The issue edit

So, there is a reference to the census, which comes exclusively from the infobox on the right. How do I cite the exact same reference without creating a new reference? --Battlefield1181 (talk) 02:18, 19 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Apologies that I tried to answer this, then realised I didn't quite understand the issue..so I undid my reply. This is attempt 2. I see - that reference is named in {{Infobox Pittsburgh neighborhood}}. Looking at the code, it names the reference <ref name="pgh_census_2000">. So, you can just use that.

If I put...

 Test.<ref name="pgh_census_2000"/>

It produces;

Test.[1]

And reflist will show;

References edit

  1. ^ a b c "Census: Pittsburgh" (PDF). Pittsburgh Department of City Planning. January 2006. Retrieved 2007-07-19. Cite error: The named reference "pgh_census_2000" was defined multiple times with different content (see the help page).

I had to move that reflist to the end (from where you'd put it, above) - otherwise this would not work, as it'd be classed as a separate set of references. Chzz  ►  02:52, 19 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

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) 15:02, 1 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh activity edit

Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh is rolling out some new features (see our discussions at WT:PITTSBURGH). We are also trying to determine how many members are active, and interested in contributing to Pittsburgh content or coming to our real life meetups to discuss Wikipedia in general. 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 20:13, 26 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop at CMU (Aug 15) edit

Since you are a member of the Wikipedia:WikiProject University of Pittsburgh, I'd like to invite you to the Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop that will take place at CMU on Aug 15 (this workshop is open to general public, and is a joint imitative of CMU and Pitt). There will be another workshop held at Pitt in the Fall as well. It will cover how to include Wikipedia in one's course (WP:SUP) and also how to become a Wikipedia:Campus Ambassadors. Pennsylvania has currently only one ambassador (myself) and it would be great if we could recruit at least several more. Ambassadors help course instructors, showing them how Wikipedia works, and interact with students. Many current ambassadors come from the body of students, faculty and university staff; it is a fun adventure, and adds to one resume/CV, to boot :) If it sounds interesting, feel free to ask me any questions, or to come to the workshop. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:34, 9 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
