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.
  1. 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!
  2. The In development section of the proposals page has been created.
  3. 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have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived.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.
  4. 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.
  5. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
  6. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign.

Lala image

Hi there! Apologies for the late reply - I didn't notice your message sandwiched between the spam :-) I'm hesitant to assume the image is GFDL/compatible with Wikipedia copyright policy, but I suspect the uploaded is associated with a (presently unavailable) website dedicated to Victoria Cross recipients. The website's content was "migrated" to Wikipedia by its creator, User:Mike Chapman. There is an inactive project that provides greater detail. Hope that's of help! And the break's been enjoyable - I miss Wikipedia, though :-) Happ y editing! SoLando (Talk) 01:00, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Reply about Ryan McCombs

Honestly, I feel no need to start an edit war (I'm mellow). I did research upon SOiL's genre, and it said aggressive rock. But, if you can prove otherwise, I insist you change it, as that will most likely be more accurate. I appreciate the care you put into not inflaming a edit war, and this should be, as you are a member of Esperanza. If you do or do not find evidence suggesting that SOiL was a metal band, please reply. I am curious upon the result. Thanks again, -Evan 13:38, 21 August 2006 (UTC).

Picture problems

THANKS MATE! I owe you one, sorry I'm a tool with picture tagging :S I just love that pic :D --Mudel 20:13, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletions

Hi there; for information, the template for deletion of an article with nothing in is {{db-empty}}. It's much quicker to type. Happy wikying!--Anthony.bradbury 14:36, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Sure. The two templates which I would say are essential reading are WP:SUBST which lists the various deletion codes, and Wikipedia:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace, which gives a list of messages to leave on an editor's talk page; this is quite often necessary.--Anthony.bradbury 14:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
P.S. that last one is 29 pages long!--Anthony.bradbury 14:52, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, fair bit to take on board. A word of advice, and it's not with any problem in mind, because what you've done you've done right (apart from not knowing about empty, but flagging the article was correct). Advice - when you're first starting, be careful. If you're not sure, leave it; someone else will be looking out and will see it. This might save you from being moaned at, and improves your standing when/if you start looking for admin status. (No, I'm not, yet)--Anthony.bradbury 15:01, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

World's Strongest Man

Thanks for redirecting the title. If you don't mind could you quickly go through or give me the link to instructions on how you did that? I clicked move to, then entered World's Strongest Man, and it told me I couldn't do it as it was a double redirect. Quadzilla99 14:48, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I retagged Ambatchdotcom

Spam is not a valid speedy deletion criterion. I changed your tag, placing {{db-a3}} on the article. BigNate37(T) 16:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

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.
  1. The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  2. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage.

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!
  • 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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Re-ignition.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Re-ignition.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation 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.
