Hey Lane,
At this was there any ongoing output after the talk? From here it seems like not much visible has happened. LeadSongDog come howl! 05:47, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
I've posted an RfC at Template talk:cite doi. Thanks for your offer to help. I'll wait for the bot to take care of the initial notifications, but a number of other notifications need to/should be sent. As many science wikiprojects as possible, I would think, as well as participants in the previous discussion. (Do other academic areas use cite doi often? Any other topic areas?) This is the sort of thing that an automated tool like AWB would presumably be helpful for; I don't use those. Any suggestions? —Alex ( Ashill | talk | contribs) 02:43, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Sorry! I did not realize that there was an actual page for 2875. It looked like nonsense to me. — Anita5192 ( talk) 21:14, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
but now I have read your article on Signpost in August.
I fully agree, especially when you wrote: ...that almost all of the conference presentations were showcasing the work of paid staff, when many people think of the Wikimedia movement as a volunteer initiative.
I am pretty active as a volunteer since 11 years, and I won´t accept exactly this issue.
I saw it the first time in London, but that was precisely the reason why I refused to go to Mexico. In London I wanted to make a presentation together with a female scientist of the Austrian Academy of Sciences on a common potential major project, this presentation was rejected on the very last day.
What happened in London? I have seen paid staff, which have never even done in their life a single edit in Wikipedia, but have actually declared an audience of probably 500 years Wikipedia Experience how Wikipedia works.
In the meantime, I still consider, that the Wikimania is nothing more than an incentive for users, but where it is also striking that there are not really active users, which is a Wikimania apply for scholarship and get it amazingly well.
For the rest of the year you will no longer see these people.
Maybe I'll go to Italy next year (because it is very close to me), but I'm not really sure.
I considers that local meetings - so such as the WikiCon for Germany, Austria and Switzerland (and, of course South Tyrol) are far more efficient. They are smaller (200 persons) and one also has therefore better access to the various stakeholders, which is indeed a daily basis in his work meets Wikipedia.
Unfortunately, it is so that the separation WMF / Chapter / Communty by such events is not resolved, rather the contrary.

You are being contacted because you contributed to a recent discussion of MOS:IDENTITY that closed with the recommendation that Wikipedia's policy on transgender individuals be revisited.
Two threads have been opened at the Village Pump:Policy. The first addresses how the Manual of Style should instruct editors to refer to transgender people in articles about themselves (which name, which pronoun, etc.). The second addresses how to instruct editors to refer to transgender people when they are mentioned in passing in other articles. Your participation is welcome.

Please note: This is an SVG. Per WP:WIAFP on SVG files: "Note that vector graphics in SVG format can have a nominal size much smaller than this, as by their nature they can be infinitely scaled without loss of quality."
So doesn't that mean the SVG file is good to go?
Please help clarify your thoughts on this for me.
Thank you,

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Public image of Narendra Modi is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Public image of Narendra Modi until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. FreeatlastChitchat ( talk) 04:16, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
