Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

Administrator Coaching
The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service. This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but 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. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
Stressbusters
The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome!
Note from the editor
As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!

The last AC meeting (full log)
Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon.

Per SamSpade, this IP appeared static. What did I miss? Thanks for the help. :) Radio Kirk talk to me 04:24, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! :) If I may persist, though, RoadRunner is an ISP—also, it reads "direct allocation" and "non-portable". If I'm reading something wrong, it will help me in the future to know that. Thanks again. Radio Kirk talk to me 04:31, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes, just a question, since you're a broadcaster, do you also narrate for articles?-- 陈鼎翔贡献 Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 04:34, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't, yet, but I've considered it. Radio Kirk talk to me 04:36, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome the the Birthday Committee!

Welcome, Tdxiang/Archive May to June 2006, to the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! You have met all of the membership requirements. Any concerns should be directed to Steveo2. See the Birthday Committee Project Page to see our userbox and the Birthday Message Templates. Go to the bulletin board to see any new announcements concerning the committee. Remember, Be Bold!

Good to have you aboard! Mr. Turcotte 23:59, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chat Day

Hello, we have decided to notice all of you at the eleventh hour. Today its Chat Day and its where SGpedians' go to and have a casual off-topic chat. It is held at our very own Singapore IRC Channel from 2000 (SST) to late. Do come to the channel if you have the time and it is greatly appreciated that you turn up at the channel. --Ter e nc e Ong 11:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New Birthday Committee Bulletin Format

This Wikipedia page has been superseded by Wikipedia talk:Birthday Committee and is retained primarily for historical reference.

Birthday Committee Bulletin Board

I just have a few announcements.

A new sub-discussion page has been formed to discuss the possibility of a change to the membership requirements. I am aware that while I think that they should be raised, others feel that there shouldn't even be any. Please post your opinion on Wikipedia talk:Birthday Committee/Membership Requirements Steveo2 11:03, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please see the BDC Talk Page for more news, including the possibility of a merger with Esperanza. Steveo2 11:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

While Steveo2 is gone, I will take his place as Current Leader. If you have any comments, ideas, or any questions feel free to contact me. Mr. Turcotte^talk

Our newest members, since the last bulletin update, are Cute 1 4 u, Bakanov, Aeon1006, scareslamfist, SFGiants, Kalathalan, Astorknlam, and Adamcobb. Be sure to give all of them a warm welcome, and thank you all for joining. Thisthema n

We added a second First Edit Day Template a few weeks ago. We have also added four Happy Adminship templates in the past few days as well. Be sure to wish users a First Edit Birthday and Adminship anniversary. The users and their dates can be found on the Esperanza Calendar on the Project Page. Enjoy. Thisthema n

Many thanks to Draicone for adding headers to our Birthday Committee pages. They look wonderful! Thisthema n

Remember the rules for new birthday templates. You only need my approval if the template is drastically different from the ones already existing. (Just to be clear, I realize I have no right to dictate which templates you can make and keep. However, only the ones I approve will appear on the Wikipedia:Birthday Committee page.) While Steveo2 is gone you have to get my approval. Mr. Turcotte^talk

If you'd like, you may post on this bulletin board. It's found on Template:BDC Bulletin 1. You may use it to suggest new policy changes, or anything else you think is too important to only go on the talk page. Sign all announcements that you add. Mr. Turcotte^talk

The next member birthday is: Mac_Davis (September 1st), followed by Hexagon1 (September 2nd). Thisthema n

Everyone is doing an excellent job wishing people a happy birthday and getting the word of our committee out. Thanks everyone! Mr. Turcotte^talk

As we reach 140 members wished by committee members, I'd like to point out that we're only limited by the number of people listing their birthday on the Esparanza calendar. So shouldn't we focus on encouraging users to add their important dates, so that our 15 odd members (and any new ones, like me!) have enough work to go round? --Draicone ^(talk) 14:37, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Adminship

Thank you for supporting/objecting/tropicanising me in my request for Adminship. Although I wasn't promoted to admin status, with a final vote count of 14/27/12, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was pleasantly suprised at the support, and was touched by it. I will also work harder on preventing disputes and boosting my edit count (which is on the up), so thank you to all your objectors. Hopefully I will re-apply soon and try again for the mop. Thanks again, H ig hway ^{Rainbow Sneakers}

Trading spaces

Hello, Tdxiang, thank you for signing up to participate in Esperanza's trading spaces program. As you requsted to have your user page renovated by another user, Fbv65edel will be renovating your userpage. Please contact Fbv65edel on their talk page about the renovating. The renovating will be listed at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Programs#Undergoing_Renovation, please feel free to update the status as it changes. Enjoy!

Hey Tdxiang, I will be renovating your user page. I see you're away for exams until the 22nd. I will be taking exams fairly soon as well, but they won't be taking up so much of my time that I'll be away from Wikipedia. Anyway, please let me know what you're interested in having on your page and I'll start formulating some ideas. This should be fun! :-) --Fbv65e del ^{(discuss | contribs)} 18:31, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All righty then. When you get back from camp, check in with me again. --Fbv65e del ^{(discuss | contribs)} 15:35, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, it's the 24th (25th UTC time). Are you back? Ready to get going on the page renovation? --Fbv65e del ^{(discuss | contribs)} 02:07, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So, it's the 29th. Are you ready to get going on the user page renovation? Happy belated birthday, BTW. --Fbv65e del ^{(discuss | contribs)} 04:14, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, don't worry about keeping me waiting. The only thing is I'll be taking a vacation from 9 June to 25 June, so we might even have to postpone it until after that, since I've got finals all this week and next. But it will get done! --Fbv65e del ^{(discuss | contribs)} 14:01, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1942 AFD

I see you voted in a 1942 mod AFD vote. Well Stargate: Battle for Mankind is up for AFD. Also Finnwars, List of Battlefield 1942 mods are also AFD. Bfelite 03:02, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Monobook

To create a monobook, you would go to User:Blah/monobook.js. So for you, it would be User:Tdxiang/monobook.js. Then you just copy whatever you want into it, save, do a hard refresh, and it should be ready to use.--Shanel ^§ 18:06, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could you explain why you forged a vote?

You forged this vote. Why? Clinkophonist 19:49, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BOPP'D!

Master of Puppets has bopped you on the top with a mop! Bops promote not only WikiLove, but also steady loss of brain cells! Hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the Moppage by bopping someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend, and help the chief Mop achieve his goal of world domination. Happy editing! And to spread the Moppage, just use {{subst:User:Master of Puppets/Bop|<you>}} replacing <you> with your username. Happy editing! Master of Puppets ^{Your will is mine.} 19:51, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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!
