Thanks & Foto Idea edit

Peter, thanks for the copyedit of the History of Pittsburgh article. I'll be submitting it for peer review in a week or so. Your going-over of the article helped get it in shape.

I notice from your sign-on notes at Wikiproject Pittsburgh that you're interested in contributing fotos to the project. I have one requirement in mind. In the main Pittsburgh article, the foto we're using for the Demographic section shows a crowd at a Steeler game. You can mainly just see the terrible towels. This is an OK foto for this purpose, but a better one would be one that shows more faces in a crowd, especially if the racial mix of the people reflected the demographics of the city. Ideally, there'd be some Pittsburgh landmark in the background. I have in mind a crowd crossing a bridge after a ball game, or a bunch of lunch-time traffic in PGG Place, or something like that. I hope that you'll keep this requirement in mind and if you ever have a chance to snap such a foto, that you'll contribute it to Wikicommons so we can use it. Just an idea.

Pittsburgh event for Wikipedia's tenth anniversary edit

Hi! Since you're a member of WikiProject Pittsburgh, I wanted to invite you to the Wikipedia Tenth Anniversary celebrations we're having in Pittsburgh on Saturday, January 15. During the daytime, we're going to be having a photo contribution drive where anyone can bring in their digital photos or prints and Wikipedians will teach people how to upload them and add them to articles, and maybe introduction to Wikipedia workshops as well. Then in the evening, we'll have fun at the Carson City Saloon. There will be free Wikipedia t-shirts and other goodies, as well. See the Pittsburgh meetup page for more details. I hope to see you there!--ragesoss (talk) 14:39, 1 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference edit

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:23, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh activity edit

Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh is rolling out some new features (see our discussion at WT:PITTSBURGH). We are also trying to determine how many members are active. If you could go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh/Members and move your name from inactive to the active or semi-active group (depending on your interest in Pittsburgh issue and overall activity) groups, this would be great. Hopefully in a near future you'll also receive our first newsletter with various information on what we have been doing, and what useful tools are available. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:56, 26 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
