Another Esperanzial note...
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.
Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

Manitowoc
Thanks for clearing up the Manitowoc/Two Rivers "suburb" line. I tripped over that in my last reading of the page, but I had no clue how to correct it. There's no way Two Rivers is a suburb of Manitowoc. Jachim69 07:41, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Northern Ontario
I'll rewrite it to be a little more clear, but the part of Nipissing that lays below the "dividing line" is still considered part of Northern Ontario, because it's part of Nipissing. Bearcat 07:33, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
- The green areas were already explained in the article; they're treated as part of Northern Ontario in some circumstances (FedNor, Ministry of Northern Development and Mines) because they're a bit of a transition zone economically and culturally between the south and the north, but they're not considered part of Northern Ontario geographically.

Category:Midian et. al
Hello, TShilo12. I would like your opinion and feedback regarding a discussion I am having with Briangotts here about various categories including Category:Midian and Category:Edom. This issue is whether the categories themselves should be subcategories of Category:Torah people and Category:Torah places, or whether just the articles which actually are about Category:Torah people, such as the parent article Edom and Esau, should be tagged. Further explanation and a place to both voice your opinion and vote may be found on the talk page of Category:Midian. Thank you for your time and input. -- Avi 19:35, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Image:Regent-Parrot-238.jpg
I didn't see the discussion behind why this image was deleted, but just so you know, I copied it to nl:Afbeelding:Regent-Parrot-238.jpg. If it was legitimately deleted, I'll leave its deletion from the Dutch[REDACTED] in your capable hands. Tomer 01:50, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- That image was deleted because it was licensed under {{cc-by-nd-nc}}, not {{cc-by-sa-2.5}}. (That was how it was tagged when you copied it to NL, but it was wrong.) NL doesn't seem to have a template for the correct license; I don't know whether they accept noncommercial photos anyway. dbenbenn | talk 01:57, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Passover article attacked by missionaries
Hi Tomer: Hope you had a good Shabbat! Please read over the Passover article (it's important because Pesach is coming soon) as we have a gang of missionaries trying to pervert the article and a few others for their own POV missionary ends (rachmana litzlan). Your input would be greatly appreciated as soon as possible. Be well. Thank you. IZAK 18:49, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

- Hi, with regards to replacement I was mostly thinking along the lines of "drawing" a new map, there is not a whole lot of complex topography in this case after all, the biggest trick would be to get the longditudes, latitudes, distances and proportions correct, the islands themseles are basicaly just blobs on the map anyway. --Sherool (talk) 16:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

A new editor is making rather bold claims about Judaism's view of Jesus, and also insisting he knows Jesus' Hebrew name. Could you possibly take a look at Talk:Jesus#Hebrew_name_of_Yehoshua_or_Yeshua and Talk:Judaism's view of Jesus? I'd appreciate it. Jayjg 17:52, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Crimes by admins abusing power
Checkuser cleared us, but the admins refuse to unblock and clear I_AM's name and I'm still blocked too. So much for your admins doing anything other than just covering up their crimes.
EC Website
Hello,
Thank you for the message.
I looked at your pictures. The subjects are good but they contain distractions. But the real secret is in post edit. I cleaned up the in GIMP. Your pictures are fine, they are just raw (not cleaned up) and that is the difference. If you saw the raws of mine you would not be impressed. Even the photos I have are poor, just as you pointed out, because it is winter. It sucks the life out of photos, well at least photos that are not nature based.
As far as the Mosque, there is no active site right now. That will hopefully be fixed soon. Also there are no photos of it because it is not green out yet (and the old photos I have do not show the whole building).
I have tons of photos on CD, I should look through and see what I have on Chippewa.
Finally, is appropriate to answer a message in usertalk within your own usertalk or on the usertalk of the sender?
Thanks,

P-ENERGEN
I'm glad to hear the article now has sponsors (parents? mentors?) and hope they can make an encyclopedic article about that product. One of the three deleted paragraphs has eight fact tags in it, and (barring forthcoming evidence that one can have hepatitis and cancer electrically shocked out of them) I don't know how they're going to show the notability of this product, so that's not gonna be completely easy. As with all deletions I've made, I hope they prove me wrong, and that a really great article can be written about this. Thanks for letting me know, JDoorjam Talk 12:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

P-ENERGEN rewritten
We've helped the original author rewrite the deleted article now, the current version can be seen at User:Henrik/sandbox/PYRO-ENERGEN. Can we declare it fit for article space once more?

Masturbation
Your revision description, (rm "Solitary masturbation carries no risk of pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases." You'd have to be terminally moronic to think it could, in which case this sentence isn't gonna help anyways.), is the second funniest desc. I've seen; only second to (removed living persons category- a person is either living or dead). TKE 04:19, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

YOU will love this request...
Hi Tomer: I have received the following request concerning Rabbi Yaakov Meidan:
- Rav Meidan, now a Rosh Yeshiva in Yeshivat Har Etzion, recently requested that his name be spelled in English publications as "Yaaqov Medan." As you can imagine, this spelling garners much fewer Google hits than when spelled with a k. Should his article, and all mentions of him, be changed to "Yaaqov" in deference to him as a self-identifying entity, or not? I'm not familiar enough with WP:NC to know the answer. Thanks, DLand 18:31, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Input is welcome. IZAK 20:41, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
'Would you be a dear, and fetch me that pen? Thanks.'
Tomer, thank you for your comment. I am not an expert on subjunctive mood, having learned it by example and usage in ostensive manner. When I bring up items about this topic to my friends in daily life, their response is 'how else would you express it?'. The keyword is "would", in my opinion. Here is my justification for the classification:
- A virtual occurrence - Wife A asked, but A did not know outcome
- A: Would you be a dear, and fetch me that pen?
- Husband B hears and fetches (no longer virtual, is now real). B hands over pen as the outcome.
- A: Thanks.
- Now B knows he is dear to A. Another close call for the marriage.
So 'would', 'should', 'could', 'might' get lumped into subjunctive usage, in my book; they signal a virtual existence. No probability of occurrence is assigned, merely possibility.
But 'will', 'shall', 'can', 'may' signal a different usage, to me. In this case, they are uttered in the present as an expectation for the future, with a high probability of occurrence. Their usage can be countered with a subjunctive statement.
Thus to me, subjunctive trumps both imperative and indicative.
C mutters to D:
- "It might dangerous to stick up your head"
D sticks up his bare head, and a bullet twangs against his forehead, stunning him. A, B, and C can only laugh. D is rueful. Ernie Pyle documented an occurrence like this in World War II.
- Thus in my view, only action trumps the subjunctive.
Any insight you might have would be welcome. --Ancheta Wis 11:47, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- I dunno about the grammatical aspect, but I think somehow only action trumps the subjunctive might be an interesting insight on how to spend ones life. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 22:34, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Camp Timberlane for Boys
Hello. I was wondering if you could take a gander at Camp Timberlane for Boys; a new user is trying to add information about a podcast that I really don't think is notable; I've already removed it once, asked for notability on the talk page, and reverted once, so I'd like someone else to take a look before this turns into an edit war.

Re: ECCF railways
I'll try to make time tonight to take a closer look. Both SOO and CNW are "fallen flags" now, SOO being part of CP, and CNW part of The Borg UP. At the SCWD meeting last week we had a clinic on railfanning throughout Wisconsin and the handout was a current state rail map. I'll dig it out and talk to a couple friends over at DOT (maybe even Uncle Rodney) this week. Slambo (Speak) 15:03, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
WP:WPWI, HollyAm, etc.
Hello Tomer. Have you heard from HollyAm at all? I'm assuming she's taking a wikibreak, like she did from 2002 to May 2005.
I saw on her talk page that you were wondering how the Recent Changes in Wisconsin-related articles list was updated; it's something that I created back in August 2005. Its sort of clunky, but it works and doesn't take too much work to update. I go to the Template:WikiProject Wisconsin page, then click on "What links here". I then copy everything that gets spit out, and paste it into an Excel spreadsheet. I automatically remove all the "talk:"'s, leaving the articles, categories, etc. I then sort the list by type and alphabetize it, pasting the results in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Wisconsin/Wisconsin_recent_changes. Insert the headings, and voila. Updated list. Now that I'm back, I'll start doing this once a week again.
Also, a very-belated congrats on your RfA. Sorry I wasn't around to support you in it, though I can see you really didn't need it.
Cheers. --BaronLarf 16:49, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- I'm sorry that you interpreted my comments on the University of Wisconsin talk page as "intellectual subterfuge." I wasn't trying to screw your words around, just show where I thought we had common ground and then state my own case. Cheers. --BaronLarf 01:54, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Camelid edit
Probably worth saving, but it needs to cleaned up and laicized - I don't know what half of this means - and wikified with links etc. The addition sounds like it was written by a non-native English-speaker who knows a lot about camel physiology, but not much about writing a good English Misplaced Pages article. --Jpbrenna 05:00, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Persian people#History
Could you take a look at the first sentence in this section? It claims that Persians are descendants of some "Aryan tribes" migrating from Central Asia. Sounds like outdated racial theories to me.
