I am on an educational wikibreak until 15 Feb 2013. I will be checking my emails during this time. -- Guerillero | My Talk 01:42, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello! I've noticed that you do a lot of work for the Wikipedia US Education Program, and I recently (very recently, so I'm being rather impatient) requested rights as an instructor to assist my professor in some curricula that she's looking at implementing (I get a feeling that a lot of your instructors are actually assistants like myself, but I'm thrilled to be a part of the project). I noticed on your talk page that you're taking a vacation, and I hope that it's going very well. When you get back or have a moment to look at my request, I'd really appreciate if you could give your input and/or process it at WP:ENB#Request_for_course_instructor_right:_Jackson_Peebles_.28talk.29! Thanks so much! -- Jackson Peebles ( talk) 05:59, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for proving my point, man! I recommend you to run for the committee again the next year. I am sure you'd make a great arbitrator. 67.169.10.90 ( talk) 15:30, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Nice to meet you. The future of Editor of the Week depends on nominations. You seem to be a Wiki wanderer. I would imagine that you run across potential candidates here and there. Please keep EotW in mind. ``` Buster Seven Talk 18:26, 8 February 2013 (UTC) |

Hello again! We have some neat updates about the Teahouse:
Thanks again! Ocaasi 02:22, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot’s recommendations. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information in the consent information sheet.
We have added information about the readership and quality of the suggested articles using a Low/Medium/High scale. For readership the scale goes from Low
to High
, while for quality the scale goes from Low
to High
.
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom ( talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot ( talk) 02:35, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
Now that I'm back, I think it's damn well time we relaunched this. After all, it's an important part of any encyclopedia that means to depict music. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 07:34, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
I really, really wish you'd delete your comments there. I honestly think it's better to get this resumed before we start making changes; once we have people, we can sort out criteria changes easily, but we're not going to get that if we keep the project dead. The project needs to show some life if anyone's going to pay attention to it. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 07:22, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
As a formerly active discussant at WT:FSC, I would like to call your attention to Wikipedia talk:Featured sound candidates#Proposal to revamp FS.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 18:09, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Guerillero. Thanks for taking the time to volunteer as online ambassador for our course. We are planning to move our article on Mass Amateurization to the main Wikipedia space within the next week. Do you have time to take a quick look at it and give us some feedback? Primarily, we want to make sure that our article doesn't have any glaring formatting or phrasing issues.Here's a link to my Sandbox where the article exists: /info/en/?search=User:SCTT/sandbox SCTT ( talk) 20:54, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
