You have expressed an interest in Wikimedia UK. Just to let you know I've posted a draft Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association of the proposed "Wikimedia UK" charitable company on Wikimedia UK/Memorandum of Association and Wikimedia UK/Articles of Association. It is proposed that these will receive initial approval by interested parties at a meeting on 27 November. I will put together a brief agenda for the more formal aspects of that meeting soon. Memo and Arts of Association are a company's constitution, and need to be agreed before the company is formed (though they can be changed at a later date). Please feel free to comment on the relevant talk pages (I'd rather the proposed drafts are left unedited so that it is easy to see what is going on) - particularly if there is something there that you would disagree with at the meeting, details of which can be found on the Wikimedia UK page on Wikimedia Meta-Wiki. Kind regards, jguk 19:06, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
Because you're a member of the Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians, I'm notifying you that the inclusionist proposa Wikipedia:Non-notabilityl is in progress to define the role of notability in articles.

hi,
i just stumbled over the wonderful pictures you uploaded to the commons :)
some tips on categories (had to learn these myself some months ago):
if you know the species, and put it into a gallery page (as you did here, for example), don't put it into a category, too, because this will create a redundancy. also, it's best to hold the category tree a little bit flat, eg. Insects -> Order -> Family (maybe -> Genus). There should not be categories for single species, just put the pics into the species gallery page, and link the gallery page to the family category.
So, if you have a picture where you know the species, put it in the species gallery page. if this doesn't exist, create it, and link the page to the fitting genus/family, or just categorize the picture in the fitting genus/family. If you don't know the species, for spiders the preferred category is Category:Unknown spiders.
if you have any questions, give me a call. and keep these nice pictures coming :) cheers --20:15, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey Cfp, you display badges proclaiming your expertise in math the lambda calculus and other things. How did you get them? Have they helped your wikipedia experience? You opposed the badges for philosophy. Is there a reason you think they work in the one field, but not the other? Or do you perhaps regret that math has been driven to make such elitist distinctions? I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm trying to figure out how well this kind of thing has worked or not worked in other Wiki-areas. Thanks Bmorton3 16:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I changed the tag because (as with many proposals) it appeared to be not particularly active; it's not a motion to dismiss or anything. If it turns out that it is in fact active, or you wish to once more make it active, by all means put the {{ proposed}} back (which has already been done here). HTH. >Radiant< 21:37, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I believe you are mistaken. Double redirects are never permitted within Wikipedia; else the exception would be stated on WP:2R and, I believe, the list of double redirects would exclude those exceptions. The rules concerning {{R with possibilities}} stipulate that you're not to replace the links within an article to the end page. For instance, in an article about a historical figure, the link to a death date may say 925 BC, which directs to 920 BC. The article's link should not be replaced to the redirected page (though, typcially, links within articles should not go to redirect pages). However, double-redirects should be fixed regardless of whether they're tagged {{R with possibilities}}. There is one user in particular who purposefully creates double redirects (and tags them with {{R with possibilities}}), but they serve no purpose other than to create extra clicks for the reader. Furthermore, I believe that classifying my edits as "bot work" is, frankly, rather insulting. I'm trying to improve Wikipedia just as you are, and I'm trying to learn about different aspects about it by doing edits that I haven't done before. Please be more respectful of a user's contributions, even if they are minor edits that could be automated. -- Merope Talk/ Review 15:32, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Welcome, Cfp, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.
Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.
In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.
If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!
A better way to stop an edit war is this: WP:RPP. The reason is that your tag is well-intended but tends to make people edit war over that tag instead. >Radiant< 23:06, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Summary: Wikimedia UK has held it's first AGM! The AGM included numerous speakers talking about a wide range of topics, ranging from collaboration with the BBC to reaching out around the world with Wikipedia on a DVD! A number of official actions were also taken - including the passing of six Resolutions, the election of the new seven-person Board, and the first new Board meeting! Also this month, an overview of the Chapters meeting in Berlin, of which two of our number were present, and details of the upcoming meetups this month!
