Cierra Levy
Hi, I am trying to figure out whether my group can do a Wikipedia article on the restaurant in Evanston, IL known as Oceanique. I looked up the notability policy and recognize that I can't use primary sources, press releases, advertising, or their website as sources. However, is it okay to use reviews, articles, as well as research we gather through going to the restaurant in person. Naturally, any research we do in person would be for just general information while still maintaing a Neutral point of view and can we take pictures if they allow it? Cierrajadell (talk) 17:57, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Cierra! I'm not sure if you're going to be able to find secondary sources about the restaurant. Let me look into it and I'll get back to you. :) Keilana&#124;Parlez ici 19:49, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 June newsletter
After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C, finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's, whose contributions included featured articles Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.

The round saw this year's first featured portal, with taking Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to and the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year.

Chicago-ish usergroup
Would you be interested in helping to organize some type of Wikimedian usergroup based around Chicago - Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Chicago 9. I think you could perhaps provide some leadership and experience with national activities that would be helpful to the local group. Btw, I mentioned this on the Wiknic talkpage because I thought people would notice it there, but certainly it doesn't have to be a function of one particular event, especially if you can't make it then.--Pharos (talk) 20:34, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Interview transcripts
In my opinion the transcripts for multimedia files should go straight to the description page at Commons so that they stay close together, as I've done. While I'm sure your user page would make a stable home also, I think that down the line the two are prone to become separated - for example, in the future a Wikipedia successor might mirror only the file but not your user page, or a volunteer trying to collate the content might casually discard a userpage link as not certain to be relevant. I don't guarantee opinion will agree with me, but I thought I should let you know that I made the copy. Wnt (talk) 19:34, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Need Help with Fixing Stats
I hope you are having a great summer. We are at PMML. Just a quick question... Do you know who can help us fix the statistics box on the PMML GLAM page? TeriEmbrey (talk) 16:51, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not terribly good with wiki markup, so I'm going to ping User:I JethroBT, he should be more helpful. Keilana&#124;Parlez ici 19:04, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey . Neither Keilana or I have the technical skills to fix the issue with the bot as far as I understand it.  I've gotten in touch with the maintainers of the bot that produces that statistics box.  I've also been reading around and the issue may deal with the server on which these programs are hosted and less so on this particular program, in which case we'd need to appeal to the Wikimedia Foundation directly, but I'd like to hear what the maintainers  and  have to say about the issue. I, JethroBT  drop me a line 19:07, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * and - that sounds like a good idea. If there's an issue, it probably isn't just affecting the PMML pages. Keilana&#124;Parlez ici 19:48, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * and Thanks for getting us in touch with the right people.  Hopefully, this is something that can be easily fixed. TeriEmbrey (talk) 20:39, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Wikimania Interview?
Hi!

My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller and video producer for the Wikimedia Foundation. I'll be looking to capture stories about Wikimedians at Wikimania in London in a week. Here is an example of the kind of thing that I'm aiming to do. I saw that you're attending Wikimania and I was wondering if you might have some time to talk about what do you on Wikimedia projects. I missed you at the last Chicago WikiMeetup (was hoping to meet you there more casually!) Anyway let me know if you are interested you are such an awesome contributor and I'd love to share your story as a profile. I'll be at Wikimania from the 6th-10th of August and would need maybe 30 minutes of your time. I can answer any questions you may have. I’m best reached at vgrigas(at)wikimedia.org

Thanks!

Re: Endometrial cancer
Hi Emily, thank you very much for the Barnstar! I am happy that people like my contribution on medical articles. Also, I should apology that I need to speed up on translation when reading your revised editions on Endometrial cancer. Because my major is Public Affairs, and I works in education section; women's disease and medical topics are extremely difficult for me to read, learn, and translate, even starting for a single word. Please help me if my translation does not work. Thank you!

Also, would you recommend some basic medical textbooks to me, particularly in gynecology area? Thank you! -- Walter Grassroot  | talk  15:09, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

page protection
Hi Keilana, please change the level of pp on Ebola virus disease to pending changes. There are several IP's who've made positive contributions, see the talk page, and blocking their contribs will just drive them away. Thanks. SW3 5DL (talk) 23:00, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'm not seeing any protected edit requests or anything from IPs in the past week or so. Could you point me to what you're talking about? Sorry I took so long to reply - have been traveling and sleeping. Best, Keilana&#124;Parlez ici 16:03, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Keilana. That page was just recently semi-protected August 4 through 19. I checked IP contribs between the 19th and 20th when the page was not protected and there didn't appear to be any heavy vandalism. Just a couple of edits that were easily spotted. Pending changes seems to be a good solution all around since bad IP edits can't make into the page. As for IP edit requests on talk pages, I'm not talking about those. I'm talking about good edits made directly to the article made by IPs. They're not all vandals. Thanks. SW3 5DL (talk) 19:04, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I do see what you're talking about - history not talk. My concern is more for MEDRS and misleading content than for blatant stupid vandalism, and it's such a high-visibility article right now that I don't think pending changes is a good idea. Keilana&#124;Parlez ici 00:43, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, there are regular editors at the page every day so they could easily handle pending changes requests. The page has to be unprotected at some point. There's no reason for the page to be semi-protected right now. There wasn't any real vandalism. We can't pp for MEDRS. Putting in RS is simply an editorial function. SW3 5DL (talk) 03:26, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I think input of the editors on the talk page would be helpful - I've brought it up there. Is that helpful? Keilana&#124;Parlez ici 15:26, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * That's a good idea. And it would be helpful if you post diffs of the vandalism that occurred between 20th and 21st when you protected the page for several months. SW3 5DL (talk) 20:42, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Keilana- Could you please add an internal link to Barry Hewlett, who is an authority on Ebola. Thanks, FirstWilberforce — Preceding unsigned comment added by FirstWilberforce (talk • contribs) 18:06, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Meetup at the Hull House!
Hey Emily! This is a repeat of a message I left you over phone, but the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum is doing an edit-a-thon later next week. They're interested in improving biographical articles related to women's leadership in social activism, so I thought you and others at Loyola might be interested in joining us. It's kind of on a weird day of the week (a Thursday afternoon) to accommodate students at UIC, but you're welcome to join us if you're free. It'd be great to have a few experienced editors to help out with the event so the arm-flailing around on my part can be minimized. :) I, JethroBT drop me a line 22:55, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, I don't think I got your phone message for some reason! I'm so sorry I didn't get back to you. I wish I could come but I'll be in immunology lab that whole time. I hope you have fun though! Keilana&#124;Parlez ici 00:01, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
 * No problem. I expected that most editors wouldn't be able to make it because of the date & time, but unfortunately it couldn't be changed.  I'm told we'll get a good number of students interested in social work, women's studies, and transgender activism; I'm hoping we can make some headway on article/content gaps in those areas, maybe including photographs of things at the museum itself.  I'll let you know how the event goes! I, JethroBT  drop me a line 20:34, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 August newsletter
The final of the 2014 WikiCup begins in a few short minutes! Our eight finalists are listed below, along with their placement in Round 4:


 * , a WikiCup newcomer, finished top of Pool A and was the round's highest scorer. Godot is a featured picture specialist, claiming large numbers of points due to high-quality scans of historical documents, especially banknotes.
 * 1) is a WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist every year since 2010. In the semi-final, he was Pool B's highest scorer. Cas's points primarily come from articles on the natural sciences.
 * 2) was Pool A's runner-up. Czar's points come mostly from content related to independent video games, including both articles and topics.
 * 3) was Pool B's runner-up. Another featured picture specialist, many of Adam's points come from the restoration of historical media. He has been a WikiCup finalist twice before.
 * 4) won the WikiCup in 2012 and 2013, and enters this final as the first wildcard. She focuses on biology-related articles, and has worked on several high-importance articles.
 * 5) is the second wildcard. George's points come primarily from meteorology-related articles. This year and last year, George was the first person in the competition to score.
 * , the third wildcard, was the 2010 champion and a finalist last year. His writes mostly on military history, especially naval history.
 * , the fourth and final wildcard, has participated in previous WikiCups, but not reached any finals. Bloom's points are mostly thanks to did you knows, featured lists and good articles related to sport and national symbols.

We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists. ,, , , , and  have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.

There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog.

There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Lend a hand as an ambassador for a Northwestern class?
Hi Keilana!

I'm a Communication Studies Professor at Northwestern teaching a course on Online Communities & Crowds this Fall. Since NU doesn't currently have a campus ambassador, I'm looking around to see whether a local Wikipedian (especially someone as super-experienced, accomplished, and ambassadorial as yourself) might be willing to lend a hand supporting our class.

Details about the course are available in the syllabus or from the shiny new Education Program class page. I'm really interested in finding someone local to act as an ambassador in the hopes that she/he/they might be willing to visit the class too (transportation and lunch on me, of course). If you have any feedback or questions; think you might be available/interested; and/or have any ideas about other folks (especially locals) who might be interested, please let me know! Thanks so much.

Can you take a look at this Draft RFC?
Hi Keilana,

Crisco 1492 and I have been working on a draft RFC relating to the Violence Against Men category, and what rules should be there for its use. Crisco 1492 suggested I ping you to take a look as an uninvolved third party. See User_talk:Crisco_1492. The second version of the RFC draft, lower in the section, is where we are now.

Your input is most welcome. Mattnad (talk) 16:55, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

WSU edit-a-thon
Hi Emily, hope all is well with you. I wanted to let you know that there's another outcome from our workshop last month! I'm conducting a workshop for the WSU librarians on Oct. 15, and helping out with their edit-a-thon on the 21st. I created a meet-up page: Meetup/WSU Open Access Week 2014. I'm very excited. Hopefully, it's the start of something bigger, like perhaps a Palouse Wikimedia Chapter.

Also, the GA Cup is up and running. I think we started developing when I was with you in DC. So things are good! Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 19:07, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Greetings & Inquiry from a fellow woman scientist
Hello there! My name is Gabi and I am a student in Aaron Shaw's Online Communities and Crowds class. I had a fabulous time hearing you talk about your work on WikiProject: Women's Scientists. So much so, in fact, that my group and I have decided to edit Catherine Furbish's page. We made great progress on the article within my sandbox, but we have a couple questions: 1) how do we cite the same source numerous times? 2) The title of the page is "CathArine Furbish" instead of "CathErine Furbish". How can we go about changing the name of the page? Catherine Furbish

Much thanks! Gabiravioli (talk) 19:29, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Gabi! Lovely to meet you! So, in order to move the page, you need to go to the "more" tab and click on "move", then enter the new name for the page and your reason for doing so. Check out the page on moving for more! Let me know if you have any questions, Keilana&#124;Parlez ici 16:35, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help with the MOVE! It is looking good. On our Catherine Furbish page, I am having difficulty figuring out how to cite the same source numerous times on the article. Is there a way to direct the references to the same citation? Or is it common to cite a source only once and not reference it after later sentences?

Thanks! Gabiravioli (talk) 16:58, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Gabi, you need to name the reference in order to use it multiple times. You can do this as such: <ref name=NAME> and then use it again later by typing . I hope that helps! Keep up the great work! Best, Keilana&#124;Parlez ici 18:10, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews
Hello. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular. The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered. If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.) If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with. Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors. I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Endometrial cancer for Today's Featured Article
I've set-up Endometrial cancer as a blurb for the Today's Featured Article requests process.

You can see it at Today's featured article/requests/Endometrial cancer.

However, as I myself have nominated a bunch of other articles lately, I won't actually transclude it at Today's featured article/requests.

If anyone else wishes to do so, they can follow the instructions at Today's featured article/requests, and then a discussion will start as to the article's consideration for the Main Page.

WikiCup 2015 is just around the corner...
Hello everyone, and may we wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2015 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. We have a few important announcements concerning the future of the WikiCup.


 * We would like to announce that Josh (J Milburn) and Ed (The ed17), who have been WikiCup judges since 2009 and 2010 respectively, are stepping down. This decision has been made for a number of reasons, but the main one is time. Both Josh and Ed have found that, over the previous year, they have been unable to devote the time necessary to the WikiCup, and it is not likely that they will be able to do this in the near future. Furthermore, new people at the helm can only help to invigorate the WikiCup and keep it dynamic. Josh and Ed will still be around, and will likely be participating in the Cup this following year as competitors, which is where both started out.
 * In a similar vein, we hope you will all join us in welcoming Jason (Sturmvogel 66) and Christine (Figureskatingfan), who are joining Brian (Miyagawa) to form the 2015 WikiCup judging team. Jason is a WikiCup veteran, having won in 2010 and finishing in fifth this year. Christine has participated in two WikiCups, reaching the semi-finals in both, and is responsible for the GA Cup, which she now co-runs.
 * The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. While it may be impossible to please everyone, the judges will make every effort to ensure that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
