That's a very nice picture of Katse Dam! Now, may I ask that when you upload your media to Wikipedia, that you do so on Wikimedia Commons? That way us at the Portuguese wiki (and others) could easily use your material, too! Many thanks. From a fan of South Africa, Tintazul msg 09:33, 26 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, Beest! -- Tintazul msg 17:34, 2 July 2006 (UTC)Reply


Dealing with vandals of Stoke-on-Trent

edit

Hello, I've noticed your quick and welcome work in reverting some recent vandalism of Stoke-on-Trent. I've put appropriate warnings on the user's talk page and then, following the procedure, reported the IP address to administrators who may take appropriate action. I wondered if you might like to consider doing this yourself when you deal with vandalism? If so, you need to go to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism and read the advice in the big green box, and then make use of the appropriate warning templates (link given in the big green box) until the trigger level is reached.  DDS  talk 01:33, 19 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in London

edit
 
Wikimedia UK logo

Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008

Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map

More information: Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12


Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

London Wikimedia Fundraiser

edit

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 18:05, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
