[edit] Romanian

Hey. You made a rather significant mistake when you marked Un pământ numit România as a copyright violation - namely, you forgot to mention where it's a copyright violation of (which is done by typing {{copyvio|url=http://original.com/wherever.htm}}). I fixed it for you; this is just so you can avoid making that mistake in the future. DS 12:48, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Actually, it was done on purpose - I have no idea where he/she stole it from, since N.Stanescu is a widely known and loved poet in Romania, so I prefered not to add a link. But thanks, anyway Dunemaire 19:46, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Adoptfirefox.jpg

I'm confused as well. The image appears never to have been uploaded to the English Wikipedia - only to Commons. I deleted a page (not an image) entitled Image:Adoptfirefox.jpg that read "ADOPT FIREFOX FUCKERS" sometime in June because it was, indeed, nonsense. I don't understand why you think I've deleted the image; it most certainly still exists. Click the link for ample proof. — Dan | Talk 13:57, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, but I don't think you understand. The image was never deleted! It never existed on en.wikipedia - only Commons. It definitely is still there. Like I said, click the link and there it will be. — Dan | Talk 16:13, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Invasion copyvio

At Wikipedia:Pages_needing_translation_into_English#Soviet_invasion_of_Romania: could you please be more precise about what this is a copyvio of (actual book title, preferably page numbers & ISBN), so we can tag the article as a copyvio and get it off the translation list? -- Jmabel | Talk 18:17, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't mean you were wasting our time, I meant the person who posted the copyvio, who was an experienced user. Apologies if that was ambiguous. We went through a whole AfD process over the thing, which just should have been removed as a copyvio. -- Jmabel | Talk 20:31, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- What you did was basically right. It would have been better to give the title in the original language and to say that you didn't have page number because you didn't have the book at hand. Also, you could have done the follow-up yourself, nothing in this required admin powers. The follow-up was at Soviet invasion of Romania, Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2005 October 23, and Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English. Again, though, what you did was basically fine. My frustration was that an extensive and usually serious (albeit anonymous and partisan) contributor User:86.105.71.34 inserted what I'm sure he knew was copyrighted material. -- Jmabel | Talk 20:51, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

No need to apply speedy delete on that. For Pete's sake, it's a subpage at my user where I gather material to read for the article I intend to create and I'll delete it when I'm finished with the article.Mind you, I even included the source for it in the draft. Dunemaire 15:18, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't know if you're aware, but you did put this article in the main namespace and not as a user subpage. And unfortunately, citing a source is not the same as getting permission for copyright. Stifle 15:20, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Now that you mention it, they appear as main pages, true. What do I have to change in their name to make them simple subpages at my user? Dunemaire 15:23, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

To create a subpage to your userpage, the best way is to create a link to it on your main user page then click the link. The page name must be of the form User:Dunemaire/new_page_name. An example is my User:Stifle/Irish_Railway_Project page. Stifle 15:24, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality userbox

Aha, no problem. I also borowed it from someone else. :D --Mihai -^talk 11:17, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Câmpeni

Salut,

Nice picture that map of Romania with Câmpeni highlated. One thing though, zou should also add the copzright and generalz it carries the on of the source, in that case {{PD}}. I added it.

Also nice article, but I think it should have the title with diacritics, there is no problem (See Braşov, Sebeş etc.), so I'll move it to Câmpeni. I also fixed it a little bit and splited it into sections, hope you don't mind.

Another thing, I-ll be happy if you could start an article about Ţara Moţilor, because I think there should be more things about ethnographical regions of Romania. You could use as a starting point this one: Mărginimea Sibiului (my article :D). --Mihai -^talk 16:17, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

About the Ţara Moţilor, I'll be glad to help. Just let me know when you have started the article. --Mihai -^talk 17:33, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tara motilor

Great work, I'll have a better look tonight, from home (where I can use the diacritics :D). I think I'll try to make a a map, and it would be nice if we could find some more pictures. A generic one, with some typical Apuseni landscape or a village (a house) I think it will do. --Mihai -^talk 15:52, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey Dunemaire! Thank you very much for your support on my RfA. To my amazement there were no negative or neutral votes and the result was (28/0/0).

[edit] Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

75px|left Hi Dunemaire. I, SoothingR would like to commend you on your edits pertaining to the article Iron ball paint. Edits like that give Wikipedia the christmas spirit which we need so much. Especially today.

Thanks for your peaceful and useful contributions, and I wish you a merry christmas - and ofcourse - a happy new year.

Best wishes, SoothingR^(pour) 16:35, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Reverting your barnstar? Hell no..thanks a lot for the barnstar {{{1}}}. It's people like you who keep this website interesting for me. I need a little recognition sometimes in order for me to know that my contributions are productive. -- SoothingR^(pour) 10:08, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Online Wedding

Thanks for adding the pic! It looks great! We (my wife and I) have ours in hard copy, but lost the jpg. Good to another.--ghost 15:35, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Ours was on Ultima Online, AOL Legends shard. It made a splash because it was the first on the shard. Had about 100 people attend. It was a real blast.--ghost 15:49, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adi de Vito

You really have a major problem with Adi de Vito since you keep modifying my article about him ...

You must have an obsession about his 'growth failure' ...

Do you really have to do that ?

Yup, I hate the guy's guts. But that still doesn't keep me from taking out POV from the article. What's your excuse? Dunemaire 14:34, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

...

Well, my friend, I am glad that we both hate his guts! I will stop writing nonsense there and just let the article as it is - probably there will be people to write that "Adi takes bl**-**b" and so on: it's a free world, or at least that is what we are told in school ...

A truly wise decision. For the record, when you write on talk pages, it is customary to sign your comments by using "~~~~"Dunemaire 15:46, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] An Esperanzial note

As I remember, the last spam that was handed out was on the 20th of December last year, so I think it's time for another update. First and foremost, the new Advisory Council and Administrator General have been elected. They consist of myself as Admin General and FireFox, Titoxd, Flcelloguy and Karmafist as the Advisory Council. We as a group met formally for the first time on the 31st of Decembe. The minutes of this meeting can be found at WP:ESP/ACM. The next one is planned for tonight (Sunday 29 January) at 20:30 UTC and the agenda can be found at WP:ESP/ACM2.

In other news, Karmafist has set up a discussion about a new personal attack policy, which it can be found here. Other new pages include an introductory page on what to do when you sign up, So you've joined Esperanza... and a welcome template: {{EA-welcome}} (courtesy of Bratsche). Some of our old hands may like to make sure they do everything on the list as well ;) Additionally, the userpage award program proposal has become official is operational: see Wikipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award to nominate a userpage or volunteer as a judge. Also see the proposed programs page for many new proposals and old ones that need more discussion ;)

Other than that, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you an Esperanzially good new WikiYear :D Thank you! --Cel e stianpower ^háblame 16:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another Esperanzial note...

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1

Reach out
Reach out is a program aimed at allowing users to bring issues that they have had in Wikipedia to a listening, sympathetic and caring audience: "No one can know how we feel if we do not say. We cannot expect to get understanding if we do not ask for it. No one will dispute that sometimes life's issues are too much for one person. It is fair to say that sometimes Wikipedia's problems fall under the same heading. This is a place where you can bring the bruises that can sometimes be got on this project for attention."
Stress Alerts
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.
Note from the editor
Welcome to this new format of the Esperanza Newsletter, which came about during the last Advisory Council meeting - we hope you like it! The major changes are that each month, right after the Council meeting, this will be sent out and will include two featured programs and a sum up of the meeting. Also, it will be signed by all of the Advisory Council members, not just Celestianpower. Have an Esperanzial end of March, everyone!

The last AC meeting (full log)
Future meetings are to be held monthly, not fortnightly as before. Bans and Access level changes (apart from autovoice) in the IRC channel are to be reported at the new log. In the IRC channel, there is going to be only one bot at a time. The charter requires members to have 150 edits and 2 weeks editing. Why this is the case will be clarified. A new Code of Conduct will be drafted by JoanneB and proposed to the Esperanza community. The NPA reform idea is to be dropped officially. Charter ammendments are to be discussed in future, not voted on. The Advisory Council is not going to be proposed to be expanded by the Advisory Council themselves, if others want to propose it, they will listen.
Signed...
Celestianpower, JoanneB, Titoxd, KnowledgeOfSelf and FireFox 17:47, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #2

Barnstar Brigade
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."
Stress Alerts
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!

The last AC meeting (full log)
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. 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. 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] 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. --Cel es tianpower ^háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

Administrator Coaching
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!

The last AC meeting (full log)
Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect. 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. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon.

[edit] A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

[edit] Psychology Wiki

The Logo for the Psychology Wiki.

Hi Dunemaire,

I noticed that you are a clinical psychologist, and thought you might be interested in this project which I am involved in, The Psychology Wiki.

I won't say too much, as I'd like you to judge it for yourself, but you should find that it is different from Wikipedia, because approximately 90% of our contributors so far are professional psychologists, academics, or students and trainees.

Its hosted by a company called Wikia, which was founded by Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley. There are Google Ads on the site, but we dont make money from the project, they're just to pay for the bandwidth, storage and technical support that Wikia give us.

Have a look and see what you think

Mostly Zen 00:15, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

PS As you are in the Esperanza group, do you think you could have a look at the way our community is working at present? We're quite young, at only 6 months old, but I think things are going well at the moment. Tell us what you think :)

[edit] 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.

The last AC meeting (full log)
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! The In development section of the proposals page has been created. 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. 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. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign.

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.
