Administrator Coaching 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. Stressbusters 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!

Barnstars

		Lots of Barnstars
		Wow. I have recently met you on IRC, and you seem like a great person. I have looked at what all you have done, and you deserve so many barnstars. I'll do my best to do that here! So congrats at the six years, and hopefully to another six. Thank you for all your wiki contributions. Please do not be gone for too long!~Linuxerist E/L/T 02:30, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the barnstar as well! It will be here soon. I'm glad your stress is lowered, and happy editing! ~Linuxerist E/L/T 02:44, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Re:Trading spaces

Hey Whopper, thanks for starting work on my userpage, it's looking good so far. Just a few things in response to your question to guide your completion:

• I'd rather have my userboxes outside of one of those 'show' sections.
• You can put the 'What I do on Wikipedia' and 'To-do' sections into one of those 'show/hide' things, as they are more for my reference.
• I like the coloured Intro, Admin stuff, RFA, About, Contact boxes as you've done them :)
• Maybe make the 'What I do on Wikipedia' section colour scheme the same as the 'About me' box, as the lighter shade is easier on the eye.
• Oh and a final bit of vanity- now I've got my second barnstar could you create a new 'show/hide' section for 'Awards'?

Thank you again for your work, I look forward to seeing the final result! Cheers, Petros471 09:42, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Great, thanks :) Much better than anything I'd have come up with! I'm going to have a go at tweaking it a bit, I'll let you know if I need any help. Cheers, Petros471 08:08, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank You!

Have this star of HTML (that does not even compare to the quality of your designing;) for your excellent work on my user page. I love the new design! ~Linuxerist E/L/T 03:04, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hello!

First, I'd like to say that I'm studying for exams these days, so please be patient if I take a while to respond. Anyway, I like my main page, but my subpages are looking pretty, well, ugly. I can't seem to find a good look for them. I would like to keep my main page, it could be modified, but I want it to look generally the same. Mainly, I was looking for a better look for my subpages, something clean, and not loud or cluttered. I got my inspiration for my main page looking at User:RexNL's page, and I like his subpage design. Maybe something like that, but with a little more colour? Anyway, thanks for accepting my rennovation request! --digital_me_{(Talk)(Contribs)} 23:43, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

Civility

Regarding this edit: please do not threaten other users. WP:AGF requires that we be respectful to other users regardless of their actions. --InShaneee 03:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Regardless, that kind of language is not looked upon lightly. Please try to be more polite in the future. --InShaneee 19:11, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Idiot

Zhang Fei died before he reached Fan Castle. He drank heavily scolding his troops before they reached, which led to his assassination. He never even reached Fan Castle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.19.27.73 (talk • contribs) 20:41, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
