For going above and beyond the call of what is required for an average Wikipedian. I, Sharkface217, am proud to award you the Barnstar of Diligence. Keep up the great work! Sharkface217 00:00, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Working Kid's Barnstar
Now you have to give props to kids on Wikipedia (I am one) donating some time to Wikipedia. It is good In my opinion for kids to be involved in the internet. It is an oppurtunity for other things, so I am giving you this barnstar I made. --RayquazaDialgaWeird2210 (talk) 01:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
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 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.
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.
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.
Hi, I have seen that you are using the Cacycle editor extension. This program is no longer actively maintained in favor of its much more powerful successor wikEd.
wikEd has all the functionality of the old editor plus: • syntax highlighting • nifty image buttons • more fixing buttons • paste formatted text from Word or web pages • convert the formatted text into wikicode • adjust the font size • and much, much more.
Switching to wikEd is easy, check the detailed installation description on its project homepage. Often it is as simple as changing every occurrence of editor.js into wikEd.js on your User:YourUsername/monobook.js page.
i would like to change my username but im not sure how. as i have amassed quite a lot of edits im unwilling to create a new account. please could you tell me where i go to aply for a name change DARReNTALK 15:33, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I basically modified D.B's header for you so all the links are yours... if I'm really motivated I might make custom icons for my own use, you'll be welcome to use them too.... as so protecting it, it's its own subpage, but as with the nature of all web code it's impossible to shield it totally... anyway if you have any questions, just talk to me at my page. David Fuchs 23:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
All your pages have been moved to this user. The status changer is in the same spot, only with "Daz 90". Also, with the above header, it is now located at User:Daz 90/SandboxII, as I had to move it out of the way for your original header. Daniel.Bryant[ T · C ] 04:13, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Don't forget to fix your signature links, and check your email :) Daniel.Bryant[ T · C ] 11:36, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for uploading Image:Land Rover bike.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will 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. —Bkell (talk) 20:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Roger1(3).jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. MECU≈talk 04:17, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I nominated for deletion because it is orphaned (OR) which means it is not being used on Wikipedia and I see no encyclopedic value for this image (UE). Wikipedia doesn't need to keep images that aren't being used (there are 90,000+ orphaned images!) and I can't see where this image should be used, since there isn't much information about the image on the page. If it is a picture of you or something that is encyclopedic, then use it, on your userpage or elsewhere as appropriate. If you do nothing, it will likely be deleted Feb. 16th or later. Thank you. --MECU≈talk 19:30, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Dean saunders.JPG[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Dean saunders.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article An AJOF Christmas, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of An AJOF Christmas. tomasz. 22:49, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
An editor has nominated An AJOF Christmas, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/An AJOF Christmas and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 11:59, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just out of curiosity, why does your userpage redirect to Dick Cheney? (In case you're wondering what on earth I'm doing randomly going to people's userpages, I was checking for redirect vandalism (of which there's apparently been a lot, lately...) and stumbled across your page!) --Alinnisawest,Dalek Empress (extermination requests here) 22:22, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
License tagging for Image:Court legal system.JPG[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Court legal system.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Hello Daz 90! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 944 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Phi shirt.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed.

If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only.
If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.
Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.
You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:BLHDA.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination.
ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 23:50, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:15, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Hi. I just wanted to let you know that I've moved some (or all) of your files uploaded here to Wikimedia Commons. What files are those exactly? See here. --TheImaCow (talk) 20:38, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
