Welcome

Koo koo ka choo. (Well, somebody had to say it! :) ) Welcome to Wikipedia. User:Zoe|^(talk) 22:03, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Esperanza

Hello: I noticed you recently added your name to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members. As listed at the charter, one must have 150 edits, and been active on Wikipedia for at least two weeks. You currently have around 60 edits, according to Kate's Tool. I've removed your name from the membership, but please feel free to rejoin when you spent some more time here. Thanks. Regards, Bratsche^{talk | Esperanza} 18:44, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Dahm.JPG

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Dahm.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Wikipedia:Getting on my nerves

Over the last few days I have been not allowed to welcome new members by posting on their talk page (Ashibaka) so I will be leaving editing wikipedia for a while--IAMTHEEGGMAN (talk) 22:49, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently I have banned a user who is on AOL, and thus banned many AOL IPs. If you give me your IP I can unban it. Ashibaka tock 22:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to find it... next time it happens, the boycott has been cancel'd--IAMTHEEGGMAN (talk) 23:01, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed your blocking. Jayjg ^(talk) 01:44, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please unblock...

If you can edit my talk page, you are not being affected by a block. However, this IP (64.12.116.12) is not presently blocked. It's last block was on 1 Jan, and it was almost immediately lifted since it's an AOL address. Did you get the IP address right?-Splash^talk 02:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. Sig Test

Not too many Beatles references around these days. At least, not too many that people get. Cheers! – Clockwork Soul 00:41, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well then give me details, small useless things like what flag/motto/other such things on my talk page and I will form it for you --ThrashedParanoid ★ 01:43, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another Esperanzial note...

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

In alphabetizing the candidate list I removed the dashes in front of your signature. I'm letting you know so you can put them back in case you really wanted them there. NoSeptember ^talk 09:07, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

UPA Judge

Hi IAMTHEEGGMAN/Archive 1! You've signed up to be a judge for the Esperanza User Page Award! You'll be assigned three user pages to examine. Pick your favorite one and award it 1-10 points in four categories:

Attractiveness: general layout, considering colour scheme and/or use of tables if applicable
Usefulness: links to subpages or editing aids, helpful information
Interesting-ness: quirky, unique, captivating, or funny content
General niceness: at the judges' discretion

Please see the Scores section on this page for additional information on your job as a judge.

Keep in mind that your scores are a secret! Email Rune.welsh with your scores and final picks. Please contact him for information on how to email him. As soon as all the scores have been tallied, a winner will be announced! Thanks.

And here are the userpages for you to examine:

Thank you --Banez 12:32, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, the template that you have recieved was not correct. I have gone ahead and updated it. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. KnowledgeOfSelf 22:10, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I got your email, I apologize, as Rune.welsh is this weeks overseer. He should get the email :-P. You don't have to give scores for any of the pages yet. What you do is pick the best userpage out of the 3 above. You then list your choice on the UPA page. [1] Please re-read that page, as it will help to explain your role as a judge bettter. Also, Wikipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award/E-mail layout after 5 finalists have been picked, please use the layout on that page, when emailing this weeks overseer. Thanks in advance, and if you have any questions my talk page is open. KnowledgeOfSelf 22:10, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I got your email. Just as KOS said, please write your finalist in the section provided at Wikipedia:Esperanza/User_Page_Award#Scores (you're judge #2 so write it there and sign it). Hope this clears the confusion. -- Run e Welsh | ταλκ 00:26, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Karmafist's Request

I have a request of my fellow candidates, and of the voters -- that all candidates give a vote to every other candidate.

It may seem that this request goes against the idea that leadership and potential leadership of our group should be neutral, a precedent that has been followed since the beginning of Esperanza by JCarriker, but I beg to disagree.

For one, mathematically all votes would be cancelled out, but unlike if we stayed silent, we are showing an affirmation of our support for each other.

To me, that's what Esperanza's about. I've had disagreements with many people in Esperanza, but i'll always support them in some form or another as long as I believe as they'll do the same for me -- as long as we're unified in a belief that kindness can cure the ills of Wikipedia as a whole.

Kind reminder from the UPA overseer

The five finalist user pages have been finally listed on the UPA page. Please don't forget to take the time to evaluate them and send me the results by email using the e-mail layout provided. The results will be published as soon as all judges have submited their results. Thank you! -- Run e Welsh | ταλκ 14:52, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Voting for yourself at the Esperanza elections

Candidates should not vote for themselves. When voting, please make sure you vote for the candidate you intend to support; due to the large number of candidates (and thus sections), you may accidentally click the wrong "edit" link on the side.

Votes discounted under the Esperanza rules for elections are recorded here for purposes of transparency in the election process. I've copied and pasted this directly from Wikipedia:Esperanza/February 2006 elections/Vote. I'm sorry to say you can not vote for yourself. :-) KnowledgeOfSelf 01:12, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

/Fool

Gee.. thats original where ever did you get it? ;-) Moe ε 02:59, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I actually meant this question to be sarcastic, sorry, as I have seen at least 10 users with these boxes only after I put it on my page. No worries, I just hate my ideas being copied, lol. :-) Moe ε 20:52, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Esperanza/February 2006 elections/Vote

Wrong, I'm afraid... you can not, in fact, vote for yourself. I have highlighted this at the top of the vote page; I hope this clarifies things. Your attractive election staff member, haz _(user talk)^e 13:12, 23 February 2006

Esperanza Elections

Hey IAMTHEEGGMAN! I wish to say thanks for your vote at the Esperanza elections.

I've made my way into the Advisory Committee, so if you ever need any help or have any queries about the stuff we do, please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks again, KnowledgeOfSelf 10:07, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
