List of the University of North Texas' persons?

I'm afraid I don't quite understand the reasoning behind changing the name of this article. The original style ("List of University of North Texas people") is the same as that used in all of the similar articles under the Lists of people by university affiliation - USA category (for example, List of University of Texas at Austin people and List of Stanford University people). Let me know if there's something I'm missing here... — Hedgey42 20:11, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It just sounded wierd to me....--Ac1983fan 22:30, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am ticked off

Seriously... I'm logged in, and I can't even edit my own User Page!!!!!--Ac1983fan 14:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And it's all because I'm using this at a maine state library IP, and the other users are immature jerks....--Ac1983fan 14:18, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Serious cases of vandalism might have led the administrators to block the particular IP addresses. You can report your problems on this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrator's_noticeboard. --Andy123 14:56, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I CAN'T EDIT THE PAGE BECAUSE I'M AT SCHOOL AND MY SCHOOL USES THE MAINE STATE LIBRARY IP'S AND PEOPLE FROM THOSE IP'S CANNOT EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--Ac1983fan 18:34, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Has your school network blocked this or has the Wikipedia blocked it? Computerjoe 's talk 18:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has. But its stupid, because the moment the block is lifted, everyone's going to vandalize again... Frigg it...--Ac1983fan 18:38, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please tell me your IP address, and I'll provide you info of the blocking admin so you can contact him/her. Computerjoe 's talk 18:43, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help Me

Hi. Well, it appears I have been autoblocked because somebody used my wireless network to vandalise. Could someone un-block me please?--acfan-Talk to me 19:18, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock}} is the template you want to use for this case. But anyway, tell me which admin it was, and the IP etc and I'll contact them for you.--Commander Keane 19:23, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.

Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing.

You were blocked by Antandrus for the following reason (see our blocking policy): "Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Superspam111". The reason given for Superspam111's block is: "vandal account"." Your IP address is 207.5.141.142.

That's what I get when I try to edit any page other than my User talk page.

Thanks again!--acfan-Talk to me 19:25, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings; I'll fix it. Check in about five minutes. Antandrus (talk) 19:33, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Thank you.--acfan-Talk to me 19:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See if it works now; the wiki's being slow at the moment. (We get this problem all the time with the autoblocker blocking innocent people.) Happy editing, Antandrus (talk) 19:36, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AIV Report

(NOTE: I added the header acfan-Talk to me)

Hi, Ac1983fan. Regarding a report you made at WP:AIV, you just put it as ===[[User:204.100.220.2]]===, which, when saved, appeared as User:204.100.220.2 in big letters (as it was a heading).

In future, if you're making such a report, can you make it like this: {{subst:vandal|204.100.220.2}}. That will expand into 204.100.220.2 (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log). That makes it much easier for the admin to find all the evidence quickly, including what vandalism has been done, whether or not the vandal has been warned, and whether or not he or she has already been blocked by someone else. The vandal has been blocked now. Cheers. AnnH ♫ 21:53, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I didn't read the big green box on the page right away, and by the time I saw it, someone had already fixed it.--acfan-Talk to me 23:13, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Vandals

This will need to be emptied before it can be deleted. Vegaswikian 00:45, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My nomination

Thank you for nominating me! I'm going to read up the administrators guide and form my questions then I'll officially accept. Thanks again. Jedi6 -(need help?) 05:21, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have accepted the nomination, Thank You again. Jedi6 -(need help?) 23:22, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nintendo nplay

Thanks for your speedy revert of my move. I'm sorry for taking a hoax as fact. Chris Chan.talk.contribs 11:59, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

heh, it's ok. Anybody could have fallen for it...--acfan-Talk to me 13:15, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia_talk:Censorship

A watered-down version of the proposed policy against censorship is now open for voting. Will you kindly review the policy and make your opinions known? Thank you very much.Loom91 18:18, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Esperanza!

Welcome, FormerEditor2718/02, 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 should read the guide to what to do now or you may 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 will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, 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 comprised of KnowledgeOfSelf, JoanneB, FireFox and Titoxd. The next set of elections will be in April, and I would be glad to see you vote, or even consider running for a position.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Celestianpower by email or talk page or the Esperanza 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 work!

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #2

Barnstar Brigade
The Barnstar Brigade is a new program aimed at giving more very deserving yet unappreciated users barnstars. It will officially start on 2006-04-09, but signing up is encouraged before this date: "Here in Wikipedia, there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go un-appreciated. 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 un-noticed. Sadly, these editors often leave the project. As Esperanzians, we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. A project the size of Wikipedia has thousands of editors, so there are plenty of people out there who deserve recognition, one just has to find them. The object of this program is not to flood editors with Barnstars, but to seek out people who deserve them, and make them feel appreciated."
Stress Alerts
The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them.
Information
Welcome to the second issue of the new format Esperanza Newsletter - we hope you still like it! This week, it was delivered diligently by our new dogsbody. MiszaBot (run by Misza13): any execution complaints should go to him. Content comments should be directed at the Esperanza talkpage. Thanks!

The last AC meeting (full log)
The next elections: Approval voting as before and, also as before, an previous leadership member can run. Please submit your name for voting in the relevant section of this page. Voting starts on 2006-04-23 and ends on 2006-04-30. There will be three places up for grabs as KnowledgeOfSelf is leaving Wikipedia. Please see the previously linked page for full details. The Code of Conduct is now ready for extensive discussion! Specific comments should go to the Code of Conduct talk page, discussion of having one at all should be directed to the main Esperanza talk page. The current process for accepting proposals for new programs has been deemed fine. All Advisory Council members and the Admin Gen are to endevour to be bold when viewing discussion. If they feel that consensus has been reached, they will act accordingly.
A plea from the editor...
The propsed programs page is terribly underused! Please leave any comments, good or bad, on the page, to help us determine the membership's thoughts on the ideas there.
Signed...

Suggestbot Problems

I noticed you put yourself down to get suggestions for articles to edit. Sadly you accidently put User:Ac1983fab instead of User:Ac1983fan so it made suggestions for a non-existant user. Just a warning so you can readd yourself to the request list if you want. Jedi6 -(need help?) 02:04, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know? {{prod}} can have a parameter.

Hello there. You have proposed the article Sonic hoax for deletion without providing a reason why in the {{prod}} template. You may be interested to know that you can add your reasoning like that: {{prod|Add reason for deletion here}}. This will make your reasoning show up in the article's deletion notice. It will also aid other users in considering your suggestion on the Proposed Deletions log. See also: How to propose deletion of an article. Sandstein 17:13, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chess

Hey, just wanted to remind you that the chess game is still going on! You haven't moved for a couple days, so just wanted to see if you were still there. The game is located here. Later, zappa.jak e (talk) 21:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Still here... Later, zappa.jak e (talk) 16:48, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Virtual Console (Nintendo Wii)

Please verify your facts before moving a page. Just like every Nintendo console before it ("Nintendo Entertainment System", "Super Nintendo Entertainment System", "Nintendo 64" and "Nintendo Gamecube"), the "Nintendo Wii" is officially titled just that, with the name "Nintendo" attached, not sans it. Just plain "Wii" is an informal, casual name for it, meant for everyday use, it's not appropriate for use in a Wikipedia title (just as the main Wii article isn't simply titled "Wii".) Dannybu2001 16:24, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay.... apparently someone did move the page to just "Wii", that cannot be accurate. Dannybu2001 16:27, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I've moved it back. I think just calling it Wii is going to cause more confusion than anything (it's still technically Nintendo's (as a company) "Wii", but I can't figure how to add that to lessen confusion since "Wii" is already in the parentheses.) Dannybu2001 16:34, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Holy thanks

Here are just a few awards I'm awarding you for editing and improving The Holy. You may not think it is a big deal but it is to me.

... I am officaly confused.... I only made one edit to the page, and I was reverting some retards vandalism.--A c1983fan (talk • contribs) 23:09, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If General Eisenhower gives you all that for reverting vandalism then I'm scared what he'll do if you make an actual edit! Jedi6 -(need help?) 23:15, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
