A year ago, you were the 830th recipient of my PumpkinSky Prize, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:08, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
This is a message from the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee. Translations are available.
Greetings,
I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections. This year the Board and the FDC Staff are looking for a diverse set of candidates from regions and projects that are traditionally under-represented on the board and in the movement as well as candidates with experience in technology, product or finance. To this end they have published letters describing what they think is needed and, recognizing that those who know the community the best are the community themselves, the election committee is accepting nominations for community members you think should run and will reach out to those nominated to provide them with information about the job and the election process.
This year, elections are being held for the following roles:
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long term sustainability of the Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. There are three positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the board elections page.
Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to eligible entities. There are five positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC elections page.
Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Ombud
The FDC Ombud receives complaints and feedback about the FDC process, investigates complaints at the request of the Board of Trustees, and summarizes the investigations and feedback for the Board of Trustees on an annual basis. One position is being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC Ombudsperson elections page.
The candidacy submission phase lasts from 00:00 UTC April 20 to 23:59 UTC May 5 for the Board and from 00:00 UTCApril 20 to 23:59 UTC April 30 for the FDC and FDC Ombudsperson. This year, we are accepting both self-nominations and nominations of others. More information on this election and the nomination process can be found on the 2015 Wikimedia elections page on Meta-Wiki.
Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections -at- wikimedia.org
On behalf of the Elections Committee,

There are many current proposals as part of the 2015 Inspire Campaign related to harassment management. I’ve created a page, Meta:Grants:IdeaLab/Community discussion on harassment reporting meant to serve as a central space where the various stakeholders in these proposals and other community members can discuss which methods might serve our community best so that we can unify our ideas into collective action.

Copying within Wikipedia
Hi, Varnent. Thanks for creating the Eyerly Aircraft Company article. I notice though that it was created with text copied directly from the Lee Eyerly page. I just wanted to remind you that this does require proper attribution per terms of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Although all Wikipedia text is licensed under a CC-BY-SA Creative Commons license, this only creates a co-license in which contributors still maintain their right to attribution. Therefore, when copying Wikipedia text from one article to another, attribution must be given in the edit summary and should be done on the talk page, as well. I've gone ahead and added the attribution for you at Eyerly Aircraft Company and Talk:Eyerly Aircraft Company if you need to see how to do it. The page at WP:Copying within Wikipedia provides a better explanation. It will help you to do this on any future copying (and to add it to any of the past articles you may have created this way if you hadn't already done so). Cheers. — CactusWriter (talk) 18:01, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
- Excellent - thank you. I was going to look into that more as I hadn't done it before - but you solved that. :) Thanks again! --Varnent (talk)(COI) 18:12, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

@Varnent: Please revert edits changing Alphabet Task Force to something within Google. StudiesWorld (talk) 17:12, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Also, it seems very unlikely to me to succeed as a solo WikiProject, I would strongly advise against that change - especially as the two topics are obviously connected. --Varnent (talk)(COI) 17:29, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
