User talk:El Oso

Welcome

I am a little pissed off that no one gave me that nice "Welcome to Wikipedia" post. :( El Oso 06:52, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

found your name via google AFTER making a poem up from scratch. http://poetry.tetto.org/read/29736/ maybe you'd get a kick out of it; pure serendipity, is all.

Here's your welcome post

Here's your welcome post. Don't worry, no one gave me one either.

Welcome!

Hello, El Oso, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

I also see that you stole my Ceiling Cat userbox. In case you want to change yours, mine now says "This user knows that ceiling cat is watching you."

What gender are you?

You have 2 userboxes that contradicts one another. Can you explain? You are male and also a mother? How is that possible. Meinz 20:18, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a joke, the mother one. El Oso 08:33, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sources required

As a self-professed Wikipedian from Mexico City, please help to find sources for Fresa (AfD discussion) in order to make a verifiable encyclopaedia article about the concept. See chav for how such articles should be sourced. Uncle G 11:49, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:57, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
