Art+Feminism 2016 in SF
Hi Ijon, I met you at last year's Art+Feminism edit-a-thon hosted at California College of the Arts' Oakland campus. We're planning to host the edit-a-thon again this year on Saturday March 5th, except we'll use our San Francisco campus. Would you be interested in joining us again and giving short talk on editing? And if not, could you put me in touch with someone else at Wikimedia who might be willing? Thanks! — Phette23 (talk) 23:34, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, Phette23! I'd be delighted to, but unfortunately cannot commit very long in advance, as my travel schedule for March is still uncertain, and will remain so through mid-February at least.  In the meantime, I will relay your request on the office mailing list and see if there are any takers. Ijon (talk) 00:06, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
 * That's perfect. Thanks so much! — Phette23 (talk) 21:19, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Judgment of Solomon
היי אסף, זה ראובן מוויקיפדיה העברית. האנגלית שלי סבירה אבל לא מעולה, אבל אני חושב שיש לי הרבה מה לתרום גם לוויקיפדיה האנגלית בתחום המקרא (כלומר "הברית הישנה"). אבל אני צריך מישהו שיעבוד אתי או יעבור אחריי, ישפר את הניסוחים ויתקן מה שצריך. עדיף מישהו ששולט גם בעברית וגם באנגלית. אני יודע שזה לא אידיאלי, אבל בסופו של דבר התוכן חשוב יותר מהצורה. בתור התחלה אני רוצה להרחיב את הערך על משפט שלמה על פי הערך המקביל שכתבתי בעברית. ביקשתי עצה ב"בית התה" והציעו לי לפנות אליך. אתה מכיר מישהו שיכול לעזור? תודה, ראובן מ.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Suleiman the Magnificent, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rusyn. 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.

Hi folks,

We would like to invite you to this month's Bay Area WikiSalon. The last Wednesday evening of every month, Wikipedia and Wikimedia enthusiasts gather to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas.

Co-organizer Stephen LaPorte has suggested doing an upload-a-thon for Wiki Loves Monuments. Niki, the California coordinator for WLM will be in attendance. WLM is an annual event and the official dealine is Friday the 30th for submissions to count towards awards.

Or, you can grab a couch, a booth, or a stool and do your own thing.

This also helps us figure out how much food and drink to bring in! Feel free to stop by even if only to say a quick hello, but you might have to give us a last minute call if you forget to RSVP. Also, don't be shy about hitting us up if you have thoughts on future speakers or wiki-related activities.

For further details, please see: Wikipedia:Bay Area WikiSalon, September 2016. Mark your calendars now for the 3rd Wednesday in October, the 26th, when we will have a brief presentation.
