a long wikibreak to stop in. Maybe later in the summer or fall, I'll decide to rejoin full time. ForestH2

Thank you for your support

Dear Natalya/Archive4,
Thank you very much for your support on my recent RfA. I am pleased to announce that it passed with a tally of 72/11/1, and I am now an administrator. I'll be taking things slowly at first and getting used to the tools, but please let me know if there are any admin jobs I can do to help you, now or in the future. —Cuiviénen 02:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Mop, keys, and bucket

How's it going with the tools? I've seen you've been busy mopping up IP vandals. GangstaEB EA 00:58, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

IP vandals are smarter. They vandalise twice to throw off the diff. GangstaEB EA (comments welcome!) 23:02, 19 June 2006 (UTC) Noticed that yet? I just wanted to know if anyone else has. GangstaEB EA (comments welcome!) 21:41, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

• Hello Natalya, It is indeed great that I was helped within just a few minutes of my request for help. Hopefully you and other users will similarly help me in future. Do let me know if I can be of any assistance. Jordy 15:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey

Hey Nat, hope all things are well, we seem to have drifted apart slightly since your bump up to adminianship. I see you are still doing good work on disamibiguation (I need to get round to giving you a barnstar for it ;) so I see nothing's changed! I am getting pretty stressed recently, I seem to be getting moaned/harassed or blamed for everything, especially when one author GA nom said "you'll have to take my work for it". Hope all is well, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 16:05, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks!

Thanks for voting! Hello Natalya/Archive4, and thank you so much for voting in my recent RfA. I am pleased to inform you that it passed with a final tally of (119/1/3), into the WP:100, so I have now been cleared for adminship and will soon be soaring above the clouds. I was overjoyed, shocked, and humbled by the tally, and, most importantly, all the support. Thank you. If there is ever anything you need, you know where you can find me. Take care.

Headings explanation - thanks!

Your answer to my query at the New Contributors' Help page is definitely useful. I took a look at the layout guide and will have to read through it carefully -- preferably before I do any more editing on academic material with various sorts of citations.

Esperanza elections

Hi Natalya! Personally, I think you'd make a great Council member and implore you to sign up. You're a model Esperanzian and Wikipedian, often putting me to shame. Please consider applying. Yours forever in awe, —Celestianpower ^háblame 14:48, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Too much credit I give not, fairest maiden. Thou art perfect is all of thy ways, dear Natalya. My heart ever yours, —Celestianpower ^háblame 19:06, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Natalya dearest, I feel it is my duty, humble peasant in bondage that I am, to echo the fine words of my honourable and most respected liege, while I may lack his art, I share his profound sentiments. Translation: Yes! Please run! -- Banes 19:12, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

You're most welcome, and thanks for signing up. :) I'll now keep refreshing the page until I see the statement... -- Banes 19:40, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't count on me being re-appointed to AGship - there will (I hope) be 4 people better suited to the position in the new Council :). —Celestianpower ^háblame 10:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

194.83.172.227

Hello Natalya,

I noticed your blocking of the IP 194.83.172.227, I am in no way objecting to this block and I know of the IP’s horrendous vandalism record. However you should know that 194.83.172.227 is a school (my school) network with several hundred computers that about a thousand pupils and staff can accesses. I would therefore appreciate it if unregistered users could be blocked from editing but registered users could still edit from this IP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zippokovich (talk • contribs)

A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower ^háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

The elections

Hi Natalya. Maybe I shouldn't say this, as we are technically rivals for the same post ;), but I think you'd make a great council member, and ambassador for esperanza. I hope very much, for the good of Esperanza, that you are elected! Yours, The Halo (talk) 10:02, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Re:Elections statement

Thanks Natalya. :o) I'm glad you're running too, and I actually think your statement is better than mine. It wasn't easy to write, so someone suggested that I look through my contributions to explain what I do at Esperanza, so the majority of my statement is based off that. Other than that, I felt it was best to keep it simple. Well, best of luck, and I'm sure I'll talk to you again soon. :o) EWS23 (Leave me a message!) 22:41, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Blocking

As far as I know, the account sharing that IP will be blocked for as long as the block you placed on the IP. There is no way they can be protected from collateral damage I'm afraid (used to suffer from it on a daily basis). I believe there is some discussion taking place on the subject, to change the software, but at the moment, if you block the IP, you block the account, and there is nothing further you can do. Good luck with the elections. :) -- Banes 20:18, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Re:Gone for elections, de-stress

Yes, it is a bad sign. The vexxing thing is, it's no longer ILM giving me the bother, it's certain other people, who think my warnings are a joke. I am going to rip someone's head off soon, the little voice in my head saying, "you'll never be an admin!", is getting more muffled everytime someone has a stab at me.

Just life, and this, and ugh. RL is sucking, my heart is within hours of being smashed by a clarinet wielding girl and her genetic throwback boyfriend, I am stuck alone the whole summer, and A Man In Black is trying to push me over the edge. He annoys me, he really does. If someone gives you a barnstar, you say thank you. I really don't like him.

I'm sorry I can't vote for you, I'll be emotional support, ;) but have a nice time, wherever. I'll make sure all the votes are valid, (it seems the only thing I'm going to be good at) and good luck in the elections. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 13:21, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Nothing helps waiting desperately for an email more than extra caffeine after coke, cola bottles and an ice lolly. And my kitchen has disappeared, great. I get the feeling I may need something a bit stronger. ;) RL shouldn't be sucking, but it really is. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 13:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
