Hi Ijon, I met you at last year's Art+Feminism edit-a-thon hosted at California College of the Arts' Oakland campus. We're planning to host the edit-a-thon again this year on Saturday March 5th, except we'll use our San Francisco campus. Would you be interested in joining us again and giving short talk on editing? And if not, could you put me in touch with someone else at Wikimedia who might be willing? Thanks! — Phette23 (talk) 23:34, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

:Hi, Phette23! I'd be delighted to, but unfortunately cannot commit very long in advance, as my travel schedule for March is still uncertain, and will remain so through mid-February at least. In the meantime, I will relay your request on the office mailing list and see if there are any takers. Ijon (talk) 00:06, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

היי אסף, זה ראובן מוויקיפדיה העברית. האנגלית שלי סבירה אבל לא מעולה, אבל אני חושב שיש לי הרבה מה לתרום גם לוויקיפדיה האנגלית בתחום המקרא (כלומר "הברית הישנה"). אבל אני צריך מישהו שיעבוד אתי או יעבור אחריי, ישפר את הניסוחים ויתקן מה שצריך. עדיף מישהו ששולט גם בעברית וגם באנגלית. אני יודע שזה לא אידיאלי, אבל בסופו של דבר התוכן חשוב יותר מהצורה. בתור התחלה אני רוצה להרחיב את הערך על משפט שלמה על פי הערך המקביל שכתבתי בעברית. ביקשתי עצה ב"בית התה" והציעו לי לפנות אליך. אתה מכיר מישהו שיכול לעזור? תודה, ראובן מ.

We hope you can join us today, Wednesday, from 6 p.m. on, at our July Bay Area WikiSalon. This month only, we are going to be at Noisebridge, a hackerspace/makerspace 1.5 blocks from the 16th & Mission BART station (see the link for directions). Some of us will be working on the Wikipedia article on basic income. [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bay_Area_WikiSalon_July_2016 All info here]. Some good news - we do not have to be as strict about advance RSVP at Noisebridge, so bring spontaneous guests! ([//docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeHtIIcEtUPqLtbG6BXCAs-A6u6bdK6aW3z_jBNiA5lnTHKog/viewform Registering] ahead of time is still helpful, as always, as it will help us plan ahead.)

Come and hang out, have some light snacks. Wi-Fi is available, so please bring your editing device if you plan to edit.

Also, Pete just published a writeup of the Wikidojo exercise we did last month. Your comments welcome, if he missed anything!

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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Suleiman the Magnificent, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rusyn. 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 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.
