[edit] Welcome aboard

Hello SpokaneWilly,
Welcome to Wikipedia. I think you'll find it fantastic. But there is a lot going on, and it can be a bit wild.
Try reading the tutorial, have a play in the sandbox to learn How to edit a page, or visit new users page.
The most important things are The Five Pillars, but correct naming and good style are nice, too!

If you have questions you can ask at the help desk or on my talk page (just click the ^(t) after my name).

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello SpokaneWilly, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:

Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page and the Manual of Style.
Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
Use the Show preview button
Provide an Edit summary
Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
Create a User page
Be bold
Ignore all rules

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax ^τεχ 15:14, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:SpokaneShockLogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SpokaneShockLogo.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 07:04, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Spokane, Washington neighborhoods article

I saw your message saying the article was far too large and stopped reading after the first line. Looks like we were thinking the same thing. I moved the neighborhoods section off the Spokane article and onto it's own. Sorry about that. --Bobblehead 01:40, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spokane

Hi there. I went one better--I just went ahead and cleaned up the article. I'm sure you know what I meant, but it was words and phrases like: "teeming", "thriving", "boasts", "dramatic", "jewel of", and "in heart of" (I especially dislike that one in encyclopedia articles). Oh and the second-person instruction to "check out" whatever it was. If that kind of thing starts to creep in again (and it probably will--you seem to have some enthusiastic Spokane-boosters), I can certainly leave a note on the article's talk page. Anyway, I hope you think my edits improve the article. Oh, and in the interests of paring things down, you might want to look at the list of notable residents and perhaps cut their descriptions to the briefest explanation, since most of them have their own links, which the curious can follow. Happy editing! Katr67 07:20, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eastern Washington Wikiproject

Thanks for the message about the wikiproject. I might be living in Seattle now, but I grew up in Spokane. Been a number of years since then, but I still visit several times a year to visit family. --Bobblehead 05:42, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Likewise, thanks for the invitation. I've only spent a few hours in Spokane, but I'm even so interested in having a good article about the city and its environs. I won't add my name to the project, I'm over extended already so I can't make real improvements. But feel free to let me know if I can be of any specific help, either as an editor or an admin. Thanks for organizing this project. Cheers, -Will Beback 06:41, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alex Talk

you can delete this because I'm sure i'm not using your talk page in the proper way. but, uh, hello!

--Alexandermiller 07:21, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

ah, wikipedia is very large and scary and confusing at first! --Alexandermiller 21:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Taiwan is not recognized by the United Nations as a nation, would you argue that it's not then? Alexandermiller 00:40, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your Wikiproject

You're welcome! I don't know much about the area, but i'll help if I can! Anything else going on or anybody else to talk to around here? Carmen Chamelion 20:53, 12 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.

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.

WE GOTS NEW PLANETS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[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!

[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.

[edit] When you get back from WikiBreak..

I created an article on Sacred Heart Medical Center (Sacred Heart Medical Center (Spokane)). Thought you might be interested in taking a look or expanding it.

P.S.: I've seen 3 other age 14-16 editors on Wikipedia from Spokane, including me - what a coincidence, must be in the water, huh? --W o o ty Woot? contribs 21:36, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Orchestra Right Records

You had your chance to present your reasoning against deletion while it was up for discussion. You did not take the opportunity to do so. Other editors agreed that it was not a notable subject. If you feel that it was deleted unfairly, you can request a review at Wikipedia:Deletion review. ... discospinster _talk 17:15, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:SpokaneINDIANSLogo.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.
