ISCB Wikipedia competition 2017 - final stretch edit

Hi Biobeth, thanks for signing up as a participant in the ISCB Wikipedia competition. The period for eligible edits will end on December 31 (UTC), just over four weeks from now. On behalf of the organizers, I would like to encourage you to move forward along this final stretch of the event: as a reminder, your claimed article is Conserved sequence. If you've any questions or comments, I would be happy to read them on my talk page, or on the competition talk page. Thanks, and good luck! Amkilpatrick (talk) 09:38, 1 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

On that note, I'd like to say you've greatly improved Conserved sequence, but that some claims remain uncited ... Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:43, 30 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay edit

 
Golden Bay Air are holding some seats for us until 21 November

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
