Did you know...
Did you know that you are a member of Category:Female Wikipedians (yeah!) but your Internationalisation preference is not set to "She edits wiki pages"? You can change that if you wish. (Remember to scroll down and click "Save" if you do.) Lightbreather (talk) 00:01, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Holly Hein, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page American. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Category:Dayton University alumni
Just to let you know I have moved the contents of Category:Dayton University alumni to the existing Category:University of Dayton alumni. I hope I have left the contents intact.Ottawahitech (talk) 15:24, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- @Ottawahitech: Thanks for the heads-up. Hmlarson (talk) 20:05, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
Update on the Kaffeeklatsch test area
The MfD for the Kaffeeklatsch was closed with the result page kept,[1] and this notice[2] re the WMF non discrimination policy was put on my page by Harej. (In a nutshell, the klatsch does not violate the policy.)
I don't know how the proposed WikiProject Women at the IdeaLab will fare, but one step at a time, I guess. Lightbreather (talk) 01:20, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
Presentation proposal for Wikimania 2015
How to pick up more women... | |
Hello! Victuallers and I have developed a proposal for a talk to be presented at Wikimania 2015. It's titled, How to pick up more women -- as in more women editors and more women's biographies. Examples include the Edit-a-thon blitz during WikiWomen's History Month and the "new articles" work underway by WikiProject Women Writers. The Wikimania talk proposal review process has begun and there's no guarantee that this proposal will be accepted. That's where you come in. Please review our proposal and give us feedback. Ultimately, we hope you add your name to the signup at the bottom of the proposal which signifies you're interested in the talk (it does not signify you'll be attending the event). Thank you! Rosiestep (talk) 22:15, 22 February 2015 (UTC) |
- @Rosiestep:. Thank you. Personally, I do not agree with the title - but would be interested in "attending." Hmlarson (talk) 20:36, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
- Since Victuallers suggested the title, it has brought up a lot of conversation, some saying it is controversial and the like, or just plain disagreeing with it. The important part, is the dialogue about the topic of more women editors, and more articles about women. And if the title helps with creating conversation about the topic, then mission accomplished... although there are also a lot of suggestions for other titles. Thank you, Hmlarson for sharing your thoughts. And please do add your name to the submission if you think the talk should be included at Wikimania. Also, if you have any other thoughts about the talk's topics, please do share!! Cheers, --Rosiestep (talk) 15:18, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
2015 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification
Hi there, I would like yor opinion about the qualification. I am planning to create player articles for goalscorers in the qualificaton in all association. Question is, with them playing in the qualification matches, does it make them notable? As I understood, based on WP:NFOOTY, as they played in official FIFA matches, they would be notable. Cheers!! MbahGondrong (talk) 23:44, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
- @MbahGondrong:Hi! Yes, that's correct. WP:GNG may also apply. In either case, as long as you make sure to use good references to support the article and you should be good. Hmlarson (talk) 23:53, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I merely moved the title to after References, so the link from the Contents will take the user to the end of the articles where categories are located. It is possible I have inadvertently removed some links. I will double-check. Thank you for your message.Harvardton (talk) 11:14, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
