Old Skool Esperanzial note
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. --Cel es tianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you!
''' Thank you, dear Aaron! ''' I'm truly sorry about the belated reply, but I really really wanted to thank you - your concern in my absence and your get-well wishes really mean a lot to me. The beautiful award you gave me has touched me deeply. I have taken note of the great deal of effort you've put in our WikiProject while I've been away. Now, more than ever, it is only because of you and a handful of special people that it has developed itself into a great community. Thank you, dear Aaron!

Today's Star shines upon...
  ...my dear Aaron, one of the greatest Wikipedians and brightest persons around, whose kindness, dedication and pride are simply inspiring. With all my gratitude for your friendship, your support and your help,  P h a e d r i e l 

Time for a Newsletter?
Dear Aaron, now that the Wikiproject is firmly established and most of the assessment work is well-developed, I've been thinking about making a Newsletter and send it to every member of the project. Perhaps inviting some of the most active members like Rockero and Skookum and preparing it at a temp page between all of us would be better, and then sending it to make sure the project remains as active as it currently is may be a good idea. What do you think? Big hugs,  Phædriel ♥  tell me   - 19:05, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * A month sounds great to me; it is a reasonable time to assess the progress made in the Project and ellaborate some guidelines based on the current needs and suggestions made at the Talk page, imho. Btw, dear Aaron, in case you have not seen, Lar has given us some advice at my Talk page; I believe we can benefit from that experience. Unfortunately, I'm kinda short of time these days, so I'll try to make a temp page for us to get started and ellaborate it when we can. Feel free to get the idea moving, if you wish! Big hug,  Phædriel ♥  tell me   - 18:28, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thank you Aaron for the award! I like contributing to articles just for the sake of knowledge, but your award makes it a bit more gratifing. I had no idea that there was an award system on wikipedia. Again thanks!--Manny 01:41, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update
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 Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Can you resize the image at all to make it in line with the other barnstars and awards? --evrik 20:41, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I think so.--Aaron Walden [[Image:Tsalagisigline.gif]] 21:57, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Great! --evrik 21:58, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Congrats, dear Aaron!
Excellent work on that award, dear Aaron! It looks great, and displays perfectly after the enhancements you made to it. Also, it appears as it will be approved at the Barnstars Proposals page, so here's to yet one more success of our WikiProject - all thanks to you! :)

Btw, I created a subpage to get the Newsletter going - right now, we need to be sure what to say, and we can work on the how later (layout, template, etc). I'll make sure to invite some members to tag along, but please feel free to start adding your thougts right away. I'll drop by during the weekend, you can be sure ;) Kisses,  Phædriel ♥  tell me   - 03:40, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Your work on the Newsletter
That's a great draft, dear Aaron, and I think there's very little we could add; maybe announcing the creation of Portal:Indigenous peoples of North America could be of interest too, what do you think? Maybe also writing a short resume of everything we've done so far could be in order, as this will be the first issue. As soon as we have agreed in the contents, I'll design a layout to format it and deliver it. Btw, what do you think of the revamp of the Project? I'm investing all my available time into migrating the comments, and it's quite a lot of work. I've been wanting to redesign the Open Tasks too, and maybe we should focus there before proceeding with the comments migration, as there's quite plenty of work to do (missing articles, revieeing the categories after these 6 months, commenting unassessed articles, etc.) As usual, great work! :) TTYL, and a big hug,  Phædriel   ♥   tell me  - 01:36, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Excelent, Aaron hun! The newsletter is ready, way to go! I'll now put some format to it, and it'll be ready for delivery in no time :) As soon as it is decently designed, we can simply transclude it on to the members' talk pages. Btw, you're more than welcome to step in and change and add stuff at the Portal - in fact, I'd be delighted if you did. Hugs, and congrats on a job well done!
