You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:
This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025. Your current IP address is 54.234.107.93.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== satan and serpent ==

You reverted the Satan page, putting back in the assertion that the Tanakh uses the term "satan" to refer to the serpent in the Garden in Eden. Since the Tanakh itself doesn't use the term "satan" to refer to the serpent, that seems like a mistake. Was it intentional?

==Artlex.com==
Hi. I've been coming across some of your reversions to Artlex.com and agree there has been spamming of this site. However, it is not quite that straightforward and sometimes it has been already cited in a legitimate earlier edit. Then the "spammer" has actually made a useful edit to the link by inserting an anchor to the URL which means a user goes directly to the definition, rather than the top of the page where the definition is. However, you have reverted to the previous edit, which actually removes the anchor, but keeps the URL as in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Catalogue_raisonn%C3%A9&diff=62110599&oldid=62102728 Catalogue raisonné].

On another occasion the "spammer" corrected a spelling mistake on Deesis and in your reversion you [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Deesis&diff=next&oldid=62102925 inadvertently reinstated the spelling mistake].

Some of the artlex.com links are useful such as the one in [[Apollo Belvedere]], which showed the sculpture with and without a fig leaf. Your reversion [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Apollo_Belvedere&diff=next&oldid=62105936 deleted this.] I have reinstated it.

The edit made to [[Cy Twombly]] was an improvement with a more appropriate description, but you [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cy_Twombly&diff=next&oldid=62106411 reverted it] to the inferior description. 

I suggest that where the artlex.com link has been used by a genuine editor it is kept, and if it is then amended usefully by the "spammer", we should keep that amendment.

However, when the "spammer" has just inserted the link themselves it should be reverted.

The user contributions are [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=68.231.89.220 here]. I have been through all of these up to the current time.

I see that you are doing a good job, but I thought you would like to have these points brought to your attention.

== US vs. UK punctuation ==

I really recommend against changes like you made at [[Jean-Paul Marat]], where you moved periods, etc., inside quotation marks rather than outside. This is a US/UK punctuation difference. It previously followed UK/Commonwealth standards; you converted it to US standards. Wikipedia MoS generally has no preference between US and UK/Commonwealth English. Changing things from one to the other is usually pointless at best, and liable to provoke anger from the "other side" at worst. This is especially the case when the change is in this direction, because the UK/Commonwealth contributors often feel outnumbered and outgunned. - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] | [[User talk:Jmabel|Talk]] 18:35, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I'm addressing this to the wrong person, but I just recieved a message alerting me not to add an external link to a Nikka Costa fan site.  If this message originated from you, I would just like to say that the site is not my own.  I added the link because I found it by searching through the sites that are already listed as external links beneath the Nikka Costa entry, and I felt that this site was superior to at least one, if not two of the links given.

== Bus Terminal ==
I agree, it's absurdly hard to get a good angle from street level, or anything less than from within a building, for that matter. The same goes for the Port Authority bus terminal. Your photo looks really good, considering the difficulties associated with trying to capture that architecture from street level. It's sure better than the photo we had before (e.g. none). Of course, I'm not trying to stop you from taking a better photo, but that would be really hard from ground level. 

As for the 175th St. station, the line infoboxes state the next station north or south on each line passing through the station. So, for 168th St, for example, the next station north would only be listed the A train, but the next station south would be listed for both the A and the C train. I know it might seem a little counterintuitive at first glance, but it allows you to follow the flow of a train line (conceivably by clicking on each station down the line.) I hope that clears things up. Thanks a lot for your great work!

Thanks for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:64.122.15.114&redirect=no note] on image uploading and encouragement. Must fight "the Man" IE wikipedia's verification, NOR and NPOV Nazis who seem to take everything as a violation unless you've got like upteen billion references. However, they also seem to confuse [[Physics]] and [[Cultural anthropology]], especially with regard to ''belief'' about physical processes ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_Discharge_Machining_in_Space EDM in Space]). Wikipedia doesn't care about ''truth'' of beliefs, only that they are documented. The ''belief'' about a physical process is NOT tantamount to a proof of its existence (despite anecdotal references in support). I'm only arguing for the ''belief'' or (concept) interpretation [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Electrical_Discharge_Machining_in_Space EDM i Space marked for deletion], since it's a central tenet of another belief system and has no article partaining to it.

I don't think the addition of a meticulously-sourced, neutrally-worded and entirely truthful section to Clan's userpage constitutes "vandalism"; the true problem, in Clan's eyes, comes from the fact that it reveals some nasty truths about him that he'd rather have kept under wraps. Furthermore, he's not exactly an innocent himself; he's repeatedly removed comments that show him or his behaviour in a negative light (including but by no means limited to personal attacks) from his talk page, which I recently reinstated, on one occasion [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crash_Team_Racing&diff=prev&oldid=70053924 altered an article to fit his beliefs], maintains a list of enemies on his userpage, and appears to be using his userpage as a [[User:Clan rHrN/Psycho Bonus Stage|personal]] [[User:Clan rHrN/Wikihood|hosting/publishing]] [[User:Clan rHrN/Clanrulez|site]].

You need to give a vandal some new warnings to block him.  One from weeks ago won't do--at least with me.  If you come across someone with an old "final warning", give them a fresh one and then report them if they vandalize afterwards.

:Yes, the mo justifies you in going straight to a final warning and reporting him on the next vandalism.  (I'm not trying to be difficult, but if you want quick admin action on something like this, make it easy for us.  When I get a report, I go to their talk page to see if they've been warned; then I go to their contributions to see if they've edited since the warning; then I go to the post-warning edit to see if it is indeed vandalism.  That takes me 15 seconds if it's done right and then I can get to the next vandal on the list.

== Do not contact Interactivate for now ==

You could get in trouble for doing this, even though it seems justified. I don't have the policies in front of me, but I know this has gotten some editors in deep trouble when the folks they report get fired. I wish I could remember what the policy was -- I wanted to get to you before you did anything.

I think something should be done along these lines, but I suggest you go first to [[WP:ANI]] and get others involved.

For what it's worth, I'm absolutely on your side -- I just don't want ''you'' to be the one that gets burned. --[[User:A. B.|A. B.]] 18:41, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

:This person has subsequently been blocked -- see [[User talk:63.80.97.254‎]].

Hello. I thought I could release the image to the Public Domain as I did some modifications to the picture using Microsoft Paint (removing some text, resizing the picture etc.), and because that is the same picture he used in public areas all around the country to publicize himself. Still, It doesn't really matter to me whether it is deleted or not, as I understand it is better to have a picture removed than to face some lawsuit because of copyrights.

Is there any reason I'm getting a hard time about my photographs of Highbridge Park? I find this copyright issue far too confusing. By the way, I see you are from WaHi. Have you ever been to that park? Isn't it amazing?

==Faust==
Yeah hi. You're off the mark with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:OR] but I can see it could appear this way. The statement is pretty much verbatim from the Oxford edition's introduction. Unfortunetely the guy does not cite which scholars except to suggest it is mostly critics from the beginning of the 20th c. In any case I think it's reasonable just to cite the introduction in this edition. Can you provide me a link to a guide to making citations on Wikipedia - conventions templates etc. Thanks, [[User:Leonig Mig|Leonig Mig]] 17:39, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
: Thanks for the link to the citation template - I will sort that bit out. Here's the thing about Faust though- the whole story is epic and fantastical and when you get to the end it just goes plain weird. The ending it noteworthy in that it goes completely against the original legend. I think a lot of people stuggle to understand or make themselves feel comfortable with the ending of part II - it's almost immoral! The way the Oxford edition conveys this is by saying that historically commentators have found it "glib". I think I can come up with a better way of conveying this (cited if necessary) but I do think it is important to include in an encyclopedia article on this subject. Thanks again.

== Rafael Correa article correction ==

Hi!

I want o know why my correction to designate the FARC as a terrorist group instead of a leftist rebels was reversed? Is any wikipedia policy? 


From the FARC page in wikipedia:

"The FARC is considered a terrorist group by the Colombian government, the United States[1], Canada[2] and the European Union.[3][4] Cuba and Venezuela instead refer to the leftist rebels as “insurgents”.[citation needed] "



Why did you reversed the terrorist designation if only 2 countries avoid calling them terrorists?, and theres even lack of citation on this 2 countries doing this

This is my first correction, want to know why it was not taken into account.

Sure. If you look a bit deeper into the page history, you'd see that this section was removed with a summary that stated it can be reinstated when it's better referenced. Which is not reason enough to remove an entire section without discussion unless there's objectionable or highly dubious material in it. In this case neither seems valid.

== RE: Civility ==

Sorry? Sometimes I can't control myself when dealing with idiots on wikipedia. There's a lot of them, no doubt. I'm mostly civil even when running into blatant vandals or people who just want to bring down wikipedia, etc. But sometimes...there's just somebody so stupid that comes along trying to espouse their views on others and won't accept, "no," for an answer. That's where the bitchslap comes in. You gotta just slap 'em a little with your words and wake them up. Y'know? Smell the daisies or w/e. Because some people don't learn. They want you to accept what they say when they have no proof, no sources and worse, no logic behind their reasoning. So sometimes I just say, "Hey, stop. Calm down for a second. Ok? You're an idiot and you need to realize it and stop. So we can all get on with actual shit that matters." If you didn't guess it by now, evrything I've just said was intended to be humorous (albeit true to some degree). Nice Manowar shirt.

==A&F Image==
Yeah, I see although I do not know how did place that image their becaues it has been there since 2007. It has been a really long time and it is strange how all those constant editors who go into the A&F article did not bother to notice this. In so saying, it perfectly illustrates what the section it is found in talks about. Nevertheless, you are right. It may be a good image but...ohh those tags! Well, all I can say is that I do not know. I believe that it is a technical error for my name to be on this image because I thought kudos for the person who placed that image there. In fact, the person had originally placed it in soem random section. So I went in and moved it to its current spot. IDK1 Why don't you take this little discussion to the ''Discussion'' tab and see what happens. If it has to be deleted, then "boo hoo" but whta can one do?

== Vandalism and you ==

Hi! Thanks for reporting vandalism to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=242171472 AIV]! Just a quick note on [[IP address]]es; most often, an IP address is shared between many people, or is dynamic, meaning that it rotates through a network provider's clientbase every so often. For this reason, blocking an IP indefinitely requires extreme circumstances. I hope that makes sense, [[User:Master of Puppets|<span style="color:#777">'''M'''aster '''o'''f '''P'''uppets</span>]] [[User talk:Master of Puppets|<sub style="color:#777">Call me MoP! :)</sub>]] 05:27, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Adding information is not vandalism as long as it's correct. Maybe you thought I was adding nonsense, but take a walk to the school bus lot near the Wilson Southern Jr. High and Cornwall Terrace Elementary School, and you'll see what I mean.

Hi, thanks for your message.  I just wasn't sure which warning templates to apply.

==Jean Simmons==
Hi, I notice you've removed an image from the infobox a couple of times with the comment that it's being removed as an unfree image of a living person.   I think that's a really good thing to do, and I'd be removing it myself if it was unfree, but this particular image is free, and if you click on the image itself, it is linked to Commons.  I'm going to replace it.   Also you asked about why the "replace this image" had been removed.   There has apparently been a discussion at [[Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Image placeholders]] with the decision being made to stop using it.   I didn't know about that discussion either, and I don't really agree with it, but I see it's being used as the reason for removing it from other articles.   [[User:Rossrs|Rossrs]] ([[User talk:Rossrs|talk]]) 20:59, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

:I don't see it as a loophole.  The image is either subject to copyright or it's not, and in any case, clicking on the image description page to check its status is going to help prevent disputes, rather than assuming something is unfree and removing it without checking.  I'm not sure what you mean about giving clearer edit summaries.  My edit summary was "restoring free image. image is from a public domain film trailer, not the copyrighted film, and is linked from Commons".  I'm not sure what else I could have said.  I didn't restore it on the previous edits so maybe you're confusing me with another editor.  [[User:Rossrs|Rossrs]] ([[User talk:Rossrs|talk]]) 06:57, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

== Spelling of "Web site" versus "website" ==

Seidenstud,

Dictionaries I have referenced allow both spellings.  When it pertains to recent terms, I don't consider the venerable OED as the ultimate authority, especially when there is countervailing reasoning.
  
I prefer the "Web site" over "website".  Why?  Firstly, the former maintains the capitalization of the noun from which the term is derived.  The Web is a proper noun, short for "World Wide Web" (nevermind that it should have been Worldwide Web).  The Web is a singular instance, whereas "web" (as in "spider web") is a member of a class.  Similarly, "Internet" should be capitalized because it is a proper noun, while "intranet" is not.  Consider also "some of Earth's surface consists of earth".

Secondly, while the German convention is to slur nouns to form new nouns (often leading to nouns so lengthy that many people would deem them monstrosities), the English convention is to create noun phrases that use one or more nouns to modify another.
  
If we adopted the slurred-noun policy, we'd write "webaddress", "webpage", "websearchengine", "webportal", and so on.  We'd write "streetaddress", "streetnumber", "streetintersection", and so on.  That policy makes using an abbreviated form on subsequent references (like "portal" instead of "webportal") awkward.

An aside: we didn't need the geekish "blog" when "Web log" sufficed (and is self explanatory!).  But it's too late . . .
  
Best wishes,

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/July 2010‎|Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive]]. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the <nowiki>{{copyedit}}</nowiki> tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to [[WP:Reviewing|review other users' edits]] on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a [[WP:Pending changes|two-month trial]] scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not [[wp:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]] to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only [[Special:StablePages|a small number of articles]], similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at [[Special:OldReviewedPages]].

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious [[WP:VAND|vandalism]] or [[WP:BLP|BLP violations]], and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see [[Wikipedia:Reviewing process]]). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found [[WP:Pending changes|here]].

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. <!-- Template:Reviewer-notice --> [[User:Courcelles|Courcelles]] ([[User talk:Courcelles|talk]]) 18:32, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words".

Greetings from the [[WP:GOCE|Guild of Copy Editors]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2012|March 2012 Backlog elimination drive]]! Here's the mid-drive newsletter.</br>

'''Participation''':
We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2012#Participants|Join us]]!

'''Progress report''':
Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far.

'''Special thanks''':
Special thanks to [[User:Stfg|Stfg]], who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers.

----
Greetings from the [[WP:GOCE|Guild of Copy Editors]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2012|March 2012 Backlog elimination drive]]! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter.</br>

'''Participation'''

Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to '''[[User:Lfstevens|Lfstevens]]''', who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months.

'''Progress report'''

During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2012/Barnstars|here]].

When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{tp|GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators.

Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May.

The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September.

'''Copy Edit of the Month''': Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon.

For the first blitz, we'll start with [[WP:WikiProject Olympics|WikiProject Olympics]] and [[WP:WikiProject Albums|WikiProject Albums]] and add more Projects to the blitz as we clear them.

Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in 2011 and to complete all requests placed before the end of October. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in 2011", and "Longest article".

*'''Participation''': Out of 31 people signed up for this drive so far, 22 have copy-edited at least one article. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, every bit helps; if you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. {{nowrap|[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2012#Signing up|Join us]]!}}
*'''Progress report''': We're on track to meet our targets for the drive. We have reduced our target group of articles—November and December 2011—by over 50%, and 34 of the the 56 requests made in September and October this year have already been fulfilled. However, the rate of tagging for copy edit has increased, and this month we are just keeping the size of the backlog stable. So, all you copy editors, please do come along and help us!

Runner up was [[User:Gareth Griffith-Jones|Gareth Griffith-Jones]] for his edit of [[I Could Fall in Love]]. Congratulations to both.

*'''Seasonal oversight''': We had a slight fall from grace in the title of our last newletter, which mentioned the season in the northern hemisphere and thus got it wrong for the southern. Fortunately an observant GOCE member was ready to spring into action to advise us. Thanks! In future we'll stay meteorologically neutral.

[[File:Writing Magnifying.PNG|100px|right]]

*'''Participation''': Out of 30 people who have signed up for this drive so far, 18 have participated. If you have signed up for the drive but have not yet participated, it isn't too late. If you haven't signed up for the drive, sign up now!
[[File:We Can Do It!.jpg|100px|right]]

*'''Progress report''': Thus far we have reduced the number of May/June 2012 articles to just 124 articles, so we're on the right track. Unfortunately, for the first time in GOCE history, the number of articles in the backlog has actually gone up during this drive. While all participants are currently doing a fine job, we just don't have as many of them as we have had in the past.  We have over 500 editors on our mailing list, but only 18 editors who have done a copy edit for the drive. If you're receiving this newsletter, it's because you have an interest in copy editing. Join the drive! Even if you only copy edit one article, it helps.  Imagine how much progress we could make if everyone chipped in just one article.

== Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest ==

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/November 2013|November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest]], on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day ([https://tools.wmflabs.org/dplbot/ch/dab_challenge.php see the project page for details on scoring points]). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely <i>nine</i> edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I <i>will</i> credit links fixed by turning a [[WP:DABCONCEPT]] page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/The Daily Disambig|Daily Disambig]], we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers!

Join us for a full Sunday of social Wikipedia editing at the [[Center for Jewish History]] (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to Women in Jewish History.

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. 

Expanding coverage of Jewish women on Wikipedia makes these women and their creations discoverable, addresses the gender bias on Wikipedia in a positive way, and works to correct imbalances archival collecting practice and institutional projects that have historically silenced women's narratives.

A training session on editing Wikipedia will be held at 12:30 pm. Experienced Wikipedians will be on-hand to assist throughout the day. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand. 

Light refreshments will be provided.

Make edits! Ask questions! Be bold!

The Museum of Modern Art and Fundacion Cisneros/Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros are uniting with international allies to focus on the lives and works of Latin American artists, architects and designers.  With keystone events scheduled for October 22 in New York City and other cities throughout the month (Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Caracas, & others), the campaign aims to further similar goals to [[Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism|Art+Feminism]].

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required.

For this month, we'll focus on Wikipedia casual editing, ways to use and develop [[Wikidata]], building better [[edit-a-thon]] tools for a variety of different thematic campaigns, and user-testing them with the community.  Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.

The '''Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met''' will be the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]]'s second edit-a-thon, hosted on '''Sunday November 19, 2017''' in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.

Following the first Met edit-a-thon in May 2017, the museum is excited to work with [[meta:Wikipedia Asian Month 2017/Asian Art|Wikipedia Asian Month]] for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of [[Asia]]. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely.
