Event coordinator granted
After reviewing your request for the " eventcoordinator " permission, I have&#32;temporarily enabled the flag on your account&#32;until 2018-05-25. Keep in mind these things: If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the event coordinator right. Happy editing!

 * The event coordinator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
 * The event coordinator right allows you to temporarily add the " confirmed " permission to newly created accounts. You should not grant this for more than 10 days.
 * The event coordinator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the event coordinator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
 * Please note, if you were previously a member of the "account creator" group, your flag may have been converted to this new group.

Thanks TonyBallioni! Delphine Dallison (talk) 08:55, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of GLAM/SLIC/Events/Falkirk Local History Wikipedia Editathon 22.05.18


A tag has been placed on GLAM/SLIC/Events/Falkirk Local History Wikipedia Editathon 22.05.18 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.) that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the.

 * Hi there! I apologize for tagging this for speedy deletion, and I understand that you did this out of good faith. Unfortunately, all articles need to be considered notable in order to be kept, even if they are about something that will help Wikipedia. I appreciate that you're trying to help improve Wikipedia and help new editors, but an article about that is not what Wikipedia is meant for. Now, if you were able to find several sources mentioning this event, it would not qualify for speedy deletion; however, performing a quick Google search yields no results. Additionally, even if the subject were notable enough, the article would have to be toned down a lot to be encylcopedic, as the article reads like an advertisement right now. I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any questions about this or anything else!--SkyGazer 512 What will you say? / What did I do? 01:15, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * , you could have just moved it to the Wikipedia namespace to sit alongside all the other wiki events where it clearly belongs, GLAM/SLIC/Events/Falkirk Local History Wikipedia Editathon 22.05.18. Cabayi (talk) 06:08, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for moving it instead of keeping the CSD. Of course, if I had of known that was the case, I would have definitely moved it instead. And I apologize for the false alarm, Delphine Dallison - I'm glad everything ended up getting worked out (no speedy deletes, no anger...), and good luck with your event. :)--SkyGazer 512 What will you say? / What did I do? 12:43, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * No worries, SkyGazer 512! It was my typo that led to this whole debacle... And there was no harm done as it was already fixed before I even saw there was an issue. :) Delphine Dallison (talk) 15:02, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for being calm and civil about this - not all users are like that when I tag their page for speedy deletion. Again, I apologize for being so quick to SD it instead of just moving it like I should have. If you ever feel like I did something unfair to you in the future, please let me know (if it's an obvious mistake, you can slap me with a trout :)), and I'll try to fix it as soon as I can. I try to be as fair and correct as possible when editing Wikipedia, but I do make mistakes, more often than I wish I did.--SkyGazer 512 What will you say? / What did I do? 16:03, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Cabayi! Thank you for helping move my event page to the right place and stopping it being deleted. I'm new in post as a wikimedian in residence and this was my first time trying to create an event page. Clearly I did something wrong. Any advice to do it better next time? Delphine Dallison (talk) 09:01, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * You were just on my watchlist because I removed a defunct template from your userpage yesterday. I'd also seen your name at WP:PERM/EVC, put 2 & 2 together, and did my good deed for today. The only bit of advice that pops into my mind, pointing to your next event's page will help when applying for EVC for that event. Good luck with the new role & hosting your first event. Cabayi (talk) 09:28, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks Cabayi! Good deed much appreciated! :) Delphine Dallison (talk) 09:37, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Wikepedia for Public Libraries
Hi Delphine, many thanks for a great training day last Tuesday! I did my first edit on an existing article 'NorthLink Ferries' by removing a photo of a ship under old livery and replacing it with the photo to the right of 'Services' displaying aship under current branding, a very small edit but it's still there and not been reverted so I'm happy!

Tep Vanny
Hi Delphine. I've contested the speedy deletion and moved the Tep Vanny article to your user space at User:Delphine Dallison/Tep Vanny. You can develop it there without fear of deletion until you are happy that it will survive in mainspace. You'll be able to do that yourself, but I'm on hand if you need me to help. I'm on Skype as rexxuk or you can simply leave me a note on my talk page if you need advice on anything. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 13:05, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks RexxS! I hit the publish button a bit too early and forgot that I hadn't set it up as draft page. Lessons to be learnt is don't edit wikipedia when you're hungover... ;-) Delphine Dallison (talk) 18:30, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello and thank you!
Hi Delphine, I hope this is how I'm meant to use this page, and communicate with you... I'm still feeling very new and unsure of what I'm allowed and not allowed to do, so apologies if this ain't right! Anyway, thanks so much for all your enthusiasm, skills and patience on Saturday at BRAVE Edit - it was great to meet you, and also lovely to know that you've adopted Tep Vanny and will make it your mission to get her Wiki entry crated and then improved. You star! I'm completely sold on being a Wiki Editor and have just whiled away a couple of hours updating and improving a few entries, to keep my hand in and also to get the brownie points so I can get to create new pages soon! I'm hoping to help increase the number of women visible on Wiki, and especially Scottish women, so if you have any top tips or anything please let me know. Hope to see you again soon; we'll be in touch if we can cook up any plans to bring Libraries, Wiki and human rights defenders together again! SheWolffe (talk) 14:42, 23 May 2018 (UTC)Lois
 * Hi SheWolffe! You're definitely doing the right thing. Thanks for leaving a message, the BRAVE:Edit event was really fun and I'm glad I was involved. I'm glad to see you're wiki-hooked, please let me know if you come across any issues with your edits, I'm always happy to help. I was also thinking about you yesterday. I was having a discussion with someone from the Scottish Books Trust and we were talking about hosting an editathon together for World Book Week. Their theme for this year is rebellious stories and I think there could be some grounds for collaborations with Amnesty there. Got any good stories about rebellious writers?
