[edit] WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request

This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants. I recently left a proposed banner idea on the WikiProject Disambiguation talk page and I would appreciate any input you could provide. Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 22:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VandalSniper

Thanks for applying to use VandalSniper! You have been approved. If have not already done so, you may find instructions to install VS on the project page.

As some of the libraries VandalSniper runs on are currently in transition, there have been a few issues reported with setup. At the moment, Linux is the most compatible platform for VS. If you have questions or problems, you may find help on the project page or its talk page. Please also feel free to contact me for help and I will do my best to assist you.

Thanks for becoming a part of one of Wikipedia's best new software tools! -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 17:19, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template Banners

Please put talk page banners (such as {{ME-project}}) at the top of the pages. Thank you, Cbrown1023 19:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation error and more ME-project banners stuff

Hi there. I see that you are using AWB to fix disambiguation stuff, such as Gimli -> Gimli (Middle-earth). But if you look at this edit that you did, the author always intended the link to be to Gimli, and by changing it, you have invalidated what he was trying to say. Please could you revert this edit (go back to the version before your edit and save that), plus any other errors you find in your AWB edits. Thanks. I've also noticed you putting Template:ME-project on talk pages of pages which are just redirects. This is not that helpful, as someone else then has to either remove the template (what I've been doing), or class it as NA (not an article). It would be more helpful if you could put redirects into Category:Middle-earth redirects. Any questions, just drop by my talk page. Carcharoth 12:07, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I also noticed some of your edits, like this one, were correcting typos on talk pages. That's not really needed, and I personally think that typos should be left as they are and not corrected. If someone's writing is littered with typos, that is something important to be able to see. Carcharoth 12:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just stopping by...

Hey Kaobear, how's it going? I just stopped by to see how you were doing. Cheers! :) —Mirlen 03:22, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for you thoughts and of course, the cookie! It has been a weird few weeks and a few more are ahead, but after a bit I will be back editing I assure you. --Kaobear 17:59, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[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.

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.
