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have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived.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... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, Freakofnurture, and Titoxd 05:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

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.

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... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, Freakofnurture, and Titoxd 04:04, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

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... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, The Halo, Shreshth91 and HighwayCello 20:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

WP:LT

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the London Transport WikiProject! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of London's transport system.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• You may want to join or create a task force which attempts to drive the improvement of articles within a smaller scope.
• The project also provides templates to help you make the perfect article.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

• Starting some new articles? Our article structure tips outlines some things to include.
• Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every London transport article in Wikipedia.
• You can vote for the London Transport portal's selected article and selected image of the month here.
• Submit your interesting London Transport facts at Portal:London Transport/Did you know for our portal.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!

Your RfA

Hello. I've removed your RfA from the RfA page because it isn't properly formatted. Please complete the required information before relisting. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 21:46, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh. I just took a look at the current state of your RfA request. I hate to break the news but I recommend forgetting about RfA for now. You simply don't have enough experience on Wikipedia and I am absolutely certain that your nomination will fail right now. Please do continue to contribute and perhaps get involved in some form of Wikipedia maintenance like vandal fighting, deletion debates, village pump discussions and so on. Then you can think of applying in a few months. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 21:52, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. RfA can be a pretty grueling process and it can be depressing for enthusiastic candidates like yourself to live through a bloodbath of "Oppose, not nearly enough experience" (see e.g. this recently failed RfA). If you watch every now and then the RfA page, you will get a better sense of what the standards are. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 22:02, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

{{Austin-stub}}

Hi - I see you have recently created a new stub type. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 00:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

You wrote: I moved "Austin-stub" to "Austin-TX-stub". This is my first stub template, so I didn't know that a proposal was necessary. I couldn't move the category, but I put it under Texas stubs. I wish you hadn't moved the template! As I said at WP:WSS/D, it should be at AustinTX-stub - not Austin-TX-stub, since it isn't a subtype of TX-stub (there is no such thing as TX-stub). Please leave any changes until it's decided what should be done with the stub! Grutness...wha? 02:43, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

So, should I move it to AustinTX-stub? No. Please don't change the stub at all until it has had a chance to be discussed! Once the discussion is sorted out, any changes will be made by WP:WSS - basically that's the same process as the debating process that should have happened before the stub was made, but with the addition of having to delete/undo any work already done on it. Changing names across during any discussion simply adds more complications and work for later. It could be, for instance, that someone will point out a better name for the stub template, or suggest that it would be better for use for the area around Austin rather than just the city itself. Grutness...wha? 01:39, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I looked at your request and replied on my talk page a while ago. waiting for you. Comperr 00:02, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I just wanted to let you know that many editors may take issue with your signature. It takes up (in MF) at least seven lines of the edit box. You may want to take a look at WP:SIG for some general guidelines. Cheers! --tennisman 00:19, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Bangladesh portal

Hi, I'd like to draw your attention to Bangladesh portal. I have tried to address the concerns in earlier peer review and checked the portal against Featured portal criteria. Based on this I think it is proper time to push for Featured Portal status for Bangladesh Portal, which will be an important milestone for WikiProject Bangladesh. But to achieve this I need help from you. Please participate in the on-going discussion on the talk page and give me your valuable inputs.-Arman Aziz 03:57, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Making HK ad animated

I can make http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Qxz-ad77.PNG animated. Just leave me a note on my talk page if you want this animated. And, by the way...the Texas ad looks good. Thanks for your hard work, Miranda! Miranda 23:03, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I have also removed the banners from the talk page, since this belongs on talk pages of mainspace articles. Cheers. Miranda 04:35, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I think I would like it animated. Thanks for the Austin ad. Æetlr Creejl 17:28, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Admin coaching

Will you please coach me? I have been looking for a coach for a while. If you don't want to, it's okay. Æetlr Creejl 00:34, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Sure. Do you want to work on a per case basis (assisting) or something like more formal (theoretical)? -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 01:58, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand what you mean. Æetlr Creejl 02:02, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Would you like practicing by assisting and advising me (cases i am working on) or would you like to make it more formal like going through explaining policies and guidelines. It depends on your level of understanding adminship and your experience in wikipedia. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 02:10, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I'd like the latter. Æetlr Creejl 02:12, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Cool. I see that you have been a Wikipedian for almost 2 years so i assume you have the minimum understanding of the policies and guidelines (p&g). In this case, i'll leave the choice of the starting point to you. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 02:25, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to learn the basics of calming disputes and "staying cool when the editing gets hot". Æetlr Creejl 02:37, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok. We'll discuss it tomorrow then. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 03:37, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I've just created a subpage dedicated to this. For reference, please have a look at Richardshusr/Admin coaching. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 19:16, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I've just left you some replies. Sorry for the delay. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 12:51, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Translation

If you cared to share, why you're interested in the translation, I'd love to help. Szabi 13:24, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I guessed that (I found the page)! But that's a pretty unspecific reason. Sorry, it's too long and irrelevant a text to translate "just for fun". If you have anything special you are looking for or any suspicion, I might help.Szabi 10:46, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Little context in Maranzhe

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Maranzhe, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Maranzhe is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Maranzhe, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

WP:RUSSIA roll call and your input required

Privet. You are receiving this message as you were listed on the membership list of WP:RUSSIA at Wikipedia:WikiProject Russia/Members. Recent times has seen minimal activity within WikiProject Russia, and there is an attempt to re-invigorate the project and have it become more organised into a fully-fledge functioning project, with the aim of increasing the quality of Russia-related articles across English wikipedia.

As we don't know which listed members are active within the project and Russia-related article, all listed members are receiving this message, and are requested to re-affirm their active status on Russia-related article by re-adding their username to Wikipedia:WikiProject Russia/Members by adding:

# {{User|YOURUSERNAME}}

to the membership list. You may also like to place {{User Russian Project}} on your userpage, as this will also place you in Category:WikiProject Russia members.

There is also an active proposal on the creation of a single WP:RUSSIA project. The proposal can be viewed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Russia#Proposal_for_overhaul_and_creation_of_a_single_WP:RUSSIA_project, and your comments and suggestions are welcomed and encouraged at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russia/Proposal.

Arabic help

Can you please tell me how to conjugate رآى in the imperfect? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sahmeditor (talk • contribs)

I believe you are referring to the verb "to see" but I am not totally sure since what you wrote above in Arabic means "opinion". Can you tell me from where you got it? -- fayssal - wiki up^® 18:08, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I got it from Wiktionary - it may have been a typo. I am indeed referring to the verb "to see". Æetlr Creejl 20:45, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

In Arabic, the imperfect usually expresses an action in the present tense. There are several vowel patterns (a-a, a-w (u), a-y (i)) the root can take. The root takes a prefix as well as a suffix to build the verb's form. What follows if the conjugation of the verb:

• Imperfect indicative

singular (I - Ana): أرى - Ara

sgl masc (You - Anta): ترى - Tara

sgl fem (You - Antee): ترين - Tarayna

sgl masc (He - Hoowa): يرى - Yara

sgl fem (She - Heeya): ترى - Tara

plural (We - Nahnoo): نرى - Nara

plu masc (You - Antoom): ترون - Tarawna

plu fem (You - Antoona): ترين - Tarayna

2 persons plu masc (They - Hooma): يران - Yaranee

2 plu fem (They - Hoona): تران - Taranee

3+ plu masc (They - Hoom): يرون - Yarawna

3+ plu fem (They - Hoona): يرين - Yarayna

• Imperfect subjunctive (same as above as it is a regular verb - Note that Most Arabic verbs are regular ) -- fayssal - wiki up^® 16:11, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
