[edit] Userbox Italy
Hi! I've seen your edit of the Italy userbox, and while I apreciate it, because it looks better, it doesn't fit anymore the other european nations user boxes that you can see in the list of European userboxes. Can you do something about it? Like converting some or all of the other userboxes to this style? it would be very apreciated. Ah, I see you have a problem with userboxes alignment on your user page. You can have a look at my user page and see if it resolves your problem. --giandrea 18:11, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Signing
I noticed that you're transcluding a user sub page to sign your posts. I just wanted to inform you if you didn't already know that you can change your default signature by clicking "my preferences", putting your signature in the "Nickname" box, and checking "Raw signature". Then your customized signature will appear just by typing four tildes (~~~~). If you prefer to transclude a page instead, please consider substing instead of transcluding. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Pagrashtak 18:20, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
JMK = 198... I'm still working on this. Why revert? JMK 19:03, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- No problem. Keep up the good work. JMK 20:19, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thank-you

The count is in, and now I join the crew who wield the mops and pails.
- Thanks for your support! I pledge to serve both you and Jimbo Wales.
If you have anything you need, then please don't think to hesitate.
- For I am the very model of a grateful admin designate!

[edit] 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)
[edit] Thanks from Northenglish!
Hi there! Thank you for voting on my recent
request for adminship, which did not succeed by a vote of 3/14/3. Not to worry, though; I am far from disappointed. The vast majority of the votes, even those in opposition, were quite positive. To be honest, I was not expecting it to succeed, and nominated myself on a
bold spur-of-the-moment decision. Apparently, I'm not quite as experienced as I thought I was--I was sure I registered in February rather than April--but never fear! You probably said it best: "Besides, you don't need to be a sysop to write good articles." I'll just continue doing what I'm doing, and perhaps I'll see you again in three months' time. --

Hello Emc2, and thank you for your support at my Request for Adminship, which succeeded with an overwhelming final count of (105/2/0). I was very pleased with the outpouring of kind words from the community that has now entrusted me with these tools, from the classroom, the lesson in human psychology and the international resource known as Wikipedia. The Free Encyclopedia. Please feel free to leave me plenty of requests, monitor my actions (through the admin desk on my userpage) and, if you find yourself in the mood, listen to some of what I do in real life. In any case, keep up the great work and have a fabulous day. Grandmasterka 07:21, 16 July 2006 (UTC) |

[edit] Pubic hair
I don't think removing a picture from an article could be considered a "minor edit". Please think carefully before checking that box! Soo 15:43, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Not everyone considers a rollback to be a minor edit. Although the net effect is zero, clearly the effect of the individual edits is not. If I made extensive changes to an article and they were rolled back by a "minor" edit then I'd be greatly discouraged. I suppose policy needs to be made definite on this but, in general, it's surely better to not to mark as minor if there could be any dispute. For the record, I agree with the change you made, but I don't think it's minor. Soo 15:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

| 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. |

|
|
- 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.

[edit] 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! |
|

[edit] November Esperanza Newsletter

| 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! |

- 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.
