Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:
It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.
At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).
Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.
If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi t | c 17:27, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi GLAM PMA folks! I wanted to update you about some recent events related to our fantastic Museum. I met Jessica Milby, PMA Collections Information Project Manager, at Wikimania in July. Jessica was looking for ways to improve articles on Wikipedia about the Museum and its artists/collections. We followed up a few weeks later at the Perelman Building in downtown Philadelphia where we discussed ways to increase participation in the GLAM/PMA project.
See the stats!

It's exciting to have a partner in Jessica Milby and there should be a lot of good work coming out the collaboration within the next 3-6 months. Please stop by the GLAM/PMA project page and leave your thoughts. What ideas do you have? How can we move forward on the above projects? I Hope you're all well. Cheers!

The event will open with a roundtable discussion about feminism and anti-racist technology projects, followed by an edit-a-thon focusing on feminists & women in science.

Hey! I was wondering if you would like to help me teach people how to edit Wikipedia at the above edit-a-thon. I need some Wikipedians to help troubleshoot problems. I'll be leading the class, but when someone says "wait, I missed the part about how to make a section header", I need a person or two to run over and help them. Would you be willing to do this? Oh, and be excited about Wikipedia? :) Gas would be paid for! Wadewitz ( talk) 17:18, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi PKM - I can have a go at this, but I am actually really not very expert on this era. While I have a basic knowledge/understanding of post-medieval fashion, I only really have wider knowledge of it from about 1600 onwards, and wouldn't presume to consider myself knowledgeable about fashion history in general until the late 17th century. While I am happy to keep tabs on the page if you think I can help, I'm afraid it's outside my area of knowledge so I can't really offer any authoritative input.

We noticed though that when you edited St Luke's Church, Chelsea, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Church ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

The fact was ... that Catherine and Charles Dickens were married in London in 1836 at St Luke's Church, Chelsea (pictured), 12 years after it was finished? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/St Luke's Church, Chelsea. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Please notice the book with a large flower picture in it. No, it's not The Flower Book (Edward Burne-Jones) but it reminded me of the article, and I put in the pic in the Notes section. Feel free to remove it if you think it is not appropriate there.
Most importantly, the pic gave me reason to look at the article again, and it reminded me of how enjoyable it was to work on the article, and in general how enjoyable it was to work with you. If you ever want to get this up to Good or Featured article level, please do let me know.
Also, the pic is linked to an unfinished sandbox article on Georgiana Burne-Jones. I think that it might be worth finishing.

Hi there! I'm Chloe, a Reference Specialist at Gelman Library Special Collections. I'm somewhat new to Wikipedia and am working on creating a WikiProject page for the GWU Special Collections Research Center (SCRC). I've been in touch with several very helpful Wikipedians, including SarahStierch, who suggested I contact you re. creating tabs for our project page. Though I might need to take a step back and ask a more basic question - can I go about creating our project page as I would any article, or do I need special permission to create a page that is part of the Wikipedia:GLAM/Projects? Any advice would be much appreciated, or if you could direct me somewhere where this sort of information already exists that would be awesome, too! (Also, I love your Hobbit quote, I'm currently rereading it and we just contributed to a university magazine story about the first edition Tolkiens we have here at the SCRC.) Cheers, Craub ( talk) 16:47, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Salutations! I've started a blitz on Wikipedia:Requested articles/Arts and entertainment/Fashion, mainly creating redirects and turfing out some of the more bizarre suggestions and obvious spam (particular favourite suggestion: an article on adorable little girl hairdos as demonstrated on YouTube!). I've not been creating new articles at this point but might do so once the list is reduced to a more manageable size, although I did create a stub for Warp printing (aka chiné/pompadour taffeta) which I think might be up your alley and also expanded Shot silk - do feel free to offer a second opinion, as I addressed your concerns about the related sourcing in Taffeta. However, as a compromise, I've been checking on a lot of the terms in the Requested Articles list and where I've seen wider information available or found a definition, I've added a quick note to the article where the title's not obviously explanatory, ie " Albert crepe - 19th century mourning fabric" to give would-be creators a clue as to what something is. Anyway, I thought I might mention it just in case you spot any article suggestions/requests in the list you think look interesting - I saw a number of eighteenth century terms, such as baigneuse, which reminded me of you.
