== Removing your !vote from RfA ==

That's interesting. I do remember making the top edits (adding the "'''A:'''" bits), but definitely not removing your comment. That's the last thing I would do; it appears that I was using an one-revision-earlier cache of page and forgot to reload my browser; the end result was that when I saved my changes, your edits were lost because I was saving an older version. Please accept my humble apologies.

Anyway, happy New Year!

Prescott Farm (Newport)

Welcome!

Hello, Banana04131/Archive 1, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!

Hi, I noticed you created a new article on Prescott Farm. However, I think you were talking about the wrong farm. Since you seem to be particularly interested in creating new articles, I suggest you read Manual of Style to get a handle of how Misplaced Pages articles are usually formatted. Once again, I say welcome to Misplaced Pages! — Ambush Commander 03:29, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

See reply on your talk page. --Banana04131 17:50, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Pah Ute War

You are the most recent editor on this article. I would recommend moving it to "Paiute War" to conform to the more common usage of the name. Or, it may be a better segment of the Paiute article itself. Please look at my notes on the talk page. Comments are welcome. And welcome to Misplaced Pages. I look forward to working with you. WBardwin 02:51, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

I would merge (cut and paste) the content of both the article and discussion page (if useful) into Paiute and then make Pah Ute War a "redirect page" to Paiute. That will ensure that someone typing in that spelling will go to the bigger article. For instructions on merging and redirects see: Misplaced Pages:Merging and moving pages. I think it would make a nice subsection in the bigger article. And there seems to be sources online and elsewhere there to work with. Let me know if I can help. WBardwin 03:44, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Will do. Thanks! --Banana04131 16:54, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Jumped in and corrected the redirect page. Take a look at the difference -- you don't need to hit the shift to create the appropriate bracketts. Sorry if I interfered. On Wiki, most of us get into the habit of correcting things when we see them -- otherwise you might never get back to it. Tell me to butt out if you want. Thanks. WBardwin 19:42, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting it. I didn't really know what I was doing. --Banana04131 20:23, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

In a way, that makes Wiki more fun. You can flub up something and, with the history feature, go back and fix it. It took me quite awhile to realize which key elements were responsible for which functions. Even after six months, I learn a new one every once in a while. Some of these guys, however, are really wizards with this system. Look forward to reading your section of Paiute -- my best.............WBardwin 21:00, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar

Thank you dear friend Banana04131 for the Award and also for your kind words. Best Regards! --GalaazV 18:01, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

P.S. - Btw, how is your skill in English language? If it is high enough :) do you a few minutes (hours) you could spare to aid revise an article I've rewritten?

  • All right, thanks! :) I have added several data and completed the article Rosicrucian, which is under nomination for "featured article" at Misplaced Pages:Featured_article_candidates/Rosicrucian, in order to comply with suggestions given there. But as my English is rather basic I need a thorough review on the sentences and words spelling to be done: please, you may change sentences to a more formal English but please try do it in a way that the meaning stays the same. If you have any trouble with any conception please ask at my talk page. I had also asked to RDF to aid with a revision, but I think that he is with work at this time, he would do a correction later on; but if you help there is no need for him to do a deep/thorough correction. Afterwards, after english correction, I will comment in the voting page for the changes to be evaluated in order receive green light to become a "featured article". What do you say? :) Thanks. --GalaazV 0:48, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Will do! --Banana04131 00:12, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

- I will too, thanks. :) --GalaazV
- LOL, an event that also took place during my edits in the last week :-) --GalaazV 16:17, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
- Btw, when you finish revising the English usage, please write "Done." under the last item (not striked) at the box "Pending tasks for Rosicrucian" of Talk:Rosicrucian. Then we'll see what follows at the Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Rosicrucian :) --GalaazV 17:50, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
-OK --Banana04131 01:28, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

NPOV dispute at Surat Shabd Yoga article

If you would be so kind, please take a look at - and make any needed edits to - the Surat Shabd Yoga article to help improve it and ensure it reflects NPOV. Thanks, — RDF 20:12, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Rosicrucian

Hi RDF. We haven't met but we were, I think, both asked to proof read the article Rosicrucian by GalaazV. I think the article is ready for resubmiting to feature article status. Please let me know what you think. Banana04131 00:06, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi there, (May I call you Banana? ;-) Okay, I'll take a look this weekend. — RDF 01:02, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

lol thanks --Banana04131 01:03, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

I did a rough edit of the article, mainly to break up run-on sentences. — RDF 04:16, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, glad you like it. I'll go ahead and merge them. Afelton 14:07, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Igara expansion

Nice job! Looks from your user talk as if you've got a diverse range of interests, but if you're interested in continuing to expand some Africa topics (and they could certainly use the help), here's a few more places you may want to check out:

Hope to see you around again soon! Keep up the good work, --Dvyost 02:49, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

PS I went ahead and split Igala into Igala and Igala language--this way both can be expanded later. What do you think?

They should definetly be split. Thanks for the links! --Banana04131 04:03, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

You're very welcome. If you ever have any questions about any of those, feel free to drop me a note! Best --Dvyost 04:47, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Church of the White Bird

Hi Banana, happy to see your name come up again so soon! I wanted to warn of a few things I came across in this particular article, though. One of the sentences appears to be copied directly from here, which means it needs to be reworked (see Misplaced Pages:Copyrights). And don't forget to wikilink where you can, and add stub and category tags where you can! I happened to notice this one go blue on the List of Missing Africa Topics, but adding those extra links will help other editors find the good stuff you're adding in. Anyway, I hope I keep seeing you around. Good luck! --Dvyost 19:51, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry. I was working on the article but got called away and had to save as is. will work on it. Banana04131 19:58, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

No worries; I actually didn't realize that had only been up for an hour. Anyway, I expanded and formatted a bit, but you probably know more about this one than me, so feel free to hack and slash as you see fit... --Dvyost 20:02, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
Actually when I looked at it, I couldn't find anything to fix-up. :) To the next missing africa article. Banana04131 22:54, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Winter

Whats Zion mythology? The link you provide leads to a Natural History Association: Not to a religious institution's website, or to a collection of tribal myths, but rather to a page linked to a national park... It *might* be linked to the Mormons (http://www.zionpark.org/about.php), but it doesn't seem like it, and even if it is, it's no good source for Native American myth. Your addition to the winter article would be more reliable if it started: "According to Inuit mythology..." or "According to Chippewa mythology...", etc. Didn't mean to sound rude in my removal of your addition but it seems pretty unsubstantiated. Please remove it or find a better citation. My name's Eduardo, btw. Nice to meet ya. Sorry it's on these terms.

My RfA

Success!!! Thanks for your support! --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 08:04, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, I turned Greg Van Zant into a stub, so I don't see any reason to delete it now. --Delirium 20:19, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

okBanana04131 20:20, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Zion

I can't find evidence for a Zion tribe. The only one I did find was a band named that. Now, the "Zion" you cite in the winter article is the Zion Natural History Association. Follow the link you provided. There is a link at the top of the page with the myth, which leads you to it. (i.e. from http://www.thursdaysclassroom.com/23sep99/story5.html to http://www.zionpark.org/) It is a club or organization, apparently naming itself after the Zion National Park... Eduardo_Cuellar

Oops! Sorry for not checking it better! Feel free to delete it. Banana04131 18:21, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Ah, it can stay, as long as it's clear its origin is uncertain. I feel sorta bad now getting so aggressive over it, but "Zion myth" was so misleading. Eduardo_Cuellar
Well, wikipedia exists on correcting others mistakes. I originaly had it as a Native American myth but somebody called me racist on the talk page Hope I see you around! Banana04131 02:42, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Aiheuism

Thanks for the kind way you notified me of the VfD. Perhaps the article's time is not yet. I did not vent, nor am I angry or upset, but I did write a few clarifiying remarks on the VfD section on Aiheuism explaining the reasoning behind the article and correcting a factual error. In the future I plan to concentrate on Animal Welfare and Zoology topics which are my forte. And as a new user, certainly, I'll be looking for constructive advice whenever and wherever provided.

Esperanza elections

Hi Banana04131! Thank you for your vote in the Esperanza elections. Unfortunately it has been discounted as the elections are only open to members of Esperanza who registered on or before 12 December 2005 and are listed at on the membership page.

If you'd like to join Esperanza, please let me know on my talk page and I'll arrange for you to be added. Our next elections are scheduled for February, so you would be welcome to vote then if you join now!

If you've got any questions or need any advice, please let me know. Cheers! ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 19:20, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

An Esperanzial note

As I remember, the last spam that was handed out was on the 20th of December last year, so I think it's time for another update. First and foremost, the new Advisory Council and Administrator General have been elected. They consist of myself as Admin General and FireFox, Titoxd, Flcelloguy and Karmafist as the Advisory Council. We as a group met formally for the first time on the 31st of Decembe. The minutes of this meeting can be found at WP:ESP/ACM. The next one is planned for tonight (Sunday 29 January) at 20:30 UTC and the agenda can be found at WP:ESP/ACM2.

In other news, Karmafist has set up a discussion about a new personal attack policy, which it can be found here. Other new pages include an introductory page on what to do when you sign up, So you've joined Esperanza... and a welcome template: {{EA-welcome}} (courtesy of Bratsche). Some of our old hands may like to make sure they do everything on the list as well ;) Additionally, the userpage award program proposal has become official is operational: see Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/User Page Award to nominate a userpage or volunteer as a judge. Also see the proposed programs page for many new proposals and old ones that need more discussion ;)

Other than that, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you an Esperanzially good new WikiYear :D Thank you! --Celestianpower 16:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

subst

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Another Esperanzial note...

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,
--Celestianpower 09:00, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
(message delivered by FireFox using AWB on Celestianpower's behalf)

RFA Thanks!

Thank you!
Hello Banana04131/Archive 1, and thank you for your support in my request for adminship! It passed with a final count of 98/2/0. If there is anything I can do to help you, please leave me a message on my talk page! -- xaosflux

prod'ing

Please don't PROD articles because they will "never expand" (e.g., Vetrap)... anything notable -- such as a product with its own patent pedigree and specific uses over decades -- can be made into an informative, useful stub; which at worst suggests careful merging into a larger article, and at best can stand alone. Cheers, +sj + 06:00, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1

Reach out
Reach out is a program aimed at allowing users to bring issues that they have had in Misplaced Pages to a listening, sympathetic and caring audience:
"No one can know how we feel if we do not say. We cannot expect to get understanding if we do not ask for it. No one will dispute that sometimes life's issues are too much for one person. It is fair to say that sometimes Misplaced Pages's problems fall under the same heading. This is a place where you can bring the bruises that can sometimes be got on this project for attention."
Stress Alerts
The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them.
Note from the editor
Welcome to this new format of the Esperanza Newsletter, which came about during the last Advisory Council meeting - we hope you like it! The major changes are that each month, right after the Council meeting, this will be sent out and will include two featured programs and a sum up of the meeting. Also, it will be signed by all of the Advisory Council members, not just Celestianpower. Have an Esperanzial end of March, everyone!
The last AC meeting (full log)
  1. Future meetings are to be held monthly, not fortnightly as before.
  2. Bans and Access level changes (apart from autovoice) in the IRC channel are to be reported at the new log.
  3. In the IRC channel, there is going to be only one bot at a time.
  4. The charter requires members to have 150 edits and 2 weeks editing. Why this is the case will be clarified.
  5. A new Code of Conduct will be drafted by JoanneB and proposed to the Esperanza community.
  6. The NPA reform idea is to be dropped officially.
  7. Charter ammendments are to be discussed in future, not voted on.
  8. The Advisory Council is not going to be proposed to be expanded by the Advisory Council themselves, if others want to propose it, they will listen.
Signed...

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #2

Barnstar Brigade
The Barnstar Brigade is a new program aimed at giving more very deserving yet unappreciated users barnstars. It will officially start on 2006-04-09, but signing up is encouraged before this date:
"Here in Misplaced Pages, there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go un-appreciated. 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 un-noticed. Sadly, these editors often leave the project. As Esperanzians, we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. A project the size of Misplaced Pages has thousands of editors, so there are plenty of people out there who deserve recognition, one just has to find them. The object of this program is not to flood editors with Barnstars, but to seek out people who deserve them, and make them feel appreciated."
Stress Alerts
The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them.
Information
Welcome to the second issue of the new format Esperanza Newsletter - we hope you still like it! This week, it was delivered diligently by our new dogsbody. MiszaBot (run by Misza13): any execution complaints should go to him. Content comments should be directed at the Esperanza talkpage. Thanks!
The last AC meeting (full log)
  1. The next elections: Approval voting as before and, also as before, an previous leadership member can run. Please submit your name for voting in the relevant section of this page. Voting starts on 2006-04-23 and ends on 2006-04-30. There will be three places up for grabs as KnowledgeOfSelf is leaving Misplaced Pages. Please see the previously linked page for full details.
  2. The Code of Conduct is now ready for extensive discussion! Specific comments should go to the Code of Conduct talk page, discussion of having one at all should be directed to the main Esperanza talk page.
  3. The current process for accepting proposals for new programs has been deemed fine. All Advisory Council members and the Admin Gen are to endevour to be bold when viewing discussion. If they feel that consensus has been reached, they will act accordingly.
A plea from the editor...
The propsed programs page is terribly underused! Please leave any comments, good or bad, on the page, to help us determine the membership's thoughts on the ideas there.
Signed...

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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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)
  1. Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel.
  2. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect.
  3. 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.
  4. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop.
  5. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon.

New Council
Following our first elections, a new council has been elected.Computerjoe and Ian13 remain as chairman and chief executive (respectively); while Eddieh, Wiki alf and Xchrisblackx are replaced as councillors by Ilyanep, Osbus and Covington. The Giant Puffin and Pureblade remain as councillors.
Member Conduct
In the last meeting, the conduct of 4 members was discussed. Ethnopunk will be put on probation, supervised by Ian13, if he/she is incivil during this probation, he/she will be expelled from WP:CJ; the same was decided for Misza13 (voluntarily), and his probation will be supervised by Computerjoe. No action will be taken against Computerjoe.
Barnstar
The Civility Barnstar which our members have designed has been sent to Barnstar and award proposals. We'd appreciate your feedback!

Also, we are planning to make a Community Justice barnstar to give to hard-working CJ members. If you're a budding designer, consider trying to make it, then post your proposal to WT:CJ!

Name and logo change
There has been no consensus reached regarding changing our name and/or logo neither at WT:CJ nor at WT:CJ/M/1. While suggestions are still welcome, no action will be taken at this time.
Programs
We are going to try to create programs to more actively involve our members. If you have any ideas, please drop a line at WT:CJ. We will try to work with WP:ESP on one of these programs, at some point in the future.
Thanks!
Thank you for your time. If you need anything, feel free to comment at WT:CJ or come into our IRC channel .

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 03:18, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Concordia newsletter

Concordia Newsletter

Community Justice is no more. It has been reformed to Concordia. Membership has been transferred.

Concordia is an organization of editors on Misplaced Pages that strive to encourage civility and fair treatment among all editors in the Wikipedian community, from the Wikignome to the Wikiholic. The project was designed to have a friendly and helpful environment to support any unfortunate Wikipedians that have become victims of incivility, hostility, or continual disrespect.

We currently need help in getting going, and making the community understand our aims. We work for civility. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you have ideas, let us know at our talk page, or on the IRC channel. We aim to spread civility in every way we can.

Should you wish to unsubscribe to future newsletters, please add your name to Misplaced Pages:Concordia/Do Not Spam.

Thank you for your time. If you need anything, feel free to comment at WT:CCD or come into our IRC channel .

Your edit to Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia

Just wanted to say well done on the edits you made to Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia - seems to have been the first positively-information-increasing contribution anyone's made to the article in ages, there's been plenty of vandalism reversion, but not much else. Keep up the good work!Inner Earth 20:50, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

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 Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

re: Talk:BJAODN

Can some one point me to the discussion on internamespace redirects? --Banana04131 03:08, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

There's a discussion currently going on at Misplaced Pages:Redirects for deletion#Various cross-name space redirects. --Zoz (t) 16:26, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks!

Stressbusters

I noticed by your WikiStress that you were feeling very stressed so I just thought I would drop a message. Please leave a message on my talk page if you need any help, cheers —Minun 10:16, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

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 Misplaced Pages, 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 Misplaced Pages: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)
  1. 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 Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed!
  2. The In development section of the proposals page has been created.
  3. 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.
  4. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Misplaced Pages talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter.
  5. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
  6. 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 Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade
Here in Misplaced Pages 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)
  1. The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  2. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage.
  3. 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!

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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages.
  • 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 Misplaced Pages policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias.
  • A discussion of Esperanza's role in Misplaced Pages 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.

Concordia Newsletter

NEWSLETTER

Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly.

Help out now!

  • Try and help people remain civil! Talk to them, and help them in any way possible. Do not be afraid to use the talk page.
  • Give people the Civility Barnstar.
  • Make and spread some Wikitokens so people know there are people to help if they want assistance.
  • Add banners or logos to your userpage to show your support.
  • Suggest some ideas! Add 'em to the talk page.

We are a community, so can only work though community contributions and support. It's the helping that counts.

Decision Making

The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported.

If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here.

Purge your cache. I removed that DYK entry 4 hours ago. You should now see Mingulay as your first DYK image. Nishkid64 19:32, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! sorry

Removing your !vote from RfA

That's interesting. I do remember making the top edits (adding the "A:" bits), but definitely not removing your comment. That's the last thing I would do; it appears that I was using an one-revision-earlier cache of page and forgot to reload my browser; the end result was that when I saved my changes, your edits were lost because I was saving an older version. Please accept my humble apologies.

Anyway, happy New Year!
