An image that you uploaded, Image:John G. Althouse.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation.

Thank you.

This image does not meet the public domain requirements set out in the tag you used when you uploaded the image. Further, an image is presumed to be copyrighted unless there is an express indication otherwise. Skeezix1000 12:46, 12 May 2006 (UTC) Sorry about adding Steve Woomert on alumni. It was meant as a joke. Do you go to Martingrove, Tom?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Trombonist3EYB (talkcontribs).

Thanks. I guess I should just leave it for someone else to delete.--Tom 00:09, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Esperanza!

Welcome, Tomfulton, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact our administrator general Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

[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.

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] Archiving Talk:Main Page

Hello, Tomfulton. I don't recommend archiving Talk:Main Page too early. Sometimes conversations take place over several days. I've restored some not so old discussions from Archive 84 to the active page, giving people more time to respond. Thank you for the cleanup work, though. That talkpage can get very long and messy rather often. Happy editing. -- PFHLai 19:18, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My signature

Now that Esperanza is gone, I need a new signature.--TomI edit my userpage too much, 19:09, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I promise I won't change my signature again for a while.--Tom 03:04, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Iboyko

Iboyko's page. (Wow. It felt so good to put on that template)Tyson Moore 01:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

NO! (joke) Tyson Moore 01:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

::(Joke) :: Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism which, under Wikipedia guidelines, can lead to blocks being applied. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Tyson Moore 01:07, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I strongly object to that comment, even if it is a joke. So far, I have a perfect template-related record. Please don't mess it up as a joke. That really isn't fair, adding frivolous warnings to other people's talk pages. P.S. You are allowed to comment on other people's talk pages, it isn't nonsense.--Tom 01:16, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removing Messages

I've removed them from my talk page, and archived them. Tyson Moore 21:52, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Signature

In your signature, it says 'Tom'. I recommend you change it as there is a legit editor called Tom. Thanks.

ThePurpleMonkey(talkportalcontribscount) 01:39, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Please see your talk page.--Tom 21:15, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
But, it 'is' against WP:U to impersonate an established user (of which you are not trying to do...). I.E. If my signature said 'Monkey', then I might be reprimanded for impersonating User:Monkey. And WP:SIG says to follow rules in WP:U, so, you be the judge. (WP:AN here I come) ThePurpleMonkey(talkportalcontribscount) 22:43, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
ThePurpleMonkey(talkportalcontribscount) 18:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
I don't see a problem, actually you PurpleMonkey are not listing to that guideline as you have an image in your sig. There is a user named arjun but has never made an edit, and I still sign as Arjun as it is a common name and so is Tom. So really it is fine to sign as Tom. ~ Arjun 00:42, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Llama Man informed me of the image and external link in my sig, which has since been removed. ThePurpleMonkey(talkportalcontribs) 16:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
