Hello -- I work with David Oshinsky at NYU, and was trying to update his page earlier. The changes got reverted because I did not include a verifiable source. I had attempted to update his academic positions, and had linked to the department website pages for each of the positions. Can you please let me know what a proper source would be to show that Dr. Oshinsky is indeed in the roles I indicated? Or was it a technical issue, in that i didn't use <ref> tags?
Sorry - new to this!
Thanks! BLReview (talk) 17:21, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello there,
Blake Ayshford is known by the nickname The GUDG (Greased Up Deaf Guy) by all the fans of the New Zealand Warriors, the rugby league team he plays for. Therefore, the changes I made were valid.
Please unundo the change you made to the page, so that my edit still shows. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.204.166 (talk) 22:01, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi FlyingAce. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Widr (talk) 10:32, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi, It took me three tries to even get the publicity photo of Gayla to show up, and then you improved its formatting even more. The help section for adding photos is pretty opaque. So what did I do wrong, and how can I do it right if there is a next time I want to add a photo? BoomerVet46 (talk) 15:19, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
| image =
field, and next to it type only the name of the picture you are looking to add, with no brackets or other extra information (soGayla Peevey 1953.jpg
in this case). Then look for the | caption =
field and type there the caption that you want to show underneath the picture. There would be no need to specify the size in this case, the picture will be resized automatically. Help:Infobox picture has a more detailed explanation.[[File:Gayla Peevey 1953.jpg|thumb|Publicity photo of Gayla Peevey in 1953]]
) would work fine. See for example the photos in the History section of Oklahoma City.Hi, there's a new upcoming channel that be suggested by Disney rights, this channel was contain rights from Disney by Tv Azteca Mexico, so this channel will remplace as Disney Internacional (Formely Azteca América) — Preceding unsigned comment added by FrankBips (talk • contribs) 17:18, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Hey there! I just re-launched the WikiProject Investment.
The site has been fully revamped and updated and I would like to invite you the project.
Feel free to check out the project and ping me if you have any questions.
![]() I'd like to invite you to join the Investment WikiProject. There are a lot of Investment related articles on Wikipedia that could use a little attention, and I hope this project can help organize an effort to improve them. So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help get this project off the ground and a few Investment pages into the front ranks of Wikipedia articles. Thanks! |

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:48, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi Flying Ace. Welcome to Women in Red. I see you have already written an interesting article on Elisa Molina de Stahl and contributed it to the World Contest.

The Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative (led by the Safety and Support and Anti-Harassment Tools team) is conducting a survey for en.wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with the Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works - which problems it deals with well, and which problems it struggles with.
The survey should take 10-20 minutes to answer, and your individual responses will not be made public. The survey is delivered through Google Forms. The privacy policy for the survey describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants and can be found here:
If you would like to take this survey, please sign up on this page, and a link for the survey will be mailed to you via Special:Emailuser.
Please be aware this survey will close Friday, Dec. 8 at 23:00 UTC.

Hello,
I am E. Whittaker, an intern at Wikimedia with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.
Thank you Ewitch51 (talk) 21:12, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Flying Ace, when you edited the entry "Learning Disability" to eliminate a copyright violation of source 10, you incorrectly wrote that people with learning disabilities must be of average IQ or below. The correct statement is that they are of average intelligence or above, according to source 10 and my understanding. You might want to see if you approve of my wording. The crucial point is that "below" should be "above." Jl3walsh (talk) 00:48, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
Flying Ace, Sorry I assumed it was you. I'm a newbie to editing Wikipedia. Thanks.Jl3walsh (talk) 20:06, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
