[edit] A welcome from Master of Puppets

Hello, Limetom, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We're glad to have you in our community! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.

Happy editing!

P.S. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :) MoppEr Speak! 05:09, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Also, thanks for expressing interest in Esperanza; however, you don't meet the membership requirements yet. Feel free to try again in a while. :) MoppEr Speak! 05:09, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
I now meet the requirements and am a member, for those wondering about this seeming contradiction. --Limetom 18:39, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Calidissima?

"Malum grammaticam mea culpa est" is not very indicative of a calidissima locutor. Fortasse, you would change it to something like, "me mala paenitet grammatica mea" or something that is at least grammatical, before calling yourself a calidissima...

[edit] Your user page

Well, you could always plagarize mine. Some people like it...just take a peak at the templates on my page, and see if they work for you. - LA @ 06:52, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Kashimashi userboxes

Ah wow, thanks for telling me. The reason I was reguarly edited that article is because I love the series, anime and manga. I may just make my own Kashimashi userbox now. :) -- (十八|talk) 06:56, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Back, and I've made one of my own. Can be seen here. -- (十八|talk) 07:23, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I realized that too about the order of the kana, but I was trying to duplicate the official logo seen at www.kasimasi.com. -- (十八|talk) 07:35, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your input on the matter, but I like the way my userbox came out since, again, I was trying to duplicate the official logo to the best of my ability without actually using it in the userbox since copyrighted material can't be used in userboxes (I was told). I could try though to make a definate likeness of it using MS Paint...hmm, I think I'll try that now and get back to you. :) -- (十八|talk) 18:26, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 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.
  1. The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  2. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage.
  3. 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!
  4. The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it!
  5. TangoTango has written a script for a bot that will list new members of Esperanza, which will help those who welcome new Esperanzains greatly!

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] Concerning P.O.D. article and User:The Crying Orc

I've noticed that you have some disagreements with this user; so do I, and at least one other person does as well. Checking his edit history, most of his edits have an anti-Christian bias, and almost all of his edits are unproductive. If I may, I would like you to direct you to WP:RFI, where this user is apparently "standing trial". It would be nice if you could add your two cents to the discussion. I'm glad I'm not alone in this.

[edit] Warnings

You are following me around and reverting my good-faith edits to articles, often without explanation. You are also posting notes in places where I am soliciting assistance (I see you 'Christian metalheads' are quite fine with doing that) telling people I am editing in bad faith. Please stop. You are violating WP:STALK, since it is by no means established that I am going against policy in my editing here. Here's some more reading matter for you:

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's NPOV policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Wikipedia guidelines dictate that you assume good faith in dealing with other editors. Please stop being uncivil to your fellow editors, and assume that they are here to improve Wikipedia. Thank you. The Crying Orc 17:59, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough, apology accepted. Primarily, I am concerned with being accused of acting in bad faith. Actual content disputes can be resolved amiably, I am sure. But if my edits are simply dismissed on other grounds, we can never get round to sensibly discussing content. I just signed up and have been accused of being a vandal, which I am not (I'm closer to being a goth), so I am a little uptight.
I appreciate the manner in which you took the Christian metal article in your stride, and edited it to conform with a more balanced, verifiable ideal. The Crying Orc 18:48, 19 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.

[edit] Image:Sinaibeach band.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sinaibeach band.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok 23:09, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of J-pop artists

I have tried to respond to some of your arguments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of J-pop artists and I invite you to continue discussing there. Thanks. Axem Titanium 02:46, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
