Hi Abigor -

Just wanted to let you know that when a proposal is empty, we're using the {{cleanup}} template to designate that, not a deletion template. We want to give the creator several days to flesh it out, rather than deleting it right offhand and potentially losing the idea. Thanks for your help! -- Philippe 18:09, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

A okay, sorry :) Abigor 18:10, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Also, as a general rule we give a very wide discretion as to the use of userspace. For instance, without a compelling reason, I would not delete this. -- Philippe 18:51, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Administrator Tools

Thank you for your very kind offer to serve as an administrator for this wiki. I'm creating new administrators today, and you're in the group that I'm giving the administrator tools to. I encourage you to use them rarely, and only after consideration. I prefer that pages be retained if there's any doubt as to their legitimacy. Please assume good faith on a massive scale. If you come across something questionable, please feel free to contact me, I'm almost always online. Please feel free to move proposals to the "Proposal:" namespace, but leave the redirect, for a while, so that if someone has put a link in their favorites, they can find their proposal.

With that said, also feel free to use the block button for inappropriate contributions (spammers should be blocked on sight) and anyone who is blatantly disruptive. The block template at {{blocked}} gives them instructions to contact me if it's an incorrect block. I will keep an eye on your use of the tools the first several days so that we both know that you're using them in the way that's calibrated with the other administrators. Please understand that if I contact you about an action, it's done with my thanks for your volunteerism.

Welcome, and please - again - accept my sincere thanks.

Thanks for your trust :) Abigor 09:36, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Welcoming Users

Hi, just wanted to drop a note to let you know that User:Mwpnl configured a welcome bot for us - there shouldn't be any need to welcome users manually any more. But watch for a malfunctioning bot, just in case, and block it if it's being bad. It's User:StrategyBot. -- Philippe 18:57, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Next Steps

	Next steps!
	It's time to answer some questions! Would you check out the list of questions that were submitted by the community and others and try to answer some? -- Philippe 01:15, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
