I am curious...

... why the Clement Haupers was tagged as a Wiki Loves Pride article. I don't see any content related to LGBT studies. Should the article be marked as part of WikiProject LGBT studies?

Contests

User:Dr. Blofeld has created Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:22, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Suggested edits for Hilary Rosen

Hello! A couple weeks ago I posted a suggested edit to the Hilary Rosen talk page, specifically proposing an expansion of the Early life section, based on reliable sources I've provided. Since no one has yet responded, nor at the couple of wikiprojects I've posted to, and I see from the article history you are among the most significant contributors to the entry, I figured I would ask. FWIW, I have a financial conflict of interest and prefer not to edit directly; my fuller disclosure and more details about what I think is wrong with the current article is here. Thanks for your consideration, and let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 11:31, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

As it happens, another editor I'd reached out to has implemented the suggestion. The article still needs a lot of work, so I'll be posting another request in a day or two. If you're open to helping out, feel free to come join the discussion. Best, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 17:02, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Gobonobo. I've posted a second request here if you are interested and willing to help. Thanks for your consideration. WWB Too (Talk · COI) 21:56, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 350 articles in just six days. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and contribute to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thankyou.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:22, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Invitation from Wikipedia Asian Month 2016

Thanks for partipating Wikipedia Asian Month last year, and I hope you enjoy it. Last year, more than 7,000 articles contribute to Wikipedia in 43 languages in Wikipedia Asian Month, making us one of the largest event on Wikipedia. We will organize this event again in upcoming November, and would like to invite you join us again.

This year, we are lowering down the standards that you only need to create 4 (Four) articles to receive a postcard (new design), and articles only need to be more than 3,000 bytes and 300 words. We are also improving our postcard sending process, e.g. making the postcards right now, and collecting the address after the event ends without waiting other languges.

Wikipedians who create the most articles on each Wikipedia will be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Ambassadors". We will send you both digital copy, and a paper copy of the Ambassador certificate.

Thank you for considering! --AddisWang (talk)
