[edit] Junior Certificate
I am not very informed of the workings of the examinations system these days, but would your additions (on the Appealing Grades) to Junior Certificate be better in State Examinations Commission? I will leave it for you to decide. Regards. Djegan 20:37, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Helpme
Would anyone be willing to help me rebuild my userpage?
- The helpme tag is for basic editing help towards building the encyclopaedia. Redesigning your userpage is beyond basic help and does not contribute to enhancing the encyclopaedia, so sorry but no. --pgk(talk) 18:43, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- The helpme tag, as someone said above is not for redigning userpages. Only for use wikipedia's encyclopedia articles. --Falc 02:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Helpme v2
As I don't quite know how to do this, I think an Article's infobox needs to be changed for Friday's new housemates. Prehaps differtent colours for housemates in "Main House(Yellow)" and "Secret House(Green)". If someone would please inform me how to do this, I'd really appreciate it.
- I think the best course of action is to ask on the article's talk page - there will be someone there to help you. Since it is such a popular show, the problem will probably be fixed anyway, but having a chat on the article's talk page won't do any harm.--Commander Keane 02:14, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:BB7 Michael.jpg
Could you please tell me how Image:BB7 Michael.jpg qualifies as a TV screenshot? Thanks. — FireFox 14:28, 01 July '06
- Ok thanks, but you do realise that if the image is the one taken from the Channel4 BB website, it will have to be deleted for copyright reasons? Cheers, — FireFox 15:07, 01 July '06
- Ok, no problem. — FireFox 15:11, 01 July '06
[edit] August Esperanza Newsletter
|
|
| 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. |

|
|
- 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.

[edit] September Esperanza Newsletter
|
|
| 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. |

[edit] Infoboxes
Please do not add foreign channels to the original channel section of infobox, you do not see an s appended do you? It's meant for its original channel not syndication channels. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 18:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:D44 2208 looking glass g.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:D44 2208 looking glass g.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] November Esperanza Newsletter
|
|
| 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?

- 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.

This guy is your personal B-day red panda! Congrats for being one year older and staying with
