Your articles

CCI Phantom is fine but I agree that the Walt Disney article is too long. I would rather you did 2 short articles than one long one. The reason for this is all the citation gobbledygook... It can get really tedious and confusing for newer editors as you go through line after line of text. With shorter text, its easier to find and fix errors in translation. Please try to find a second short article to your liking.Thelmadatter (talk) 13:29, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Absinthiana

Fascinating topic but most of the article is uncited and contains a tag to this effect. It also comes up a little short at 662 words by my count. However, its the lack of citation that is troubling to me. The information is unverifiable (one of Wikipedia's pillars). Please find another topic.Thelmadatter (talk) 15:07, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

One Hundred (Aqua Teen Hunger Force)

That will work. What a strange concept for a cartoon!Thelmadatter (talk) 22:26, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Buffalo Mozzarella

OK, but you might want to mention this difficulty in your reflective essay... the one you didnt give me a draft of by yesterday! Thelmadatter (talk) 13:59, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

You are right. I associated the wrong WP name with the wrong real-world name!Thelmadatter (talk) 16:23, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Your opinion is needed

Hello! The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is considering adapting a formal E-Volunteer program and they welcome your opinion as a Wikipedian. Your responses to this E-Volunteer survey will be extremely valuable. The survey will come to a close on October 1st. If you're interested, here are other ways you can help the Children's Museum's Wikipedia project. Thanks so much! LoriLee (talk) 19:44, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Re: Michael Tsalka

The problem was that you were adding this <ref name = ''MichaelTsalka''>, with ″ ″ and it should be <ref name = "MichaelTsalka">, with " ". Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 01:19, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of La Grande Chapelle

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on La Grande Chapelle requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Themself (talk) 02:28, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the article! This was declined, but some copy-editing would be nice, for example you can't say "this genre has diminished its use", but I don't know how to express what I think you want to say, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:05, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Children's Museum update

Kit Cat Klock

It's time again to share the latest news on the Children's Museum of Indianapolis Wikipedia project! In the last few months we have been busy with our third image donation, which was made up of 150 images that were professionally photographed specifically for this upload. We are asking for volunteers to categorize these images and distribute them into Wikipedia articles. Your help is appreciated! Check them out here.

We have also donated our first video and a second GLAM-Wiki Infographic to Commons. In September we were thrilled to welcome Jimmy Wales to the museum. Following our successful Edit-a-Thon and Translate-a-Thon in August, translations have continued with the help of the established QRpedia community, (particularly Russian translations thanks to Lvova!) We have begun to analyze our implementation of QRpedia codes and completed an extensive case study. In November we presented at the Museum Computer Network conference about how museums can effectively collaborate with Wikipedia. You can see more details on the Prezi.

In more general news, in addition to serving as the Children's Museum's Wikipedian-in-Residence, it was recently announced that I will be taking on the role of US Cultural Partnerships Coordinator for the Wikimedia Foundation. In this role I will be working to streamline the process of connecting interested US GLAMs with the Wikipedia community. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to let me know. Be sure to sign up for This Month in GLAM to keep up with the latest GLAM-Wiki news from around the world (subscribe).

We have a listing of High Need and Moderate Need requests on the Ways to Help section on the project page. I encourage you to lend a hand if you're able. While the Children's Museum partnership continues to truck along, we still are in desperate need of volunteers to help disperse our images and update and maintain content. Thank you for your time and help. Happy holidays! LoriLee (talk) 16:45, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
