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)

Blanked Talk:List of characters from EastEnders?

Please express your reasons for blanking Talk:List of characters from EastEnders. The Neokid 21:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Jimbo received an email that claimed that some of the content of the talk page was libellous. The email was not particularly clear about the exact nature of the problem, and the simplest course of action seemed to be blanking the page. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 22:35, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Hehe, well made :) — FireFox • T • 13:49, 5 February 2006

Please read Misplaced Pages:WikiProject

I've noticed that you've been creating a lot of pages in the Misplaced Pages namespace. Of course I assume you have the best intentions, but you may be creating a lot of pages that do not get used. For example, you created Misplaced Pages:Helping Hand Group only last month, and already you've marked it as inactive! I would recommend holding off on creating new projects until you see a need for one (i.e., you would be creating a page for something many people are already doing), and you are absolutely sure that it is not redundant.

Also, some of the pages you've created are rather non-standard. The Misplaced Pages:Wikihalo administration page is largely unnecessary--we generally don't appoint different positions for projects because there's not really a need for them. We want projects to be open and to be able to change and evolve over time, and Misplaced Pages is led by consensus of the group. (See WP:OWN).

Of course, being bold is always encouraged, however I think you would do well to discuss things like this at the Village Pump first just to get a few others' opinions. ~MDD4696 00:04, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I am aware that 2 of the projects are inactive, and this is probably because not many people know about them. I have no idea how to tell people about it without spamming. On another note, there is only administration for the Wikihalo project so that it does not go off on a tangent and that there are always people to break up any edit wars etc. The Neokid - Wikihalo Guiding Director talk 18:01, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

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,

Thank you

Thanks for the Barnstar, Neokid! :) I usually use #wikipedia-en-vandalism for combating vandalism. Regards, Sango123 (talk) 21:30, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

That's fine. I think I might have to try out this #wikipedia-en-vandalism thing. The Neokid - Wikihalo Guiding Director talk 21:37, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

So, like, why do you want to welcome someone whose only contribution was to vandalize a user page? --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 22:40, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Heh, no problem. I'm used to people relying on me for one thing or another :) — FireFox • T • 16:03, 19 February 2006

It's because I have sold my soul to the dark Lord, to whom I must always answer.

But thanks for the flowers :)
