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! |

EastEnders image
Please do not revert the EastEnders article again. I changed the image to JPG because the GIF format was criticised here - and myself and my fellow participants in WikiProject EastEnders are trying to make it a featured article. Trampikey (talk to me)(contribs) 18:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Sky TG24 link
Hi thanks for fixing that - User:Lee Stanley's initial edit resulted in a redlink for Sky TG24, hence my thinking there wasn't actually an article. -- Matthew Humphreys 19:02, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- I was getting there, I was just beaten to it!
On the subject of the SKY TG24 article, I have corrected the article where you had copied a very bad translation of information from the page from the Italian Wiki. Don't rely on online translations, they are not perfect - better to leave it to someone who actually knows some of the language. Thankfully in this case, I don't think there is much ambiguity about any of the content. - Lee Stanley 23:29, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Your userpage and signature
Could I have a userpage and signature like yours? 91BOY 20:13, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I have added some optional questions to your RfA. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 14:30, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello! I have completed the process of closing your RfA, now that you have withdrawn. Don't take this as a failure, you can become an admin with hard work in the areas outlined by the contributors. I look forward to working with you in the future! Regards, (aeropagitica) 19:31, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Image:Chantelle-Houghton.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Chantelle-Houghton.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Sherool (talk) 07:01, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
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.

Regarding this edit, I think you goofed and removed a large amount of content. RunedChozo 16:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, it looks like I was sending you this while you were making that edit. I'm glad to see you were behaving in good faith and noticed a mistake quickly. RunedChozo 16:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Your opening page states 'Your knowledge makes Wikipedia' should read 'The TRUTH makes Wikipedia' there are alot of lies on Wiki that is accepted as Truth. Culnacréann  22:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
