[edit] Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome, Boadrummer, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.
Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.
In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.
If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!
[edit] user page
My user page was designed by Dan, I'm sure that he would create you one if you ask him nicely. He's a cracking chap!--JiMoThYTALK 06:59, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:A7X2006BandPromoPhoto.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:A7X2006BandPromoPhoto.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Zackyvmtv.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Zackyvmtv.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Redesign userpage
Hello Boadrummer, how are you? You sure love music so much, just like me :P, and I am a guitarist :P. So, I will redesign your userpage, if you allow me to. But firstly please look at my userpage and another user's userpage I've just renovated (User:Mac Lover). Okay, if you agree, please leave a note on my talk page, then I need to ask some more questions. Have a nice day, cheers -- Imoeng 08:59, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Okay I should start now. But I need your idea(s), like, the main colour, what are the things you'd like me to put, what pics do you like, stuff like that. As for the text and information, I think I'll ask after I've finished with the layout. Cheers -- Imoeng 07:13, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Userboxes
No problems, and no offence taken, I'm much worse at times, believe me... As for your query, have a look at WP:Userboxes, that should be exactly what you're after! Anymore questions, and you can contact me on MSN at hawkertyphoon@hotmail.com, or if you wish, on my talk page again. Regards, HawkerTyphoon 23:09, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Categories
It might be advisable to have the categories removed from the bottom of each page except your user page, in that case, as they cause a large buildup in the actual category. Michael 22:39, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Talk page intent
Hey, Things such as userboxes are only supposed to be used on your user page. The talk page is for communication. You also cannot blank your talk page, as some may look upon that as vandalism. It is customary that one only delete comments on a user page if they are offensive or vandalism. Michael 22:30, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Talk page
Please do not remove messages from your talk page. Talk pages exist as a record of communication, and in any case, comments are available through the page history. You're welcome to archive your talk page, but be sure to provide a link to any deleted comments. Thanks. HawkerTyphoon 22:09, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- To archive your talk page, go to this guideline! As a rule, you shouldn't delete anything except personal attacks on your talk page. It makes people look as if you're hiding something ;-)!I gave you a level 0 warning, which is basically just a friendly reminder, so don't worry about it too much. Have a look at this. It explains everything about talk pages, and has some useful links that should help you. Thanks for replying though, I don't often get that! HawkerTyphoon 22:17, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A7X Member Pages
You've mentioned this page, but a concensus hasn't yet been formed on wether or not to actually make the pages. I don't want to shout 'POLICY' at you, but Wikipedia is a community, and from the page above you can see that the articles shouldn't yet be made, no matter how much you or me or anyone likes A7X. The pages were 'deleted, and re-making them when the members don't meet WP:BIO or WP:MUSIC isn't allowed. HawkerTyphoon 22:20, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

- I don't quite understand what you mean. Why exactly does it say that those two pages (for the bio and music notablity) aren't Wikipedia policy? ? Those two pages aren't Wikipedia policy, but they're guidelines on how notable someone should be before being allowed a seperate article in Wikipedia. Have a look at WP:NOT, it states that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Unless you can prove that those band members are notable according to WP:MUSIC or WP:BIO, the articles are going to keep being made into redirects! HawkerTyphoon 22:28, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
