Precious
"teamwork is the main point of a wiki"
Thank you for quality articles such as William Connolley, 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America and I Like Pumpkins, for beginning Joy to the World, for {{birth date and age}}, for a user page full of thoughts including "teamwork, which - duh! - is the main point of a wiki", for service from the very beginning, - Ed, you are an awesome Wikipedian!
--Gerda Arendt (talk) 00:01, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, I had completely forgotten I Like Pumpkins, but it took me a couple of tries to get William Connolley - my old sparring partner on global warming - everyone wanted to delete him. Screwing up America was fun, because it spawned nearly 100 articles as people tried to fill in the red links. My favorite is birth date and age, because now I can say I wrote software that's been used by a billion people worldwide! --Uncle Ed (talk) 22:54, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- Well, I met William Connolley just recently again when he brought bad news. I use the template a lot! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:01, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

| Thursday April 4 and Friday April 5: Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College | |
 Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City. New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events. | |

The article Bountiful Harvest has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
poorly sourced with no apparent notability
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. I know this is a very old one and you probably don't even remember creating it, but you may want to try and save it. Deb (talk) 17:25, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

The article Michael McElroy (scientist) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Nomination of Race and intelligence for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Race and intelligence is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
