[edit] A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower ^háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Leoville.gif)

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Leoville.gif. 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. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 11:47, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[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.

The last AC meeting (full log) 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. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, Freakofnurture, and Titoxd 05:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

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.

• Cat got your tongue? Albatross2147 22:34, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Problem

There is a discussion with 2 members of wikipedia which has resulted in 2 personal attacks on my user talk page after I reverted POV text and may I add not well written text from the Nine Network article. Would you look into it and I realise I may of broken the 3R Rule however I did try various routes to solve this problem and they came up empty such as Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. - Mike Beckham 23:20, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm quite busy at the moment, so I can't really investigate, but I've warned the user against making personal attacks. If he continues to revert the article list the page at WP:RFPP to request protection of the page and then discuss changes on the article talk page. If he makes another personal attack, leave {{subst:npa4}} on his user page, and if he makes another personal attack after that report him to WP:AIV for blocking. Hope this helps. —Mets501 (talk) 23:26, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Albatross2147

I'm sorry it took me so long to send a message to you, I had an internet outage. But I have removed removed your request from WP:AIV. Albatross is actually an established user who has apparently helped out with that article before. So it was indeed a misunderstanding on your part and an over-reaction on his part. Anycase this is not vandalism. I think this a non-issue really, but if you want to pursue this matter you can report it to either WP:PAIN for personal attacks or for just general administrator attention where it can be discussed to WP:AN/I.--Konstable 23:39, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

It could be POV pushing. I haven't looked carefully through it. But the point is that WP:AIV is meant to be a place for quick obvious vandalism blocks not requiring much debate or investigation. This looks like something which could very well be debated, especially since he hasn't reached all the required warnings for a block on a personal attack, and POV-pushing is not something you can usually block someone for. I'm actually only dropping in here for a couple of minutes and I'm not an admin just yet, so I can't take a look myself, sorry. But if you want to have some admins to have a look at it and do something about it, drop it to WP:AN/I. But again, I think it still a non-issue and probably doesn't require admin intervention just yet. (The reason I removed your request was that I was doing RC patrol at the time and WP:AIV was getting severly backlogged so I helped out the admins by clearing a few cases that don't require obvious speedy blocks)--Konstable 23:51, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Look - I was making a small change to the Nine Network which unhappily coincided with Michaelbeckham's revert of some content he clearly didn't like. I noticed that there was a clump of deleted stuff on which I didn't draw any POV conclusions and other missing bits and pieces. I then tried a manual fix to the page and I thought I had notified everyone I thought might have had an interest in the pages's content. Then Michaelbeckham left an unwarranted attack on my page and I responded by asking him to correct it - not unreasonable I would have thought. Many hours later I reminded him with some vehemence. However he chose to rush off to at least two admins to complain instead of responding to me in some way directly. Albatross2147 00:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AMA request

Sorry, we've had a little bit of a backlog at WP:AMARQ lately. I've seen that you've talked to some sysops about your problem too. My question is do you still need the help of an advocate? If you don't, or if you do still want one, just leave a short reply at WP:AMARQ under your request. If you do still want one, the AMA will try to find an advocate for your case. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk) 00:52, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Konstable's RfA thanks

Hi Michaelbeckham, thank you for supporting me in my RfA, which was closed as successful last Wednesday with a unanimous support of (47/0/0). I will do my best to help keep Wikipedia clean, green and vandal free. Once again, thank you! --Konstable 14:47, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violations

Hey Mike, I just came here to leave you a message about the Adam Boland article and noticed that my name was mentioned above in the section about Rove, so I responded to that as well.
I saw your comment on Talk:Adam_Boland noting the article was a copyright violation. I've removed all the text I could identify as a copyvio. In future, the procedure for dealing with copyvios is to revert to the last version which does not contain a copyright violation. If there is no version in the history which is clean and if the article was created in the last 48 hours, you can tag it with {{db-copyvio}} and it will be speedy deleted. If it's older than 48 hours, it needs to be listed on the copyright violation page. It's great that you noted it on the talk page, but it's much better to get rid of copyvios as quickly as possible by tagging them so an administrator knows to delete it.
Cheers mate, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 10:29, 18 September 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.

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?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 03:11, 31 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 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. 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] Header Link

I modified the link in your header on this page so that it actually works. The way you had it was causing people to edit a page titled User_talk:Michaelbeckham&action=edit&section=new instead of adding a section to this page. I've deleted the incorrectly created page. The content was either relatively old or not that significant. If you want me to move it here, let me know. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 20:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] mass unjustified db-spam

I suppose you saw what's going on with Special:Contributions/Luci_Sandor, and that's why you unreverted my revert. I advised User_talk:Luci_Sandor#Violation_of_Wikipedia_policy and User_talk:Adam12901 about appropriate actions. Opinion? --Lexein 07:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Foxtel
