Opposed own RfA Oh my! You have sharp eyes. Cheers. :) Dlohcierekim 13:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC) Thanks; this is about to get interesting... -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 13:22, 11 August 2006 (UTC) Thanks for your note. No doubt. Thanks for doing the homework I should have. :) Dlohcierekim 13:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC) Re: WP:AN/I Actually, I was hoping somebody else would go ahead and post it, saving me the trouble. But, fair enough; if you think I should go ahead with it, I will. Kirill Lokshin 16:28, 11 August 2006 (UTC) I have to go now, actually. Perhaps you or someone else could take care of it. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 16:31, 11 August 2006 (UTC) 1st Edit Day Thanks! Hello Tariqabjotu. I must say a really big thank you for the first edit day road sign you gave me. Having driven on both sets of roads, I must agree that not only are the signs easier, but also the roads are nicer (if you like fast driving ;) Once agian, thank you very, very much for you 1st edit day wishes. I hope we can talk again more in the future! Yours, Thε Halo Θ 18:26, 11 August 2006 (UTC) Closed MedCabal case Just letting you know I closed a cabal case for you, due to inactivity. SynergeticMaggot 20:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC) Thanks for the BTTF relist and correction Thank you for correcting my error on the request for renaming on the Back to the Future trilogy. How long should it last until the renaming takes place? (I will have a lot of edits to do if it is moved, but I am prepared for that. :)) - LA @ 06:58, 12 August 2006 (UTC) Move requests normally last about five days, so it should be closed on August 17 or August 18. How come you will have a lot of work to do if it's moved? Are you referring to changing all the links? -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 13:49, 12 August 2006 (UTC) Yes, I am referring to the change of the links, since I am the one who wants it moved. I am not looking forward to it but will do it if it happens. - LA @ 14:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC) Are you familiar with AutoWikiBrowser; it makes the process much easier. Back in June, I replaced 800 images in about four hours or so. However, you don't have nearly as many things to change. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 14:03, 12 August 2006 (UTC) I have it, but haven't quite figured it out yet. - LA @ 14:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC) My RfA Hey Tariq, just a quick note to let you know I withdrew my RfA at 13/11/10. Bornhj thanks you for the support :) --james(talk) 11:04, 12 August 2006 (UTC) RfA thanks Thanks so much for voting, Tariqabjotu! Thanks so much for your support vote on my request for adminship! With a final vote count of (82/5/0), it succeeded, and I'm now an administrator! I am thrilled with the overwhelming positive support from the community, and sincerely thank you once again for taking your time to voice your opinion. Feel free to contact me with any comments/suggestions in the future! —Mets501 (talk) 03:52, 13 August 2006 (UTC) WIkipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award Tariqabjotu, thanks for signing up for the Esperanza User Page Contest. The judges have received the fifteen entries, and are ready to start judging.

Æon Insane Ward 14:02, 14 August 2006 (UTC) For having a nice userpage with interesting content, you are presented with the Excellent User Page Award. Æon Insane Ward 14:02, 14 August 2006 (UTC) Thanks a lot for the barnstar, although it appears you won't be judging it in the User Page Contest. I have add the barnstar to my user page. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 14:10, 14 August 2006 (UTC) Your Welcome! And thanks for the Edit Day wish! it has been a year already! Æon Insane Ward 15:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC) Coach disambiguation page First of all, thank you for completing the move of Coach to Coach (vehicle). Could you also please complete the second part of the request, which would be to move Coach (disambiguation) to Coach? I realize that a redirect was created, but actually having the dab page there would be more helpful and look a little "neater". Thanks. SchuminWeb (Talk) 15:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC) I'm not an admin, so I can't perform the move myself. I often take care of as many moves as possible at WP:RM because they're often neglected by administrators and because I want to leave as little work for the admins when they get around to it (note that frequent appearance of the {{adminbacklog}} template). I could, however, refer you to one (or contact one myself) if you so desire. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 15:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC) Ah, we're in the same boat, then. Non-admins who don't have the access rights to properly take care of all of the housekeeping issues we'd like to tackle. Don't worry about it, then. I'll take care of it. SchuminWeb (Talk) 15:55, 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...

So I said to myself... "eh... why not a barnstar?" Here you go...! Barnstar of Diligence The Barnstar of Diligence For your outstanding error-spotting and correcting in my short tenure as a writer for the Wikipedia Signpost.

Regardless, thanks for the barnstar; I have added it to my user page. -- tariqabjotu 01:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC) I understand that. But, to save me from possible embarassment, you've corrected them, and I just wanted to show that I appreciated it. Do whatever you want -- don't think that this barnstar is a legally binding agreement! Anyways, keep up the good work. Ian Manka Talk to me! 02:30, 23 August 2006 (UTC) Image:En-admin-growth.png This is an excellent graph, thank you for doing it :). My latest post on my talk page explains how I would tweak it, but it is quite good as is. I hope you will update it every so often, perhaps at the end of each calendar month. Cheers, NoSeptember 17:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC) Disciple (disambig) move page. Not that this is a huge deal, but I left off the big survey format intentionally. I'd hoped that move would have been speedied, since it was a completely non-controversial move that would have solved a double-redirect, and if there was chatter, it didn't need to be done in full out debate format. Anyway, not to be too direct, but if you do want to oppose the move, can you at least drop off some opinions as to why? (Edit: Upon looking more closely, I see that I may have misread your intent. Sorry if you were only there to help out by adding that format; I got the impression you wanted to oppose the move as well- which maybe you do, but I suppose we'll see.) SnowFire 02:40, 25 August 2006 (UTC) I don't want to oppose the move, and I'm not going to support it either. Since I'm trying to clear out the move request backlog, I'd like to stay impartial on discussions, staying out of things. However, I would like to add that one issue regarding the move is that it has been made possible only because of a not-so-benign move. Of course, not all moves need to be approved via WP:RM, so it's not like you were in the wrong to do that move. However, some may object to your current proposed move (Disciple (disambiguation) → Disciple) if they believe Disciple (Christianity) should be at Disciple. And thus, I feel the survey / discussion section should be there; if no one brings up that objection, the desired move should be performed on August 30 or August 31. -- tariqabjotu 02:51, 25 August 2006 (UTC) Perhaps I should rephrase. I knew that that would be a possible area of contention, and I did in fact wait for a bit on the talk page to see if anyone had any comments. However, I thought that the Disambig page should definitely go to Disciple now, and the possible switching of the pages around could be decided later- as in, have a vote on either Disciple and Disciple (disambig) (with the main page being Christian-related, which is what I originally prefered before changing my mind- if I'd known at the time, I'd have moved the page then, and started the disambig page anew at the main page) or else Disciple and Disciple (Christian). Having the main Disciple page be a redirect seems a bad idea to me- I'd have no problem at all if, say, the disambig page got moved now, but in the debate, something closer to the original split happened. In that case, it'd still be easy to "undo" the change, by moving Disciple -> Disambig and Disciple (C)->Disciple. The uncontroversial part was that the main Disciple page should be filled with something. But no matter. One of the Wikipedia mottos is "Wikipedia is not on a deadline", so if it happens slower, it's no huge tragedy. SnowFire 03:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC) You have been nominated for adminship I beat you to it (I had the page on my watchlist). I'm sorry, but I'll have to decline the nomination. Since I see quite a few people have been asking me about adminship, I'll loosen up on the October idea. Perhaps three admins (instead of the two I mention at User:Tariqabjotu/Rationale) will convince me to finally accept a nomination before October. -- tariqabjotu 05:20, 25 August 2006 (UTC) Re:The Graph Thanks, though you did most of the grunt work (entering the data). I've done a massive amount of Excel graph work at uni and my last job so I though I would be able to do something like that :) I agree, I'd like to see that graph with user data. If you fancy doing that go ahead- I'm supposed to be busy now (doing work in real world). Let me know if you want me to do it though. I'd recommend using whatever data includes the greatest number of users because often it is the few edit users that cause the most work for admins, so no point only counting the more experienced users. Petros471 14:56, 25 August 2006 (UTC) Info on Islamophobic group Hello, What follows are the thoughts, expressed in their own words, and in the 'protest signs', of the obscure, very small, but very vocal 'activist group' known as "Protest Warrior". "What's becoming clear is how the religion of Islam is addicted to war and mayhem. Not a radical minority, not a rogue sect, but its very essence is about submission and sacrifice and proving your worth by worshipping death in this life to gain a paradise of orgies and drunkenness. Their entire history is of warfare, and any accomplishments of their so-called Golden Age has been proven to be merely parasitic off the cultures they've conquered and reduced to dhimmi servitude. That every country under sharia is corrupt, belligerent, desolate and barbaric obviously gives them no pause, except to constantly drive them into further psychotic rage as they refuse to ever accept any responsibility for their conditions. They are akin to the powers in Orwell's 1984; there must always be an enemy. It's no surprise that women are treated like property in these countries as that's the only way Muslim men can feed their egos, to dominate others rather than ever actually produce something." Kfir Alfia and Alan Lipton, founders of "Protest Warrior" Their 'protest signs'... Signs I thought you might be interested in this group's sentiments. They are currently very actively editing their own article on Wiki and there is a lot of 'group think'. Perhaps you might want to become involved in the editing and discussion process on that page. If you do, please don't vandalize, and try to remain civil. Should you not want to involve youself, please forgive my intrusion.
