[edit] 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.
  1. 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!
  2. The In development section of the proposals page has been created.
  3. 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have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived.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.
  4. 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.
  5. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
  6. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign.

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] 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!

[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 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.

[edit] Civility

Hi, I just thought I would say that your edit description on The Wicker Man is in my opinion inappropriate. The user who added the image, Davidbspalding, has significantly improved the article since he began work on it. Please keep edit descriptions civil. Thanks. Mallanox 01:01, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Ah, yes. Sorry about that. I meant in no way to offend anyone who made contributions to the article, but the previous caption was very unencyclopedic, or at least seemed that way to me. Although I probably should have kept the crap bit to myself. Again, I must reiterate that I'm sorry to all offended parties, and didn't mean to insult anyone's contributions. --Brandt Luke Zorn 04:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Smashing Pumpkins Wikiproject

I was hoping to be able to find a open-source image to use, but if none are available, another logo would do. Godlord2 07:12, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Looks good. You can go ahead and put it into the banner when you have the time. Thanks for the hard work. Godlord2 00:21, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Black Sheep (film)

Hi, I undid your edit to make it a redirect to one film. there are actually two films by that name now:

thanks, - Denny 04:05, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I see. I was fixing a double redirect at Black Sheep (movie) at the time to Black Sheep (1996 film) when I changed that redirect at Black Sheep (film), but even that first one should probably be fixed now. --Brandt Luke Zorn 04:15, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flocabulary AFD

Hi Brandt. Wanted to give you a heads up on Flocabulary - it doesn't seem WP:A or WP:Not at this point. Mostly, it seems WP:Corp and misses POV. If you want to chew it up a bit, that's fine, but it's tilted enough to warrent afd over cleanup. Christopher Jost 01:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CotW

Hey, would you like to be in charge of updating the Alternative WikiProject Collaboration of the Week every week? Teemu08 takes care of tallying the votes and updating the required fields most of the time, but it seems like he's awfully busy to do it on a regular basis. We just need someone to do it every week in a timely manner. I just updated it for this week, but it's already two days into the week (and all those templates and fields give me a headache). Let me know if you'd be up for taking care of that on a regular basis; it'd be a big help. WesleyDodd s 09:55, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure, I could do that. No problem. --Brandt Luke Zorn 14:51, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
