Nice meeting you at the HCL edit-a-thon in November. Per your suggestion, I've been organizing a Wikipedia Day meetup at MHS in January. But I haven't heard that anyone else is interested. I've posted about it in a few places: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Meetup/Minnesota#Wikipedia_Day_Meetup_at_MHS, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Minnesota#January_2, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Minnesota#Wikipedia_Day_meetup_at_the_Minnesota_Historical_Society.3F. I also requested a Geonotice. Is there anywhere else I should posting it? We're excited to host it, and we'd like to have a bigger, more public edit-a-thon in March, if the meetup goes well. But I'm getting a little nervous that I haven't heard from anyone yet.

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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:44, 18 December 2012 (UTC) Your change was wrongI live with The Alf, son of Sir Michael Wheeler Booth. He used to be called radical Mike because of his strong left wing ideas. He was labelled that by a newspaper. The Alf also produces a lot of dubstep under the name Cadenza. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.212.106.254 (talk) 20:58, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

You're proposing a move in view of the author's change of name. Can you link to a confirmation of her change of name? See http://www.alisavaldesrodriguez.com/ where I couldn't discern anything of that nature. She uses both forms of her name there, and Amazon shows Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez as the author of her impending book. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:38, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #38Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week. It's rather short this time because pretty much everyone enjoys some well-deserved vacation.
WikiCup 2013 starting soonHi there; you're receiving this message because you have previously shown interest in the WikiCup. This is just to remind you that the 2013 WikiCup will be starting on 1 January, and that signups will remain open throughout January. Old and new Wikipedians and WikiCup participants are warmly invited to take part in this year's competition. (Though, as a note to the more experienced participants, there have been a few small rules changes in the last few months.) If you have already signed up, let this be a reminder; you will receive a message with your submissions' page soon. Please direct any questions to the WikiCup talk page. Thanks!

Your submissions' page is here. The competition begins at midnight UTC. The first round will last until the end of February, at which point the top 64 scorers will advance to the second round. We will be in touch at the end of every month, and signups are going to remain open until the end of January; if you know of anyone else who may like to take part, please let them know! A few reminders: *The rules can be found here. There have been a few changes from last year, which are listed on that page. *Anything you submit must have been nominated and promoted in 2013, and you need to have completed significant work upon it in 2013. (The articles you review at good article reviews does not need to have been nominated in 2013, but you do need to have started the review in 2013.) We will be checking. *If you feel that another competitor is breaking the rules or abusing the competition in some way, please let a judge know. Please do not remove entries from the submissions' pages of others yourself. *Don't worry about calculating precisely how many points everything is worth. The bot will do that. The bot may occasionally get something wrong- let a judge know, or post on the WikiCup talk page if that happens. *Please try to be prompt in updating submissions' pages so that they can be double-checked. Overall, however, don't worry, and have fun. It doesn't matter if you make the odd mistake; these things happen. Questions can be asked on the WikiCup talk page. Good luck!

Orlady (talk) 16:02, 7 January 2013 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for January 8Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Canadian women during the World Wars, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CWAC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

MHS meetup 1/12/13Thanks for RSVPing for the MHS Wikipedia Day meetup on Saturday at 12:30! We look forward to seeing you. If you're driving, tell the parking attendant that you're with Wikipedia and they'll have you sign in for free parking. When you get in the building, there will be signs directing you to the Irvine Room (1st floor, past the cafe). Meet us there to pick up your free lunch vouchers.

More info here Mhsrc (talk) 21:21, 10 January 2013 (UTC) Greetings from WikiProject Open AccessDear Gobonobo,  it is now one year since WikiProject Open Access was started by User:Bluerasberry on January 10, 2012. Since then, the project has advanced modestly, but we have not interacted much. For the coming year, we certainly want to improve on that. We also plan to overhaul the project pages to make them more conducive to collaboration, and we are pondering the idea of expanding the concept of a WikiProject Open Access to projects other than the English Wikipedia, e.g. to other languages or to Wikimedia Commons. You are warmly invited to add your voice to all that. We would also appreciate if you would share some of your OA-related activities by way of our news ticker or via the monthly Open Access report that is part of the GLAM newsletter (to which you can subscribe here), or as you see fit otherwise. As a visual token of the anniversary, I am adding today's Open Access File of the Day. Feel free to nominate files yourself. As of today, commons:Category:Open access (publishing) contains more than 15,000 files, of which about 2/3 are video and sound files uploaded by the Open Access Media Importer. Thanks for being part of the project, and looking forward to more interaction. With a smile, -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 23:45, 10 January 2013 (UTC) Wikidata weekly summary #40Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

An article you worked on Liang May Seen, appears to be directly copied from http://www.mnopedia.org/person/liang-may-seen-1871-1946. Please take a minute to make sure that the text is freely licensed and properly attributed as a reference, otherwise the article may be deleted.

MadmanBot (talk) 23:57, 13 January 2013 (UTC) Wikipedia Ambassadors updateHi! You're getting this message because you are or have been a Wikipedia Ambassador. A new term is beginning for the United States and Canada Education Programs, and I wanted to give you an update on some important new information if you're interested in continuing your work this term as a Wikipedia Ambassador. You may have heard a reference to a transition the education program is going through. This is the last term that the Wikimedia Foundation will directly run the U.S. and Canada programs; beginning in June, a proposed thematic organization is likely to take over organizing the program. You can read more about the proposal here. Another major change in the program will take effect immediately. Beginning this term, a new MediaWiki education extension will replace all course pages and Ambassador lists. (See Wikipedia:Course pages and Help:Education Program extension for more details.) Included in the extension are online volunteer and campus volunteer user rights, which let you create and edit course pages and sign up as an ambassador for a particular course. If you would like to continue serving as a Wikipedia Ambassador — even if you do not support a class this term — you must create an ambassador profile. If you're no longer interested in being a Wikipedia Ambassador, you don't need to do anything.
First, you need the relevant user rights for Online and/or Campus Ambassadors. (If you are an admin, you can grant the rights yourself, for you as well as other ambassadors.) Just post your rights request here, and we'll get you set up as quickly as possible. Once you've got the ambassador rights, please set up at a Campus and/or Online Ambassador profile. You can do so at: Going forward, the lists of Ambassadors at Special:CampusAmbassadors and Special:OnlineAmbassadors will be the official roster of who is an active Ambassador. If you would like to be an Ambassador but not ready to serve this term, you can un-check the option in your profile to publicly list it (which will remove your profile from the list). After that, you can sign on to support courses. The list of courses will be at Special:Courses. (By default, this lists "Current" courses, but you can change the Status filter to "Planned" to see courses for this term that haven't reached their listed start date yet.) As this is the first term we have used the extension, we know there will be some bugs, and we know the feature set is not as rich as it could be. (A big wave of improvements is already in the pipeline. And if you know MediaWiki and could help with code review, we'd love to have your help!) Please reach out to me (Sage Ross) with any complaints, bug reports, and feature suggestions. The basic features of the extension are documented at Wikipedia:Course pages, and you can see a tutorial for setting up and using them here.
In the past, the Education Program has had a pretty fragmented set of communication channels. We're trying to fix that. These are the recommended places to discuss and stay up-to-date on the education program:
We now have an online training for Ambassadors, which is intended to be both an orientation about the Wikipedia Ambassador role for newcomers and the manual for how to do the role. (There are parallel trainings for students and for educators as well.) Please go through the training if you feel like you need a refresher on how a typical class is supposed to go and where the Ambassadors fit in, or if you want to review and help improve it. If there's something you'd like to see added, or other suggestions you have for it, feel free to edit the training and/or leave feedback. A primer on setting up and using course pages is included in the educators' training. The Resources page of the training is the main place for Ambassador-related resources. If there's something you think is important as a resource that's not on there, please add it. Finally, whether or not you work with any classes this term, I encourage you to post entries to the Trophy Case whenever you see excellent work from students or if you have great examples from past semesters. And, as always, let students (and other editors!) know when they do things well; a little WikiLove goes a long way! --Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 20:45, 14 January 2013 (UTC) Please comment on Wikipedia talk:Policies and guidelinesGreetings!
