Candidates 46 and 47

What exactly is 4chan? Is this why candidates #46 and 47 are out of the table? The spesh man 02:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Fundraising Committee

Hi there! Thanks for volunteering to sit on the Fundraising committee. The work of the committee will be really valuable to making this year's annual giving campaign really effective. I've posted an overview to Fundraising 2010, and would love your thoughts on the talk page. I'm also going to try to set up an IRC meeting soon, and hope you'll join for that. Keep an eye Fundraising 2010/Committee for a couple of proposed times! Thanks again... Philippe (WMF) 18:26, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Meeting

Hi all,

I'd like to have a meeting on IRC this week to discuss the 2010-2011 annual appeal/fundraiser. This will be an "anyone is welcome" type meeting, open to the broad community. During this, Zack Exley and I will take you through our inital thoughts about the fundraiser and its organization, and ask you to join us in a discussion about the (massive) role of volunteers and chapters in this year's fundraiser.

Because of the vagaries of time zones, scheduling live meetings is hard. So, we'll have a couple of potential times, and we'll log and post the meeting for anyone who wasn't able to make it.

The meetings will be held Thursday, 12 August at 23:00 UTC (16:00 PDT) and Friday, 13 August at 16:30 UTC (09:30 PDT) in the #wikimedia-fundraising channel on the freenode network on IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/wikimedia-fundraising). You can access this using freenode's webclient, which is available at http://webchat.freenode.net/ or by using your favorite IRC client.

Hope to see you there! Philippe (WMF) 20:40, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Your RfA

Hi there!

I just closed your RfA as not successful as it fails 1) the contact criteria menioned by Kylu on the RfA and 2) the supporting percentage is below 75% which is the required percentage to pass a RfA. I think it might be more useful for you to request temporary adminrights for the duration of the fundraiser. Thanks for understanding. -Barras 21:20, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi there again. I've granted you the admin right per the temp RfA. It will be removed on 31 January 2011. -Barras 09:30, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! Kaldari 00:42, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations, Dear Administrator!

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades... (our budget is smaller than Commons)

Kaldari, congratulations! You now have the rights of administrator on Meta. Please take a moment to read the Meta:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat, and Meta:Requests for deletion, but also Talk:Spam blacklist and Talk:Interwiki map), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings, or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care.

A tip: add this page Meta:Administrators' discussion index to your watchlist, it tracks the latest activity to various sections of many of the important pages.

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-admin @ irc.freenode.net. You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading although it doesn't always completely apply here at Meta.

Please also check or add your entry to Meta:Administrators#List_of_administrators and the Template:List of administrators.

editing the interface on enwiktionary

Hi. You made a recent change to [[en:wikt:mediawiki:Common.js]]. Your request for the global editinterface permission was so you could "edit Mediawiki namespace pages" on "smaller wikis". Enwikt has planty of active admins who could have made the change. I (personally; I'm not writing this as a representative of an enwikt consensus or anything) would appreciate your posting future edits to be made at [[en:wikt:WT:GP]] instead of making them (unless they're urgent) — or at least posting to the GP a notice that you had made the edits. (See also [[en:wikt:WT:GP#an_edit_to_Common.js]].) Thanks!—msh210@enwikt 18:45, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

I quoted you on Wikiversity

Unicode

Hi,

I just see that you are now Wikimedia's respresentative to Unicode. Congratulations.

What is your job there? For example, from time to time, on the french Wikisource, we found on our books character that are not in Unicode. Is that something that you can act?

Thanks

Thank you for your work elsewhere. It is really necessary and I hope you can make a difference. Ottava Rima (talk) 01:58, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Copyright problem with File:Kaldari-shoulders-143px.png

Thank you for uploading File:Kaldari-shoulders-143px.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at this page. Thanks again for your cooperation. 77.184.146.157 22:33, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

CentralNotice upgrades

Hi. I'm trying to clean up/centralize CentralNotice-related pages and I came across this page. I like the general idea, but it's now a bit dated. What do you think of moving it to CentralNotice/Future or something of that nature? I've subpaged a few other pages and collected them in a neater format at CentralNotice. Let me know. --MZMcBride 17:25, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Simple English Wikipedia

You posted a note on simple talk asking if Simple English Wikipedia wished to participate in the SOPA "protest". The current state of discussion is 9 opposed and 8 in favor. I don't know the status of your implementation plans or who is the proper person to deliver a "decision" to you. But I thought that I should alert you to the discussion. Thanks, 98.141.198.236 16:11, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

CentralNotice/Calendar

hello, I've disabled this Pune Hackathon banner because it's not on the calendar. Per CentralNotice/Usage guidelines, please ask whoever told you to create it to add it to the calendar. Nobody's fault and nothing worth any drama here, and I'm not against this banner, but people must be given the opportunity to comment it at least for a day or so; or, given that we might be late, at least some hours. Thanks, Nemo 11:28, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

If the banner is country-specific, it makes sense to send a small note to the community mailing list (in this case, the India mailing list) so that proposed centralnotice banners can be discussed on wiki. As of now, the presence of another brand ("GNUnify") alongside Wikimedia Hackathon makes me uncomfortable. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 11:32, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Real quick

https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NoticeTemplate/view&template=B12_0925_btPf_US is referencing a non-existent file (https://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.17/common/images/closewindow.png). Just throwing this here very quickly so I don't forget to investigate later. (And I'm also completely unsure whether fundraising banners are still your area.) --MZMcBride (talk) 16:38, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

This is still a problem. Helder 23:13, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

These banners should switch to using "//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/foundation/2/20/CloseWindow19x19.png" (which will not disappear). Unfortunately, I'm not in charge of fundraising banners. You might want to ping User:Pgehres (WMF). Kaldari (talk) 05:46, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
