OK, folks; I just finished creating a major update to The Matrix (club), and I need some feedback as it's the first big thing I've done in Wikipedia. Please send me that constructive criticism that this kind of thing needs. Thanks! SFFrog (talk) 02:07, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Campus Ambassador needed

Hi! My name is Annie Lin - I'm the Campus Team Coordinator at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm contacting you because you're listed as a resident of San Francisco, and we're currently looking for a friendly Wikipedian to teach students in a University of San Francisco class how to use/edit Wikipedia. This is a role titled the "Wikipedia Campus Ambassador," and you'll basically be doing in-class presentations about Wikipedia, running Wikipedia labs/workshops, and in general providing face-to-face Wikipedia help for the professor and the students in the class. The time commitment is about 3-5 hours a week (with variations throughout the semester), and for this particular University of San Francisco class, most of the workload will be between March and May.

Please let me know if you're interested!

Thanks. Annie Lin (Campus Team Coordinator, Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 20:07, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

December 2014

Your recent edit to List of bands from the San Francisco Bay Area appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 17:29, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

April 2015

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, you may be blocked from editing. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 05:15, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know who Phil Robertson is. I don't know if he's a Christian, if he claims to be a Christian, or if other people claim he isn't a Christian. However your edit is not acceptable, per WP policy. This isn't because it's either right or wrong (neither of us get to decide that), but because it's unsourced and not a neutral comment.

Neither of us get to say "He is a good man", "He is a bad man", "He is not a Christian". WP just doesn't work that way.

All we can edit is to quote some other commentator, who meets WP:RS, and to quote them. So (If they have said this in a public citable medium) we might say "The Pope said Phil Robertson is not a Christian", and give a citation to the Pope's comments to that effect.

We don't get to say "I think he's not a Christian", or "He isn't a Christian". Andy Dingley (talk) 12:43, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Andy, for this response. I didn't see it before responding to your response on the Phil Robertson Talk page. I'm going to now revert my changes to the main page. As soon as I have time I'll thoroughly study the Wikipedia policies so I don't embarrass myself again. SFFrog 14:02, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Andy Dingley, I just went to do the reversion, but see it's already been done by you. Oh well, my heart's in the right place. SFFrog 14:11, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

UCSF project

Hi! I am currently revamping the UCSF project. I created lots of pages and added a lot of content, but there is so much still to do. I saw that you are part of the SFBA task force, so I thought you might be interested and I wanted to invite you to collaborate once more. In particular, we need to add content, do maintenance, and we really would benefit from pictures, so if you are in SF and could help that would be great. Thanks!Eccekevin (talk) 15:12, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, SFFrog! We are looking for editors to join WikiProject University of California, San Francisco, an outreach effort which aims to support development of UCSF related articles in Wikipedia. We thought you might be interested, and hope that you will join us. If you are interested in joining, please visit the project page, and add your name to the list of participants, check out our To Do list, and join the discussion on our talk page. Thanks!!!

Hi, Eccekevin! I no longer live in the City, although I am a native. My only connection to UCSF is as a patient at their dental school (although I briefly worked on their IBM mainframe system about 45 years ago when I was with IBM). I am willing to do basic editing on any page, as I am an English grammar expert, having been a paid tutor at College of San Mateo on the past. If that would be helpful, please contact me again. SFFrog 09:08, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dear SFFrog, thank you for your response. Well, any and all help is always welcome. IN particular, what you propose could be a huge help. I've redacted a lot of pages recently, and in little time, so the prose and grammar could definitely do with some improvement, particularly on the main UCSF page. If you'd like simply to go over that page and other pages in the project, it would help a lot. Nothing major, just small improvements can make the difference. Thank you again so much Eccekevin (talk) 10:43, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again, Eccekevin! I decided to see if I could help on the main UCSF page and ended up spending 3+ hours on it before I was too tired to continue. I'll pick up where I left off whenever I have time. When you have time, you can do a "View History" there to see my changes, mostly minor grammar and/or punctuation changes, typo corrections, and a few eliminations of redundancies (I saw more, but didn't have the energy to PROPERLY deal with them at this time). It's 4AM, and I'm going to sleep. SFFrog 11:06, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
