Help with a translation

Hi my name is Ricardo and I'm working in related articles to Cúcuta (a colomabian city).

Can you help me to translate this one to Hydrography of Cúcuta and North Santander.

Thanks!

Ricardo Ramírez! ✍ 22:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Sure, Ricardo, I'd love to. It might be a while though; I've been really busy with real life, so I've only been able to get in a few edits a day. ;) — † Webdinger ^BLAH | SZ 23:48, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

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...

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.

Thanks for uploading Image:AntarcticAirNewZealandRoute.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peter O. (Talk) 01:29, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey

Hey, hope you remember me! Anyway, just wanted to see how you were doing, how your exams are going, etc. since it's been so long. I know you're busy with exams, so take your time. Hope you have a great New Year - The RSJ ^Sign my book |^CCD 05:15, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey, RSJ — just wanted to make sure I replied to your nice greeting on my talk page. Well, my exams (finals) are over, and that template that I had had been out of date since December 15! ;) But anyway, I've been relatively inactive on Wikipedia since I've been out of town and working on assorted things. I just noticed that on your user talk page you have the current time in Salt Lake City — I was just there, stopping in the airport on my way to Boise from where I live in Colorado Springs.

I wanted to also take the time to tell you that I've played RuneScape in the past, although I'm hardly ever online these days. My username is Webdinger. I'll get on sometime and see if you're there so we can chat. Anyway, it was very kind of you to offer me such a nice note! Thanks! ;) — † Webdinger ^BLAH | SZ 23:00, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for replying. Hope you enjoyed Salt Lake City International Airport :) The RSJ ^Sign my book|^CCD 23:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

State template changes

Hi Webdinger,

I'll add in the striping as soon as the last few states are converted to the standard form. I wasn't aware of the consensus on the pipes versus bullets; the only reason I went with bullets is because of the fact that inside of template, pipes are a pain to use. I'll go back and convert everything to pipes within the day. --CapitalR 20:37, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for understanding! — † Webdinger ^BLAH | SZ 20:40, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

State template editing links

Hi! Thanks for the very kind words, I didn't know about the ongoing talks... let me read over all that, then I'll pitch in a bit. I wanted to get more into the template stuff, and it seemed like a good way to help--didn't mean to step on toes! I'll read it all over in a bit... - Denny 17:11, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Untitled section #1

You know what, I can do whatever I like. If you had known Samir Patel personally, you would know what I'm talking about. Kunal Sah

On Wikipedia, you may do whatever you like under the guidelines of contributing encyclopedic content. Your comments regarding Patel and yourself do not constitute encyclopedic content. You may want to read the policies and guidelines, as well, if you still believe that you may add whatever you please to Wikipedia. — † Webdinger ^BLAH | SZ 02:47, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

"And quit being so damn bossy." I am not being bossy; I am merely stating to you that you cannot do as you please on Wikipedia. You may take my advice, or you may not. Please stop pestering me and vandalizing my talk page, or you may possibly be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you. — † Webdinger ^BLAH | SZ 02:43, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Dude, Webdinger, sorry about all of this confusion. My stupid 12-year-old cousin got onto my wikipedia account because it was saved on my computer, and he placed this misunderstanding between us. Sorry for his stupidity and him vandalizing your site, or whatever. Please talk back ASAP. Plus, he did all the stuff on Samir Patel, too. I mean, I dislike him, but I told my cousin that and he posted it on wikipedia. User: Kunal Sah

Colorado template

Webdinger, thank you for creating the Colo. template. I've added topics of Military and Museums, and alphabetized the topics. This template is a great addition to Colo. articles. Best regards, LanceBarber 05:00, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your kind words, Lance! I didn't create the template, but all the same ;) Please feel free to do whatever you feel should be done to the template that would improve it! — † Webdinger ^BLAH | SZ 03:07, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Harry Potter roll-call

Hi there. Your username is listed on the WikiProject Harry Potter participants list, but we are unsure as to which editors are still active on the project. Your name has therefore been moved to a "potentially inactive" list. If you still consider yourself an active WikiProject Harry Potter editor, please move your name from the Potentially inactive list to the Active Contributors list. You may also wish to add {{User WP Harry Potter}} to your userpage, if you haven't done so already. Conversely, if you do not wish to be considered a member of the WikiProject, leave your name where it is and it will be moved to the Inactive Contributors section. If you wish to make a clean break with the Project you may move your name to the Known to have left section. Many thanks.
