[edit] Thanks

Thanks for letting me know about the first Adelaide Wikipedia meet-up, unfortunately I can't go. I'll try and get there next time it comes around. Taylor 09:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chiricheppu‎

Hi, Do you think we should put a block on the sockpuppets active on this and related articles? Dlyons493 Talk 15:19, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes it seems to have ended up pretty minor so no need to do anything - I'll try not to feel too intimidated by the legal threats from lawyesr and that my talk page will be edited mercilessly :-) It's a pity that its circulation claims are unverifiable - if they were the article would be keepable. Dlyons493 Talk

[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.
  1. 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!
  2. The In development section of the proposals page has been created.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
  6. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign.
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] Sorry

Bah, I'm sorry, had a bunch of things land on my desk this morning, and I couldn't get to it. I should be able to tomorrow morning by say 16:00 UTC. - Taxman Talk 14:55, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Thank You and Sorry

I apologize, my internet connection at home has been dodgy lately -- I did not mean to leave so abruptly, nor be so rude to you -- over the past few months, Wikipedia has made me feel small and powerless, and i've found that people in general who feel like that act in two ways if that feeling can't change.

  1. They become victims and live in fear
  2. They lash out, often at those who don't deserve it.

I was #2, and I apologize if I lumped you in with unsavory characters -- like I said, the only reason why I do not vandalize is because I gave my word to Anirudh -- that word is far more important to me that Wikipedia is, and i'd be honored to include you into that promise as well.

Karmafist 15:58, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

P.S- Let me know if I can help bring Firefox back, he was a good guy too.

[edit] P.P.S

Thank you for sticking up for Carmen Chamelion as well, I was amazed by that this morning. He just seems to be another victim of Wikipedia. Karmafist 16:06, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I am a good guy, regardless what happens on Wikipedia. I'll always try to listen, even if we disagree. I have an idea to help Carmen Chamelion out, i'll explain more later. Karmafist 17:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FD/DP/FR FAC

Hi Shreshth - I'm sorry for not fulfilling my previous commitment - I have been busy enough to be unable to complete many FA plans until now. It was great that you obtained external reviews - I will copyedit the article now. I expect that the article will be fully and finally ready for FAC by Sunday. Please check my work when you can and judge when you wish to start the FAC. Also, I suggest you try to think of a different title for the article - in the last FAC, Tony had complained about it. I suggest something like "Indian constitutional rights and duties." Rama's arrow 13:01, 25 August 2006 (UTC)


The Amendments section is unnecessary. You already discuss "right to property" and the other amendments in the main sections, so what is the need for a separate section which only (1) repeats info and (2) adds to the length? The note about how a constitutional amendment is enacted can be easily inserted in the first two sections. If you want to stress that changes have occured, you are already doing so in the preceeding sections. I'm proceeding to remove that section, but obviously feel free to revert and debate. Rama's arrow 14:51, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award

Hi there Shreshth. You nomed Cyde at the number 15 spot, but I've removed him, as he was already nomed. Which, unforntunatly, means that we still have a space to fill :( Thε Halo Θ 15:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:FAC

Hi Shreshth - I'm a bit edgy about FAC as yet - I think its necessary for Sundar to give a green light on this. I hope you don't mind waiting for a couple of days more. Rama's arrow 12:15, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FR/DP/FD

Hi Shreshth. There were a lot of things that needed fixing in the first few sections and you'd seen my copyediting. The issues were primarily that of grammar and use of Commonwealth English. I haven't yet read the remaining sections. Will tell you by tonight. A green signal from me is just not enough, the article might not meet Tony's rigorous prose requirements which are clearly justified. Let me give a complete reading and tell you. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 06:22, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry Shreshthbhai, I believe we're very close to the second FAC. We've cleaned up the article by and large - if you note, the size has dropped by 11kb. I've been attacking redundancies and poor grammar based on Tony's previous objections. Once Sundar gives his feedback, you have my full support to start the FAC whenever you want. I will help you monitor it and address any issues. Rama's arrow 15:06, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
I don't know if I sounded hopeless. :) All I wanted was a round of copyediting. You have my vote now after the latest round of copyediting by Nirav. Let this article grace the main page someday. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 16:27, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Btw, I hope that in my copyediting I haven't inadvertantly removed valuable info - except that which was repetitive. Please have a look. Rama's arrow 15:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
