Now you have to give props to kids on Wikipedia (I am one) donating some time to Wikipedia. It is good In my opinion for kids to be involved in the internet. It is an oppurtunity for other things, so I am giving you this barnstar I made. --RayquazaDialgaWeird2210 (talk) 01:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Happy B-day
Hungry? Here's a little snack for you on your birthday, from the
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.
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.
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.
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.
wikEd
The wikEdlogo
Hi, I have seen that you are using the Cacycle editor extension. This program is no longer actively maintained in favor of its much more powerful successor wikEd.
wikEd has all the functionality of the old editor plus: • syntax highlighting • nifty image buttons • more fixing buttons • paste formatted text from Word or web pages • convert the formatted text into wikicode • adjust the font size • and much, much more.
Switching to wikEd is easy, check the detailed installation description on its project homepage. Often it is as simple as changing every occurrence of editor.js into wikEd.js on your User:YourUsername/monobook.js page.
i would like to change my username but im not sure how. as i have amassed quite a lot of edits im unwilling to create a new account. please could you tell me where i go to aply for a name change
I basically modified D.B's header for you so all the links are yours... if I'm really motivated I might make custom icons for my own use, you'll be welcome to use them too.... as so protecting it, it's its own subpage, but as with the nature of all web code it's impossible to shield it totally... anyway if you have any questions, just talk to me at my page.

Pages
All your pages have been moved to this user. The status changer is in the same spot, only with "Daz 90". Also, with the above header, it is now located at
in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will 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. —Bkell (talk) 20:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Image:Roger1(3).jpg listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered,
Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. MECU≈talk04:17, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply

I nominated for deletion because it is orphaned (OR) which means it is not being used on Wikipedia and I see no encyclopedic value for this image (UE). Wikipedia doesn't need to keep images that aren't being used (there are 90,000+ orphaned images!) and I can't see where this image should be used, since there isn't much information about the image on the page. If it is a picture of you or something that is encyclopedic, then use it, on your userpage or elsewhere as appropriate. If you do nothing, it will likely be deleted Feb. 16th or later. Thank you. --MECU≈talk19:30, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.
If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only.
If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.
Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.
You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey
ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:BLHDA.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see
reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:15, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply
Poor quality file that is orphaned and would have no obvious value in transferring to Commons
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be
