[edit] WikiProject Automatic Archival Notification

Hi, by the suggestion of User:Radiant!, I am in the progress of programming a bot that will remove any project listed within Category:WikiProjects, and place {{inactive}} at the top of the page should the page has not been edited within a period of 6 months and the discussion page has not been edited for 2 months. If you have any objections, please let me know on my userpage. This notification is because you have a WikiProject that resides on your own User space. As I prefer not to touch people's user spaces, I would very much like your input in the matter. -- AllyUnion (talk) 05:47, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

ICan you take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Keywords? I think this should be discussed at Wikidemia. I have a moderated forum set up there for a similar topic. Thank in advance. Quinobi 22:56, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] More on stats?

Statistically speaking : an agenda for tomorrow would be grand. +sj + 16:35, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fundraising committee

Greetings! I have been tasked by the board of the Wikimedia Foundation to select the initial membership of the newly-created Fundraising committee. Your qualifications in this area have convinced me that you would be a perfect candidate for advisorship. If you accept this nomination, then do nothing. If you would instead prefer to be a consultant or volunteer or not involved at all, then please move or delete your name accordingly at meta:Fundraising committee. Thank you. --Daniel Mayer 04:22, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Crash space during Wikimania

Hello,

You have put an information on Wikimania webpage, that you are offering crash space.

I'd like to attend Wikimania, and I am wondering if you can accomodate me. I have no big demands. Just a place on your floor is absolutely OK.

Some info about me:

I am the treasurer of the Wikimedia Poland Society and its board member for the first year, elected on August 2005.

I am a chemist from Centre of Molecular Studies of Polish Academy of Sciences, involved in editing Polish Wikipedia, sometimes English and recently uploading chemical pictures to Commons.

My story with Wikimedia projects begun one month after launching polish edition of Wikipedia (at 2001), as a 7th registered user. Several weeks later I have also joined English Wikipedia, but I have registered there one year later, and have never been very active there.

In Polish Wikipedia I was mainly involved in editing chemical articles, translating basic meta articles from English Wikipedia, and also many articles for various other areas of knowledge. I don’t know exactly how many articles I have written from 2001 but my estimation it is in between of 1000 serious content additions and much more minor editions. Currently, I am responsible for maintaining Chemistry Wikiportal and category chemistry on Polish Wikipedia.

I am also admin of Polish Wikipedia almost from its beginning. I am administering articles for deletion, featured articles and Questions of newbies. I am also a member of informal "cleaning department" on Polish Wikipedia.

[edit] Crash space

Hi! It's not sure yet, but I hope to be at Wikimania 2006. I'm going to present some ideas about starting a political party based on wiki ideas, some software to access Wikipedia on the Nokia 770, and possibly tell something about Wikipedias in languages such as Quechua, Wolof, Bambara and Fulfulde. Currently I'm living in Lima, but after Wikimania I will continue my travels in the US and Canada, hitchhiking and CouchSurfing. Please let me know if you have some couch or place on the floor for me during Wikimania, possibly At kasper DOT souren AROBASE gmail dotcom. Guaka 23:26, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Guaka, I expect it would be fine to crash on my couch during Wikimania. Let me confirm with my roommates. What was your email address again? I was not able to decipher from your post. Also, what would your dates of arrival and departure be? I hope to meet you in August. Tobacman 18:10, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Great! Ok, here it comes again in a different variation: kasper D O T souren A T gmail D O T com. I am not sure about my date of arrival, but I was planning on at least attend some developer days. And I will at least try to arrive hitchhiking, from NY, so it's hard to give an exact date. I wanted to stay till the end of the conference. Guaka 18:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Room for one more? (Wikimania)

Tobacman,
I was wondering if you have room for one more during hacking days? I'm staying in the Cambridge dorms for the main event, but I need a crash space from July 31-August 2. Can I stay at your place? :)

Kyle, I will be madly busy those days, but it will be fine for you to stay at my place. I look forward to meeting you then. Jeremy
Great, Thanks so much! Can you email me so we can exchange contact information? kyle at xkyle dot com. KyleAnderson 06:13, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images rather than / as well as PDFs for stats?

Hi Tobacman, Saw your post on wikitech-l about the stats. I like the graphs (who doesn't?!), but can I maybe suggest making them into images rather than (or if you prefer as well as) PDFs? That way they can be embedded straight onto the report page and viewed all at once, rather than having to be downloaded one-by-one and viewed individually in an external app. Just a thought :-) -- All the best, Nickj (t) 05:03, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Good idea. They're now all up here, which is somewhat better; we'll try to get them in-line somewhere soon. Tobacman 21:52, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Looks good. If it helps for inlining, there's an upload script that can be used to make uploading data from a command line easier. -- All the best, Nickj (t) 02:20, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Crash space for a mum with a baby

Hi Tobacman, My name is Rani, a mummy geek from Indonesia. I'll be coming down to Cambridge for wikimania, expect to be in Cam from 2 aug to 7 aug. I wonder if the crash space offer is still available? Note i will be coming with my 1 year old baby, but we're pretty much flexible in terms of sleeping arrangement. Thanks! Meutia Chaerani 07:28, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Rani-- Tiga orang sudah mau menginap disini selama Wikimania. Silahkan gabung juga, tapi mungkin kalian lebih nyaman di tempat lain. Tolong kasih tahu...
Sampai ketemu! Jeremy
Hi Jeremy, terimakasih banyak. Saya sudah hubungi SJ dan dia bilang saya masih bisa dapat kamar di Gropius Dorm. Kamar di Dorm cukup bagus karena dekat dengan Wikimania, dan juga ada "privacy", khususnya untuk bayi saya. Terimakasih atas balasan anda, dan semoga kita bisa berjumpa di Cambridge. Salam!

[edit] FundCom

Would you also be interested in being a full member? We are a bit short in that area. The board nixed one of the people on my suggested list due to him already being on two other committees. --mav 11:22, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Mav, I am honored by the invitation. Any special skills I have are in designing and conducting statistical analyses. As a committee member, what would I be expected to do? If my responsibilities would be focussed around statistical work, I would accept enthusiastically. Jeremy

[edit] Crash space...

All sorted, thanks, I'm staying in the dorms. Sorry I put my request in the wrong place, not sure how or why that happened... after 9000 edits you'd think I wouldn't make that sort of mistake! ++Lar: t/c 18:12, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Congratulations!

A klein bird told me congratulations are in order. Wow! What great news! Best wishes & all that! Jkbaum 01:39, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!! Jean and I couldn't be happier :) Jeremy 23:36, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Ahh, so the actual wedding will be anticlimactic? (: +sj + 01:21, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the note, but all I did was automatic unicodification. - Stephanie Daugherty (Triona) - Talk - Comment - 01:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
