Question about my "Subpages" sectionThanks for putting all the scripts together, but when that was done something happened to the layout of my Subpages within the collapsible section on my userpage User:Shearonink. I'd like to kind of put things back the way they were but don't know how to toggle the appearance of
or even if it changing the appearance back is possible. The issue is that I always used to know where to find links within that 'Subpages" section (kind of my own internal toolbox) but since they've moved around I don't know where to look right away. Not sure if this makes sense, but ping me the next time you see me in IRC and maybe you can talk me through how to possibly change it. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 15:38, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

6th Arkansas Infantry RegimentI know this isn't your expertise area. I've been helping Damon.cluck with some Arkansas "American Civil War" articles helping to improve them because he approached me and kindly asked. On the 6th Arkansas Infantry Regiment there is a copyright note on one of the images (in the Infobox image), would you be able to see if you can work it out and put the right template for the image? It would be appreciated. Adamdaley (talk) 23:53, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

The Envision ManifestoThank you for the EDUCATED reply. Sorry for my ignorance, I did not mean to target Wikipedia at all. I really shouldn't have targeted anyone in the first place. My apologies for my rude behavior. I do however need to find sources to cite my information, which may be quite difficult. Well, I do not mind. I am trying to make a difference, and time will not stop me. --UncleVisionary (talk) 05:53, 15 September 2011 (UTC) Now that I think about it...could you possibly look at my page? I have no clue how I would be able to pair anything up with that unless I took a standpoint along Anonymous or some sort, which I do not plan on doing (I plan on taking this on its own route). Any ideas? --UncleVisionary (talk) 05:55, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your help. I do plan on setting up a website for this, and I can use that as a source? Great. Found out what i'm doing this weekend. Thanks so much for the assistance, for I am a "newbie" with this stuff, and am trying to dive headfirst into it. Thanks Sonia. --UncleVisionary (talk) 06:21, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
Gotcha! Thanks for the help. I will probably stick around and help with articles that need editing now, haha. My page has been deleted, and website will be setup soon! Your input has helped me tons. --UncleVisionary (talk) 01:42, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
Your DYK nom for Biological control of gorse in New ZealandHi Sonia, I have reviewed your DYK nom at Template:Did you know nominations/Biological control of gorse in New Zealand and there is a small issue with referencing. Could you see my comments at the nomination page and reply there once they have been addressed? Thank you. (Love the pink name... curious as to the WikiCode on it).

Materialscientist (talk) 00:02, 19 September 2011 (UTC) Update on courses and ambassador needsHello, Ambassadors! I wanted to give you one last update on where we are this term, before my role as Online Facilitator wraps up at the end of this week. Already, there are over 800 students in U.S. classes who have signed up on course pages this term. About 40 classes are active, and we're expecting that many more again once all the classes are up and running. On a personal note, it's been a huge honor to work with so many great Wikipedians over the last 15 months. Thanks so much to everyone who jumped in and decided to give the ambassador concept a try, and double thanks those of you who were involved early on. Your ideas and insights and enthusiasm have been the foundation of the program, and they will be the keys the future of the program. Courses looking for Online AmbassadorsStill waiting to get involved with a class this term, or ready to take on more? We have seven classes that are already active and need OA support, and eleven more that have course pages started but don't have active students yet. Please consider joining one or more of these pods! Active courses that really need Online Ambassadors:

Survey of Female Wikipedians!Hi Sonia! Haven't seen you around my part of the wiki much lately, how's it going? I thought you might be interested in this survey by User:SarahStierch. It's not very long, took me about 10 minutes, and the questions are fairly routine (i.e. non-intrusive). Here's a snippet of her message, with a link to the survey. I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate! It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate! Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google! Cheers, PrincessofLlyr royal court 13:12, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

The page was The One That Got Away, as I only summited it because the article was protect and was not completed, but after one day of notice it was later created again. So I was wondering if I can delete the pages, or can I transfer some information to the actual The One That Got Away (Katy Perry song article. Thanks :D (User:CaliforniaDreamsFan) (talk) 11:53 13 October, 2011 Re: OMG you are too Kiwi :D, i never new that :D... Well thats cool. Oah and thanks for the info of the creation article (and true the stuff I have will be more better anyway haha) Thanks ;) (User:CaliforniaDreamsFan) (talk) 11:53 13 October, 2011 Help needed for a student class projectPlease see Wikipedia:WikiProject Classroom coordination/SFSU Class Project and consider adding your name. The scope of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Classroom coordination/SFSU Class Project is mainly concerned with new articles. According to the teacher's instructions, this group of students may not create a lot of new articles, but may instead focus more on improving existing articles. So, there may be little for us to do in the way the Wikipedia:WikiProject China/NNU Class Project required. The students may, however, still call on us for guidance in other areas.

Something you said you might be able to help with ...Please drop in at the talk page here and say hi to Zoeyeve (on this article!) You said you might well be able to help neutralify the article, which is now in user space, before it goes back into mainspace. It's mainly a question of f inding really decent sources for the guy's publications in peer-reviewed journals etc (to show that he's a genuinely qualified chappie, etc.), removing weasel words and puffery, and all that stuff. You know what I mean.

I'm wondering if you could help me? I'm new to Wikipedia and I'm participating in the wikipedia partnership with my university, the University of Toronto. I'm a Master's of Information student (hopeful future librarian). I recently added a section to Library on Academic Libraries (under Types 2.3, I think). I was just wondering if you get the chance if you could have a look and make sure I did the edit right and provide some feedback? Thanks so much! FutureInfoPro (talk) 01:00, 30 October 2011 (UTC) Hi Sonia, thanks so much for your reply and feedback, very helpful! I will reread the primary source policy and will try to stick to the correct format going forward. I really appreciate your help! :) (Oh yeah, I did use UofT links but only because it's all I know. Though I am not employed by UofT or receiving funding from them so I thought that would be kosher, but maybe that's too close?).

I am new to Wikipedia and getting lost in trying to learn the coding. What do I do about working on a stub for a living person? Most of the information that I can find is either reviews of his books or transcripts of his interviews. Are these credible sources to cite? They seem biased to me.

Move to LiveHi Sonia! Your suggestions on my article, Kent Holtorf, were most helpful. I think all is in order now. I just need you or Pesky or Chzz to move it live for me if you think it's ready. Pesky posted this on her talk page, "Let me (or Chzz, or Sonia) know when you've found the relevant "proper" infobox, and then we can send it back "live". If I'm not around, for any reason, then you can point either of them here to let them know that, as far as I'm concerned, either of them is welcome to do the move.

Article Feedback Tool - Newsletter 1Hey, guys and girls! You're receiving this because you signed up (or manually requested) the Article Feedback Tool Version 5 Newsletter. This is for people who care about making the AFT a better feature, but don't necessarily want to have to participate in every discussion. Instead, I'll be sending a newsletter around twice a month talking about what's been decided and what's still up for discussion - that way, if you're interested in specific features or ideas, you'll know when to jump in :). If you know anyone who fits into this category (or you're a talkpage watcher who does) please sign up here to receive more updates in the future. First off, editors have already been picking at the basic design, and I've forwarded their suggestions to the devs. Those ideas which are worthy of further investigation (or being programmed into the software) are listed in the status box at the top of the talkpage. Community suggestions that the devs like include:
So already there's been some great ideas - I was in a meeting yesterday in which they confirmed that the developers are actively looking at how to include Utar's suggestion pretty quickly. There are still a lot of open issues, however; most pressing this week is what level of access IPs should have to submitted comments? The Foundation's plan calls for IP addresses to be only allowed to read the comments, but not to vote on or comment on their priority - this is intended to reduce gaming - but editors may have different opinions. If you like this level of access, want something more open, or want something more closed, please drop a note here. Hope to see you all on the talkpage soon, with any developments, ideas or suggestions you may have.

Article Feedback Tool newsletterHey, all! A quick update on how version 5 of the Article Feedback Tool is developing. I'm sending this to both newsletter recipients and regular participants, because I appreciate we've been a bit quiet :). So, we're just wrapping up the first round of user contributions. A big thank you to everyone who has contributed ideas (a full list of which can be found at the top of the page); thanks almost entirely to contributions by editors, the tool looks totally different to how it did two months ago when we were starting out. Big ideas that have made it in include a comment voting system, courtesy of User:Bensin, an idea for a more available way of deploying the feedback box, suggested by User:Utar, and the eventual integration of both oversight and the existing spam filtering tools into the new version, courtesy of..well, everyone, really :). For now, the devs are building the first prototypes, and all the features specifications have been finalised. That doesn't mean you can't help out, however; we'll have a big pile of shiny prototypes to play around with quite soon. If you're interested in testing those, we'll be unveiling it all at this week's office hours session, which will be held on Friday 2 December at 19:00 UTC. If you can't make it, just sign up here. After that, we have a glorious round of testing to undertake; we'll be finding out what form works the best, what wording works the best, and pretty much everything else under the sun. As part of that, we need editors - people who know just what to look for - to review some sample reader comments, and make calls on which ones are useful, which ones are spam, so on and so forth. If that's something you'd be interested in doing, drop an email to okeyes@wikimedia.org. Thanks to everyone for their contributions so far. We're making good headway, and moving forward pretty quickly :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 16:39, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Ambassador NeededHi Sonia, Thanks for contacting me. I am still looking for one more ambassador for my winter term course Writing & Rhetoric II beginning next week. I'm specifically interested in someone who would be willing to respond to short proposals written by students for planned edits/article creations. I'm giving student the choice to create new article or make edits/additions to existing articles. These proposals would be short plans for article creations / or edits and additions to existing articles. They would be sent to you on or a day or two before Jan. 16. There's a cap of twenty students in the class, so you would only be responsible for responding to ten student proposals. What do you think? Matthewvetter (talk) 16:02, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
Sonia, Thanks so much. I've added your name to the online ambassadors. Expect an e-mail from me when things get rolling. You can check out the project schedule at the course page. |
