User talk:Mr. Turcotte/Archive 1

Hi! I'm bored, so i'm writing to everyone i know on this site (sadly, that won't take long) in order to see if they still check thier messages. So, anyway, I'm writing to everyone. Except Jared. I don't know why not Jared. Maybe because he's sitting right next to me. Okay. You're probably asleep by now, this mesage is so boring and piontless. Bye. ~*Sarah*~ 18:46, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Turcotte, thank you for joining the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! This summer, starting on June 14, I will be going on a long WikiVacation, and obviously will not be able to do my "duties" (if you can call them that) as leader of the Birthday Committee. I would like for you to be in charge from June 14 to September 10. This doesn't actually entail much, but you will be allowed to change rules for joining the committee, make some new templates, etc. If you can't do this for any reason before June 14, please notify me. If you decide you don't want to after June 14, please ask NathanRDotCom if he would like to. Should he choose not to, have him ask GeorgeMoney. If he turns it down...use your best judgment on which member should be in charge for those few months. Thank you. Jared W 19:49, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

hi, so why do you want to be an administrature? Navy Brat 17:49, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay? But still why exactly do you want to be an administator? to help? do good? Navy Brat 17:34, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Love the butterfly award! :) ~*Sarah*~ 19:23, 9 May 2006 (UTC) P.S. Hi, how are you? I haven't left a message latly, in fact I haven't been on Wikipedia in a while, so I just thought I'd write. Okay, now the P.S. is longer than the message, so bye!

{{BDC Bulletin 1}}

Thanks for agreeing to be in charge of the BDC this summer. There are just a few duties you will need to carry out during this time:

• Read requests for membership, and see if they meet requirements. This can be done using their contributions list and block log. (If they do, add their names to the member list, and put the welcome template on their talk page.)
• Approve or disapprove Birthday Templates.
• Keep the Bulletin Board up to date.

I guess that's about it. Thanks! Steveo2 19:23, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay so that's the reasons why? Navy Brat 17:41, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

What the other reasons? Navy Brat 17:48, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mr T,

Please be careful of your spelling. I already had to direct your original article, "Nurosarus", to the correct spelling, which is Nurosaurus. Now I see you've added to the Nurosaurus article, but you've again misspelled it each time you wrote something about it. N-u-r-o-s-a-U-r-u-s. Just a head's-up. Thanks, --Firsfron of Ronchester 00:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I realize that this is the third time I've written to you on the subject, but I'd just like to make sure that you're still interested in being in charge of the birthday committee. If not, here is the complete list of who to pass the position on to, from first to last:

1. Nathanrdotcom
2. GeorgeMoney
3. Thistheman
4. MacGyverMagic
5. Sergeant Snopake
6. Tdxiang (Note: The following people may be addressed in any order, as I was not sure of where to place them on the list.)
7. Mizuamina
8. Condem
9. Old Abe
10. Haza-W
11. Jslasher
12. Butterflys

• Note: Gen. Eisenhower may be joining sometime after July 28. If you're not busy, and if he doesn't speak to you first, ask him if he's still interested when the 28th is coming up.

Thanks again! Steveo2 19:33, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey, you returned that message quickly! You didn't have to apologize! I had guessed that you would still be interested. Steveo2 19:41, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

See ya! WOOT! Steveo2 19:44, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for wishing me a happy birthday on my talk page. I really appreciated it! Thanks again. If you have any questions, please see my talk page. Ian Manka Talk to me! 00:48, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Please could you make them into "real" templates for me? It's just that I'm not entirely sure how. Sorry. Oh, and you're doing a great job looking after the committee, I meant to say something when you updated the Bulletin, but I've been very busy. Thanks! Sergeant Snopake 22:33, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

:Sure can. I'll do that right now. Mr. Turcotte^talk 23:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello Mr. Turcotte, and thanks for voting in my recent RfA, which passed with a tally of (68/19/3). I appreciated your comments, which I hope to take on board in order to gain your respect in my work as an administrator. Best of luck in your continued editing of the encyclopedia! Sam Vimes 20:01, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. 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. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AEsperanza%2FCharter&diff=59977509&oldid=52572171 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.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower ^háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Mr Turcotte for the birthday wishes and the yummy looking cookie! Much appreciated.

I'm not sure if you've discussed this before I joined, but has the WP:BDC considered "spamming" the newsletter to talk pages of users who sign up for it?

Can we please remove those membership requirements? Don't you think they are a bit silly? Anybody can use the template {{tl|happy birthday}}, so being a member doesn't really matter. I think the membership requirements are a bit eccessive. --GeorgeMoney ^{(talk) (Help Me Improve!)} 23:59, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the birthday wishes. :) -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 05:24, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Webkid&redirect=no#Happy_Birthday_.28Again.29.21 congratulate me]! :) --webkid 13:23, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

While well intentioned, it be a bit inappropriate, given that someone is reporting he has just died. You may want to remove the cake from his talk page.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! :) Darthgriz98 03:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey
Thanks for the note on my page
It's a pleasure to be on the team ;)

I was thinking, If I'm on the birthday committee, what if I want to be wished I happy birthday? Should I just put my birthday on the calendar when it comes around?{{User:Mac_Davis/Sig}}

Hey there Mr. Turcotte. I've noticed that you said a few days ago on the BDC talk page that you are a bit busy. I know that the bulletin board hasn't been updated in a while, so I hope it's all right with you if I update it when I'm online later today. Thanks. Thistheman 06:32, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I’m back! I don’t have a lot of time to write, though. I’ll start by saying that I’m practically dizzy with amazement at how much the BD Committee grew. I’m allowing you to stay in charge of the group for as long as you want to, and as long as the members want you. I guess I’ll just see you on the fifth! Steveo2 15:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I've added the "{{tl|prod}}" template to the article Keeping on Gaming, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Keeping on Gaming. If you remove the {{tl|dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Joyous! | Talk 23:09, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for leading the birthday committee, and even though you are not the creator of it, I still thank you for leading this great idea. Cheers! •The RSJ• ^{(Main Hub - Rants)} 22:41, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mr. Turcotte!

Hi Mr. Turcotte. I'm a member of WP:BDC and I know that you're the leader of the project. I suggest that we should add signature (I mean the code ~~~~~~) to :Template:Happy Birthday 9 and :Template:First Edit Day 2. What do you think about this idea?
