María Teresa Ferrari
Keilana, I am doing my first ever GA nomination. The reviewer has asked for "wikilinking of the medical concepts" and said that you might be able to assist me. Frankly, I'd appreciate any help, as first it is medicine, which I know little about and second the sourcing is all in Spanish, so I have Spanish medical terms which is pretty "Greek" to me LOL SusunW (talk) 22:49, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * My Spanish is es-2 at best, so I'm not sure I can help with the Spanish, but I've wikilinked a bunch of medical concepts - I hope that helps! Good luck with your first GA - hopefully the first of many. It's a really cool article! :) All the best, Keilana&#124;Parlez ici 04:13, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. They tell me it is not long enough, so I am trying to expand it with the few sources available. Story of my life. Nobody knows about them because there are no articles. There are no articles because there are no source articles. Vicious circle. SusunW (talk) 04:39, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Welcome to the women scientists scholarship struggle...we need a support group or something. ;) Keilana&#124;Parlez ici 05:42, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Surely it's easier to prove scientists than activists? At least with scientists they are considered professionals and not just pushy women... oh never mind, what am I thinking... I clearly need sleep. ;) SusunW (talk) 06:10, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Go sleep! Tomorrow is another day for kick-ass writing. :) Keilana&#124;Parlez ici 06:13, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I think I have done all that I can with her. If you get a minute, could you peruse the article and see if I have made any blatant errors with the medical stuff? Also, I cannot find a template to document medial papers so I just used the "journal" citation. Is there a better way to cite her selected works? Thank you. SusunW (talk) 21:15, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It looks great! Fantastic job!! Using cite journal is the right way to cite medical articles, so you did well with that too. Best, Keilana&#124;Parlez ici 22:44, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Fingers crossed (imagine, a Latina and a doctor, not a celebrity as a good article). They said a whole lot more about all of those procedures and postpartum fevers, but I didn't understand it, the translator machine made it gobbledeegoop and I figured most people could go to the links if they wanted more. I was kind of surprised that there is no article on vaginoscope, but just ended up SMDH. Thanks for your help. Really appreciate it. SusunW (talk) 22:58, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, I can at least fix the lack-of-vaginoscope-article problem! *cracks knuckles* Keilana&#124;Parlez ici 06:00, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Woot! and then list it as a new article on Women in Red! SusunW (talk) 13:13, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Friendly heads up
Hi Keilana, wanted to let you know the link to your talk page in your signature doesn't work in my mobile browser (latest Android Chrome). I don't see anything wrong with your signature that's causing the issue; it might be the sup tags, but that's just a guess. Other users' talk links work fine for me. I recommend you and your friends test this and see if you can replicate the issue. Hope this is helpful. Townlake (talk) 15:03, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know - I'll see if I can figure it out (or just change my sig). Cheers, Keilana&#124;Parlez ici 17:06, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Prep building
Hi, I'm glad you're getting more involved in building prep sets. I just want to mention that just as we try to alternate topics in each prep – alternating bios and non-bios, U.S.-based and foreign subjects, we also try to alternate the lead images in succeeding prep sets. A general rotation is: bio (or painting showing people), nature, buildings, graphics, food, and back to bios. Best, Yoninah (talk) 09:56, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 September newsletter
The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.

In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.

The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:


 * , who is competing in his sixth consecutive Wikicup final, again finished the round in first place, with an impressive 1666 points in Pool B. Casliber writes about the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy.  A large bulk of his points this round were bonus points.
 * , second place both in Pool B and overall, earned the bulk of his points with FPs, mostly depicting currency.
 * , first in Pool A, came in third. His specialty is natural science articles; in Round 4, he mostly submitted articles about insects and botany.  Five out of the six of the GAs he submitted were level-4 vital articles.
 * , second in Pool A, took fourth overall. He tends to focus on articles about cricket and military history, specifically the 1640s First English Civil War.
 * , from Pool A, was our highest-scoring wildcard. West Virginia tends to focus on articles about the history of (what for it!) the U.S. state of West Virginia.
 * , from Pool A, likes to work on articles about British geography and places. Most of his points this round were earned from two impressive accomplishments: a GT about Scheduled monuments in Somerset and a FT about English Heritage properties in Somerset.
 * , from Pool B, came in seventh overall. RO earned the majority of her points from GARs and PRs, many of which were earned in the final hours of the round.
 * , also from Pool B, who was competing with RO for the final two spots in the final hours, takes the race for most GARs and PRs—48.

The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.

Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

Five minutes to help make WikiProjects better
Hello!

First, on behalf of WikiProject X, thank you for trying out the WikiProject X pilot projects. I would like to get some anonymous feedback from you on your experience using the new WikiProject layout and tools. This way, we will know what we did right, and if we did something horribly wrong, we can try to fix it. This feedback won't be associated with your username, so please be completely honest. We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X.)

Please complete the survey here. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete. Once you complete the survey I will leave a handwritten note on your talk page as a token of my appreciation.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Harej (talk) 17:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 15 December
''This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.'' As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have access to nonpublic information and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. The general confidentiality agreement is now ready, and the OTRS agreement will be ready after 22 September 2015. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnum@undefinedwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,

Gregory Varnum (User:GVarnum-WMF), Wikimedia Foundation

Account creator bit
Keilana, our dates have firmed up and per our prior discussion, I'm going to need the 'noratelimit' bit on September 30 for a tutorial and sign up session and on October 10 for the actual edit-a-thon event. If you'd like to just go ahead and grant it now, I'll remember to remind you to revoke it after the 10th so neither of us have to remember to do those things last minute. I promise I won't abuse (or, indeed, in all likelihood use it at all) it in the interim. Best regards, TransporterMan  ( TALK ) 14:19, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Lineup of the E-Sports team of Cloud9 in Counter Strike: Global Offensive
Hello, the revert of my changes to the lineup of the current team of Cloud9 (esports) for the game Counter Strike: Global Offensive was "a mistake" and probably a hasty decision. The (now restored) lineup consisted of the name of one player from the team copied five times. I assume the correct lineup was ommited from the field of view of the reverter due to subsequent acts of vandalism. I restored the correct lineup, which was last included on September 24th, and sourced hltv.org (a scene page) in my edit summary. Weblinks could be: or preferably:
 * http://www.hltv.org/?pageid=173&playerid=203&eventid=0&gameid=2 (section teammates)
 * http://wiki.teamliquid.net/counterstrike/Cloud9
 * http://cloud9.gg/csgo/

I'd like to request a second glance the next time, especially if the previous content had such an exposed flaw, the editor has an account (and was apparently not sanctioned for vandalism) and the change had an edit summary. Sincerely --Soulblydd (talk) 17:46, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Movement Wide Finance Report 2014
Dear Keilana,

I’m Alex, currently a finance fellow (i.e intern) at the Wikimedia Foundation. I worked before for Wikimedia France, planning the Hackathon Lyon 2015 mainly. I'm today contacting you because of your activity for Wikimedia Women User Group.

Last year, Finance Fellows produced a financial report that included financial activity from every chapters. It was great and has been presented at the Wikimania in Mexico.

If you haven’t seen the results of the Report 2013, here they are: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-wide_Financial_Trends_Report_2013

We’re currently starting the Report 2014 and this year we also want to include user groups to improve the scope of our work. I want to tell you that I’ve tried to make the process as short and easy as possible, so that shouldn’t require a lot of your time.

The aim of such a report is global. It helps having an idea of how the money is used across the movement, it helps chapters and user groups to learn about best practice and finally it leads to more transparency through a qualitative work, which I believe is important.

Could you briefly tell me if you had any income and expenses in 2014? If you are not the person responsible for this, please tell me who is the user the most likely to know this information.

I’ll be your contact for this project this year, I’m looking forward to working with you!

Cheers, ACella (WMF) (talk) 23:32, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Invitations for Women in Science editathon
Hi Keilana, I've put together a provisional list of people and projects who should be invited to participate in the Women in Science editathon in November. You will see one section covers editors who are active in the area of women scientists. Perhaps you would like to add a few names yourself? I intend to send invitations out to the WikiProjects as soon as we have firm dates and to the individual editors at the beginning of November. Is that OK with you?--Ipigott (talk) 12:27, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Even though you already have my support for your ArbCom candidacy, this answer alone would have won me over. Deep-dish pizza is indeed real pizza - anybody who disagrees is wrong; in fact, this should probably be asked of all the candidates.

My question is whether the Wikipedia Education Program could help me organize my monitoring of what students do. Up till now, I have been focusing on creating practice quizzes and developing software to write exams. Now I want to develop labs. --Guy vandegrift (talk) 20:47, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Aw, thank you both! :) Keilana (talk) 16:16, 24 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm really curious to see what the massmessage does to voter turnout. I'm arbitrarily hijacking your talk page because you were the first person I saw whose name I recognized to get one in the most recent batch, but there was a definite spike in votes in the time since the last tranche of message went out.  I'm hoping to do (or convince someone else to do) statistical analysis of what effect they had, but since we randomize the way candidates appear, you wouldn't expect a consistent towards-the-front bias, and a large infusion of voters who take the times to inform themselves of the issues to any meaningful degree could be quite an exciting thing.  (Although if we somehow quantified voter informedness and the average voter ahead of time was 2, an average totally informed voter was 1, and the average voter attracted by the mass message was 1.2, this wouldn't necessarily by an ideal thing, although I think it'd still something worth trying to adapt for some future elections.)  Best, Kevin Gorman (talk) 17:45, 24 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keilana, I think it's only fair to tell you that I too have voted for you. I would have liked to have been able to make a more thorough recommendation somewhere but it's probably considered inappropriate for candidates to be writing voter guides.

An article that tugs at my heartstrings
Hey, I love how you recommended that editors focus on an article that tugs at their heartstrings. So, I decided to do a crazy thing right up that alley. I've been working on this big expansion of the garage rock article, which is currently being reviewed for GA. I'll make some more extensions to it later and see if it can eventually reach FA. I'm guessing that you follow music. Well, here's an article about that time back in the 60s when there was a band on every other block! And, the incredible thing is that a lot of these bands went to the local studio and cut records, so we have literally tens of thousands of recordings of this wonderful music that is rarely ever heard, but would be an inspiration to anyone that loves rock & roll. A lot of people do not realize that in addition to happening at the summit of rock's golden age, garage rock was also the golden age for all-female rock bands. There were hundreds of them! I added a section about some of these great bands, but I am going to go back soon and expand the section to include even more. So, give the article a read and enjoy! Garagepunk66 (talk) 19:05, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Great idea! Garagepunk66 (talk) 19:41, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * That's a great article! It's so cool to read about some of these bands - some of which I listen to regularly. :) Let me know if you need a review anytime! Keilana (talk) 22:18, 25 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Well, as it turns out, the article is currently under review for GA, but I'll keep you in mind for the future. I want to have it reviewed later for FA (probably this summer)--I want to add some more pieces before then.  But, I'll keep you posted! Garagepunk66 (talk) 00:21, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

inter? intra?
Hi! This is so minor, I guess, that I'll ask here. In a [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2015/Candidates/Keilana&diff=692256672&oldid=692136734 recent reply for the ACE] you mentioned "inter-committee disagreements" (my bold, my link). I presumed you meant "intra-committee disagreements", but... Explanation: as far as I know, in Portuguese usage (I am portuguese) "inter-" would refer, in this context, to conflicts with another comittee(s) - but I can not think which is the other one. While "intra-" would mean conflicts inside the ArbCom itself - which I presumed makes more sense. The wiktionary links above are of no help as they list them simultaneously as synonyms and antonyms! If it is only me with some difficulty over the English language, please tell me here, otherwise, maybe you need to rephrase the reply. I hope I was not too confusing... Thanks, and good luck - Nabla (talk) 20:50, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * You're absolutely right, Nabla, I screwed up there. I'll fix it. Your English is better than mine! Best, Keilana (talk) 22:23, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I doubt it :-) Tks - Nabla (talk) 11:47, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
 * PS: but my Latin may be better... I see you study Arabic. Can you point any place on the web where I can get a decent grasp of it? No hurry - its just something I would like to do for a long time - there is some Arabic influence in Portuguese - and I am not planning to do it any time soon, but given the chance I asked. So, feel free to forget about it or reply at a later less busy times :-) - Nabla (talk) 11:55, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

A kitten for you!
Because there simply weren't enough cats on your talk page. Σ;3 <br style="clear: both;"/> Since you probably found User:GrammarFascist/About my cat unsatisfying, you'll find a photo of my cat here; her name is Princess Elizabest, she gets fussy about any changes in our household's schedule, and she enjoys having the toes of her back feet tickled, but her favorite thing is giving kisses, which she even prefers to being petted. One of her nicknames is Princess Kissyface.

I don't see any particular issue with you hearing cases regarding WMDC; however if any case arises involving either a) sharks or b) cats, I'd suggest serious self-reflection as to whether you can maintain the necessary degree of impartiality.
