Wikipedia Stories Project

edit

Hi!

My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. I'm 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 people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.

I'd very much 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. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project, or if you know anyone with whom I should speak.

Thank you for your time,

Victor Grigas

  1. Desbloqueo de mi cuenta
  2. Reversión de mi página de usuario
  3. Tachado del mensaje de aviso en mi discusión
  4. Bloqueo a BetoCG por 2 semanas
  5. Suprimir este bloqueo del reg. bloq. de Wikipedia (es) (que empaña mi imágen)

Gracias. Geógrafo23 de Wikipedia en español — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geógrafo23 (talkcontribs) 20:51, 3 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Greetings Cheveri. Good to "hear" from you. I agree with you that it's a clear-cut case for Afd. Whether from there it gets deleted is, of course, another matter. Hope you're surviving the heat well! Regards, --Technopat (talk) 17:11, 15 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Desbloqueo de cuenta

edit

Hola, espero que estés bien. Me gustaría pedirte que me desbloquees la cuenta en Wikipedia en Español. Mi cuenta fue creada en 2012 y me bloqueaste ese mismo día por una edición que hice de un artículo. En ese momento, no entendía bien las reglas de Wikipedia y siento mucho si causé algún problema. Te agradecería mucho si pudieras revisar mi caso y darme una segunda oportunidad. Estoy dispuesto a seguir cualquier consejo para asegurarme de que mis futuras ediciones sean útiles y adecuadas. Gracias por su tiempo y espero su respuesta. Millonario81 (talk) 20:02, 25 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
