Welcomes

[edit]

Hi Sotomura, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 13:22, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

Welcome to Esperanza!

[edit]

Welcome, Sotomura, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the 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 Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support 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 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 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, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee , KnowledgeOfSelf, JoanneB, Titoxd and FireFox. The elections have ended.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me via email or talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be!

Thanks! - File:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 23:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now Celestianpower I'd know a little about. Am I supposed to add that little subpage now? --Anthony Jake La (Tetsuya-san; talk : contribs) 23:41, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

== Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1

==
Reach out is a program aimed at allowing users to bring issues that they have had in Wikipedia to a listening, sympathetic and caring audience:
"No one can know how we feel if we do not say. We cannot expect to get understanding if we do not ask for it. No one will dispute that sometimes life's issues are too much for one person. It is fair to say that sometimes Wikipedia's problems fall under the same heading. This is a place where you can bring the bruises that can sometimes be got on this project for attention."
The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them.
Note from the editor
Welcome to this new format of the Esperanza Newsletter, which came about during the last Advisory Council meeting - we hope you like it! The major changes are that each month, right after the Council meeting, this will be sent out and will include two featured programs and a sum up of the meeting. Also, it will be signed by all of the Advisory Council members, not just Celestianpower. Have an Esperanzial end of March, everyone!
  1. Future meetings are to be held monthly, not fortnightly as before.
  2. Bans and Access level changes (apart from autovoice) in the IRC channel are to be reported at the new log.
  3. In the IRC channel, there is going to be only one bot at a time.
  4. The charter requires members to have 150 edits and 2 weeks editing. Why this is the case will be clarified.
  5. A new Code of Conduct will be drafted by JoanneB and proposed to the Esperanza community.
  6. The NPA reform idea is to be dropped officially.
  7. Charter ammendments are to be discussed in future, not voted on.
  8. The Advisory Council is not going to be proposed to be expanded by the Advisory Council themselves, if others want to propose it, they will listen.
Signed...

Path of Radiance

[edit]

I don't own the game, but just by looking at the article you can see there are no interwiki links in the introduction or descriptions of anyone (except for one or two).--Zxcvbnm 22:51, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Yeah, I'll see about allowing the article to give a better understanding. --Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 06:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You took out my Mewtwo comment about the cave!!

[edit]

Why would you take out my mewtwo (the one with the cave) comment. You should not have done that!! There was no good reason to take it out!!

For the reason that it wasn't really confirmed. Do you have a PokéDex entry that supports that claim? Hearing it would be a very good thing. --Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 06:02, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #2

[edit]
The Barnstar Brigade is a new program aimed at giving more very deserving yet unappreciated users barnstars. It will officially start on 2006-04-09, but signing up is encouraged before this date:
"Here in Wikipedia, there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go un-appreciated. 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 un-noticed. Sadly, these editors often leave the project. As Esperanzians, we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. A project the size of Wikipedia has thousands of editors, so there are plenty of people out there who deserve recognition, one just has to find them. The object of this program is not to flood editors with Barnstars, but to seek out people who deserve them, and make them feel appreciated."
The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them.
Information
Welcome to the second issue of the new format Esperanza Newsletter - we hope you still like it! This week, it was delivered diligently by our new dogsbody. MiszaBot (run by Misza13): any execution complaints should go to him. Content comments should be directed at the Esperanza talkpage. Thanks!
  1. The next elections: Approval voting as before and, also as before, an previous leadership member can run. Please submit your name for voting in the relevant section of this page. Voting starts on 2006-04-23 and ends on 2006-04-30. There will be three places up for grabs as KnowledgeOfSelf is leaving Wikipedia. Please see the previously linked page for full details.
  2. The Code of Conduct is now ready for extensive discussion! Specific comments should go to the Code of Conduct talk page, discussion of having one at all should be directed to the main Esperanza talk page.
  3. The current process for accepting proposals for new programs has been deemed fine. All Advisory Council members and the Admin Gen are to endevour to be bold when viewing discussion. If they feel that consensus has been reached, they will act accordingly.
A plea from the editor...
The propsed programs page is terribly underused! Please leave any comments, good or bad, on the page, to help us determine the membership's thoughts on the ideas there.
Signed...

Elections

[edit]
Esperanza elections
Thanks for supporting me in the Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. Although I wasn't elected to the Advisory Council, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was shocked at the support, and was touched by it. Hopefully I will re-apply in June and try again for the job. Thanks again, Highway Rainbow Sneakers

I'm confused.

[edit]

Hello, Tetsuya-san. I'm confused about the Shuckle article. What is the point of the template if the links do not work? All the links, except the Pokemon.com one, bring up 404 messages on the websites. Can you please explain this to me?

dposse 23:59, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The template is supposed to be "subst" into the article. Where ever you see the silly {{{1}}}{{{3}}} and stuff in the article, that's when the article IS NOT subst. That is a task for you to do by yourself. See the Template:Pokerefs page for further information. --Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 06:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Old Skool Esperanzial note

[edit]

Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Celestianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

[edit]
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, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!
  1. Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel.
  2. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect.
  3. 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.
  4. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop.
  5. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon.

Certificate

[edit]

Certificate

This certificate has been awarded to Tetsuya-san (talk) for editing so many Pokémon articles

As my thanks, I award you this certificate on 19:55, 8 June 2006 (UTC).


I Love Minun (talk)

Please continue your hard work on the Pokémon-articles and help out whenever possible

Thanks

Do you need help?

[edit]

Hello Sotomura, would you like me to help you with any articles, because I would be glad to help you work on any article you want, especially Pokémon articles. I would gladly fix stubs, clean up articles, expand sections, or anything else. Im also trying to help stop vandalism. If you would like me to do anything for you, leave a message on my talk page, thanks Cute Minun (Talk) 19:12, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A short Esperanzial update

[edit]

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, —Celestianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

August Esperanza Newsletter

[edit]
Program Feature: To-Do List
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.
  1. 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!
  2. The In development section of the proposals page has been created.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
  6. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign.

Trademarks

[edit]

Hello. I have noticed on the talk pages for Palkia and Dialga that you referenced a site that showed the trademarks for their names. I was wondering if there is a U.S. site like that as well. I tried to do a search, but could not find what I wanted. I want to be able to see which U.S. companies hold trademarks to video game characters as well. Thank you for your time. -SaturnYoshi THE VOICES 03:33, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe so. I've never seen any American site so open like that. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 03:36, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

November Esperanza Newsletter

[edit]
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 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.

Paragraph in Diamond and Pearl article

[edit]

I noticed you readded a deleted paragraph. It was rather redundant to do so - I merged only the necessary stuff in the Gameplay paragraph where the rest were repeated. May I ask that you rectify this? - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 11:45, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I'm just collecting your consensus here. One of the paragraphs you "restored" also seemingly contained some OR. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 11:49, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well that’s just it. One of your reasons for deleting it was OR, but I didn’t see any OR, just something unreferenced, so I restored it and added the reference with the relevant info( which was already used elsewhere, so I just linked it to the existing ref tag). --WikidSmaht (talk) 06:50, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The other reason is that it was in two different paragraphs, and it was repeated. Not only that, but as per my edit summary, some of the information in the paragraph did not meet what was said in the sources. Sounds a bit like OR to me. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 10:04, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Precisely which information are you referring to? I don’t mean to be difficult, but you need to be more specific. --WikidSmaht (talk) 10:11, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify.

[edit]

Clarifying on what I said since I usually don't make full messages in an edit summary, bots and people using AWB to make edits usually separate the sections out. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 04:42, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t see why I would care what bots and the AWB do? Not being a smart ass, I really don’t get it. Neither speaks for Wikipedia in any official capacity. Plus, that statement seems inaccurate, I’ve seen plenty of bot and AWB edits which do no such thing. Btw, I hate the AWB. It doesn’t work for me, last I tried, and I’ve seen it “correct” too many things which were fine the way they were. Actually, those spaces most often come from section edits, because the blank line that always occurs at the end of an edit box gets interpretted that way when submitted.
But anyway, that’s a minor side issue, my reversion was mainly made for the edit summary, with which I intended to draw your attention to Talk:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, where I clarified my edit summary comment that “Romanization ‘source’ link doesn’t work.”. Obviously this was fruitless, as you haven’t replied there. Please do. --WikidSmaht (talk) 19:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

[edit]

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, I didn't see the links above and the space was unintentional. Tennis DyNamiTe (sign here) 22:49, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I suspect the space is added by Wikipedia itself. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 00:31, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This notice is to inform you that because many people have added their names to Wikipedia:WikiProject Pokémon#Participants but do not seem to be active, all names are being deleted in an effort to find out who is still truly interested in the project. All you have to do is re-add your name if you'd still like to be considered a member of WP:POKE. Any questions, you can contact me on my talk page. -ΖαππερΝαππερ BabelAlexandria 17:46, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fansites

[edit]

Just a general note, looking at your contribs, no articles in particular. Wikipedia "policy" does not say no to fansites explicitly. The rule is no fansites for sources. Fansites are allowed, just not long lists of fan sites. Just remember to leave a more clear edit summary as to why you're removing external links instead of just "wikipedia says no". My best regards.

True. I'll keep a bit less hold to WP:EL then. - Sotomura (Tetsuya-san) (yell : see) 05:23, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:AG110-Juan.jpg)

[edit]
⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:AG110-Juan.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Jay32183 20:07, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use disputed for Image:Diamond and Pearl Japanese PokéDex View.gif

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Diamond and Pearl Japanese PokéDex View.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:15, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The list of participants of the Pokémon WikiProject is quite sizable, however, there is no way to determine which of whom are active contributors to that project. All participants in the list have been moved to Inactive. If you consider yourself to be an active member of the Pokémon WikiProject, please go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Pokémon#Participants and move your username to the Active section. Thank you.

Please update your status with WP:VG

[edit]

Dear WikiProject Video games member,

You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or {{User WPVG}} somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Wikipedia in recent months.

The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.

All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:

Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

Thanks for that. I've been working on that article for forever and never noticed that. I'm quite certain I even edited the sentence in question, quite a while ago, and never notice that redundancy. Jeh (talk) 20:27, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
