Thank you
Hi JohnDavidWard, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia's coverage of the Korean language! Your efforts are very much appreciated, and it is always good to have more editors in the area of linguistics here. I see that you've signed up to WikiProject Linguistics, so I want to personally thank you for your participation, as I am also involved in work in applied linguistics there. I also wonder if you might be interested in WikiProject Languages, dedicated to our coverage of specific languages, and WikiProject Korea, dedicated to our coverage of Korea in general. If you have any questions about linguistics articles, or about any other part of Wikipedia, please feel free to ask me. You can ask on my talk page, or here if you prefer, as I'll be watching this page. All the best —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 08:09, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see you already found WikiProject Korea. A Korean language working group sounds like a great idea to me, if there are other editors interested. I suggest leaving a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Languages as well, as it would probably be a subgroup of that project too. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 08:23, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. In Korean grammar, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Plurality (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

 * I went ahead and did the disambiguation for you. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 10:45, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks. I'll have to check that more carefully from now on. JohnDavidWard (talk) 04:34, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

San Francisco meetup at WMF headquarters
Hi JohnDavidWard,

I just wanted to give you a heads-up about the next wiki-meetup happening in SF. It'll be located at our very own Wikimedia Foundation offices, and we'd love it if some local editors who are new to the meetup scene came and got some free lunch with us :) Please sign up on the meetup page if you're interested in attending, and I hope to see you soon!

Are you active?
I am contacting you on behalf of WikiProject Linguistics. You have not made an edit in the last 6 months so please reply within the next few days, or your account will be moved to the inactive participants list and nothing could make me sadder. :'( Speling12345 (talk) 4:56, 19 December 2013 (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.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:55, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
