Concordia Newsletter

Community Justice is no more. It has been reformed to Concordia. Membership has been transferred.

Concordia is an organization of editors on Wikipedia that strive to encourage civility and fair treatment among all editors in the Wikipedian community, from the Wikignome to the Wikiholic. The project was designed to have a friendly and helpful environment to support any unfortunate Wikipedians that have become victims of incivility, hostility, or continual disrespect.

We currently need help in getting going, and making the community understand our aims. We work for civility. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you have ideas, let us know at our talk page, or on the IRC channel. We aim to spread civility in every way we can.

Should you wish to unsubscribe to future newsletters, please add your name to Wikipedia:Concordia/Do Not Spam.

Thank you for your time. If you need anything, feel free to comment at WT:CCD or come into our IRC channel [1].

[edit] protection of {{deletedpage}}s

Context: [2]

I believe it should be full protection, not just semi-protection, for {{deletedpage}}s. ;-) Kimchi.sg 20:02, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Hm...I guess I'll go change it then :P — Ilyanep (Talk) 20:03, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Admin coaching

Hi Ilyanep, I noticed you are assigned to Youremyjuliet as a coach, but it is still listed as pending. Could you please move it to active if/when it is, and let me know when you if/when you are ready to take on a new trainee (just to keep this thing moving, and try and make a dent in the backlog!). Thanks, Petros471 21:00, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, I was supposed to be here to answer any questions, but it appears there were none directed to me, so I don't know what to do :\ — Ilyanep (Talk) 00:09, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I was just coming back here as part of my latest update on WP:ESP/AC. Youremyjuliet doesn't look very active at the moment, so shall I asign you a new trainee? Petros471 11:02, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Sure. I won't be able to do anything till Monday though. — Ilyanep (Talk) 13:59, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

That's ok, Monday is hardly ages away :) I've assigned you Rama's Arrow. Your fellow coach is Blnguyen. Let me know if you have any questions. Petros471 16:33, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IMSA

Hey...I was looking up some stuff for Wiki for work and ended up looking at the IMSA page cause I was bored. Then, I saw someone's name who looked mildly russian, so I clicked on you. I think... and correct me if I'm wrong on this... that you are the kid that Schmidty (Kevin Schmidt) mentioned as being a student of his mom. I'm one of his friends, and I was kinda intrigued by the fact that you are russian, cause I'm russian too. Where are you originally from? Anyway, I figured I'd shoot you an email and see if you had any questions about IMSA and all that, seeing as how i went through all of that last year. I'm gonna be a Jr. next year (in case you haven't figured it out yet). I don't know if it's different for guys but I know my mom was all panicked about leaving me at an "internatnaya shkola", so I wanted to know if you wanted any information that would make your parents less uneasy. Anyway, seeing your profile, it seems that you'll fit in fine at IMSA. Being all geekishly profficiant in l33t and all. jk ;) Don't spend too much time online once you get to IMSA though. It is sometimes nice to actually go out and make really friends. lol. BTW, I think that you might actually get irn in the beginning of school, because I know that most of our class got it pretty early in Oct. because the teachers complained that we need the internet for hw; and I think that your class might get it even earlier. So you guys can start all of that homework even earlier. lol. Feel free to drop me an email at dana_virgo@yahoo.com; if u have any questions or just want to know something about IMSA <3Dani

[edit] DYK?

Hello, this is your "Bureucratting day". Really great to learn that and I wish you all the best. --Bhadani 14:12, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

That's cool. Thanks for reminding me :) I think I have to go do something bureaucratly today. — Ilyanep (Talk) 15:38, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

So you are the Boss now! --Bhadani 15:40, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[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.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower ^háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mac

It is I, my talk page has gotten longer and I wanted to know what the "proper" length should be before I start archiving. — The Mac Davis] ⌇☢ ญƛ. 21:10, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey there. Many users really set their own standards. For example, I used to do mine whenever the scrollbar got to be about a centimeter on the screen, now I do it at 50. Others rarely do it at all. I'd just choose a good number that you're comfortable with. — Ilyanep (Talk) 22:11, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Dear Ilyanep,

Thanks for the helpful hand.

It is true I just barged into Wikipedia, BUT for good reason.

I did not want another day to go without the world knowing about the incredible Gillian Lynne.

Mea culpa - I have not learnt all the rules and will do when a moment occurs, but thank you again for pointing the way.

[edit] Orangey

Hi thanks a lot for your friendly welcoming message. You didn't know what you were getting into when you kindly offered advice. i am trying to learn how to do this and though I am looking at instructions and policies and trying to be careful, and always hit "Show preview". Yet already I have already screwed something up and I am afraid people will be angry at me.

I was trying to change the name of an article from Orangy to Orangey which is the correct spelling. But apparently someone had previously changed it from the correct spelling to the incorrect one, so it was already redirected from "Orangey" and I couldn't change it back.

Then I thought I would make it be "Orangey (Cat)" --adding the word "Cat", with first letter capitalized, as in Library of Congress format for specific animals, for example "Rin Tin Tin (Dog)" (OKay I know Wickipedia has its own standards not always identical to LC practice, for creating terms and authorized versions of names. But I still couldn't figure out how to make it just plain "Orangey" either since someone else had gone and changed it from that before.)

OK, here is where I really messed up--having gone to look up some instructions, I went and hit Move before I was back at Orangy, and thus moved the wrong page to "Orangey (Cat)"!! And it was Wickipedia Quick Guide!! Oh no! I realised immediately with great embarassment what I had done and immediately moved it back around...but found it was not so simple as that. Now, because of that little slip of a mouse, a page called "Orangey (Cat)" now existed (as totally useless page with no history, and is redirected to the Quick Guide) which meant now I could not move "Orangy" to "Orangey (Cat)" either.

I read about requesting moves and requesting deletes and double redirects, and all the steps and code seemed so complicated that I am afraid I gave up for then and made it "Orangey (cat)" with small "c". So it is (probably) not conforming to Wickipedia, not conforming to LC, but--well at least it is finally spelled correctly.

By that point I was wondering what ever possessed me to change it in the first place! All this fuss about a little cat! But at least this could be worse, if I should have done it with a very important and popular article.

Then I found the text of the article was plagiarized so I rewrote the article. So hopefully I contributed something besides havoc and chaos. When I saw someone left me a message I was afraid, I thought they might be yelling at me. But you were very nice. I really am very sorry! What would be the best way out of the mess with the titles? --Wichienmaat

[edit] Sorry and thanks

Sorry for the problem with the welcome template. I hope you don't mind if I use it. I am fixed the problem and I appreciate you bringing that to my attention. —Kf4bdy ^{talk contribs}

Hi Ilyanep, thank you so much for your help fixing Orangey, especially since it turned out you were even more of an innocent bystander than was K4bdy. I'm sorry I sent you my long and confused lament out of the blue. I'm not sure how I did it--I really am reading instructions, I promise. Who would think that I actually catalogue things for a living!? --Wichienmaat 05:58, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Commons-l subscription

Hello Ilyanep,

as per commons:Commons talk:Administrators, I am asking all admins to subscribe to commons-l, a mailing list for Wikimedia Commons policy and project discussion. Since many admins are only on Commons infrequently, this is a good way to alert people about important happenings. The mailing list is nominally multilingual, but predominantly English.

If you are already subscribed to commons-l, I apologize for bothering you, and you are free to ignore this message. If you don't want to use your regular e-mail account, feel free to leave me a message, and I can send you a GMail invite. Traffic on the mailing list is relatively low, and we do not expect admins to read all messages to the list, but it would be nice if you could check on it at least every few weeks. Thanks for your time,--Eloquence* 23:00, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

No problem -- I'm already subscribed to wikipedia-l, wikien-l and wikinews-l, so i probably won't notice another list since I make the messages skip my inbox anyways :) — Ilyanep (Talk) 14:49, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I'm your pupil!

Hi Ilyanep - I am needed blessed to have an opportunity to learn from you (admin coaching). Please let me know when its convenient for you, and we can work at User:Rama's Arrow/Coaching. This Fire Burns.....Always 16:45, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi - I'm sorry but I have to withdraw from admin coaching at this time. This Fire Burns.....Always 13:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

No problem. Hope you are able at a later time :) — Ilyanep (Talk) 15:00, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Ilyanep, am I right in thinking you are ok to take on a new trainee because of this? Petros471 10:59, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind, but I've assigned you to coach User:Master of Puppets. If you are not able to do this, no worries, we can assign someone else instead. Cheers, Petros471 22:16, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup Taskforce

The article Blondie (band) has been added to your desk. Please look at it and either accept or let me know and I'll reassign it. Thank you. RJFJR 04:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

user:Paul75 volunteered to work on an article about one of Blondie's albums so I listed both you and he on the page for Blondie band. I hope this doesn't cause confusion. Thank you. RJFJR 03:11, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Am I Blind!?

Hello! Maybe I am blind but again I can't find information in all these FAQs! My Q is about tags ... or maybe there is another word to describe that thing! OK - the story is about table in witch is showing a next and previous page! For example: now i am working with European Hit Radio Top 40 page! I want to create that thing -> When i am in ... Top 40 (2005) page i can see below in grey table an automatic link to next years Top 40 page and previous year Top 40 page!

I Check out another pages and there was a syntax or tag or ...... - whatever it calls, but it looks like this (of course without spaces) > { { some text here } }

[edit] Your username........

Is it russian? I imagine it's written Илянэп, unless there are some soft or hard signs I forgot.--The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 18:48, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes it's Russian, as my family speaks Russian. I was like three when we moved to the US, so I speak more or less well, but I have a small vocabulary and I read/write really slowly (and sometime incorrectly). That's more or less how it'd be written, except instead of э, I think it's е. — Ilyanep (Talk) 19:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh, it's just that I thought "e" translates to "ye" or "yo" most of the time, except for some less standardized styles. In any case, it looks really cool in cyrillic. I think my name would be Икыройд or Икиройд, depending on how you pronounce the second "i." Anyway, Russian is quite sophisticated, the language is much too intimidating for me to learn, but I still like to admire it from afar ;).--The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 00:23, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I really should pursue Russian more, since I already have a start in it :). It does have quite a sophisticated repository of literature; one I can barely read much less understand :P — Ilyanep (Talk) 00:36, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, take the fact that you have been born with two languages and run with it. I only wish I was so lucky. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 01:38, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I've become your new cause of stress admin coachee, and am ready for coaching; Fang Aili is the other. I set up a page that, while not very large, should help coordinate efforts. Thanks for undertaking me, and I'll talk to you in a bit!

[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. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, Freakofnurture, and Titoxd 05:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

[edit] September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade 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! What's New? September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves! Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there! The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself! The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it!

[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...

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

[edit] Image:TedDansonBecker.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TedDansonBecker.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:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. 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. Rossrs 13:22, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concordia

You are officially still a councilor. I am considering boosting the organization back up again, so could you please let me know if you would be active and prepared to assume this role. Thanks! Ian¹³/t 22:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concordia Newsletter

NEWSLETTER

Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly.

[edit] Help out now!

• Try and help people remain civil! Talk to them, and help them in any way possible. Do not be afraid to use the talk page.
• Give people the Civility Barnstar.
• Make and spread some Wikitokens so people know there are people to help if they want assistance.
• Add banners or logos to your userpage to show your support.
• Suggest some ideas! Add 'em to the talk page.

We are a community, so can only work though community contributions and support. It's the helping that counts.

[edit] Decision Making

The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported.

If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here.

[edit] CHICOTW

I see your user name listed as a member of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chicago. I do not know if you are aware that we are attempting to revive the CHICOTW. See our results history. We could use additional input in nominating future articles, voting on nominees and editing winning nominees. Should you contribute you will receive weekly notices like the following:

	Chicago Collaboration of the Week
Last week you voted for the Chicago COTW. Thank you! This week Rich Melman has been chosen. Please help improve it towards the quality level of a Wikipedia featured article. See the To Do List to suggest a change or to see an open tasks list.
