I hope you get well soon too! It's been a pleasure getting to know you on IRC, and I hope to talk to you again as soon as possible. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 16:02, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I second third that!! I hope everything goes well for you and that you get well soon. Johntex\^talk 16:44, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That was the right thing to do, no matter what happened. Thanks for having the integrity and care to offer an apology. Tijuana Brass^¡Épa!-E@ 06:55, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was very impressed by your action and the wording of your comment. I hope you're doing well and that I'll see you again soon. Take care. Kind regards, --JoanneB 09:44, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing. I had checked the original version and notied it was a copyvio, and then while checking the other versions, had quickly looked and thought they were the same versions (Just wikified further). Thanks for catching it, and will be certain to check more in-depth in the future. I've removed it from the Copyright Problems page. Thanks. --lightdarkness ^(talk) 19:41, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm over in Romania right now, and only barely checking in on Wikipedia; I'll try to get a look at it. - Jmabel | Talk 09:22, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. Thanks for the kind message. I don't know about leaving Esperanza quite yet, but the thought has occurred as I see many people leaving. I'd like to see ESP get back on track to its original goal. Maybe we can fix some things during the wikibreak. — Ilyanep (Talk) 02:54, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jay, sorry I haven't responded sooner. -- I haven't looked at this article in recent months (I've been spending my time imitating the Ram-bot on a much smaller scale by creating a number of articles on local administrative districts in Ethiopia), but I wouldn't be surprised that the article is suffering. The other week, I spent an afternoon reverting the work of a linkspammer on a number of Ancient Egyptian articles, & was surprised at how a number of the articles on Egyptian dynasties have gotten worse! I'm not saying that my writing is not without fault, but they all looked as if they had been rewritten by sixth-graders!

And I also understand your frustration; some days I want to chuck the whole project & find something else to contribute to. There is something about online communities (most of Wikipedia's problems are not unique to Wikipedia -- or even Wikis) that inevitably lead to conflicts & frustration at a faster rate than in the non-online world.

Anyway, I think you have a good idea: rewrite the article in a temp file -- if you put it in your own user space, I believe you'll be able to keep better control over it -- & when you think it is ready, start making an effort to replace your work with whatever is currently in the namespace. Opening an RfC might be a way to accomplish this with a minimum of complaints over "ignoring other people's comments". If you need any input -- or just want to rant about something -- feel free to contact me. -- llywrch 04:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I'm sorry for noting voting in time! I've been rather busy lately and haven't been very active on Wikipedia lately. I still voted after the deadline. Of course, I don't expect it to count but I still wished to express my views for the historical record. Anyway, how are you?

First let my apologize in the tardiness of my reply. I do not believe that your request will be problematic but please make a formal request on the the maps talk page of the WikiProject U.S. regions. Since you are requesting an adjustment of states rather than an exclusion I don't expect that their will be any objections. Just please keep in mind that the maps exists to show possible regional definition rather than a single one since classifications vary from source to source. -JCarriker 23:14, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have responded to your request, on the maps talk page with policy points to support your postion and state my intention to make the changes if their are no objections within the next few days. Please also consider signing up as a participant in the project. -JCarriker 00:13, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently an edit war at Southeast, so I am holding off on making the changes until it blows over, because I don't want to get embroiled in it. Please feel free to remind me to make the changes latter. -JCarriker 15:12, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the edit war has ended. It doesn't look like the map change would have effected it anyway. Kaldari 05:43, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
