Category:Commons OTRS volunteers

Shouldn’t your bot point to, as the category header says, the more comprehensive list of OTRS personnel on commons at Special:ListUsers/OTRS-member rather than the category itself when it delivers messages to user talkpages? :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 21:49, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll be sure to fix that. Hersfold (t/a/c) 16:05, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Regarding the last username left was taken's block...

You seem to have missed his response, so I'd like to direct you to it. Also, if you are unable to assume good faith, correctly interprit the checkuser results, or just don't have enough time, then I'll ask another checkuser. Thanks, Ajraddatz (Talk) 19:30, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hersfold has not edited since 22 Dec, so if you wish a speedy response to your somewhat backhanded request you may wish to try another CU. Syrthiss (talk) 19:49, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Done, and thanks. Ajraddatz (Talk) 14:50, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Panoramio-Screenshot.jpg

 

Thanks for uploading File:Panoramio-Screenshot.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 04:41, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Wikimania 2012 bid, DC chapter & next meetup!

  1. At WikiXDC in January, User:Harej proposed that DC submit a bid to host Wikimania 2012. A bid and organizing committee is being formed and seeks additional volunteers to help. Please look at our bid page and sign up if you want to help out. You can also signup for the bid team's email list.
  2. To support the Wikimania bid, more events like WikiXDC, and outreach activities like collaborations with the Smithsonian (ongoing) and National Archives, there also has been discussion of forming Wikimedia DC, as an official Wikimedia chapter. You can express interest and contribute to chapter discussions on the Wikimedia DC Meta-Wiki pages.
  3. To discuss all this and meet up with special guest, Dutch Wikipedian User:Kim Bruning, there will be a meetup, Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 16 this Tuesday at 7pm, at Capitol City Brewery, Metro Center. There will be a pre-meetup Wikimania team meeting at 6pm at the same location.

Apologies for the short notice for this meetup, but let's discuss when, where & what for DC Meetup #17. Also, if you haven't yet, please join wikimedia-dc mailing list to stay informed. Cheers, User:Aude (talk)
