Thank you for your contributions throughout the putting together of this project. It's been 3 days, and this project has picked up faster than I ever expected :-D. A ton of fixed errors, formatting improvements, and bright ideas later it looks like the first ever UPA is on the path to success! I thank you again, but I do want to make one change to something you've done to the upawinner template.... [[Image:Esperanza.png|right|175px]] I'd like to change it to 120px again, other than that I loved the changes you made, and appreciate them very much. I've added more to the message as well courtesy of Titoxd. So be sure to check back and see the changes! Thanks. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 21:44, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks :-D...I see you've been chosen as a finalist, congrats and good luck! KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 22:38, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to give special thanks to you, for kindly nominating me. Thank you Sango123, for your confidence and for all you've done. If I can ever be of assistance to you, please let me know. All the best Banez 17:20, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for bein' so awesome Sango. <3
And wow, a published writer at 12? I'm 12 now and hope to get my works published soon. ^___^
Edit: Thanks again for the warm welcome. :) We haven't talked before, but I really would like to get to know you a bit. <3
From what I've seen, you're a really awesome person.
Hi Sango123/Archives/Feb 2006, thanks for participating in my RfA discussion. Unfortunately, my fellow Wikipedians have decided at this time that I am not suitable to take on this additional responsibility, as the RfA failed with a result of 66/27/5 (71.0% support). If you voted in support of my request, thank you! If you decided to oppose me at this time, then I hope that if I do choose to reapply in the future, the effort I will make in the meantime to improve and expand my contributions to Wikipedia may persuade you to reconsider your position. All the best, Prototc 15:30, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Since you're experienced, and, well, really nice, I thought I'd ask you for some help. What I'm going to try to do is create an article related to the elections of statewide government offices in Arizona, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I think it would be titled something along the lines of "Arizona statewide elections, 2006" and such. The problem being is that there is already an "Arizona gubernatorial elections, 2006" article (same with every other state) and I don't know if having the two would overlap too much. Another problem would be, that I think the article should focus solely on elections for Arizona, excluding the two US Senate seats that are elected statewide; a solution could be "Arizona executive branch elections, 2006," but that would leave out the Corporation Commission, which is elected statewide but is not as per the AZ Constitution a part of the executive branch. the final problem would be notifying other elections- and/or arizona- minded Wikipedians of the new article and probable series going back every four years, and probably expanding it to other states as well.
So um... you think you could help me? Thanks. --JMurphy 19:00, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
um yeah sorry if it was your article I messed up. I guess I don't really know how to edit it and if it was yours. um yeah. **** —Preceding unsigned comment added by DarthPragus (talk • contribs) 16:24, 2 February 2006
Do all these other pages count toward the page total?
Recently I've seen guideline pages, discussion pages, user pages, watchlist pages, history pages, template pages, and user talk pages. Do all of these count toward the 940000 English articles that Wikipedia currently has?
I'm so new I don't have much but questions, but hey, check out my improvements on the High Templar website!
on beating me to welcoming users who edit Wikipedia:Introduction lol. Did you see that we have all 5 finalists picked now? we should have the winner in a few days! Good luck. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Wow! Nice page! I've watchlisted it, and will do my best to answer any queries. I see you've used the self-same scenario as we gave to ViolinGirl, if you want to change it at all, then of course, feel free. It was rather hastily typed. Also, do we plan to meet on IRC with Gryffindor? Cheers (and nice work over at UPA!) Banez 10:36, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for putting those barnstars in, it may seem odd that I cannot do it, but I keep messing up the HTML. Thanks again Banez 21:16, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Woah, I am so confused. I was going to do that for Banes the other day, but it was kind of messing up, so didn't. Then, I see his request on Phae's page, and try again, and THINK it works. Then I look in the history, and you beat me. I am SOOOOO confused. :D [pause] Ok, I reverted back, I think that worked....whatever....The Point is: ignore me, this comment, etc......;)--ViolinGirl♪ 01:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Well, thanks to everybody for giving it a try. :D I'm fine with that AC setup Sango, giving him/her time. But I think once in a while it would be nice to meet on IRC, but not very often. Cheers Banez 07:39, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Well, obviously I'm not (the only one who eavesdrops). Shame, shame! (Although, who's calling the kettle black?) I've been doing pretty well, thanks for asking...although I got my wisdom teeth out Wednesday, and I'm working on de-chipmunking myself. :P Other than that...great. Yourself?--ViolinGirl♪ 16:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Okay, this is perhaps a bit overdue, but thank-you for your support in my recent RfA! I passed with a final vote count consensus of (82/1/0), which was a lot of support that I really appreciate. I'll try to live up to the expectations; and on that note, if there's ever something I do wrong (or don't do right), please spit in my general direction. Cheers! --PeruvianLlama(spit) 05:31, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Hey Sango123, I was wondering if I could borrow yours and Banes's idea with the user sub page with regards to admin coaching? I wanted to set up a similar scenario for my trainee'. Thanks KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 17:53, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations, Sango123/Archives/Feb 2006! Your user page has been nominated for the Esperanza User Page Award! Five judges will look over your user page and award it 1-10 points in four categories:
Attractiveness: general layout, considering colour scheme and/or use of tables if applicable
Usefulness: links to subpages or editing aids, helpful information
Interesting-ness: quirky, unique, captivating, or funny content
General niceness: at the judges' discretion
But first, you must be chosen as a finalist. If your user page is chosen as one of the five finalists, you'll have the chance to win an award created just for having a great user page!
Hello Sango13! Thank you for the message. Wow, you must be popular and thank you for the help tips. Next Time, PLEASE, try not to interupt me with sending messages with another member.

Greetings, I blocked the above user for 24 hrs based on messages in Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, and looking at the time stamp of their test4 warning and the last time they blanked the page it seemed that they'd done so after being warned. After reading your edit summary, I realise that may have not been the case. If you want to unblock them, I'd understand. Regards, --Fire Star 02:29, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
I have been using Wikipedia forever for quick reference and a place to begin research, but I have yet to contribute to its existance. I was wondering, is this welcome automated? I imagine the easiest but best way to welcome newbies like me would be to have a pre-written message and send it whenever a new account is created.

If you're referring to your signature, just go to your preferences, and in the Nickname textbox, enter some HTML.

You changed your signature from the long version to the shorter version here.

And yes, my user page has indeed been vandalized 42 times, though some vandalism fighers have three-digit counters. :)Sango123(talk) 01:36, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello there, I was just wondering if it's ok that I steal your welcoming template? It's not overly long but good in the information area. Thanks in advance!

Sure, no problem! Sango123(talk) 22:03, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
I don't see where you've said what you had published at age 12. I'm sure you wouldn't mention it unless it was something major, like a novel, or a worthwhile non-fiction. You don't strike me as one of those guys who would brag about having something self-published, or buying their way into one of those "pay us to print your poem so you can say you've been published, oh and by the way you've got to buy a book too" guys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.71.141.105 (talk • contribs) 18:59, 11 February 2006
Hello Sango! I'm trying to transwiki the StarCraft articles to Wikibooks StarCraft. What exactly is the format for doing this? For example, I want to move a page to WikiBooks StarCraft:Secret Missions. Setting this as the new location made it a wikipedia page and not a wikibooks page, and I read not to cut and paste, so I don't know how to transwiki any articles. Can you tell me what to do? Thanks! --Yunzhong Hou 02:11, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Sango! I remember talking with you about the 'classical pianists' category and its articles in the past, so I would like you to know about this: Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 February 11. I do feel that the 'Classical pianists' category works just perfect right now and would like to keep it just as it is now. Vote if you wish :) --Missmarple 10:58, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, it went really well, Gryffindor seems to understand things nicely, no problems there. I'm really honoured that our scenario was stolen! :D I rather like the idea of the warnings matter, for him/her (?) to learn those things, since they were in fact a big bother in my RfA. So, yes, its an important area to work on. Many thanks for the flower, thankfully, the stress is on the down this past week...Thanks again! Cheers Banez 18:30, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".
The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.
I, Master of Puppets, hereby bestow upon you this Random Acts of Kindness barnstar for being a damn good example of a Wikipedian.
In the end you'll be able to create a statue of yourself by smelting all of these... anyway, just wanted to drop by and say personally, thanks. Thanks for welcoming so many users, which you do, a lot. Even us low-ranking peons notice. Keep up the good work! -MasTer of PuppetsPeek! 02:36, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I just edited the Taizé page, deleting a large chuck, which you've "reverted". Didn't know I should explain the "why" of the edit --- although in fact the reason was *in the text* which I had inserted. Anyway, seems a good system.

Is there a way to type in the Reverted edits by (USERNAME) to last verison by (USERNAME) any faster? Whenever I try to write that in the edit summary, I have to check the history remeber the usernames, go to the EDIT THIS PAGE button and fill in the edit summary. By then, someone else has already reverted the vandalism/spam/whatever. I've had to resort to writing rv vandalism in the edit summary for the time being. Is there a way to do it faster, like typing in something into the edit summary and it turns into something else (like userboxes or warnings?) Evan Robidoux 23:44, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Sango123, thanks for the welcome. I want upload an image (of a babylonian tablet) to Babylonian mathematics, the photo is here. I have e-mailed the copyright owner and he said I could put it up if I mentioned him and put a link the original image site. I assume that the Fair use template would be suitable, but this isn't an option on the upload image page. Selecting 'found the image somewhere' sounds a bit like 'I can't be bothered to do this properly', so could you advise me on the best course of action? Cheers, Bad_germ, 18 February 2006 10:30 (UTC)

I"M AT SCHOOL-look at the article if you don't know what that is —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.56.3.162 (talk • contribs) 18:52, 20 February 2006
There are many outrageous articles which do not serve any purpose other than spreading hatred. Thus I felt necessary to remove those articles. I am not a supporter of any particular group. But if you are going to allow this in an unchecked manner, I am afraid, Wikipedia is not serving its purpose. Many articles on sensitive issues in India are completely based on assumptions and perceptions and not on facts. The references that appeared in those articles are not from any government report or a valid, acceptable source, but are opinions expressed by different people. You can't just quote one sentence from a book or an article of any person. It can be grossly misinterpreted. Anyway, if this is the case then wikipedia is clearly failing in its basic purpose, that is to become an encyclopaedia, and is just becoming a battleground for different people to air their fanatic, one-sided and untrue versions of events. and don't worry, I will not be editing anything on wikipedia, though I have contributed to it greatly so far. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.99.10.52 (talk • contribs) 19:05, 20 February 2006
Hi, Look on the discussion page. My comments are at the top of 'Critisim of AI'. Regards, Sligahan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sligahan (talk • contribs) 19:32, 20 February 2006
Are you kidding me? The stuff I removed from sword WAS vandalism. The entry mentions a fellow named Periphero Chortos. Do a Google search on that one. The only hit is the entry itself. It also states that the so-called 'machaira' was basically a bronze bar with one sharpened end and functioned less as a bladed weapon than it was an edged bludgeon. That? THAT IS A JOKE SOMEONE PUT IN THERE. Areliux, a 'celtian chief'. Man, do I even have to debunk the existence of a 'celtian chief' named Areliux? According to the article you decided to revert, he invented THE SIMITAR.
How about Gustav Heinshreck, the inventor of the world's biggest sword. A sword that was twelve feet long and could only be wielded by two men? You honestly think that this should be in a factual article? That its removal is vandalism? Well, let's do a google search for Gustav Heinshreck. Unsurprisingly, it returns you the article itself and nothing else.
Toss in the fact that the person who added those 'facts' about swords is only responsible for one other major revision, which itself was reverted for vandalism. It was in fact such an audacious bit of revision it made Wikipedia's joke page. Good God, man. Just ... just good God.
It's kind of funny that you accuse me of vandalism for removing what was clearly originally vandalism. In fact, in my explanation of removing the vandalism, I SAY THAT IT IS BECAUSE I AM REMOVING VANDALISM. So you accuse me of vandalism and revert the article, adding vandalism back into it!
Edit: Since posting this, I've noticed that you are not, in fact, a man. I apologize. (Removed unnecessary invective.)
I expect an apology. 204.69.40.7 19:44, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry to involve you in this mess, but I tried contacting Peruvianllama about it, and his contributions show him as not being around here recently. Peruvianllama dealt with this problem the last time, and since I see through your contributions that you're active now, I thought I'd ask you for help.
User:PyterTaravitch was a troll account created by an unknown user. Evidence I cited in this edit [2] showed why I believed that the account was a sockpuppet of Chadbryant. Chad would go onto blank the page [3] and then add in his own accusations about whose sockpuppet the account was [4]. Peruvianllama then came along and posted a compromised version [5] which stayed in place for a whole 9 days before Chadbryant deleted the part that was against him [6].
Rather than get into a whole new edit war with Chadbryant, on User talk:Peruvianllama#Chadbryant's return I tried to bring the matter to Peruvianllama's attention, and in the middle of that Chadbryant showed up and threw out a personal attack [7]. He also made a personal attack against another user, User:TruthCrusader, on this page [8]. This isn't the first time Chadbryant has acted like this. His contributions showcase dozens, if not hundreds, of examples of personal attacks and trolling tactics.
If you could, please have a look at this and take any necessary actions that you see fit. Thanks. tv316 20:02, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I've posted it there now. Thanks. tv316 21:44, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi there Sango: I just wanted to drop a note saying how much I appreciate you voting for me at the Esperanza elections. While the election has just started, I do thank you for being the first support! Thanks, Bratschetalk 21:05, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, how nice! It's really odd that you of all peolple are greeting me now of all times, since I was just reading about you on JStewart's talk page. Thanks again! --M@thwiz2020 01:52, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Can you please drop by JStewart's talk page and look at the bottom of the first section (right below your greeting). Thanks. --M@thwiz2020 01:55, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Sango123 - I have a problem on the Kaiser Permanente page, and I'm hoping I can call on you to help. FCYTravis, who is an admin, got another admin to protect the article right after he made major cuts. He ignored a request from Omsbudsman to develop the article instead of cutting it up, and he ignored my own offer on the talk page to address his sourcing concerns. FCYTravis has also been using words like "stupid" and "fuck" in his edit summaries, and it's possible he has an emotional investment in this since according to his info page he lives in an area where Kaiser is the dominant employer. Is there anything you can do to get this article unprotected?
I would also like to delete the Peer Review and NPOV templates. I've been told by TantalumTelluride that Peer Review is inappropriate for an unstable article. I've placed a request in the Delete Misc queue, but I'm not sure I formatted it right. I'd also like to remove the NPOV because it was placed there by a user who was trying to devalue everyone else's POV. He hasn't been back for several weeks. There are several POVs in play, but these should work out through the editing process. The label that's most appropriate right now is the Cleanup one, and perhaps an invite for formatting and sourcing help from more experienced Wikipedians.
I would appreciate any help you could offer in these regards. --Pansophia 09:31, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your support of my request for adminship. I'm delighted that the RfA ultimately succeeded with a final consensus of 52/1/0, so I am now an administrator.

Your message to my IP, regarding user Jtkiefer. He has a shell on my machine and it was most likely him that made that change without logging in.
That was me posting about Jtkiefer's edit. I wasn't familiar with how to make a proper edit to a talk page... Anyway, Jtkiefer has a shell account on the machine at this IP, and as it was likely him making the edit, it is not vandalism. I don't make edits, and I'm the only other person who uses this network connection. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.34.126.208 (talk • contribs) 00:30, 23 February 2006

I am now involved in a dispute over a reference to Punk'd that is occuring in reference to the Lindsay Lohan article. I feel that it is irrelevant content, but User:RadioKirk feels that it is relevant. However, instead of addressing my concerns, I feel that he is ignoring my suggestions and attempting to claim that I am antagonizing him (even though I feel like he is attempting to antagonize me). I would appreciate your insight and help on the issue, if possible. -- backburner001 21:52, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
This user says the Punk'd reference is irrelevant. I laid out the case for its relevance—with a rewrite for clarity—and he deleted it again. His response: "I did my part – I removed content I felt was not significant and I made suggestions for improvement when I was asked for them. If you are interested in working together to fix this problem, do your part and improve the Punk’d reference or give me a legitimate reason for keeping the reference that was in there before." (Essentially, "You think it should stay? Prove it to me and me alone," which sounds awfully close to self-appointed WikiGodhood, but I've been called dramatic already. More on point, "working together" to this editor means he deletes it, but someone else has to "fix" it.) This user's page includes as a goal, "[r]emove irrelevant/trivial content", but a quick look at his edit history is telling: on 30 January, he removed from WP:MOS a "reference to naming conventions for Mormonism"; on 19 February, he deleted "2 paragraphs" from Hiram College "to keep concise". Since then, every deletion of material has been a Punk'd reference, from Lindsay Lohan, Avril Lavigne, Jena Malone, Beyoncé Knowles, Mandy Moore, Chris Klein (actor) and Proof (rapper). After we blasted each other's antagonism (real or imagined), I threatened him with a WP:3RR war and mutual blocking, and backburner001 then agreed to stop removing the reference pending the discussion that results from my Request for Comment. No matter the outcome, your input would be very much appreciated. RadioKirktalk to me 21:24, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments and lead to the colours. I like my talk page (Victorian pink) but my user page could use some help. I will get around to it by the time it grows stale. Thanks again.--Dakota~° 22:34, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't be so angry about it if people would stop deleting every article I put in there, even though it is relevant to the game. One paragraph I put was about the controversy of the game and how different opinions were about the game. It didn't break any rules, but someone deleted it because they are a Tales of Symphonia fanboy. Did it get revived? No. If I am not allowed to express my opinion, and other people's opinions, then they shouldn't be able to either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.19.74.26 (talk • contribs) 21:25, 24 February 2006
