Hello Yueni and
welcome to
Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- To sign your posts (on
talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
- Try the
Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the
test area.
- If you need
help, post a question at the
Help Desk
- Follow the
Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset
- Eventually, you might want to read the
Manual of Style and
Policies and Guidelines.
- Remember
Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
- Explore,
be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Good luck!

People are trying to delete
Lunar Anime again, again on the basis of notability and self-promotion. If they had issues with copyrights, I'd try to argue about my view but wouldn't mind that much if the article was deleted, but I have a real problem with people trying to delete an article on the basis of notability, without knowing anything on the subject of the article (by that I mean anime in general, none of those users who voted delete seem to be interested in anime). Please review the case (don't mind if you vote delete too, as long as you provide a basis). --

Yes this is true, which I'm truly sorry about. This is a shared account between me and my younger brother, which I take full responsibility for. So if there's something that can be done to avoid any unnecessary trouble please tell me. Should I revert the actions, and take down pictures or will my account be banned? --
Yllianos
- Thanks for your prompt reply. If you can remove the image from the Wikipedia servers, that would be wonderful. Your account won't be banned, though if you could double check to make sure that all the images that have been uploaded either by you or your younger brother do not violate any copyright, as well as any edits that have been done. --

Hey, thanks for the barn star. You actually reminded me of how little I contribute to Naruto now :D I contributed quite a bit more in the past, but my focus has been on
Bleach lately. Thanks again, and I will try to keep current with all of the pages that I watch.

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on
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.
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
JoanneB and
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, —

The
Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential!

In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the
In development section of the
proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs.
|
To improve both the layout and text of the
front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to
Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas.

- In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at
Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed!
- The
In development section of the proposals page has been created.
-
Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been
archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program,
General Esperanzial Actions has been created.
- Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at
Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter.
- Until cooperation with the
Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
- There is a page for discussing the
front page redesign.

Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors!

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.

I've nominated
Plot of Naruto, an article you created, for
deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that
Plot of Naruto satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and the
Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Plot of Naruto (2nd nomination) and please be sure to
sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of
Plot of Naruto during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,
