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! What's New? September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves! Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there! The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself! The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it! TangoTango has written a script for a bot that will list new members of Esperanza, which will help those who welcome new Esperanzains greatly! Signed...

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.

Garden of Allah

[3]: How do you know this is specifically what Mitchell had in mind? Citation? - Jmabel | Talk 22:59, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[copied]

Honestly, I don't have a citation, though I have heard from multiple sources that that was the case. For what it's worth, Big Yellow Taxi seems to corroborate the assertion. —Cuiviénen 14:48, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[end copied]

From the lyrics, it could be about the demolition of anything, the destruction of wilderness, you name it. I don't think this belongs in the article on the basis of uncitable rumor. - Jmabel | Talk 17:28, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

On this day

Hi, I saw your name in talk:Main page#Al-Quds Day.So you may be able to help me. As I said there the information in "On this day" isn't completely correct. But the more important issue that I can help with Islamic calendar and events, if you want.--Sa.vakilian 10:51, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject query

Hi there, I am doing some clean up on the list of proposed WikiProjects. I noticed that WikiProject Featured Articles has been listed for more than 60 days. Unless you object, I would like to remove it from the list since it is unlikely to receive further feedback. Thanks! --Aguerriero (talk) 18:29, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Quick question...

Please see my user page header (here). On it, I have some lyrics to a song by My Chemical Romance. Chacor thought it would be a good idea to ask an admin if it would be okay to keep the lyrics, and if there were any copyright laws or anything. So, am I breaking any rules by putting the lyrics there, or can I keep them? Coredesat said it should be fine, because I didn't use all the lyrics (which I understand is not allowed), but I thought I should get a second opinion from another admin. →Cyclone1→ 01:47, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't venture to profess expertise, but generally using excerpts of lyrics for personal purposes is fine; it doesn't violate Wikipedia as they are on a personal page. As long as provide credit, which you do, it's really not different from having a quotation in an essay, for example. —Cuiviénen 02:11, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

November Esperanza Newsletter

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. Signed...

From all of us at Esperanza have a good day! And, please show me how you designed your user page, because mine is blah! Thank you! Bearly451 talk 00:13, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

J. R. R. Tolkien

Whoa buddy, that's a FA. I don't think you want to protect that: WP:SPP#When_not_to_use_semi-protection. Patstuart^{(talk)(contribs)} 01:30, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I know you had your reasons, but that looked like a pretty steadfast rule: I wasn't finding much more vandalism than normal on that, for it being an FA. Patstuart^{(talk)(contribs)} 01:31, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Ditto. The vandalism level seems pretty normal for a FA. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 01:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Once a minute is not a usual amount, and the FA semiprotection rule is routinely broken. As I said on the talk page, it doesn't need to be semiprotected for long (maybe an hour), just long enough for the novelty to wear off. —Cuiviénen 01:38, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I'd recommend removing it- FAs are monitored intensely for vandalism. There's a policy against this too, as was mentioned. --Wafulz 02:18, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Doughan - my comments

Hi Cuivienen. I left a comment and more welcoming bits at User talk:Doughan, as I recognised the name, and after looking at his contributions list realised that he is the Doughan that I know. His article is used as a reference in the J. R. R. Tolkien article. I realise the edit you referred to in your welcome note might have looked like an experiment, but I can assure you it wasn't. Hope that clears up any confusion. Thanks. Carcharoth 22:53, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

steve.museum

Hi Cuivienen. Why did you speedy delete my page? I am not advertising this site, I don't work for these people. I am a library student and steve.museum is something a lot of people I go to school with are talking about. I thought it would be useful to have a wikipedia site on it. Thanks. --Sils660

Also, you say "The original version would have failed WP:WEB as a non-notable website. WP:NOT a soapbox for advertising. This incarnation is a recreation of deleted material." It's actually NOT a recreation of deleted material. This is the first page I've ever made so the first few times I posted it had 4 sentences. Now it is a page with context. I just think that nobody looked twice before doing a speedy delete. --Sils660

Thank you for your message. Maybe you are right that it is not notable enough. Still, I doubt that I will be the last one to try and create the page. --Sils660Sils660 07:17, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

steve.museum

we need to do a deletion review on the recent speedy of steve museum. the content is clearly notable in the field of museum studies, museum informatices and museology. --Buridan 12:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I just submitted the article for a deletion review. --Sils660Sils660 21:24, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

San Francisco - remove sprotect

I trust you are going to watch the page and revert any vandalism? And you -- of course -- read this before removing the protection?--Paul 23:22, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I see in the San Francisco page history that you did not hang around to revert the vandalism or reprotect as necessary. Mere minutes after you removed protection, the attacks on San Francisco resumed, and you were nowhere to be found to help. Thanks a lot. Please act more responsibly next time.--DaveOinSF 07:13, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

(Originally posted at User talk:DaveOinSF, copied here to complete the thread)

The main Page FA is never semiprotected for very long. No, I could not stay oon my computer for hours reverting vandalism, but the rules are very explicit that Main Page FAs Are not protected indefinitely. We also don't want to discourage new contributors. Please be civil and don't take out your anger on others. —Cuiviénen 16:03, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I can see from your response that you did not verify the facts of my message before discounting them. It was not hours. It was practically immediately after you removed the protection. Please show a little more concern as to the consequences of your actions.--DaveOinSF 18:08, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
