Hogmanay greeting
Thank you very much for working with me in 2010 to make the encyclopedia a better place. Regardless of any disagreements we may have had, I want to wish you all the very best for 2011. I look forward to working with you, and I hope for health and happiness to you and your family in the year to come. I therefore send you this glass of the cratur, so you can celebrate, whether it is Hogmanay or New Year's Day where you are. Warmest regards, --John (talk) 04:58, 1 January 2011 (UTC) |

Opinion
Dear Invertzoo: Happy New Year! I am asking for your opinion if this quote from the newspaper I have researched sounds OK to be added for Latsabidze's article: After his Performance of Beethoven's Emperor Concerto at WUK Kulturhaus, the critic for Vienna’s main newspaper wrote that “Latsabidze is a technically brilliant pianist imbued with a spirit of greatness and genuine profundity” and added that “with a riveting intelligence and extraordinary imagination, given to everything he played, it was the kind of recital you never really forget.” I will put a reference from the newspaper and critic to support this quote. Please let me know. I will not put this in article till I get a few opinions from Wikipedia editors to be on the safe side. Thanks! Sausa (talk) 19:45, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi Invertzoo: As I mentioned earlier I added few short quotes and referenced them appropriately. Please look at the article and see if you have any suggestions regarding those quotes. I tried my best to have those quotes "balanced". Please let me know what you think. Thanks for your help! Regards Sausa (talk) 04:36, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks so much for all your edits in my article, great job! Regards Sausa (talk) 18:26, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

I glanced at it after coming home from the Meetup, though I didn't examine it in great detail. I'll see what I can do when I get around to it. Nightscream (talk) 23:24, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia Ambassador Program is looking for new Online Ambassadors
Hi! Since you've been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, I wanted to let you know about theWikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role ofOnline Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.
If that sounds like you and you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at theOnline Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply!
You can find instructions for applying atWP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).
I hope to hear from you soon.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 21:47, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
