Welcome to Wikipedia!Hi Matt, welcome to Wikipedia! We're excited about your DeCal course! Annie Lin (Campus Team Coordinator, Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 03:14, 30 September 2010 (UTC) Thanks, Annie!

Could I get you to e-mail me your e-mail address? I'm thinking of setting up a mailing list for the prospective Wikipedia Club, because one of my goals is to recruit more new users interested in trying out Wikipedia so I'd like to have some kind of off-wiki communication to facilitate that. Let me know your thoughts. Good luck with your class! Dcoetzee 02:32, 9 January 2011 (UTC) Wikipedia Ambassador Program Newsletter: 28 January 2011

Your feedback will help shape the program and role of Ambassadors in the future. Please take this 10 minute survey to help inform and improve the Wikipedia Ambassadors. WMF will de-identify results and make them available to you. According to KwikSurveys' privacy policy: "Data and email addresses will not be sold, rented, leased or disclosed to 3rd parties." This link takes you to the online survey: http://kwiksurveys.com?u=WPAmbassador_talk Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments, Thank You!

Tea in my eyes and on my face...but thanks anyway!Matt, I just thanked Sage for the cup-o-tea, and got corrected. I actually did see your name there, but was writing to him about something else and got my wires crossed. Much on the plate just now. But, hey, I have now some tea to wash it down with, so, no problem! Thanks for the appreciation. Hope things are going swimmingly on YOUR end of the universe... Ambassador Program: assessment driveEven though it's been quiet on-wiki, the Wikipedia Ambassador Program has been busy over the last few months getting ready for the next term. We're heading toward over 80 classes in the US, across all disciplines. You'll see courses start popping up here, and this time we want to match one or more Online Ambassadors to each class based on interest or expertise in the subject matter. If you see a class that you're interested, please contact the professor and/or me; the sooner the Ambassadors and professors get in communication, the better things go. Look for more in the coming weeks about next term. In the meantime, with a little help I've identified all the articles students did significant work on in the last term. Many of the articles have never been assessed, or have ratings that are out of date from before the students improved them. Please help assess them! Pick a class, or just a few articles, and give them a rating (and add a relevant WikiProject banner if there isn't one), and then update the list of articles. Once we have updated assessments for all these articles, we can get a better idea of how quality varied from course to course, and which approaches to running Wikipedia assignments and managing courses are most effective. --Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 17:26, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

OA ≠ OA publishing and green OA is not a form of publishingOnly gold OA publishing is a form of publishing. Green OA self-archiving is definitely not a form of publishing. Publishing is something a publisher does. Self-archiving is done by the author, not the publisher. A green publisher is not an OA publisher but a non-OA publisher that has given its authors the green light to self-archive. If the publisher makes the articles OA, it's an OA (gold) publisher. Conflating OA with gold OA, and misdescribing green OA as a "form of publishing" is the single most widespread and persistent misunderstanding about OA; Peter Suber and I have been trying to correct it for years, but it just keeps popping up, because people find it so much easier to think of OA as a publishing matter: It's not. It's an access matter. If authors provide the access, publishing has not changed; only accessibility has changed. harnad (talk) Stevan Harnad 03:53, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notificationHi. When you recently edited Pip (Python), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Software packages (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.

I requested to have my sandbox page moved to the wiki page, but the request was denied. It was suggested that I should integrate my changes to the current page. I was wondering how I should go about doing this. Should I just delete what's on the current page and paste the content of my sandbox there. I've already integrated the content of the wikipage onto my sandbox.

I don't know if you've seen Wikipedia:WikiProject Open Access; User:Daniel Mietchen, who recently facilitated a really fantastic project between PLoS Computational Biology and Wikipedia. If you work at PLoS, you should definitely think about getting involved with the US GLAM initiative: I'm going to be summer-interning at the Biodiversity Heritage Library, another virtual library, and I'm hoping to draw them into the Wikipedia orbit with a lot of help from GLAM-WIKI. Anyway, I mostly wanted to pass these links on to you. Let me know -- on or off Wikipedia -- if I can help in any way with bringing about more Open Access linkups on Wikipedia! cheers, Gaurav (talk) 02:12, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
You're invited: San Francisco WikiWomen's Edit-a-Thon 2!
San Francisco Wiknic 2012
Invitation to wikiFeedHello Mattsenate, I'm part of a team that is researching ways to help Wikipedia editors find interesting content to contribute to Wikipedia. More specifically, we are investigating whether content from news sources can be used to enhance Wikipedia editing. We have created a tool, called wikiFeed, that allows you to specify Twitter and/or RSS feeds from news sources that are interesting to you. wikiFeed then helps you make connections between those feeds and Wikipedia articles. We believe that using this tool may be a lot of fun, and may help you come up with some ideas on how to contribute to Wikipedia in ways that interest you. Please participate! To do so, complete this survey and follow this link to our website. Once you're there, click the "create an account" link to get started. For more information about wikiFeed, visit our project page. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask via my talk page, or by email at wikifeedcc@gmail.com. We appreciate your time and hope you enjoy playing with wikiFeed! Thanks!

Edit-a-thon tomorrow (Saturday) in OaklandHi, I hope you will be joining us tomorrow afternoon at the Edit-a-thon at Tech Liminal, in Oakland. We'll be working on articles relating to women and democracy (and anything else that interests you). It's sponsored by the California League of Women Voters, Tech Liminal, and me. If this is the first you are hearing of this event, my apologies for the last-minute notice! I announced it on the San Francisco email list and by a banner on your watchlist, but I neglected to look at the San Francisco invitation list until this evening. If you can't make it this time, I hope to see you at a similar event soon! -Pete (talk) 04:48, 15 December 2012 (UTC) Greetings from WikiProject Open AccessDear Matt,  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) 23:54, 10 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) 20:52, 14 January 2013 (UTC) Women's history editathonHey - Sorry for the late notice, but since you have yourself tagged as living in the Bay Area, I thought you might appreciate notification that we’re having an event Saturday!
