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!

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 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!

Reply Requested

Please reply to my request for clarification on Wikipedia:Images_and_media_for_deletion/2006_November_6#Image:Semen2.jpg_.28talk_.7C_delete.29. I respectfully decline to accept your KEEP without a substantial rationale. The image you are supporting is IMHO an obvious vanity image and meant as a disruptive joke. Thanks.  Erielhonan  talk | contribs   仕方が無い   06:30, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion request on image

You submitted Image:Ms Rosanne Marseille 24Juille06.jpg for speedy deletion, stating that it was unencyclopedic and had no concievable [sic] use. I'm curious to what your rationale is, as it is an image in the public domain and is currently used on Navel quite effectively as an illustration of the topic.

Reverting edits on Meg Cabot

Why did you feel the need to revert my edits on Meg Cabot? 137.238.123.135 22:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't see how the word "barn" is an insult. She actually has bought and moved into a barn. It's on her website. I'll cite it if I need to. 137.238.123.135 17:36, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

WP:24

Hi there, I see you have used the WP:24 shortcut to this essay [1], yet it hasn't been edited in some time. I feel WP:24 would be better used to the 24 Wikiproject, of which I'm the co-ordinator. For the time being, I've renamed the link to WP:COMMAND, if you feel this is an issue, please contact me, and I'll chat with you about it. Cheers, Steve Crossin (talk) (anon talk) 22:10, 14 April 2008 (UTC).

Motto of the day

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold (t/a/c) 01:42, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

thx

you're a considerate user.. ;) cheers —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.181.248.152 (talk) 12:33, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
