A kitten for you!
Just drop by to say hi! :D

RexRowan Talk  11:20, 31 August 2012 (UTC) 


 * Thank you, my friend, and a 'hi' back to you! -- Netha   (talk)  11:36, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I am a newbie, been here since last month. I have much to learn from you and hope you don't mind! Hugs! :D -- RexRowan  Talk  11:43, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It is amazing to know that you've done so much (16 well-written articles!) within a month! I can surely help you with doing things from the best of my knowledge! If there is any specific help you want to have from me, do contact me on this page and I shall be happy to help you out!

And yes, I am an enthusiast of pharmacology like you! Looking forward to working with you! -- Netha   (talk)  11:48, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! I am good with photos, graphs and tables. I am ok with writing but I am not good rewording stuff as English is not my first language and I fear I may make it sound stupid. Maybe you can reword a few short paragraphs of my badly written articles to shown me how you would do it, much appreciated! :D -- RexRowan  Talk  11:58, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd be more than happy to help you! Please check out the history of the pages you've been working on lately, and look out for the edits with the edit summary 'typo', in which I have tried to rephrase some of the sentences. Your English is good enough, and sufficient to convey the idea. Just keep writing the articles in the best possible way you can assuming good faith. Hope you'd write a FA in English one day! Keep going! All the best! -- Netha   (talk)  12:15, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, I will! Thank you so much! :D -- RexRowan  Talk  12:17, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Netha! Thank you for signing up to be a founding volunteer of the WikiWomen's Collaborative. I've started to draft ideas for blogs on meta, here! Feel free to chime in, and let's get this blogging party started! :) SarahStierch (talk) 00:17, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Interview
Hi Netha, hope all is good with you! I met one of the most wonderful female editor on Wiki but I've never interviewed anyone before so would you like to interview her? Her page is User:CaroleHenson -- RexRowan 忍( Ninja signal ) 08:49, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Rex, for letting me know about Carole. I shall certainly consider interviewing her. -- Netha   (talk)  18:18, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Janaki Ammal, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cytology (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.

Page Curation newsletter - closing up!
Hey all :).

We're (very shortly) closing down this development cycle for Page Curation. It's genuinely been a pleasure to talk with you all and build software that is so close to my own heart, and also so effective. The current backlog is 9 days, and I've never seen it that low before.

However! Closing up shop does not mean not making any improvements. First-off, this is your last chance to give us a poke about unresolved bugs or report new ones on the talkpage. If something's going wrong, we want to know about it :). Second, we'll hopefully be taking another pass over the software next year. If you've got ideas for features Page Curation doesn't currently have, stick them here.

Again, it's been an honour. Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 12:31, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

WikiMedicine
Hi I'm contacting you because, as a participant at Wikiproject Medicine, you may be interested in a new multinational non-profit organization we're forming at m:Wikimedia Medicine. Even if you don't want to be actively involved, any ideas you may have about our structure and aims would be very welcome on the project's talk page. Our purpose is to help improve the range and quality of free online medical content, and we'll be working with like-minded organizations, such as the World Health Organization, professional and scholarly societies, medical schools, governments and NGOs - including Translators Without Borders. Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 07:20, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

This is not a newsletter
This is just a tribute.

Anyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the Article Feedback Tool or Page Curation. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up here.

In addition, we'll be holding an office hours session at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular timezone or a skype call if there isn't. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 11:12, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

meta:Wikimedia Medicine
Thank you for your interest in meta:Wikimedia Medicine. We hope to create a non profit corporation to promote the aims of the Wikimedia Movement within the topic domain of medicine. This means we plan to promote the creation and release of "health care information in all languages" under an open license. This will be done primarily via speaking and collaborating with both individuals and organizations who share our goal. We are working on a number of collaborations already and are open to more ideas. Documents of incorporation have been submitted and we hope to be officially "off the ground" by mid Dec 2012.

Disambiguation link notification for November 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Maharani Chakravorty, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Presidency College (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.
