Admin coaching
Hi Ral!
On the recent Esperanza MFD (which was deleted successfully, BTW), you !voted delete, with the comment "Admin coaching isn't worth a keep (it's an RFA helper, not an adminship helper)". Admin coaching was one of the few programs which was not deleted.
Because I am an active admin coach, and because I would like to see this program be successful, I'm requesting feedback from you on ways in which Admin Coaching might improve. Your above comment indicates you believe admin coaching doesn't help a candidate learn about adminship (using the buttons, etc), just helps them during RFA.
Could you possibly take a look at some admin coaching sessions and point out potential problems that could be avoided in the future? For example, if there was something you specifically objected to, or something you felt should be added, we could address that, and improve the program. Here are some examples of Admin coaching sessions which I have participated in: My admin coaching page (June '06) Ginkgo100's coaching page (Oct '06), Exir's coaching page (Oct '06), Fabrib's coaching page (current). (Feel free to seek out others yourself; each admin coach has different techniques or ideas, and this may not be a representative sample).
Feel free to leave comments on my talk page or on the Admin coaching talk page. Best wishes and happy editing! :) Firsfron of Ronchester 22:23, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Re: Large donor
I'm afraid that I don't have any more information than you do; all I did was pull the data off C.O.R.E. I'll try getting some more information from someone, but in the meantime, I would suggest contacting Mav, Danny, or the entire Fundraising Committee (fundcom, email list at fundcom-l
at wikimedia.org, I believe) for this. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 03:02, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- P.S. I've just asked for clarification on this matter to the ComCom, and I'll let you know if there are any updates. However, my instinct is that this is the anonymous donor - it seems (unless I just can't find it) that the initial donation of $$186,648 has been removed from C.O.R.E., and any mention of stocks in the $286,800 donation has also been removed. There's also a handy-dandy search feature allowing you to specify a minimum donation amount to search for that has been added to C.O.R.E., which makes finding these large donations a lot easier; I've also asked to see if they can add in a sort-by donation amount feature as well. Finally, you should probably also note a few of the other large donations we've received (a $25,000 donation being the largest after the anonymous donation.) Thanks again!

Esperanza
Hey! It's been--a year!-- since I talked to you. =) Do you think that the link to WP:EA on Talk:Esperanza is still necessary? Esperanza is officially inactive.--Ed ¿Cómo estás?Reviews? 03:19, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Etiquette for others editing Signpost stories before and after publication
I sometimes notice typos and stuff in Signpost stories after publication, and have corrected a few in the past. I recently noticed that it is possible to watch Signpost stories developing if you read Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom/Other and follow the links there. I recently followed a link to here (nice pun in the title!) and spotted a missing 'were' here: "Even early in Esperanza's history, there worries about the organization's bureaucracy." I thought about correcting it there and then (always tempting on Wikipedia), but then decided to drop you this note instead. I know there can be a grey area between obvious typos and more subtle changes that you would want people to avoid, so I thought I'd raise the general etiquette question with you as well. Thanks.
