Is there a quick way to check what edits have been added to the CD-list dinosaurs, since my run-through and your sweeping up? I expect you've been monitoring pretty closely, anyway. Is it something AutoWikiBrowser can handle? I have started going through the first few, individually (& laboriously), only to find nothing of concern.

Welcome, Firsfron, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.
Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow. In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles. I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee, Titoxd, JoanneB, and Freakofnurture. If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me by my talk page, Celestianpower by email or talk page, or the Esperanza talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users on our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, please see the IRC Tutorial, which was written by one of our members. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be! Thanks!

I don't know if you've been following this saga, but the root of the problem is CoolKatt number 99999 himself. He is a poor editor. He wastes much precious space on Wikipedia with these fictional pages, and he can't accept criticism in the real world. He believes that anyone who changes his work violates WP:OWN, anyone who constantly questions him (or taunts him, as he would have you believe) violates WP:STALK, and he has been very uncivil to me and others. He is currently waging a personal war against me for re-reverting some of his vandalism (which, he says violates WP:POINT). Some examples: Here is some recent evidence:
He has complaints logged against him on Requests for comment/CoolKatt number 99999. He is on a personal ego trip and he needs to be put back in his place, and soon. Rollosmokes 08:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
You misunderstand me. I didn't bother to read the message you left for me on MY talk page, because all it was was "Well, he did this", in response to me asking you NOT to call other editor's work "vandalism. Vandalism is NOT what CoolKatt has done.
No, one was for CoolKatt, and was written under his sentence, not yours.
I'm not backing up CoolKatt, as I left the same message for him on his page. Check for yourself. I am only "getting involved" to the extent that what both you and CoolKatt are doing is violating WP policy. In your edit summaries, you write that you are "reverting vandalism". You are doing no such thing. You are in fact reverting the work of another editor. Whether I agree with it or not is one thing, but you cannot continue to put the word 'vandalism' in your edit summaries when it is clearly not vandalism. I have asked you now twice to please stop doing so. Thanks in advance, --Firsfron of Ronchester 17:47, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, you're right - I did quite a few articles that way myself, earlier on this afternoon, using dinosaur + Greek - however, the refinement you suggest will speed it all up, i.e. "find 'greek'" will improve the whole process!

Yes, I fully expected the comments on background and didn't realise I could do anything about it. I have Photoshop 7.0, I think, but have never used it - any tips welcomed. I'll have a go at it, myself, while you're 'off air'. Heaven knows why I saw fit to cut off Utahraptor's tail! Megadangerous trick in real life, I would imagine. I can crop the Utahraptor foot. I'll put up the other 'Tyranno' & 'Edmonto' stuff!, when I get time, so you can take a critical look (I had real problems selecting one of the 'Edmonto' shots, as they all suffer similar problems, which you have kindly neglected to 'rub in'). Yes, 'Pachy' is the real thing - lazy caption. Don't know why I goofed on the spelling of Coelacanth. One day, I'll try to get better shots of 'Tyranno' skeleton & Iguanodon's 'hand'.

That sketch, together with some others, was one I made as a kid back in 1995 or so when it was still not so uncommon to show "swingy" tails. I looked for these sketches in our dusty attic this morning as I noticed that is a lack of dinosaur drawings, so I thought they might be of use. I have a lot of other drawings too including Protoceratops, Iguanodon and other hadrosaurids, but I only uploaded these, because the others are reproductions of copyrighted images. About the dilophosaurus: I think that old views of dinosaurs like the sluggish or swamp ones have their historical value too. And so are those with flexed theropod tails. As these are old views, I understand the current guidelines, but as I haven't drawn dinosaurs in years, reworking it to a second version will probably be not something for the near future. In the meantime, the description of the sketch is: Sketch of a dilophosaurus in late 20th century vision. Recent evidence indicates that theropods had greatly stiffened tails, while the picture shows an animal whose tail could perhaps have been tied in knots., so if the drawing is used in other wiki's, it is noted that the image pose is outdated. By the way, your Doei! would be completely right if I was from the Netherlands. However, I am a Belgian and as most of the Belgians I too speak Dutch, that differs a little bit from the Dutch in the Netherlands. We never use doei! as it sounds weird or funny. We use words ranging from groetjes, groeten, tot later to tot ziens :) Good luck with the project!

The above caption is exactly how Ballista left it, all 3 large photos in one section along one side. Now this isn't a new article, this article has been to a collaboration & is now on FAC! I had, & have, every right to talk to Ballista about his photo skills. How dare you come here & start berating me because you discussed the descisions prior. Spawn Man 00:36, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Can you please explain to me how the following letter was rude? I was only rude & uncivil when you butted your nose in. I know you really enjoy editing & uploading photos onto dinosaur articles, but some care must be taken! Some of your photos are out of focus/in bad light/irrelevant (choose 1 or more). Other times, you just place them in the most akward locations, such as all in one section. Take some care to carefully plan out where they will go or where they will fit. Don't just plonk them anyhere k? The ones which aren't that good, don't put them in. Think of it like a piece of cake. You've just eaten a buffet meal & you're sooo full. But everyone else is eating cake, so you want some. You don't need it, but just cause it's there you eat it. Or think of a bad picture as a toy you never use. You never use the toy, so your mum wants you to throw it out. You plead that you do play with it, but you never do. If a picture is bad or is overcrowding the text, throw it away or don't use it. It will save everyone time & overall, make the article ten times better. This was a friendly reminder from your friendly neighbourhood Spawn Man! Thanks, Spawn Man 00:01, 22 June 2006 (UTC). P.S. Kids, eat your veges! It isn't very rude is it? No. WEll it would be relavent if I could find the page which discusses this or if I was actually involved with the talks.
If you don't like the way I operate myself then don't go poking around things which weren't even being discussed with you.
No I don't treat people nicely.
Now that that that's out of the way.
I wasn't saying Ballista was responsible for all of the pictures, I was merely talking openly about some of his pictures. I didn't even present the pictures Ballista didn't take to him, only as an example to you of the pictures I deleted. This is because there were 2 different topics, both of which you confused together & misinformed.
Topic 1, Me deleting some of Ballista's pics &/or moving them & his pic placement.
Topic 2, Me deleting photos from other people.
You came over & accused me of deleting other's hard work, both Ballista's & others. So I merely showed you all photos I deleted, not just Ballista's.
It is you Firsfron of Manchester that was misinformed.
If you have a problem with me editing, so sue me, (not litterally, as the phrase, so don't go harrassing me with no legal threats either) .... Spawn Man 01:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

However, I think it is a highly needed picture. Is there any way you could photoshop out the glass exhibit line going through the picture & lighten it up significantly? It would save the picture & get velociraptor featured... Ballista told me you'd do it, but I doubt that... Anyway, thought I'd give it a shot, it will need doing eventually anyway.... Thanks, Spawn Man 04:18, 23 June 2006 (UTC). P.S. I'd do it, but I don't have photoshop..

Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter. As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.
