Article Feedback deployment

edit

Hey Doug1943; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 21:51, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 23:00, 28 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

With respect to 'excluded speakers', as I recall John Lewis of SNCC was going to give a talk which was very critical of both major political parties, but this was not allowed.(I was there, but do not have any personal knowledge of this) In fact, there was a leaflet printed up with the talk he woiuld have given which circulated for a long time thereafter. --Doug1943 21:31, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

We're merely editors, we're not in charge of the money of the WMF. WMF is very clear that it does not admit donations meant for promoting for or against something. Meaning that Wikipedia content is free from any monetary concerns, such as advertising or promotion. Tgeorgescu (talk) 00:20, 30 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
