HIGNFY

I'm not happy about your recent edit to Have I Got News for You. You removed the inappropriate tone tag and reverted some of my edits without explanation. If you disagree, fine. However I had explained my concerns fully on the talk page and would appreciate if you could discuss points there rather that reverting without explanation. I have made some improvements but there are many more required.

I've re-removed the information, let me explain. "Morgan appeared to be well and truly vanquished and somewhat humiliated" is loaded with POV. It is a fact that Morgan made a total idiot of himself however I've changed it to "Morgan appeared to be humiliated" which is fact without opinion.

I've re-removed the James Bond/invisible car joke. That does not represent a "choice moment" - it is non-notable in my opinion.

I've re-removed the Paul & Ian gay marriage thing. Again, it is non-notable. It's just a joke, we can't list every single joke on the show.

Thanks for your time. Mark83 09:08, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Your message

Hi Gary! I thought I should let you know that there is a mistake in your message box. You sent me this, and a |} tag was missing. It resulted in a straneg new message from an other user ([1], see the bottom). I solved it like that. Cheers! :) NCurse _work 16:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

British Lion Films

Hi Gary Kirk, you just removed British Lion Films from the distributors in The Long Good Friday. The thing is, I am using British Lion Films archives and trying to mark all their films, so we can create a new category on them. If I put it back you won't be cross with me, will you? Anyway, I will wait to hear from you before I put it back. Hoverfish 22:19, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I put them back. Bob Hoskins is my favorite too and I just found one of the best films I've enjoyed him in and it has no article yet! There will be one soon though. If you're into comedy too, don't miss: The Favour, the Watch and the Very Big Fish. Also Jeff Goldblum is in. Hoverfish 22:51, 1 November 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.

Your RfA thankyou box

It seems to be causing some odd formatting errors on people's talk pages. See: User talk:Junglecat. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 19:22, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello, yes, I know about this - it is merely a case of adding |} to the end. I've been quite busy recently and haven't done it...it's quite time-consuming, on a PDA...I'm not even sure if I've thanked all my neutrals yet...I will try and do it soon though. — Gary Kirk // talk! 19:48, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
