Hi Logan, I saw your comment on my talk page regarding File:Arista-networks-logo.jpg – and I also saw you changed your mind. I updated the logo's page and used the same non-free rationale as that used for the logo of Cisco Systems. Thanks for bringing this up to my attention, I think we're better off now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsunanet (talk • contribs) 22:13, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Hey Logan! Thanks so much for your participation in the Office Hours session; the full logs can be found here, just in case you missed something or want to see precisely who said what. Re your idea for having the feed in a drop-down menu on the talkpage; the devs love it :). It's a "Phase 2" item, which translates into normalspeak as "we'll start working on it in January".
To recap; the barebones plan (without community suggested changes) can be found at WP:AFT5 - if you have any ideas, comments or suggestions, check out the talkpage, which I will be following vociferously. If you don't want to jump in all the time, but do want to participate in topics that particularly interest you, we'll be running a bi-weekly newsletter you can sign up for here. Once again, thanks for the great idea, and your participation so far :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 21:46, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Logan,
We're currently busy designing some new tests, and we need your feedback/input!
We also have a proposal to test new "accepted," "declined," and "on-hold" templates at Articles for Creation (drafts here). The discussion isn't closed yet, so please weigh in if you're interested.
Thanks for your help! Maryana (WMF) (talk) 02:15, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi Logan, regarding File:04 CALDER2.jpg and File:06 BIGFOOT.jpg I have update the source information indicating that both files were given by the author. Thanks for pointing out the problem. Regards, Jeremyjoshua (talk) 10:03, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
Hey guys! Another month, another newsletter.
First off - the first bits of AFT5 are now deployed. As of early last week, the various different designs are deployed on 0.1 percent of articles, for a certain "bucket" of randomly-assigned readers. With the data flooding in from these, we were able to generate a big pool of comments for editors to categorise as "useful" or "not useful". This information will be used to work out which form is the "best" form, producing the most useful feedback and the least junk. Hopefully we'll have the data for you by the end of the week; I can't thank the editors who volunteered to hand-code enough; we wouldn't be where we are now without you.
All this useful information means we can move on to finalising the tool, and so we're holding an extra-important office hours session on Friday, 6th January at 19:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office. If you can't make it, drop me a note and I'll be happy to provide logs so you can see what went on - if you can make it, but will turn up late, bear in mind that I'll be hanging around until 23:00 UTC to deal with latecomers :).
Things we'll be discussing include:
If you can't make it to the session, all this stuff will be displayed on the talkpage soon after, so no worries ;). Hope to see you all there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 04:50, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Suddenlink Logo.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 01:29, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi,
I would like to know if the Facebook page NII Organization was created by you as a Wikipedia official contributor. We noticed that you have a low resolution NII logo image, would you mind using a better quality file?

Hey there. Sorry, I was intending to put two pages into the Pennsylvania German Wikipedia, and I did not realize I was in the English Wikipedia. I did notice, though, that the reason for the deletion was listed as "clear copyright infringement," which is not the case. The page was simply in the Wikipedia of the wrong language. Thank you for deleting it from the English Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Verzannt (talk • contribs) 23:55, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Articles for Creation urgently needs your help!
Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 3167 submissions waiting to be reviewed.
If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. |
Hey guys; apologies for the belated nature of this notification; as you can probably imagine, the whole blackout thing kinda messed with our timetables :P.

Thanks for uploading File:PHPmotion logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hello,
I'm the author of the Two Pilots page and i'm wonder why you put speedy deletion. I'm using this page as a starting point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Kingdom and i don't see any difference, why some company can have page on the Wikipedia and some other is not. Can you explain this ? I even did not finished the page yet.

I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June in Berlin, Germany. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form.
This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets (extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.
We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!
I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.
Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.
Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 00:59, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
