_{I'm too busy with offline stuff to do much here.}

Please follow these guidelines for my talk page:

1. If you want to pressure me into editing the Esperanza essay, don't. Just don't. If you persist, I will consider it harassment and seek administrative action.

Wikipedia is at heart a volunteer project; people freely offer their work because they want to. They're not obligated to work on a specific article, or to do any work at all. It took months of painful debate to settle on a mutually acceptable text, and I don't want to subject myself to any more stress on its account.

2. Please be civil and respect that this is my talk page. That means avoiding excessive images (barnstars and smileys are fine, within reason), not treating my talk page as your personal chat room, and not altering your comments after the fact.

3. Please sign your messages by typing ~~~~ or by using the edit toolbar. The automated signature button is the one to the right of the crossed out "W".

Please understand if I do not respond immediately. Also please be understanding if I do not answer your message in the order that it was received, or if I do not answer your message at all. I just don't have the time or energy to respond to everyone, so please accept my apologies if your message goes unanswered.

I will ordinarily answer on your talk page, unless requested to do otherwise. Thank you!

Hey Kyoko! Yeah, your ideas are what I had in mind - I was going to base this list off the List of Oz books. I have already started (just not saved) so perhaps if you wait until I'm done with stuff I have in progress it will save you some work ;) So far I have sections for Title (including alternate titles), Year written (with disclaimers/notes), First publications (Folios, etc.), Early performances (first, for the Queen, etc.), and Authorship (disputed or not, co-authors, etc). I may add sections for noteable actors, inspirations (since the Bard based most of his plays on works by other writers and playwrights), etc later on - as well as summaries. For now I just want to get the basic most important info out and I'll expand it as I go along :) Feel free to work on it if you like, but if you have other things to do I'm more than happy to work on it on my own. I've renewed interest in it and am making it my pet project for this week. Love a bunch, -- Editor at Large • talk 20:36, 19 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Thanks very much for wishing me happy birthday! I had a great day - well, it could have been better, I spent all day studying for an exam! But let's concentrate on the positives, hmmm? :) My friends got me a great cake, a lot like this one, and since you've been so kind, I saved you a piece. Hope you enjoy it, and the rest of your day :) Riana (talk) 10:42, 21 June 2007 (UTC) reply So sorry I haven't replied to your e-mails yet - exams throwing my body clock out of whack...

The King Arthur Project has begun a collaboration to bring its main article, King Arthur, to WP:FA status. If you wish to contribute, please review the to-do list on its talk page. Let's make this article an FA! Wrad 03:27, 22 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Wow. She... is one of the famous figures in ballet history. I have a book with a chapter on her, and she is one of the first dancers I became familiar with when I was young (<10). That article needs a lot of work - especially the fact that it completely misses the point that she was better known as a ballerina than as a choreographer. Actually I had no clue she was a choreographer until just now. Ouch. I'll add her to WP:BALLET's to-do list... and, by the way, if you come across articles on ballet dancers or ones specifically relating to ballet (rather than dance in general) you can tag them with {{ ballet-dance-stub}} and the talk page with {{ WikiProject Ballet}} instead of the generic Dance ones :)

Love a bunch, -- Editor at Large • talk 07:32, 24 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Hmm. Hate to break it to you, deary, but ... Don Quixote (ballet). Same ballet, but using the generic title that it is generally performed under now. Your stub is a good one, though, perhaps you could merge it with the main article if there is info which isn't in the other? And sure, you can let me know if you find ballet articles that need classification and I'll take care of it :) Love in heaps, -- Editor at Large • talk 07:57, 24 June 2007 (UTC) reply

After posting so many requests to so many people, and almost on the verge of giving up... then you appear to edit the article Language movement. If I were to take on the formidable task of thanking you properly, probably I'd need your copyedit support. You are my most pleasant surprise here since I met Ayelie over an edit. Since Zora and Nirav (Rama's Arrow) left I was losing hope in WP. Now you have given it back. Thanks. Aditya Kabir 21:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Your unspent heart a message sends Of grace and sacrifice hard-won Upon which happiness depends! Thank you so much, dear Kyoko! Love, Phaedriel 05:15, 25 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Even if I thought for a whole year, I would still be unable to find the words to tell you how much you mean to me, my friend. Your comfort and kindness helped me so much, that saying "thank you" looks so little, so short... yet my most heartfelt gratitude is the most sincere gift I can think of.

• Heh - looks like you got overwhelmed with messages! - Alison ☺ 22:05, 25 June 2007 (UTC) reply

I remember reading on Phaedriel's talk page a few weeks ago that you have about 2,000 pages in your watchlist. How do you keep track of all the pages? I find I'm occupied with 66 (not including talk pages). Acalamari 22:13, 25 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Okay, that's fine; I was just curious. 2056 pages is a lot (double if you include talk pages, unless you already included them), and as I said, I find I'm occupied with 66 pages. I suppose it depends on the page you watch as well; pages like Alison's and Phaedriel's talk pages and Christina Aguilera (which I all watch) tend to change everyday, while Fergie (singer) and Raptor: Call of the Shadows (which I also watch) aren't edited as often as that. Acalamari 22:41, 25 June 2007 (UTC) reply

It's okay, I knew that talk pages aren't included. :) With talk pages, you have 4112 pages in your watchlist. Anyway, I didn't want to bug you with this; I was just curious to know how you kept track. Thank you for telling me the answer. :) I hope I wasn't a pest. Acalamari 23:13, 25 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Phew! :) That's good to know. Acalamari 23:22, 25 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Would you take a look at Sandy's comment on the new title for Language movement at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/The Language Movement? There seems to be a disagreement here.

Ooops! Even before I could notice the in use template placed by you, I made two relatively minor edits in the article.

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue VIII - July 1, 2007 Monthly Challenge: Submit an article to our Jumpaclass competition! Languishing unloved, it is a great way to improving that article you always meant to improve but never got round to. Challenge someone else to go head to head and see who can improve their article most! Article News But I'm a Cheerleader is now GA Class! Project News Our Deputy Coordinators have been doing a fabulous job so far. Well done! The portal is now looking very snazzy, well done to Fireplace for all his hard work. The list of LGBT people to be sorted has now beed reduced by 20%. Please help us with it, all of us adding just one person a day would have a dramatic effect! The Core Topics is now largely complete. The original aim of getting some kind of publication out of it is extremely long term - any short term uses we can make of it are welcome on the project talkpage. A suggestion was made this month that we start our own wiki. Although the conclusion was that we felt we were a part of Wikipedia rather than a stand alone organisation, it seems there is an LGBT wiki already, at http://lgbt.wikia.com/wiki/Main_page . Members may be interested in getting involved there. The Collaboration is now getting rather short on suggestions. Article nominations for August through December would be welcome on the talkpage. There is now a list of Missing LGBT Topics. Help is needed to work out which topics can be made redirects or need to be created. Please contribute is you can. An LGBT banner that was created for Wikipedia's internal ads system has now been adapted so it can be placed on blogs and websites. The html is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:LGBT"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Qxz-ad48.gif" height="53" width="445"></a> Please credit Miranda and link to her userpage: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Miranda">Miranda</a>. The banner can be seen in action here. If you have a blog or a website, please consider adding the banner, either in a post or as part of your profile. Member News 11 new contributors joined the project in the last month: Xnuala, Samantha Pignez, Jreferee, BGMurph, jmsast, Kukini, Theinsidellama, Heyfoureyes, Iceflow, NickGorton, Lynnllynn, KaiLeo, Amadscientist, and Mad_Cheese_Eater. Please make them feel welcome  ! However, this is a bit low for a project of our standing, so please consider doing a little recruiting if you can. To stop receiving this newsletter, or to receive it in a different format, please let us know here. If you have any news or any announcements to be broadcast, do let Dev920 know.

In the Bengali Language Movement article I found this sentence - "Police arrested students and other protesters, but many refused to post bail, and the police were subsequently forced to release them." It lies under the header - "Events of 1952". Aditya Kabir 20:28, 12 July 2007 (UTC) reply

My sweet Kyoko and Cliff, I need you both to do me a great favor, if you can. Tomorrow afternoon, I'llgo on a short wikibreak of at least a couple of days, for reasons you already know (Cliff, I'm also sending you an email in the next hours). This means, I'll be unable to take care of sending the note to notify the upcoming Today's Wikipedians. If you could do this on my behalf, friends, I'd be delighted and grateful, because I don't want the little campaign to stop. Please, let me know if that's ok with you, k, guys? Love you both, Phaedriel - 22:12, 12 July 2007 (UTC) reply

I've sent you an e-mail about this, Kyoko, but in just two hours it will be July 15 at the servers and I think (I'm not sure? I did it with K. Lastochka) that that is when she would notify them. Anyway, it's up to you. :) —  $PЯIПG rαgђ  21:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC) reply
