Meetup
Hi there, I noticed you expressed interest in the Birmingham meetup last October. Just letting you know, another UK meetup is in planning stages, here. We need input on where and when we will meet so comments would be much appreciated. Thanks. Majorly (talk) 16:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Prod
Sure, I'll restore it. You could have just taken the prod template off if you didn't think it should be deleted (but maybe you didn't see it). I'll do it in a jiffy. Deb (talk) 18:21, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes, there are many issues with deletions. If only there weren't so many people posting rubbish to the site, life would be much easier for everyone. Deb (talk) 18:39, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Methinks that was an accident. I'll go apologize, thanks for letting me know. Best, Keilana|Parlez ici 22:19, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Coleg Llandrillo logo.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Coleg Llandrillo logo.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

I wondered why your recent edit to this article has a misleading edit summary suggesting it was merely MoS:DP cleanup. The addition of Template:Tocright could be considered as such, but you also added alternative capitalisations to the lede as expressly forbidden in the start of MoS:DP, re-ordered many entries without explanation (not that I actually wish to dispute that), removed redlinks and their most relevant wikilinks for reasons I can't fathom, added entries and increased the length of some entries by re-writing them into WP:DICDEFs describing the words rather than the concepts (as is expected in an encyclopedia).
Well first, WP:MOSDAB is a guideline, not a policy. I reviewed my changes but don't see exactly which problems that you're referring to.[1] In any case, on Wikipedia, if you see something you would like to change, the best way to deal with things is usually to just change it, not to chase after the previous editor who was on the page. There are preferred methods of doing things, but that doesn't mean that they're required. Either way, your change seems fine, it could really be done either way.[2] --Elonka 19:06, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Environmental Law Foundation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. NJGW (talk) 17:38, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Signpost updated for November 17, 2008 and before.
Because the Signpost hasn't been sent in a while, to save space, I've condensed all seven issues that were not sent into this archive. Only the three issues from November are below.
