Hi Flappable!

[edit]

Glad to see you here! I am also excited to learn about the GWU edit-a-thon events--very cool! --Sarasays (talk) 22:28, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NMFA?

[edit]

Hi Flappable, I see that you're doing stuff at the editathon. Is there work being done to create a new page on the National Master Freight Agreement (FYI), as rumored? groupuscule (talk) 18:37, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Groupuscule! I don't think anyone is going to tackle that today. (Unless you wanted to get the ball rolling?) Flappable (talk) 18:59, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your ongoing improvements

[edit]

to Carol Brooks MacNeil, an article that i thought I had written, but a look at the history there does not support his thesis. I did do White Rabbits (sculptors) and several of the spinoffs, and somehow MacNeil ended up on my watchlist. Anyway, thanks, Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 19:52, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Charles Butler (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your draft article, Draft:Baltimore Design School

[edit]

Hello, Flappable. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Baltimore Design School".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Draft:Baltimore Design School}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Help with Hopkins Medicine Article

[edit]

Hello, I am a student in the Freshman Seminar on Hopkins Medicine that you are watching over. My article is on Isabel Hampton, and I am having a hard time moving my second info box to the left side of the page. Could you help me with this?

Change in your user rights

[edit]

Your Wikipedia account was previously granted a user right called "course instructor" by the Wiki Education Foundation. That right enabled you to create a course page through the EducationProgram MediaWiki extension. Starting in fall 2015, the Wiki Education Foundation has discontinued its use of this extension. Going forward, users should create course pages through the Wiki Education Foundation website. That application is more user-friendly, and any content is automatically mirrored to Wikipedia. To prevent confusion, we'll be removing your "course instructor" user right, as it is not needed with the new system. This is simply a notification of the technical change to your account. No action is needed from you at this time.

If you plan on teaching with Wikipedia for the fall 2015 term, please email me (helaine@wikiedu.org) for instructions how to create your next course page using our new system. --Helaine (Wiki Ed) (talk), sent by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:34, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sycamore Island (Potomac River) (March 26)

[edit]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Curb Safe Charmer was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
Please add references that show that the island(s) have been written about in depth by multiple reliable, independent publications.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Teahouse logo
Hello, Flappable! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 10:49, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A cup of coffee for you!

[edit]
I wanted to say hello as a fellow Wikimedia editor for a university.

I am at the University of Virginia so we are in the same region. I have coordinated medical school outreach for a while. I do projects here in the Data Science Institute and the library, and I track things in the Programs and Events dashboard as documented at Wikipedia:WikiProject University of Virginia.

If you ever could use collegial support then ping me. Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:33, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
