Welcome
Hi! I'm bored, so i'm writing to everyone i know on this site (sadly, that won't take long) in order to see if they still check thier messages. So, anyway, I'm writing to everyone. Except Jared. I don't know why not Jared. Maybe because he's sitting right next to me. Okay. You're probably asleep by now, this mesage is so boring and piontless. Bye. ~*Sarah*~ 18:46, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Birthday Committee
Mr. Turcotte, thank you for joining the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! This summer, starting on June 14, I will be going on a long WikiVacation, and obviously will not be able to do my "duties" (if you can call them that) as leader of the Birthday Committee. I would like for you to be in charge from June 14 to September 10. This doesn't actually entail much, but you will be allowed to change rules for joining the committee, make some new templates, etc. If you can't do this for any reason before June 14, please notify me. If you decide you don't want to after June 14, please ask NathanRDotCom if he would like to. Should he choose not to, have him ask GeorgeMoney. If he turns it down...use your best judgment on which member should be in charge for those few months. Thank you. Jared W 19:49, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi
hi, so why do you want to be an administrature? Navy Brat 17:49, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Okay? But still why exactly do you want to be an administator? to help? do good? Navy Brat 17:34, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Love the butterfly award! :) ~*Sarah*~ 19:23, 9 May 2006 (UTC) P.S. Hi, how are you? I haven't left a message latly, in fact I haven't been on Wikipedia in a while, so I just thought I'd write. Okay, now the P.S. is longer than the message, so bye!
New Birthday Committee Bulletin Format
This Wikipedia page has been superseded by Wikipedia talk:Birthday Committee and is retained primarily for historical reference. |
Thank you
Thanks for agreeing to be in charge of the BDC this summer. There are just a few duties you will need to carry out during this time:
- Read requests for membership, and see if they meet requirements. This can be done using their contributions list and block log. (If they do, add their names to the member list, and put the welcome template on their talk page.)
- Approve or disapprove Birthday Templates.
- Keep the Bulletin Board up to date.
I guess that's about it. Thanks! Steveo2 19:23, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you
Admin
Okay so that's the reasons why? Navy Brat 17:41, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
What the other reasons? Navy Brat 17:48, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
RfA thanks
My RFA
Thank you, Mr. Turcotte, for voting in my RFA. It closed with a final result of 75/1/0. Now that I am an administrator here, I will continue to improve this encyclopedia, using my new tools to revert vandalism, block persistent vandals, protect pages that have been vandalized intensively, and close AFD discussions. Any questions? Please contact me by adding a new section on my talk page. Again, thanks to all of you who participated!!! -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:15, 20 May 2006 (UTC) |
Hi Mr. Turcotte, and thank you for your supportive comments in my request for adminship! With a final tally of (109/5/1), I have been entrusted with adminship. It's been several weeks since the conclusion of the process, so hopefully you've had a chance to see me in action. Please let me know what you think! Thanks again, and I will do everything I can to justify the trust you've placed in me! (BTW I used to know some Turcottes...) ++Lar: t/c 03:25, 28 May 2006 (UTC) | |
Adverts: Like The Beatles?... Like LEGO?... In a WikiProject that classifies?... Are you an accountable admin?... Got DYK?... |
"Nurosarus"
Hi Mr T, Please be careful of your spelling. I already had to direct your original article, "Nurosarus", to the correct spelling, which is Nurosaurus. Now I see you've added to the Nurosaurus article, but you've again misspelled it each time you wrote something about it. N-u-r-o-s-a-U-r-u-s. Just a head's-up. Thanks, --Firsfron of Ronchester 00:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Birthday Committee
I realize that this is the third time I've written to you on the subject, but I'd just like to make sure that you're still interested in being in charge of the birthday committee. If not, here is the complete list of who to pass the position on to, from first to last:
- Nathanrdotcom
- GeorgeMoney
- Thistheman
- MacGyverMagic
- Sergeant Snopake
- Tdxiang (Note: The following people may be addressed in any order, as I was not sure of where to place them on the list.)
- Mizuamina
- Condem
- Old Abe
- Haza-W
- Jslasher
- Butterflys
- Note: Gen. Eisenhower may be joining sometime after July 28. If you're not busy, and if he doesn't speak to you first, ask him if he's still interested when the 28th is coming up.
Thanks again! Steveo2 19:33, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks!
Hey, you returned that message quickly! You didn't have to apologize! I had guessed that you would still be interested. Steveo2 19:41, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
See ya! WOOT! Steveo2 19:44, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks
Thank you for wishing me a happy birthday on my talk page. I really appreciated it! Thanks again. If you have any questions, please see my talk page. Ian Manka Talk to me! 00:48, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
File:Motherussia.jpg | Hello Mr. Turcotte, and thank you for your support at my request for adminship, which ended with an awe-inspiring 86/1/2 result. I plan to do much with my shiny new tools - but I'll start slow and learn the ropes at first. Please deluge me with assignments and requests - I enjoy helping out. For Mother Russia!! - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 05:29, 13 June 2006 (UTC) |
Thanks from Samir
Dear Mr. Turcotte, thanks so much for your support during my recent successful request for adminship. I really appreciate it. Let me know if you need anything; feel free to leave a message on my talk page or e-mail me if it is urgent. Take care -- Samir धर्म 07:55, 15 June 2006 (UTC) |
Templates
Please could you make them into "real" templates for me? It's just that I'm not entirely sure how. Sorry. Oh, and you're doing a great job looking after the committee, I meant to say something when you updated the Bulletin, but I've been very busy. Thanks! Sergeant Snopake 22:33, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- Sure can. I'll do that right now. Mr. Turcottetalk 23:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Sup?

RfA thanks!
Thanks for voting! Hello Mr. Turcotte/Archive 1, and thank you so much for voting in my recent RfA. I am pleased to inform you that it passed with a final tally of (119/1/3), into the WP:100, so I have now been cleared for adminship and will soon be soaring above the clouds. I was overjoyed, shocked, and humbled by the tally, and, most importantly, all the support. Thank you. If there is ever anything you need, you know where you can find me. Take care. |

My RfA
Hello Mr. Turcotte, and thanks for voting in my recent RfA, which passed with a tally of (68/19/3). I appreciated your comments, which I hope to take on board in order to gain your respect in my work as an administrator. Best of luck in your continued editing of the encyclopedia!

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.
As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.
Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks!
Thanks Mr Turcotte for the birthday wishes and the yummy looking cookie! Much appreciated. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 05:47, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Happy Birthday!
Jorcoga 00:46, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Many happy returns Mr. Turcotte!!! Enjoy the day to the fullest!

Happy Birthday, man! Sergeant Snopake 10:33, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Happy Birthday! -- thunderboltza.k.a.Deepu Joseph |TALK15:46, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you everyone! I'm having a great day. Mr. Turcottetalk 19:27, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Newsletter
I'm not sure if you've discussed this before I joined, but has the WP:BDC considered "spamming" the newsletter to talk pages of users who sign up for it?
I'd be happy to help do this if needed- it shouldn't take that long to do, either, but would help remind Wikipedians of the Committee- it's how I remembered I was still in Esperanza!
EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 22:17, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
- I just had the newsletter posted on the BDC talk page. If you want, you can add it to the member's talk pages. Thanks. Mr. Turcottetalk 17:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
WP:BDC
Can we please remove those membership requirements? Don't you think they are a bit silly? Anybody can use the template {{happy birthday}}, so being a member doesn't really matter. I think the membership requirements are a bit eccessive. --GeorgeMoney (talk) (Help Me Improve!) 23:59, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
- I see what your point is. I have lowered the requirements to make them more "user friendly". They will go into effect tomorrow. Mr. Turcottetalk 00:46, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- Also, if you don't mind, I have redesigned the page because it was a bit messy. --GeorgeMoney (talk) (Help Me Improve!) 01:27, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- Wow! Amazing job! Thanks so much George. Mr. Turcottetalk 01:29, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- Also, do you think for the member birthdays, we should use the #ifeq parser function so when it is a members birthday, it blinks and/or is bold? --GeorgeMoney (talk) (Help Me Improve!) 02:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry to butt in here, but great job on the new WP:BDC layout! I think it needs a little more colour still, but it looks more organised than before!
- I was wondering whether the BDC should handle first edit birthdays too- there seem to be of these than birthdays posted on Esperanza!
- It probably would be a good idea to emphasize a member birthday. I think that'd be great George.
- If you want to wish users an edit birthday, I see no problem with that. Mr. Turcottetalk 17:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Birthday thanks
Thanks for the birthday wishes. :) -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 05:24, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Hope that you had an amazing birthday! Mr. Turcottetalk 21:55, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
B-day
Thank you for taking the time to congratulate me! :) --webkid 13:23, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
No problem! I hope you had a great day. Mr. Turcottetalk 21:55, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Birthday Committee for User:HolyRomanEmperor
While well intentioned, it be a bit inappropriate, given that someone is reporting he has just died. You may want to remove the cake from his talk page. AnonEMouse (squeak) 21:49, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- I've just reverted for the above reason, I'm sure you just didn't see the message above the one you posted. Petros471 21:56, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you. I was about to remove the template myself. I am so sorry for what happened. Mr. Turcottetalk 21:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- Would you be kind enough to remove it, as an IP keeps wanting to re-add it. Maybe if you remove it they will stop. If not at least they can be blocked on sight for vandalism. Petros471 22:28, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- Nevermind, others are reverting it now. Petros471 22:36, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
RE: Birthday
Thanks for the birthday wishes! :) Darthgriz98 03:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the message! — Deckiller 17:48, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the birthday wishes. BTW may be you can direct all birthday greeting thank-yous to one place like User talk:Jenmoa. -- Paddu 20:42, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Confirmation of Birthday Template
Am I allowed to use:
I present you with these balloons to celebrate your birthday. I hope you have a great day. Killfest2 (Talk) |
as my birthday template, as the blue circular-edged boxes are what I use for most of my things? Killfest2|Daniel.Bryant (Talk) 07:54, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yes. That is fine. You can really use any personal template you like. If you want a template to be an option on the Birthday Committee Project page then I have to approve it and be sure everyone can use it. Thanks for asking though. :-) Mr. Turcottetalk 12:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Birthday Committee.
Hey
Thanks for the note on my page
It's a pleasure to be on the team ;)
Thanks--Deon555|talk|e 09:16, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
My own birthday
I was thinking, If I'm on the birthday committee, what if I want to be wished I happy birthday? Should I just put my birthday on the calendar when it comes around?
Sure you can! Feel free to add you name and we'll be sure to give you some cake on your birthday. Mr. Turcottetalk 19:15, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Updating the BDC Bulletin
Hey there Mr. Turcotte. I've noticed that you said a few days ago on the BDC talk page that you are a bit busy. I know that the bulletin board hasn't been updated in a while, so I hope it's all right with you if I update it when I'm online later today. Thanks. Thistheman 06:32, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- My computer has been in repair but is back now. I will update it ASAP. Mr. Turcottetalk 17:33, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Your birthday message

I’m back!
Hey, I’m back! I don’t have a lot of time to write, though. I’ll start by saying that I’m practically dizzy with amazement at how much the BD Committee grew. I’m allowing you to stay in charge of the group for as long as you want to, and as long as the members want you. I guess I’ll just see you on the fifth! Steveo2 15:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- It is good to see you Steveo. Mr. Turcottetalk 23:01, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Article suggested for deletion
I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Keeping on Gaming, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Keeping on Gaming. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Joyous! | Talk 23:09, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Alright thanks. Mr. Turcottetalk 23:23, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- The article Keeping on Gaming has been nominated for deletion. Feel free to contribute to the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Keeping on Gaming. Joyous! | Talk 01:38, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Birthday Committee
Thanks for leading the birthday committee, and even though you are not the creator of it, I still thank you for leading this great idea. Cheers! •The RSJ• (Main Hub - Rants) 22:41, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Mr. Turcotte!
I'm planning to send Stegosaurus to Featured Article candidacy. The article failed its first nomination, but user:Casliber and I have been hard at work fixing stuff. As you're listed as a member of Wikipedia: WikiProject Dinosaurs, I figured I'd drop you a line and see if there was anything you thought should be added/removed/cited on the article before it is sent to FAC. We definitely want it to pass! :)
(Feel free to make any edits on the article itself, comment on the talk page, or leave a note on my talk page). Thanks for your time, Firsfron of Ronchester 19:43, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Adding signature to templates
Hi Mr. Turcotte. I'm a member of WP:BDC and I know that you're the leader of the project. I suggest that we should add signature (I mean the code ~~<includeonly>~~</includeonly><noinclude>~~</noinclude>) to Template:Happy Birthday 9 and Template:First Edit Day 2. What do you think about this idea? Apple••w••o••r••m•• 15:02, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Birthday Committee
Hello! My name is Politics rule. I am a member of the Birthday Committee(and a proud one!). I see that you are the current leader, and that you took over from the founder. My question is, does the Birthday Committee have an election to elect a leader. Or are you "term limited". Could you please respond! Politics rule 01:27, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
