Re: PhD theses as references
Hi Lirazelf. Thanks for the message at, and sorry for not replying sooner! Personally, I view PhD theses as a reference that can be used if needed, provided it's relatively easily accessible (e.g., it's online, or published, but not if there is only one copy held in a university library - depending on how old it is). It's much better to reference journal papers, though - in my field (astronomy) it's fairly common to also publish significant results from a thesis in a journal as well, but that might not be the case in all fields? And even better is referencing secondary sources, where those are available. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 18:20, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Brilliant, thanks Mike! Lirazelf (talk) 10:19, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Wikimedian in Residence
Hi Lirazelf,

I'm a wikipedian currently based in Glasgow and I'm interviewing for a wikimedian in residence position on Friday! My research for the interview brought me to your userpage. Hopefully if I get the position I'll get a chance to work with you - reading up on your work has really helped me get my head around the position so I definitely owe you a coffee if I get my dream job!

 * Thanks for your reply - it is the Edinburgh position! I think it's so fantastic that they are going to have their own wikimedian and it's great to see Scotland being a leader in this, regardless of who gets the job. Arianna the First (talk) 15:11, 16 November 2015 (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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

History of Medicine editathon
Hello again, ! Apologies for taking so long to get back to you after last week but am just recovering from the flu. Thank you so much for taking part in the History of Medicine editathon. Just so you know, we uploaded in excess of 500 images to Wiki Commons (of which you did LOADS), created 4 brand new articles on Wikipedia, and improved a further 56! For the event page, click here or to see the whole illustrated story of the event then you can click here: Storify: ILW editathon 2016 I hope that you enjoyed the day, and that we'll see you on Wiki again soon.

Now that you've learned - or refreshed - the basics of editing using Wikipedia’s Visual Editor, I hope that you'll stay logged in and edit or create more articles. I've added some booklets and some links below that you may find useful into a nice gallery format.




 * Visual Editor user guide
 * Is your topic notable enough for an article?
 * Be Bold!
 * Don't let grumpy users scare you off.
 * Learn from others
 * How to write a great article
 * A simplified manual of style

The next up-and-coming Wikipedia event is this one run by yourself Sara Thomas, Wikimedian in Residence at Museums and Galleries Scotland but I've made the link known to all the folks at the last one. Details here (although you know your own event): Modern Scottish Women 2 - Art & Feminism The University of Edinburgh are also looking into running an editathon for International Women’s Day on (or near) 8th March 2016 – details are still to be confirmed but will be updated on my project page here: Wikipedia:University_of_Edinburgh

See you soon! Stinglehammer (talk) 01:47, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

hah! yeay :) Lirazelf (talk) 15:07, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Reply to your WMUK mailing list post: let's make a flyer!
Hi Sara! Just saw your post on the WMUK newsletter about "collating/editing information about the benefits of open knowledge" into a nice and simple flyer. Very happy to do the design (though not right away, currently focusing on finishing my degree). So if you write the text, I can start working on the design in the second week of April (I would've submitted my dissertation by then!) Cheers --Flycatchr 13:06, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

A page you started (Helen Biggar) has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating Helen Biggar, Lirazelf!

Wikipedia editor Blythwood just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

"Looks good. Hell UnLtd sounds really interesting and I've tried to add a summary using the BFI synopsis."

To reply, leave a comment on Blythwood's talk page.

The 10,000 Challenge
Hi, at The 10,000 Challenge we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors! If you think you'd be interested in collaborating on this and helping reach the target quicker, please sign up and begin listing your entries there as soon as possible! Thanks.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:40, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland 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 Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia 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. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 09:57, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
