[edit] Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome, Dubbya9, 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!
[edit] Fantastic Four 2
Hi, I saw your recent edit to FF2. I think you read the comment wrong. What is said was 'don Payne's (who also wrote this movie in parentheses) script (for FF2) was accepted for the sequel.' You read it as 'Don Payne's script for My Super Ex-girlfriends was the sequel.' The convention of using a prior work in parentheses is a common one, and none of the editors had a problem with it, as it kept the article clear and brief. As such, I've reverted it, but I wanted to explain why.ThuranX 13:38, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- No prob. I realized what was going on, and figured you'd rather know than oops twice that way, LOL. ThuranX 06:01, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alabama Slam
Sorry i didnt reply earlier but i didnt see your comment... Alabama Slam was the name given to the move by Holly. However, it indeed later became the generic name for the move... when that was first written it wasnt yet the generic name but i didnt really wanna change it as i think the article should reflect that Holly gave the water-wheel slam that name. ---Paulley
[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! |

| 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.
