[edit] Expansion of WikiProject Hard Rock

You initiated the WikiProject, so I would really like it if you could look over my proposal to expand it to cover rock music in general, and make yourself heard. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Hard Rock. Cheers. --Reaper X 00:58, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Yea, for sure man! Then its settled: WikiProject Hard Rock will now become WikiProject Rock music. Cheers. --Reaper X 22:00, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Well I have sent all members notices, and you are basically the only one that has provided a response. It's been over 2 weeks now. I asked the WikiProject Council, and they said it would just be easiest to move all the related pages to their new names ( ... Hard Rock → ... Rock music). Shall I get started? --Reaper X 20:36, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Yea, I'll let everybody know. I have made all the page moves and it is now official, we are now part of WikiProject Rock music! Eh, and I see that you have made an invitation already. Thats awesome, if you could keep inviting people that would be great! I wanna really get this going, get more articles, members, etc. Cheers. --Reaper X 01:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rock WikiProject

I appreciate the invitation but I am spread pretty thin right now. I'm afraid I don't have spare time to join another WikiProject. Good luck though! --Aguerriero (talk) 22:19, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 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.
Signed...

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.

[edit] Thank you

For reverting the vandalism. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 13:50, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your RfA

Hello! I have left my comments on your RfA. The key message is 'get some experience', as your answers don't reveal a working knowledge of admin-related tasks, processes and duties that require your usage of the admin tools. I see above that you have the Esperanza newsletter. Take a look at the Admin coaching programme that they run, you will find that useful. Try another RfA application in 2-3000 edits time. Regards, (aeropagitica) 23:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for having to oppose your RfA, but you need to get a wider view of what adminship is all about. I'm on that same learning curve! --Steve 00:50, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

It is my regretful task to inform you that I have closed your request for adminship early as unlikely to achieve consensus. Please do not be discouraged; a number of users have had their first RfA end without consensus, but have been promoted overwhelmingly in a later request. Please continue to make outstanding contributions to Wikipedia, and consider requesting adminship again in the future. You may find Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship helpful in deciding when to consider running again. If I can be of any help to you, please do not hesitate to ask. Essjay (Talk) 06:43, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Thanks for asking me if I would be interested in adminship. But, I am still inactive (and hope to return in December). I will let you know when I become active again. Thanks, again. :) Cheers --soumসৌমোyasch 08:40, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ashley West

A tag has been placed on Ashley West, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Princess Tiswas 17:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | unblock | contribs) asked to be unblocked, but one or more administrators has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators can also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). This unblock request continues to be visible. Do not replace this message with another unblock request.

Request reason: "I don't know why I have been blocked. It appears that an imposter called DavidJJJ2 has been using my ip address. It do not know who he is. Please unblock me!"

Decline reason: "See below. Daniel.Bryant T · C ] 09:12, 10 December 2006 (UTC)"

Administrators: This template should be removed when the block has expired, or after 2 days in the case of blocks of 1 week or longer.

We can't unblock you at this time, because you haven't given us the information we need to look into your block. You yourself were not blocked; if you were prevented from editing, you must have been autoblocked or blocked because of your IP address. I'm removing your unblock request because there's nothing we can do without this information. If you are still autoblocked by the time you read this message:

  1. If you have a Wikipedia account, please ensure that you are logged in.
    Your account name will be visible in the top right of this page if you are.
  2. Try and edit the Wikipedia:Sandbox by clicking here.
  3. Copy the {{unblock-auto|...}} code generated for you under the "Autoblocked?" section.
  4. Paste the code at the bottom of your user talk page and click save.

If you are not blocked from editing the sandbox then the autoblock on your IP address has already expired and you can resume editing. Daniel.Bryant T · C ] 09:12, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Question

Admins usually like to see at least a few thousand edits from prospective admins, plus at least six months' active participation and a good grasp of policy—subject to individuals' pereferences, of course. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 19:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
