Last month you listed organizations JDD "participates in." Does she attend their meetings, belong as a member, sit on their boards, or some combination? If she is on their boards, I'd like to add that. If she just attends their meetings, it seems inappropriate to produce such a long list. Acham 05:24, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Dude, many of those groups listed in affiliations aren't even in the reference listed, her bio. For others, the titles weren't correct according to her bio. Please be more accurate, or else delete the whole section. Her bio is referenced, and readers can just go to that if they want to guess how many women's clubs meetings she attends in a quarter.

In your edit summary for your recent edits to the Katherine Hanley article, you quoted her "official biography' as a source for your edits. I was wondering if you could post a link to the biography if available on-line, or at least officially quote the source on the article page. -- TommyBoy ( talk) 02:23, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

In response to the message you posted on my Talk page, I was not trying to raise an objection. Having said that, my concern, based upon applicable Wikipedia polocies and guidelines,was that I had never seen the information you posted prior to the addition of your sources. By the way, thank you for adding the link to her official biography, which appears to be a recent addition to the Virginia Secretary of the Commonwealth's website. I have checked that website multiple times since I created the article waiting for them to post an official biography. Keep up the good work. -- TommyBoy ( talk) 02:26, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 04:46, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
The article history shows that I added 2 bytes, a paragraph break, back in 2008. I don't remember, but the article may have shown up as an active link in another article or I found it in a random search. I personally don't know anything about the topic. By the way, while I assume you intended to send the same message to all editors of the article, your contribution history shows that you singled me out. As a result, I personally find your message a bit authoritative and heavy handed. Good luck, however. WBardwin ( talk) 05:58, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited George Berham Parr, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Richard Daley and Tom Clark ( 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.

Wow, thanks. How did you even know it was on my mind ... ? It was on my Wikiagenda for 2013, so I hope I get to it before the year is done.
Marsh is such a fascinating guy, and his tentacles are everywhere. I've got a stack of LBJ books by Caro, Dallek, et al on my desk, plus several biographies of newspaper publishers and the like who he helped. The fullest treatment of him in any one book may actually be in The Irregulars: Roald Dahl and the British Spy Ring in Wartime Washington by Jennet Conant. Dahl was a regular visitor at Marsh's salons/gatherings, much like Henry Wallace, members of FDR's cabinet, etc. He may have been something of a protege to Marsh.
For some reason, my enthusiasm waned somewhat when I found this article [2] already written which heavily paraphrases the Conant book, making me feel less pressed to get a decent-length article about this man out onto the Interweb. I'll certainly try to get back on it; thank you for the encouragement. Woodshed ( talk) 04:26, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello there,
I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.
First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.
On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.
The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.
There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!
All the best,
James Hare

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article..
Happy May!

Hi, I'm McDoobAU93. Anders.Warga, thanks for creating Myra MacPherson!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. While there is an extensive bibliography and a large number of citations, there's very little content on the author's life. This area could definitely be expanded.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. McDoob AU93 16:12, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
I am pleased to announce our fourth annual picnic, the Great American Wiknic, will take place at Meridian Hill Park in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, July 13 from 1 to 5 PM (rain date: July 20).

If you would like to sign up for the picnic, you can do so here. When signing up, say what you’re going to bring!
July will also feature the second annual Great American Wiknic in Frederick, Maryland. This year’s Frederick picnic will take place on Sunday, July 6 at Baker Park. Sign up here for the Frederick picnic.
What else is going on in July? We have the American Chemical Society Edit-a-Thon on Saturday, July 12, dedicated to notable chemists, and our monthly WikiSalon on Wednesday, July 16.

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.
If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.
When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

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

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rostock, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Prussians and Imperial France. 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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Grini detention camp, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sachsenhausen ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

You made an edit to Duval County, Texas several years ago. That edit is now the subject of a discussion. I see that you provided a reference but the reference is simply Lynch, pp 8-10. As you no doubt know, references should be complete enough so that readers could track down the source, and that reference doesn't meet those standards. Can you tell me more about the source?-- S Philbrick (Talk) 01:53, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
