Two medical articles translated to Ukrainian
Hey!

As you're listed as our lead integrator into Ukranian I came here to tell you that we have translated two articles into Ukrainian at WikiProject Medicine/Translation task force/RTT.

Submissions/Creative Ways to Alienate Women Online: A How-to Guide for Wikipedians
I was at your presentation at Wikimania 2014 but I cannot found it recorded. I was trying to defend some points on the need of more diversity (not just gender gap, but including it) in Wikimedia, and I think its really good stuff for that. Do you know where it's stored? (I guess all sessions were to be available).

Thanks. Oh! And I had a really good time at the session ( inspite of its being 50% done by a woman ).

 * Thanks, ! I don't think the video for that session is online yet, but I'll let you know when it is :) Accedie talk to me  17:39, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Hullo - I didn't manage to make Wikimania this year (and am useless at remembering if I'm supposed to put comments at the top or bottom of the page, and some days, even where the tilde key resides so please forgive) - I'd love to see a copy of your presentation/talk if there's one available tho? Many thanks Claire 75 (talk) 15:46, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Basic bitch, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages College Humor and The Game. 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.

My pleasure,
thanks for creating the article! I've written some pop-culture articles myself, so I definitely sympathize with the feeling of wondering when someone's going to take a swing at deleting one of them. :) I don't have any big projects in the works these days, but if I need to help in the future, I'll keep you in mind!

Thank you for creating the article about the Southdown Plantation. Do you know if the Waterloo Plantation and the Hollywood Plantation are still standing? They were owned by William J. Minor, whose page I created. I would also like to find his portrait, if there is one we can use. Please reply on my talkpage. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 04:18, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Distinction-cover.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Distinction-cover.jpg. 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. --B-bot (talk) 18:30, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
