Consumer Reports related enquiry...
At one time you had involvement with a publication called 'Consumer Reports' ? Do you still have contacts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ShakespeareFan00 (talk • contribs) 15:58, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I was Wikimedian in Residence there from 2012-2018. They are still my professional colleagues but now I am Wikimedian at the Data Science Institute of the University of Virginia. I expect to always be able to be an advocate for collaboration between Consumer Reports, the Consumer Movement generally, and Wikimedia projects. How can I help? We can talk here, by video or voice if you email me, or any other way you like.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  13:54, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Simons Foundation
I noted your assistance with the creation of the Simons Foundation article. Did you not have concerns about it's notability? Other than the New York Times article of Nov. 22, 2016, I have had difficultly finding independent reliable sources to meet the standards of WP:NORG. Could you point me to such sources? (You may answer here.) The standard is: A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject; and the depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. --Bejnar (talk) 15:56, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Please bring this to the talk page of that article and be diligent in your review.
 * I consistently give advice that every sentence and claim in articles should be backed with citations to third party sources, with the exception of data which mirrors what Wikidata accepts with primary source citations. If I have ever given guidance to any organization then this is what I said.
 * Here is the version of the article which I assisted them in submitting to AfC. I will not say that this draft certainly passes WP:N, but that draft with three sentences and three citations looks like a fair attempt at Wikipedia compliance to me.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  18:51, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the help on Affordable Housing
Hi, I'm really new on Wikipedia, so I'm going to ask on Talk:Affordable housing if you can split the page. Also, I was wondering if you could briefly look over Economic inequality and Talk:Economic inequality and give me some feedback on the use of info boxes and splitting the page. Ping me here or message me on my talk page. Thanks! Seahawk01 (talk) 02:02, 3 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi again, spectacular job splitting Affordable Housing! Please disregard request above about Economic inequality...that page is a mess and you really already helped me out a great deal. Thanks again! Seahawk01 (talk) 05:06, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

WikiProject Home Living
are you still working on WikiProject Home Living? I was just looking over the project page and thought maybe we should go through the article list and try to clean up some of the low rated / high importance articles. For example:


 * Top Class / C-Class
 * High Class / C-Class

I have a few pages I'm currently working on, so I can't jump right in. But, over a month's time I think we can make some improvements. Especially, I would suggest fixing layout, adding reference ideas to the talk pages, maybe removing some sections on longer pages. Overall just giving a better direction to the pages.

Ping me back if it sounds like something you'd be interested in. Seahawk01 (talk) 02:40, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Cleveland Clinic images are available
Hi, Bluerasberry! I've uploaded 10 historical Cleveland Clinic images to Wikimedia Commons that might be useful for the Cleveland Clinic or History of Cleveland Clinic articles. I also uploaded an image of the Cleveland Plain Dealer's front page the day after the Cleveland Clinic fire of 1929. Are any of these helpful? I also left a message at Talk:Cleveland Clinic.

Public NIH data
Hello and thank you for your message! If you haven't looked into RePORT homepage RePORTER database], I would recommend it.

Free culture and open source
Hi! I like a lot the navbox template "Template:Open navbox" wich deals with subjects on Free Culture and open moviments. I noticed that you worked on it! It´s one of my favorite templates in wikipedia, and I was wondering what else can we do to make it bigger and link to many other related articles and topics!

I have a great interest in bring this subject closer to people, if you want to talk about it and make a brainstorm, i´ll love it! Ogat (talk) 14:02, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Bastyr University
I appreciate your comments on the article on Bastyr University, where my granddaughter is set to start the dietetics master's program next fall, that I saw in the talk archive. It seems like that page and some related ones have been hijacked by certain persons. Words like scam and quackery are epithets that suggest that those involved in naturopathy are dishonest hucksters, when in reality they are mostly honest people acting in good faith. But that sort of shallow demonization does little to promote civil discourse or an understanding of doctrines and ideologies, deeply flawed or not, that have evolved over centuries. Really shocked to see something so demagogic on Wikipedia. So thanks again.Tom Cod (talk) 01:52, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello re Signpost election article
Let's wait to put your Signpost draft in the next issue. That will give us plenty of time to come up with something amazing. Best Regards,   Barbara    ✐  ✉  22:58, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I am not able to withdraw the proposal without a rationale. This election should take 8 months but there is some distracting pressure (maybe US$100k of WMF's money on the line? possibly 10x more?) to finish it in 4. I am helping with the election but at the same time no one is at fault if this does not go out. There is no action that you could take in any direction - either support or push back - that could have an outcome other than positivity. I am not sure what you have in mind, but if you have an idea, please say so in the newsroom.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  01:52, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
