Hi there - welcome to the Userboxes Project!! I think you will find this project is more disorganized, but more fun than some of the more serious projects! It is also nice to see more Wikipedians from Ottawa on the project! Happy boxing! - Ahunt ( talk) 01:06, 24 November 2008 (UTC) (also from Ottawa)
Thanks! I look forward to being part of the team! Icelilly ( talk) 01:16, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
- Here is one way you could help out - we are looking for humourous userboxes that people may have made and not listed anywhere. If you are prowling around anyone's user page and see a funny userbox they can be added to the listing at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Wikipedia/humour. - Ahunt ( talk) 14:22, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Icelilly!
I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!
It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!
Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!
Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
