Thank you very much, Finnusertop! I very much appreciate your kind gesture. I look forward to continuing to contribute alongside you, and maybe even find opportunities to collaborate, in this shared interest that we have! Best, (talk) user:Al83tito03:10, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a good subject for an article, but we can't have text copied from newspaper articles. Please do expand the article using newly written text. › Morteetalk07:40, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Mortee: Thank you for your note, and my apologies. Usually I develop a much more advanced draft before publishing, which would have probably addressed the issues you raised. My apologies for publishing too soon, with that issue not fully addressed from the get-go, based your message. I do want to note a couple of things: I can't recall in detail what the article looked like at the time of your deletion, and hence I cannot quite pinpoint the extent of the copyright issue you raised. I do know that I did not mean to infringe on copyright and I do remember that one thing I was trying to accomplish was to quote some reactions from the protagonists that was reported in an article of the New York Times article (which I believe is allowable in the context of that article, when done sparingly and when there is a good justification for it). I suspect that that is what may have triggered your deletion, and probably I could have done a better job of better identifying the quotes, and at keeping them short. But again, I can't quite pinpoint the problem, and on whether this was a false positive on your end, or a mistake on my end (or a bit of both), because of my inability now to review the edit history of that deleted content. Nevertheless, I take your message as constructive feedback and will work to ensure that my contributions are well written and following the best practices of Wikipedia. Thank you.

I can't see the deleted version myself, but these were full paragraphs copied without quote marks, not a minor slip. Please don't build articles that way in future. › Morteetalk20:49, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is the sixth newsletter sent by mass mail to members in Wikipedia:WikiProject Genealogy, to everyone who voted a support for establishing a potential Wikimedia genealogy project on meta, and anyone who during the years showed an interest in genealogy on talk pages and likewise.
(To discontinue receiving Project Genealogy newsletters, please see below)
You can already now try out the demo for a genealogy wiki at https://tools.wmflabs.org/genealogy/wiki/Main_Page and try out the functions. You will find parts of the 18th Pharao dynasty and other records submitted by the 7 first users, and it would be great if you would add some records.
And with those great news we want to wish you a creative New Year 2019!
There will be pizza, cake, and refreshments; both newcomers and experienced Wikimedians are welcome! We will have a beginner track with tutorials, and an advanced track with presentations, lightning talks, and tips and tricks. Admission is free, and you do NOT have to be a Stanford University student to attend.

Bon dia,
Molt de goig de "conéixer-te"... Ai, em sap molt de greu. A priori (si ho he entés bé) sí que s'hauria d'enregistrar. Espere que ho faré bé. Una abraçada ben bona! Cuida't bé, sobretot amb aquest maleït virus i la calor si en tens on vius (ací ens està ofegant d'ençà d'ahir...). Fins ben prompte! Claudi/Capsot (talk) 12:11, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Talking about your experience on Wikipedia
Hi Al38tito!
I'm a PhD student at UCL, studying the way knowledge is produced on Wikipedia. Would you be happy to talk about your experience as an editor? If you wish to know more about my project, you can look up my userpage, and/or ask questions. Thanks! ElenaFalco (talk) 10:33, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated StarCraft (video game) for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Hog FarmTalk04:39, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Al83tito! That's a great question. I don't know of anyone planning in-person meetups or WikiSalons right now, but I've heard of other people interested in this too. If you haven't already joined the Bay Area mailing list, I'd suggest subscribing to it — that's where I look for announcements of new events, and if I organize an event, I'll post it there. I've thought about organizing a downtown Oakland photowalk similar to my San Francisco Financial District photowalk in 2017, since that could be entirely outdoors, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Invitation to Local Wikimania Event in San Francisco this Friday
Hi!
Wikimania is happening and hopefully you're enjoying the sessions. While it's fairly last minute, you're warmly invited to participate in the local Wikimania-themed meetup in the Wikimedia Foundation office this Friday (tomorrow!). You will have to register in advance, but we would love to see more people from the WikiSalon community participate! For more information and registration, please check out meta:Wikimania 2022/San Francisco Meetup.
The event will involve hacking, teaching, learning, and celebrating and we'll have snacks. We will have the opportunity to watch live sessions at Wikimania together in the afternoon. The rest of the day we'll have opportunity to participate in the hackathon, and we may have some on-demand workshops/learning sessions.
In case we run out of space, it's first-come-first-serve so let us know soon! Hope to see you there.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by TheChunky was:
This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Deepak Hegde and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
Hello, Al83tito!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! ❯❯❯ Chunky aka Al Kashmiri (✍️) 17:28, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Aplucas0703 was:
This article goes on very long tangents explaining his research. There is no reason to get that detailed. Such research is more useful on Wikipedia pages about the subject the research was over, not on the page of who conducted the research except for extremely brief descriptions.
After this is fixed, leaving a comment on your own submission to point out which sources you think best show notability of the subject, as it may speed up a future approval.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Thanks for uploading File:Ayoxxa Biosystems logo.png. 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).
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

Dear @Cowboygilbert: Thank you for your kind message. Thank you for thinking highly of the article and my contributions to it. Yes, I can see how it has potential for nomination. I will have to leave this for some indeterminate future time since I am busy with other projects now. Cheers. Al83tito (talk) 18:54, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
