== May Pen ==

Hi! This is a long shot, but I wonder if you can help. 15 years ago you made [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Clarendon_Parish,_Jamaica&diff=23778184&oldid=22136050 this edit] that stated that [[May Pen]] was established as a plantation settlement by the British between 1660 and 1683. Do you have any recollection of the source you used for that? On [[Talk:May Pen]] we're trying to determine whether it was a [[pen (Jamaican cattle farm)]] before it was named after Rev. William May who was there in the 1700s. &nbsp;—[[User:Smalljim|S<small>MALL</small>]][[User talk:Smalljim#top|<small>JIM</small>]]&nbsp; 13:30, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
:Hi, User:Smalljim! I can't remember the source that I used (also can't believe it's been 15 years! lol). But I did a quick Google search and was able to find [https://www.worldurbancampaign.org/sites/default/files/jamaica_may_pen_urban_profile.pdf this article (pg 6)]. Not sure of the origin of the name "May Pen" per se, but the article mentions the establishment of a plantation settlement by the British in the 1600s. Hope this helps. I'll keep looking and let you know if I find anything else. Cheers! [[User:Journalist|Journalist]] . [[User talk:Journalist|talk]] 23:10, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
::Thanks for your help, that's great! There's one niggle - since that document was published in 2012 and it uses the exact same words that were in our article at the time (and the words around it are similar too) one has to consider whether the UN copied the text from Wikipedia. Would they do that, I wonder? It's surprising where our words can turn up! I tried the internet archive wayback machine to see if they'd stored an earlier version of the document, but no luck. Best, &nbsp;—[[User:Smalljim|S<small>MALL</small>]][[User talk:Smalljim#top|<small>JIM</small>]]&nbsp; 23:56, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
::Yes, it's possible that they may have gotten it from Wikipedia. Never thought of that! I'm sure I found it somewhere, so I'll keep looking and let you know if/when I find anything. [[User:Journalist|Journalist]] . [[User talk:Journalist|talk]] 04:03, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited [[Laureus World Sports Award for Sportswoman of the Year]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Athletics]]<!-- ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Laureus_World_Sports_Award_for_Sportswoman_of_the_Year check to confirm]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Laureus_World_Sports_Award_for_Sportswoman_of_the_Year?client=notify fix with Dab solver])-->.

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/962595?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Research|WMF Research Team]]
