The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
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,

Posting logs of
the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel.
A disclaimer is going to be added to the
Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect.
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.
Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop.
Thanks! :) If I may persist, though, RoadRunner is an ISP—also, it reads "direct allocation" and "non-portable". If I'm reading something wrong, it will help me in the future to know that. Thanks again.

While Steveo2 is gone, I will take his place as Current Leader. If you have any comments, ideas, or any questions feel free to contact me.
Mr. Turcottetalk
We added a second First Edit Day Template a few weeks ago. We have also added four Happy Adminship templates in the past few days as well. Be sure to wish users a First Edit Birthday and Adminship anniversary. The users and their dates can be found on the Esperanza Calendar on the Project Page. Enjoy.

Many thanks to
Draicone for adding headers to our Birthday Committee pages. They look wonderful!

Remember the rules for new birthday templates. You only need my approval if the template is drastically different from the ones already existing. (Just to be clear, I realize I have no right to dictate which templates you can make and keep. However, only the ones I approve will appear on the
Wikipedia:Birthday Committee page.) While Steveo2 is gone you have to get my approval.Mr. Turcottetalk
If you'd like, you may post on this bulletin board. It's found on
Template:BDC Bulletin 1. You may use it to suggest new policy changes, or anything else you think is too important to only go on the talk page. Sign all announcements that you add.
Mr. Turcottetalk
Everyone is doing an excellent job wishing people a happy birthday and getting the word of our committee out. Thanks everyone!
Mr. Turcottetalk
As we reach 140 members wished by committee members, I'd like to point out that we're only limited by the number of people listing their birthday on the Esparanza calendar. So shouldn't we focus on encouraging users to add their important dates, so that our 15 odd members (and any new ones, like me!) have enough work to go round? --

File:Pikachu plastic toy.JPGMe relaxing...Request for Adminship
Thank you for supporting/objecting/tropicanising me in
my request for Adminship. Although I wasn't promoted to admin status, with a final vote count of 14/27/12, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was pleasantly suprised at the support, and was touched by it. I will also work harder on preventing disputes and boosting my edit count (which is on the up), so thank you to all your objectors. Hopefully I will re-apply soon and try again for the mop. Thanks again,

Hey Tdxiang, I will be renovating your user page. I see you're away for exams until the 22nd. I will be taking exams fairly soon as well, but they won't be taking up so much of my time that I'll be away from Wikipedia. Anyway, please let me know what you're interested in having on your page and I'll start formulating some ideas. This should be fun! :-) --Fbv65edel(

Nope, don't worry about keeping me waiting. The only thing is I'll be taking a vacation from 9 June to 25 June, so we might even have to postpone it until after that, since I've got finals all this week and next. But it will get done! --Fbv65edel(

Master of Puppets has bopped you on the top with a mop! Bops promote not only
WikiLove, but also steady loss of brain cells! Hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the Moppage by bopping someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend, and help
the chief Mop achieve his goal of world domination. Happy editing! And to spread the Moppage, just use {{
subst:
User:Master of Puppets/Bop|<you>}} replacing <you> with your username. Happy editing!

The count is in, and now I join the crew who wield the mops and pails.
Thanks for your support! I pledge to serve both you and Jimbo Wales.
If you have anything you need, then please don't think to hesitate.
For I am the very model of a grateful admin designate!
Hey! That makes us Wikitwins! :o) Have a nice time at camp and I'll see you when you get back. HB2U for 23/5, too! ➨
