Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 01:19, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Another gentle reminder to use the preview button. It's clogging up the edit history for your fellow editors to have your 20 small consecutive edits on Ronald Dupree to mostly add spaces into parameter assignment statements for an infobox. Please ask for assistance if you are having technical issues. Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 18:34, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Your latest edits at List of 2014–15 NBA season transactions and Devean George is continuing the pattern of multiple small changes in consecutive edits that is flooding the page history. Which leads me to believe that you are not aware of how to read your messages. Please at least acknowledge that you received this. Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 07:03, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminders, I'll try to use the preview button from now on. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 16:57, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Hacked

I'm just leaving a message saying that someone hacked my account and started messing up my user contributions. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 02:03, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

February 2015

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because it is believed to have been compromised. Note that edits to your user talk page might not indicate that you have regained control of your account. If your privileges to e-mail and edit your user talk page have been revoked, contact ArbCom at arbcom-appeals-enlists.wikimedia.org. —Bagumba (talk) 02:28, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

You should follow the instructions at WP:COMPROMISED if you wish to resume editing.—Bagumba (talk) 02:33, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Should I just change my password or should I create a new account? But how do I change my password? That's what another user suggested to me but I can't find out how. Can someone please help me? Thank you. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 03:14, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Or should I just create an unblock request? I'm stuck here. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 04:45, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Never mind, I got it. It said do not create unblock requests. Thanks Bagumba, although I really miss editing Wikipedia. I promise I can improve Wikipedia as long as my account doesn't get hacked again. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 01:19, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

How did you discover that your account was hacked? And how do you think it happened?—Bagumba (talk) 01:31, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Because one day I saw that in my user contributions, it showed that I removed and changed sourced content on Lee Kuan Yew although I didn't even edit that article. It's just me editing these days, so no one in living with me hacked my account, so it must be some random guy who found out my password because it's "short and has a pattern", so I tried to change it, but it didn't work. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 03:04, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

1) Are those the only two edits that you noticed were not yours? 2) When you say "It's just me editing these days", was anyone else sharing your account before? 3)And please expand on "I tried to change it, but it didn't work": how did you change it, and what happened? Was there an error message?—Bagumba (talk) 03:12, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

I'll clarify. 1) No, actually three edits as seen in the history, but it gave me a feeling that someone has found out my password. 2) No, I mean at least no one living close to me is active on Wikipedia. 3) How did I fail to change my password? I clicked 1st: Login, 2nd: Forgot password (at least I guess that's the way to change my password), 3rd: Enter "Magicaluniverse" for username and the email address is the one that it said was incorrect, although that is my email address. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 03:59, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

The "forgot password" feature is for when ... you forgot your password. You need to have already registered your email address per Help:Email confirmation. But you are able to log in to edit your talk page, so obviously you know your current password. You can change your password at Special:Preferences.—Bagumba (talk) 04:36, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Users of your account

Breaking off a new thread to further discuss the "hacked" edits to your account. You stated "I mean at least no one living close to me is active on Wikipedia." My followup question: Did anyone that did not live close to you share your account with you before? Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 04:36, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure. I remember that I joined Wikipedia just a year ago in February 2014. During this year, I didn't go anywhere farther than the place I currently live in. Probably no one living far from me that I know share my account, I guess. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 23:05, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Here is my suggestion. Go ahead and change your password, and secure it per WP:SECURITY. Use Template:Unblock on your page to request an unblock, and explain why you think your account will be OK going forward. An admin can review it.—Bagumba (talk) 23:58, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, Bagumba! —Magicaluniverse (talk) 01:03, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Not sure but

I think they say creating a new account with a stronger password is ok? i'm not 100 percent sure (forgive me if i'm wrong) Saturn star (talk) 04:03, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, Saturn star! But before creating a new account, I think I should change my password and just put this entire thing about my account being compromised behind me, and move on. But I don't know how to change my password. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 04:27, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Unblock

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Magicaluniverse (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I have changed my password to a longer and more complicated one, so now my account is safe. It won't be hacked anymore. Now if no one can hack it, I'm sure I can continue making useful contributions to Wikipedia like I did before. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 01:00, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Decline per DoRD's comments below. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:50, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I can see no evidence that this account has been hacked. It has been accessed from more than one computer, but the IP address is stable, and the edits in question (to Lee Kuan Yew) were apparently made from the same computer as was used for this block appeal. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 14:08, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

But before, I thought I got hacked. Now you're telling me that I didn't get hacked. Then why can't I be unblocked? Don't you see that I make useful contributions to Wikipedia for almost all the time? It's the Lee Kuan Yew edit history that made me think that I got hacked. I was blocked because it was thought that my account was compromised. Now that this is proved to be false, then I shouldn't be blocked anyway. Are you saying that I deserve to get blocked and remained blocked? And who would make the edits to Lee Kuan Yew if they are not my edits? I don't edit politician's articles. Why? Because I have no interest in those articles. I have more interest in sports like NFL, MLB, and NBA and also cars as seen in my user contributions. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 23:08, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Art+Feminism, Saturday, May 6, at Jacob Lawrence Gallery, UW Seattle

Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon Despite its wide reach, content on Wikipedia suffers from the bias of its editors: white, technically inclined, English-speaking men that live in developed, majority-Christian countries. This represents an alarming absence of voices in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge. In an effort to change this, the Jake is organizing a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on Saturday, May 6th, 1 - 5 pm. Our mission is to bring together diverse communities to participate in Wikipedia editing, and improve its coverage of queer people and women of color in the arts. We will provide childcare, snacks, and tutorials for the beginner editor. Bring your laptop, power-cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. No previous Wikipedia experience required! RSVP at and stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates. What: Improving Wikipedia's coverage on queer and women artists of color When: Saturday, May 6, 1-5pm Where: Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Art Building #132, 1915 NE Chelan Ln, Seattle, WA 98105 Who: People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate.

Art+Feminism, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm

For more info see the meetup page for Art+Feminism.	Wikipedia is one of the most wide-reaching repositories of shared knowledge, yet a 2011 survey found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female, suggesting an alarming absence of voices. What and how information is shared is skewed by this gender disparity. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is organizing a quarterly series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn artists of color. This Saturday afternoon's gathering will focus on creating, editing, updating, and expanding pages for womxn artists from Latin America and the Caribbean. The Edit-a-thon will feature a talk by Dan Paz, Lecturer in the UW School of Art + Art History + Design, an artist, and an educator who explores the labor of digital imaging production as a collaborative site where the intersections of the image-idea and lived experience are produced and contested. Through videos, photography, and sculptural projects that query the ability of documentary processes to be manipulated—to be multiplied and replicated, stopped and started, rewound and advanced—Dan works within the impossibilities of absolute replication to question the very ability of the image to truly represent. Everyone is welcome. Access to UW WiFi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. Please check the Facebook event page for updates. When: Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm Where: Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Art Building #132, 1915 NE Chelan Ln, Seattle, Washington 98105 Who: Everyone is welcome. What to bring: A laptop and power cord.

Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos

First Hill, Seattle, c. 1903, showing intersection of Columbia St and Summit Ave, Seattle, a panorama built from three Asahel Curtis photographs.

In the Seattle area? Tuesday evening, January 15, 2019, 6-9pm at Wayward Coffeehouse, 6417 Roosevelt Way NE #104, Seattle WA 98115 Wikipedia Day celebrates the anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia. This year in Seattle, Cascadia Wikimedians' celebration of Wikipedia Day will focus on a different closely related project: Wikimedia Commons, which (among other things) functions as the media repository for Wikipedia. When you see a photo or map in Wikipedia, or hear an audio clip, etc., it usually is hosted on Wikimedia Commons and "transcluded" into Wikipedia. Wikimedia Commons is a mix of users' own works and curated third-party content, either public domain or free-licensed. Our event is a hands-on workshop in curating third-party content, mostly early 20th-century photos of Seattle and other West Coast locations. Currently, Wikimedia Commons has two intersecting sets of older photos, one from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company and the other a more general set of Seattle images. At this meetup, we will celebrate the 18th anniversary of Wikipedia by further curating these images by the creation and addition of categories, adding ImageNotes where useful, linking other versions of the same photo, enhancing the descriptions, and identifying and correcting errors. User:Jmabel has already categorized over 1000 images and corrected several hundred wrong dates, misidentified buildings, and etc., but there is much more to be done. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle#Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos.

Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women. Let’s change that. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is continuing a series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn and gender non-binary artists of color. Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required!

Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Womxn Artists of the Pacific Northwest

Calendar page Jacob Lawrence Gallery — Calendar | School of Art + Art History + Design | University of Washington When Saturday, Nov. 16, 2019, 1 – 5 p.m. Campus location Art Building (ART) Campus room Jacob Lawrence Gallery Event types Special Events, Student Activities, Workshops Event sponsors Jacob Lawrence Gallery, School of Art + Art History + Design with support from Wikipedia and Art+Feminism Facebook event page www.facebook.com/events/2475807515865167/ Description Free parking is normally available on campus after 12pm on Saturdays. Check the Gallery's website for information about getting there. The ‘Big Four,’ or the four white male artists that comprised the Northwest School, were the subject of the famous 1953 LIFE magazine article, "Mystic Painters of the Northwest": Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan, Morris Graves, and Mark Tobey. Each of these artists have robust pages on Wikipedia. However, key female-identifying artists from this time such as Margaret Gove Cafferman — who Mark Tobey cited as an influence on his work — lack Wikipedia articles. To help address the imbalance of representation on Wikipedia, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is organizing an Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon focused on female-identifying artists of the Pacific Northwest. Childcare, snacks from local businesses, editing tutorials, books, and lists of artists will be provided. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. Please create a Wikipedia account before the event.
