Klein Collins High School

Remember this? [1]

Well, I decided to re-establish Klein Collins High School as a real article. WhisperToMe 00:29, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

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.

Addiction

Could you please temporarily block me from editing from today to 16 November? I think I'm a wikipediholic, and I have exams next week, as I have very little self discipline. ~ EmeZxX ` 09:41, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Crazy Article

Hello! In the Crazy article users have added songs which are titled "Crazy" only. I agree with them. Since I want to add the songs "Let's Go Crazy" and "Crazy You" by Prince & "(You Drive Me) Crazy" by Britney Spears but since the titles of these songs have other words besides "Crazy" I made a "See also" section in the article. The "See also" section was deleted by user "Fritz Saalfeld"; I wrote in the user's talk page my reasons for adding a "See also" section and the user replied in my talk page his point of view. Could you please give me your opinion about this? Thanks!

Janjua help required

Hey,

You may not remember me, but you were involved in an article dispute a year ago, where your help was much appreciated. I hope you are well. I have a big request for your fair and honest aid. I am currently dealing with a POV'ist on the Tanoli article. He is persistently revert warring to the point I have let this article remain POV even though it has very wierd and unsourced, uncited info (as opposed to the cited and sourced info I initially wrote the article with!). Problem is that he is now trying to revert war on the main page of Janjua where the Tanoli are mentioned as a minor sub tribe. I agree that Tanoli is a now not ethnically linked to Janjuas but there is a portion that claims it (as we Janjuas likewise also acknowledge them) as a paternally linked tribe. He's very stubborn and now becoming quite abusive with personal attacks which are beginning to escalate. Can you help on the Janjua discussion page please? I'm approaching you with a good faith that if I am asked to concede anything, I will gladly accept your opinion/action where offered.--Raja 23:05, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Interview for Wikipedia Weekly?

Hi!

You may or may not be aware of the Wikipedia Weekly podcast, which is now approaching its eighth weekly episode, on which I'm a regular presenter. This episode, we'd like to cover the Esperanza dispute now that the dust has had time to settle, and would very much like for you to come on the show to talk to us about it. We'll also be inviting a few other representatives of Esperanza, and User:Robth to provide an opposing view.

All that would be required are a microphone, a reasonably fast internet connection, and a free copy of Skype. We'll likely be recording at around 1500 UTC on Saturday, although feel free to suggest an alternative time if this wouldn't suit you. You can also join us in #wikipediaweekly on FreeNode prior to the podcast. Thanks for your time, and I hope you can join us on the weekend. :) Daveydweeb (^chat/_review!) 00:53, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

No mic, sorry. — FireFox (talk) 17:06, 30 November 2006
