Elsewhere you mentioned getting a letter from someone. Would you be willing to ask the sender if they would make an OTRS release to post the text of the letter on wiki? If now is not the time then I understand. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:34, 1 June 2017 (UTC) |

Hi Andy, This is Joseph Jordania, from the University of Melbourne, great fan and supporter of Wikipedia.
Thank you very much for your numerous contributions to Wikipedia - the greatest pool of knowledge of humankind!
People like you, open-minded and altruistic, make this world a better place to live! Thank you!
I searched your talk page as I wanted to write you about the page that you added (category: aposematic species). Aposematism is a relatively unknown phenomenon, and this page is doing a great work, thank you!
I have couple of questions about this page (I will fully understand if you do not have time to answer my questions!):
Once again, thank you! Joseph — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.136.22.133 ( talk) 10:27, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

The FJC website has been revamped, the {{ FJC Bio}} template no longer works in its current form. See Template talk:FJC Bio#Revamped site. -- bender235 ( talk) 08:02, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
This newsletter starts with the motto "common endeavour for 21st century content". To unpack that slogan somewhat, we are particularly interested in the new, post-Wikidata collection of techniques that are flourishing under the Wikimedia collaborative umbrella. To linked data, SPARQL queries and WikiCite, add gamified participation, text mining and new holding areas, with bots, tech and humans working harmoniously.
Scientists, librarians and Wikimedians are coming together and providing a more unified view of an emerging area. Further integration of both its community and its technical aspects can be anticipated.
While Wikipedia will remain the discursive heart of Wikimedia, data-rich and semantic content will support it. We'll aim to be both broad and selective in our coverage. This publication Facto Post (the very opposite of retroactive) and call to action are brought to you monthly by ContentMine.

Hi Pigsonthewing, IMHO, the Template for Find a grave section on unreliable should include a write up. Some users are deleting Find a Grave ref and External links from wikipedia article... See my talk. Need your opinion. I think Find a grave is a reliable source but subject to use with a slight risk. My request is not have the 'removal' part on the template page. SWP13 ( talk) 21:39, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
Dear Pigsonthewing, Many thanks indeed for starting the article on Osmund Reynolds - I see you have done a lot of work on it. It is good to know that some articles suggested at Wikipedia: Requested Articles get answered! Once again, thanks for creation of this page, it is appreciated.

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:
Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.
The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".
The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".
Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 03:39, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Pigsonthewing. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Archie Norman (disambiguation), for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Archie Norman (disambiguation) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Archie Norman (disambiguation) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. GeoffreyT2000 ( talk) 14:06, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
