Travel Guide Naming Process

states that "Affected Travel Community Members" ..." may vote from any one registered account you own on a qualified wiki (you may only vote once, regardless of how many accounts you own). Please provide a backlink to a contribution history with no fewer than 25 edits on an affected travel community site. To qualify, this account must":

1. not be a bot; and
2. have made at least 25 edits there.

This is the requisite backlink: http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/W._Frank --W. Frank^e-mail_talk 20:23, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Out of line

this is out of line. First of all, you brought it up, not me, and I'm done letting you simply cast your aspersions without responding to them. Second of all, you owe everyone an explanation of your "your club's personal vendetta" line; either justify it or quit it. LtPowers (talk) 22:38, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

And so is this.

Try not to lose sight of the ball:

State clearly whether the two things I proposed (and others have agreed with) is a "good idea" or a "bad idea" and why, please - and stop doing lazy and sloppy reverts on good faith edits. If there is something you object to, then edit that to change it - and be prepared to justify your edit. --W. Frank^e-mail_talk 23:45, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Or you could stop using the tactic of interspersing good edits with bad ones so that those of us with better things to do don't have to tediously pick through change-by-change and selectively revert. LtPowers (talk) 12:32, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Un grazie e un libro sulla conoscenza libera per te

Wikimedia Italia

Gentile W. Frank,

oggi ti scrivo a nome dell'associazione Wikimedia Italia per ringraziarti del tempo che hai dedicato ai progetti Wikimedia.

Come piccolo omaggio avremmo piacere di spedirti una copia (tutta in carta riciclata) del libro di Carlo Piana, Open source, software libero e altre libertà. Fornisci un recapito per ricevere una copia del libro.

Pochi giorni fa il mondo ha festeggiato la giornata dell'amore per il software libero, ma ogni giorno è buono per ricordare le garanzie delle licenze libere e le centinaia di migliaia di persone che si sono unite per costruire questo bene comune della conoscenza. Speriamo che questo libro ti sia utile per apprezzare quanto hai fatto e per trasmettere la passione della conoscenza libera a una persona a te vicina.

Se desideri una copia ma non puoi fornirci un indirizzo a cui spedirla, contatta la segreteria Wikimedia Italia e troviamo una soluzione insieme.

Grazie ancora e a presto,

Lorenzo Losa (msg) 14:50, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
