August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential! What's New? In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs. To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed! The In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign. Signed...

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

Re: Hello

Thanks. I never intended to specialise in football articles, its just that articles about relatively obscure things I know something about, for example Neutron activation analysis, are already pretty comprehensive when compared with sports articles. You've probably already been working with me more than you realise - I'm the one who puts the Football Article Improvement Drive notices on people's talk pages and that sort of thing.

September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors! What's New? September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves! Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there! The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself! The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it! TangoTango has written a script for a bot that will list new members of Esperanza, which will help those who welcome new Esperanzains greatly! Signed...

Lance Armstrong GA nomination

Hi! You passed the article while my concerns, suggestions were not answered. I think in this state the article still doesn't meet the criteria. NCurse _work 16:36, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree with you, it's really close to the GA state. I still think that my without answering my suggestions it shouldn't be GA. But I'm a real fan of that hero, so if you think so, we could finish it to become GA. :) NCurse _work 17:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:LexLuger.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:LexLuger.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 04:33, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey

Hello,

Just dropping in. Hope you are having a nice day. Don't be so blue. Things can get better most of the time. --Saoshyant 15:35, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hello there

Why, thank you. But unfortunately, I didn't 100% originally create it. I took most of the userpage from User:Nightstallion, but tweaked it with my user info. If you'd like me to revamp your page in the fashion of mine, I'd gladly do it. Other 'pages of mine used to look like this, but that was before I revamped it. Glad to see other users are actually visiting my page. Thanx!  Scrumshus ^{Talk to me} 21:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Watford appearances

Hi Kingfisherswift. Just thought you'd like to know that I've created a table on my page listing all the Watford players appearances since the last update of their infobox. So instead of having to check the page, see when it was updated, then work out how many appearances there are since then, you can simly consult the list! HornetMike 19:49, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Your sig

You ought to remove the Watford logo from your sig - using it contravenes the fair use policy, and in general, images in signatures are frowned upon. Oldelpaso 11:07, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Proposal for rugby super league

Leave your opinion on this[1] matter if you are interested. It is basically about the term rugby super league being used as a disambiguation for all rugby competitions by that or a similar name. Currently it is used as a page for the American RU competition, the rugby super league.

November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!) Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. What's New? The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one! A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello. Signed...

TV

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the post on my talk page. :) I hope you enjoyed the program. I must admit that, although the recognition is useful, I feel quite guilty because it's almost entirely down to 1) luck and 2) the hard work of others. Oh well, if it helps WP get exposure and improve then I guess that's payback enough ;) Cheers! Nach0king 16:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

DeMerit as vice-captain

Not entirely sure Watford have an official vice-captain. Before King was injured, he used to take over if Mahon left the field. DeMerit captained against Stockport and Reading, but then again Stewart was captain against Blackburn, West Ham (cup) and Man Utd. HornetMike 11:35, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

No worries! HornetMike 21:41, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Shep

I see you saw the message on WT:CRIC. Your efforts are much appreciated. User:The Rambling Man and I are trying to get this up to GA or FA as fast as possible, so we can get it ready for the World Cup. If we do it fast enough, we'll pick another similar article. Anyway, thanks for the big contributions... delighted if you stick with us. --Dweller 22:41, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Rock music invitation

Hello WikiProject Alternative music member.
WikiProject Alternative music, in my eyes, has proved to be successful "improving the encyclopaedic coverage of articles relating to alternative rock", and improving their quality as well. One specific example I have witnessed is The Smashing Pumpkins article. The page has gone from a mediocre work, to GA status, to FA nomination. Only appropriate, as the Pumpkins are undeniably one of the most influential alternative rock bands on the 1990's and beyond.
This is the stuff I wish to achieve with the somewhat recently ressurected WikiProject Rock music. I hope to also attract attention to rock music articles of all sorts, and hopefully change some to GA or FA status. I invite you to come join us, and not only be a member of alternative Wikipedians, but the rockin' ones as well.
Rock on.

Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 21:02, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Dear Kingfisherswift,

I noticed your recent comments on several FAC articles. I recently nominated the Ohio Wesleyan University page. Almost all of the comments have been very suportive of the article so far, but I was wondering if I could get fresh eyes to take a look at it and give me an opinion. Thank you so much! I really appreciate your time!!! LaSaltarella 00:55, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Signature

Hi,

Much as I like your varying array of clever signatures on WP:CRICKET, I can't help noticing that they can be a bit distracting and probably fall foul of Customizing your signature guidelines!

Please don't take this as an attack, I'm just pointing out what I have seen and read. I'd hate for them to detract/degrade the excellent work that you do around here.

Best wishes,

MDCollins (talk) 02:12, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
