A belated welcome!

The welcome may be belated, but the cookies are still warm!  

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Bmansurov (WMF). I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Bobherry Talk Edits 13:31, 16 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

IRC cloak request

edit

Hello Bmansurov (WMF). You recently applied for a Wikimedia IRC cloak, but it looks like you forgot to register your nickname first. Could you please log on to IRC and do:

/msg NickServ REGISTER <password> <email>

where <password> is a password of your choice and <email> is your e-mail address? After you do that, please follow the instructions that are e-mailed to you to confirm your e-mail address. When you're done with that, I just need you to confirm your cloak request:

/msg MemoServ send wmfgc IRC cloak request

After you finish all of that, I'd be happy to get you a cloak. :-) If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my Meta talk page. Barras talk 23:13, 22 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Just letting you know, I replied on my talk page. -Barras talk 11:09, 23 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Mass message sender granted

edit
 

Hello. Your account has been granted the "massmessage-sender" user right, allowing you to send messages to multiple users at once. A few important things to note:

  • Messages should only be sent to groups of users who are likely to be interested in the topic.
  • For regular mailings such as those for WikiProjects, localized events, or newsletters, users should be informed of how they can unsubscribe from future mailings.
  • The mass messaging tool should never be used for canvassing with the intention of influencing the outcome of discussions.

For more information, refer to the guidance for use. If you do not want mass message sender rights anymore, just let me or any other administrator know and we will remove it. Thank you and happy editing! Swarm 21:36, 17 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

If you need to send these messages to multiple projects, you can request this flag at meta:Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat, and coordinate your mailings from there. — xaosflux Talk 14:21, 19 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, Xaosflux. I'll keep this in mind. Bmansurov (WMF) (talk) 01:54, 20 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Help request for mapping section titles

edit

Hi. We (the Research Team at Wikimedia Foundation) are building an algorithm that will align Wikipedia article sections across languages. For improving this algorithm we need the help of multilingual Wikipedia editors to provide true statements to the algorithm. You are contacted because based on your Babel template and/or content translation tool usage you know at least two of the following languages: ar (Arabic), fr (French), ja (Japanese), en (English), es (Spanish), ru (Russian).

(Note: by clicking the links in the following paragraph, you will be taken to Google spreadsheet.) If you'd like to help us with translating a subset of the section titles on or before 2018-04-25, please read and follow the instructions. If you see instructions in another language, please scroll down to find your preferred language. If you have questions about this message, you can contact us via Diego. Thank you! :) --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:01, 17 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
