Hello! A few months ago the Wikimedia Foundation invited you to take a survey about your experiences on Wikipedia. You signed up to receive the results. The report is now published on Meta-Wiki! We asked contributors 170 questions across many different topics like diversity, harassment, paid editing, Wikimedia events and many others.
Read the report or watch the
presentation, which is available only in English.
Add your thoughts and comments to the
report talk page.

I am curious whether or not I am able to publish articles yet? And if i can I would need some help with the structure of the article and some advice, thank you in advance =) OscarKoryagin ( talk) 20:47, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
Yes , thank you that does help a lot. OscarKoryagin ( talk) 14:27, 7 November 2018 (UTC) Also, wanted to say that this is strange, since i haven't edited Dave Freeman (American author) article, and for sure did not add voodoo as his religion. OscarKoryagin ( talk) 18:08, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi! Can you please sign the petition to TASS and RIAN requesting them to release certain historic photos (many of them from WWII, others of cosmonauts, women aviators, and historic events) for Wikimedia by adding your signature to the signature section? Many of the images would be very useful to the WiR project. Also, please do spread the word to other Wikipedians. Thanks, -- PlanespotterA320 ( talk) 03:08, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Soooo happy this woman's article is finally rated as high-importance to some project, thank you! I share a name with her and was once mistaken for her at a romance writers' convention, and that was the first article I ever created. Literally within five minutes, while I was feverishly working (not having yet realized I could create in a draft space and then move) it was tagged for speedy deletion. valereee ( talk) 18:11, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
The image for Ida Husted Harper is now 90% done. If I don't update it in a week, could you tell me to get it done, possibly on Facebook? Want to get back into restoration after my break. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 01:23, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Rosie, I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your presentation this afternoon. Unfortunately, my computer was not cooperating and disconnected mid-meeting and I did not have a chance to thank you for taking the time to talk with us. I hope to continue editing after the Wiki Scholars program is over. I have enjoyed participating...and since I am retired, it is a great way to keep my brain active! The Women in Red sounds like a project that will keep me interested, so you may see me hanging around on occasion. Thank you for the encouragement to stay involved. Capejoani ( talk) 01:38, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
First of all, happy birthday Rosiestep! Secondly, thank you so much for coming in to talk to our Women in Science cohort and inspiring the Fellows to keep on writing about women!

Your edit of Talk:Donna Strickland seems to indicate that there is a way to apply ORES to a Wikipedia page. If true, can you please tell me how to do it? Thanks in advance. Roger Hui ( talk) 20:32, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
Thanks. I've installed the ArticleQuality-loader.js script and it seems to work. In particular, I've tried it on the Kenneth E. Iverson page, a subject close to my heart, and ORES rated it 5.46, FA status! You (and Aaron) have made my day! In your opinion, should I (could I in good conscience) upgrade the quality scale in the talk page to higher than the current "starter class"? Roger Hui ( talk) 21:27, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

23:27, 4 December 2018 (UTC)Hi Rosiestep,
I noticed that you made some article quality assessments based on ORES, like this one. Just curious, is the edit itself automated? I am asking because in this case the article does not fit B-class standards under any WikiProject I know—it's not well-referenced, not comprehensive, not well-formatted, etc. etc. I can see how an algorithm might have made an incorrect prediction, due to the long list of works, but just curious if your edit was automated.

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Hi Rosiestep, I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas |
Methinks I see an heavenly Host Of angels on the wing; Methinks I hear their cheerful notes, So merrily they sing. Let all your fears be banished hence, Glad tidings I proclaim; For there's a Savior born today And Jesus is his name. Lay down your crooks and quit your flocks, To Bethlehem repair; And let your wandering steps be squared By yonder shining star. Seek not in courts or palaces; Nor royal curtains draw; But search the stable, See your God extended on the straw. Then learn from hence, ye rural swains, The meekness of your God, Who left the boundless realms of joy, To ransom you with blood. The master of the inn refused A more commodious place; Ungenerous soul of savage mold And destitute of grace. - from William Billings, "Shiloh" |
