Instructions

If you notice that a Wikipedia user is showing signs of stress, taking a wikibreak, or considering leaving the project altogether, please add the user to the appropriate list below so that the Esperanza community can intervene with encouraging comments and suggestions. You are welcome to add your own username to any of the lists if you wish to receive support from the community. Or if someone else has added your user name to the list and you wish to be left alone, you may remove yourself from the list.

Each entry should remain on this page until the issue is resolved or for approximately one month. "Leaving Wikipedia" alerts that do not succeed in encouraging prominent users to stay with the project should be archived to the list of missing Wikipedians.

Stressbusters has some suggestions for actions you might take in response to these alerts.
