Welcome![edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Newcomers help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I noticed you are known only as an IP address; that means you are not signed up. To sign up, you only need to click Create account and choose a username and password. You don't need to provide any personal information. If you sign up, you'll have a username that others can use to recognize you and leave you messages on the wiki. You'll be able to sign your name just by typing four tildes (~~~~) when you leave someone else a message. Plus, you (and others) will easily be able to see a list of all your contributions to Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, ask at the Village pump, or feel free to ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Mariano(t/c) 07:11, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spam[edit]

Hola Mariano,

vi que borraste dos links que había colocado en Cordoba y Buenos Aires y que consideré que podían ser utiles dado que no vi algo asi en Internet ni en wikitravel, pensas que es spam?

Saludos Javier

Regarding your edits; yes, adding links to commercial sites (specially to several articles) is considered spam. This is not a travel guide, but an encyclopedia. Try perhaps Wikitravel. --Mariano(t/c) 13:14, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:cristina.ar[edit]

I didn't find any way to check on cristia.ar, only sites with com.ar, gov.ar, etc. Unfortunatelly, nic.ar doesn't support WHOIS. Anyway, the fact that it's reserved doesn't mean it will be used (might be just trying to prevent someone else from taking it) --Mariano(t/c) 17:56, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no way to check cristina.ar as it is not a normal domain in the .ar environment, this is highly irregular and cannot be considered as something done to protect it as there is no way to reserve it through NIC, it has to be done from high up.

However I give you the point as it doesn't mean it will be used, only that it is highly irregular. That is why I only mention the fact that cristina.ar is not normal.

Wikimedia Stories Project[edit]

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[edit]

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!♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:38, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
