[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia

Hello DarknessLord, and welcome to Wikipedia! Here are some recommended guidelines to help you get involved. Please feel free to contact me if you need help with anything. Best of luck and happy editing!

[edit] Welcome to Esperanza!

Welcome, DarknessLord, 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, #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!

[edit] Re: Hey

[[User:DarknessLord|Darkness]][[User:DarknessLord/Esperanza|<font color="green">Lord</font>]]

Copy this signature and put it in place of your signature under preferences. Click on "raw signature" and save. If you want to change the color of the word "Darkness" put a <font color="color"> before it and a </font> after it. The word color in quotes is where you would pick the color you want. Make sure you keep the quotation marks.

Example: If you wanted the word "Darkness" to be black, this would be your signature...
[[User:DarknessLord|<font color="black">Darkness</font>]][[User:DarknessLord/Esperanza|<font color="green">Lord</font]]

And it would look like this: DarknessLord

And thank you for the update on Pokémon! -SaturnYoshi ^{THE VOICES} 21:25, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you and your welcome. DarknessLord | T | C 01:08, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A heads up

I have a crazy feeling that User:A Man In Black might revert all of our work on the Legendary Pokémon page. Starting tomorrow, I suppose. Hopefully not, but damn! That was a lot of work! -SaturnYoshi ^{THE VOICES} 06:04, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

When I was online last night I saw on my watchlist that he thought that the page looked terrible, and that he was going to do something about it. -SaturnYoshi ^{THE VOICES} 20:13, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Waaaa!!... It took me forever to upload those images. And for you to add all the colors, and for me to change the font colors in the group boxes to black. Now I have a bunch of sprites in my sandbox that I can't do anything with. -SaturnYoshi ^{THE VOICES} 21:11, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I KNOW! Look what I've added to the talk page... it makes me so angry I just wanna keep re-adding everything until Man in Black just STOPS! DarknessLord | T | C 21:14, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

It wasn't scolding, but you hit the nail on the head. It's okay, we can fix the page. We just don't need images and tables anymore. -SaturnYoshi ^{THE VOICES} 22:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

And virtually everything else that doesn't fit his bill. DarknessLord | T | C 00:09, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza

I had noticed that someone had mistakenly removed your name from the membership list, so I took the liberty of re-adding it to the list, myself. Hopefully nobody will throw a fit over it. Take care. -SaturnYoshi ^{THE VOICES} 05:03, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adopting

Man, adopt him! I already have an adopted user. :) NCurse _work 05:52, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Okay then. :P DarknessLord | T | C 12:15, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Untitled

You can't be all the bending types, who do you think you are, the Avatar? H2P 18:33, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes I can be all bending types, I am an Avatar of the Wikipedia dimension.DarknessLord 22:31, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

You know, this whole bending types thing could have been its own section. I'll do that now. DarknessLord 21:01, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Fair Use Image"

Sorry, I forgot my password, but this is the Runescape Junkie. Anyways, what do you mean by deleting the fair use image? And what images are they? Cheers - 207.108.179.160 22:44, 23 October 2006 (UTC) (The Runescape Junkie, logged off)

Well, since I can't remember my password, I can't remove them, as it would be considered "vandalism," so I don't know what to do... But seriously, I can't believe that breaches Florida law... would that apply to me if I was in Utah? 207.108.179.160 21:29, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes! I remembered my password! Anyways, I'll be sure to take the pictures off, but this Florida law thing is kinda stupid... Cheers! The RSJ _{300 million and still going strong!} 23:19, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Ah yes, you took it off for me. Thanks for taking it off and thanks for the warning! Cheers! The RSJ _{300 million and still going strong!} 23:20, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and I just read the 'pedians who visited my page... I feel great (lol)! Thanks... The RSJ _{300 million and still going strong!} 01:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wiki Gangsta Rap

Do you mind if I make a few changes? bibliomaniac15 03:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:Holic test

Hello Darkness Lord. I was just wondering why you had two scores on the Wikipediholic test. You probably forgot to erase the earlier one, so I thought I'd remind you. | AndonicO Talk 13:48, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza User Page Award

Congratulations, DarknessLord, you have been nominated for the Esperanza User Page Contest! The judges have received the fifteen entries, and are ready to start judging. The judges will take a week to complete the judging process, and they will contact all the participants when the judging is done.

Please drop by the contest page for contest updates and questions. Take care, and good luck! Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 09:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your Userpage

Hi there! I noticed that your page has an image made by Redvers on it. Just a note to make sure you have asked Redvers as I think he may have made it for his own Userpage. Thanks! --Ali K 09:56, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Okay, sorry if it is an inconvience --Ali K 22:40, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

The image is without copyright, so feel free to use it. But if you'd like a unique "welcome" graphic creating for you, I'd be happy to oblige. Just ask. Cheers! ➨ ЯEDVERS 20:00, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and whilst I'm passing... you're using images in your signature. We really don't like this as it is murder on the servers and also creates layout problems. Would you like to remove the images and perhaps simplify your signature as the code takes up a lot of edit window too. Thanks! ➨ ЯEDVERS 20:03, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Cool! Thanks for that! And here's something in return... ➨ ЯEDVERS 20:16, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/DarknessLord

I've just closed your RfA as you had withdrawn. I don't believe that you will achieve consensus on this run, so why not take the advice given and go back in two or three months' time? Let me know if you do want to reopen your RfA! (aeropagitica) 22:39, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

You can't delete it as A)you're not an admin and B) these pages are kept for future reference if you ever decide to re-RfA again. I'll close it as per procedure. Please indicate on the above page that you explicitly withdraw with something like I withdraw this nomination +signature. Regards, (aeropagitica) 22:45, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article about Wikipedia Users

Hello,

I am a freelance writer working on an article about the wide array of people who make Wikipedia their life, their passion, their pastime. Wikipedia “addicts” if you will. I’m looking for people just willing to tell their story of how they got sucked into the intellectual whirlwind that is Wikipedia; how you got started editing, how the obsession grew, and what you spend your time focusing on these days? Do you write articles from scratch? Is your main push toward one particular type of article? Do you patrol for typos and errors, or spend your time diligently fixing vandalism? Do you take part in the “social aspects” of Wikipedia; engaging in animated discussions or decorating your user page with all sorts of internet memes? Have you ever forced yourself to take a “Wikipedia break”? If so, what’s your 20/20 hindsight on the obsession? Basically I’m just trying to get an idea of what it’s like for various Wikipedia “addicts.” If you are interested in participating, please email me at brianwrites@gmail.com

If anybody else, other than this user is interested in participating, feel free to email me as well. This article is intended to be a light informational piece, nothing too heavy or controversial, just merely introducing readers to a subculture that they likely had no idea existed. So please don’t email me with your conspiracy theories, or your grudge against the Wikipedia hierarchy… unless it directly applies to your overall experience with the site. This article is about the USERS, not about the pros and cons of the site itself.

Thanks,
