I have to leave now. I may never comeback. I no longer have the time to contribute to wikipedia. Thank you for those who had helped me here in the past. Goodbye. :-(
Welcome to my Normal Talk Page. Please leave your message at the bottom of this page. Remember to sign your comments. Thanks.
Thank you for your neutral vote in my RFA, which succeeded with a final tally of 66-0-4. Even though you didn't support me, I appreciate your involvement. If there's anything I can help you with now that I'm an admin, please let me know on my talk page. Again, thanks! Mangojuicetalk21:47, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
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!
What's New?
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.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
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have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived.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.
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.
What? Why is it time for you to leave?! :( I hope that you reconsider, but I also hope that everything is okay, and that nothing bad is causing you to leave... let me know what is up! -- Natalya18:03, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry that you're leaving Wikipedia, but I'm more sorry about what happened to your sister. I know that this will sound trite at a time like this, but I hope that things improve for the both of you. In the short time I have known you, you have been nothing but a kind person. Please take care. --Tachikoma21:17, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Good luck, and my best wishes to you. I also wanted to apologise for reading your message on Natalya's talk page. As I told her, I realise that talk pages can be viewed by anyone, but I ordinarily won't peruse other people's messages except in the case of vandalism or user stress. Again, I hope everything turns out OK. --Tachikoma16:43, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
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!
What's New?
September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves!
Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there!
The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself!
The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it!
TangoTango has written a script for a bot that will list new members of Esperanza, which will help those who welcome new Esperanzains greatly!

Thank you for your kindness, compassion and humour, three qualities which the Wikipedia can always use more of. As a "journeyman" editor, not involved with any projects or themes per say, I appreciate you giving me recognition for my edits and my first barnstar under the Folksong account. I hope and pray with my entire existence for love, peace and serenity to follow you in the world, whereever you might be.--Folksong00:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
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 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.
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.

I find that your departure from the Wikipedia project ahs been very sad to accept. This is yet another departure of those who made this project worthwhile, because of your warmth and happiness towards many of our users. This is highly disappointing, as you were yone of the best users that this Wikipedia has ever seen
I hope you will understand my points and I also hope that you shall have a nice life away from the wiki,
Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly.
The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported.
If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here.
Hi Anonymous anonymous, I don't know if you remember me, but I certainly remember you. I had been using the name "Tachikoma" rather than my real name when we last met. I hope you and your sister are doing better than the last time we corresponded. I understand if you won't be coming back to Wikipedia, and I want to assure you that you'll always be welcome should you ever decide to return. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and that the coming year is better than 2006 was for you. --Kyoko22:41, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Bad Bill Tucker pointed you out to me. There is a huge hole in Wikipedia articles related to Mental Health, but not necessarily psychology. These are from more of a peer perspective. Would you be interested in Wikiproject Mental Health if I started it? Thanks for your response, NinaOdell | Talk04:06, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is the article's third nomination (see the previousones), and because you voted or commented on one of the previous nominations, I'd like to invite you to voice your opinion about the current state of the article, be it as a vote or a comment, on the article's nomination page.
Hi MJ, I wanted to wish you a Happy First Edit Day, even though you probably won't see this immediately if ever. Even though you are away from Wikipedia, we do still remember you and we hope that you and your family are doing better. Best wishes, --Kyoko00:32, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Anonymous anonymous! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 7 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons.

In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 3 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Hi everyone. First of all, I would like to apologise for not replying after so many years. I'm surprised that I haven't forgotten my password!
Anyway, I'm glad that, within the space of a decade, Wikipedia has grown so much.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be staying for good due to other hobbies and commitments.
Best of luck to everyone here.
