A bit puzzled that you reverted my change to Our Lady of Guadalupe about Juanito being analogous to Johnny. Juan -> Juanito, John -> Johnny. Seems like a pretty straightforward parallel to me. I just thought it might provide a bit of context for those who don't know any Spanish. -- Andyluciano 22:58, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi, In response to your offer of pictures of chemicals, here are a few I don't have access to:
Be careful, these compounds are all expensive, and several are hygroscopic! Let me know if you have any requests you think I might help with. Thanks again for your offer, Walkerma 05:57, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Looking at the WP:Chem worklist, I notice some oxides I don't have access to: Oxides of Be (toxic!!!), Sc, Y, La, Ho, Lu, Th. Used to have Sc and Y in my lab, but used them all up! Cheers, Walkerma 16:45, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, yes I was a bit angry. Wanting to change something just because you think it's ugly doesn't come across as a particularly constructive argument (before you edited your comment you just said Spanish was ugly and did not elaborate). I'm all for people having their own opinions, but if something reads more like an attack rather than a rational argument you risk people getting mad at you. That's the reason why I said you should be more careful when saying such things.
Thank you for toning down your statement and the apology in my talk page. Efforts to mend fences are always appreciated here in the wiki and elsewhere. ¡Gracias! -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ | Esperanza 01:10, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, yes, the islands do belong to the federation, but for example; Cozumel is an island in Mexico and is part of the state of Quintana Roo (Cozumel, Quintana Roo, Mexico). ---> Sagitario 05:14, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
¡Saludos Rune.welsh! User Sagitario has been reverting the file of the Flag of Mexico to the one he uploaded and that presents a wrong green color, wrong aspect ratio and a poorly drawn coat of arms. He didn't care the file I uploaded is right according to the Mexican Constitution. He reverted the file several times in the past months showing that he doesn't care about accuracy. Then he stopped, I thought he understood but he came back and started doing the same thing.
Then I left a note in his discussion page asking him not to revert the file because the one he is using is wrong. He didn't listen. Instead he uploaded another file that is suppoused to be more accurate but that still presents a poorly drawn coat of arms with the wrong colors. Also he never cared about updating the file sources and information, he only reverted it and that was it.
This proves that the only thing he is looking for is displaying his own image file, no matter if there is another one more accurate. I called this "vandalism" cause I read that adding missinformation is a form of vandalism (Sneaky vandalism). I hope you can help me because I really don't know what to do to stop this. ¡Gracias! AlexCovarrubias 08:10, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Hey Rune, i see that AlexCovarrubias has been "snitching" on me. Yeah, i admit, the first flag i had uploaded had a lighter green shade and a different aspect ratio, but i fixed it as soon as i realized it (if you look at my recent revert history, you'll see it's a more accurate one with the correct aspect ratio). However, he doesn't care and keeps reverting back to his. What i don't understand is why he acuses me of "vandalism" and adding "incorrect information". After all, it IS the Mexican flag. How is that incorrect? It's not like i'm replacing it with a flag of another country. ---> Sagitario 23:15, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

You voted for Celestianpower and Titoxd for Administrator General. You did not, however, vote for them for Advisory Council. If this was a mistake, you can fix your votes any time between now and December 30. If this was not a mistake, please disregard this comment. Thanks, Ral315 (talk) 17:01, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Hello, fellow Esperanzians! This is just a friendly reminder that elections for Administrator General and two advisory council positions have just begun. Voting will last until Friday, December 30, so make sure you exercise your right to vote! Also, I'm pleased to announce the creation of the Esperanza mailing list. I urge all members to join; see Wikipedia:Esperanza/Contact for more information. All you need to do is email me and I will activate your account. This will be a great way to relax, stay in touch, and hear important announcements. Thanks! Flcelloguy ( A note?)

On the Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Redshift you imply that the FA nomination was made with a pending RfArb. Looking at the timestamps makes it clear that the RfArb was started after the FA nomination. Please edit your post. Thank you. -- ScienceApologist 15:42, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

You requested a copyright examination regarding List of billionaires (2005). Sadly copyright examinations is not the right place for your request. The most common reason is that the content has already been added/uploaded to Wikipedia. Such cases (violations or not) are taken care of at Wikipedia:Copyright problems.
Your request will eventually be moved to List of requests which don't belong here on the copyright examinations page. Please try to find the right place for your request as soon as possible. We hope that your request will find the right place and get answered. -- Easyas12c 21:33, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Hey, do you have a link to the original legislation you mentioned in Wikipedia:Peer review/Flag of Mexico/archive1?

As for the heraldic description, there is no official version, but here is what I came up with, based from Flag of India and Heraldry: Party per pale Vert and Gules on a pale Argent a "Escudo Nacional Mexicano." This is not official, let alone, I do not think it is probably right. I will add it, but you can remove it if it is silly. Zach (Smack Back) 02:50, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, first off, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia before anything else, as you well know. So, it is a great advantage to have a few articles under your belt. Looking at your list of contributions, that part is impressive. You have a featured list, and your articles are quite good. So, you pass that criterion. :) Tito xd( ?!? - help us) 22:54, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I've responded to the comments you made at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Panama Canal. Want to let me know what you think? Cheers. — Johantheghost 20:40, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi! I hesitated ages on writing that one on el inge Cuauhtémoc. I got it from a very good source; an 80 year old aunt who lived in Zinapécuaro at the time. My granddad (my aunt's brother) was also a good friend of El General. But you're right, I agree it's too bold a claim and it really doesn't add much to the article. It's one of those things that's mentioned in family conversations and probably should stay there too!
Schicchi 15:05, 6 January 2006 (UTC) Esperanza, you're right, it is an interesting thing to know, and perhaps it explains Cuauhtémoc's darker skin against his mom and dad's (nothing wrong with that of course!). BTW, can we do something with AMLO's page? It is definitively POV! I guess that happens with all controversial public figures. However if someone in the US were to read the article and compare it with newspaper articles (other than La Jornada) he would think the article is propaganda.
Schicchi 16:08, 6 January 2006 (UTC) I will try to join the ranks of AMLO's page watchers... but for now I've got to earn a living! =)

Greetings.
By far the best objective (though outdated in certain areas) version online is Vahan M. Kurkjian's A History of Armeniacompiled and edited by Wiki user Bill Thayer.
For a much more simple summary check out: http://www.armenianhistory.info/origins.htm
This one is pretty good as well: http://www.armenica.org/
There's also this: http://www.hyeetch.nareg.com.au/armenians/history_p1.html
For an extremely ethnocentric Armenian view without a drop of objectivity: http://www.armenianhighland.com/
This is a pretty basic intro book: Armenia : A Historical Atlas by Robert H. Hewsen (very well researched and referenced scholarly work) -- Eupator 02:32, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello Rune, I will add Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's article to my watchlist.
Its sad that morons are making good wikipedians to give up on certain articles or even leave as Hajor did.
Fortunatetly we are still many and some others are joining like Sagitario, Zscout370, Instinkt...etc Also, for this type of problems I think that we should involve Spangineer and/or Drini, they both are admins. (Actually i have already post a comment on drini's talk page about this).

Hi Rune, PUI stands for Possibly Unfree Image (check out the template, PUI between {{}} ).

Normally I do give detailed edit summaries, but in truth, I was probably more confused than you were with my mess. Many apologies about that - I thought there was a way to move edit histories; at least I added a few redirects in the end!

I saw to my disappointment that you switched from support to oppose on my RfA because of "campaigning". I wonder if you could tell me why you feel that way. I do not understand why you feel it is a bad thing, if it is cordial and professional. Obviously, people voting "oppose" out of some clear and/or strong motivation aren't going to change in any case, but I'm not sure I see why you find it objectionable for me to ask folks who had voted oppose to take a more careful look at my history. I've certainly done that in several cases; you can easily check the details in my edit history. Basically, where oppose votes stated that they were voting "me too" on a couple rather old and rather minor issues that some early oppose voters had stated, I've asked editors if they'd be willing to take a closer look. Some have, some haven't; but the whole thing just seems like sort of an extension of normal editorial cooperation.
Oh well. I suppose I'll probably be mop-free for a while at least. Which is fine. I suppose I'm more worried about the idea that the reasons will be venal, or show a poor process, than I actually am with havng a few more buttons and screen enabled during my WP editing. Principles and all that (the same thing as refusing to dissimulate on my attitude towards WP:AUTO; I'm sure if I had falsely confessed my sins about it, a half dozen of the opposes would change... but that would show bad faith, so I strongly state my unwillingness to enunciate that).
