==Welcome to Esperanza==
[[Image:Esperanza-short.PNG|right]]
Welcome, {{PAGENAME}}, to [[Wikipedia:Esperanza|Esperanza]], the [[Wikipedia]] member association! As you might know, all the [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members|Esperanzians]] share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Charter|Charter]], the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Programs|programs]]. A quite important program is the [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/StressUnit|StressUnit]], which seeks to support [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Alerts|editors who have encountered any stress]] from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We have a [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Calendar|calendar]] of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Possibles|Esperanza/Possibles]].

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, [[User:Celestianpower|Celestianpower]], and guided by the Advisory Committee, [[User:JoanneB|JoanneB]], [[User:Titoxd|Titoxd]] and [[User:FireFox|FireFox]]. The April elections have [[WP:ESP/EL|begun]].

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me via [[Special:Emailuser/Master of Puppets|email]] or [[User talk:Master of Puppets|talk page]]. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, [irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-esperanza #wikipedia-esperanza] (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be! </div>

== [[Hollywood Undead]] deletion ==

Well, it seems that someone remade the [[Hollywood Undead]] page. It seems just as awful as it was last time. I wanted to put it up for deletion, but because there is a previous nomination, I can't figure out how to tag it. I've tagged it with {{[[Template:Prod|prod]]}} for the time being, but perhaps you could take a look? Hopefully you might know how to do this...thanks [[User:Deleuze|Deleuze]] 11:25, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
:Eh, figures. Well, the {{tl|prod}} seems about right. I've modified it to acknoledge the previous deletion. In case you ever need it, {{tl|afdx}} is the template to use for multiple deletions. Put something like <nowiki>{{subst:adfx|2nd}}</nowiki>. Thanks and happy editing!!! - <strong><font color="#0033cc">[[User:CorbinSimpson|Corbin]]</font> <font color="red">[[WP:WPM|∫]]</font> <font color="orange">[[WP:8W|1]]</font> <font color="gold">[[WP:MEA|ɱ]]</font> <font color="lime">[[WP:ESP|p]]</font> <font color="blue">[[WP:SPATRA|s]]</font> <font color="indigo">[[Special:Contributions/CorbinSimpson|ɔ]]</font> <font color="violet">[[WP:WPMU|♫]]</font></strong> <sup>[[User talk:CorbinSimpson|Rock on, dude!]]</sup> 23:43, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have '''feedback''' on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on [[User_talk:SuggestBot|SuggestBot's talk page]]. Thanks from [[User:ForteTuba|ForteTuba]], SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on [[User:SuggestBot/Requests|the SuggestBot request page]]. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]] 13:28, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

== Old Skool Esperanzial note ==

Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that [[WP:ESP/EL|the elections]] are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on [[2006-04-29]]. Please vote [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/April 2006 elections/vote|here]].

== Hey Corbin ==

Howdy. A couple things. First off, there is no policy that says you must
contribute a certain amount to any namespace. It might affect any RfA you make, but not your membership status. So, don't sweat it. Be civil, and others will be civil to you. Secondly, I noticed you have a decently large talk page. Would you like help archiving it? Thirdly, on behalf of decent Wikipedians (and believe me, there aren't a lot of them left) and Esperanza, have a *hug*. Wikipedia can be a cruel and mean place sometimes. Talk to me if you ever need help. <strong><font color="#0033cc">[[User:CorbinSimpson|Corbin]]</font> <font color="red">[[WP:WPM|∫]]</font> <font color="orange">[[WP:8W|1]]</font> <font color="gold">[[WP:MEA|ɱ]]</font> <font color="lime">[[WP:ESP|p]]</font> <font color="blue">[[WP:SPATRA|s]]</font> <font color="indigo">[[Special:Contributions/CorbinSimpson|ɔ]]</font> <font color="violet">[[WP:WPMU|♫]]</font></strong> <sup>[[User talk:CorbinSimpson|Rock on, dude!]]</sup>
:'''And a million hugs for you, retrievable when ever you need one or all together at once! Thanks for your kind and much-needed comments on my page. I can't tell you how appreciated they are. I may take you up on your offer for help in other ways. I think I can see how to make an archive page, but thank you for your offer of help. lots of peace''' ''Maggie''[[User:Thewolfstar|thewolfstar]] 18:35, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

== Kana sync ==

Far be it from me to push work on someone, but... do you have any plans to synchronize interwikis on the new kana articles with [[:ja:Category:仮名]] or to use the images at [[commons:Hiragana]] or [[commons:Katakana]]? I'd volunteer myself, but I'd probably be less efficient. Cheers, [[User:Melchoir|Melchoir]] 03:27, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
:You noticed my explosive generation of kana stubs? Um, ya, the essence of it is that I noticed that someone had left a giant table of redlinks, and instructions for how to fill them out, but never got around to it. Sure, I'll fill out each of the articles. If nothing else, it's worth about 300 Main namespace edits. Thanks for informing me of the images on Commons &mdash; I didn't know about those! I'll also do interwiki links where possible. Thanks! - <strong><font color="#0033cc">[[User:CorbinSimpson|Corbin]]</font> <font color="red">[[WP:WPM|∫]]</font> <font color="orange">[[WP:8W|1]]</font> <font color="gold">[[WP:MEA|ɱ]]</font> <font color="lime">[[WP:ESP|p]]</font> <font color="blue">[[WP:SPATRA|s]]</font> <font color="indigo">[[Special:Contributions/CorbinSimpson|ɔ]]</font> <font color="violet">[[WP:WPMU|♫]]</font></strong> <sup>[[User talk:CorbinSimpson|Rock on, dude!]]</sup> 03:34, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

::XD, thanks again for showing me those categories and the interwiki list. I've finished all non-borrowed kana in the [[gojuon]]. I'm pruning away bad interwiki links, and then my next task will likely be to see about getting the stroke orders for the various kana transwikied to English and incorporated. Happy editing! - <strong><font color="#0033cc">[[User:CorbinSimpson|Corbin]]</font> <font color="red">[[WP:WPM|∫]]</font> <font color="orange">[[WP:8W|1]]</font> <font color="gold">[[WP:MEA|ɱ]]</font> <font color="lime">[[WP:ESP|p]]</font> <font color="blue">[[WP:SPATRA|s]]</font> <font color="indigo">[[Special:Contributions/CorbinSimpson|ɔ]]</font> <font color="violet">[[WP:WPMU|♫]]</font></strong> <sup>[[User talk:CorbinSimpson|Rock on, dude!]]</sup> 03:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

==CorbinSimpson==
<font size=3>Corbin I am a friend of thewolfstar. She wants me to thank you from the bottom of her heart for helping her and speaking up at the ani on her, you are the only one who did. Please go to [[User:Merecat|Merecat]]'s page. He is blocked indefinitely too, for the same lame lack of evidence and for reasons that run deep. Wikipedia is being run by a 'not so secret cabal'. Many of it's politics editors are walking automatons. Calls of "'''Big Brother Big Brother Big Brother'''" can be heard everywhere". People are being gotten rid of left and right. Mostly right as the liberals and socialists are calling the biggest shots. Know that the throng only looks extreme left..the Nazi right are so behind it too. See the [[anti-communist|anti-communist article]]. Holy Mackeral. Anyhow, take care my dear Corbin.

== [[Archbishop Temple School]] ==

Why does [[Archbishop Temple School]] require cleanup? --[[User:Jawr256|Jawr256]] 10:15, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
:Yo. I probably should have been more specific. The voice of the article could be a bit more formal. Right now it's worded loosely and reads like a personal web page or the school's website. It's not in dire need of cleanup, but it isn't likely to improve and become Good or Featured at this point. So, feel free to take off the tag &mdash; the cleanup backlog can always be smaller! - <strong><font color="#0033cc">[[User:CorbinSimpson|Corbin]]</font> <font color="red">[[WP:WPM|∫]]</font> <font color="orange">[[WP:8W|1]]</font> <font color="gold">[[WP:MEA|ɱ]]</font> <font color="lime">[[WP:ESP|p]]</font> <font color="blue">[[WP:SPATRA|s]]</font> <font color="indigo">[[Special:Contributions/CorbinSimpson|ɔ]]</font> <font color="violet">[[WP:WPMU|♫]]</font></strong> <sup>[[User talk:CorbinSimpson|Rock on, dude!]]</sup> 14:31, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

== [[My Way (song) Analysis]] ==

This is a friendly reminder to be sure, when proposing an article for deletion using {{tl|prod}} to include a reason in the tag, by adding <nowiki>{{prod|[REASON]}}</nowiki>. Also, please make sure the reason you give is explicit about your concern regarding the article. Thanks!

== Your signature ==

Could you please tone down your signature in accordance with the guidelines laid out at [[WP:SIG]]. Your signature is simply too long (especially in Wiki code!) and tends to overwhelm comments when trying to respond in edit mode. Also, you seem to have a lot of unnecessary links in your sig. It really should only contain essential links, such as your user page (which allows a means to contact you). Advertising various other thoughts, pages, and beliefs is frowned upon. Thank you for understanding, [[User:Cyde|<span style="cursor: w-resize; color:#0055aa">'''Cyde&nbsp;Weys'''</span>]] 04:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
:This will be a bit messy. I obviously constructed my signature to be useful to me as well as unique and in touch with me as a person. On the other hand, it is, to my knowledge, the biggest signature on all of Wikipedia in terms of wikicode. So, I wanted to ask for your input. Below are a handful of ideas that I cooked up, ordered from most to least disruptive. I'd like to know at what point my sig becomes sane again.

* I agree with all of the above. You're a good Wikipedian, but I would prefer someone with more experience as an Admin. (Many administrators have been here more far more than a year)
* I will suggest a few things however. Get involved in a lot of Wikipedia projects. Your involvement will increase drastically, I'm sure. [[User:Colonel Marksman|Colonel Marksman]] 16:45, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

== WikiProject query ==

Hi, just wanted to run something by you as I noticed you are a somewhat frequent editor of the Edward Van Halen article. Do you think there would be any interest or need for creating a WikiProject Guitarists? I imagine something focused on cataloging all notable guitarists with their own articles, including things like:
* Equipment used
* Techniques and innovations noted
* Tunings used
* Roles in various musical groups
* Endorsements
What do you think? <font color="3300FF">[[User:Aguerriero|Aguerriero]] ([[User_talk:Aguerriero|talk]])</font> 14:21, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

: While I am still working on a first "draft" of the project styles and criteria to open for discussion, would you mind signing your name to the project's proposal listing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject/List_of_proposed_projects#Guitarists here]? Thanks! <font color="3300FF">[[User:Aguerriero|Aguerriero]] ([[User_talk:Aguerriero|talk]])</font> 15:06, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

== Hi there ==
Just stopped by to thank you for commenting on what I left on Jimbo's talk page. Please leave a comment on my talk page any time, or even on my user page and feel free to say anything you want. I may or may not get offended, but if I do, feel that this is my problem. Also, please don't worry about some of the strange images on my user page. I just have a unique way of saying stuff. I like starcraft, too, but suck at it cause I never played it a lot. Thanks again. [[User:Metrocat|Metrocat]] 23:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

== GA Request ==

Hey, I wondered if you could review an article for me? I don't exactly agree with the decision of the reviewer, he picked out NPOV even though I had taken it from the source (you'll see if you read it). He also criticized three section headers which tried to clarify confusing subjects. Would you mind re-reviewing it? The article is [[Combusken]], thanks ahead. Cheers, [[User:HighwayCello|H]]<font color="#009933">[[User:HighwayCello/Esperanza|ig]]</font>[[User:HighwayCello|hway]] <sup>[[User talk:HighwayCello|Rainbow Sneakers]]</sup> 07:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I couldn't quite understand your explanation of "transcluding". Could you make it more clear? Also, I took the text out of the "ceiling cat" image--it's pretty redundant. The new image is [[Image:Ceiling cat no text.gif|300 px]]

RE:History moves

Hmm. I'm not at all experienced in this realm, but seeing that when you move a page using the move command, the history isn't copied over; I'm guessing you don't need to in this case. However, I may be wrong. Cheers, Master of Puppets Giant Enemy Crab! 06:48, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

To Thine Own Self Be True

Beware of hugging certain persons. All it does is make them more arrogant and hostile. And why don't you write me back? I apologized to you. You never apologized to me. Please don't tell me you have joined the enemy, Corbin. You are way too awesome a dude to something as terrible as that. remember me I'm not dead.

One cannot fight a battle on multiple fronts. I have a job now, and I'm attempting to get into university. I regretfully do not have the spare time I would like, which is too bad considering that there is a fight which must someday be fought. More importantly, I have not forgotten. Fret not, for there will be judgement. Remember that I am not a savior or holy warrior — I can be banned just like anyone else. I apologize for not being able to express myself as I would like.

Yo. I'm more or less on a break from life right now, but I noticed your edit and wanted to thank you. That page is not very finished, clearly, and will take a long time to get right. For now, the page is unfinished, and is not likely to be finished soon. I'm working on a bit of a side project with Wiki, though, and will be adding it to my signature when finished.

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.

Grammar issue

I noticed that you listed yourself as a grammar nazi. I actually have a grammar issue that I thought you might be willing to help with. It is regarding whether or not dances (like waltz, tango, swing, ballet, etc.) should be capitalized. There is currently a discussion about it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dance and Talk:Lindy Hop. We would certainly appreciate your input. Thanks! —Cswrye 14:10, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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!

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 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.
