Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group
Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.
I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!
Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page . Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 ( talk) 03:34, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
The primary issue is the lack of citation; as for the importance of the identifiers, I'm not entirely sure about its importance in the tech support regard as in my own experience in conducting and receiving tech support I've never needed to retrieve the model identifier nor ask for it. I mean, I can understand your motivation for adding the information as it is good information, but the difficulty in finding citation for it for all Macs in general is the primary obstacle. Unfortunately, using your own screencaps apparently don't count as evidence or citation (not my call, someone else made this judgement back when there was an argument as to wether or not Macs used the Santa Rosa architecture).

I like what you did with the OS X 10.6 Version History table. It makes it easier to look at & edit. Good job! :D 『 ɠu¹ɖяy 』 ¤ • ¢ 18:19, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for asking me to look at BodyMedia. The article is definitely highly promotional, but the company is so well-known due to heavy media exposure that the article is not a candidate for deletion. I hope you asked a bunch of editors to help out, because consumer electronic gadgets is not my area of expertise; I'm more of a pure science sort of guy, although I do occasionally venture into social issues. At best I'll be able to tone down a few sentences, but the real experts at this sort of thing, like User:SandyGeorgia and so forth, are very heavily overloaded with work. There is such a flood of PR material getting onto Wikipedia! So expect a few sentences at most reworked from me in the next several days after I've educated myself in the field. That plus the combined efforts of others knowledgeable in different areas ought to do something. Stigmatella aurantiaca ( talk) 09:31, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.
I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:
- dates
- years
- commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
- common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).
(This even applies for infoboxes.)
Thanks and my best wishes.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article The Wyndcroft School is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Wyndcroft School until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. John from Idegon ( talk) 04:13, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Sj Tucker - Sirens.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:09, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Category:User swift-2
A tag has been placed on Category:User swift-2 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!
