Hello Deb,

:I missed you being around. How are you? Right now I am working on this. Need some fixes and add some summary of the chapters but it is hard for me because English is not my first language and I might hit on some gaps... I hope you can help :) It has to pass the Wikipedia:NOTABLE... Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 19:24, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

:Thank you so much for your help. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 12:19, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

::Thanks for the message and thank you so much for what you are doing with my draft. I am busy at real work too... too many bosses, and too many hours in front of a PC trying to program. I am developing a software for my work. Also, in Wikipedia I am working in writting a new article of a Cuban actress :)... HOpe you are doing great. Greetings...

::PS: I will give U2 by U2 draft some attention today. Thanks for your help again :D Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 12:05, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Hey ChesPal. I'm dropping you a note to let you know (or remind you) about Flow, the structured discussion system for Wikipedia that we're building. You may have heard about some of the longer-term vision for Flow in the past, but in the last two months we've been moving quickly to narrow down the short-term scope of the project, and we're keen to get feedback.

First: we've written up an explanation of the "minimum viable product" – the set of features that will be in the first, on-wiki deployment. Because discussions on Wikipedia are complex and varied, we're approaching Flow development as an incremental process of uncovering user needs for different types of discussion. The first release will be limited to a few WikiProject talkpages only, with the goal of testing out our first stab at peer-to-peer discussion functionality and improving it based on feedback from the WikiProject members who use it. If you've got any thoughts on the MVP, or on the philosophy we're trying to follow with this software, let us know on the Flow talkpage. If you know of a WikiProject that might be interested in testing this out, let Maryana know on her talkpage :)

Second: we're having a set of discussions around some experimental features we'll be trying in the first release. These include indenting and nesting of comments and comment editing. If you've got any practical thoughts on these, we'd appreciate hearing them. For background and feedback on the design, there are the ongoing set of design iteration notes, a Design FAQ, and a page for design feedback.

The software prototype is still in early development, and changing daily in small ways, with major goals updating every 2 weeks. If you've got comments about other bits of the software, we'll be holding an IRC office hours session in #wikimedia-office at [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=18&min=00&sec=0&day=17&month=10&year=2013 18:00 UTC] on 17 November to talk about Flow as a whole, and fielding questions on the talkpage before and after then.

Third: this is a pre-newsletter announcement of a new WP:Flow/Newsletter signup page! If you'd like further updates, details, and requests for input, please add your name there.

Thanks, Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 19:44, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. Thanks for signing up for the WikiWomen's Edit-a-Thon at Berkeley that is happening today. I look forward to seeing you! We have changed the on-campus venue due to the response we've had, via Wikipedia and Facebook. Please take a look at the event page. If you get this message too late, we'll have a sign on the door of the former location directing you to the new one, which is only a short walk. See you then!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited California Faience, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Berkeley High School. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi ChesPal. I'm an editor (not very active till now) of the Italian Wikipedia, where the gender gap is a real issue. I'm trying to participate to an IEG with the project "Women are everywhere". You will find the draft at this link https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Women_are_everywhere It would be great if you could have a look at it. I need any kind of suggestion or advice to improve it. Support or endorsement would be fantastic. Many thanks, --Kenzia (talk) 10:23, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi folks,

We would like to invite you to this month's Bay Area WikiSalon. The last Wednesday evening of every month, wiki enthusiasts gather to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas.

We make sure to allow time for informal conversation and working on articles. Newcomers and experienced wiki users are encouraged to attend. Free Wi-Fi is available so bring your editing devices. We will have beverages and light snacks. We will also have a brief presentation for your education and possible enjoyment:

• Former EFF intern Marta Belcher will discuss crowdsourcing her Stanford Law School graduation speech using a wiki. The "WikiSpeech" was the subject of prominent national media attention in 2015, and more than half of her classmates contributed to writing and editing the commencement address via a wiki.

Please note: You should [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1cjLRrSTlEkGOPTQ-h6A0WvSFI4ZmIUl6jEHp_RYas-E/viewform register here], and bring a photo ID that matches your registration name. The building policy is strict on the I.D. part. This also helps us figure out how much food and drink to bring in! Feel free to stop by even if only to say a quick hello, but you might have to give us a last minute call if you forget to RSVP. Also, don't be shy about hitting us up if you have thoughts on speakers or wiki-related activities.

Hello Deborah,

I noticed you had created Shawnee Pottery and I'm hoping you might have time to look at Weller Pottery. I had created a bio of the founder, Samuel Weller, and last winter I put some effort into developing the article on the pottery that bears his name, but it's still only a little better than pitiful. The main problem, as I see it, is the series of lists naming the pottery's lines. I haven't figured out whether these lists are more useless than useful. If the reader is a collector, maybe the lists are useful, and would be better with some relevant images,but for the general audience the lists without annotation are somewhat off-putting, I think. I've hesitated to be BOLD and delete them, so I decided to seek the opinion of another editor. I will, of course, understand if you decline. Cheers! — Mary (aka Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 03:47, 15 September 2016 (UTC))

:Hello Grand'mere Eugene,

:I am honored you asked me my opinion on the article about Weller Pottery. I have a couple of small Weller items myself, as we collect green Arts & Crafts pottery. I also have some Shawnee Pottery Corn King pieces, probably 8 - 10 items total. You asked about the importance of listing the various lines of Weller Pottery. If someone is a collector, this information is helpful. Not everyone's cup of tea, but there is value to the information being included in the article.ChesPal (talk) 21:57, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

::Thank you for your response. A few years ago I inherited my mother-in-law's Wellerware collection, some 30+ pieces of mostly the later commercial lines, so mostly only valuable as mementoes of her. I have three books for collectors, now, and may try to incorporate some descriptions and photos of a few more of the lines into the article. Thanks again--I value your perspective! Cheers.

Hi folks,

We would like to invite you to this month's Bay Area WikiSalon. The last Wednesday evening of every month, Wikipedia and Wikimedia enthusiasts gather to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas.

We will have no formal agenda to allow people to freely share ideas and perhaps learn about Wikipedia through hands-on editing. Co-organizer Ben Creasy will be looking at election-related articles to enhance the information available in the upcoming November elections.

File:LUSITANA WLM 2011 d.svg

Co-organizer Stephen LaPorte has suggested doing an upload-a-thon for Wiki Loves Monuments. Niki, the California coordinator for WLM will be in attendance. WLM is an annual event and the official dealine is Friday the 30th for submissions to count towards awards.

Or, you can grab a couch, a booth, or a stool and do your own thing.

Hi folks,

Please copy and share this on other talk pages. We would like to invite you to this month's Bay Area WikiSalon. The last Wednesday evening of every month, Wikipedia and Wikimedia enthusiasts gather at the Wikimedia Foundation lounge to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas.

We will have no meaty agenda this month, but we will allow a brief period for:

• Open mic for anybody who attended [//wikiconference.org/wiki/2016/Main_Page WikiConference North America 2016] in San Diego last week and wants to share their takeaway
• Question & answer
• Open mic for announcements
• Maybe a focus on some topical election article editing with Ben?

Or, you can grab a couch, a booth, a stool or counter and do your own thing.

Please note: You should [//docs.google.com/forms/d/1cjLRrSTlEkGOPTQ-h6A0WvSFI4ZmIUl6jEHp_RYas-E register here], and bring a photo ID that matches your registration name. The building policy is strict on the I.D. part. This also helps us figure out how much food and drink to bring in! Feel free to stop by even if only to say a quick hello, but you might have to give us a last minute call if you forget to RSVP. Also, don't be shy about hitting us up if you have thoughts on future speakers or wiki-related activities.

For further details, please see: Wikipedia:Bay Area WikiSalon, October 2016.

PS: Mark your calendars ahead now for the 3rd Wednesday in November, the 30th (the week after Thanksgiving), at 6 p.m. when our WikiSalon will host a super awesome top secret mystery guest mingling in our midst. We will announce specifics at the upcoming WikiSalon.

See you soon! {{u|Peteforsyth|Pete F}}, {{u|Ben Creasy|Ben}}, {{u|Slaporte (WMF)|Stephen}}, Jacob, and {{u|Checkingfax}} | (Subscribe or Unsubscribe to this talk page notice here)
