Disambiguation link notification for February 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Paganism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pluralism (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Improving references for readability with Wikidata
Hello, I saw your proposal on village pump, and am really interested in helping make this happen. I'm a designer at WMF and have been working on future ideas to improve the readability of references. I would love to hear your opinion on the ideas there on the talkpage! I've also been working with the Visual Editor team to build a better citation dialogue that makes it easy to add a citation using a template. I wonder how this dialogue to grow in the future help editors easily pull existing Wikidata entries or create new entries. What are your thoughts on this?

 * Hi, there. Thanks for your support. While there was some interest, I thought my proposal might have died. I would love to further contribute to the discussion on reference readability. And, you're right to bring up the Visual Editor. Any system which allows users to enter less information makes GUI implementation easier. I think what I proposed could be applied to make citation via the Visual Editor far more user-friendly. —  Sowlos  19:35, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Medical Translation Newsletter Aug./Sept. 2014
Medical Translation Newsletter

Issue 2, Aug./Sept. 2014 by CFCF sign up for monthly delivery 

Feature – Ebola articles
During August we have translated Disease and it is now live in more than 60 different languages! To help us focus on African languages Rubric has donated a large number of articles in languages we haven't previously reached–so a shout out them, and Ian Henderson from Rubric who's joined us here at Wikipedia. We're very happy for our continued collaboration with both Rubric and Translators without Borders!
 * Just some of our over 60 translations:


 * Xhosa
 * Northern Sotho
 * Zulu
 * Tsonga
 * Venda
 * Hausa
 * Igbo
 * Yoruba
 * Kinyarwanda
 * Swahili
 * Tigrinya

At Wikimania there were so many enthusiastic people jumping at the chance to help out the Medical Translation Project, but unfortunately not all of them knew how to get started. That is why we've been spending considerable time writing and improving guides! They are finally live, and you can find them at our home-page! We're proud to announce a new sign up page at WP:MTSIGNUP! The old page was getting cluttered and didn't allow you to speficy a role. The new page should be easier to sign up to, and easier to navigate so that we can reach you when you're needed! Translations are of both full articles and shorter articles continues. The process where short articles are chosen for translation hasn't been fully transparent. In the coming months we hope to have a first guide, so that anyone who writes medical or health articles knows how to get their articles to a standard where they can be translated! That's why we're currently working on medical good lede criteria! The idea is to have a similar peer review process to good article nominations, but only for ledes. -- CFCF  🍌 (email) 13:09, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of UP Aerospace launches


The article List of UP Aerospace launches has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Content has been moved to the main UP Aerospace page. Deletion will consolidate pages and prevent stubs."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

''' This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. ''' Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:00, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
