Precious
"teamwork is the main point of a wiki"
Thank you for quality articles such as William Connolley, 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America and I Like Pumpkins, for beginning Joy to the World, for {{birth date and age}}, for a user page full of thoughts including "teamwork, which - duh! - is the main point of a wiki", for service from the very beginning, - Ed, you are an awesome Wikipedian!
--Gerda Arendt (talk) 00:01, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, I had completely forgotten I Like Pumpkins, but it took me a couple of tries to get William Connolley - my old sparring partner on global warming - everyone wanted to delete him. Screwing up America was fun, because it spawned nearly 100 articles as people tried to fill in the red links. My favorite is birth date and age, because now I can say I wrote software that's been used by a billion people worldwide! --Uncle Ed (talk) 22:54, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- Well, I met William Connolley just recently again when he brought bad news. I use the template a lot! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:01, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

| Thursday April 4 and Friday April 5: Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College | |
 Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City. New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events. | |

The article Michael McElroy (scientist) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Nomination of Race and intelligence for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Race and intelligence is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Race and intelligence (4th nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Sirfurboy (talk) 06:44, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
