Got it
I'm on the discussion page.

Press contact details
If you are receiving this message, you are either a new, existing, or possible future press contact for one of the languages you speak. What does this mean, being a press contact?

The Wikimedia Foundation runs a Communications Committee, which co-ordinates requests for interviews from the press. When we receive a request for an interview, often the journalist wants to interview someone that speaks their "native tongue", or someone that lives in the same country as their publication. For this reason, it is important the the Communications Committee keeps an up-to-date log of contributors that they can trust to represent the community in a professional manner.

This list of press contacts has started to grow. The goal is to eventually have at least one trusted user on the list from every country in the world, and one user for every language that the Foundation runs a project in.

What are your responsibilities? Whenever a journalist requests an interview, either by phone, by e-mail, or (rarely) in person, you are able to either answer the interview request, or pass the request off to another user that you trust. Whenever a newsworthy milestone is reached on your project, you should help co-ordinate the creation of a press release, and once it's ready, send it to me to post in your language's press room.

Any questions, comments, or concerns? Contact me directly. -- en:user_talk:zanimum

Kisah Sukses Wikipedia
That's the title of the Indonesian translation that you said to me. I just got it today (it was translated 2009, but last time I asked the local bookstore in my city, they still didn't carry it). Well, if I don't get the chance to translate the book, at least I got the honor to create the id.wp page :) I'll ask you to sign it on the next Wikimania :) Bennylin (talk)

Invitation


Hello! As there is a Wikipedia article about you, you are cordially invited to contribute a short audio recoding of your spoken voice, so that our readers may know what you sound like and how you pronounce your name. Details of how to do so, and examples, are at Voice intro project. Please feel free to ask for help or clarification on the project talk page, or my talk page.

Page reverted
Hello,

I have searched in vain for the good path to get administrator’s help for the following issue and so I decided to send this request to some including you. I have considerably expanded the article Guerrilla filmmaking and took care in referencing it as far as I could (over 90 links to trustful sources). I am an experienced editor of Wikipedia. For my surprise, the article was reverted by user CIRT to a preceding stub version mainly consisting of a very narrow list of films. Many important contents were removed. Self promotional vandalism seems to be the reason of such intervention, sustained by acute threats. I do not intend to respond with helpless and inconsequent arguments and the time I have to dedicate to Wikipedia is quite limited. I’d be happy if you could pay some attention to this occurrence and let you decide whatever you think is reasonable.

My best,

Tertulius (User talk:Tertulius) 06,05, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

President Wolfe proposed move
I couldn't get anyone to bite on this Proposed Move for President Wolfe, so I thought you might be interested.

User:Drrharpe33
I would like to know why you blocked User:Drrharpe33 for adding high school sports content, backed by a clearly reliable source to Kentucky town pages. The source is the Kentucky High School Athletic Association, the main organization in that state for managing high school athletics. Why was this removed from numerous pages and the user who added the content blocked? -  Neutralhomer •  Talk  • 00:28 on July 31, 2016 (UTC)

St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Secondary School (Tottenham)
I added a citation, which is what was needed in the article.

Helping out via GLAM
Hello,

I apologize if this is all wrong, but I was inspired after seeing that the Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative hosted a WikiAPA Edit-a-Thon. I was curious if there was any way I could be involved and contribute to editing or writing articles on similar topics.

Apologies again if this is not the preferred mode of conversation or if I misread the instructions.

Cheers.

Reference provided
I have provided the ref, please transform it in wiki language...Also need your help on the page The Great Gama since there are Indian fans who are removing my ref.

Gacaca Court article
Fuzheado, you seem to have accepted the revisions made by Amakuru which are political and without credible justification. Amakuru claims that the word "claim" is provocative/political and wishes to reduce the wikipedia entry to the position of the Rwandan government. It is critical that this entry distinguishes between what a government says and what researchers have shown to have happened in any historical context. Otherwise wikipedia becomes a source of propaganda for governments and those who work for them.

Proposed deletion of Lower Duck Pond


The article Lower Duck Pond has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-notable subreddit lore"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Jonathan Fraine & Lydia Pintscher present the practical integration of Wikidata's open-source, open-access knowledge graph to empower Generative AI applications. Harnessing the real-time updated, structured data encapsulated within Wikidata, they explore automated content creation, data augmentation, and semantic analysis, underpinning the generative paradigms. Through a blend of theoretical insights and real-world applications, they elucidate how to leverage Wikidata to elevate generative AI applications, breaking down existing data silos, and fostering a collaborative ecosystem within our global community of developers and contributors.

 *  Tool of the week 
 * Cersei - is a tool designed for importing or scraping data from various third-party sources, using source-specific Python code. It can use a "headless browser" to scrape complicated websites that rely on eg JavaScript to navigate. It can therefore access data sources that can not be accessed via eg Mix'n'match. The data from sources can be updated regularly, either for everything, or just changed entries (if the source has a "recent changes" equivalent).
 * Wikidata:Zotero/Cita - is a Wikidata addon for Zotero that adds citations (i.e., what other items an item cites) metadata support to this open source reference management software, using cites work (P2860) information available from Wikidata, and enabling users to easily contribute missing data.

 * Merge and diff - blog post by Magnus about adding new properties (taxon data speficially, NCBI, GBIF, and iINaturalist) to the AC2WD tool. If you have the user script installed on Wikidata (see tool below), AC2WD will automatically show up on relevant taxon items.

 Tool of the week 
 * Relationships between two Wikidata items a new tool hosted on Observable which looks at all statements involving a pair of Wikidata items.
 * User:Magnus Manske/ac2wd.js - This script adds an "AC2WD" link in the tools sidebar. When you click on it, it uses the AC2WD tool to check the item for certain Authority Control IDs (eg VIAF). It then checks these AC datasets for statements (and more AC IDs). It will then add any new information it found as new statements, or add more references to existing statements where possible. A green checkmark will be appended to the link if data was added (reload the page to see), otherwise a "&mdash;" if no new data was available.

ITN archives
Hi. I hope you are doing well. I am glad to tell you that In the news/Posted/Archives are now fully available, with all the vandalism/disruptive edits removed. While creating the bot for the archival process, I went through a lot of the older posts, you are one of the editors whose name popped quite often in ITN in "back in the day", so I personally wanted to let you know about the archives its nice to see that you are still active! —usernamekiran (talk) 22:04, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
