I really do not know where else to pose this question: How does one become a member of the Maine team? Mackenzie Andersen ( talk) 23:17, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
Hi Harej, I hope this message finds you well. I am doing research on Wikimedia programs, and I was wondering if you have some information on Library of Congress GLAM project. Do you know when it started? Is it over or not yet? Any contact information you may have could be super useful. Thank you, MCruz (WMF) ( talk) 19:43, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

I see you were the last to block Wikipedia:Esperanza. I don't see it as a page that needs full protection anymore - for that matter, it probably doesn't need any protection at all. I'd say it's time to unprotect. BTW, I'm not planning on changing anything, it's just the principle of it. Oiyarbepsy ( talk) 15:19, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I don't know how to use this (an old man here). The above article needs work on one sentence. "Cities" should be "city's", and the claim made in the statement is illogical (can't ne declining and holding even simultaneously).
I saw your name on wiki projects St Louis and after failing to fix this there thought is aend directly to you. Here is the sentence from the bevo mill main article: "The growth of immigrants in Saint Louis has kept the cities declining population at an even level.[3]"
Just wondering if you have any thoughts re: the idea of WMF hosting a genealogy project. If so, feel free to contribute to this discussion. And apologies if I have made this request before. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 17:38, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi James,
I like the new look of the policy list: good work! Your ultimate goals are also very sensible, and address something that people love to criticize without having any idea about how to fix, so more power to you! -- Slashme ( talk) 09:41, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Harej! I picked your name out of the blue. I've written a few articles in the last few years, even renamed a few, but I have just come to know of the proper way of renaming articles. The other day, I pasted the contents of " /info/en/?search=Harbhajan_Singh_Yogi" (HSY) onto a new site I created: " /info/en/?search=Harbhajan_Singh_Khalsa." (HSK) That did not end up working and I have since come to know of the "move page" tab at the top of each article, but now I cannot move the article from HSY to HSK because I receive the message that "a page by that name already exists" although in fact /info/en/?search=Harbhajan_Singh_Khalsa does exist not any more.
The reason I want to change the name of the page is because the subject's legal name is Harbhajan Singh Khalsa, not Harbhajan Singh Yogi. It has been Harbhajan Singh Khalsa since 1976, when he dropped his caste-identifying last name of "Puri" and replaced it with the casteless "Khalsa." So Harbhajan Singh Khalsa is his proper and legal name. Moreover, in the Punjabi culture where from Harbhajan Singh originates, "Yogi" can be considered a pejorative term, making it even more inappropriate to use the word in his name. In western culture, "Yogi" carries no such negative connotation, in fact 99% of people who know and recognize Harbhajan Singh Khalsa as "Yogi Bhajan," which long ago was the title of this article, but that is not his legal name.
Would you kindly help me change the name of " /info/en/?search=Harbhajan_Singh_Yogi" to " /info/en/?search=Harbhajan_Singh_Khalsa"?
Thanks for considering. Guru Fatha Singh Khalsa ( talk) 06:02, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, Harej!
