Hello

Hello KSRolph,

Do you by any chance have any links to some of your work done throughout Latin America? Also, have you worked within Amazonia?

HEY BGG2 - THIS IS A COPY OF MESSAGE SENT TO DRMIES

Dear Drmies,

Bgg2 is studying Wikipedia authorship and editing; our ambassadors have been advised, and the deletions and detail of how this affects the user, interaction with Drmies, etc. is useful for learning. Please permit Bgg2 to edit again. I will oversee his contributions. Thank you kindly. Really great to know there are gate keepers too, by the way! KSRolph (talk) 19:05, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

• KSRolph, if you're using Wikipedia for class assignments, there are a few helpful things you can do. Have a look at Wikipedia:School and university projects. It has some useful advice, first of all, and a list where you can add your project. One helpful thing you (and your students) can do is place a template on the talk page of an article if they are actively working on it (that is, if they're doing more than make one or two small edits): see Template:Educational assignment. For practical purposes, having a list of students somewhere in your user space (maybe on a dedicated space like this one, User:KSRolph/class list) is also a good idea, for yourself and for other editors, maybe with a link from your talk page to that list. Let me know if I can help. Thanks, and good luck, Drmies (talk) 19:43, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Professor,

I'm planning to make edits on the following wikipedia pages- "Tigrinya language", 'African immigrants to Italy", "Eritrean Refugees" "Tigrinya verbs" and create my own page about Eritrean immigrants. These will be the four edits and one new page i want to work on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wisdomize (talk • contribs) 04:42, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Pr. Rolph,

I really like the idea of a class list page. It might be a good space for us to get together and talk about our projects and coordinate group activities. Also, as the space is in Wikipedia, it might help everyone get used to wiki technology. Colorfulsocks (talk) 20:35, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Welcome KSRolph!

Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are 48,462,710 users!

Hello, KSRolph. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm AnomieBOT, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. Factchecker_atyourservice

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Manual of style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't vandalize   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles

Perform maintenance tasks   Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Sincerely, AnomieBOT⚡ 20:58, 12 December 2011 (UTC)   (Leave me a message)

KSRolph. Thank you for your support. I created Occupy hand signals and additions of photos or videos would be appreciated.

On a related note, I see you've bumped into some issues related to copyvio and self referencing. Welcome to the club. We all go through it. If you want to vet anything before dropping it into an article, feel free to drop me a note on my talk page.--Nowa (talk) 13:07, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

HighBeam

Hello, I am sending this message to editors who signed up for the Women's History Month Edit-a-thon. Please help spread the word. HighBeam Research--an online, pay-for-use search engine for newspapers, magazines, academic journals, newswires, trade magazines and encyclopedias has agreed to give free, full-access, 1-year accounts for up to 1000 Wikipedia editors to use. HighBeam has access to over 80 million articles from 6,500 publications, most of which are not available for free elsewhere on the internet. Aside from a free 7-day trial (credit card required), access to HighBeam would cost $30 per month or $200 per year for the first year and $300 for subsequent years, so this is a wonderful, free, no-strings-attached opportunity. To qualify, editors must have at least a 1 year-old account with 1000 edits. Please add your name to the WP:HighBeam/Applications account sign-up page if you are interested. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 18:36, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Your class accounts

Hi. I'd like to apologise to you first of all for the trouble you went through with your class accounts getting blocked - I have to own up, because I'm the one who started that ball rolling. There is a limit per IP address, of 5 accounts per day - and when I started seeing multiple accounts getting made within hours of each other, all starting with "17", I figured something was up, and (I know now, wrongly) smelling trouble, I made a report to our team who investigate sockpuppetry on here.

Obviously now, I know better, and realise your accounts weren't sockpuppets, but it would be a great idea in future to leave a note on the Administrator's noticeboard so that admins are aware what you're doing, and we can then prevent this from happening again! Thank you, and sorry.  BarkingFish  23:38, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

If you have ideas (relating to Bay Area history, ideally) about a new article we could build (stubs and short existing articles are fine), please submit them ahead of time to coordinator Pete Forsyth. (User talk page or email is fine.)

Please join us in downtown San Francisco!

Hi folks,

We would like to invite you to this month's Bay Area WikiSalon. The last Wednesday evening of every month, Wikipedia and Wikimedia enthusiasts gather to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas.

We will have no formal agenda to allow people to freely share ideas and perhaps learn about Wikipedia through hands-on editing. Co-organizer Ben Creasy will be looking at election-related articles to enhance the information available in the upcoming November elections.

Co-organizer Stephen LaPorte has suggested doing an upload-a-thon for Wiki Loves Monuments. Niki, the California coordinator for WLM will be in attendance. WLM is an annual event and the official dealine is Friday the 30th for submissions to count towards awards.

Or, you can grab a couch, a booth, or a stool and do your own thing.

This also helps us figure out how much food and drink to bring in! Feel free to stop by even if only to say a quick hello, but you might have to give us a last minute call if you forget to RSVP.

Invitation to Local Wikimania Event in San Francisco this Friday

Hi!

Wikimania is happening and hopefully you're enjoying the sessions. While it's fairly last minute, you're warmly invited to participate in the local Wikimania-themed meetup in the Wikimedia Foundation office this Friday (tomorrow!). You will have to register in advance, but we would love to see more people from the WikiSalon community participate! For more information and registration, please check out meta:Wikimania 2022/San Francisco Meetup.

The event will involve hacking, teaching, learning, and celebrating and we'll have snacks. We will have the opportunity to watch live sessions at Wikimania together in the afternoon. The rest of the day we'll have opportunity to participate in the hackathon, and we may have some on-demand workshops/learning sessions.

In case we run out of space, it's first-come-first-serve so let us know soon! Hope to see you there.
