Welcome!
Hello, Energie, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! ςפקιДИτς 00:35, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
Well, I'm done. Check it out and see how it looks. ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 22:11, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
If you're going to sign a comment you forgot to sign before, do it the right way! Don't just put four tildes on both of the and be satisfied! It looks like you made the two comments on muy talk page at the same time! Grrr... (You know me. I don't mean all those exclamation marks. They just look good.) ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 23:16, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
I know you like to put extra drama into stuff. And are you really as stressed as that chart shows?
No, actually more so. ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 23:22, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
You're not editing at your home, are you? ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 23:24, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
You wouldn't be because the phone keeps ringing and nobody answers. ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 00:20, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Article size
See my reply. ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 06:58, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
As per http://tools.wikimedia.de/~tim/counter/?page=Age%20of%20Mythology, you have by far the most edits to Age of Mythology, other than anonymous editors. ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 23:44, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Destroyer
I think that stuff would be better in the main article. ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 05:43, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Template
You should add this template to AoM's talk page:
[edit] ArbCom
Unfortunately, you can't vote. You haven't been a user long enough. Wait till next year! ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 03:58, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Ha ha. I see you're copying off my Babel. ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 03:09, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] User boxen
Hi. Template:User wishful has been nominated for speedy deletion under the new criterion. I've removed the speedy deletion tag in an attempt to slow the pace of things, but if you could remove it from your user page as a show of good faith that would be great. Thanks,

If you didn't know (and knowing you, you probably didn't), the main page is getting a redesign. There is one main issue at the present—whether there should be a second search bar or not. The second search bar would only be on the main page. You can vote on this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Usability/Main Page/Draft/Search box poll. Right now, the voting is tied 69-69. I voted no, but you should look at both sides of the argument before you vote. As you can see, every vote counts, even though yes needs 70% of the vote, which they are about 28 votes short of right now. Remember, every vote counts! ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 00:53, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Support a commemorative plaque
We have reached our 100,000,000th article at Jordanhill railway station! Help make this landmark achievemnt be commemorated forever with a commemorative plaque! ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 00:20, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] August Esperanza Newsletter
|
|
| 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. |

|
|
- 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.

There's a discussion going on at this page. I think you should take a look at it. ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 01:02, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kastor_(Age of Mythology)
I believe he deserves a seperate article of his own. He is as big Arkantos in the expansion. So if the latter has his own article the so should Kastor. Hope to hear from you soon. Unitedroad 09:05, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
So could we work together on it? I could start off from where you left the old article but I am always very lazy. And as always few people working together would work well don't you think? Unitedroad 04:07, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Mate I am sorry I did not reply back earlier. I need a few more days to come up with a basic plan of how we could go about the article. Hope that's ok with you. Unitedroad 04:41, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] September Esperanza Newsletter

| Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. 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 unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors! |

[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?
|

[edit] RadicalPlay
RadicalPlay has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this website might not yet be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:Notability (websites) for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.
If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that it meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for consensus.
