NYC Meetup: Saturday, December 4
Our next Wikipedia NYC Meetup is this weekend on Saturday Dec 4 at Brooklyn Museum during their awesome First Saturdays program, starting at 5 PM.

A particular highlight for the wiki crowd will be 'Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958–1968', and the accompanying "WikiPop" project, with specially-created Wikipedia articles on the artists displayed on iPads in the gallery.

This will be a museum touring and partying meetup, so no excuses about being a shy newbie this time. Bring a friend too!

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

To keep up-to-date on local events, you can also join our mailing list. This has been an automated delivery by BrownBot (talk) 22:23, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

You're a pretty Awesome Wikipedian too! Hope to catch up with you again at Meetup/NYC/Wikipedia Day or sooner.--Pharos (talk) 03:41, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you
Very kind of you to think of granting me a special day. Its much appreciated. Happy editing.  T i a m u t talk 21:04, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you
Dearest La comadreja, Thank you very much for the special day, I will treasure it :-) And congratulations to you on being an Awesome Wikipedian.  Although I hesitate to say this to you because I think in general you should spend *less* time onwiki, your wiki contributions are, of course, beautiful--always kind, interesting, and (an article about a certain high school excepted), beautifully neutral. You're the kind of person who makes the wiki (and, well, the world in general) a better place, and I am so lucky to know you! I don't deserve this yet, but you actually do :-) I'm looking forward to seeing you soon. Love, CordeliaNaismith (talk) 01:30, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Dearest La comadreja, Cordelia said it all so beautifully, what can I say but DITTO! You are a treasure!! Thank YOU!! Namaste...DocOfSoc (talk) 23:48, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

I never thought that I could be embarrassed by receiving an award but I am. Thank you very much. (Salmon1 (talk) 15:52, 18 December 2010 (UTC))

Thanks!
Thank you so much! I don't really know what I did to deserve this award (especially considering I haven't been online for a while - at least not actively), but thanks so much!  Arctic   Night  16:32, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration
I belatedly saw your initiative. I recently and quite unintentionally got involved in a couple of articles within the subject area. Within a day was blocked on 1RR violation, and now effectively prevented from editing Israel and the apartheid analogy.

I am here to tell you that your initiative is a waste of time. It is virtually impossible to edit under the restrictions placed on editors in anything 'controversial' due as much to deficient low Wikipedia standards, and sheer obstructive-mindedness of others who declare their undying loyalty to Wikipedia, but would rather see crap articles stay that way than allow others to contribute over their copy.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that under such conditions the people able to contribute in the best way are probably opting out of the very articles that need them.

In a sense, where Israeli-Palestine article area is concerned it seems to reflect what I was told about Israel. Everyone wants peace, but everyone knows someone who was damaged by someone else, so everyone is quite prepared to put a bullet in anyone's head to make sure they know what really matters. Except in Wikipedia its a different B-word, block.

I'm off to do other articles where I won't get hounded out, blocked, or told some idiot professor is a good source because someone has been paying his tenure for a couple of decades although he hasn't produced one worthwhile paper in the academic standard he would demand of me, or you for that matter.

anti-Semitism
I started a protracted thread on Noleander at AN/I - I do not recall your participating; the whole case has been moved to ArbCom. I regret this because I never wanted this to be a personal conflict between Noleander and myself. I did wish to get the community to discuss how to recognize and address anti-Semitic editing. I think you have made good contributions to the anti-Semitism article in the paast. If you have any suggestions about how one can recognize anti-Semitic texts - in this context, how to distinguish between adding text at WP that is about anti-Semitism, or that is simply poorly-written information about Jews, and actual anti-Semitic writing, I would really appreciate your input. I think this is an issue the community has had a lot of trouble confronting, and I find it hard sometimes to explain effectively. Also, given your interest in history, could you help out at Economic history of the Jews? This was an article Noleander originally called "Jews and money," which prompted my AN/I proposal. Anyway, the article is now at AfD but if the closing admin. reads it as a poll, it will NOT be deleted. If you want to know why I think it is a hopeless case I wrote up a critique here but the point is: I am not an econommic historian and mmy knowledge of Jewish history and the current resources i.e. current reliable and authoritative scholarship is such that I cannot begin to fix it.

Your admin status
Hello. I'm a steward. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus recently. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on wikis with no inactivity policy. You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on enwikiversity, where you are an administrator. Since that wiki does not have its own administrators' rights review process, the global one applies. If you want to keep your rights, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights, and demonstrate a continued requirement to maintain these rights. We stewards will evaluate the responses. If there is no response at all after approximately one month, we will proceed to remove your administrative rights. In cases of doubt, we will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact us on m:Stewards' noticeboard. Best regards, Rschen7754 20:59, 23 November 2014 (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.
