Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of [[Wikipedia:Esperanza|Esperanza's]] proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at [[User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week]] where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. [[User:Badbilltucker|Badbilltucker]] 17:46, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

== Celebrity endorsements of 80s computers article ==

I found an article about celebrity endorsements of 80s computers which might interest this task force. Some of the celebrities mentioned at [[William Shatner]], [[Alan Alda]], [[Bill Bixby]], [[Bill Cosby]], and even [[Bill Gates]] (for a Radio Shack Tandy!). - [[User:Lady Aleena|LA]] @ 23:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
