Welcome!
Hello, The Giant Puffin/Archive 1, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
- Merging, redirecting, and renaming pages
- If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! --Dwaipayanc 11:32, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Great Britain userbox template
I've reverted your reversion of the edit I made to the Great Britain userbox template. There is an ongoing attempt to standardise the appearance of userboxes. A 45 x 45 pixel "ID box" is one of those standards. I agree with you that, by itself, the wider flag looks better; however, it looks completely out of place with other (related) userboxes. -- Scjessey 21:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Community Justice
You are added to the council. Computerjoe 18:51, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Community Justice
Dear members of Community Justice,
This message is just a simple newsletter, telling you of some recent progress.
Community Justice didn't get as many members as we initially hoped, however we currently have 11, including a few sysops.
The temporary council is now fully set-up, and it will remain in it's current form unless someone contacts me (or uses the talk page) to say that they wish to join the council, or to hold a higher post. In this case, an election will be organised.
We have created two warning tags: {{civil1}} and {{civil2}}. These aren't been widely used, so I ask you to use them when you see fit.
Finally, thanks! Computerjoe 19:26, 25 February 2006 (UTC) (delivered in AWB).
Your edit summary give the impression you didn't create this out of nothing, but still you might be interested in the vote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RuneScape news. NickelShoe 04:33, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
You're being very harsh
Could you try and stop being so negative and picky to people? Things like [User talk:Cilencia this] and this are just plain being nasty. Those two people made very good edits and not once did you thank them for that. You went straight on to being picky, pointing at any negative things. I feel you are very harsh and you should read WP:BITE. J.J.Sagnella 16:52, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
While I'm here, making articles about single Islands in RuneScape is very silly and just clogs up Wikipedia's space. Thank you for listening to me and I hope you can change. J.J.Sagnella 16:52, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Let's put it this way, they made good edits right? You didn't praise them once. It was just criticise,criticise,criticise. And that sounds very hypocritical. On one hand, you can't stand lots of little edits which clog Wikipedia,but on the other hand you want to make articles which Clog Wikipedia even more? J.J.Sagnella 17:03, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- If people were to do things like criticise they would always thank the user first, if it is just complaints it makes the user want to leave Wikipedia. I suugest being a lot more friendly could help. J.J.Sagnella 19:05, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- And what about the other user? and when you say "proper grammer" it is very funny as grammar is spelt with 2 a's. J.J.Sagnella 19:47, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- I still feel that with the user (not the i.p.) You were being very harsh with. He made good edits and you were being very mean. It's things like that which detract people away from Wikipedia. Also, in the RuneScape Article, if it is a long section, it is a better idea to shorten it rather than just send to another article. J.J.Sagnella 20:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
In case you're interested, Firemaking (RuneScape) has been proposed for deletion. NickelShoe 19:25, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Unblock
I am requesting to be unblocked. As probably stated before in previous block cases, this computer is a shared one. It is part of a network and used by several users. This, when not noted, results in unjust blocks based on the fact that anohter used the same IP address. Please reply here to discuss the block further. Thanx - • The Giant Puffin • 21:48, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
- You will need to provide the number of the blocked IP. Admins have no way of identifying that number themselves. I have removed the unblock template, and am watching here now for any response. (Email works too) get me the IP, and I'll take a look at why it's blocked. You should be seeing the IP number in the message you are given when you try to edit while the IP is blocked. - TexasAndroid 17:00, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
This is a notification reminding you all, especially councillors, that we are having a meeting where we will try to review progress so far and make a few decisions.
This meeting will be held on a wikipage, and well end on Saturday 15th April.
You can partake in the meeting here.
Thank you,

Welcome to Esperanza
Welcome, The Giant Puffin/Archive 1, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.
Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.
In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.
I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee, JoanneB, Titoxd and FireFox. The April elections have begun.
If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me via email or talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be!
Thanks! _-M o P-_ 18:24, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, I hope to make a good contribution to the group - • The Giant Puffin • 14:06, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Your Userbox UK vote
I just want to check you voted as you inteneded. I just wondered from your comment "There is already one for people who live in the UK, this is the best solution" if you meant to vote for the proposal to change the text to This user lives in the United Kingdom. You needn't reply, just wanted to bring it to yor attention. Thanks! Ian13/talk 16:10, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- My vote was the right one, Thanx :-) - • The Giant Puffin • 16:36, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, but I have had to cancel your vote, because you have not used the box on your userpage or contributed to the userbox before 1 Apr 2006. This has made you illegible to vote. If you feel this is incorrect, please let me know and provide evidence. Thanks! Ian13/talk 10:21, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
As Wikipedia:Community Justice has over 30 members, we are beginning the elections process.

You're Welcome!
Thanks for the thanks :P .
Just a little thing, could you nag some other users to stand for council; as currently there's no enough nominees! Computerjoe's talk 16:43, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
