Welcome to WikiProject Vancouver!

Welcome to WikiProject Vancouver! Hello, Canadianshoper/talk achival, and welcome to WikiProject Vancouver! I'm glad you have decided to join our group of Vancouver-based Wikipedians, which is growing all the time. Be sure to stop by the WikiProject page for any updates or if you want to see how you can help out -- we keep a "to do" list there, and we'd appreciate any help we can get. Greater Vancouver is a very happening place and hopefully, with your help, we can increase its presence here on Wikipedia and show the world what this beautiful corner of Canada is all about. Again, welcome! I hope we see or hear from you soon and often. :)

Buchanan-Hermit™..SCREAM!!!.... 05:32, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Bump , (a shooting game played with two basketballs), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Bump , (a shooting game played with two basketballs) is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Bump , (a shooting game played with two basketballs). Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable.-- SonicAD (talk) 02:26, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's been moved to Bump (game) - at least, I recognize it! :-) --HappyCamper 02:41, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Capilano Mall

The article has been proposed for deletion (not by me, but by someone else) because it doesn't explain why the mall is notable. My suggestion would be to expand it so it looks more complete. You can consult Lansdowne Park Shopping Centre or Richmond Centre (mall) for examples. I'd love to see an article for Capilano Mall, but it's no use if it doesn't show why the mall is notable. :) -→Buchanan-Hermit™/!? 00:49, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of almost re-doing the Capilano Mall article. It should be good enough now to prevent another nomination for deletion. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/!? 02:47, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Stubsensor cleanup project is back

Howdy, I'm just letting you know that stubsensor is back with the most current dump file. The cleanup project is at Wikipedia:Computer help desk/cleanup/stubsensor/20060810. Thanks for your help from the last time! Triddle 00:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Esperanza!

Welcome, Canadianshoper, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the 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 Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support 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 will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a 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 Esperanza/Proposals.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

Your User Page

Perhaps my user page isn't fantastic, but hey, I like it. I'll design you a new page in my sandbox, and show it to you when I'm done.  Daniel_123  ► ► 14:04, 10 September 2006 (UTC) if you need any help with signatures, well I rock there too.  Daniel_123  ► ► 14:04, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

User page completed!

Your user page has been totally awsomeified, if that's a word, which I don't believe it is. I trimmed down the user boxes to a few of the more signifigant ones, I put an awesome color to the headlines, and I put a Wikipedia Signpost sibscription in the corner. I also changed the milestone section to be more informative.  Daniel_123  ► ► 15:13, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

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.

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

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.

Checkers

To help you with your welcoming of new Esperanza members...

... TangoTango has kindly written up a script that once a week lists all of the new members to Esperanza. The list can be found at User:Tangotango/New members of Esperanza; it is updated once a week, and will show all of the new members since the last update. If you're not sure if everyone who joined the past week has been welcomed, that is a great place to check! I hope that helps you in your welcome, and thank you for making a point to greet new Esperanzians! -- Natalya 18:36, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

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. Signed...
