New York City Meetup
|
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, and have salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).
Well also make preparations for our exciting Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, a free content photography contest for Columbia University students planned for Friday March 28 (about 2 weeks after our meeting).
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.
You're also invited to subscribe to the public
Wikimedia New York City mailing list, which is a great way to receive timely updates.
This has been an automated delivery because you were on
the invite list.

I have cited a number of reliable third party sources in the article Youth United and then reposted it after intimating wizardman, who had deleted it earlier. The lack of reliable third party sources was the only reason given to me and I believe citing 5 different third party reliable sources( mostly from reputed National newspapers) would naturally conclude this discussion. further I have appealed against the previous deletion of the article, so it is not accountable for any speedy deletion tag atleast for the time being, so i removed the tag. I now request you to be cooperative and try to improve the wikipedia with its liberal policies and usages. please go to Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Youth_United for further details.

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Youth United. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Extolmonica ( talk) 13:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
It does seem low, but most of the edits I make are Vandalism reverts - does it take into account automatic summaries? I'm looking at my contribs and it doesn't look nearly as bad as that percentage says.
It shouldn't alter the minor edits bit though, I'll try to increase my edit summaries for those.
Thanks for the notification! ScaldingHotSoup ( talk) 03:42, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Jeff G. I wanted to point out a few things in regards to the Lucifero4 situation. First, you warned him with a vand4 template, even though he had only ever been warned with an unsourced3 template, and that was 2 months ago. Generally, it's best to start at or near the bottom, warnings-wise, especially if it's been a significant period of time since the last warning. Also, whether his edits constitute vandalism is somewhat questionable; he appears to be acting in good, if ill-informed, faith. The last thing I want to do is scare off a contributor, and when it seems like everyone's attacking you, that's often what happens. Last, my personal pet peeve, is not templating the regulars (heck, the only templates I use are block notices, even with IP users). I find it's generally best if you take a second to write out what you're trying to say instead of slapping a template on a talk page. It's much more personal, I think :) Anyways, don't take this to mean that I think you've done something horrible, just a little constructive criticism on some minor points. In any case, you've done a good job bringing this issue to light. Hopefully Luficero4 will be around tomorrow to explain himself. If you want to reply here, I'll see it.

Thanks for uploading Image:Saddam Hussein on his throne.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 12:24, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Dear Jeff,
Hi I just got a message saying something about you reverting some vandalism of mine? I was just wondering where exactly was this vandilism? -- 71.32.77.112 ( talk) 05:26, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't recall this. But thank you for your reply. -- 71.32.77.112 ( talk) 01:03, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
I think we'll need a Flickr Pro account for our Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan project, which will require a large number of uploads. It would be great if we could borrow yours for a bit. If you want to find out if I'm a trustworthy person, see my User:Pharos page and my organization of the Wikimedia New York City chapter. Please respond promptly by e-mail, because the event is March 28. Thanks for your help.-- Pharos ( talk) 03:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi Jeff, an anon IP blanked your user page for no obvious reason. I've restored and semi-protected it. If this isn't convenient, please let me know. Cheers. -- Rodhullandemu ( Talk) 14:39, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi Jeff. I noticed that you recently posted on my talk page, reminding me to provide an edit summary. I had been forgetting to do that recently, so that message was perfectly valid and I thank you for it. Yet later on, I noticed that you warned me. I was a little surprised by this, and wondered what prompted you to do so. NuclearWarfare ( talk) 01:37, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
