[edit] September Esperanza Newsletter
|
|
| 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! |

[edit] November Esperanza Newsletter

|
| 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.

[edit] Reply Requested
Please reply to my request for clarification on Wikipedia:Images_and_media_for_deletion/2006_November_6#Image:Semen2.jpg_.28talk_.7C_delete.29. I respectfully decline to accept your KEEP without a substantial rationale. The image you are supporting is IMHO an obvious vanity image and meant as a disruptive joke. Thanks.

[edit] Speedy deletion request on image
You submitted Image:Ms Rosanne Marseille 24Juille06.jpg for speedy deletion, stating that it was unencyclopedic and had no concievable [sic] use. I'm curious to what your rationale is, as it is an image in the public domain and is currently used on Navel quite effectively as an illustration of the topic.

[edit] Reverting edits on Meg Cabot
Why did you feel the need to revert my edits on Meg Cabot? 137.238.123.135 22:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- I don't see how the word "barn" is an insult. She actually has bought and moved into a barn. It's on her website. I'll cite it if I need to. 137.238.123.135 17:36, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Survey Invitation
Hi there, I am a research student from the National University of Singapore and I wish to invite you to do an online survey about Wikipedia.

Thank you. --WikiInquirer 17:41, 4 March 2007 (UTC)talk to me

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

Hi there, I see you have used the WP:24 shortcut to this essay [1], yet it hasn't been edited in some time. I feel WP:24 would be better used to the 24 Wikiproject, of which I'm the co-ordinator. For the time being, I've renamed the link to WP:COMMAND, if you feel this is an issue, please contact me, and I'll chat with you about it. Cheers, Steve Crossin (talk) (anon talk) 22:10, 14 April 2008 (UTC).
