Thank you for the welcome! - Oloferne 07:00, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

They do look cool, and thank you. I guess I was concerned that it looked as if the ribbons were under my name, which isn't appropriate as I haven't received the awards, but I'm probably missing the point. Colon el Tom 16:13, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I guess many want to hide and mess with others' pages--I think that is remarkably true statement.-- Dakota ~ 16:44, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I got your message, thanks, but there is one question I would like to ask. Why do my pages or changes always get deleted? What I am adding only benefits the page, and starting a new article only helps. Please send a simple response

                                                                        -Dups

Hey, thanks for stopping by and welcoming me (although you're a bit late :-) -- Amalthea 22:41, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Oh wow. So I have to create an archive page, even if I only remove a template like the one you used? -- Amalthea 23:42, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Nice welcome. It is very much appreciated. It really made me feel part of a collective effort. Pietas 23:52, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Dear Kukini, I appreciate your vote and your kind words in my RFA. It has passed with an unexpected 114/2/2 and I feel honored by this show of confidence in me. Cheers! ← Humus sapiens ну? 03:20, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

I like it a lot. Would it be possible to use it as well? Tx. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 03:23, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

It is sort like an addictive drug, hard to kick the habit. There is always a wikibreak which can be good. Sometimes real life has a way of forcing a break. I don't think there are 12 steps. Whatever you do don't let yourself burnout. Sometimes I just stay off for a day and that helps really, just a last watchlist check and sign out for awhile. Hope that helps. Take care.-- Dakota ~ 05:41, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry you don't like the auto centering. I change it everytime I archive which I am am doing less of lately, just letting it grow. I have seen your welcome template looks good.-- Dakota ~ 06:05, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Last time I did it was to get the bunnies off there.-- Dakota ~ 06:09, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Real bunnies are cool used to have one but he died of old age, now if it was puppies they would stay forever.-- Dakota ~ 06:16, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

My mom has an Abyssinian, extremely regal but cares for no one but her. It's named predictably Isis quite suitably. I don't care for cutsey poses either, nature isn't that way. I have 3 dogs who have never met that cat but they are good, like everything except the mailman, neighborhood school buses and a friend of mine.-- Dakota ~ 06:35, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Nada importante, solo pasaba a saludar. ¿Haz visto algo interesante por aquí ultimamente? Al propósito, ¿de que país Latinoamericano eres? Rosa 09:14, 26 April 2006 (UTC)Lo pregunto es por que ahorita hay una discusión en el artículo de Colombia sobre Uribe que depronto te interese si eres colombiano. Rosa 09:16, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

No trouble. Cheers, H ig hway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 19:06, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Just saw your welcome message template while welcoming some newbie contributors, hope you don't mind if I use it (I'll customise it to my tastes of course). Thanks. MyNam e IsNotBob 23:43, 26 April 2006 (UTC) p.s. It is fully awesome, good job!

I'm working on it at User:MyNameIsNotBob/Welcome. I have played with the colours a little (they look rather average at the moment) but I have changed it so I can insert the article name that the person is working on. I use a monobook.js script which prompts me for it. I'd like to add a photo or something like that in there. MyNam e IsNotBob 05:05, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Sent you an email. [1].-- Dakota ~ 05:46, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Kukini, I have created a draft welcome template based on yours (and your userpage) at User:MyNameIsNotBob/Welcome/temp. Just wondering if you, or someone you know could tidy it up a little, I'd like to see some more images in there (some can be seen at User:Master_of_Puppets/Icons) or maybe integrate the Pic of the Day. Thanks. MyNam e IsNotBob 06:33, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Kukini and NotBob, I'm glad to see someone has finally started using the the Get Welcomed template, but what I like even more is your modifications. :) Can you you guys get onto that template and make some permanent changes. Kukini, I like the way your version explains more about getting help. And NotBob, I like you creative design. Maybe we can work together and create some better templates to replace some of the old ones. What do you think? Let me know. Waikiki!!! ^_^ -- Electric Eye ( talk) 07:25, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Excellent layout on your user page. Kukini Kyros 07:58, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

One of my coworkers vandalized the Time Signature page and I apologize for it. I appreciate what Wikipedia does, and hope it does not happen again. I will make a username to differentiate between myself and the IP.

I got a message from you but am not sure what you want, please enlighten. Hello by the way.

Thanks for noticing that I'm a new user. I like the challenge of writing neutrally about controversial subjects. Thanks for your offer of help :-) Justdignity 23:16, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Kukini,

Very much appreciated the welcome. I have a small question which I'm not sure if you will be able to answer for me or not. When looking at the 'Recent changes' page, one is able to see minor edits (m) and new articles (N). However, when looking at a specific users contribution page, one is only able to see the minor edits (m) indicator and not the (N) to indicate that user created that particular article. Assuming this is a feature enhancement request for MediaWiki, where would be the best place to ask if this functionality could be added?

Thanks again, fonetikli 03:03, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

(Actually, never mind - found the right place - and it turns out someone has already requested this!: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4150).

You are the third person that has told me they did not get a wikipedia from me so something must not be right. If you do irc might talk there.-- Dakota ~ 04:15, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the intro, I've been making ickle changes a while but found this could be a project I could properly get into wikipedia, though it might be too much for an encylclopedia entry. I'm exhausted right now, but decided I had to write some damn thing to motivate myself to start. I'll try to read the Tutorials tommorrow, but I'm guessing I wont be able to find if it's bad ettiquette to invite anyone in a seperate forum for input, where most of them wont have a clue about guidelines? Anywhys, thanks again for reaching out, hopefully I'll stick with it :)

WholeFnShow 04:42, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I wanted to pop by and thank you for the 'welcome to wikipedia'! I figure... I've been using wikipedia for several years now, so it was long past due for me to register!

Out of curiousity, aside from your username, do you know any other hawaiian?

Dieselbt 09:47, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Delete all articles, paragraphs and sentences that involve the priory of sion or the knights templar before 1189.

thanks kukini it will be my pleasure.

i dont understand what the four tildes mean can you help me out? touth

Thanks for the welcome, Kukini. I look forward to editing an article with you one day. ( The Lake Effect 20:39, 28 April 2006 (UTC))

Thanks for the welcome. :D

Hi Kukini- Thanks for your note. Nice to be noticed! I'm just getting used to wikipedia- so I hope this message gets to you. I got interested in wiki through my media work. I have been connecting useful references from it to media stories I work on- and I have now discovered I can contribute too.

I think I just made some sort of profile for myself - and I hope I can make some useful contributions. I just tried to get the referencing thing working on the entry I created for St.Augustine's College, Brookvale. I think it worked?

Nice to hear from you

cheers Njamesdebien 05:53, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Just letting you know I have managed to fix and upgrade my welcome template at User:MyNameIsNotBob/Welcome. If you have any suggestions to improve it let me know. Regards. MyNam e IsNotBob 13:15, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza elections

---

Thanks for supporting me in the Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. Although I wasn't elected to the Advisory Council, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was shocked at the support, and was touched by it. Hopefully I will re-apply in June and try again for the job. Thanks again, H ig hway ^{Rainbow Sneakers}

Hey Kukini, I'm in the need of a little help. I want to have ECW redirect to Extreme Championship Wrestling than make a see also link for the disambiguation list on the ECW page. I'm tried myself and run into some issues. Any help would be appreciated when you get a chance. Thank you. Kyros 22:32, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Kukini. By the way I swear I put those tildes in for my sig .... o well I did it now anyway :-) 22:32, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

It appears that you cannot do a redirect on that acronymn since it is used for other things as well. It appears that all you can do is have it on the disambiguation page as it is. Best, Kukin i 22:33, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Out of curosity, why shouldn't I blank out my user talk page. I like to keep things organized and clean. Kyros 22:35, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Gracias mi amigo Kyros 22:41, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

I figured I had it correct, but wasn't sure. Sometimes the help section and the way wikipedians do things conflict :-) Kyros

Howdy, would you mind taking a look at the the contributions of 49009589 ( talk • contribs)? I think s/he may be agenda pushing/advertising for the sports drink RELOAD (energy drink), but I don't have time to assess and revert the damage. Maybe I'm just being paranoid... Thanks, -- TeaDrinker 01:40, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Kukini, FongSaiYuk is a new user who has helpfully contributed to an article I've been working on. You welcomed me when I first created a user account, I thought you might like to know about Fong as well. I noticed he hasn't been officially welcomed yet. Thanks for what you do.-- WilliamThweatt 01:46, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi -- I had no idea dropping the 'welcome' note from my page could be construed as vandalism! Thanks for letting me know, and the restore. At the time I thought it was an automated message -- I didn't realize Wikipedia actually has a welcoming committee. Is it considered illegal to edit one's own talk page at all? It seemed obvious to me that editing someone else's comments on a talk page wouldn't be acceptable, since then you can misrepresent someone else's remarks, but I suppose I didn't think removing the welcome fit under that category. I wonder, does this mean Wikipedia is actually hosting hundreds of redundant copies of that exact message for all time? Lee Bailey 05:56, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Kukini for your support. I just joined Wikipedia yesterday, and finding it extremely informative, and a great concept. I am still trying to figure out how it works. If i get stuck i will surely get in touch with you. Thanks again. Indrajit Neogi

Hey Kukini,

I think you ran into the same problem that's been going on with template:ribbon at the Barnstar Brigade. For some reason sometimes it doesn't recognize the text you put in, but if you put a "2=" in before it, it works out. I have no idea why, but the information at Template:Ribbon talks about it, and it seems to work. -- Nataly a 01:29, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

The change is really easy to make. The syntax should look like this:

{{ribbon|Diligence Ribbon.png|2= the '''Barnstar of Diligence''' was awarded to [[User:Cowman109]] by [[User:Kukini|Kukin]][[WP:EA|<font color="green">i</font>]] 00:16, 1 May 2006 (UTC)}}

Notice the "2=" in bold. That should do it! Let me know if you have any other questions. -- Nataly a 10:57, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Kukini,

Thank you for welcoming me in wikipedia, but however i an expert, who has been framed by user: Anwar saadat in the past. And i have also been accused of being a sockpuppet. A

As i continue to build articles user: Anwar saadat keeps on deleting them.

Please help as I feel like i am being watched in every step i take.

And soon he will frame me again.

Please give him a worthy punishment

Thank you

Thanks. Roballyn 22:33, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey ... thanks for your welcome, I didn't expect it but I do appreciate it. As you know I am very new and it was probably presumptious of me to edit before I truly knew what I was doing, but I was so excited by the whole project. Fortunately it seems to have worked out OK ... but please let me know if you disagree. Abtract 23:16, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the barnstar. =) I was actually wondering if anyone noticed my stub-sorting, and it's nice to know that my efforts are appreciated. Amalas =^_^= 14:13, 3 May 2006 (UTC):I know it's not usually good to delete things from a talk page, which is why I wrote the note saying that I moved it to the user page. I was just trying to consolidate my barnstars in the same place. I suppose I could move them both to the talk page, but that seems silly too. Amalas =^_^= 15:20, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

You really don't need to apologise for such a tiny mistake. No one is perfect, after all. Not too long ago I made a much greater mistake. There was an obvious but quickly-editing vandal on Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki article. While I reverted, he made another edit, which didn't become undone in my revert. I noticed that and tried to revert to the correct version but my internet connection was suddenly so slow that the same thing happened again. The guy kept vandalising and another person reverted to my version in the wrong belief that I had actually done a complete revert. The connection seemed better so I tried again ... and again it was messed up in the same way ;-). That was when I decided to get popups. Sciurinæ 19:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much - I really appreciate it. Guettarda 15:13, 4 May 2006 (UTC)==Thanks for the support on my RfA!==

some person bearing username Mastersofworld has edited or i must say vandalize my user page, has removed my email id and put his/her email id, now can i ask the moderators what action u are going to take against this vandalism, and do let me know if is there any way to protect my user page from being vandalise again.

Hello Kukini/Archive4, and thanks for supporting me on my recent request for adminship! It has succeeded with an unanimous support of 67 votes, so that I am now an administrator.

Hello, Kukini/Archive4, and thank you for vote on my recent RfA! With a final vote of 62/2/4, I have now been entrusted with the mop, bucket and keys. As I acclimate myself to my new tools, feel free to let me know how you believe I might be able to use them to help the project. Thanks again! Radio Kirk talk to me 05:36, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately you're a bit quick with the edits and caused work in progress to be erased on the article. References are easily provided given you allow them to be placed.

There was talk about it at the top of the Esperanza talk page I think. It's at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza#In the name of Esperanza... Hope I helped. H ig hway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 22:34, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

What do you think of my welcome template? Anonymous _anonymous_ Have a Nice Day 15:24, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

There was much talk lately about the bio-barnstar proposal, but these past 5 days there hasn't been more said. What is next? What is there to be done? Can we move this foward...? It is the first time I involve myself in a barnstar proposal and I do not know what is the procedure. I seem to read there is quite a support for a bio-barnstar and a considerable preference for the second proposal... Please, could someone tell me what next? Thanks.-- Francisco Valverde 17:38, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome. I'm trying to do a footnote on advertising (history section) and it's not working. I must be missing something obvious, because I'm just trying to do it exactly like another instance on the page. Duck7 03:45, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help on this. This is my first time posting a whole article.

Thanks for the welcome message! :) I'll mainly be busy on Latvian Wikipedia though.
You may of course, delete this message, simply there is no way of sending PMs here. :)
