My RfA

Thanks

John Quincy Adding Machine/Jun2006, thank you for participating in my RfA. Unfortunately, a great number of oppose voters felt that I lacked experience, and a consensus was not reached (the final tally was 30/28/10). Perhaps I will try again in another few months when I have a few more edits under my belt. If I do, I hope I can count on your support. Thanks again! Cool3 talk 20:12, 2 June 2006 (UTC) (UTC)

Re: Cactions

Have added Mathbot link. Many thanks for feedback. Have serious debugging of script to do as per TantalumTelluride; should be fun! (Perhaps an explanation for why this is such a short and concise message!) See you around. Keep the recommendations coming. Cheers, haz (user talk) 17:38, 5 June 2006

Thanks!

Thank you for the wonderful welcome on my user page. I love Wikipedia! Aphrodite7717 03:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

New Wdefcon

Hello. This is a spam message intended to inform you, that the Template:Wdefcon has been rearranged to a new universal scheme, as inspired by a discussion under Template talk:Wdefcon#Levels. This change has rendered some of your subpages obsolete and they can now be deleted. For details, check out Template talk:Wdefcon#Migration done. Thank you and happy editing, Misza13 ^{T C} 10:39, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Template:Illegalparty

Hope you don't mind if I ask a few questions here as I seem to have written loads on the template page! I wrote most of the Free party#Law and Police section and have done research into this and I am confused as to the problem with the label 'illegal'. I agree that what is illegal in the UK is not illegal in Czech so maybe that adds a POV but there is no doubt that in many countries these parties are illegal, not just slightly but there are whole laws [1] [2] [3] against them so. I could find no law against them in Canada but there seems to be enough legal basis (I don't have any training in law but from what I can understand) in calling them illegal. Hope you don't mind me asking but nobody else seemed willing to defened their delete vote so if I can understand why then I'll try to make the template less POV.

This is an international Wikipedia, so the title "illegal party" would be incorrect to some visitors. If a CzechTek is illegal in the UK, well that's completely irrelevant, as it's held on the territory of the Czech Republic, where it's (now) legal. Holding the parties in countries where they're illegal would obviously cause them to be an "illegal party", but as they're mostly held in nations where it's legal, they are not illegal parties, if that makes sense. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 03:29, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I think that makes sense. I would argue that most CzechTek's have been illigeal but then in Italy they aren't so it puts a UK/US bias. I have changed the name from Illegalparty to DIY Parties, hope this means it won't be deleted! Rex the first ^{talk | contribs} 09:01, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I've added a mini notice to the top of the vote, an admin passing by will probably close it soon. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 09:09, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

EU map

A small addition to the map: please add a circle for the French islands "St Pierre" and "Miquelon", off the east coast of Canada. They are also (very much) a part of the EU.

Thanks Cheers JJN

I can't, I'm not a cartographer. The islands are probably not there just because they aren't judged large/important enough to be included. That map is based on one of these maps, which already lack those isles. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 02:50, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Your signature

Hello there, I was wondering if you would please modify your signature to conform to the guidelines laid out at Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages. The general guidelines are that signatures shouldn't contain images, they shouldn't contain unnecessary internal links or any external links, and they shouldn't be unnecessarily long in Wiki source. The reasoning for this final bit is that overly long signatures tend to overwhelm the actual comments in edit mode, making it hard to track down and respond to specific comments. You can fix your signature by removing any images and external links, any unnecessary links (like links to Wikipedian organizations, articles, or subpages in userspace), and removing excessive color, font, and formatting code. Thank you. --Cyde↔Weys 20:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, in response to your comments on my talk about my sig, I think you may be refering to my older one which streched out for over 5 lines, as it had borders around the images. I like to keep in the images, they're tiny both in the layout and the Wikisource (even though the name of the Australian one is rather long, but that's for clarity's sake, not my fault). They're easily identifiable and distinguishable from my actual comments, even in wikisource. I went through several sigs in the last fortnight, so if you could just enlighten me as to the one you're refering to. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 11:49, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

No, I'm referring to your current signature. It has two images. Images aren't allowed in sigs. Please remove them. --Cyde↔Weys 12:58, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

:No, images are depreciated, not banned. I have stopped using images for the reason of unnecessary server load (due to me welcoming new users a lot, which caused the pix to be included in quite of lot of user talks), using ASCII characters instead. But you claim that my sig owerwhelms code, which isn't true in my case, it does not overwhelm any code, it's blatantly distinguashable from my comments. But if it will make you happier I'll stop signing my posts all-together, perhaps that will stop overwhelming them. +Hexagon1 ^(t) |*̥̲̅ ̲̅†̲̅| |>̲̅-̲̅| 13:28, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Editted Image

Hi Hexagon1! I editted an image you'd been maintaining: Image:Anglospeak.png. In South America, French Guiana was highlighted instead of Guyana. Just wanted to give you a heads up. --Chris Quackenbush 15:48, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, cool. I didn't choose the countries to be coloured though, I only updated the map with info from a now deleted en:Wiki map, rm'd Québec, and separated the countries that actualy speak English from those that have it as an official language. But I'm glad you took the incentive to change it, rather then bombarding me with email requests or worse, writing corrections on the page itself. +Hexagon1 ^(t) |*̥̲̅ ̲̅†̲̅| |>̲̅-̲̅| 02:51, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Conversion

Hi, I saw your message in my talk page in zh:User_talk:Zhengzhu. I have been inactive for a while so sorry for my late reply. The sr wiki is running a conversion system similar to the Chinese one, and should be more easily adapted for use for the gothic wiki (they have two sets of alphabet as well). Please try contacting people there for support. -Zhengzhu 02:42, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
