Pitt Pendulums
I noticed a while back you had tried to create an article on the Pitt Pendulums but it was deleted because of insufficient notability. I believe it would be a worthwhile article, and having been profiled on On Q as well as its competition in the regionals of the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella would justify its notability. The key to pass notability is to make sure when you are starting the article to cite as many references to the group as possible from newspapers or other media. A listing of accomplishments, etc. would also help, as well as any photos. Adding the appropriate categorizations also helps to demonstrate its place in Wikipedia. It may be best to work on it in a User:Ninepeanuts/Sandbox before going live. Feel free to ask me any questions, I'd be happy to help. CrazyPaco (talk) 20:16, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Pittsburgh event for Wikipedia's tenth anniversary
Hi! Since you have a connection to Pittsburgh, I wanted to invite you to the Wikipedia Tenth Anniversary celebrations we're having in Pittsburgh on Saturday, January 15. During the daytime, we're going to be having a photo contribution drive where anyone can bring in their digital photos or prints and Wikipedians will teach people how to upload them and add them to articles, and maybe introduction to Wikipedia workshops as well. Then in the evening, we'll have fun at the Carson City Saloon. There will be free Wikipedia t-shirts and other goodies, as well. See the Pittsburgh meetup page for more details. I hope to see you there!--ragesoss (talk) 15:43, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop at CMU (Aug 15)
Since you are a member of the WikiProject University of Pittsburgh, I'd like to invite you to the Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop that will take place at CMU on Aug 15 (this workshop is open to general public, and is a joint imitative of CMU and Pitt). There will be another workshop held at Pitt in the Fall as well. It will cover how to include Wikipedia in one's course (WP:SUP) and also how to become a Campus Ambassadors. Pennsylvania has currently only one ambassador (myself) and it would be great if we could recruit at least several more. Ambassadors help course instructors, showing them how Wikipedia works, and interact with students. Many current ambassadors come from the body of students, faculty and university staff; it is a fun adventure, and adds to one resume/CV, to boot :) If it sounds interesting, feel free to ask me any questions, or to come to the workshop. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk 19:33, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
