Board of Trustees elections

Hello!

The Wikipedia Signpost, a community-newspaper in the English Wikipedia, is covering the Board of Trustees elections and will be featuring each of the candidates in next week's issue. As such, we would appreciate it if you would take some time to answer a few interview questions. Each candidate will be asked the same questions; by no means, though, feel obligated to answer any (or even) all of them, though we would greatly appreciate it if you did.

Some of the questions may be a bit redundant to the candidate information you have filled out already. This is both for convenience and for giving you the opportunity to expand on some of them a bit. However, we ask that you keep all responses brief, limiting them to no more than one or two paragraphs each.

You may leave replies to my English Wikipedia talk page, my meta talk page, or email them to me. I would appreciate it if responses are in on or before this Saturday, August 26; please have them in at the latest on Sunday the 27th in order for them to be included in Monday's issue as soon as possible; if necessary, we'll include them in next week's issue.

As always, the Signpost reserves the right to re-distribute the questions and replies, shorten any responses if necessary, and take any other editorial action deemed appropriate.

Thanks again for your time, and please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:51, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks again.

Thanks a lot. Please don't feel rushed - if necessary, we can put your replies in next week's issue, but I would obviously prefer all answers in this week's issue so that it's out before voting starts. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 01:06, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Board meeting

Hi! The new Board member is expected to attend a Board meeting in Frankfurt 20-23 October, so you are highly expected to aim to keep these dates free or book time off work in case you are successful in your bid to be on the Board. Jon Harald Søby 14:53, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar fo Lagrange

Thanks for the Rosetta Barnstar. I didn't find barnstar in my dictionaries (but I found it in WP ! ) , and I don't quite understand what a barnstar exactly means ;-) should I be proud of it ? Anyway I'm proud of Rosetta - I have lived in Champollion's born city Figeac. By the way do you know that my name means "barn" (grange is the french for barn) Arno Lagrange ✉ 09:13, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Rosetta barnstar

Hi Evrik, and thanks for the barnstar ;) although I think all French translators deserve it more than me. Good luck! guillom 15:56, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

AYUDA

Pienso que como muchas personas yo ingrese a participar en Wikipedia muy animadamente, sin embargo me tope con una gran traba, los wikipedistas que se creen dueños del saber y esta web, yo soy un novato en wikipedia y las veces que he entrado me dedico mas a procurar ver como arreglo la web de una artista joven latina, que viene sobresaliendo en el mundo del espectaculo.

Me parecio lindo poder colocar una biografia de ella, pero mi colaboracion primero llevo el irrelevante, no si el arte sea irrelevante o es irrelevante porque es una propuesta de un extraño... bueno en fin , luego de irrelevante paso a copy nose que? pero de alli le quitaron ese calñificativo y paso a votacion para borrado ???? whath??? y mas contrariado cuando dicen que pse puede editar bien para que no sea eliminado, porque no usan el tiempo en corregior los trabajos malos en vez de usarlo para crear foros y otros? porque no le dicen a uno como corregir los trabajos????

Luego veo quienes solicitan el borrado, al parecer gente que les gusta les llamen duquesa, excelencia, divinidad??? queeeee, esta es una pagina que pretende revolucionar la educacion??? hacer que persista el por siempre las cosas que deben de serlo??? no me parece que sea el criterio usado el mejor ç, usted como uno de los lideres por favor ayude para que existan estos cambios en la conducta de los administradores, bibliotecarios y en fin

Bueno sino nuevamente perdi el tiempo aca en este reino de brujas, condes, duquesas y reyes del saber :(

Ahhhhh mi contribucion fue sobre Mia Rauz

• La primera cosa que debes hacer es registrar con una cuenta, ahorita eres 200.48.79.49 . Etsas problemas son deficiles. Creo que debes usar la prueba google. Buena suerte! --Evrik 17:13, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I just wanted to give you a quick heads up about the new chapter. We've gotten a new website, and have started organizational work at a pretty good clip. Here is the link:
