Hi. The problem with "presynaptic" and "postsynaptic" is that those terms have not been defined up to that point in the article. An article like neuron will mainly be read by people who know little neuroscience, so the net effect of the change for most readers will merely be to make the sentences impossible to understand. I don't want to edit-war with you, but could you give some thought about how to deal with that problem? Regards, Looie496 ( talk) 16:41, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi there; I'm contacting you here per your instructions at

Hi Wakebrdkid!

I'd like to invite you to add an Atlanta event for the Great American Wiknic. This year we're aiming to coalesce nationally around July 6, but any date that is convenient to your local community works as well.

At Wakebrdkid I signed up for the 2014 Wicnic yesterday following your instructions of using 3 tildes. Today I reconsidered my decision to follow instructions as the result, lack of date attachment, makes it look different from the majority of the other responders. It was a help to me, in deciding whether to try to attend, to see that some dates other people responded have been recent. So I edited my post to 4 tildes to include the date. For the average person, it really doesn't matter. As a teacher for 24 years, for me the ability to follow instructions is important. You posted instructions for adding names, so I thought I would let you know that I really did pay attention to the instructions. I'm hoping for some patience and leniency from the group while I work through discovery of what is acceptable. Jenny ( talk) 13:50, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
Good morning Wakebrdkid. I will be watching for the update with more details and possible discussion points. I am inclined to come even if some of it appears to be above my current, as a newbie, comprehension level. I hope just meeting with people supportive of Wiki will be inspirational. Wiki is my go to source for information. I rely heavily on Wiki as a starting place. In my opinion, one of its best features is the ability to click on the source of information and easily see the original source. Needing information this morning after reading a news article, I went to Wiki. The information on Wiki appears to be written by a knowledgeable source but the article is flagged for having no citations. I can not click on a source link and verify information. I am not going to do the research today to verify the information. I will trust it as valid. Today I did look at something that I haven't looked at before, the View History link. For cleanup I see people are using AWB. I went to the maual for AWB and think it would be a lot easier if someone just walked me through it. I wish my library provided How to Edit in Wiki classes. Might there be somebody attending on Sunday who could walk me through? Jenny ( talk)

One possible idea for the Atlanta Wiknic is talk about starting a Wikimedia usergroup for volunteers in your area, maybe loosely defined as " Piedmont Wikimedians". You just need two or three volunteers to come forward, and to simply sign an agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation making use of trademarks and grants for outreach events easier. Similar efforts are underway at New England Wikimedians and Cascadia Wikimedians, and I could help you start a page at meta for your group as well.

This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice.
note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you * sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject MedicineSpotlight - Simplified article translation
Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.
Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.
What's happening?
I've ( CFCF) taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.
For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as
Dutch,
Polish, and
Swedish.
What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not
MEDRS (
Polish,
German,
Romanian,
Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.
Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.
Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here [3]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:23, 22 January 2021 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- TheImaCow ( talk) 20:23, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
