Dear Lane,
Thank you for your communication. You are right; I received an email from lawyers requiring me to take down the photos I took of
Berden. Even though I subsequently changed the file names, descriptions and cats of those small number of files remaining which would be uncontroversial (such as details of flowers) , and leaving no indication of place other than the broad county, there has been a further requirement for me to take these down. You are also right in that the lawyer's email was bullying. However, as I know that the Foundation doesn't involve itself with such matters, leaving users to their own devices, I thought I would bend over for a quiet life.
What is particularly galling is that there are many photos of Berden village locations and people (including children) on the web, including the village's own website and Facebook page, where permission was obviously not sought from those depicted, and where there seems no movement from 'village elders' to take them down. What is equally galling is that I made a previous special journey to take many photos for my
Berden Church article development, some of which are on the Berden website uncredited. There are elements of hypocrisy here.
It might be useful for a Wiki community discussion as you indicate... please
see].
Thank you for your kind words. Best wishes

Hi, I just read your Signpost article requesting stories from Wikimania attendees. I wanted to ping you before submitting a formal proposal, because I wrote a blog post about Wikimania a couple of weeks ago which I think with a few edits could work as a Signpost article. It would definitely be more of an op-ed than a news piece though. Thoughts? Funcrunch ( talk) 04:03, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Bauhaus books + coffee 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/Bauhaus books + coffee 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. Drmies ( talk) 01:03, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:International HIV AIDS Alliance.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:23, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
I saw you as an active editor on several medical talk pages and while I try to stay current on the latest developments in HIV/AIDS I have to admit my ignorance of the U=U consensus statements by the International Conference on HIV/AIDS I've added it as a new section on the talk page of both the main HIV/AIDS and the Prevention of HIV/AIDS pages in hopes that it could be added to the topics. So I am trying to encourage/lobby you to take a look at this and contribute your expertise as an editor to my effort. Personally I don't know the jargon of Wikipedia and so as a result often get overwhelmed and intimidated by the process. It seems everytime I understand the latest template, editing process or citation method it changes. As a result, I feel like the perpetual newbie.

Dear BlueRasberry,
Respectful Greetings !!
I merely want to thank you for the uploading of the picture / art print on Jashodaben ( ex ? - wife of PM Narendra Modi). I am most appreciative of the trouble you have taken for a faithful and admiring way in which she has been portrayed. I am an indian born American, .... for the last 40 yrs in the US. I am also deeply grateful for the trouble and efforts you have expended for the Wiki, in your numerous articles. I am also a donor to the Wiki, and I share in your enthusiasm on this brilliant concept by Jimmy Wales.
I am very curious, to know, as to how you have learnt, presumably, such a native competency in Hindi. That is admirable - unless ofcourse, you were born in India. Still very admirable. I studied Hindi for ten years and unfortunately, am still, none the wiser. ;-) LOL
No reply is necessary, or required - I wish you good health and spirits. God Bless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FCC8:944D:D700:C43D:856F:50BD:67A4 ( talk) 16:01, 5 October 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.
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) |

Facto Post – Issue 6 – 15 November 2017
![]() WikidataCon Berlin 28–9 October 2017Under the heading rerum causas cognescere, the first ever Wikidata conference got under way in the Tagesspiegel building with two keynotes, One was on YAGO, about how a knowledge base conceived ten years ago if you assume automatic compilation from Wikipedia. The other was from manager Lydia Pintscher, on the "state of the data". Interesting rumours flourished: the mix'n'match tool and its 600+ datasets, mostly in digital humanities, to be taken off the hands of its author Magnus Manske by the WMF; a Wikibase incubator site is on its way. Announcements came in talks: structured data on Wikimedia Commons is scheduled to make substantive progress by 2019. The lexeme development on Wikidata is now not expected to make the Wiktionary sites redundant, but may facilitate automated compilation of dictionaries. ![]() And so it went, with five strands of talks and workshops, through to 11 pm on Saturday. Wikidata applies to GLAM work via metadata. It may be used in education, raises issues such as author disambiguation, and lends itself to different types of graphical display and reuse. Many millions of SPARQL queries are run on the site every day. Over the summer a large open science bibliography has come into existence there. Wikidata's fifth birthday party on the Sunday brought matters to a close. See a dozen and more reports by other hands. Links

Hi, I just read your Signpost article requesting stories from Wikimania attendees. I wanted to ping you before submitting a formal proposal, because I wrote a blog post about Wikimania a couple of weeks ago which I think with a few edits could work as a Signpost article. It would definitely be more of an op-ed than a news piece though. Thoughts? Funcrunch ( talk) 04:03, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi! I've just added a few more sources to my article ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Annika_Bruhns). I have no idea what I've done wrong. I've found a lot of artist pages with less information than mine (for exemplare: /info/en/?search=Pia_Douwes, /info/en/?search=Thomas_Borchert). Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you in advance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by MiMee ( talk • contribs) 10:50, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:International HIV AIDS Alliance.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:23, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
I saw you as an active editor on several medical talk pages and while I try to stay current on the latest developments in HIV/AIDS I have to admit my ignorance of the U=U consensus statements by the International Conference on HIV/AIDS I've added it as a new section on the talk page of both the main HIV/AIDS and the Prevention of HIV/AIDS pages in hopes that it could be added to the topics. So I am trying to encourage/lobby you to take a look at this and contribute your expertise as an editor to my effort. Personally I don't know the jargon of Wikipedia and so as a result often get overwhelmed and intimidated by the process. It seems everytime I understand the latest template, editing process or citation method it changes. As a result, I feel like the perpetual newbie.

Dear BlueRasberry,
Respectful Greetings !!
I merely want to thank you for the uploading of the picture / art print on Jashodaben ( ex ? - wife of PM Narendra Modi). I am most appreciative of the trouble you have taken for a faithful and admiring way in which she has been portrayed. I am an indian born American, .... for the last 40 yrs in the US. I am also deeply grateful for the trouble and efforts you have expended for the Wiki, in your numerous articles. I am also a donor to the Wiki, and I share in your enthusiasm on this brilliant concept by Jimmy Wales.
I am very curious, to know, as to how you have learnt, presumably, such a native competency in Hindi. That is admirable - unless ofcourse, you were born in India. Still very admirable. I studied Hindi for ten years and unfortunately, am still, none the wiser. ;-) LOL
No reply is necessary, or required - I wish you good health and spirits. God Bless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FCC8:944D:D700:C43D:856F:50BD:67A4 ( talk) 16:01, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

I wrote my first article and it is in draft: 10-Minute Walk; thought you may find that decent progress!! Fingers crossed it goes well, as I have received some helpful feedback on it.

Sunday November 19, 10:30 am - 4:00pm: Metropolitan Museum of Art Edit-a-thon | |
---|---|
![]() 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.
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) |

Facto Post – Issue 6 – 15 November 2017
![]() WikidataCon Berlin 28–9 October 2017Under the heading rerum causas cognescere, the first ever Wikidata conference got under way in the Tagesspiegel building with two keynotes, One was on YAGO, about how a knowledge base conceived ten years ago if you assume automatic compilation from Wikipedia. The other was from manager Lydia Pintscher, on the "state of the data". Interesting rumours flourished: the mix'n'match tool and its 600+ datasets, mostly in digital humanities, to be taken off the hands of its author Magnus Manske by the WMF; a Wikibase incubator site is on its way. Announcements came in talks: structured data on Wikimedia Commons is scheduled to make substantive progress by 2019. The lexeme development on Wikidata is now not expected to make the Wiktionary sites redundant, but may facilitate automated compilation of dictionaries. ![]() And so it went, with five strands of talks and workshops, through to 11 pm on Saturday. Wikidata applies to GLAM work via metadata. It may be used in education, raises issues such as author disambiguation, and lends itself to different types of graphical display and reuse. Many millions of SPARQL queries are run on the site every day. Over the summer a large open science bibliography has come into existence there. Wikidata's fifth birthday party on the Sunday brought matters to a close. See a dozen and more reports by other hands. Links

I have some thoughts or comments on the writeup you submitted for Signpost issue 11. Would you like to discuss here? Or perhaps Newsroom? Bottom line, I think their confusion goes beyond what you stated and I am not really sure they know what public domain really means. BTW is the chinchilla picture here a selfie or ...?
