== Welcome to Esperanza! ==


<div style="padding: 5px; background: #EEFFEE; border: 2px solid #CCFFCC;">
[[Image:Esperanza-short.PNG|left]]Welcome, Hezzy, to [[Wikipedia:Esperanza|Esperanza]], the [[Wikipedia]] member association! As you might know, all the [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members|Esperanzians]] share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Charter|Charter]], the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Programs|programs]]. A quite important program is the [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/StressUnit|StressUnit]], which seeks to support [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Alerts|editors who have encountered any stress]] from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We have a [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Calendar|calendar]] of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Possibles|Esperanza/Possibles]]. 

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, [[User:Celestianpower|Celestianpower]], and guided by the Advisory Committee, [[User:Titoxd|Titoxd]], [[User:JoanneB|JoanneB]], and [[User:Freakofnurture|Freakofnurture]].

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me by [[User talk:GHe|my talk page]], [[User:Celestianpower|Celestianpower]] by [[Special:Emailuser/Celestianpower|email]] or [[User talk:Celestianpower|talk page]], or the [[Wikipedia talk:Esperanza|Esperanza talk page]]. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users on our IRC channel, [irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-esperanza #wikipedia-esperanza] (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, please see the [[Wikipedia:IRC tutorial|IRC Tutorial]], which was written by one of our members. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be!

Thanks!<b>&nbsp;[[User:GHe|<font color="blue">G</font>]].[[User talk:GHe|<font color="#666666">H</font>]][[User:GHe/Esperanza|<font color="green">e</font>]]</b> 16:28, 27 May 2006 (UTC)</div>

Hi Hezzy!<br>
[[Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Snail-WA]] seems to be getting into a bit of a bog. Could you please specify which version your vote goes for? This will help to reach a consensus on which version to promote. Thanks! --[[User:Fir0002|Fir0002]] 10:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, 

Thank you for supporting the recent [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/United States|FAC]] of ''[[United States]]'', but unfortunately it failed to pass. However, I hope you will vote again in the future. In the mean time, please accept this [[Mooncake]] as a token of my gratitude.--[[User:Ryz05|Ryz05]] <sub>[[User talk:Ryz05|<font color = "Red">t</font>]]</sub> 15:40, 11 June 2006 (UTC)</div>

== A short Esperanzial update ==

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on [[WT:ESP|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. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AEsperanza%2FCharter&diff=59977509&oldid=52572171 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 [[User:JoanneB|JoanneB]] and [[User:Pschemp|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 [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections]].

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, &mdash;[[user:Celestianpower|Cel]][[User:Celestianpower/Esperanza|<span style="color:green;">es</span>]][[User:Celestianpower|tianpower]] <sup>[[user talk:Celestianpower|háblame]]</sup> 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Hezzy, I noticed you founded the WikiProject Atheism at [[Wikiproject Atheism]]. I wanted to alert you to the fact that I moved the page to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Atheism]], because it belongs in the project (Wikipedia:) namespace. I also capitalized the 'P' or WikiProject as is standard. Good luck with your Project! --'''[[User:Fbv65edel|Fbv]]'''[[User:Fbv65edel|65]]''[[User:Fbv65edel/Esperanza|<span style="color:green;">e</span>]][[User:Fbv65edel|del]]'' / [[User_talk:Fbv65edel|&#9745;t]] / [[Special:Contributions/Fbv65edel|&#9755;c]] || 17:43, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

:Hezzy, I nabbed this nifty info box from the Digimon wikiproject, we could turn it into a good tool. Right now it has digimon stuff on it, but that can give us ideas, and help us out. Heres the template: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Somerset219/sandbox]]. If you could tell as many people as possible, that would be great.

:Hi Hezzy, I am dropping you a note to inform you that I have closed your request for adminship early as I think everything had been said that was going to be said (there was no point in it becoming a pile-on). I hope you are not too disappointed about the outcome. I would suggest that you read throught the comments made by other editors before running again, these  comments will really help you in a future request. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Yours, [[User:Rje|Rje]] 03:17, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by [[User:HighwayCello|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.

== Expert Advice ==

Hi Hezzy, I am a graduate design student doing a case-study of Wikipedia. I am trying to collect input from users with a high level of involvement like yourself. My goal is to take Wikipedia's design into an experimental direction, one that would assist users and community involvement. I would be greatful, if you have a moment, if you could provide me with some suggestions that would improve the web site design in your opinion. Thank You.[[User:Graphixmdp|Graphixmdp]] 23:30, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

==Wikiproject Automobiles Notification==
Hi Hezzy, you were on the list of members at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles|WikiProject Automobiles]] and we are introducing a new way of listing members, as the old list was becoming too long. Our new method involves having all of our members in a category.

To add yourself to the category just add the userbox to your user page by putting '''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Wiki Auto Project|Wiki Auto Project]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>''' where you want the userbox. Alternatively if you don't like the userbox you can add '''<nowiki>[[Category:WikiProject Automobiles members|Hezzy]]</nowiki>''' to your userpage.

If you no longer wish to be a member of the project, simply don't add the userbox or category, there's no pressure.

==July 2007 GAC backlog elimination drive==
A new elimination drive of the backlog at  [[Wikipedia:Good article candidates]]  will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit [[Wikipedia:Good article candidates backlog elimination drive]] and record the articles that you have reviewed.  Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{tl|GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the [[WP:WIAGA|GA criteria]] may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either  via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art]], a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the [[Los Angeles County Museum of Art]] (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art]]. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there! <span style="font-family:Verdana; ">'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C;">howcheng</span>]]'''  <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 23:58, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

==GA Sweeps invitation==
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force/Sweeps|GA sweeps process]]'''. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force/Sweeps/Running total|running total]]''' has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force/Sweeps worklist|new worklist]]''' has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force/Sweeps|GA sweeps page]]. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force/Sweeps worklist|list]], and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or [[User:OhanaUnited|OhanaUnited]] and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!
