Hi Rosie! My name is Katie Eberle and I attend Syracuse University in Syracuse, NY. I am part of the US Public Policy Wikipedia Project, in a class called Transnational NGO's in World Affairs. I will be editing a few articles concerning transnational NGO's and one article concerning US policy and was wondering if you would consider being my online ambassador.

Hi! Thank you so much for being my ambassador! I've chosen a couple pages that I am interested in editing, and the first is the Chad-Cameroon Petroleum Development and Pipeline Project. This article needs many more sources, so I am planning on adding those while also just adding more general information, particularly about Cameroon, since most of the article is about Chad. For my class, I need to focus mainly on Non-Governmental Organizational involvement, and so I was thinking about starting a new section for NGO's, and focusing and developing information about just a few of the large organizations that have been involved with this project. I wrote on the discussion page to let everyone know I hoped to start adding information soon. The second topic is more related to US Public Policy, and so I am hoping to edit the Energy Task Force page, although there seems to have some controversy on the discussion page concerning different political point of views, and so maybe I shouldn't get involved? Whew, that's a lot of info! thanks again! Katheb246 ( talk) 23:42, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

I've made a start on User:Nvvchar/Loire River. Its listed under our core articles. See this source for starters. There should be masses of sources on it and of course loads to write about with the major towns and chateaus and vineyards along the river... I feel that this particular article cannot be rushed and can be an ongoing collaboration over some weeks amidst our other work..♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:03, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I wanted an admins opinion on this. I removed the "Satire" section from the Kevin Federline page. I've been thinking of doing that for a while, as it seems to be little more than a list of miscellaneous information and not at all encyclopedic. In addition to that, his public reception is handled in other parts of the article.
I keep an eye daily on the KF page because it seems to be prone to vandalism, although that has been less of an issue lately. AlaskaMike ( talk) 17:25, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I've copied the FA SPanish article to Talk:Barranquilla. I've begun translation. Its a huge article so all help is needed! Should take a few weeks but like with Montevideo and Tenerife etc is a core article. If you could help whenever you can translating a few paragraphs this would be a great help.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:04, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
Done it. Thanks. You may be interested in expanding Llangadfan. Interesting source here. Also Dyfnant Forest, I'm thinking of a double hook.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:44, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Rosie can you try to finish off the translation of Barranquilla before 25th? I'm hoping to nominate within the time limit as it has undergone quite an expansion!♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:05, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Should you have time over the weekend, Budic II of Brittany also need expansion. Its tough to compile something accurate though as there is such contradiction of dates. There is also an interesting (and important) article [here http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Armorique_au_Haut_Moyen_%C3%82ge] I think we should put into English.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:02, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
Not to worry I have Wildlife of Burkina Faso brewing. If you can finish the Barranquilla history today I'll nominate this evening, Polylerus has also been a great help in finishing the rest of it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:12, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Yeah that was the history I initially wrote. That section will have to be merged into the translated stuff somehow!♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:26, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Oh, split into series of multiple articles of course like History of Barranquilla, Architecture of Barranquilla etc and then condense it, although I kind of like it full, but it is eh a little too full I agree. Although Spanish wiki has an even fuller article on its history which could be translated later. However, I don't want to split just yet. We want to DYK it as full first!♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:01, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Yeah author= needs replacing with publisher=. Also I suspect a lot of the references are dead and might need replacing.It shouldn't be too difficult to find sources on such a major city I don't think..♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:07, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Thankyou Rosie for the effort. You are probably too tired right now, but should you find time tomorrow I have started Shaare Zedek Synagogue, Winnipeg which somebody is trying to delete and claim is not notable...You might find something beyond page 3 of google books or web based.. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:37, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Sometimes its split with an S Sedek , that night turn up some further hits, I dunno. I've finished on it for today so all yours, I reached google books page 4, luckily I found a old photo, would be nice to have a modern one too though..♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:10, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

I have zero connection to the company, or to Efron for that matter, but I don't want it to appear that I am making a plug for the company.

Hi Rosie! I have been editing up a storm on the Chad-Cameroon Petroleum Development and Pipeline Project page. right now, for my project, I need to focus more on adding information about NGO's that worked with this project, but so far, I've just done mainly some background info as well as some reformatting. I would love any advice or tips you have, as well as any correction or ways I could reformat to make it flow better! Thank you!! Katheb246 ( talk) 01:06, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey Rosie, Not sure I am doing this correctly....this is the darndest thing to get a hang of! I responded to the independent reviewer (James) but again, not sure it actually went to him. I told him I have the history books of Tennessee that shows she was the first woman "elected" to the senate in Tennessee. I am 100% sure of this. I have two articles, one is a laminated obituary from the Nashville Banner dated 2-23-1966 and the other is a Tennessean/Nashville Banner article in Jan 1945 with a photo of her in the Senate Chambers proclaiming in the article of her being the first woman elected to the senate in Tennessee. I could take a photo of the pictures and email them but submitting them via this method is simply too confusing.
Would it be possible to email me directly at blashlee@hotmail.com ?

Hi! Thank you so much for being my ambassador! I've chosen a couple pages that I am interested in editing, and the first is the Chad-Cameroon Petroleum Development and Pipeline Project. This article needs many more sources, so I am planning on adding those while also just adding more general information, particularly about Cameroon, since most of the article is about Chad. For my class, I need to focus mainly on Non-Governmental Organizational involvement, and so I was thinking about starting a new section for NGO's, and focusing and developing information about just a few of the large organizations that have been involved with this project. I wrote on the discussion page to let everyone know I hoped to start adding information soon. The second topic is more related to US Public Policy, and so I am hoping to edit the Energy Task Force page, although there seems to have some controversy on the discussion page concerning different political point of views, and so maybe I shouldn't get involved? Whew, that's a lot of info! thanks again! Katheb246 ( talk) 23:42, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I wanted an admins opinion on this. I removed the "Satire" section from the Kevin Federline page.

Oh, split into series of multiple articles of course like History of Barranquilla, Architecture of Barranquilla etc and then condense it, although I kind of like it full, but it is eh a little too full I agree.

I added the fact that Zac Efron has endorsed a product line to his personal life section Zac_Efron#Personal_life, with a link to the website. Could you take a peak? I have zero connection to the company, or to Efron for that matter, but I don't want it to appear that I am making a plug for the company. However, I feel its relevant to the article in the same way that William Shatner's celebrity endorsement of Priceline.com is to Shatner's page. I kinda wanted an admin to review the wording. Thanks for your help! AlaskaMike ( talk) 15:53, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Rosie! I have been editing up a storm on the Chad-Cameroon Petroleum Development and Pipeline Project page. right now, for my project, I need to focus more on adding information about NGO's that worked with this project, but so far, I've just done mainly some background info as well as some reformatting. I would love any advice or tips you have, as well as any correction or ways I could reformat to make it flow better! Thank you!! Katheb246 ( talk) 01:06, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey Rosie, Not sure I am doing this correctly....this is the darndest thing to get a hang of! I responded to the independent reviewer (James) but again, not sure it actually went to him. I told him I have the history books of Tennessee that shows she was the first woman "elected" to the senate in Tennessee. I am 100% sure of this. I have two articles, one is a laminated obituary from the Nashville Banner dated 2-23-1966 and the other is a Tennessean/Nashville Banner article in Jan 1945 with a photo of her in the Senate Chambers proclaiming in the article of her being the first woman elected to the senate in Tennessee. I could take a photo of the pictures and email them but submitting them via this method is simply too confusing.
Would it be possible to email me directly at blashlee@hotmail.com ?
