Hope you are able to attend! -- Another Believer ( Talk) 22:46, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
Greetings OR and thanks for your contributions. I noticed your talk page edit at Template talk:WikiProject United States to add a GLAM project to the list of supported projects. Unfortunately I had to remove all the GLAM projects from the template so we cannot do that. This was because several editors (some of which don't even participate in WPUS) felt that the WPUS project was overreaching its scope and some of the GLAM projects had content that was too far removed from WPUS (Paintings, artists and other content unrelated to the US). Rather than include only the content that pertained to the US and share that between the 2 projects, the consensus required the removal of the GLAM projects and the cease of support from WPUS. Which also means several of the GLAM projects don't have any active support. Which I feel is unfortunate and you can probably sense my irritation in that decision. Anyway, just wanted to let you know. Take care and happy editing. Kumioko ( talk) 16:48, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Block message:
Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "METROtrain6". The reason given for METROtrain6's block is: " This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username does not meet our username policy. Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing. A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by: Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page.

Accept reason: Autoblock lifted. -- jpgordon ::==( o ) 18:14, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
The reason given for METROtrain6's block is that the username is incorrect. This was my fault, but I understand now why the block happened. I created that account because I'm a WiR and I'm doing a training at Queens Public Library tomorrow and many of the people I will be training have a block IP address at their institution. I created that account here, so it could be passed on to someone at the training to begin using. I now understand that I should have never created an account for someone else, but I need my account to be unblocked in order to help facilitate the training tomorrow. Please write back if you have further concerns. OR drohowa ( talk) 18:08, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

The article East Art Map has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

When I visited the New York Hall of Science, I thought it seemed too much like a children's museum, even though it wasn't officially. Being broke, there are plenty of NYC museums I still haven't visited. I was in Jacksonville, Florida for 4 months to the day (arrived January 16, 2012; departed-May 15, 2012), of which I was employed for about 3 1/2 months. I visited two museums there (Wikipedia shows that there are nine total). Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens is the best--it's kind of a mini Met. Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville was a bit disappointing because their special exhibitions take up almost the entirety of the museum, other than the classroom area (mostly for kids), the auditorium, cafe, and gift shop. They have a permanent collection, but it's kept in storage if it's not related to the special exhibition, presumably at University of North Florida, which runs it. I've been to more art galleries than I can name, but mostly my museum going in NYC has been MoMA, Met, and AMNH, plus some library exhibitions. The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is so cool that I know people who have had their weddings there. -- Scottandrewhutchins ( talk) 23:27, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Dorothy, I just wanted to bring Wikimedia LGBT, a proposed user group and thematic organization that promotes the development of content on Wikimedia projects which is of interest to LGBT communities, to your attention. I am sure you are so busy with your current projects, but I hope you might be able to direct people to this group if they are interested in LGBT content in any way. Of course, you are also more than welcome to indicate your interest/support, if you wish. Hopefully we can get some LGBT-related GLAM projects up and running in the near future.

Hi! Well I seem to be the first to take up your invitation. I have to say I'm not sure I see the need for a new wikiproject. Unless they are well supported they are probably better off remaining part of a larger one. I'm a bit dubious about articles about current one-off exhibitions (though I've done at least one myself), and they usually get very few readers, even while the show is on; look at the views (from Dec 12 when he stopped editing it) for the exemplary Facing the Modern: The Portrait in Vienna 1900, now running in London - about 17 a day. Google will nearly always take you to better info & reviews easily enough. Ones from the past that have turned out to be significant are a different matter, as are regular biennials etc. I've worked on a few articles in the category, but it's not something I'm likely to turn into a big part of my editing. Sorry to be discouraging! All the best for the holidays & NY, Johnbod ( talk) 22:12, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

I restored the page, and then moved it to Wikipedia:Sundays at Parmer/Tab header/Tab. Hope that helps. The problem was, it was at [[Wikiproject:xxxx]] instead of [[Wikipedia:xxxx]] -- since there is no namespace called "Wikiproject", this appeared in the main namespace, as though it were a Wikipedia article. WikiProject pages typically exist in the Wikipedia: namespace. Make sense? Let me know if you want some help setting these pages up. - Pete ( talk) 04:21, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot ( talk) 18:46, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

The Real Life Barnstar |
THANK YOU for helping to put together a successful WikiConference USA and for attending the LGBT and Cascadia meetups. You deserve much more than a barnstar. :) Another Believer ( Talk) 13:05, 2 June 2014 (UTC) |
Dear OR drohowa: Is this report accurate: WikiConference USA bans critic from open meeting? If it is accurate do you know if a response from the conference organizers is forthcoming? I won't spend time explaining exactly how upsetting this is and how very bad it looks on its face until the accuracy of the report is confirmed. It looks really bad, though, and I really hope there's a plausible explanation. Note that I'm not asking about the rejection of Kohs's presentation, but only about the allegation that he was barred from an event touted as "open to all participants, regardless of previous level of involvement with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia projects. We welcome the curious, the skeptical, and others wishing to engage in meaningful conversation about the Wikimedia movement in the United States, free culture and digital rights, advocacy and outreach, community building, and technology." I posted the same question on Newyorkbrad's talk page, but he declined to respond substantively. I am also leaving it on the talk pages of the other conference organizers.— alf laylah wa laylah ( talk) 14:45, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

hi dorothy, was wondering if you might be interested in helping me with an article i'm trying to get through the approval process. i noticed you created the printed matter, inc page, and thought perhaps you might be familiar with the article in question (i worked at printed matter for a year). i'm currently in the process of making a page for Badlands Unlimited, an art press focused on contemporary art. you can find the page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Badlands_Unlimited. i'm reaching out to you as you seem to have a lot of experience writing wiki pages, whereas i have little to none. i understand if you are too swamped pursuing topics more befitting your interests, just wanted to ask in case Badlands might fall in that category. as you can see from the page, it's had some issues on the notability front, which is confusing to me as i've listed an abundance of sources from publications of note (new yorker, bomb, dazeddigital, complex, bookforum, frieze, dis, observer to name a few), although i am aware the arts publications industry is very insular. if you are too busy to contribute to editing, any advice on how i might get it up to snuff? or any editors who might help get this page approved? thanks for reading!

Hi, OR drohowa. :) I have restored your sandbox with attribution to the source. I see that Corensearchbot left you a note some months about how to copy within Wikipedia. This is a requirement any time you copy content from one space to another, even your sandbox I'm afraid. Content on Wikipedia is not public domain, but is liberally licensed for reuse. The license does not apply, however, if you don't meet the terms of the license, which include attribution. Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia will tell you how to do this in the future. If you've copied content between any other pages, please make sure you provide any necessary attribution. If you have any question, you're welcome to stop by my talk page or summon me here, using my username in brackets ([[User:Moonriddengirl]]). Happy editing! -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:30, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Medical Translation Newsletter
Issue 2, Aug./Sept. 2014
by
CFCF
During August we have translated Disease and it is now live in more than 60 different languages! To help us focus on African languages Rubric has donated a large number of articles in languages we haven't previously reached–so a shout out them, and Ian Henderson from Rubric who's joined us here at Wikipedia. We're very happy for our continued collaboration with both Rubric and Translators without Borders!
At Wikimania there were so many enthusiastic people jumping at the chance to help out the Medical Translation Project, but unfortunately not all of them knew how to get started. That is why we've been spending considerable time writing and improving guides! They are finally live, and you can find them at our home-page!
We're proud to announce a new sign up page at WP:MTSIGNUP! The old page was getting cluttered and didn't allow you to speficy a role. The new page should be easier to sign up to, and easier to navigate so that we can reach you when you're needed!
Translations are of both full articles and shorter articles continues. The process where short articles are chosen for translation hasn't been fully transparent. In the coming months we hope to have a first guide, so that anyone who writes medical or health articles knows how to get their articles to a standard where they can be translated! That's why we're currently working on medical good lede criteria! The idea is to have a similar peer review process to good article nominations, but only for ledes.

Hi! First, welcome to the GGTF!
Second, you probably want to send an OTRS email about File:Kim_Levin.jpg. This mean an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org as described at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:OTRS . It should explain why the image is under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license, and ideally be from the photographer. Once you've sent the email, you want to edit the image and mark it with {{template:OTRS pending}}, which looks like this once it's expanded: {{ OTRS pending}} until some OTRS volunteer reads your mail and replaces it with an OTRS received note. See, Commons is very strict about making sure that it only hosts properly released images, and some Commons editor may well happen upon the image, see that it was uploaded by person A - you - who was not the photographer - and still claims that the image is released, without giving evidence, and might confuse you for someone who was just browsing the internet saw a nice photo on a web page somewhere, snarfed it without permission, and uploaded it. Then the image would be deleted for lacking evidence of permission, which would be a shame. -- GRuban ( talk) 18:10, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Have you heard of the Kaffeeklatsch? It is a test area for women to hear and support each other. The idea came about as a result of a discussion at meta regarding my IdeaLab proposal (yet open) for WikiProject Women.
Now that the klatsch has survived an MfD and WMF legal has said that it does not violate the non discrimination policy, [250] I am looking for women editors who might like to join.
Although I have started a couple of discussions, they are not urgent. For now, the "Please introduce yourself" discussion is more important! I want to take it slow at first and build a small group before trying to address heavy topics or come up with big goals. For now, the klatsch is there as a sort of refuge. I hope you will consider joining, and invite other women editors, too, if you wish. Lightbreather ( talk) 22:59, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I just saw your comment, "Hi I created this page to host an essay just quickly as I exported the book. This is for a publishing purpose but I wanted to use the format here. Thanks, and my intention was to delete right away. DH". I'm curious about it, because it's clear from your editing history that you're thoroughly familiar with the use of pages in your user space. In fact, the article you created came from one of them. What did creating an article in the main space allow that you weren't able to do directly from your user space? —Largo Plazo ( talk) 22:20, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

As it builds off of some of your prior/current work, I'd greatly appreciate your feedback on my Project Idea. I'm hoping that we can begin to more thoroughly characterize our editing community in an effort to extend our reach to underrepresented groups on Wikipedia.

Hope you do not mind a few small pointers. We tend to use the words "person" rather than "patient" 99% of the time just to make our text less clinical per WP:MEDMOS. Also this "Mitchell, SL; Kiely, DK; Lipsitz, LA (Feb 10, 1997). "The risk factors and impact on survival of feeding tube placement in nursing home residents with severe cognitive impairment". Archives of internal medicine. 157 (3): 327–32. PMID 9040301." is a primary sources rather than a secondary source. We try to use review articles generally per WP:MEDRS.

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

Greetings OR and thanks for your contributions. I noticed your talk page edit at Template talk:WikiProject United States to add a GLAM project to the list of supported projects. Unfortunately I had to remove all the GLAM projects from the template so we cannot do that. This was because several editors (some of which don't even participate in WPUS) felt that the WPUS project was overreaching its scope and some of the GLAM projects had content that was too far removed from WPUS (Paintings, artists and other content unrelated to the US). Rather than include only the content that pertained to the US and share that between the 2 projects, the consensus required the removal of the GLAM projects and the cease of support from WPUS. Which also means several of the GLAM projects don't have any active support. Which I feel is unfortunate and you can probably sense my irritation in that decision. Anyway, just wanted to let you know. Take care and happy editing. Kumioko ( talk) 16:48, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Block message:
Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "METROtrain6". The reason given for METROtrain6's block is: " This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username does not meet our username policy. Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing. A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by: Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username. If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. ".
Accept reason: Autoblock lifted. -- jpgordon ::==( o ) 18:14, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
The reason given for METROtrain6's block is that the username is incorrect. This was my fault, but I understand now why the block happened. I created that account because I'm a WiR and I'm doing a training at Queens Public Library tomorrow and many of the people I will be training have a block IP address at their institution. I created that account here, so it could be passed on to someone at the training to begin using. I now understand that I should have never created an account for someone else, but I need my account to be unblocked in order to help facilitate the training tomorrow. Please write back if you have further concerns. OR drohowa ( talk) 18:08, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

The article East Art Map has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

When I visited the New York Hall of Science, I thought it seemed too much like a children's museum, even though it wasn't officially. Being broke, there are plenty of NYC museums I still haven't visited. I was in Jacksonville, Florida for 4 months to the day (arrived January 16, 2012; departed-May 15, 2012), of which I was employed for about 3 1/2 months. I visited two museums there (Wikipedia shows that there are nine total). Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens is the best--it's kind of a mini Met. Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville was a bit disappointing because their special exhibitions take up almost the entirety of the museum, other than the classroom area (mostly for kids), the auditorium, cafe, and gift shop. They have a permanent collection, but it's kept in storage if it's not related to the special exhibition, presumably at University of North Florida, which runs it. I've been to more art galleries than I can name, but mostly my museum going in NYC has been MoMA, Met, and AMNH, plus some library exhibitions. The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is so cool that I know people who have had their weddings there. -- Scottandrewhutchins ( talk) 23:27, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Dorothy, I just wanted to bring Wikimedia LGBT, a proposed user group and thematic organization that promotes the development of content on Wikimedia projects which is of interest to LGBT communities, to your attention. I am sure you are so busy with your current projects, but I hope you might be able to direct people to this group if they are interested in LGBT content in any way. Of course, you are also more than welcome to indicate your interest/support, if you wish. Hopefully we can get some LGBT-related GLAM projects up and running in the near future.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Jawwad Durrani Talk to me 16:11, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Art & Feminism Edit-a-Thon - You are invited! | |

Hi Hexatekin! The first
Art and Feminism Edit-a-thon will be held on Saturday, February 1, 2014 in New York City Any editors interested in the intersection of feminism and art are welcome. Wikipedians of all experience levels are invited! Experienced editors will be on hand to help new editors. |
Hi! Well I seem to be the first to take up your invitation. I have to say I'm not sure I see the need for a new wikiproject. Unless they are well supported they are probably better off remaining part of a larger one. I'm a bit dubious about articles about current one-off exhibitions (though I've done at least one myself), and they usually get very few readers, even while the show is on; look at the views (from Dec 12 when he stopped editing it) for the exemplary Facing the Modern: The Portrait in Vienna 1900, now running in London - about 17 a day. Google will nearly always take you to better info & reviews easily enough. Ones from the past that have turned out to be significant are a different matter, as are regular biennials etc. I've worked on a few articles in the category, but it's not something I'm likely to turn into a big part of my editing. Sorry to be discouraging! All the best for the holidays & NY, Johnbod ( talk) 22:12, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Wouldn't a subpage in the Wikipedia:Meetup space be more appropriate? Just an idea. -- NeilN talk to me 15:03, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
I restored the page, and then moved it to Wikipedia:Sundays at Parmer/Tab header/Tab. Hope that helps. The problem was, it was at [[Wikiproject:xxxx]] instead of [[Wikipedia:xxxx]] -- since there is no namespace called "Wikiproject", this appeared in the main namespace, as though it were a Wikipedia article. WikiProject pages typically exist in the Wikipedia: namespace. Make sense? Let me know if you want some help setting these pages up. - Pete ( talk) 04:21, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot ( talk) 18:46, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Doing so causes the page history to be left behind. Wikipedia has a tool that allows moving a page while keeping the history in one piece. If you feel a move may be controversial, or the move fails, see Wikipedia:Requested moves. MER-C 12:02, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

THANK YOU for helping to put together a successful WikiConference USA and for attending the LGBT and Cascadia meetups. You deserve much more than a barnstar. :) Another Believer ( Talk) 13:05, 2 June 2014 (UTC) |
Dear OR drohowa: Is this report accurate: WikiConference USA bans critic from open meeting? If it is accurate do you know if a response from the conference organizers is forthcoming? I won't spend time explaining exactly how upsetting this is and how very bad it looks on its face until the accuracy of the report is confirmed. It looks really bad, though, and I really hope there's a plausible explanation. Note that I'm not asking about the rejection of Kohs's presentation, but only about the allegation that he was barred from an event touted as "open to all participants, regardless of previous level of involvement with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia projects. We welcome the curious, the skeptical, and others wishing to engage in meaningful conversation about the Wikimedia movement in the United States, free culture and digital rights, advocacy and outreach, community building, and technology." I posted the same question on Newyorkbrad's talk page, but he declined to respond substantively. I am also leaving it on the talk pages of the other conference organizers.— alf laylah wa laylah ( talk) 14:45, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

hi dorothy, was wondering if you might be interested in helping me with an article i'm trying to get through the approval process. i noticed you created the printed matter, inc page, and thought perhaps you might be familiar with the article in question (i worked at printed matter for a year). i'm currently in the process of making a page for Badlands Unlimited, an art press focused on contemporary art. you can find the page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Badlands_Unlimited. i'm reaching out to you as you seem to have a lot of experience writing wiki pages, whereas i have little to none. i understand if you are too swamped pursuing topics more befitting your interests, just wanted to ask in case Badlands might fall in that category. as you can see from the page, it's had some issues on the notability front, which is confusing to me as i've listed an abundance of sources from publications of note (new yorker, bomb, dazeddigital, complex, bookforum, frieze, dis, observer to name a few), although i am aware the arts publications industry is very insular. if you are too busy to contribute to editing, any advice on how i might get it up to snuff? or any editors who might help get this page approved? thanks for reading!

Hi, OR drohowa. :) I have restored your sandbox with attribution to the source. I see that Corensearchbot left you a note some months about how to copy within Wikipedia. This is a requirement any time you copy content from one space to another, even your sandbox I'm afraid. Content on Wikipedia is not public domain, but is liberally licensed for reuse. The license does not apply, however, if you don't meet the terms of the license, which include attribution. Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia will tell you how to do this in the future. If you've copied content between any other pages, please make sure you provide any necessary attribution. If you have any question, you're welcome to stop by my talk page or summon me here, using my username in brackets ([[User:Moonriddengirl]]). Happy editing! -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:30, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Medical Translation Newsletter
Issue 2, Aug./Sept. 2014
by
CFCF
During August we have translated Disease and it is now live in more than 60 different languages! To help us focus on African languages Rubric has donated a large number of articles in languages we haven't previously reached–so a shout out them, and Ian Henderson from Rubric who's joined us here at Wikipedia. We're very happy for our continued collaboration with both Rubric and Translators without Borders!
At Wikimania there were so many enthusiastic people jumping at the chance to help out the Medical Translation Project, but unfortunately not all of them knew how to get started. That is why we've been spending considerable time writing and improving guides! They are finally live, and you can find them at our home-page!
We're proud to announce a new sign up page at WP:MTSIGNUP! The old page was getting cluttered and didn't allow you to speficy a role. The new page should be easier to sign up to, and easier to navigate so that we can reach you when you're needed!
Translations are of both full articles and shorter articles continues. The process where short articles are chosen for translation hasn't been fully transparent. In the coming months we hope to have a first guide, so that anyone who writes medical or health articles knows how to get their articles to a standard where they can be translated! That's why we're currently working on medical good lede criteria! The idea is to have a similar peer review process to good article nominations, but only for ledes.

Hi! First, welcome to the GGTF!
Second, you probably want to send an OTRS email about File:Kim_Levin.jpg. This mean an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org as described at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:OTRS . It should explain why the image is under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license, and ideally be from the photographer. Once you've sent the email, you want to edit the image and mark it with {{template:OTRS pending}}, which looks like this once it's expanded: {{ OTRS pending}} until some OTRS volunteer reads your mail and replaces it with an OTRS received note. See, Commons is very strict about making sure that it only hosts properly released images, and some Commons editor may well happen upon the image, see that it was uploaded by person A - you - who was not the photographer - and still claims that the image is released, without giving evidence, and might confuse you for someone who was just browsing the internet saw a nice photo on a web page somewhere, snarfed it without permission, and uploaded it. Then the image would be deleted for lacking evidence of permission, which would be a shame. -- GRuban ( talk) 18:10, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Have you heard of the Kaffeeklatsch? It is a test area for women to hear and support each other. The idea came about as a result of a discussion at meta regarding my IdeaLab proposal (yet open) for WikiProject Women.
Now that the klatsch has survived an MfD and WMF legal has said that it does not violate the non discrimination policy, [250] I am looking for women editors who might like to join.
Although I have started a couple of discussions, they are not urgent. For now, the "Please introduce yourself" discussion is more important! I want to take it slow at first and build a small group before trying to address heavy topics or come up with big goals. For now, the klatsch is there as a sort of refuge. I hope you will consider joining, and invite other women editors, too, if you wish. Lightbreather ( talk) 22:59, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I just saw your comment, "Hi I created this page to host an essay just quickly as I exported the book. This is for a publishing purpose but I wanted to use the format here. Thanks, and my intention was to delete right away. DH". I'm curious about it, because it's clear from your editing history that you're thoroughly familiar with the use of pages in your user space. In fact, the article you created came from one of them. What did creating an article in the main space allow that you weren't able to do directly from your user space? —Largo Plazo ( talk) 22:20, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Hope you do not mind a few small pointers. We tend to use the words "person" rather than "patient" 99% of the time just to make our text less clinical per WP:MEDMOS. Also this "Mitchell, SL; Kiely, DK; Lipsitz, LA (Feb 10, 1997). "The risk factors and impact on survival of feeding tube placement in nursing home residents with severe cognitive impairment". Archives of internal medicine. 157 (3): 327–32. PMID 9040301." is a primary sources rather than a secondary source. We try to use review articles generally per WP:MEDRS.

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.
