NARA backstage pass

Hey Dana, I'm glad you can come. Are you coming from the Arlington area (unless I am misremembering)? I think CutOffTies would be willing to give you a lift, if so. Let me know whether or not it works out, so we can make sure you can attend! Dominic·t 21:31, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I am coming from Arlington, and have already worked out the ride situation with CutOffTies. Thanks, see you Saturday!--Danaman5 (talk) 21:33, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

DYK for D. Putnam Brinley

Gatoclass (talk) 00:03, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations on this interesting article. You say the Great Terrestial Globe "sat" in the lobby of the Daily News Building. Is it no longer there? The DYK makes it look as if it is. - Ipigott (talk) 06:13, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

You know, I actually am not certain about that. My impression from the sources is that it wasn't there anymore, but I admit that I haven't actually been to the Daily News Building, and I don't know where the globe would be now. If anyone knows anything more, we can certainly edit the article.--Danaman5 (talk) 01:00, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome, Danaman5. Please be encouraged to self-nominate your next wikicontribution for DYK. Happy editing. Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 23:58, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

NNU Project

Danaman5! 很感谢你对我们的帮助和支持，也很感动能跟"老南京人“搭档！However, I should mention that the course being taught is in fact English Writing for students who will all need to use English in their future careers, the majority of them as English teachers. So, though of course Chinese may be necessary at times to resolve misunderstandings, it would be preferable if English remained the usual medium of communication and collaboration. With many thanks, Njnu-ban-xueshenghao (talk) 00:41, 20 September 2011 (UTC) Saw your message. Thanks for your understanding! Njnu-ban-xueshenghao (talk) 01:02, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Ambassadors of the People's Republic of China, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Zhang Xun (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.

Requesting translation: Startling by Each Step to 步步驚心 (電視劇)

Hi, I'm NeoBatfreak. The reason I'm writing is that I am requesting translation of the plot summary of Startling by Each Step to . If possible, please tranlate the summary and paste the translated text on my talk page. Thank you very much.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 00:29, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Are you asking for a translation into Chinese? I am not a native Chinese speaker, and therefore probably cannot translate into Chinese as well as they could. If you post your request to WT:CHINA, you may get responses from a native speaker who can help you. (if you ever need a translation from Chinese into English, I can help you there)--Danaman5 (talk) 02:16, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

MSU Interview

Dear Danaman,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at [email protected] (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at [email protected]. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck (talk • contribs) 14:06, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Abuse Filter on the Article Feedback Tool

Hey there :). You're being contacted because you're an edit filter manager, At the moment, we're developing Version 5 of the Article Feedback Tool, which you may or may not have heard about. If you haven't; for the first time, this will involve a free-text box where readers can submit comments :). Obviously, there's going to be junk, and we want to minimise that junk. To do so, we're working the Abuse Filter into the tool.

For this to work, we need people to write and maintain filters. I'd be very grateful if you could take a look at the discussion here and the attached docs, and comment and contribute! Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 18:12, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

• Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at [email protected]. Cheers! Ocaasi ^{t | c} 17:13, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Image Thumbnail

The full size version of the image here is the correct, updated version that I uploaded, but all of the smaller, thumbnail versions still show the older, unupdated version, even after waiting for days. Is this some kind of thumbnail caching bug?--Danaman5 (talk) 10:31, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

That image is only used on one article, Women in the United States Senate, and that article is showing the updated version. Which other articles should it be on? Are you sure those articles don't have a different image (at a different name) that still looks similar? -- Patchy1 10:40, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't realize that it was showing correctly on the article. I was looking on the file page itself, where it is not showing correctly (at least not on my computer).--Danaman5 (talk) 11:07, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Deng Liqun, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Uyghur. 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.

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Thanks for writing the article Deng Liqun. I've nominated it for DYK, see nomination page. Your contribution is greatly appreciated! Zanhe (talk) 21:14, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, Zanhe! I'm still hoping to improve the article further if I can find the right sources. Also wondering if it is now long enough for an info box.--Danaman5 (talk) 14:00, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

That would be great. I think it's definitely long enough for an infobox. It probably would also benefit from being structured into separate sections. But as you've done a lot more research than I on the subject, I'll leave it in your capable hands. The DYK nomination has already been approved, and it should appear on the main page in a few days. -Zanhe (talk) 20:21, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
