== Argentine politicians proliferation ==

Wow, that's a lot of work! Congratulations! I wanted to ask you were did you find the United Nations comment on [[Vicente López Partido]]. Thanks and good wiking! [[User:Marianocecowski|Mariano]]<small>([[User talk:Marianocecowski|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Marianocecowski|c]])</small> 14:19, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks. The info in question was from the ARI page which I have now added as a citation. I cannot find a better reference on UN or Vicente López sites, so perhaps it is best taken off entirely, as ARI is not exactly a useful source for this particular info. I know the UN does issue these awards as Porto Alegre is often cited as the UN's favourite municipality worldwide, but not sure which institution does it.

:It would be a useful project for someone to complete a list of current members of Congress and perhaps those elected at each election, as there needs to be a stub for each of them. But not sure if it would be anyone's priority. Once I have created a stub for Patti, I'll go back to the 1816 Congresales who don't keep changing jobs and parties.

== [[Caroline Benn]] ==
I see that you added to the above article the information that the Benns met over tea at Worcester College, Oxford.  Then someone added her to the "former students of Worc Coll" Category, and I am about to reverse that (because Worcester certainly didn't take female students in 1949).  I know that Tony B wasn't at Worcester, so I presume that they met in the rooms of some mutual friend - unless, perhaps, she taught at Worcester in some capacity.  Or it could just be an error, not necessarily yours, of course. Do you know any more detail about their meeting?  --[[User:GuillaumeTell|GuillaumeTell]] 15:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Nothing too fancy, but I thought you deserved this, and I'm sure all the Argentine editors would agree. 

You can do whatever you want with this barnstar: display it in your userpage, edit the text, or hide it somewhere. :) Keep up the good work! —[[User:Pablo-flores|Pablo D. Flores]] <span style="font-size: 80%">([[User talk:Pablo-flores|Talk]])</span> 11:29, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you!! [[User:Mtiedemann|Mtiedemann]] 11:30, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

:I totally agree! Hey, one little thingy, which article,  [[Argentine Declaration of Independence]] or [[Congress of Tucumán]], should have the list of signatories/members? Take care!

::Thanks! At the moment they both have it - is there anything wrong with that? I don't have access to information on the compostion such as whether there were changes in composition or whether there were delegates elected who did not attend. That would be better information for the Congress article whereas the declaration article is about one aspect of its work. Unbelievably the only book on the House that they sell there in its bookshop (at least in June) did not have information about the members, but I'll keep looking.

== En español ==

No sé hablar inglés. Aún así creo saber a lo que se refiere: el País Vasco es una comunidad autónoma de España. Eso es lo oficial y lo real. El territorio histórico del País Vasco ya tiene su artículo separado. Cuando alguien se refiere al País Vasco lo hace a la autonomía (p.e.: Bilbao está en el País Vasco).

Ninguna comunidad autónoma española tiene una "selección nacional de fútbol", y llamarla así es vandalismo.

== Past comment ==

Hi there Mtiedemann! - Thanks for the comment that you left on my talk page, I really appreciate it. One of the reasons of why I was not adding my new works in the ARNB, was because I had the thought that I was going to cause some kind of 'clutter'. In a way they didn't seem as important as the articles listed there which are related to either politics, geography, bios, etc... As you said, it's also a good way of promoting certain topics, maybe some others will contribute as well expanding the films or other kind of entertainment types. And hey, although politics and history is not my thing, for the rest is important. See ya around. [[User:CROWDUDE|CROWDUDE]] 12:14, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

== Bill Hamling ==
Thanks for updating [[William Hamling]]. Glad to see someone else knows of him. [[User:Nunquam Dormio|Nunquam Dormio]] 17:11, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

== Thanks for expanding all those MP articles ==
Hi Mtiedemann.  I just wanted to thank you for your feedback and for expanding/cleaning all those British MP articles I created - I noticed you were doing that a few days ago.  I've not been a Wikipedian for very long and it's helpful to be given advice by an expert such as yourself.  I'm generally working backwards from the 1992 election for MPs without articles, and I have copies of the Times Guide to the House of Commons going back from 2005 to October 1974 so far.  I use the MPs elected in the UK general election "year" articles to see if the individual MPs have articles or not, then create them if they're highlighted in red instead of blue. --[[User:Dovea|Dovea]] 19:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
== Idris Owen ==
This is what the Times Guide to the House of Commons October 1974 says about Mr Idris Owen: held the seat (Stockport North) for the Conservatives from 1970 to February 1974. Contested it in 1966, Stalybridge and Hyde 1955 and Manchester Exchange 1951. Company director in the construction industry. B 1912; ed Stockport School and College of Technology and Manchester School of Commerce.  Fellow, Institute of Builders.  Vice-president, National Federation of Building Trades Employers, 1965.  Vice-chairman, Conservative parliamentary housing and construction commitee 1972-1974.

As for the Labour and Co-operative Party MPs, I only found them as noted on the articles listing all the MPs elected at each general election, eg. [[MPs elected in the United Kingdom general election, 1992]].  I hope this info is helpful, it's the least I can do after you expanded all those articles. Regards, --[[User:Dovea|Dovea]] 11:21, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

==Council AFDs==
I saw your note about the AFDs on [[User_talk:Timrollpickering#Councillors_for_AfD]]. If you've added the notability tags and nothing has happened, you could use {{tl|prod}} rather than taking it to AFD: after all, if nobody is interested in the article it is likely to be an uncontroversial delete, and is better than listing lots of almost identical AFDs.

==Mayors of Colchester==
Surely the object of Wikipedia is to add & expand information, not to delete it? 
[[User:Davidbober|Davidbober]] 14:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

:I believe that Wikipedia has a role to catalogue info on local government and have created the hierarchy for UK councillors and several local government articles because it is important to me. What I don't think we can have is a biography on every councillor (tens of thousands in just the last five years), for whom there is little information which can be independently verifiable from a reliable source, nor would there be very much to say which is encyclopedic anyway. A list of Mayors and a list of councillors elected at each election is sufficient to show name, ward, party, year - all that is really relevant.

:I am sorry of your hard work goes in the process - it's happened to me too. [[User:Mtiedemann|Martín]] <small>([[User talk:Mtiedemann|saying]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mtiedemann|doing]])</small> 14:15, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

== British female MPs category for discussion err discussion ==

Hi there.  As someone who had commented earlier today at [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_August_2#Category:British female MPs|CFD for British female MPs]], I wanted to inform you that there was a later nomination in the day regarding the same related categories and I wanted to make sure that you had the opportunity to view the newly refactored discussion.  Both original nominations and their discussions are preserved.  We can try to sort out the best decision regarding these categories if you choose not to clarify, but I'd appreciate it if you could.  Thanks very much for your understanding. [[User:Syrthiss|Syrthiss]] 22:08, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Martín, nice to meet you or ''un gusto'' (because it's the first time we talk, <CODE>:-)</CODE>). Congratulations for your great edits at WIkipedia. About the template, I like it; about the tagging, it was me making some mistakes under thinking for a right one; about La Paternal (my neighbourhood!!!), I considered it as <CODE>low importance</CODE> because 1) if a capital city must be of <CODE>high importance</CODE>, 2) a tourist zone (like Palermo) must be of <CODE>mid/high importance</CODE>, 3) other neighbourhoods must be of <CODE>mid/low importance</CODE>, but I think it's wrong; about <CODE>GA</CODE> or <CODE>A-Class</CODE>, other mistake by myself.

== Basque Country ==

Hi Mtiedemann, I saw that Basque Country needed disambiguation at [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/2006-07-17 dump]], and took up the task.  I was not totally familiar with the issue so I did quite a lot of reading, and looked at the history of the pages to understand what the issues were with it.  I'm still not totally confident that I'm always making the right dab, but the disambiguation has to be done.  For example, there are many times that I would like to refer to a region that Basque people live in currently (but that is not totally congruent with the Autonomous region of Spain, or the historical territory) and so it makes it difficult. -- [[User:Jeff3000|Jeff3000]] 13:58, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
:Another problem is that the [[Basque Country (autonomous community)]] page's history section does not give a good history from around the 16th century where the Basque community was divided as part of Spain and France, but basically functioned as an autonomous regions in both countries.  Instead the history mainly starts after Franco. -- [[User:Jeff3000|Jeff3000]] 15:17, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

::Well I won't claim to be an expert but it's really complicated! Part of the controversy is about a Basque sense of identity and nationhood itself. Modern Basque nationalists like to draw parallels with ancient traditions and the [[Kingdom of Navarre]]. Other presumably 'pro-Madrid' editors have taken pains to mention, even where not really relevant, that the symbols of Basque nationhood and the words used to describe Basque institutions were largely invented by Arana in the early 20th century, and there is perhaps a truth to the fact that Basques were more interested in local power and language, than race and nationhood and geography. Naturally it is much more complicated than either extreme and, more relevant to my own original point, much of land-owning, Catholic and conservative Navarre and Álava were often at odds with mountainous and outward-facing Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia. So they were largely on different sides in the 19th century Carlist wars and again in the Civil War. Navarre is very polarised to this day. So I think it's rather hard to attempt a history of the southern Basque Country over that period without straying into even more controversial areas. For the Northern Basque Country, the major incident was the French Revolution where regional identity was suppressed. The provinces' autonomy and fueros were ended at that time.

== Basque Country ==

The Basque Country is only an autonomous community. Navarre is not Basque, and France less. To say that Euskal Herria exists belongs to fools. To say that Euskal Herria is a nationality belongs to ignoramuses. To give more importance to not official instead of to the official thing is intolerable. The things must be oficialiting. Is it Scotland a nation? Is Alsace a German territory? I am very tiring of lies and falsehoods. [[User:Satesclop|'''''Satesclop''''']] 13:20, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Martin, I see that we now have two categories for [[Liberal Unionist Party|Liberal Unionist  politicians]]s.

* {{cl|UK Liberal Unionist politicians}}, which you created in April

:Hi and thanks for the heads-up. I am a bit out of it at the moment but my initial thought is that I created it without 'Party' to encompass that time when it couldn't really be called a Party, but probably most of those became formal Liberal Unionists, so it's a moot point.

Los invito a participar de [http://argentinidad.wikia.com Argentinidad], un proyecto wiki que usa el mismo software que wikipedia, y por ende funciona exactamente igual. Es una wikipedia de la argentina con un punto de vista [http://argentinidad.wikia.com/wiki/Argentinidad:Punto_de_vista_argentino patriótico-nacional].

Aquí se podrán crear artículos sobre la cultura, geografía, economía, historia, gente y demás de la Argentina, con la condición de que el punto de vista NO sea neutral, sino argentino . Este no es un lugar para la militancia política o social, sólo para escribir y "hacer algo". Para eso estamos, para los que nos cansamos de que insulten al País y ver como el mundo de nosotros ríe. Siempre se dijo, "hay que hacer algo" pero nadie lo hizo. Es dificil hacer algo, nadie por sí solo va a levantarse un día y transformar a la Patria en una potencia mundial, o expulsar a los ingleses de las Malvinas, pero no por eso se va a "hacer nada".
Espero que te unas al proyecto, cordialmente

== re: [[:Category:Date of birth missing]] ==

Good afternoon. Per the discussion about privacy concerns expressed at [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of birthdays]], date of birth should generally not be added to the biographies of living non-public or semi-public figures. So far, that policy has been interpreted fairly strictly with a pretty high bar being set for the definition of "public figures" who are assumed to have given up their rights to privacy.

By the same token, we should not be adding [[:Category:Date of birth missing]] to articles unless we have made the case that the person meets the "public figures" threshold. Otherwise, we're just baiting new users into adding content even though the community has already said that we shouldn't include that particular data point. [[:Category:Year of birth missing]] is okay but the exact date is often not. Thanks for your help.  [[User:Rossami|Rossami]] <small>[[User talk:Rossami|(talk)]]</small> 21:35, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

== Deletion ==

Hi Martin, just a quick note to say that I deleted a redirect you created yesterday.

It was [[Thomas Henderson (Scotland)]], redirecting to [[Thomas Henderson (Labour politician)]]. I changed all the links to bypass the redirects, and then deleted [[Thomas Henderson (Scotland)]] because there are two Scottish politicians of similar era called Thomas Henderson: the other is [[Thomas Henderson (1874-1951)]] (see [[Thomas Henderson]] for the full list).

== Picture Changes ==

Hi. Now it's something that Wikipedia stresses over and over again and even I get bored of it but if it's possiable to upload your pictures onto Wikimedia Commons that would be brilliant. All images on wikipedia should be from wiki commons but quite a few get through. I've not "deleted" the images that you added but i've re-done 2 (including the Fairfield Halls one [eg.[[:image:FairfeildHalls.jpg]] has now changed to [[:image:FairfieldHalls2.jpg]] so on]). Thank you for reading and if you have any questions involving Wikimedia Commons just ask me.

==[[Tren de la Costa]]==
Hey Mtiedemann, how you doing, here  Moebiusuibeom-en, author and "refiner" of several articles in wikipedia.

I have a question about the last phrase in the [[Tren de la Costa]] article, do we have to be so specific about the line being "not been wholly successful", I believe we should water down a bit this part cause it's not really giving the right message, first of all, the line has not been "wholly successful" TO WHOM, the original 100,000 journeys each weekend is really astronomical for a Light Rail line,  entering heavy metro numbers here, (''see [[The Little Engine that Could|Thomas the Tank Engine]]'') while the drop to 150,000 a month truly "is not wholly successful", but for a light rail line the numbers are not all that bad, daily ridership comes out to 5.357 which is low but according to rail standards, anything 5.000 or above is what you need for a system of this kind to be operable, yes, almost in the border line, but are those numbers correct, been there several times in the last year and found it to be filled-up on Thursday and Saturdays @ all hours, with the cafes down the line also filled up, furthermore, an excess of empty shops may just be the case of an excess of shops in the area!

I know the private operators / private investors may have financial problems and wanting a bailout, but this may just also be greed, Nevertheless, here is my wording suggestion:

''The line has not been wholly successful and has seen a large drop in passenger numbers since its opening. In 1995 there were around 100,000 journeys each weekend, but by 2005 there were just 150,000 a month, a third of which are foreign tourists, however, the the current economic upswing may well reverse this trend.''

+ include ''Clarin's'' article link.  

Hope you agree, let me know your thoughts!  Cheers - [[User:Moebiusuibeom-en|Moebiusuibeom-en]] ([[User talk:Moebiusuibeom-en|talk]]) 14:24, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

== Architecture of Croydon ==
Can I ask you why you put a cleanup notice on the top of this article please, aswell as a neutrality of a section, future developments please. Thank You from [[User:Pafcool2|Pafcool2]] ([[User talk:Pafcool2|talk]]) 13:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
:Also John Ruskin was raised in South London so therfore is local. And he also wrote alot about architecture which is why I got confused [[User:Pafcool2|Pafcool2]] ([[User talk:Pafcool2|talk]]) 13:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

:::At the time of Ruskin's birth, Croydon was not in London and the concept of South London did not exist. Travel time from his family's homes in Sydenham and Dulwich would have been large. Ruskin himself was embarrassed with his local connections to Croydon. However it is absolutely right to say he had local connections and spent much time in Croydon. His mother was from the town and both his parents are buried in Shirley. Ruskin is a very major figure in the arts, heritage and architecture, with local connections, hence he has been picked for this.

:::I put a POV check on that section because I feel it is written from a perspective that development and retail are good, and reads as an advert. "...some of South London's '''most ambitious''' non-residential schemes in the past ten years" is an example. "'''Improvements''' will see Queen's Gardens completely re-modeled" is another: there have been many voices in Croydon saying that these plans destroy Queen's Gardens and the setting of the Town Hall - that's why there was a major planning inquiry, which could yield sources of support and opposition. The fact is that many of these schemes have not been built, are opposed by sections of Croydon's community and have not demonstrated market support. 

:::Also, I find that the section on Croydon Gateway appears to suggest Stanhope's scheme is an obstacle to be overcome: "'''The problem is''' that Stanhope already owns part of the site..." etc. If you speak to the Warehouse Theatre or those opposed to the Arena, they would say that Stanhope's ownership is the better scenario, not a 'problem'. In any case, this should be presented as rival potential developments with supporters and detractors, and in the context of a site riven with similar disputes over 40 years, hence why nothing ever gets built there... Sorry for not putting this on the page yet, I was going to write something more considered there.

:In the ''News'' of 30 October to 13 November, p.7, there's an article entitled 'Co-ops UK rap for former M&F Co-op' which quotes Pauline Green as saying that the memorandum and articles of M & F Scotland Ltd clearly show the organisation is not a co-operative and, therefore, cannot be members of Co-ops UK. This is because voting is now based on shares held, not OMOV. 65% of the shares are held by one individual and his family. In the letters pages of 27 November to 11 December, Co-ops UK responds to a letter from a (former) M&F member which specifically calls the change 'demutualisation'. Co-ops UK suggested they were still supporting members who fought the demutualisation and would continue to monitor the situation. UK.coop still lists the society as a co-operative however.

::Thanks for chipping in and editing the article so quickly.  Your research implies, but does not say explicitly, that a transfer of undertakings to M & F (Scotland) Ltd has already taken place.  Clearly joint stock companies are allowed in Co-operatives UK if they have constitutions that allow co-operative principles - many employee-owned companies are in this bracket.  However it sounds like M&F has no such special rules!  I would imagine from that letters page that, six months further on, unless there is some behind-the-scenes legal action going on, the demutualisation is a done deal, and we should rewrite the article in the past tense. --[[User:Hro%C3%B0ulf|Hroðulf]] (or Hrothulf) ([[User talk:Hro%C3%B0ulf|Talk]]) 10:31, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

== RE: Architecture of Croydon ==

I understand what you said last time, but what I wrote about [[Ruskin Square]]/[[Croydon Gateway]] is that the reason why the development has been delayed is because there is a '''problem''' between the two different firms. Personally I believe that with The O2 Arena so close the arena is not viable for Croydon and so I actually do support Stanhope's alternative plan. If you ask me maybe the Fairfield Halls should be moved onto the site, as it does need a new building and maybe it could get some better acts with a newer high tech building.

== Fieldway (ward) ==

Why does [[Fieldway (ward)]] return only two councillors to Croydon Council and not three like most other wards in the area? Although I am happy that the BNP don't have a seat in Croydon! [[User:Pafcool2|Pafcool2]] ([[User talk:Pafcool2|talk]]) 12:12, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

:Until 2002 quite a few wards in Croydon were two member wards. Then the Boundary Commission decide that they wanted to make all wards three-member where they could across London. But sometimes to do so would involve pulling areas together that don't fit well. Meanwhile the New Addington estate is getting smaller in terms of electors. It had five councillors but could only justify four. So to make it into two 3-member wards you would have to include areas off the estate. It was easier to make New Addington and Fieldway both 2-member wards. In Bromley there are some wards under 3, in the countryside bits around Orpington.

== Thanks for the recent copy edit ==

You are doing an excellent job in copy editing. I am not an English major (far from it). I do ok with Spanish-English translations and am trying to fill in the gaps of Argentina History and Geography within en.WP as time permits. My grammar is not always the best and can always use some help so I appreciate your assistance as you recently did with [[Pelagio Luna]] and others.

== Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in London ==

'''More information:''' [[Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12]]


Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a [[:Category:Wikipedians in London|Wikipedian in London]], so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly [[Wikipedia:Meetup/London|social meetups]]. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

[[User:Jdforrester|James F.]] ([[User talk:Jdforrester|talk]]) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

==Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice==
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the [[m:Wikimania 2010/Bids/Oxford|Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference]]. Please see [[m:Wikimania 2010/Bids/Oxford#Local team|here]] for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to [[m:Wikimedia UK v2.0|the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page]] and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend [[Wikipedia:Meetup/London 13|the next London meet-up]] at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch [[Wikipedia:Meetup]], for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

==[[Gerald Gardiner, Baron Gardiner]]==

I see that some years ago you edited the article on [[Gerald Gardiner, Baron Gardiner]], adding the postnominal letters KC. I have changed this to QC since he died during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. I think it would be normal to give him his correct designation at the time of his death rather than at the time of his appointment as King's Counsel. However, I thought I ought to bring this to your attention in case you knew of some reason why it was more appropriate to retain the letters KC.--[[User:Oxonian2006|Oxonian2006]] ([[User talk:Oxonian2006|talk]]) 16:30, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oddfellows&diff=next&oldid=272448537 this] edit, please correct me if I'm wrong, (and I probably am wrong), but I thought a "non-profit mutual" was an oxymoron - i.e. I thought the aim of a mutual was to make a profit to "pay dividends" (or provide some other form of return) to their members. The aim of a Friendly Society is to provide services, and find a way to fund that. Your thoughts? Cheers, [[User:Pdfpdf|Pdfpdf]] ([[User talk:Pdfpdf|talk]]) 14:22, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

==London Wikimedia Fundraiser==
Good evening! This is a friendly message from [[User:Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry|Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry]], inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an [[Eigenharp]], a [[mulled wine]] hot tub, a free [[hog roast]], a [[haybale]] [[amphitheatre]] and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - [[User:Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry|Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry]] ([[User talk:Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry|talk]]) 23:31, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

== Wikimedia Stories Project ==

Aloha!

My name is Victor and I work with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. We're chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade new people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who use Wikipedia have so much to share.

I find stories that drive our annual fundraising efforts. It's important to convey the incredible diversity of people who've come to rely upon Wikipedia every day. 

I'd really like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia.

I will be in Buenos Aires from the 10th - 11th of March 2012.

I'm hoping you will elaborate on your story with me. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project!

Thank you,

Victor Grigas

==Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite==
Hi. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎]] has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland [[Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge]]. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like [[Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic)]]. For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content,  a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon]]. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --[[User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;">Ser Amantio di Nicolao</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|''Che dicono a Signa?'']]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Ser Amantio di Nicolao|'''Lo dicono a Signa.''']]</sub> 00:43, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Mtiedemann, I'm trying to reactivate Wikiproject Cooperatives, which has fallen inactive. You once had yourself listed as an active member, are you still interested in this effort? If not, could you go to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Cooperatives/participants|project participant list]] and mark yourself as inactive? If you are interested, please join us in the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cooperatives#Restarting%20this%20Wikiproject%20in%202022|project discussion section]] as we think of how to move the project forward. Thanks! [[User:IohannesChicaginiensis|IohannesChicaginiensis]] ([[User talk:IohannesChicaginiensis|talk]]) 18:19, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
