Hello
Hello KSRolph,

Do you by any chance have any links to some of your work done throughout Latin America? Also, have you worked within Amazonia?

HEY BGG2 - THIS IS A COPY OF MESSAGE SENT TO DRMIES
Dear Drmies,

Bgg2 is studying Wikipedia authorship and editing; our ambassadors have been advised, and the deletions and detail of how this affects the user, interaction with Drmies, etc. is useful for learning. Please permit Bgg2 to edit again. I will oversee his contributions. Thank you kindly. Really great to know there are gate keepers too, by the way! KSRolph (talk) 19:05, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * KSRolph, if you're using Wikipedia for class assignments, there are a few helpful things you can do. Have a look at School and university projects. It has some useful advice, first of all, and a list where you can add your project. One helpful thing you (and your students) can do is place a template on the talk page of an article if they are actively working on it (that is, if they're doing more than make one or two small edits): see Template:Educational assignment. For practical purposes, having a list of students somewhere in your user space (maybe on a dedicated space like this one, User:KSRolph/class list) is also a good idea, for yourself and for other editors, maybe with a link from your talk page to that list. Let me know if I can help. Thanks, and good luck, Drmies (talk) 19:43, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Professor,

I'm planning to make edits on the following wikipedia pages- "Tigrinya language", 'African immigrants to Italy", "Eritrean Refugees" "Tigrinya verbs" and create my own page about Eritrean immigrants.  These will be the four edits and one new page i  want to work on.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wisdomize (talk • contribs) 04:42, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Pr. Rolph,

I really like the idea of a class list page. It might be a good space for us to get together and talk about our projects and coordinate group activities. Also, as the space is in Wikipedia, it might help everyone get used to wiki technology. Colorfulsocks (talk) 20:35, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Occupy Hand Signals
KSRolph. Thank you for your support. I created Occupy hand signals and additions of photos or videos would be appreciated.

On a related note, I see you've bumped into some issues related to copyvio and self referencing. Welcome to the club. We all go through it. If you want to vet anything before dropping it into an article, feel free to drop me a note on my talk page.--Nowa (talk) 13:07, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Reminder! Women's History Month edit-a-thon
Just a friendly reminder about the Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon for Women's History Month :)

Date: Saturday, March 17, 2012 from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM (PT)

Location: Wikimedia Foundation Offices 149 New Montgomery Street, 6th floor San Francisco, CA 94105

Bring: Your laptop and charger (we'll have some extra computers available), your questions, and your friends!

What to expect: A fun, laid-back environment with food, drink, a great mix of people, and a wealth of knowledge and resources.

Public transport: BART to Montgomery station and walk 1 block down New Montgomery St.

Reminder: The St. Patricks Day parade will be starting at 11:30 on Market Street. Market street will most likely be closed to cars so please plan your journey accordingly ;-)

When you arrive: A volunteer will be at the front of the building to greet everyone arriving 12:40 - 1:20. You will take the elevator up to the 6th floor.

If you are early: If you expect to come earlier than 12:40 to help set-up, please let us know, so we can give you a contact number.

If you arrive later: No problem. There will be a phone number posted to the front door of the office building. A volunteer will run down and let you in.

We can't wait to see you on Saturday! Maryana (WMF) (talk) 23:29, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

HighBeam
Hello, I am sending this message to editors who signed up for the Women's History Month Edit-a-thon. Please help spread the word. HighBeam Research--an online, pay-for-use search engine for newspapers, magazines, academic journals, newswires, trade magazines and encyclopedias has agreed to give free, full-access, 1-year accounts for up to 1000 Wikipedia editors to use. HighBeam has access to over 80 million articles from 6,500 publications, most of which are not available for free elsewhere on the internet. Aside from a free 7-day trial (credit card required), access to HighBeam would cost $30 per month or $200 per year for the first year and $300 for subsequent years, so this is a wonderful, free, no-strings-attached opportunity. To qualify, editors must have at least a 1 year-old account with 1000 edits. Please add your name to the WP:HighBeam/Applications account sign-up page if you are interested.  Cullen <sup style="color:purple;">328  Let's discuss it  18:36, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Your class accounts
Hi. I'd like to apologise to you first of all for the trouble you went through with your class accounts getting blocked - I have to own up, because I'm the one who started that ball rolling. There is a limit per IP address, of 5 accounts per day - and when I started seeing multiple accounts getting made within hours of each other, all starting with "17", I figured something was up, and (I know now, wrongly) smelling trouble, I made a report to our team who investigate sockpuppetry on here.

Obviously now, I know better, and realise your accounts weren't sockpuppets, but it would be a great idea in future to leave a note on the Administrator's noticeboard so that admins are aware what you're doing, and we can then prevent this from happening again! Thank you, and sorry. <font style="background:white;" color="purple"> BarkingFish 23:38, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

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.

We will have no formal agenda to allow people to freely share ideas and perhaps learn about Wikipedia through hands-on editing. Co-organizer Ben Creasy will be looking at election-related articles to enhance the information available in the upcoming November elections.



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.

You will have to register in advance, but we would love to see more people from the WikiSalon community participate! For more information and registration, please check out Wikimania 2022/San Francisco Meetup.

The event will involve hacking, teaching, learning, and celebrating and we'll have snacks. We will have the opportunity to watch live sessions at Wikimania together in the afternoon.
