[[Deuteronomy]]

I didn't create the article - I declined the speedy nom and prod'ed it, which is the appropriate avenue. G3 is not an appropriate criterion either. Regards, Acroterion (talk) 19:24, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Religious violence in India

TW warnings

It is usual to escalate the warnings. See "User talk:Massa174788", who already had a final warning. The next step was to report him to administrators. Snowman (talk) 18:26, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

:Fair point. I tend to just count the number of warnings and put in the next one (although, I confess to miscounting in this case). I hadn't noticed that his first warning was a "level 3". Lordjeff06 (talk) 18:30, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

::I sometimes rapidly advance the warnings when the vand is blatant, often going straight to a 2nd level warning, which does not have the "welcome" text. This persons vand was bad and doubly bad because he was writing on articles on living people, so the someone made the first warning a level 3. Snowman (talk) 18:38, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

:::Which is all well and appropriate, although I don't think any of the warnings had been made by you. All I'm saying is that, while I appreciated your comment, I didn't intentionally not escalate the warnings; I just didn't read so good. Lordjeff06 (talk) 18:39, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

::::I did my part and I reported it, as he already had a final warning. Snowman (talk) 18:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

::::: Well, thank you for your vigilance. Lordjeff06 (talk) 18:44, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

John Jackson

What does the tag mean? He qualified for the Olympics by beating the PanAm champ.German.Knowitall (talk) 17:48, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

see John Jackson (your discussion page)German.Knowitall (talk) 17:50, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

: It was just that I was skeptical of the notability of an article about an amateur athlete who had no real secondary source citations and was a future (as opposed to actual) Olympic athlete. I don't pretend to know anything about boxing, so I tossed the tag on there so that someone who knew more about these things might take a look. Lordjeff06 (talk) 21:24, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

:: I had a look and he has represented his country in boxing and also qualified for the Beijing Olympics so I think that is notable. Is that OK? thank you.--Gueracuco (talk) 09:51, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Tomfoolery at [[The Weber Brothers]]

Just FYI, the creator and an anonymous IP have been removing tags from this article that you recently tagged for speedy. I'm not entirely sure it's an A7, but it does look and feel awfully promotional and fishy. Happy to take it to AfD maybe if you still think it's deletable? Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:45, 25 March 2008 (UTC).

:Strange, I was about to leave you a message at the same time asking if yours was a reaction to mine or what =). AfD sounds good (hell, I won't interfere with another speedy, although you'd have to watch the article to make sure the tag didn't mysteriously vanish), and I concur that it looks non-notable. Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC).

::Nice work. If it's still around tomorrow morning when I wake up, I'll check to see if it's still about, and if so I'll make sure it's been fixed up and un-copyvioed. Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC).

|You have expressed interest in undergoing the Admin coaching program. However, after reviewing your edit history, I feel you may need more experience editing (i.e., >1,750 edits & 4 months of activity) on Wikipedia before you can know for certain your ready to begin the process of becoming an administrator. Therefore, at this time, your application for Admin Coaching has been declined.

My suggestion would be to seek adoption from a more experienced user who can help you experience all of the various components of editing an encyclopedia. If you decide adoption is not for you, there is also the editor review process that may help you find areas to improve upon in our editing. If you would like to talk more about this, please feel free to leave me a note at my talk page. Malinaccier (talk) 23:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I looked through your last 500 edits and would like to give you a more personalized suggestion. I would advise you to focus more on article creation, expansion, and upkeep. Many RFA contributors look for this in a potential admin. Happy editing, Malinaccier (talk) 23:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

What nonconstructive edit?

If you are talking about Mein Kampf, then, with all due respect, What the fuck? I simply changed Hitler's nationality from "German" to "Austrian born" because HE WAS AUSTRIAN BORN. Check a goddamn history book if you don't believe me. I mean how old are you, twelve? You really believe Hitler was german? Please go back to middle school immediately. Soberreh (talk) 11:17, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

: I grant you that Hitler was Austrian born. However, you changed the article from saying that he was "Austrian-born" to that he was "Australian-born." Just because you had a plausible edit summary does not make your edit any less nonconstructive. JEB90 (talk) 11:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

An exciting month of wiki events!

Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/open-government-wikihack-tickets-10862424805 Open Government WikiHack] with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,
James Hare

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.

When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Join us for a full Saturday of social Wikipedia editing at the Museum of Modern Art (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of Latin American artists.

The WikiArte (Wiki Arte y Cultura Latinoamerica) edit-a-thon is a global campaign to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Latin American arts and culture and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Wikipedia.

Featuring an opening Artists' Panel at 10am, with Sol Aramendi, Sharon Lee De La Cruz, and Marisa Morán Jahn, to be moderated by Rocío Aranda-Alvarado, curator at El Museo del Barrio.

The Museum of Modern Art and Fundacion Cisneros/Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros are uniting with international allies to focus on the lives and works of Latin American artists, architects and designers. With keystone events scheduled for October 22 in New York City and other cities throughout the month (Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Caracas, & others), the campaign aims to further similar goals to Art+Feminism.

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. Introductory training on the basics of Wikipedia editing will be given throughout the edit-a-thon. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand.

(You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future notifications for NYC-area events by adding or removing your name from this list.)

March Madness 2017

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be the Metropolitan Museum of Art's second edit-a-thon, hosted on Sunday November 19, 2017 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.

Following the first Met edit-a-thon in May 2017, the museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely.

::10:30 am - 4:00 pm in Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Uris Center for Education

:::81st Street entrance, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue

Attendees should bring their own laptops and power cords. Light snacks, drinks and cake will be provided.

We also welcome remote participation for the global online Wikipedia Asian Art Month, running November 1-30.

Thanks, and hope to see you at the museum, and/or as part of the online Wikipedia Asian Month contest!--Pharos (talk) 16:36, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City.

New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events.

The Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Saturday November 16, 2019 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.

The museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week.

::12:30 pm - 4:30 pm in Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Uris Center for Education

:::81st Street entrance, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue

And there will be sandwiches and Wiki-Cake!

Thanks, and hope to see you there! --Wikimedia New York City Team 16:45, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community and visitors from the global Wikimedia Foundation for our WikiWednesday Salon by Grand Central, in-person at [https://convene.com/locations/new-york-city/101-park-avenue/ Convene 101 Park Avenue] in the vicinity of Manhattan's Grand Central Terminal. No experience of anything at all is required. All are welcome!

This is somewhat of a sequel to last year's Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Brunch in terms of the participants, though this time it is an evening event in a different borough.

We may leaven the event with a few impromptu lightning talks, a Wiki-fashion show (yes, really!), and likely an afterparty tour.

All attendees are subject to Wikimedia NYC's Code of Conduct. In addition, to participate in person you should be vaccinated and also be sure to respect others' personal space, and we may limit overall attendance size if appropriate.
