But why? Why!?

➨ ЯEDVERS awards this Barnstar to Wikiwoohoo for being very deserving of lots of barnstars for solid, high-quality, appreciated good work.
➨ ЯEDVERS awards this Barnstar to Wikiwoohoo for being very deserving of lots of barnstars for solid, high-quality, appreciated good work.

Why do you appear to have only one barnstar to your name? What on earth has caused this oversight? Cheeses, you must have more than one to your name. I only hope someone, somewhere, feels it a good idea to give you one. A barnstar, I mean. ➨ ЯEDVERS 19:28, 16 October 2006 (UTC) (shiftily looking left and right to see if anyone has.)

Would you mind fixing the link on this one? Thanks! --Fang Aili talk 21:04, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Aeon & Wikiwoohoo,

Alrighty guys, here's a rediculously crazy situation: On top of the 10 cases piling up, new people joining the organization, and other crazy stuff hitting the fan... my wife and I are expecting our new daughter to arrive any day now. :-)

As a result, I'm going to be out of full swing for a couple of weeks and I need you guys to do your best to keep the AMA afloat. The Wikiholic that I am, I know that I won't be away completely, but my appearences will be unpredictable at best. I trust you guys, as you've proven that you know how to keep cool during crunchtime, and if at any time things get too unruly to handle, send me an email and I'll see if I can drop by to help out. :-)

Wish me luck! אמר Steve Caruso (desk/AMA) 15:30, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

BBC Portal

I see that you removed my link to the BBC Portal from Bbc.co.uk. Can you let me know (or point me at the appropriate policy) when portal links should and should not be used? I assumed that portals were like categories in that anything which falls into the subject area which the category or portal covers should be linked to it. By that reasoning it would make sense for all BBC related articles to be linked to the BBC Portal. All the main London Underground articles seem to be linked to the Tube Portal. I am sure that I am missing something here but I am not sure what. --DanielRigal 23:44, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

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.

User page award - a thank you

Thanks for the award. Template:Emot I will try and re-enter the Esperanza User Page award once I have fixed some little bugs with my user pages. --tgheretford (talk) 19:40, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Semi-protect function

Hi. I'm not an admin but I was wondering if this would still allow me to semi-protect certain pages that have been vandalised quite often within the past few days. If not, how could I go about having this assigned to articles? Wikiwoohoo 20:01, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello! Take your business case for semi-protection to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. It will be assessed and granted/refused after a discussion. (aeropagitica) 20:12, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

BBC WikiProject: BBC2 idents

I noticed there wasn't a page in existence relating to the BBC2 idents of 1991-2001, so I would like to start by creating a page for this. However, if it's okay, I request help with supplying the pictures as I'm not entirely sure how to use this yet, and don't wish to make any copyright blunders. If you, or someone else, can help when I'm done I'll appreciate it. Thanks. - Psychic Potato 10:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I also used MHP [1] for the Paper Cut-out and Crystal Ball pictures. I'll continue to make some more progress tomorrow. - Psychic Potato 16:13, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree with your recent edits, a few details which I missed out first time round. However, could there be a Copper Cut-Out image with the older BBC logo perhaps, as it looks out of place? Also, I think there should be a section on Christmas & special programme specific idents such as Red Dwarf Night. If either of us has the time, it would make a reasonable addition. -- Psychic Potato 10:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

The Tireless Contribution Barnstar

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
For all the tireless work and contributions you have made to the BBC News 24 article. tgheretford (talk) 21:10, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


I wish you luck for the good article renomination. --tgheretford (talk) 21:10, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, excellent work done on the BBC News 24 article :). Now just to get BBC News to GA status (its a GAC at the moment). RHB 21:44, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

For your kind welcome, I've been to the meeting page and looked around. I still feel new, it will take me a while to learn what to do and the right way to do it, but I hope to become an avid contributer. At the moment though, I'm inundated. Dfrg.msc 1 . 2 .
