First comment![edit]

I got here first :P *runs* — Nathan (talk) / 22:12, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How nice of you. ;) $ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-T|ε|C|L-) 22:13, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
What-a-sig, Cliff! :) *envy* :P Phaedriel The Wiki Soundtrack! - 22:36, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
To think I'll be designing (?) my user page after it! :D $ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-T|ε|C|L-) 23:40, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
/me sneaks in and gives Phaedriel a hug when she's not looking..ok you can have one too, Cliff. — Nathan (talk) / 03:12, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You use any excuse, don't you? ;) $ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-T|ε|C|L-) 03:21, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
He does. Will (Take me down to the Paradise City) 10:03, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Cliff! *Looks akwardly at the strange scene involving everyone hugging each other* Uh, I see you are busy. :-P.. Meet me later in the Coffee Lounge. *shakes head and leaves*. :-D.. Jayant,17 Years, Indiacontribs 11:22, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

UP Design & I'm Back...[edit]

...and hungry, with an empty fridge, another example of the great thought I put into planning necessities like food!

I've got a few sandboxes and can always create a new one if needed. All I need is a few colour suggestions (like the purple) and an image or two you like (although you can't use fair use images on your user page, as I found out the hard way!).

There's also a layout I was playing with here (although it needs a lot of work).

Well, I suppose we should just take this one step at a time. I myself an not quite sure what I want other than the navigation bar, so that's all I will put up here. Something like
$PЯINGεrαgђ (space) TАĿКεrαgђ (space) [Whatever link goes to contributions (shows you how often I check them)|COΝTЯIBrαgђ] (space) ßΘXεrαgђ (space) ßAЯN$TAЯαgђ
I think that's all. (Boy, that Barnstar link sure is corny.) $ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-T|ε|C|L-) 20:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LOLs off into the distance...[edit]

Hey, thanks. Glad I could give you a giggle ;) And I'm sorry I missed out on all the hugging earlier. I guess I'll have to make up for it now, right? Well then... *Manly hug* you know, in a brotherly kind of way :) Thε Halo Θ 20:21, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, of course. Every guy's got to act macho in front of everyone else! :P $ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-T|ε|C|L-) 20:25, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Act? My dear Springer, (I should call you that now, right?) how do you know I'm not that macho naturally? ;) Thε Halo Θ 21:01, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-T|ε|C|L-) 21:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh man, you too? Wow *wipes tear from his eye smiles in a macho kind of way* Thank you so much my friend. I think you derserve on of these as well, for being there always...

I, Thε Halo Θ, award you this barstar for always being an excellent friend and a generally nice guy to everyone. You really have a whole lot to offer this project ;)

I mean every word. Thε Halo Θ 22:09, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hug + Design[edit]

I felt left out, so: *worryingly un-macho hug with pink frilly bits in it*...

I'll have a go at designing a purple-ish nav bar as a start now.

EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 22:27, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've been playing again- take a look here and pass any feedback you have. EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 19:30, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It would be nice, if I understood Latin better. Is that going to be the navigation bar? $ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-T|ε|C|L-) 23:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It could be anything: I was playing with adding a side bar for navigation, but Wikipedia doesn't seem to like the code at the moment.

More tomorrow, after sleep!

Thank you, thank you![edit]

Cliff-rules! Cliff-rules! :) Thank you baby! :) You know we must split the world in two now, as we have both a King and a Queen? ;) No, I won't fight for it as you suggested :P I hope you like the thank you present I've prepared for you, baby - I've just delivered 5, and I have 266 more to go! :) Talk to you when this is over, k?

Sorry Mate...[edit]

Hii.. I was busy for the past few days coming home from Kuwait (and to the sweet old rains in my country). Yeah, we are still playing the game. But, I thought I told you to start it because you're gonna become a dad. :-P.. Jayant,17 Years, Indiacontribs 09:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recovered![edit]

I've pretty much recovered, but need to catch up with the work I missed whilst ill, so probably won't be around for a week or so (at least no regularly).

Your userpage design is still on my list, I swear!

Halo and I on Wikibreak[edit]

It's to do with Snopake. (Well, mine is, and I assume that's why the Halo's on wikibreak as well. It's also why Nathan's upset) Will (Take me down to the Paradise City) 10:03, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Theatre and such....[edit]

Hi Spring!! While old Shakespeare is good, especially Hamlet, I'm going to have to go with Arthur Miller as my favourite, though the list of ones I like could go on forever! ;) How about you? Any perticular favourite?

And don't worry too much about the real life stuff. It's a bit complicated, but, hopfully, it shouldn't keep me off for too long.

You probably are awake right now, but I'll be back to sleep soon ;) It's always great to hear from you :) Thε Halo Θ 22:49, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow…it's been a while since I've actually seen a play, even though I have studied a few scripts (yes, most of them were Shakespeare), but I'm not sure if I have a favourite. If opera counted as plays, would those count? ;) Within the world of the Bard, though, I think my favourite plays are The Tempest and As You Like It. —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-C|ε|L|T-) 23:02, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks/UP[edit]

Thanks for the birthday greetings!

The userpage looks fine: as far as I know, you can't alter the background colour of the message box template. There is a way to incorporate any content below the navigation boxes by using the div tag and leaving it open, like so:

<div id="main" style="width:90%; color: #666666; background-color: #99CC00; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica sans-serif;"> Content here

EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME 18:40, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm…what is #666666? Grey, it would appear. Is the background colour off the message box about the same as the you have new messages box? Because I actually like it that way. —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-C|ε|L|T-) 20:07, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I liked the colour too. It's a lighter colour than the 'new messages' panel, but does look pretty good. EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME 20:23, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Complements the white and purple. ;) Well, it'll be done eventually (even copy+paste takes a while making the individual boxes). —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-C|ε|L|T-) 20:29, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

August Esperanza Newsletter[edit]

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.
  1. 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!
  2. The In development section of the proposals page has been created.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
  6. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign.
Signed...

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.

Surreal barnstar[edit]

What, I don't get one? I'm as much as an injred party as Halo and Snopake. (just kidding!). Thanks for giving us support :) Will (Take me down to the Paradise City) 12:24, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here's your barnstar: >:D Sorry, coldn't help it. "This user is evil…" —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-¢|ε|Ŀ|T|-) 14:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oi[edit]

Lol I just saw my name on your userpage, part of the wikilove club. :P Thanks for the mention. :) Also, I thought I'd just drop a line to say that I've seen you around, and that you're a great Wikipedian and Esperanzian, keep it up! All the best -- Banes 14:00, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oi, oi, oi! (It's fun to say that!) :D Thanks for the note; I've been watching you too I've seen you doing things too (the other one sounded too evil) and let's just say they aren't all mistakes. ;) —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-¢|ε|Ŀ|T|-) 14:37, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re:.....User Page.[edit]

Hii, Must say, Pretty Impressive! I am gonna nominate you for the best user page award! :-P.. BTW, for your notebook, I came up with this, Its better to be late in this world, than to be early in the next., by my brother (though I think he got it from somewhere else), when I told him to drive faster. What do ya think of it? Jayant,17 Years, Indiacontribs 19:29, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Funny, kind of. :D I am going to put one up my gpa said: It is better to be rude, then wish you had been kind; than to be kind, and wish you were rude. Even thought I don't completely agree with it, it is pretty true.
About the user page…wait until I'm finished with most of my sub-pages and talk pages first! ;) —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-¢|ε|Ŀ|T|-) 19:54, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I have to agree with your grandpa. Its starting to drizzle over here. Hows the weather over there? Still hot? Jayant,17 Years, Indiacontribs 20:20, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not terribly hot, since summer is closing here. Today as of noon Pacific Time it is only about 88°…something not very far over 30C. Yesterday was a little warmer, but I think it's cooling down. —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-¢|ε|Ŀ|T|-) 20:24, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
EDIT: Wow, I just saw your talk page! ( I think I am the first one to see its new form!) Its pretty groovy! It reminds of the song Purple Haze by Hendrix. :-P. Dont ask me why! Jayant,17 Years, Indiacontribs 20:23, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thats nice to hear. Jayant,17 Years, Indiacontribs 20:40, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your page and other stuffs[edit]

Hi Spring, just wanted to drop you a line to say how totally cool your userpage, and this one is. Nice page design ;) Also to thank you for the surreal barnstar, and to appologise for not getting back to you sooner (nothing personal, I've just been pretty busy :)

Anyway, I'll let you get back to editing now, and I'll talk to you again when I'm not so snowed under.

See you soon! Thε Halo Θ 23:36, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

About my birthday[edit]

You can be nosy and blunt enough to ask, but I'm not going to answer for privacy reasons. Sorry. Is this about seeing if you are older or younger than me? If you have a specific reason you want to know you can tell me your b-day (if I could be so blunt) and I'll tell you who's older. I'm guessing this is somehow related to the discussion at the coffee house, right? Ungovernable ForceThe Wiki Kitchen! 02:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it is. My birthday is July 30 (1987 as it may be assumed). Pardon the Irish curiosity. —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-¢|ε|Ŀ|T|-) 16:46, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reply[edit]

Lol, I'm not going to go dormant at all. In fact, my article edits are going to pick up now since I no longer feel the 'weight' of the admin tasks and can focus on simple editing. :) I'll be seeing you around the wiki, all the best -- Banes 09:15, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help me with this??[edit]

Hey Cliff, there's this article I created, my very first!!!....So, I just thought you could take a look at it and correct it if necessary at places. And, please suggest me if I need to add anything else in the page. I'd like to improve it as far as possible. And tell me if its good enough to be there in the first place.....thanks a lot!!...(@pr!<0rI\I 09:21, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, first thing, it's very good for a first article, and there are only two things that I immediately see. First the statement "his best work, that came up in the year 1985", although a good start for the article, should perhaps be something like "…written in 1985". "His best work" may not be completely NPOV but I myself am not going to edit that just yet (you can if you think necessary). The other thing I might not even need to point out, because in time this will inevitably be corrected, but it needs a few more links to other articles, which I can do if you like, or you can do it yourself. For a little more help, try Wikipedia:Articles. But keep them going, and here's my toast to many more! :) Slàinte! —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-¢|ε|Ŀ|T|-) 16:43, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
