[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...

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] Wikipedia:Peer review/Socialist Studies (1989)

I note from Wikipedia:WikiProject Politics that you're a member of WikiProjects Politics and are based in the UK. I was wondering if you might be able to contribute to a peer review of Socialist Studies, a political group in the UK active since 1991. The request for peer review can be found at Wikipedia:Peer review/Socialist Studies (1989). —Psychonaut 05:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ==About my Intrepid Game==

I would appreciate it if you had contacted me prior to putting this "deletion propsal" up as i want a Wiki for my Simm. But Wikia does not allow the freedom that Wikipedia does, and in one sense Wikia wouldn't allow me to create my own Wiki. So I would like a full explanation of why my article is being deleted, how am i supposed to contribute if all my attempts are deleted? --Trip Johnson

[edit] Maq Gold Issue

So what would you suggest to remedy the issue. Let the festival gain a few years, and in size, so its more notable? Im new, first article, and am completely unschooled at formatting and such. I tried putting 1 quick source at the bottom, Ill need to find more, but yeah, while notable in size (we had about 500 people), it might not be notable in relevance just yet. We just wanted to document the festival, and get the word out for next years event. PS. If you're in the area, come on out in August. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ShineOn0327 (talk • contribs) 15:24, 18 December 2006 (UTC).

Hey - I can't say how pleased I am that you dropped me a line, too often people just leave, Im really glad you want to stick around. The Wikipedia 'notability guidelines' that come closest to helping are probably Wikipedia:Places of local interest. The biggest problem you're going to come up against is probably the feeling that Wikipedia is not a directory. Mainly, you need reliable and verifiable sources, to show why this event matters, and deserves a place in the Encyclopaedia - things like newspaper references might help, but if they're only local papers then they won't register with a lot of people.

An example that might go well is this article - it also doesn't include references, so it's not a good article, but it does assert the notability, by referring to a national phenomena, rather than any one show, and by saying they've been around for two centuries. Obviously, you'll never be able to create an article saying that yours has been around that long (;-)), but it gives an example of how to assert notability, even without proving it with sources. To be honest, letting the article on Maq Gold be deleted, and then recreating it in a few years when it's shown its longevity, its relevance, and you can find newspapers (or even books) that refer to it might be best. I'm not telling you what to do, for all I know the closing administrator might decide that the {prod} was wrong and the article should stay, these are just some ideas to bear in mind. Oh, and thanks for the invite - really - but I'm in England, so I'll probably never make it. I do hope the event goes well, though :) --Mnemeson 15:44, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Courtesy note about ArbCom proceeding

Hiya, just wanted to drop you a courtesy note to let you know about a current ArbCom proceeding where your name is briefly mentioned: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Naming Conventions. No action is needed on your part, though if you would like to participate in the case by offering a statement, evidence, or comments on the workshop page, you are more than welcome. FYI, Elonka 05:58, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits made to Rory article

Rory Meacham is a real person and he still resides in Hemet ca so he belongs in the "Rory" article.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.110.66.55 (talk • contribs).

Hi there - If you can find sources that refer to him in such a way, you are free to add him back in, this will need to comply with our policies on verifiability, and you will need to prove that he meets the policies on notability. Also, please try to add things in a neutral point of view, as your previous additions used "weasel words", that do not comply with this. --Mnemeson 20:11, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism done by IP Address 207.75.166.3

It looks like you've already given this user a final warning, so I thought you might like to know they are continuing to vandalize pages. Hopefully this is the right way to contact you about this problem. Paladinwannabe2 19:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
