Italian soda is not French in any way. Heck, it doesn't even taste like it could have French culture in it, either.

Dear member of WikiProject Malta,
I'd like to invite you to participate in an ongoing Article for Deletion debate about [[St John's Square]] in the capital of Malta. We'd like your input about whether the article should stay and go (and if you want to expand the stub, that would be great too!)

== WikiProject Europe Proposal ==

Hi, I see you're a member of the European Microstates project. I was wondering if you would be interested in participating in a new "WikiProject:Europe"? It would cover non-EU pan European elements and more national elements where there isn't a project to cover it (e.g. there is no project for Slovenia). Microstates might also want to become a taskforce of the project to keep down overheads etc as there are just a few members. I am just trying to get an idea of numbers before I propose it but if you have comments on the idea please see the [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_European_Union#Thought_in_European_Wikiprojects|Discussion on WPEU]].

Hi! I'm happy that you like my idea. I tell you that i don't speak english very well and so please forgive my mistakes.
Well .. for the earlier games it's not easy to find the results and the winners, but I remember that I have found a website with the athletics (and probably swimming) winners and records. We have to look for that.
Another thing.. unfortunately you have to do the most of the work .. i'm not very expert in en.wiki and I can only give you an help. 
But I can translate our work in it.wiki and you can do the same from it.wiki (i remember you this category [[it:Categoria:Giochi dei Piccoli Stati d'Europa]]).

== FL Main page proposal ==

You nominated a current [[WP:FLC]].  As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting.  We now have over 400 [[WP:FL|featured lists]] and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September).  When [[WP:TFA|Today's featured article]] (TFA) started ([[2004-02-22]]), they only had about 200 [[WP:FA|featured articles]] and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month.  I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of [[WP:FA|featured articles]] was when they started appearing on the [[main page]].  Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting [[November 1]] [[2007]], voting starting [[December 1]] [[2007]] and main page appearances starting [[January 1]] [[2008]].  For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual [[main page]] will resemble either an [[Wikipedia:Today%27s_featured_list/Sample|excerpted list format]] or an [[ Wikipedia:Today%27s_featured_list/Sample2|abbreviated text format]].  The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries.  However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor [[WP:POTD|Picture of the day]] started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge.  Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at [[WP:TFA]] or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at [[WP:POTD]].  See the List of the Day proposal and comment at [[WP:LOTDP]] and its talk page.--[[User:TonyTheTiger|TonyTheTiger]] <small>([[User talk:TonyTheTiger|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/TonyTheTiger|c]]/[[User:TonyTheTiger/Antonio Vernon|bio]]/[[ User:TonyTheTiger/WPChiDirector |tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM]]) </small> 16:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

== [[Image:Flag of France.svg|45px]] WikiProject Newsletter n°1 ==
'''Bonjour and welcome to the first WikiProject France newsletter!!''' It should become a monthly special of our project, but until the next issue, here are some points to consider for the month:
* In an effort to determine the active [[Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Members|members]] from the inactive, all members are asked to simply sign [[User:ChrisDHDR/FR/members|on my special userpage]].
* I have slightly [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AWikiProject_France&diff=169859879&oldid=167473643 rearranged and updated] the Project page, putting all the featured lists in collapsible tables. This unclutteres the page and you only have to see them if you want to.  Give your feelings at the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject France|talk page]].
* I have made a [[WP:BANNER|Wikipedia advert]] for our project, [[:Image:Qxz-ad108.gif]], what do you think? Personally I feel the words need improving ...
* There are still [[Template_talk:French_commune#Recent_edits|map problems]] at [[Template:French commune]] - any help at resolving them would be greatly appreciated.
* What about starting a monthly drive? We currently have no Featured Portals (except for the Basque Portal which really isn't French any way), so how about improving [[Portal:France]]??? I don't know what's exactly wrong but the criteria can be seen at [[Wikipedia:Featured portal criteria]].

It doesn't seem like a lot, so I hope we will still have enough problems for nexts months issue. ''Salut'' till the next issue, [[User:ChrisDHDR|<span style="font-variant: small-caps">Chris</span>]][[User_talk:ChrisDHDR|DHDR]] (17:18, 10 November 2007 (UTC)).

== Thanks ==
Thanks for the advise. Actually I usually tag articles asking for citation. But, most of the time, active authors working on those articles do not care much. Interestingly when I tagged them for AfD by twisting (but not breaking) the policy mentioning that those articles don't have enough (sometime not a single) citation, they took it really seriously. To be very honest, my intention was to improve quality of Wikipedia, not to attack some particular article or author. And, I do also agree that this is actually misuse of policy. So here goes a promise, I won't do this in future. Cheers. -- [[User:Niaz|<span style="color:Green; font-family:'tahoma';">Niaz</span>]][[User_talk:Niaz|<font color="red"><sup>(Talk •</sup></font>]][[Special:Contributions/Niaz|<span style="color:red;"><sup> Contribs)</sup></span>]] 18:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Karin Lowachee]]==
This AFD was archived before I could reply. I agree that AFD is for deciding whether a n article should be kept, rather than a tool for improvement, but many times I have added refs as a result of seeing an article at AFD which improved it so that it was a far better article than when it was nominated. Thus it is a frequent side effect of AFD nomination. I have also tagged many articles as unreferenced. I did this to a number of articles a year ago, and reviewing them, I see many now have references. I don't know if the references resulted from someone moinitoring the list of articles tagged as unreferenced, or if it would have happened anyway. In a few puzzling cases, someone added references, but left the "unreferenced" tag. Some languish with no refs other than hyperlinks to other Wikipedia articles, such as [[He Shi Bi]] and [[Thermal optimum]]. Some had the "unreferenced" tag removed without any reference being added [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Olivia_Barber_Winters&diff=102087934&oldid=99408122]. I "re-tagged" the latter article. [[User:Edison|Edison]] ([[User talk:Edison|talk]]) 01:03, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

== Thanks for your help ==

Thanks for your help so far of the [[Aoife Hoey (bobsleigh)]] article. I really appreciate it. [[User:Miller17CU94|Chris]] ([[User talk:Miller17CU94|talk]]) 16:46, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
:I will not argue with you on that though have they ever deleted an article proposed by an anonymous IP before? If that happens, then Wikipedia as a project unto itself will have lost all order. [[User:Miller17CU94|Chris]] ([[User talk:Miller17CU94|talk]]) 22:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
::I noticed that last week and I sent it to [[WP:AN/I]] though I got a luke warm response. Ditto with the abusive ISPs. They can only act on the ISPs when one of them has been blocked a minimum of ''five'' times. [[User:Miller17CU94|Chris]] ([[User talk:Miller17CU94|talk]]) 23:51, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
:::I have exposed the links in Hoey and in another female Irish triple jumper earlier tonight. Whoever is doing it seems to be pretty focused on their deletions and almost nonsensical in their efforts. [[User:Miller17CU94|Chris]] ([[User talk:Miller17CU94|talk]]) 04:02, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
::::It looks as if I have ticked this user off with him coming back with the accusations on the editing though the IP evidence is beginning to prove my point. I have a strange feeling there will be repercussions on this that we have forseen. [[User:Miller17CU94|Chris]] ([[User talk:Miller17CU94|talk]]) 14:09, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::I have also sent heads up to other users who are involved in the fight to keep [[Sharon Foley]] that we have the Dublin connection involved on this. One of them though is an administrator, so let's see how that plays out. [[User:Miller17CU94|Chris]] ([[User talk:Miller17CU94|talk]]) 16:33, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::The [[Aoife Hoey]] article (formerly [[Aoife Hoey (bobsleigh)]]) was kept. I have sent a message with an administrator involved in the [[Sharon Foley]] article about this user (or users) from Dublin, Ireland to keep an eye out for this user because we may have won this battle, but this promises to be a long fight, IMO. [[User:Miller17CU94|Chris]] ([[User talk:Miller17CU94|talk]]) 15:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::::The same user from Dublin tried to get both the Hoey and the Foley articles through deletion review after he lost, but he was turned down. We have a real vandal on our hands, IMO. [[User:Miller17CU94|Chris]] ([[User talk:Miller17CU94|talk]]) 15:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

*I am hitting this user with vandalism level 3 warnings on all of the Dublin, Ireland IPs as a warnings of taking no prisoners. This is going to be a long fight I fear. [[User:Miller17CU94|Chris]] ([[User talk:Miller17CU94|talk]]) 16:17, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
:It turns out he has also hit on the [[Alex Higgins]] article who was an Irish [[snooker]] player in the early 1990s. The main editor of that article is aware of this as well. The Dublin user is definitely POVing and vandalism. We have three or four administrators watching several of these article to see if this user(s) stirkes again which I suspect he might.

== [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Martiniano Ferreira Botelho]] ==

Dear Matt,

I red your message on the uppon mentionned page. I am sceptic about this article, because I searched for the titles and ISBN mentionned in the [[OCLC]] database and found nothing, please, have a look at [http://www.worldcat.org/search?q=isbn%3A9729813701&qt=advanced ISBN 9729813701]. I tried on Google books as well with [http://books.google.com/books?client=firefox-a&um=1&spell=1&hl=fr&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=%22Martiniano+Ferreira+Botelho%22&btnG=Chercher+des+livres "Martiniano Ferreira Botelho"], but nothing. The only references about this person on the Internet are Wikipedia. If you can find any reliable reference about this person, please do not hesitate to let me know or add it directly in the article. Best regards. [[User:SalomonCeb|SalomonCeb]] ([[User talk:SalomonCeb|talk]]) 01:16, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
:Thank you for your answer. No problem, I have myself the same reaction when someone ask for deletion of an article which is present on others WP. In this case, I studied more carefuly the only reference that was first given but I found nothing. Since the other references were given, I did same and nothing again. My last search was on Google and there, I found the only occurences were WP and blogs and websites of the article's writer. I am not a suppressionnist myself, but in this case, I do an exception. Best regards. [[User:SalomonCeb|SalomonCeb]] ([[User talk:SalomonCeb|talk]]) 08:30, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

== Jeremy Stenberg ==

The original article which was created last year was not very good and one could argue about how notable Stenberg is.  However, the reason that the article has been speedy deleted twice due to vandalism.  The version that I deleted read simply "has tourette's".  Now, a conscientious admin might have checked the earlier versions to see if there was a legitimate article behind the vandalism.  Apparently, I either didn't check or was underwhelmed by the non-vandalized original page.  You could make a case for restoring the original page but it was pretty awful and it would be better to write a real article instead of fighting to restore the old page.

Just because the article was deleted doesn't mean you are prohibited from creating a new one as long as the new article meets Wikipedia standards and is incompliance with Wikipedia policies.

I have restored the original article to [[User:Matt91486/Jeremy Stenberg]].  Please improve it and then move it into article namespace.

Happy editing,

==Notability==
I saw your question on No57s talkpage. The main reason the criteria have been deemed no good is that edirors went to [[Wikipedia:Deletion review]] en masse citing the new criteria as the reason that their conference player should be undeleted, clogging the system, Deletion Review needed that to stop (obviously) so they undermined the criteria. I have basically given up, I hoped for a set of simple, coherent criteria by consensus, applicable to world football, believing that it would be better than Anglo-centric notability by precedent with reference to one sentence on [[WP:BIO]], but it's been shot down. I think I'll just go back to creating articles, Wikipedia policy is obviously set in stone.

==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Andorra2005logo.jpg==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Andorra2005logo.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]] carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it may be deleted within a couple of days according to our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/media|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]].

==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Alotroladoposter.jpg}==
Thank you for uploading '''[[:Image:Alotroladoposter.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]]. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|explanation]] linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page.  Can you please check:
:* That there is a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|non-free use rationale]] on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
:* That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free|image copyright tag]]; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/media|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.

I just really want to be clear on one thing.  At its current state ShepBot will be adding over 340,000 articles to your project's worklist.  Now that's fine by me, but that's a huge step for a project.  Right now I'll just do those few categories you gave me on my talkpage.  But when this is over, you guys are going to be one giant project.  Of course that 340,000 is if all of those categories I gave you guys fall under your project.  There's an exteremly slim chance of that, but I guess it could happen.  When page 1 of those cats is double checked let me know and we'll start those as well.

Sorry I'm just getting back to you concerning the post you sent me on the 1st. I was away on a family vacation the last ten days camping in New Hampshire. As far as the Ohio HS Conferences, I am in no rush to re-list the 27 articles I recommended for deletion. I think you are doing a great job, so personally you guys can have the summer to continue to keep the progress going. Therefore, it's probably premature for me to lay out a plan for the next AfD. Unfortunately for your sake most of the people who wanted these articles to stay and expanded of the discussion seem to have disappeared. Hopefully you'll get help from those especially interested in the subject matter and then we don't need to think about another AfD.

==WP:FOOTY discussion==
Hi Matt,
not to sound annoying or anything, but I've recently started a discussion regarding the names of Brazilian clubs on wikipedia ([[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#Brazilian clubs|here]]) and considering the scale and importance of the clubs involved and the fact that there is no formal move request, I thought it might be a good idea to inform some of the regular [[WP:FOOTY]] contributors in order to get a consensus and not just a few opinions. So if you could take a second to express your opinion, it would be appreciated, cheers. <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:BanRay|<span style="color:#fef;background:black;">'''Ban'''</span>]][[User:BanRay|<span style="color:#000000;background:white;">'''Ray'''</span>]]</span></small> 22:25, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

== Changing the names of the Maltese village articles ==

There is currently an ongoing debate about whether the articles on Maltese villages should be given their English names. [[User:Kyarichy|Kyarichy]] has already gone and renamed a bunch of articles such as as [[Calcara|Kalkara]] citing these changes from [http://www.jstor.org/pss/1787509 an old obsolete paper] and http://www.geody.com, even though these names are no longer in use.

The naming conventions clearly state that foreign location names commonly used in English should be used as the article names.

It would be appreciated if you could assist us in this discussion. ~ ''' <span style="color: #427D42">&#9658; W</span><span style="color: #498B49">y</span><span style="color: #519951">k</span><span style="color: #58A758">e</span><span style="color: #74B674">b</span><span style="color: #82BD82">j</span><span style="color: #8FC58F">s &#9668;</span>'''  <small>([[User:Wykebjs|userpage]] | [[User talk:Wykebjs|talk]])</small> 11:00, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

== Deaths in 200x pages ==

* Hello... there is an (admittedly fairly recent) consensus on the pages that the listings will be as inclusive as possible (sticking to the usual guidelines of [[WP:V|verifiability]] and still not listing obviously n.n. folk like beloved grandmas, etc.) at the time of the deaths, and the redlinks for people with articles still not written would be removed after one month of their not having an article. It generally works as an incentive for people to actually create the articles they think should exist: i did one on [[Danny Moss]] because i thought he deserved to be on the list too, for instance. i think you should be able to find discussion on the matter on the last few months' talk pages.

Hello there, well the Chivas-America is a long-standing rivalry, in Mexico is traditional to have this polls (yearly), last year America was the most "loved" followed by Chivas, but usually America is also the most "hated".

== [[Brazil–Japan relations]] ==

You removed my proposed deletion of the article [[Brazil–Japan relations]], stating that the topic being valid is enough criteria for any article to exist.  It is my opinion that the article would even meet the criteria for speedy deletion under A3, as there is nothing on the page other than links to other articles.  Is there any reason the validity of a topic is enough to justify an article without content?  Perhaps the article would fit better under [[WP:RA]] instead.

== 'Croatian top league' reply ==

Yes, the Prva HNL is a professional and official league system. It is the top tier of Croatian football. The two top clubs, [[Dinamo Zagreb]] and [[Hajduk Split]] have both had history in the Champions League and UEFA Cup throughout recent years; Dinamo has qualified for the UEFA cup once again this year, meaning that the league itself (and all the teams) are officially registered with UEFA as the top professional league of Croatia. Yes it is difficult to find references for such. I have done my broad best, and hopefully [http://www.budgetairlinefootball.co.uk/130901/index.html this] will help you.

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Mike Milligan (basketball coach)]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Mike Milligan (basketball coach)]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]], as well as our subject-specific [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|notability guideline for biographies]]. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard2.0|Article Wizard]]. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Mike Milligan (basketball coach)|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Mike Milligan (basketball coach)|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that they  [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or have a copy emailed to you.<!-- Template:Db-bio-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.3em 0.3em 0.1em; class=texhtml">[[User:Warrior4321|<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#0000FF">'''w'''arrior</span>]][[User_talk:Warrior4321|<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#FF0000">'''4'''321</span>]]</span> 23:21, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

==Milligan==

Milligan's real name is Walter S. Milligan. He went almost exclusively by Mike. He was a guard on some of the legendary [[Pitt football]] teams from 1930-1932 under [[Jock Sutherland]]. He coached freshman at Pitt through 1939 and then took a coaching job at Florida before ending up at Tulsa. At least by 1946 he was back as an assistant at Pitt and then moved into the head coaching position from 1947-1949 (where he had two relatively successful 6-3 seasons). He later went on to become a notable line coach including at USC (1950) and Purdue (1951-?).  He is much better known for his football coaching. The article should actually be moved to [[Mike Milligan (coach)]] or [[Walter Milligan]] (per [[WP:UCN]]) <s>[[Walter S. "Mike" Milligan]] or [[Walter "Mike" Milligan]]</s>.  He was inducted into the Aliquippa Sports Hall of Fame in 1974. He certainly is notable, but the article is currently named for a relatively obscure line on his coaching resume and that should be corrected. [[User:Crazypaco|CrazyPaco]] ([[User talk:Crazypaco|talk]]) 00:58, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
:That's fine for the move. I had no idea he had coached at Tulsa so there is no way I would have thought that was him until you brought it to my attention.

I have seen that you edited some volleyball articles. Some players articles, most of them looks outdated. I would like to improve players by country. Could you please choose a country to contribute with? Please take a look on [[Yekaterina Gamova]], [[Hélia Souza]], [[Serena Ortolani]] and [[Kenia Carcaces]] for a model to follow. Please can you please improve some volleyball players with infobox and some addons? References are very important. Let me know. Oscar987 23:19, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to [[WP:Reviewing|review other users' edits]] on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a [[WP:Pending changes|two-month trial]] at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not [[wp:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]] to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection 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. 

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious [[WP:VAND|vandalism]] or [[WP:BLP|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 [[WP:Pending changes|here]].

== Re: Timberwolves ==

Hello Matt91486:

I'm not opposed to adding in "nationality" or "club" back into the list, and I'm open to discussion on that front. I think that the "jersey number" column didn't really add anything to the list however. As for the stats, I don't think it would be that hard to update since I would only be adding new players to the list a few times during the course of the season, and I'd be updating about 20 players stats at the end of the season. [[User:Albacore|Albacore]] ([[User talk:Albacore|talk]]) 17:48, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

:I assume that there is not a standardization for this list since a reviewer at [[Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Minnesota Timberwolves all-time roster (A–K)/archive1]] asked me to start a discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Basketball Association]] about these types of lists, which I have. As for the rebounds, I think they show the defensive value of a player, as the points show the offensive value. I previewed what the list would look like if I added both, and I can add both nationality and the club, but nothing else (on my viewing monitor I have to scroll to the right to see everything after "Reb" on the [[Charlotte Bobcats all-time roster]] list).

Okay its been a while since the Wikipedia Minnesota User Group has meet. Since the last time we meet there has been social upheaval, plague, etc... - no small thing to be sure. There has been some [[Wikipedia_talk:Meetup/Minnesota|sad lonely discussions on]] the Minnesota Meetup page on getting together but little action. So here it is. Come and be seen. Talk about the future of the Minnesota User Group and see what nefarious plans we can hatch.
