Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted in Troy, Alabama

edit

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian in Alabama. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Troy University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

I know Alabama is a big state, but if you happen to live near Troy and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from Troy who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 16:14, 6 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited All Saints Episcopal Church (Fort Lauderdale, Florida), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Episcopal and Georgia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Ellen Brown

edit

Hi, Ellen Brown was recently deleted. But it seems wrong. She may not be well-known among economists, but she is well-known within the monetary reform movement. Other big names in this movement are Bill Still, Stephen Zarlenga, Margrit Kennedy, James Robertson, Joseph Huber, Herman Daly and Dennis Kucinich. Abraham Lincoln is also associated with this movement, because of the Greenbacks. One recent IMF-publication is also saying the same thing as this movement, by the way. --Mats33 (talk) 01:42, 28 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

    • Why are you telling me about this? I was not an editor on the article. The people who voted to delete the article were primarily reacting to the fact that the article was VERY poorly developed, in addition to the fact that it looked really self-promotional. You are the person who wants to save the article, so YOU must do the work. Get some reliable sources-- at least five that are substantial and focus on Ms. Brown as the primary subject of prominent coverage by major sources. Then write a proposed article as a page on your own account. Then follow the procedures to undelete the article--but only after you are ready. If you fail to do the work you have no one to blame but yourself.OfficeGirl (talk) 22:54, 29 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
