Ambassador information

[edit]

Hi Walla2jl! Just a follow up to see how you're faring with the Ambassador program and your workload? A quick request.. I've got to tag your userpage with some information, so could you provide me with the Project you're working with and the class? Thanks! Dusti*poke* 06:03, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mentoring

[edit]

Hi there, Sross contacted me and asked me to take Dusti's place mentoring you (he has apparently permanently retired). It looks like Cindy Allen is your professor and that this page says that you're working on Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act (see next comment)? Have you edited Wikipedia before this? It would be extra work for you, but you may step through my Adoption courses if you'd like -- they are a fairly comprehensive overview of how things work. You can find them at User:Banaticus/Adoption if you're interested. If you'd like any further help, contact me on my user talk page or put a {{help me}} template up on your own user talk page and someone will be along to help you. :)

My apologies, I was mistaken -- you're working on Ballot Security Task Force. It's coming along, but could really use section headers. If you'd like any further help, contact me on my user talk page or put a {{help me}} template up on your own user talk page and someone will be along to help you. :) Banaticus (talk) 19:19, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GOCE drive newsletter

Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors

The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their September 2011 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy editing backlog. The drive will begin on September 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on September 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles in the backlog, as we want to copy edit as many of those as possible. Please consider copy editing an article that was tagged in 2010. Barnstars will be given to anyone who edits more than 4,000 words, with special awards for the top 5 in the categories "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". See you at the drive! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters.

Survey

[edit]

Hi Jennifer!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!
