Hello

It's nice to see another anarcha-feminist around. I had the same annoyance about the default feminist userbox, so I've created a Template:User feminist-alt if you'd prefer to use that instead. Also, if you're interested there's (finally) a WikiProject Gender Studies which needs all the help it can get. Sarge Baldy 22:38, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

By the way your magazine/website looks cool. I like how you don't have to register to read articles. --Mistress Selina Kyle ^{(Α⇔Ω ¦ ⇒✉)} 11:32, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

I have noticed a number of times people are coming to this website, and adding links to as many articles as possible from LiP Magazine before they are warned. Please make your co-workers/editors aware that this is known as spamming, and is not appreciated by much of the wikipedia community. Thank you, Makemi 18:15, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

No problem. Another user decided that some of those articles were really useful, so he replaced them. I just get frustrated when people link things which don't have relevance, and when all that person does is link to the same website it looks like spamming to me, but I understand that people could also be adding useful material. I was wrong in assuming the second time that the person was not adding relevant links. Thanks for your work on that magazine, it does look like a good resource. Makemi 15:10, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Research survey invitation

Greetings DinoMo-

My name is Randall Livingstone, and I am a doctoral student at the University of Oregon, studying digital media and online community. I am posting to invite you to participate in my research study exploring the work of Wikipedia editors who are members of WikiProject: Countering Systemic Bias. The online survey should take 20 to 25 minutes to complete and can be found here:

https://oregon.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_cSHzuwaQovaZ6ss

Your responses will help online communication researchers like me to better understand the collaborations, challenges, and purposeful work of Wikipedia editors like you. In addition, at the end of the survey you will have the opportunity to express your interest in a follow-up online interview with the researcher.

This research project has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Research Committee as well as the Office for Protection of Human Subjects at the University of Oregon. For a detailed description of the project, please visit its Meta page. This survey is voluntary, and your confidentiality will be protected. You will have the choice of using your Wikipedia User Name during the research or creating a unique pseudonym. You may skip any question you choose, and you may withdraw at any time. By completing the survey, you are providing consent to participate in the research.

If you have any questions about the study, please contact me via my Talk Page (UOJComm) or via email. My faculty advisor is Dr. Ryan Light. If you have any questions regarding your rights as a research participant, please contact the Office for Protection of Human Subjects at the University of Oregon.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

You should come hang out with us on the internetz!

Hi! I wanted to let you know that we have created an IRC channel for "countering systemic bias one new editor at a time", aka closing the gender gap! Come hang out at #wikimedia-gendergap if that subject interests you. We hope this channel can serve as a safe haven to hang out, talk about Wiki, brainstorming, women in Wikimedia, article alerts and foster friendships. I hope you join us! (And if you need any IRC help, just let me know!) See you there! SarahStierch (talk) 22:09, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
