IRC Connection
Hi Jianhui, reading through the WP mentorship IRC channel logs, I saw that you logged in via my links on my talk. Do you want me to try and format some for you for here? Thanks, Matty.007 20:05, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Matty. When I use my phone for IRC, I will use your links as my phone Internet does not save the IRC links. So I use your link and inserted more channels that I want to log in to. You can format some for me, as I don't need to log in to the WP mentorship IRC Channel. Thanks. Jianhui67 T★C 19:32, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
- I have removed T13's and the mentorship channel. Is there anything you want added? Thanks, Matty.007 19:40, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
- Well I also need T13's channel. Add #wikimedia-commons, #wikimedia-stewards, #wikidata, #cvn-commons, #wikimedia-commons-lr, #wmt, ##Revi and ##DangSunM. Thanks. Jianhui67 T★C 19:49, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your RfA support
Hi there, a bit of a form letter from me, Cyphoidbomb, but I wanted to drop you a line and thank you for your support at my recent RfA. Although I was not successful, I certainly learned quite a bit both about the RfA process and about how the community views my contributions. It was an eye-opener, to say the least. Thank you!

WP mentorship
Hi Jianhui67, there is a proposal ongoing about a development of Wikipedia mentoring, to make it slicker and a better, more standerdised process. We would love to have you on board, and would appreciate your help, anything you can do, from reading the proposal and leaving comments to volunteering to be a part of the scheme is greatly appreciated. I know you have found the channel, but please take a minute to have a look at the proposal. Thanks, Matty.007 16:14, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
