Hello, I noticed you were active in the 2011 event, and wanted to tell you that the 2012 Wikipedia Loves Libraries in Seattle is planned. It's Dec 8th 10am-3pm at Seattle Public Library, and we'd love to have you there, and hear your ideas about what to edit. Hope to see you there. Maximilianklein ( talk) 23:15, 13 November 2012 (UTC) reply

• Thanks Maximilianklein, but I'm in Salt Lake City now. Best wishes! Tod Robbins ( talk) 19:04, 14 November 2012 (UTC) reply

Thanks for coming out to our Mormon Foremothers edit-a-thon last Friday! I will definitely let you know about future Wikipedia-related events; in the meantime, if you want to know what we're working on, you can check out our to-do list. - Rachel Helps (BYU) ( talk) 20:17, 17 October 2016 (UTC) reply

I'm thinking of holding an edit-a-thon this month (November) for a group of interested, local editors. We could work on some Japan pages as part of Asian month. I know November can be a busy month--would you be interested in participating? What days/times work best for you? Rachel Helps (BYU) ( talk) 18:19, 2 November 2016 (UTC) reply

I am interested. What days of the week were you thinking? Fridays work well for me. Do we want to hold it in the same lab area? — Tod Robbins ( talk) 17:50, 3 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Hi Todrobbins, I saw you recent edit at Boolean satisfiability problem‎, and got interested in the use of OAbot. However, from the page Wikipedia:OABOT, I couldn't figure out how to apply it to (say) a particular wikipedia article, or s single citation therein. Apparently, you know how to do this; could you please give me an appropriate hint (such as "read page XXX", or "in the article to be handled by OAbot, click on XXX, then on YYY, then ...")? Many thanks in advance! (As a side remark: I also wonder whether it is possible to add known open-access links to the data base used by OAbot, or if this is unnecessary?) Best regards - Jochen Burghardt ( talk) 11:11, 24 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Hey User:Jochen Burghardt, great question. It can be done. 1) Go to http://oabot.org 2) click Start editing a random article 3) underneath the logo is a text box with the name of the page and a button that says Go. That is a search box! 4) Type in the article name into that search box 5) Click Go. That will check the page for any/all citations that could be improved. We can work on this to make it more clear, but it is indeed functional. Give it a try and report back if you have any issues (or successes!) Cheers, Jake Ocaasi (WMF) ( talk) 19:11, 25 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Hi Ocaasi (WMF), many thanks for your answer. When I tried OABot on Maximum subarray problem, I got an error page with the message "Error: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.oadoi.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /v2/:10.1145/358234.381162?email=contact%40dissem.in (Caused by NewConnectionError(': Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -2] Name or service not known',))" — I omit the traceback here. — As another point, I think the documentation still needs to be improved. When I have concrete suggestions, should I post them here, or on some other page? Best regards - Jochen Burghardt ( talk) 10:55, 27 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Thanks again Jochen. I wonder if we need a cap lifted from oadoi.org; we know people there and can ask. Has this happened more than once? Feedback is best at Phabricator, our issue-tracker for the software. Use can use this form for any issues or feedback. Thank you! Jake Ocaasi (WMF) ( talk) 20:00, 27 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Thanks for uploading File:PublicNTP logo.svg. 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) 02:41, 14 March 2019 (UTC) reply

An article you recently created, PublicNTP, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. ( ?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed ( verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:PublicNTP, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot ( talk) 22:40, 19 October 2019 (UTC) reply

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Hello, Todrobbins. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " PublicNTP".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! HasteurBot ( talk) 03:33, 20 November 2019 (UTC) reply

Call for presentations for WikiConference North America 2022 and OpenStreetMap US's Mapping USA This is a call for presentations by EOD, Sunday, October 15, for WikiConference North America (Nov 11-13), held jointly with OpenStreetMap US's Mapping USA. We encourage you to please submit your Wikipedia and Wikimedia proposals at Wikiconference:2022/Submissions or OpenStreetMap US proposals at Call for Proposals: WikiConference North America + Mapping USA. We are sending this mass message to you because we deduced that you may be in North America and interested in maps in Wikimedia or Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, or OpenHistoricalMaps. We are looking for lightning talks in particular on Friday, Nov 11. Some suggestions: Cultural similarities and differences, for instance OpenStreetMap and Wikivoyage (map and describe what you know) versus Wikipedia (verify with citations) Type of licensing for each project and how they differ: OpenStreetMap, Commons, Wikidata, and Wikipedia The flow of information from one project into another, and how maps are generated How OpenHistoricalMap works and possible interactions with Wikimedia projects Your ideas! MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 23:31, 1 October 2022 (UTC) reply

WikiConference North America 2022 will be virtual, November 11-13. We will hold it jointly with OpenStreetMap US's Mapping USA. Our theme this year is open knowledge allies. Registration is now open here! Please register by the 10th so that we can set everyone up online on our platform. Like last year, we are planning on using Hopin. Our schedule is will be finalized and available in the next few days. We have an exciting line-up of sessions related to Wikimedia, OpenStreetMap, and the intersection of the two. Stay tuned! Local meet-ups will occur in Indianapolis and New York City - if you are available and interested in attending either of these, you can find more details here. If you want to connect with other participants or have questions, please join our Telegram channel here.

Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2023 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{ NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 00:40, 28 November 2023 (UTC) reply
