Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome, SergeantBolt, to Esperanza! 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 should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, 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 will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, 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/Proposals.
If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, [irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-esperanza #wikipedia-esperanza] (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!
:I came to greet you as well. Welcome to Esperanza. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but Wp is no myspace, and your user page looks awful in decent browsers due to all the broken HTML in here. I hope I've not offended you, but instead give you something to consider. Again, welcome. --Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves/Saoshyant talk / contribs 15:00, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
RfA
(copying message from my talkpage): Hello, Elonka. I have been pondering this for a while now, and I was wondering if you would object to me submitting an RfA for you - you are a wonderful user! SergeantBolt (t,c) 14:43, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
: Thanks very much for the vote of confidence! And I may take you up on this, as I've definitely been pondering adminship for awhile now. However, I'm also in discussion with a couple other people about such a nomination, though I don't know whether they actually have time to process a proper one at the moment. So, would it be alright with you if I checked with them first, and then I'll get back to you? Also, have you ever done an RfA nomination before, yourself? --Elonka 10:08, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
::No, Elonka, I have not subitted an RfA before however I understand the process perfectly after watching so many. You need not be worried! And yes, that's fine - it can wait! SergeantBolt (t,c) 21:32, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
::: Thanks for understanding! I did go ahead and check with the other individual, but he said that he's going to be busy with other things for the next few weeks. Or in other words, yes, I thank you for your offer and would be glad to accept your nomination. Let's go ahead and do this! :) --Elonka 07:23, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you again for the nomination. Though the majority of respondents in the discussion were in support, in the end, it was not deemed to be sufficient to prove consensus, and the nomination was unsuccessful. I do, however, very much appreciate the time that you invested in the nomination process, and found the discussion very worthwhile and instructive. Thanks again! --Elonka 06:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
