[edit] Thanks for the assitance

Thanks for the assitance on the legality of the WGA article. Hopefully action will be taken soon. Kyle 15:56, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I'm glad you noticed that in the first place. -- Damien Vryce

Also thanks for sending the info about Esperanza. Kyle 15:01, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

I know you are a relatively seasonsed editor on Wikipedia, so you know that vandalization of user pages is not allowed. I've caught a disparaging, and homophobic might I add, comment on Fatman's User Page. Please don't vandalize user pages again or you will be blocked from editing. --βigֶ 06:31, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

The "vandalism" you reported on my talk page was hardly "vandalism". If you check and see, the IP Address that we edit on is the same. We are on a school server. As you should have been able to tell by looking at the comments made on my page, nothing was meant by it. And as for your choice for warning me and not him, why? He has written on my page also and yet you keep silent. -- Damien Vryce
Even if "nothing was meant by it," editing a user's page other than your own is not allowed, and from what I've checked, Fatman!! never vandalized your user page. He only commented on your user talk page which is fine. If he doesn't erase anything on your user talk page, there is nothing wrong with editing it. As for the actual user page itself, no one is supposed to edit it but the user whom the page is tied to. --βigֶ 05:38, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Fine. -- Damien Vryce

[edit] interiot.js

Thanks for using my "static link" JS. A tiny thing, though - I've just moved the page the script to User:Haza-w/interiot.js, making it lowercase so that it's sorted with my other JS and CSS files. Could you please change the link in your monobook.js, before I get rid of the redirect? Thanks! haz (user talk) 18:25, 5 April 2006

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #2

The Barnstar Brigade is a new program aimed at giving more very deserving yet unappreciated users barnstars. It will officially start on 2006-04-09, but signing up is encouraged before this date:
"Here in Wikipedia, there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go un-appreciated. 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 un-noticed. Sadly, these editors often leave the project. As Esperanzians, we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. A project the size of Wikipedia has thousands of editors, so there are plenty of people out there who deserve recognition, one just has to find them. The object of this program is not to flood editors with Barnstars, but to seek out people who deserve them, and make them feel appreciated."
The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them.
Information
Welcome to the second issue of the new format Esperanza Newsletter - we hope you still like it! This week, it was delivered diligently by our new dogsbody. MiszaBot (run by Misza13): any execution complaints should go to him. Content comments should be directed at the Esperanza talkpage. Thanks!
  1. The next elections: Approval voting as before and, also as before, an previous leadership member can run. Please submit your name for voting in the relevant section of this page. Voting starts on 2006-04-23 and ends on 2006-04-30. There will be three places up for grabs as KnowledgeOfSelf is leaving Wikipedia. Please see the previously linked page for full details.
  2. The Code of Conduct is now ready for extensive discussion! Specific comments should go to the Code of Conduct talk page, discussion of having one at all should be directed to the main Esperanza talk page.
  3. The current process for accepting proposals for new programs has been deemed fine. All Advisory Council members and the Admin Gen are to endevour to be bold when viewing discussion. If they feel that consensus has been reached, they will act accordingly.
A plea from the editor...
The propsed programs page is terribly underused! Please leave any comments, good or bad, on the page, to help us determine the membership's thoughts on the ideas there.

[edit] Windows Genuine Advantage

To be honest I am no good with legal stuff - perhaps you could post it at the noticeboard so someone who has a better idea of what should be done can see :) Thanks, — FireFox • T [16:02, 7 April 2006]

[edit] Bushism

If you believe Bushism should be deleted, then list it on WP:AFD; you don't have to be an admin to list pages for deletion. Admrb♉ltz ( T | I | E ) 06:45, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Old Skool Esperanzial note

Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Celestianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service.
This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but 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. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
Stressbusters
The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome!
Note from the editor
As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!
  1. Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel.
  2. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect.
  3. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct.
  4. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop.
  5. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon.

[edit] Esperanza

Damien you are always welcome at Esperanza. I added you back to the list per your request at Jimbo's page. You were right that many inactive Wikipedians were removed from the membership list (this was done in November), but all are welcome to add themselves back. When you don't sign in, we can't tell how active you are. Happy editing :). Cheers, NoSeptember 03:41, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
