Hello

Just saw your page. Don't worry, I started out as a dabbler, and now I am extremely addicted to Wiki, so much so it has become my husband's favorite joke. If something comes up that we don't know the answer to, he just reminds me that since I am ALWAYS on Wiki, I can find the answer. Glad to have you here. Prsgoddess187 23:59, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

News from Esperanza

Hello, fellow Esperanzians! This is just a friendly reminder that elections for Administrator General and two advisory council positions have just begun. Voting will last until Friday, December 30, so make sure you exercise your right to vote! Also, I'm pleased to announce the creation of the Esperanza mailing list. I urge all members to join; see Wikipedia:Esperanza/Contact for more information. All you need to do is email me and I will activate your account. This will be a great way to relax, stay in touch, and hear important announcements. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?)

This message was delivered to all Esperanza members by our acting messenger, Redvers. If you do not wish to receive further messages, please list yourself at WP:ESP/S. Thanks.

An Esperanzial note

As I remember, the last spam that was handed out was on the 20th of December last year, so I think it's time for another update. First and foremost, the new Advisory Council and Administrator General have been elected. They consist of myself as Admin General and FireFox, Titoxd, Flcelloguy and Karmafist as the Advisory Council. We as a group met formally for the first time on the 31st of Decembe. The minutes of this meeting can be found at WP:ESP/ACM. The next one is planned for tonight (Sunday 29 January) at 20:30 UTC and the agenda can be found at WP:ESP/ACM2.

In other news, Karmafist has set up a discussion about a new personal attack policy, which it can be found here. Other new pages include an introductory page on what to do when you sign up, So you've joined Esperanza... and a welcome template: {{EA-welcome}} (courtesy of Bratsche). Some of our old hands may like to make sure they do everything on the list as well ;) Additionally, the userpage award program proposal has become official is operational: see Wikipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award to nominate a userpage or volunteer as a judge. Also see the proposed programs page for many new proposals and old ones that need more discussion ;)

Other than that, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you an Esperanzially good new WikiYear :D Thank you! --Celestianpower ^háblame 16:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Another Esperanzial note...

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

Table width

Hi, I have fixed the table width. You just need to insert width=XX% or width=YYpx in the right place. See table help. Anyways, you still need to provide references and find some solution for image copyrights for your list to be perfect :) Renata 01:20, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, fair use is generally allowed on WP, you just have to comply with very strict rules. And one of these rules are that you cannot use images claimed under fair use for decorations, i.e. where those images are not neccessary or where they provide little info. Like in this list - the images are here so that the list looks nice, all the important info is in the table. All other licenses (public domain, GFDL, etc.) are ok and you can use those images in whatever way you want. So in short, if you want to keep the images, you need to find "free" (i.e. that are in public domain, under GFDL, or CC licenses) alternatives. Hope this explains. Feel free to ask any questions. Renata 00:48, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

You cannot use WP as reference. You need some outside works (websites, books, articles, tv shows, etc etc) that agree with your facts you presented in the list. See WP:CITE. Also, the first two images are not ok since there is no explanation as to why they are in public domain. The user as well might have lied. It's quite tough to make a list/article featured, but don't give up! :) Renata 18:25, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Consort-less rulers

medieval women

Hi! Thanks for joining my wee project. I'm a little new to the "project" thing, and confess to having more of an idea that it should be done than a concrete sense of how it should be done. But that won't stop us! No sir. I think good progress has been made with getting articles added to the med. women category, so now we can move on to going through them and seeing which ones can be most easily and profitably improved. If you have a copy of the Encyclopedia of Medieval History (I do!), that, or a similar reference tome, might be a good place to start. You say you're into royalty, so maybe you could spruce up the ones about queens and consorts. I'd also like to make some kind of portal or other schematic browsing device, but I'm not sure exactly what it should look like...maybe we should check out the Medieval Warfare project folks and see if they have any advice for us! Anyway, I hope that gives you some idea of a starting point. We can figure it out as we go along... Oh! and look for recruits! Yeah! Welcome aboard! Cantara 20:19, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I'll help copyedit your list as soon as you add a few more citations to the introduction. In the meantime, would you do me the favor of a critique on my nomination Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc? Best wishes, Durova 16:55, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

We still need page references for the introduction. If you'll just write them out on my talk page and quote the line where they go, I'll put them in. Best wishes, Durova 22:57, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1

Reach out Reach out is a program aimed at allowing users to bring issues that they have had in Wikipedia to a listening, sympathetic and caring audience: "No one can know how we feel if we do not say. We cannot expect to get understanding if we do not ask for it. No one will dispute that sometimes life's issues are too much for one person. It is fair to say that sometimes Wikipedia's problems fall under the same heading. This is a place where you can bring the bruises that can sometimes be got on this project for attention." Stress Alerts The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them. Note from the editor Welcome to this new format of the Esperanza Newsletter, which came about during the last Advisory Council meeting - we hope you like it! The major changes are that each month, right after the Council meeting, this will be sent out and will include two featured programs and a sum up of the meeting. Also, it will be signed by all of the Advisory Council members, not just Celestianpower. Have an Esperanzial end of March, everyone!

The last AC meeting (full log) Future meetings are to be held monthly, not fortnightly as before. Bans and Access level changes (apart from autovoice) in the IRC channel are to be reported at the new log. In the IRC channel, there is going to be only one bot at a time. The charter requires members to have 150 edits and 2 weeks editing. Why this is the case will be clarified. A new Code of Conduct will be drafted by JoanneB and proposed to the Esperanza community. The NPA reform idea is to be dropped officially. Charter ammendments are to be discussed in future, not voted on. The Advisory Council is not going to be proposed to be expanded by the Advisory Council themselves, if others want to propose it, they will listen. Signed...

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #2

Barnstar Brigade The Barnstar Brigade is a new program aimed at giving more very deserving yet unappreciated users barnstars. It will officially start on 2006-04-09, but signing up is encouraged before this date: "Here in Wikipedia, there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go un-appreciated. 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 un-noticed. Sadly, these editors often leave the project. As Esperanzians, we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. A project the size of Wikipedia has thousands of editors, so there are plenty of people out there who deserve recognition, one just has to find them. The object of this program is not to flood editors with Barnstars, but to seek out people who deserve them, and make them feel appreciated." Stress Alerts The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them. Information Welcome to the second issue of the new format Esperanza Newsletter - we hope you still like it! This week, it was delivered diligently by our new dogsbody. MiszaBot (run by Misza13): any execution complaints should go to him. Content comments should be directed at the Esperanza talkpage. Thanks!

The last AC meeting (full log) The next elections: Approval voting as before and, also as before, an previous leadership member can run. Please submit your name for voting in the relevant section of this page. Voting starts on 2006-04-23 and ends on 2006-04-30. There will be three places up for grabs as KnowledgeOfSelf is leaving Wikipedia. Please see the previously linked page for full details. The Code of Conduct is now ready for extensive discussion! Specific comments should go to the Code of Conduct talk page, discussion of having one at all should be directed to the main Esperanza talk page. The current process for accepting proposals for new programs has been deemed fine. All Advisory Council members and the Admin Gen are to endevour to be bold when viewing discussion. If they feel that consensus has been reached, they will act accordingly. A plea from the editor... The propsed programs page is terribly underused! Please leave any comments, good or bad, on the page, to help us determine the membership's thoughts on the ideas there. Signed...

Under the guidelines to nominations I am required to notify others of knowledge in the area to review it. I have decided that the best group for this would be our WikiProject.

License tagging for Image:HHMagME.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:HHMagME.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 14:05, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

Administrator Coaching The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service. This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but 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. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. Stressbusters The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome! Note from the editor As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!

The last AC meeting (full log) Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon. Signed...

Violin image

Hi; I thought you might be interested to know that the base image you used for Violinconstruction.JPG was my wife's teaching fiddle for the past three or four years. Just recently she upgraded, and that one has been placed with one of her students, where we think it will have a good home. I've left some thoughts on the image's talk page; do with them what you will, as this fascinating world continues on its merry way. Cheers (is the Queen's English for teşekkur ederim,) __ Just plain Bill 14:20, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Fantastic job, and quickly done; brilliant! The nut is the little block of ebony that the strings ride over, coming out of the pegbox. The fingerboard doesn't go all the way to the bridge; the end of the board can be seen in the neighbourhood of the upper corners. For simplicity's sake, you might consider calling out the neck and fingerboard without the parentheses after. This image probably also deserves a place in Violin construction and mechanics. What you've done adds a lot; cheers! __ Just plain Bill 13:38, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

On reflection, the "(chin to root)" parenthesis adds a bit. Keep it, or not? I don't know. :-) _ Just plain Bill

Further reflection: you may want to give the pegbox a span-bracket thingy... OK, I'll give it a rest now, before it gets too fussed-over. _ JpB

Looks good to me. One minor nit: there's only one nut. Might want to just say "Fingerboard" there, since it doesn't reach to the bridge. ciao, __ Just plain Bill 03:32, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Fair Use Images

Hello, Sotakeit. Sorry, there are meant to be NO Fair Use images in user pages (I know, it sucks). Even the images you created/uploaded yourself need to be removed. Read WP:FU. I will let you remove it yourself, but if you don't be aware someone who is less courteous will. Weirdy 09:54, 19 June 2006 (UTC) Hello! Bye!

Thanks for the thanks. And, in case you were wondering, the image on my User Page is not a fair use image, just to let you know. Weirdy 06:37, 20 June 2006 (UTC).

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.

Dutch name

Thanks for moving the content to its own article, and for working at wikifying it.

One small thing I disagree with: I don't think nobility should link to Dutch nobility. The Dutch language is spoken in at least three different countries, two of which have their own nobility. The limited link is especially unfortunate since the example I gave was of a member of Belgian nobility.--82.92.181.129 11:43, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

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.

The last AC meeting (full log) 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! The In development section of the proposals page has been created. 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. 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. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign. Signed...

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!

Imperial Crypt Vaults graphic.

Great graphic! There are a few corrections needed, though:

• The B for the children's columbarium should be moved all the way to the right-hand wall. The kids' coffins are in flat-bottomed tubes cut into the thickness of the outside wall.

• Where you presently have the B should be another letter, representing Leopold's Vault.

• In Ferdinand's Vault, you do have two of the corner piers (that contain a lot of coffins) shown, but the other two corners should also show such piers too.

Thanks for adding this graphic... it does improve the article.

Review of Peribsen

hi. Thank you so much for reviewing! Just one lil' thing: the Seth animal is no "chimera", it is simply unknown, which animal it once was... No Egyptologist uses the term "chimera", they always write "Seth animal". Regards;--Nephiliskos (talk) 11:21, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, @Nephiliskos, I don't follow? Which point does this relate to? Very interesting article, however. I enjoyed reading it. In regards to content, and if the few niggles I had are fixed, I would definitely support. Sotakeit (talk) 11:41, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Russian saints

Thank you again for your comments. Do you think the prose in the tables is understandable and grammatically correct? Or does it need some copyediting? Regards. --Tomcat (7) 11:43, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Tomcat7 I've gone through and correct any grammar/language issues I can see - tried not to change any of the content especially. What do you think?

• I was unsure about what you meant by 'living behind the River Danube', 'grabbed himself shoulder-long' or ' after heavy head wound' ? None seem to make sense in English.
• 1) I removed that phrase as I am not able to describe it in English. In Russian there exist such wordings as "behind" and "ahead" a river. I think English speakers would use cardinal directions. 2) it means that he grabbed himself until his shoulders 3) changed to injury
• Nor do I know what 'drinking bout' refers to?
• it means addiction of drinking something
• Finally, when you use the phrase "known to the world" (as in Ephraim, known to the world Eustathius), do you mean "better known as"? If so, then I would have changed this. Sotakeit (talk) 12:26, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
• After tonsure, the person receives a new name. So this wording describes someone's worldly, secular name.--Tomcat (7) 13:20, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Princess Caroline Matilda of Great Britain, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Caroline Matilda of Great Britain. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 15:04, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

IPA at Guangxi

I removed your addition of IPA to this article. Guangxi isn't an English word, so doesn't really have an English pronunciation. Whenever I hear it it's said essentially in Chinese, but there's no need for Chinese IPA as pinyin serves the same purpose, precisely giving the pronunciation (with tones which English IPA doesn't have) and being much more widely understood. IPA is hardly ever used for Chinese in articles for this reason. It's not needed except in articles like pinyin.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 13:48, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Rode Hall

Hi Sotakeit. Any idea why there is no indication of its location on the map? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:27, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Martinevans123! I'd missed a pesky "-" from the longitude. All fixed now. How's that? Sotakeit (talk) 10:34, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

That's much better, thanks! Although I sometimes wonder about the utility of these standard maps without any place names - is one meant to navigate by means of the shape of the county boundary? Useful in preparing for the University Challenge picture round, I guess! Martinevans123 (talk) 10:40, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

You've a point there, Martinevans123. I suppose if you don't already have some sort of familiarity with the region, they're not much help at all. What brought you to the article, if you don't mind me asking? I've had a go at expanding it from 'stub status' and listed it for peer review, however if you have the time and inclination, it would be great if you could give it a quick critique? Sotakeit (talk) 11:43, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sotakeit. Thanks for reviewing the Manor House, Sleaford article I nominated, and for the barnster - it's nice to have one's work appreciated occasionally. As for Rode Hall, I don't mind taking a look over the next few days and making suggestions on the talk page. Although I would obviously be objective, I am not sure how I feel about reviewing it, as I worry that it might be seen as QPQ... Thank you very much for your review and kind words; happy editing, —Noswall59 (talk) 15:25, 30 April 2015 (UTC).

Hi Edwininlondon. Sorry for the lack off response. I've been having some Wikipedia downtime. I'll have a look at your review tonight and try and get as much of your suggestions actioned as possible. Thanks! Sotakeit (talk) 18:07, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sotakeit. I reckon you still have no time to act. What would you like me to do? I could make as many changes as possible myself. Although I don't know if that is going outside the realm of what a reviewer should do. Edwininlondon (talk) 11:37, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Edwininlondon, I came here after seeing that there had been no edits to the article by Sotakeit and no response there to your review after over a month. You've already made a number of edits to the article; unless you plan to do all the edits needed to address the many issues you raised in the review, it's probably time to close the nomination as unsuccessful, since it can't be listed without correcting each and every problem noted. Once Sotakeit has returned to active editing and has updated the article to fix the issues you noted, he can renominate it; you can always offer to review that nomination as well, if you wish, though it's certainly not a requirement for you to do so. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:33, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset, I will see how far I get with making the edits myself. I might learn a thing or two. Thanks for your guidance. Edwininlondon (talk) 19:39, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.

On English Wikipedia, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:

• Overall winner (1st, 2nd, 3rd places)
• Diversity winner
• Gender-gap fillers

For further information about the contest, the recognition categories and how to participate, please visit the contest page here. For further inquiries, please leave comments on the contest talkpage or on the main project talkpage. See you around :).--Jamie Tubers (talk) 00:50, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
