Wikipedia talk:Birthday Committee/Merge?

message: Hello everyone,
I would just like to commend this project for its wonderful participation and purpose.  You guys have started a great idea on Wikipedia.  I can see that many of you are Esperanzians, and would like to invite you to join the newly renovated Birthday Campaign at Esperanza.  It seems silly to have two projects concentrated on the same goal.  
The only differences are that the membership requirements would be changed to the requirements set forth by the Esperanza charter.  The templates could be ported as well as leadership and your system of approval of new templates.  I wanted to wait for Steveo2 to return before asking.  I think your cause will reach more people and will help spread WikiLove.  I am open to discuss this here.
:Yours,

===Pro-Merge?===
# Steveo2 I agree with Heaven's Wrath's statement that have two groups with the same goal is wasteful. However, I hate to lose our templates, categories, and rules through a merge. Overall, I am for this merge, and now realize that I should have joined Esperanza before forming my own committee.
#:* I would just like to say that the templates will not be lost.  Either they would be used as they are, or possible move to the Esperanza project space.  The program will simply be named the Esperanza Birthday Committee.  The categories can be renamed.  The only major change would be the 150 edit minimum to join Esperanza.  – Heaven's Wrath   Talk  23:12, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

message: # Thistheman - While I do recognize Heaven's Wrath's statement as a purposeful one, and do empathize with the statements of my colleagues above, I am having concerns about the proposed merger.  Esperanza is an excellent association, one that I am proud to be a part of.  I am also proud to be a part of the Birthday Committee, and I feel that the overall identity of the committee as a whole will be lost in Esperanza.  Agreed, it is unnecessary to have two groups having the same goal, but I feel that our name as the "Birthday Committee" shall be lost in such a merger.  This, to me, would not be such a benefit.  17:18, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

message: #Who are we to say that all of the BDC members join Esperanza? Well, first we have to see which came first:Esperanza Bday committee or this committee? Remember that not all of the BDC members aren't Esperanzian, though most of them are. I think that we all should just have the same program, though. What we'll do is that we can merge all of our calendars into one calender for the whole Wikipedia. That way, Esperanza and the BDC both can wish people Happy Birthday.--Edtalk c E 22:26, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
