I hope things get better for you

Image:Esperanza.Fhloston.jpg
Esperanza hopes that your stress will blow away soon.

Hello, we've never corresponded before, but I noticed your user page, and saw that you were stressed. I hope things get better for you, and you can come back to Wikipedia. Take care, --Tachikoma 08:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry to hear that things are stressing you out, Tdxiang! I hope you can relax a bit, and imagining you are in this lovely place will certainly help. -- Natalya 11:45, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Hey don't worry. Relax, your work is appreciated here. Please don't leave, take care. All the best -- Banes 12:32, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Stressed

Hi Tdxiang, I'm sorry to see on the Esperanza alerts page, and then on your user page, that you are so stressed out. I obviously don't know the ins and outs of your problems, but I do know that you always come across as a really good editor, one who would be sorely missed from the project. Whatever you decided is best, I wish you luck. Thε Halo Θ 14:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey there, I hope things are doing better for you. I was just dropping a line to ask if you have sent me your results for the Userpage Award yet? I can't see your e-mail, maybe I've accidentally deleted it. :) Would you mind sending it to me again? Thanks. All the best -- Banes 13:31, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

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.

Puzzled

So last night I was accused of vandalism on an article I merely contributed to, and today the notice about how/why my IP could be blocked and/or reported to Road Runner. Is something wrong? --72.227.81.95 17:40, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

You're welcome!--1568 22:11, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

re:W00t!

Sorry to disappoint you Tdxiang, but I wasn't returning full-time. — Moe Epsilon 04:55 August 21 '06

*%

You might want to consider removing the afd tag from *%, since prior to that the article in question was nonsensically renamed, and then blanked (all maliciously, as it appears). Please check the history... GregorB 17:26, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

In fact, I sorted it out with the editor in question, you can see the discussion at User talk:DarknessLord. It was not malicious. The new entry should be deleted; however, it is necessary that you complete the deletion procedure, i.e. go through steps II. and III. described here. GregorB 20:18, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

A RfA thank you from en:User:Xyrael

WikiThanks

I'd like to thank you Tdxiang for either supporting, opposing, commenting, nominating, reading, editing, promoting and/or anything else that you may have done for my successful request for adminship (I've broken the one thousand sysop barrier!); I'm thanking you for getting involved, and for this I am very grateful. I hope to be able to serve Wikipedia more effectively with my new tools and that we can continue to build our free encyclopedia, for knowledge is power, but only wisdom is liberty. Please do feel free to get in touch if you feel you can improve me in any way; I will be glad to listen to all comments. Again, thanks 8)             —Xyrael / 12:04, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Move Roman Catholic Church to Catholic Church

There is a vote at Talk:Roman Catholic Church: A Vote on the Title of this Article on moving Roman Catholic Church to Catholic Church. You are invited to review it. --WikiCats 03:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the barnstar. That is greatly appreciated. :D --Terence Ong (T | C) 10:38, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Re: TVB dramas

Find the Light was broadcast on TVB Jade in September and October 2003. Blade Heart in March and April 2004. Don't know when they were made, since quite a lot dramas were shown on TVB Jade some years after filmed. Some have their titles changed from what were previously advertised. And in fact TVB usually sells video cassettes before the dramas are showed on TVB Jade. — Instantnood 15:42, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

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!

hope you don't stress out

Hi there, I hope you do well on your exams, and hopefully you don't have too much stress about it. Try not to lose too much sleep over exams either, because lack of sleep can hurt your academic performance. This won't sound very helpful right now, but eventually you reach a point when you realise that exams and grades don't mean much in the larger scheme of things. Good luck! --Kyoko 06:35, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Exams

They suck but are usually over soon. I'm familiar with basically putting your life on hold until done with exams. Do your best, stay calm and maybe reverse roles and take advantage of Wikipedia if you need to. And don't worry about everyting else; the rest of your life will still be here when exams are over. Cheers! Roadmr 17:38, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

If you're still taking/studying for exams, I hope they are going well! Try and feel confident with what you know, and all will be okay. Good luck! -- Natalya 14:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Why, thank you so much! I shall do my best. Until then, see you!--Tdxiang 04:20, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Elections

Esperanza elections
Thanks for supporting me in the September Advisory Council Esperanza elections. Although I wasn't elected to the Advisory Council, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was shocked at the support, and was touched by it. Hopefully I will re-apply in March and try again for the job. Thanks again, Highway Daytrippers 23:46, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for this! —Sengkang 06:09, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
