November Esperanza Newsletter[edit]

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.

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.

Image:Notre-Dame de Montréal Basilica Jan 2006.jpg[edit]

I notice you have this image on your user sub-page User:Primate/Templates/4/9. Unfortunately, due to a licensing issue it must be deleted from Wikipedia, so I've had to remove it. See Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Notre dame basillica delist for an explanation of the issue. I really hate having to do this, as this image was my favourite of all images I've seen on Wikipedia, but that's the way it has to be I'm afraid. Since the page pretty much just contained that picture, I'm happy to delete the page if you don't want to keep it. Raven4x4x 11:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

After posting that message, I realised what the template was for. No need to delete it then, it'll just need a replacement image. Sorry again for having to do this. Raven4x4x 11:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Happy First Edit Day![edit]

Happy First Edit Day, Benesch/Old User Page, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day!

I still don't know what a "First Edit Day" is, but I enjoy sending these. Cheers, •The RSJ• Talk | Sign Here 01:01, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You have misspelled "Accuracy" as "Accurracy" in "Of those, 1 were not vandalism. (Accurracy: 99.57%)" on your user page. I'd fix it myself, but your page is too complex for me :) happy first edit day!

Congratulations! It's been... 1.. 2.. 3.. ___^{(plug # in)} years since your very first edit! Happy First Edit Day, Benesch! Have a f-a-n-tastic day and keep up the good work on Wikipedia!

Best of wishes, the Birthday Committee and myself! --lov e laughterlife♥^talk? 01:27, 22 January 2007 (UTC) [reply]
