[edit] Welcome to Esperanza

Welcome, Hello2112, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact our administrator general Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

[edit] 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...

[edit] WP:ADOPT

Hi there,

As a user looking to Adopt with the Adopt-a-User program, there has been some ongoing developments that we would like to bring to your attention, as well as request help with the backlog at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user.

You should know that the way the adoption process works has changed slightly. To decrease workload at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user on offering adoption please change the {{Adoptme}} template to {{Adoptoffer}} on the user's user page, and this will add the user to Category:Wikipedians having been offered adoption. Users that have already been offered adoption can always have a second or third offer, but by separating out those users that have not had an adoption offer yet, it is hoped that no one will go lacking. Once adoption is complete please use the templates found here on the Adoptee's and your user page.

Also numerous Adopters have been adding their details to a list of users available for adopting, to offer a more personalised service and allow new users to browse through and pick their own Adopter. The quickest way to adopt though, is still to contact users at the Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user.

Furthermore a new Adopter's Area has been created where you can find useful resources and other Adopter's experiences. Please feel free to add any resources you have and if you know of any useful resources for new users / Adoptees then you can add them here.

So I hope you get adopting soon - and if you have any general questions or suggestions about the further development of Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User please bring them to our talk page. Cheers Lethaniol 15:19, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Hello. I have decided not to be adopted but would like to ask a question. How do you put a picture on an article? Thank you.Nightflower 21:36, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

You have to use a picture embedding code, like this:

[ [Image:Chester Bennington LP.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Bennington appears on the band's behalf at MTV Asia Aid] ] Just remove the spaces in between the brackets, and you have an image. Hello2112 18:39, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you! And a question...

Thank you very much for the kind offer of adoption! Could you check I'm on the right track with what I'm doing? I found the list of articles needing copyediting and found this one: Oktay Rifat. I cleaned up the first bit of it, and left a note on the talk page about something I wasn't sure of. Is this the kind of thing I should be doing? Copyediting's probably a good job for me coz I'm much better at words and grammar than at remembering the Wiki style rules I'd need to do anything more adventurous. Big thanks - QuietWikipedian 01:39, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Quite nice. It's good that you found something that you can help out with well. I myself just do general edits such as adding info, fixing incorrect info, adding images, updating images, etc. If you need anything else, just leave a note on my talk page, k? Hello2112 16:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Audioslave article

Hi there!

I am currently working on the improvement of the Audioslave article, now about halfway done, I'm opting to make it a featured article, but that is a lot of work. It isn't visible on the article yet, I haven't saved any changes, I want to save the whole thing once, when it's complete. I'm not from an English speaking country, I'm from Hungary, so I'm not really good in writing, expressing my thoughts in English, or not on that sophisticated level the feature article criteria requires, but I try to do my best. So the reason I'm writing to you is that if you'd like to help me in any way, e.g. finding sources, references, citations, any ideas on how to improve the article, maybe images, you're really welcome! Of course, if you like Audioslave as much as I do and would like to see it as a featured article. The best would be if you could help me with English, the grammar and stuff like that. So if you're interested I can send you the work I've done maybe in e-mail or some way, I don't think it would be good if I copied it to the talk page, it's pretty long and currently I'm just working on it in Microsoft Word. You can check it then and see if you have anything to add or help/correct. So anyways, if you're interested just say so.

Thank you very much in advance. Gocsa 17:38, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I really appreciate it, thank you again. I give you the lead section here as a starter, just tell me your opinion:
Audioslave was an alternative/hard rock supergroup that consisted of the former instrumentalists of Rage Against the Machine; Tom Morello (guitar), Tim Commerford (bass and backing vocals) and Brad Wilk (drums), together with Chris Cornell of Soundgarden as their lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist. The band formed in Los Angeles, California in 2001, shortly after the break-up of Rage Against the Machine. After releasing three highly successful albums, and selling more than 8 million records worldwide,[1][2] on February 15, 2007, Chris Cornell issued a statement that he was permanently leaving the band "due to irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences". The announcement came two weeks after Morello, Commerford and Wilk announced that they would be reuniting with their former vocalist Zack de la Rocha to reform Rage Against the Machine.[3] As the the three of them were now busy with the reunion tours and Morello and Cornell both released solo albums in 2007, Audioslave was officially disbanded after the departure of the lead singer.[4]
Although during the early stages of their career the band was often described as an amalgamation of two bands, Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden,[5] or Rage Against the Machine's fractured parts fronted by a different vocalist, Soundgarden's Chris Cornell,[6][7] by the time of the release of the second album, Out of Exile, most critics agreed that Audioslave was more than just the sum of its parts[8][9] and members were getting closer to finding their identity as a cohesive band.[10][11][12]
Audioslave's trademark sound was created by blending '70s hard rock (their music was often compared to Led Zeppelin or Bad Company[13][14]) and '60s and '70s soul and R&B influences[15] with the ‘90s grunge sound of Nirvana and Soundgarden. [14] Moreover, Morello's well-known, experimental solos brought an inimitable, unique flavour into this mix.[16]
As with Rage Against the Machine, the band prided themselves on the fact that all sounds on their albums were produced using only guitar, bass, drums and vocals, no samples were ever used.[17]

[edit] Audioslave article body, first part

Here is the first part of the body, about the formation and naming of the band:

--History--

[edit] Formation (2000–2001)

Main articles: Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden

Audioslave's history dates back to October 18, 2000, when lead vocalist Zack de la Rocha announced he was leaving Rage Against the Machine which led to the band's break up. [1] The remaining three members of the band decided to stay together and announced plans to continue with a new vocalist.[2] Several vocalists jammed with the band at this time, including B-Real of Cypress Hill, but since they did not want another rapper or anybody who would even remotely sound like de la Rocha, they soon dropped the idea.[3] Music producer and friend, Rick Rubin persuaded the three of them to go into group therapy with performance coach Phil Towle (who famously worked with Metallica during the making of their album St. Anger) in these hard times.[4] He was also the one, who later suggested that they jam with Chris Cornell, the ex-frontman of Soundgarden.[5] Rubin was confident that with the right new voice up front Rage Against the Machine had the potential to become something very special. He was quoted in a January, 2001 Rolling Stone article as saying "it could turn into a Yardbirds-into-Led Zeppelin scenario." He also referred to Tom Morello as "the Jimmy Page of today."[6] Bassist Tim Commerford later credited Rick Rubin for being the catalyst that brought Audioslave together, he called him "the angel at the crossroads because if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here today."[4]

The chemistry between Cornell and the three musicians became immediately apparent, as Morello described: "He stepped to the microphone and sang the song and I couldn't believe it. It didn't just sound good. It didn't sound great. It sounded transcendent. And ... when there is an irreplaceable chemistry from the first moment, you can't deny it."[3] The quartet wrote 21 songs during the 19 days of rehearsal,[4] with "Light My Way" being the first song they ever wrote, on the very first day of jamming together.[7] The newly formed band, yet to be named, began working in the studio in late May, 2001 with producer, Rick Rubin, while still sorting out the label and management issues.[8]

[edit] Name

The original idea was allegedly to call the band "Civilian", but it was dropped when members found out that it was already taken.[9] Though Tim Commerford admitted this,[10] it was discredited by Morello in an interview saying it was only a rumour circulating at that time. He stated: "The band has only ever had one name and that is Audioslave."[11]

Tom Morello described the origin of the "Audioslave" name to LAUNCHcast as follows:

“ That was Chris's suggestion that sort of came to him in a vision. We're all on the two-way pagers, and Chris one night said, "I got it. It's Audioslave." We were all, like, "All right, fantastic."... To paraphrase Elvis Costello, talking about band names is like dancing about architecture--there's just no point in it because the band name becomes the music and the people.[12] ”

Morello added of the name, "I think it adds a kind of three-dimensional depth to the rest of the package."

The name also makes use of the compound word format used by Cornell's previous band, Soundgarden for their moniker.

After the name was announced, it emerged that it was already being used by an unsigned band from Liverpool. The two bands worked out a settlement, with the U.S. band paying $30,000 in a deal that allowed each band to use the name. Part of the agreement was that each band was to be true to its own identity when marketing and promoting recordings or concerts.[12]

The name was also heavily mocked due to its uninspired nature,[13] and was regarded by many as one of the worst band names in contemporary rock music,[14] or even of all time.[15] Pitchfork Media called it the "most asinine bandname of the year" in its review of the debut album,[16] while Chuck Klosterman from Spin went as far as calling it "one of the dumbest band names in recent rock history."[17]

[edit] Audioslave

Hi! Sorry I didn't write, I was on vacation. I've made a separate page for the article now, and I've put all the parts that are ready there, please tell me if you have any suggestions, what more to add, grammar mistakes etc. You can find it here. It is about 1/3, I will upload Audioslave pictures too soon and I'm working on the other 2/3 of the article right now. When it is finished, and I have consulted with you and some other people, I'll actually replace the current article, have it FA reviewed, copyedited etc. Thanks a lot.
