I see you tagged this for speedy deletion. While such articles are often not useful as a stand-alone article, there's no need to delete them outright. I've now merged several related articles in the article about the Carolina Hurricanes and I hope you consider merging and redirecting material, the next time around. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:57, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• If you like my user talk page, feel free to copy the layout. :) Did you get a welcome message yet; your talk page looks a bit empty? - Mgm|^(talk) 17:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Ah, I see you have an archive. In that case, scratch that last question. :) - Mgm|^(talk) 17:44, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• I've copied the code for you (User:John Lake/Talk into) and included it here. Hope you like it. - Mgm|^(talk) 17:52, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup Templates

I noticed that you recently applied an improperly formatted cleanup template. I have fixed the template, but felt I should tell you that it needed to be replaced. You can find a list of properly formatted cleanup templates here. Please note that it is never appropriate to substitute a cleanup tag.

Thank you very much for your contributions to Wikipedia. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Alphachimp ^talk 23:10, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

No problem. =) Thanks again for your hard work. Alphachimp ^talk 23:26, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Rtierno

Ah, I see what happened. Rtierno created this article in User:Example's sandbox thinking it was the place to do it. (In fact the place is for examples in help pages). He then moved the article he created several times (probably had problems in understanding namespaces and naming conventions. I'm going to move the article to José L. Duomarco (without the Dr., per naming conventions) and remove some of the redirects. Feel free to adjust whatever note you left him. It's probably a good idea to explain namespaces an naming conventions. - Mgm|^(talk) 07:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Chunkey Pandey

Hi there: Ok, if you say he's notable so be it. Very few Google hits, and mostly relate to a Court case. But Ok, you're the boss.--Anthony.bradbury 21:05, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Alright. Is he notable before the film is released? Perhaps so. OK.--Anthony.bradbury 21:18, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not trying to be difficult, though on looking back at my entries I can see that you could be forgiven for thinking that I was. I have no intention of doing anything else to the article. Thank you for your patience.--Anthony.bradbury 21:34, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Andy/Andrew/John Rigney

Hey, I see we were both redirecting the pages User:Rigney made. He created a total of eight pages about (I'm presuming) himself with three versions of his name and all possible capitalizations. I redirected to Andy Rigney because of this IMDB.com entry I found where he is listed as such. I sort of wonder if he should have an article at all, since it seems he's mainly a supporting crew member in all the credits listed there and he created 8 pages for himself. Fabricationary 02:58, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I've listed Andy Rigney for deletion here. Fabricationary 03:26, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Mental health template

I have commented on it, thanks for alerting me. And thanks for the talk page compliment. :) — The King of Kings 02:18 July 12 '06

Speedy

Just so we're clear about this; you want your monobook.js deleted - not the monobook.jsed you linked to, right? - Mgm|^(talk) 04:44, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

monobook.js deleted

You created it, so I'm happy to delete it. It's gone now. See ya. - Mgm|^(talk) 19:23, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Cherie (actress)

Hi,

I have just checked the page I have created on Cherrie (actress) and it says she's not listed on the IMDB website? You are incorrect my friend. She is listed under Cherie (II). There is a link there under the window with her picture.

Norum 14.07.2006

The articles title is Cherie (actress) here is the imdb link under the title name Cherie [1] and it is also also reposted content just discovered [2]. There is a Cherie 111 listed in the imdb link as a Batman actress but not as a pornographic actress.--John Lake 15:13, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

But when you click on the imdb link under her name, it leads you to the right Cherie, it doesn't link you to the whole list.

Agonizer (band) does not appear to be speediable

John, I've taken the speedy tag off of Agonizer (band) because it did not appear to meet the criteria for speedy deletion. If you believe the article should be deleted, I recommend you post it at WP:AFD. JDoorjam Talk 18:04, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I'll give Sasuke a hand while you're gone -- who knows, maybe it'll be a featured article by the time you get back.  :) Travel safely! JDoorjam Talk 00:20, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

Thanks for taking time to give your opinion on my RfA. I can work on all of the constructive criticism given before I consider RfA again. I hope to see you around Wikipedia. Thanks! Abcdefghijklm 21:04, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Max & Erma's

Thanks for the merge on Max and Erma's -- I've done the merge, I guess I didn't search hard enough for the article. Cliffb 01:42, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

John -- merging pages is really easy -- I looked up the instructions and was actually amazed -- Be Bold next time and go for it! Take a quick peek over at: Wikipedia:Merging_and_moving_pages Cliffb 01:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Graciela Fernández Meijide

Please could you suggest at Talk:Graciela Fernández Meijide what needs to be done in terms of cleanup having placed the notice on the page. I realise I have to add the sources I used but am concerned to know if there's a more fundamental problem, and perhaps it's easier for me to correct it now. Mtiedemann 08:15, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

My RfA thanks

Hello John Lake/archive2, and thank you for your support at my Request for Adminship, which succeeded with an overwhelming final count of (105/2/0). I was very pleased with the outpouring of kind words from the community that has now entrusted me with these tools, from the classroom, the lesson in human psychology and the international resource known as Wikipedia. The Free Encyclopedia. Please feel free to leave me plenty of requests, monitor my actions (through the admin desk on my userpage) and, if you find yourself in the mood, listen to some of what I do in real life. In any case, keep up the great work and have a fabulous day. Grandmasterka 05:51, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

José Luis Duomarco article

Thank you John for your help. Someone tagged my article for cleanup. What can I do to improve it? Thank you again. .--Rosana19 July 2006

I've already figured out the problem. Thank you anyway. .--Rosana

FYI

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... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, Freakofnurture, and Titoxd 05:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

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.

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...

November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!) Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. What's New? The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one! A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello. Signed...
