[edit] Snow White characters

Greetings! I see that you have created a whole bunch of stub articles about characters from Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs, linking to a disambiguation page. May I offer some advice? None of these characters merits an entire article (The Prince has already been deleted), but you might consider creating an article called "Characters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)". Since you did not specify which version of the Snow White story you're referring to, I'm just guessing here. If you mean the ballet or another version, that should be made clear also. Just a suggestion - Her Pegship 18:37, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

P. S. I like your userboxes. Her Pegship 18:37, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

for signing my userpage. :) I appreciate it. Best wishes!--ViolinGirl^♪ 20:33, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi man! thanks for your welcome

What's up? I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I can barely write English but I'll be contributing with tecnical stuff like Spanish interwikis. Stay in touch. --Damifb 03:56, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for the welcome

I made an account to point out the amount of vandalism in the Cuba article! Maybe you want to take a look? Mystork 05:47, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please leave an edit summary

Hi...thank you for all your welcome work! Just one minor request, please fill out the edit summary when you edit or welcome somebody. In the case of welcoming, all you have to do is keyboard "welcome" in the edit summary box before hitting enter. Happy editing! Kukini 05:52, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

No worries. It is just a very common wikicustom. You might also want to look into things like Esperanza, where you might find a home. Kukini 05:58, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Esperanza

Welcome, Brazucs, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee, JoanneB, Titoxd and FireFox. The April elections have begun.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me via email or talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, please see the IRC Tutorial, which was written by one of our members. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be!

Thanks! _-M ^o P-_ 06:02, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the welcome Yslain 07:50, 24 April 2006 (UTC) Yslain :)

[edit] Welcome message

Thanks for the note; unfortunately I'm not up to inventing clever things like the message and have to resort to nicking someone else's! {{subst:User:ElectricEye/GetWelcomed|~~~~}} - just paste this onto a page and it fills itself out. Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! ^(Whisper...) 08:10, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Welcoming

Wow, Brazucs, your message made my day! :) Thanks immensely for taking the time to greet newcomers and show them around too. Here's to many more welcomes. Cheers! Sango123 (e) 20:45, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcoming Vandals

It is great that you welcome newcomers Wikipedia. One thing that occurs to me, though, is that you might just take a quick look at the "new user's" contributions. In the case of Indian Name Control you have welcomed one of the many sockpupets of Qromenov a guy who does little but vandalize articles (most notably Squamish, British Columbia), which seems to be his obsession, but via his anon IP and various socks carries out lots of other senseless vandalism. Sunray 00:30, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

No problem. Keep up the good work! Sunray 05:16, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 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. Signed... Celestianpower, JoanneB, Titoxd, Pschemp and Freakofnurture 20:29, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi again

Do you know the Spanish Wikipedia? I'm adding several w:es interwikis. --Damifb 15:42, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wiki:pt

[edit] E.S. Posthumus

The links in the track listing were intentionally pointing at the wikipedia pages for the corresponding cities. Is there a reason you switched them to point to non-existing pages? As for the stub created for Pompeii (song) I think it should be a redirect to the main E.S. Posthumus article and any song specific information included there. Peteresch 21:21, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

In the mean time could I propose that the list also include links to the cities alongside the link to the song pages? something like "Pompeii (song) (city)". Peteresch 17:01, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portuguese Translation

Dear Brazucs,

I need some help regarding two translation from Portuguese Wikipedia to English Wikipedia.

PT Article: pt:Roberta Close
EN Article: Roberta Close
Notes: The portuguese article is a lot more comprehensive than the present English one.

PT Article: pt:Erasmo Carlos
EN Article: Erasmo Carlos
Notes: Although the English article has some content, please cross-check with the portuguese version and cleanup the English article.

Thank you so much for your help! :) - splot 13:33, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikisource KJV

I saw you comments at Wikisource. Although I am not exactly sure what you are trying to ask, I think you can use Template:Sourcetext. For example {{sourcetext|source=Bible|version=King James|book=Esther|chapter=4|verse=6|range=-10}} gives you Esther 4:6-10. Does this help?--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 00:27, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Plutoandcharon.jpg

Hello, sorry for the delayed reply as I was on a Wikibreak. I don't mind at all what you did with the image as it certainly looks a lot better! Thanks. Andromeda321 16:30, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[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] Simple English Wikipedia

Oi. Vejo que você é brasileiro também. Por acaso você não teria vontade de contribuir também no Simple English Wikipedia em artigos relacionados ao Brazil? Obrigado. --Paulistanum 21:00, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Admin coaching

Hi, your turn has arrived for admin coaching! As it's been a while since you've signed up I just wanted to check that you are still wanting it. If so simply add your name to the "Unassigned" section of the coaching box. Let me know if you have any questions (note: EWS23 might reply in my absence!). Cheers, Petros471 21:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Open front rounded vowel

Hello,

I left a comment in the discussion section of "Open front rounded vowel" section. Please check. ---Marc

[edit] Seeking programmer advice

We need the input of programmers at Wikipedia talk:Village pump (proposals)/Sidebar redesign. We're redesigning the sidebar, but need help in finding ways to implement the desired design. I hope you'll come and help. --Nexus Seven 10:48, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List 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.

The last AC meeting (full log) 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. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, Freakofnurture, and Titoxd 05:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

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.

[edit] Admin coaching

Your coaches are Mysekurity and JzG. Exactly what form the admin coaching takes is up to you and the coaches to decide, but a general piece of advice I give is to set up a user subpage (for example User:Brazucs/Admin coaching) to keep coaching discussion together. That prevents things getting split up over three talk pages, which can get confusing! Let me know (on my talk page) if you have any questions. Cheers, Petros471 16:04, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey Braz, how ya doin? I'm your coach, and I'd be glad to take any questions, help you out with anything, and do all kinds of stuff. Don't hesitate to ask at any point. Thanks, Mysekurity 00:18, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Greetings. I'm now back from Philly and looking forward to helping and advising. Just zis Guy you know? 09:38, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[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! 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...

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:T4bacteriophage.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:T4bacteriophage.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may 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. Nv8200p talk 03:27, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 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...

Hello again Brazucs! I`m one of the new users you wellcomed (not new to Wikipedia, just to the English one). I have a question: How do we users know in what is going to be spent the quarter million dollars they (we) have collected already? Regards. --Damifb 06:41, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Iwypromo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Iwypromo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
