The Working Kid's Barnstar |
Now you have to give props to kids on Wikipedia (I am one) donating some time to Wikipedia. It is good In my opinion for kids to be involved in the internet. It is an oppurtunity for other things, so I am giving you this barnstar I made. --RayquazaDialgaWeird2210 (talk) 01:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC) |

[edit] November Esperanza Newsletter
|
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.

Hi, I have seen that you are using the Cacycle editor extension. This program is no longer actively maintained in favor of its much more powerful successor wikEd.
wikEd has all the functionality of the old editor plus: • syntax highlighting • nifty image buttons • more fixing buttons • paste formatted text from Word or web pages • convert the formatted text into wikicode • adjust the font size • and much, much more.
Switching to wikEd is easy, check the detailed installation description on its project homepage. Often it is as simple as changing every occurrence of editor.js into wikEd.js on your User:YourUsername/monobook.js page.

[edit] Your user page
I basically modified D.B's header for you so all the links are yours... if I'm really motivated I might make custom icons for my own use, you'll be welcome to use them too.... as so protecting it, it's its own subpage, but as with the nature of all web code it's impossible to shield it totally... anyway if you have any questions, just talk to me at my page. David Fuchs 23:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
All your pages have been moved to this user. The status changer is in the same spot, only with "Daz 90". Also, with the above header, it is now located at User:Daz 90/SandboxII, as I had to move it out of the way for your original header. Daniel.Bryant [ T · C ] 04:13, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- Don't forget to fix your signature links, and check your email :) Daniel.Bryant [ T · C ] 11:36, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Land Rover bike.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Land Rover bike.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}} , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 20:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Roger1(3).jpg listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Roger1(3).jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. MECU≈talk 04:17, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- I nominated for deletion because it is orphaned (OR) which means it is not being used on Wikipedia and I see no encyclopedic value for this image (UE). Wikipedia doesn't need to keep images that aren't being used (there are 90,000+ orphaned images!) and I can't see where this image should be used, since there isn't much information about the image on the page. If it is a picture of you or something that is encyclopedic, then use it, on your userpage or elsewhere as appropriate. If you do nothing, it will likely be deleted Feb. 16th or later. Thank you. --MECU≈talk 19:30, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Dean saunders.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Dean saunders.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:18, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] An AJOF Christmas
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article An AJOF Christmas, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of An AJOF Christmas. tomasz. 22:49, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] AfD nomination of An AJOF Christmas
An editor has nominated An AJOF Christmas, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/An AJOF Christmas and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 11:59, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
