User talk:LawsonstuLibrary resources boxHow are you choosing articles to add that "Library resources" template to? To me, it doesn't seem particularly useful, and it also doesn't seem like it should just be added to any article. Or, rather, I would say that either it should be added to every single article, or to none, or possibly to ones chosen for specific criteria. Has this been discussed somewhere?

Disambiguation link notification for May 29Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mental health in East Africa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Depression (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.

Greetings. Because you participated in the August 2013 move request regarding this subject, you may be interested in participating in the current discussion.

I saw that you made Template:WikiProject Open. I am not sure what is best to do with this - perhaps we should talk some time. Already Template:WikiProject Open Access covers about 300 articles - see the "assessment" section at Wikipedia:WikiProject Open Access. Most of those articles should not be in WikiProject Open Access, but rather WikiProject Open. I wish there were an easy way to replace all WikiProject Open Access templates with WikiProject Open, and then make WikiProject Open Access a task force of WikiProject Open. If that happened then all WP OA articles could be part of the metrics of WP Open, but they could also be seen alone, and no article would need both tags. That would also leave room for a future of other open projects, like tagging for a WikiProject OER or open data. What you are doing by putting WP Open templates on things does not hurt, and there is no ready way to quickly do things the right way, and doing sorting like this is a time sink with limited payout after a point. I am just writing to acknowledge appreciation for what you are doing, and to say that what you have done to this point brings the needed benefit of establishing a scope for WikiProject Open, but at some point in the future this kind of tagging will need to be reformed and all options which I see are a bit messy. If you feel that it is fruitful to continue tagging then there is no harm in this. I am not sure what is best. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:38, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

In evaluating several projects we've been working on (e.g. the WIKISOO course and WikiProject Open), my colleague Pete Forsyth and I have wondered who chooses to edit OER-related articles and why. Regardless of whether you've taken the WIKISOO course yourself - and/or never even heard the term OER before - we'd be extremely grateful for your participation in this brief, anonymous survey before 27 April. No personal data is being collected. If you have any ideas or questions, please get in touch. My talk page awaits.

The goals are to (1) build a shared understanding of the value of Wikimania to help guide conference planning and evaluation, and (2) gather broad community input on what new form(s) Wikimania could take (starting in 2018). After reviewing the consultation, we'd like to hear your feedback on on this survey. In addition, feel free to share any personal experiences you have had at at a Wikimedia movement conference, including Wikimania. We plan to compile and share back outcomes from this consultation in February.
