Re:

¿A qué viene tu agradecimiento? Geographer23_talk 02:34, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

@Geógrafo23: A que veo que al menos sabes cómo comportarte en un proyecto Wikimedia. Pensaba hablar contigo uno de estos días sobre tu reintegración a ciertas wikis. Recibe un cordial saludo, LlamaAl (talk) 02:35, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

¿Ciertas wikis como mi añorada Wikipedia en español? Geographer23_talk 02:36, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

No hay que ser muy pretenciosos :P. Ese sería el último paso de tu reforma. Pero no quiero adelantar nada por el momento, ya lo hablaremos con calma después. Por el momento te recomendaría trabajar en otros proyectos de manera calmada y productiva, que conocimiento no te falta. Un saludo, LlamaAl (talk) 02:38, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Pues primero, quiero que quede extremadamente claro que no soy Globalphilosophy. Segundo solicito reemplazar la plantilla títere por usuario expulsado en mi PU de eswiki. El resto irá después. Saludos, Geographer23_talk 02:43, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Ya me mostrarás las pruebas pertinentes después. Podrías hacerlo por correo, si deseas. LlamaAl (talk) 02:44, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Pruebas enviadas vía inbox, respetar por favor las condiciones mencionadas en dicho mail. Un saludo cordial de mi parte, Geographer23_talk 13:22, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Una duda...

Hola, por casualidad Patoschild puede configurar vía global la misma firma de usuario?. ♫♫ Leitoxx ♪♪ 16:50, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

@Leitoxx: Hola. El servicio de Pathoschild cerró el 28 de febrero tras el cierre de las confirmaciones de steward. Pronto, una herramienta OAuth reemplazará el script y podrá ser manejado por el usuario que lo desee, sin necesidad de esperar que las solicitudes sean procesadas. De todas formas, las peticiones de cambio de configuración habían sido deshabilitadas desde hace bastante tiempo. Saludos, LlamaAl (talk) 16:53, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Ok, gracias ♫♫ Leitoxx ♪♪ 16:54, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

BORRADO DE "TEACH CHILDREN BUILD INDIA"

buenos dias,

anoche escribi un articulo titulado "TEACH CHILDREN BUILD INDIA" sobre una organizacion no gubernamental, surgida de la iniciativa civil, para la efectiva inclusion de los ninos de las tribus de Odisha, India, en la red de educacion publica. El articulo fue borrado casi de inmediato tras su creacion y desconozco los motivos. Por un lado, el tema es relevante, no existen otras iniciativas como esta en la zona, no es ninguna publicidad ni personal ni privada, mas al contrario, se trata de una organizacion sin animo de lucro alguno que genera un beneficio social. es un tema digno de ser conocido, actual y que esta creciendo de manera muy relevante en el estado. No existe ningun animo de publicidad de un individuo o un interes particular. Entonces, por favor, dime cual es la razon por la que lo borraste. Asimismo, si eres tan amable, dime como recuperar mi texto. Creo que el movimiento debe ser conocido y si no lo aceptais vosotros (lo cual me extrana mucho) lo introduciria en otras paginas de informacion publica.

Gracias, Llamahal. (El articulo esta en ingles pero yo soy espanola) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lumpenqueen (talk • contribs) 04:28, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Hola, Lumpenqueen. Para empezar, debo indicarte que estás totalmente equivocada: este sitio es un proyecto utilizado para la coordinación de los proyectos Wikimedia y el movimiento Wikimedia, y cualquier material no concerniente a lo antedicho será borrado. Puedes tratar de escribir del tema en Wikipedia, teniendo en cuenta siempre sus políticas. Un saludo, LlamaAl (talk) 21:06, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

@Lumpenqueen: Acabo de comprobar que efectivamente creaste el artículo en Wikipedia en español, donde lo borré. El motivo del borrado fue w:es:WP:BR#A3. Un saludo, LlamaAl (talk) 21:08, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
