[1]. Your WP signature should include a link to your WP userpage ( User:Pine) -- hydrox ( talk) 20:49, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
I'm confused. First, I DO check this page, and you only left this message yesterday, so I have no idea how you'd come to the conclusion that I don't check this page. Second, the signature is NOT malformed. It links to this page. I see what you mean. Wikipedia seems confused because of the usurp. I'll look at that, thanks.

{{ adminhelp}} This page, and the associated user page, need a history split. On 13 June, the previous "User:Pine" was renamed to "User:Pine (usurped) [2], and "User:GreenPine" was renamed to "User:Pine" [3]. At that time, this user talk page had just a single revision - the notification about the usurp [4]. However, after the rename, the "new" Pine copied over their talk page, here [5]. Hence, it needs splitting, and the bulk of it merging back to the rightful location at User talk:Pine. And, User talk:GreenPine needs merging into User talk:Pine. And, User talk:GreenPine should redirect to User talk:Pine And, this page - "User talk:Pine" - should end up with just the usurp request. I think :-s Same for the user page.

Pine, hiya.
I noticed your troubles with the rename; some of the pages got a bit mixed-up; the above request was me, working with an admin, to sort things out.
All should now be fine!
Your user page is just User:Pine, and your user talk page is this one, User talk:Pine.
We've restored the edit history of your user-talk page.
You don't need to edit any other user/talk pages.
You should always log in as "Pine".
The user/user-talk of GreenPine will redirect to this one (just in-case anyone follows a link from your old signature).
The pages at User:Pine (usurped) and User talk:Pine (usurped) serve as a record of what happened.
I hope that is all OK now, and I'm sorry you had difficulties.
Also, my thanks to m'colleague The Earwig ( talk · contribs) for helping sort it all out.
-I am trying to resolve that part right now (I'm in contact with Avic, who I believe you spoke to before) and group contacts; I will write more here within the hour.
Doing... ...
I'm sorry; I did try to resolve your IRC Cloak issues, but I was unable to do so; I was told, you need to just apply for a cloak in the normal way, WP:CLOAK. Chzz ► 05:23, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

:D I'm going to see the Caps play tonight, so I won't be available on IRC. I didn't add any additional information of substance to the article between last night and tonight. I did run a spell check on the document, and corrected a few obvious errors. The table that compares Female created articles v Male created articles is in a footnote, starting on line 401. The methodology was as follows: I got a list of articles I created (about 495) and a list of articles Hawkeye7 created (about 46) and checked the formal gender coding of my articles vs Hawkeye7's articles. I did a very basic analysis, consisting of the following table:
Category | Count | Per cent |
---|---|---|
Total Female Written Articles In Sample | 495 | 91.50% |
Total Male Written Articles in Sample | 46 | 8.50% |
Total Identified Female Writing | 37 | 6.84% |
Total Identified Male Writing | 504 | 93.16% |
Total Female Written Articles Female Writing For Female Articles | 34 | 6.87% |
Total Female Written Articles Male Writing for Female Articles | 461 | 93.13% |
Total Male Topic Female Writing for Male Articles | 3 | 6.52% |
Total Male Topic Male Writing for Male Articles | 43 | 93.48% |
This was it. It supports the idea that there is no fundamental difference between male user/male identified and female user/female identified articles on the main space. The sample size of male and female users is limited to one each. These articles have likely been edited by many other users of both genders. The small sample size is why this information was put as a footnote instead of in its own section. If you think it is worth breaking out into its own section, I'm fine with the decision. I just wanted to note the relatively small sample size and fact that we can't assume the articles were exclusively edited by people who shared the same gender characteristics as the creators. (I know some of mine have not, as I have taken about ten to DYK, after asking for editing help from two males.)
I renamed the section that is now Comparison of Articles on Wikipedia and Other Wikis to that. This section is about where I think we left off in editing. Around line 796, "Using the analysis setting for..." I made what had been three paragraphs into one and tried to link it a bit better. The conclusions could be little more firm. I moved the wikiHow information that was in the conclusion part of that section to 623, where I also added information that helps suggest Geek Feminism Wiki has a female contributor base. If you think it would make more sense and give greater cohesion in the conclusion of the section, please feel free to move it back. :)
Outside of the areas mentioned (which please by all means fix), I think the second draft is mostly done and could use a cursory overview for a third reading. I've left the link for you on memoserv. If there are any major issues, I should be back around 9pm UTC+11, though I assume you'll likely be asleep by then. :)
Thanks again for the help. -- LauraHale ( talk) 05:44, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Pine! I've just come across one of your edits (or that you have been patrolling new pages), and noticed that you might appreciate some help with references.
I case you're not aware, you might consider using this tool – it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script:
// Add [[WP:Reflinks]] launcher in the toolbox on left addOnloadHook(function () { addPortletLink( "p-tb", // toolbox portlet "http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/webreflinks.py/" + wgPageName + "?client=script&citeweb=on&overwrite=&limit=30&lang=" + wgContentLanguage, "Reflinks" // link label )});
onto Special:MyPage/skin.js, then paste the bare URL between your <ref></ref> tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for PDF documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well. You may consider taking on Category:Articles needing link rot cleanup. So long! -- Sp33dyphil © • © 09:24, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Category | Gender | Count | Percentage |

We're dealing with a much smaller sample from a site that has 43% female participation but an overall smaller contributor base. They have a greater percentage of females identifying with userboxes than Wikipedia does. (Suggests to me that women feel even more comfortable expressing femaleness there.) Beyond that, the program correctly identifies women 11% more often than it does on Wikipedia. 11% in this case seems significant to me. I think we can assume some bias for male writing nature in both spaces because of the factual nature conveyance for both… but Wikipedia's population and WikiHow's should match up if they were attracting similar types of females… and they aren't because there is that 11% difference. Beyond that, the program correctly identified male users within 1% (both roughly 71%) for wikiHow and Wikipedia. This says to me the two wikis have unique groups of female users as their characteristics are not the same.
Better idea of the users with in the group…

Hi. :D As you do a fantastic job editing, I was wondering if you might be willing to help improve some of the articles on Perspectives on women in the WMF movement. At the moment, I've mostly done a lot of random putting of data into these articles, much of which is repetitive across different countries. They have no organisation, no framework and often utilise really poor grammar. :( It would be great to improve the organisation and flow on some of these articles, begin to give some of them a more unique feel… instead of a generic perspective with just the numbers changed. :) The purpose of these little sections is to bench mark women's related content by country, the on wiki involvement of women women from a certain country, the involvement of women inside the country (chapters or running events) and the involvement of women behind the scenes in the larger context of Wikimedia Foundation projects. It needs to be written as neutrally as possible, to not condemn the WMF for any failures here, nor to make the WMF look extra special awesome for how well they have done that. You're good with doing that balance. :) -- LauraHale ( talk) 21:50, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Panoramas go in the panorama category. It's a panorama, so... If you think that categorising content based on height to width ratio is silly, I'm likely to agree with you. However, that would mean re-allocating all the existing panoramas. I was involved in a big re-organisation that was started many months ago and is now mostly complete, where among other things, the distinction between wikipedian and non-wikipedian images was removed. If you want to argue for something similar w.r.t. panoramas, I will support your argument, but I won't be doing any of the work.

March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! Here's the mid-drive newsletter. Participation: We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far. Special thanks: Special thanks to Stfg, who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers.

Wrt your most recent at Depression (mood), my comment that medication, psychotherapy and ECT are the mainstays of medical treatment is readily sourceable, but I agree with its removal until it's sourced to a WP:MEDRS-compliant source. As for the applicability and efficacy of the other interventions for depression associated with psychiatric syndromes, I'm concerned that we don't mislead the reader. Would you consider deleting that content until those assertions are sourced to a WP:MEDRS-compliant source?
The present content of that whole article is mostly uncontroversial, but it nevertheless is badly bereft of sources. I've got a lot on right now, but will eventually get to that if no one else has in the meantime. -- Anthonyhcole ( talk) 06:57, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors
March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{ GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated.

May 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter
Participation: Out of 49 people signed up for this drive so far, 26 have copy-edited at least one article. It's a smaller group than last drive, but we're making good progress. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive, largely due to the efforts of Lfstevens and the others on the leaderboard. Thanks to all. We have reduced our target group of articles—January, February, and March 2011—by over half, and it looks like we will achieve that goal. Good progress is being made on the overall backlog as well, with over 500 articles copy-edited during the drive so far. The total backlog currently sits at around 3200 articles. Hall of Fame: GOCE coordinator Diannaa was awarded a spot in the GOCE Hall of Fame this month! She has copy-edited over 1567 articles during these drives, and surpassed the 1,000,000-word mark on May 5. On to the second million! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg

I was strolling thru my new HighBeam account and did a search on Chesterfield, Idaho, an article I worked on when I first got started. I saw on HighBeam where the photographer of the images, Val Roberts, had passed away a few months back at the age of 75. I've always loved this photo he took of the Denmark Jensen cabin. It is a saltbox house built in 1884, three years after Chesterfield was settled. The small building to the right is a root cellar. Do you think it is FP worth? Sorry, I've done FA and FL, but I'm not a photographer, so I have no idea about FPs. Bgwhite ( talk) 06:52, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi there, Pine. Thanks for continuing to follow up the discussion on CPO and related articles. I've posted a fairly detailed response to Fifelfoo's plagiarism allegation, and offered some alternative sources to Lexology below.

Hello Pine. We use the GOCE Requests page for requests made by editors to GOCE as a whole, that any editor may pick up. Throughout Wikipedia, many copy edits and similar things are done by private arrangement, and we don't record or archive those, as there is really no need. My understanding was that you did STRAT-X when Sp33dyphil accepted an offer you made privately. If so, we don't need to record that. Have I misunderstood it? Kind regards, -- Stfg ( talk) 11:47, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

I didn't get the chance to give a better explanation than what was given when someone else reverted, so here it is: The territories are not part of the country, but rather possessions thereof, just like Gibraltar and Man, etc., are not parts of the United Kingdom. The United States itself is constituted by fifty states, one federal district, and one incorporated, unorganized territory (Palmyra Atoll). Everything else is an unincorporated territory, and thus not part of the constitutional framework. -- Golbez ( talk) 13:59, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Pine, Us UW folks are looking for a few veteran Wikipedians to participate in a usability study of our new editing toolbar, called Re:Flex. The study would require you to come to our lab in Sieg Hall on UW campus (at a date and time that works for you), would talke approximately 1 hour, and you will be compensated for your time.
This study has been approved by RComm and by UW's Institutional Review Board, and any additional information about the study (such as the purpose of the study, and how we will store and use your session data) is available upon request.
It's possible someone from UW already approached you about this at the WikNic (if so, sorry for the request spam!). Does this sound interesting? Reply here (or email me) if so, or if you have any questions. Cheers, - J-Mo Talk to Me Email Me 22:52, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

{{ adminhelp}} This page, and the associated user page, need a history split. On 13 June, the previous "User:Pine" was renamed to "User:Pine (usurped) [2], and "User:GreenPine" was renamed to "User:Pine" [3]. At that time, this user talk page had just a single revision - the notification about the usurp [4]. However, after the rename, the "new" Pine copied over their talk page, here [5]. Hence, it needs splitting, and the bulk of it merging back to the rightful location at User talk:Pine. And, User talk:GreenPine needs merging into User talk:Pine. And, User talk:GreenPine should redirect to User talk:Pine And, this page - "User talk:Pine" - should end up with just the usurp request. I think :-s Same for the user page.

Pine, hiya.
I noticed your troubles with the rename; some of the pages got a bit mixed-up; the above request was me, working with an admin, to sort things out.
All should now be fine!
Your user page is just User:Pine, and your user talk page is this one, User talk:Pine.
We've restored the edit history of your user-talk page.
You don't need to edit any other user/talk pages.
You should always log in as "Pine".
The user/user-talk of GreenPine will redirect to this one (just in-case anyone follows a link from your old signature).
The pages at User:Pine (usurped) and User talk:Pine (usurped) serve as a record of what happened.
I hope that is all OK now, and I'm sorry you had difficulties.
Also, my thanks to m'colleague The Earwig ( talk · contribs) for helping sort it all out.
-I am trying to resolve that part right now (I'm in contact with Avic, who I believe you spoke to before) and group contacts; I will write more here within the hour.

Went out to dinner and forgot to set myself away. :( Sorry about that. -- LauraHale ( talk) 07:35, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
:D I'm going to see the Caps play tonight, so I won't be available on IRC. I didn't add any additional information of substance to the article between last night and tonight. I did run a spell check on the document, and corrected a few obvious errors. The table that compares Female created articles v Male created articles is in a footnote, starting on line 401. The methodology was as follows: I got a list of articles I created (about 495) and a list of articles Hawkeye7 created (about 46) and checked the formal gender coding of my articles vs Hawkeye7's articles. I did a very basic analysis, consisting of the following table:
Category | Count | Per cent |
---|---|---|
Total Female Written Articles In Sample | 495 | 91.50% |
Total Male Written Articles in Sample | 46 | 8.50% |
Total Identified Female Writing | 37 | 6.84% |
Total Identified Male Writing | 504 | 93.16% |
Total Female Written Articles Female Writing For Female Articles | 34 | 6.87% |
Total Female Written Articles Male Writing for Female Articles | 461 | 93.13% |
Total Male Topic Female Writing for Male Articles | 3 | 6.52% |
Total Male Topic Male Writing for Male Articles | 43 | 93.48% |
This was it. It supports the idea that there is no fundamental difference between male user/male identified and female user/female identified articles on the main space. The sample size of male and female users is limited to one each. These articles have likely been edited by many other users of both genders. The small sample size is why this information was put as a footnote instead of in its own section. If you think it is worth breaking out into its own section, I'm fine with the decision. I just wanted to note the relatively small sample size and fact that we can't assume the articles were exclusively edited by people who shared the same gender characteristics as the creators. (I know some of mine have not, as I have taken about ten to DYK, after asking for editing help from two males.)
I renamed the section that is now Comparison of Articles on Wikipedia and Other Wikis to that. This section is about where I think we left off in editing. Around line 796, "Using the analysis setting for..." I made what had been three paragraphs into one and tried to link it a bit better. The conclusions could be little more firm. I moved the wikiHow information that was in the conclusion part of that section to 623, where I also added information that helps suggest Geek Feminism Wiki has a female contributor base. If you think it would make more sense and give greater cohesion in the conclusion of the section, please feel free to move it back. :)
Outside of the areas mentioned (which please by all means fix), I think the second draft is mostly done and could use a cursory overview for a third reading. I've left the link for you on memoserv. If there are any major issues, I should be back around 9pm UTC+11, though I assume you'll likely be asleep by then. :)
Thanks again for the help. -- LauraHale ( talk) 05:44, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

// Add [[WP:Reflinks]] launcher in the toolbox on left addOnloadHook(function () { addPortletLink( "p-tb", // toolbox portlet "http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/webreflinks.py/" + wgPageName + "?client=script&citeweb=on&overwrite=&limit=30&lang=" + wgContentLanguage, "Reflinks" // link label )});
onto Special:MyPage/skin.js, then paste the bare URL between your <ref></ref> tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for PDF documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well. You may consider taking on Category:Articles needing link rot cleanup. So long! -- Sp33dyphil © • © 09:24, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

We're dealing with a much smaller sample from a site that has 43% female participation but an overall smaller contributor base. They have a greater percentage of females identifying with userboxes than Wikipedia does. (Suggests to me that women feel even more comfortable expressing femaleness there.) Beyond that, the program correctly identifies women 11% more often than it does on Wikipedia. 11% in this case seems significant to me. I think we can assume some bias for male writing nature in both spaces because of the factual nature conveyance for both… but Wikipedia's population and WikiHow's should match up if they were attracting similar types of females… and they aren't because there is that 11% difference. Beyond that, the program correctly identified male users within 1% (both roughly 71%) for wikiHow and Wikipedia. This says to me the two wikis have unique groups of female users as their characteristics are not the same.
Better idea of the users with in the group…

I think it would be a little ironic of me to close that discussion, considering I've participated in it! I'm not sure it really needs closing as such- no changes need to be made, nothing needs to be clarified. Everyone seems to agree that there are occasions when a participant may be a closer, but most also seem to agree that no guidelines need to be added. J Milburn ( talk) 23:29, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
That is not vandalism, not even borderline- he is opposing based on perceived flaws in the picture.

Hi. :D As you do a fantastic job editing, I was wondering if you might be willing to help improve some of the articles on Perspectives on women in the WMF movement. At the moment, I've mostly done a lot of random putting of data into these articles, much of which is repetitive across different countries. They have no organisation, no framework and often utilise really poor grammar. :( It would be great to improve the organisation and flow on some of these articles, begin to give some of them a more unique feel… instead of a generic perspective with just the numbers changed. :) The purpose of these little sections is to bench mark women's related content by country, the on wiki involvement of women women from a certain country, the involvement of women inside the country (chapters or running events) and the involvement of women behind the scenes in the larger context of Wikimedia Foundation projects. It needs to be written as neutrally as possible, to not condemn the WMF for any failures here, nor to make the WMF look extra special awesome for how well they have done that. You're good with doing that balance. :) -- LauraHale ( talk) 21:50, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Panoramas go in the panorama category. It's a panorama, so... If you think that categorising content based on height to width ratio is silly, I'm likely to agree with you. However, that would mean re-allocating all the existing panoramas. I was involved in a big re-organisation that was started many months ago and is now mostly complete, where among other things, the distinction between wikipedian and non-wikipedian images was removed. If you want to argue for something similar w.r.t. panoramas, I will support your argument, but I won't be doing any of the work.

![]() Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! Here's the mid-drive newsletter. Participation: We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far. Special thanks: Special thanks to Stfg, who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers.

Wrt your most recent at Depression (mood), my comment that medication, psychotherapy and ECT are the mainstays of medical treatment is readily sourceable, but I agree with its removal until it's sourced to a WP:MEDRS-compliant source. As for the applicability and efficacy of the other interventions for depression associated with psychiatric syndromes, I'm concerned that we don't mislead the reader. Would you consider deleting that content until those assertions are sourced to a WP:MEDRS-compliant source?
The present content of that whole article is mostly uncontroversial, but it nevertheless is badly bereft of sources. I've got a lot on right now, but will eventually get to that if no one else has in the meantime. -- Anthonyhcole ( talk) 06:57, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

![]() Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{ GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated.

I was strolling thru my new HighBeam account and did a search on Chesterfield, Idaho, an article I worked on when I first got started. I saw on HighBeam where the photographer of the images, Val Roberts, had passed away a few months back at the age of 75. I've always loved this photo he took of the Denmark Jensen cabin. It is a saltbox house built in 1884, three years after Chesterfield was settled. The small building to the right is a root cellar. Do you think it is FP worth?

I would like to thank everyone for your questions and comments. If appointed I will strive to do the best job possible for the community and the project I will also keep in mind that according to this log I will be the only non-admin in the group and the best I could hope for is to pave a strong smooth path for future non-admins, again I appreciate your interest, concerns and support.

I didn't get the chance to give a better explanation than what was given when someone else reverted, so here it is: The territories are not part of the country, but rather possessions thereof, just like Gibraltar and Man, etc., are not parts of the United Kingdom. The United States itself is constituted by fifty states, one federal district, and one incorporated, unorganized territory (Palmyra Atoll). Everything else is an unincorporated territory, and thus not part of the constitutional framework. -- Golbez ( talk) 13:59, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar, Pine! A bummer I didn't get to meet you at the Wiknic a few weeks ago. Hope we get to chat at a meetup one of these days. Cheers, - J-Mo Talk to Me Email Me 17:25, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Pine, Us UW folks are looking for a few veteran Wikipedians to participate in a usability study of our new editing toolbar, called Re:Flex. The study would require you to come to our lab in Sieg Hall on UW campus (at a date and time that works for you), would talke approximately 1 hour, and you will be compensated for your time.
This study has been approved by RComm and by UW's Institutional Review Board, and any additional information about the study (such as the purpose of the study, and how we will store and use your session data) is available upon request.
It's possible someone from UW already approached you about this at the WikNic (if so, sorry for the request spam!). Does this sound interesting? Reply here (or email me) if so, or if you have any questions. Cheers, - J-Mo Talk to Me Email Me 22:52, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Pine, sorry you couldn't make the meetings in DC. I fully understand the priorities of work.

Hi! I'm contacting you because you have participated or discussed The Wikipedia Adventure learning tutorial/game idea. I think you should know about a current Community Fellowship proposal to create the game with some Wikimedia Foundation support. Your feedback on the proposal would be very much appreciated. I should note that the feedback is for the proposal, not the proposer, and even if the Fellowship goes forward it might be undertaken by presently not-mentioned editors. Thanks again for your consideration.

Wikipedia Takes America/Seattle needs you. Please sign up to participate, and discuss a date and meeting location. And maybe volunteer to be the organizer. I've been tagging articles needing photos for Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Seattle, Washington. A lot of these articles need proper location data added to that they will appear on the Google map. Thanks! -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 19:52, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
