Wow, your user pages are almost exactly like a Facebook. :)
Anyway, the Gesu IPA pronunciation is right on the
Your status
Well done - the "Status:" on my user page (which I pinched from yours) reveals far less noteworthy news than yours does! Still looking for second secret page, haven't given up yet. Stole your signature too (too lazy to make one from scratch), the colours I'm using need fixing, need to look up colornames...
- Well, I'm flattered that you like my status as well as my sig. Congrats on quitting smoking, as that's surely not an easy task. or html color codes, you can check out WebMonkey Color Codes. Good luck continuing to find the 2nd page. Cheers! hmwith talk 12:58, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help! I've changed it slightly, as you can see → talk 05:33, 4 July 2007 (UTC)]

First secret page
I wasn't even trying to look for it. It just happened. Chantessy 13:09, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Second secret page
Not really hard but I'll try to find it Uchiha23 17:34, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I believe it is the second paragraph in the
User page layout
Did you know your user page layout is totally screwed up on IE6? The right column displays below the left. On the new IE, the right column boxes are cropped on the right side. A shame, since it would look so nice otherwise. RichardF 18:14, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- Really? It works fine on IE7 on my laptop and my desktop computers at my house, as well as many other computers I've gotten on, both Windows and Mac. Weird. Do you have a smaller screen? It's the exact same layout as most of the Portals. Do those show up warped on your computer as well? hmwith talk 20:20, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Actually, I see the "bumped down" colums on my work computer with IE6 and the "cropped" colums on my home computer with IE7. Both use 1024X768 displays. The bumped problem usually occurrs with 800X600 displays with the portal layout. I haven't noticed the cropped problem anywhere before, but I can see the images inside your frames are wider than their settings. I assume that's the underlying "issue." I've worked on three zillion and twelve portals, so I know those div boxes basically suck! I just thought you might want to know you page has some display issues for some users. Happy editing! :-) RichardF 21:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I appreciate it. Weird. Try downloading the new IE7 at work, and you will have less problems with that computer. As for the other one, I'm not sure. My laptop is 1280x800, and I'm not sure what my PC is, but it must be more. I felt like they were standard sizes, but apparently they're big? I wish I had access to a computer where they showed up looking warped. That way, I could make the changes. I'll check it out. Thanks again for bringing this to my attention. P.S. What do you mean by "cropped"? hmwith talk 21:17, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Gee, you're assuming I have control over my work computer! ;-) When I work on portals, I just change my screen "Display - Settings" to see how the layouts will look on different configuarations. Maybe that will work on one of your PCs to see what I mean. By "cropped" I mean just like on a photo if you cut off an inch from the right side of it. Here's a screen shot RichardF 21:38, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't know what you mean by scroll left/right on the screenshot. I can't scroll left/right on your live page. If you want to see the full width of my screenshot, I'll do it again. RichardF 21:50, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
When I first saw your "secret page," everything went "wide right." That diasppeared a few days ago, along with the horizontal scroll bar. The "problem" was there for me either way. RichardF 21:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I've been watching things come into line. That did the trick! ;-) RichardF 22:05, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
My recent RfB
Thank you so much for your participation in my recent RfB. Though it closed with 72% support (below the required 90%), I'm still quite pleased at the outpouring of support shown by a fair percentage of the community.
I'm currently tabulating and calculating all opposing and neutral arguments to help me better address the community's concerns about my abilities as a bureaucrat. If you'd like, you can follow my progress (and/or provide additional suggestions) at User:EVula/admin/RfB notes. Thanks again! EVula // talk // ☯ // 04:08, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Your Vacation
I see you are taking a vacation to my neck of the woods. Well, you probably won't read this until you get back, but since I live in the LA area, I thought I'd let you know about a couple of places that you shouldn't miss:
- Disneyland - I have a year pass, I go all the time (I live about 20 minutes away). My advice is to go in the morning on a weekday.
- Getty Museum- One of the most expensive museums in the country and home to some of the most beautiful pieces of art in the world.
- Balboa Island- A great, quintessential Southern California beach village. My dad used to ride his skateboard around this area, hassling the shopkeepers.
- South Coast Plaza - Quite possibly the biggest (and certainly the most expensive) mall I've ever been to. This, too, is very close to my apartment.
Hope you're having fun! Now back to my wikibreak. DangerousNerd talk 21:43, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Unfortuntely, despite searching high and low "outside the box," I haven't found it. But I did notice that you go to OSU - I'm going to be a senior at

My only concern is that none of the sources you provided factually say that they lived there, and at least one has denial from the Cruise camp. I don't doubt that they lived there, but the sources say other than what the article says. Take a close look, tell me what you think. Cheers, --wpktsfs 22:08, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- I have a source saying they actually lived here for a fact: The Village Voice of Ottawa Hills, the Ottawa Hills newspaper that every residents gets for free. However, it's not an online source, obviously, so there's no way for anyone to verify it, really, unless they know someone who lives here and can read it. Should I just use that? hmwith talk 14:40, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes, use the Village Voice, I think that would be the most trusted source. --wpktsfs 16:46, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
A real quick shout
Hey I appreciate your contribs to the Giuliani page. I'm sure you can see that I've been working to rebuild the page and make it more neutral as some biased people left the article in rubble for ages. My area of expertise is in sniffing out BS and weasel words (and I still have alot to do) but I'm not so knowledgeable about Giuliani himself. I don't know enough to add the proper "rebuttals" to the criticisms he has recieved. I see that you are supporting Giuliani in the upcoming election so I figured that you might know enough about him to add in the other POV so that the statements aren't all just negative. If you can help me out in this way, or you know someone who knows more about Giuliani, this would really help to make the article neutral.|3 E |_ |_ 0 VV E |) 01:10, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- I just tried to get the basic points said about him in the criticism, and assuming that if people want the full story, they can read the article about them. I agree that I did use weasel words, but it's hard not to in criticism sections. It was just a beginning blue print. I just got one sentence or phrase from each section that was in the criticism section. If any part is BS, please remove it! It's very difficult to make a criticism section NPOV, but if you have any ideas or think the rebuttles should be in the main article, go for it! I was just trying to keep it short, but if it sounds POV, again, try to fix it or let me know of any ideas, as I don't know much about his controversies and such. Thanks! hmwith talk 14:46, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Re. Congrats
Yes, and not found it. Hmmmm, I'll get looking again.
Nearly ready for a second RfA?
I think you may be nearly ready to try for a second RfA. Basically the only problem raised in your last one was lack of time on the project, and as you've been actively contributing for the last couple of months, I think you will have a good chance. Probably best to leave it till the end of July/early August (just to meet the arbitrary couple-of-months-between-RfAs rule) but I will be happy to nominate you then. WaltonOne 14:32, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- I feel I'm definitely ready, now. I've been trying to tackle more Wikipedia space edits, specifically XfD's, in the meantime, too. Thanks for offering to nominate me. I'm ready whenever you feel it's the right time for you to nominate or for me to be nominated. Just let me know! hmwith talk 14:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
OK, let's say another 1-2 weeks - don't get me wrong, I think you're ready now, but some people would probably oppose based on too little time since the last RfA. (I have no idea why, but that's just typical of the RfA process.) I definitely think you will pass at that point; you came close to passing last time, and everyone is impressed with your civil attitude and hard work. WaltonOne 15:04, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

RE Deletion of baseball field logo
Hmm, I have no idea why it was deleted - it wasn't orphaned, indeed it's still linked to from the article infobox, according to the page history. So this doesn't look like a valid CSD I5 to me, and your use of the logo seems to meet
- Yeah, I just see every other baseball field (and other sport field) page that I've seen has the logo used without problem, and that's the other main reason I assumed it was okay. However, I know that is not a valid reason for it to be undeleted in itself, so maybe we can figure this out. Thanks for you quick response, and have a great day! hmwith talk 14:24, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I'd agree. The hubbub has cooled considerably. I'd say take him off for now. If he has an Elliott Yamin like debut (i.e. a non winner or runner up who sells well) or has some sort of significant career in another field, we can readd him. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 14:29, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
My Editor Review
Hello! As I have run into you/worked with you on Wikipedia, I was wondering if you would be willing to comment in
Just following up on my previous comment, and also wanting to wish you luck with a speedy recovery from your surgery. I was still hoping you would have time to review me once you get back to doing your regular editor stuff. I would really like to know how I'm doing from many points of view, to help figure out the quality of my work so far and how to improve it in the future, but there's absolutely no rush - take your time. Once you're back to 100%, if you could just drop me a note letting me know whether or not you'll be able to do it, that would be terrific. Thank you so much for your time, and a really big get well soon! Best wishes for a speedy recovery,
AH!
So... I got an account on Wikipedia forever ago and I know the basics, but that's about it. Want to help me be a better Wikipedian? I'm constantly on AIM when I'm not working at the Nutsack Slavehouse... er... Outback Steakhouse. Please get back to me when you feel up to it and feel better soon!
