{{helpme}} Could someone please delete the Peanuts portal for me? You'll now why when you see it. Thanks!

I added a db-p2 speedy deletion tag to it. You might blank the page of everything except for the {{db-p2}} at the top, so the responding admin knows you're no longer working on it. Cheers, ➪HiDrNick! 19:42, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I can only write on weekdays that aren't in summer. Sorry about that one. And in case you were wondering, I don't really like my username, and I had never heard of the comedian "Steveo" when I chose it.

[edit] I'm sorry

I haven't been on Wikipedia as much lately. I am still interested in helping run the BD Committee. I should be on more often now. Mr. Turcottetalk 19:40, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

See? :-) lol! Mr. Turcottetalk 19:43, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Later then. Mr. Turcottetalk 19:46, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A late Birthday

Just thought I'd wish the BD Committee Founder a late birthday!


Hungry? Here's a little snack for you on your birthday, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee!!! Have a great day, Steveo2!

[edit] Enjoy your vacation!

I know that you will be leaving tomorrow, the 14th (I might not be online myself, gasp :-)), so enjoy your break/vacation/whatever you are doing!

P.S. Don't mean to be nitpicky, but reclaiming leadership is the 25th Amendment. The 26th gave 18-year-olds the right to vote :-)

See you around!

[edit] My RfA

Hello, Steveo2, and thank you for the supportive vote and very kind words on my recent RfA! With a final vote of 84/1/4, I have now been entrusted with the mop, bucket and keys. I will be slowly acclimating myself to my new tools over the next months, but welcome any and all feedback and suggestions on how I might be able to use them to help the project. Thanks again! - Kukini 13:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks Steveo!

 Dear Steveo2, thanks so much for your support during my recent successful request for adminship. I'm happy that I met your new higher standards! Let me know if you need any administrative support; just leave me a message on my talk page or send me an e-mail if it's urgent. Take care -- Samir धर्म 05:57, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi again

Hey, Steveo! I got bored, so I decied to talk to you again. I was kidding about that alter-ego thing, but sometimes I do log off to type bad things to people I don't like, or to voice opinions that aren't my own. Anyway, my computer i haveing problems running Wikipedia at home, so don't write back till tomorrow between 8 and 11 (I'm haveing a half day) or today between 11:03 and 11:45 (that's recess). Bye!--Wack'd About Wiki 14:45, 21 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] 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.

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] Your sig

Hi Steveo, the E in your sig is way too bright. WP:SIG states that your sig should be readable by colourblind people. Not that I'm colourblind, but the E may as well be white. There are darker shades of yellow. Ps, if you don't like your name, there is Wikipedia:Changing username.  Jorcoga  08:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Thank you, Steveo2, for changing your mind on my most recent RFA, which passed 95 to 1. Now that I have the mop, I hope I can live up to the standard, and be a good administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. —this is messedrocker (talk) 21:37, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[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.
  1. The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  2. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage.
  3. 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!
  4. The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it!
  5. TangoTango has written a script for a bot that will list new members of Esperanza, which will help those who welcome new Esperanzains greatly!

[edit] Nielsen Ratings

Hi Steveo,

I've reverted this edit, where you have added Nielsen Ratings data for the 1949-1950 season. I have never seen this information; where does it come from? Do you have a reference? And, as this is the official list, I'm not sure a "generally accepted" figure should be included. Best wishes, Firsfron of Ronchester 19:00, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

My source for the 1949-1950 show was (I'm slightly embarassed to admit) Uncle John's Giant 10th Anniversary Bathroom Reader. Of course, a book with "bathroom" in the title may not always be trusted, and I agree that this fact is out of place in an article about the Nielsen Ratings. Steveo2 11:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your note, Steveo. You know, even a book of trivia like that can be a valid source. One problem I see is that it doesn't appear to be an official number, just a number that is generally regarded correct. Strangely enough, in my research, I've come across data for 1948: "The Original Amateur Hour", DuMont, according to this site. Of course, this also can't be listed on the Nielsen Ratings page, as it's a Hooper Ratings number (Hooper measured radio audiences from 1935-1950 and TV ratings frm 1948-1950 until being bought out by Nielsen in February of 1950). And I've also got a source which lists the Texaco Star Theater as the number one program during October of 1949 (Variety, listed in Total Television. Alex McNeil. Penguin Books 4th edition) Maybe we could start a page for Early TV ratings? What do you think? Best, Firsfron of Ronchester 17:47, 27 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.

  • Hey. I asked because on the Bulletin Board for the Committee, it said you where giving tempoary power to Mr.Turcotte. I did not know if you were the leader, if he was the leader, or as you said, no one is technically the leader.

I was also wondering, is there a line of succession, or do you appoint the leader.
