Thanks so much Pmaas for your very nice additions to the article on this freshwater snail. If you are have an interest in gastropods of any kind, I might invite you to join WikiProject Gastropods...? Best wishes, [[User:Invertzoo|Invertzoo]] ([[User talk:Invertzoo|talk]]) 17:29, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

== Rituele slacht ==

Hoi Pmaas,<br />
Je bent wat te vlug geweest met je bewerkingen in het artikel [[legal aspects of ritual slaughter]]. Je stelt namelijk herhaaldelijk dat Nederland een verbod ''heeft'' op rituele slacht, terwijl het voorstel nog niet eens door de Eerste Kamer is en zelfs daarna niet per direct in werking zal treden. Iniatiefneemster Marianne Thieme stelde vandaag zelf: ''''En als ik dan heel optimistisch reken dan kan het voorstel vanaf 2012-2013 in werking treden"'' ([http://www.nu.nl/politiek/2551424/tweede-kamer-stemt-verbod-rituele-slacht.html bron]). Ik heb de bewoording in het artikel derhalve aangepast. - [[User:TaalVerbeteraar|TaalVerbeteraar]] ([[User talk:TaalVerbeteraar|talk]]) 23:36, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* Daar heb je gelijk in. Niet gedacht aan de eerste kamer. Bedankt voor het aanpassen. [[User:Pmaas|Peter Maas]]\<sup>[[User_talk:Pmaas|talk]]</sup> 08:26, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

==Invitation to help assess [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Gastropods]]==
Hi. I am inviting members of some WikiProjects to take part in evaluating their projects in order to help the Wikimedia Foundation better understand such projects from the inside, to encourage reflection on best practices, and to compile a list of best practices as recommended by a number of projects. I am contacting you because you are listed as an active member of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Gastropods]]. Having witnessed that project's work in the past in my volunteer capacity, I'd very much like to include it. I hope that you will have time and interest in participating. As much or as little as you would like to supply would be gratefully received. The assessment questions are posted at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Gastropods/Self-assessment]]. I will myself steer clear of the page until after any discussion seems to have become dormant, at which point I will ask questions to make sure that I am developing a good overview of opinions. Thanks. --[[User:Mdennis (WMF)|Maggie Dennis (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Mdennis (WMF)|talk]]) 13:02, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

|Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the [[Wikipedia talk:GLAM/SIA|Smithsonian Institution Archives]] until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate [[Wikipedia:GLAM/SIA/Participants|here]] and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our [[Wikipedia:GLAM/SIA/Outcomes/Todo|to-do list]]. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the [[Wikipedia:GLAM/SIA/Requests|request page]], and of course, if you share your successes at the [[Wikipedia:GLAM/SIA/Outcomes|outcomes]] page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! [[User:SarahStierch|Sarah]] ([[User talk:SarahStierch|talk]]) 20:15, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

|Hi '''{{ {{{|safesubst:}}}ROOTPAGENAME}}'''! I'm the Wikipedian In Residence at the [[World Digital Library]], a project of the [[Library of Congress]] and [[UNESCO]]. I'm recruiting Wikipedians who are passionate about history & culture to participate in improving Wikipedia using the WDL's vast free online resources. Participants can earn our awesome WDL barnstar and help to disseminate free knowledge from over 100 libraries in 7 different languages. Multilingual editing encouraged!!! But being multilingual is not a necessity to make this project a success. Please sign up to participate [[Wikipedia:GLAM/WDL/Participants|here]]. Thanks for editing Wikipedia and I look forward to working with you! [[User:SarahStierch|SarahStierch]] ([[User talk:SarahStierch|talk]]) 18:49, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

== Europe 10,000 Challenge invite ==

Hi. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge]] has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland [[Wikipedia: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 Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia 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. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon]], sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
