Nomination of Howard Besser for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Howard Besser is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Howard Besser until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Ejg930 (talk) 19:21, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Invitation to Admin confidence survey

Hello,

Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.

The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.

To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.

We really appreciate your input!

Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

editing

Hi Laura, editing is going great. Sometimes it is hard to read the code in the editor screen. But other than that everything is going well! Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Westma1985 (talk • contribs) 21:30, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Thanks for coordinating Wikipedia:Meetup/UMass Amherst/Black-women-suffragists. I put the event in Category:Wiki Loves Open Access Week 2017. I know there are several of these events happening but there is no central coordination. I have some unsolicited advice - we in NYC use the dashboard to track events. If you wish, use it for yours. Using it means posting this link to the meetup page and getting participants to click on it. If you do this, then you get a report of outcomes and media metrics. We use these reports as evidence to institutions of the impact of the event. It is easy to set up, but since the event is tomorrow, I made an event page for you. Use it or not as you like. Even if you choose to not use it during the event, after the fact if you wish, you could add participant usernames to the interface to generate a report. click here to register for the event Thanks for doing an open access event.

Thanks, Bluerasberry -- We actually did set up a dashboard, here: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/UMass_Amherst/Black_women_suffragists -- it is our first time using it, so we'll need to figure that out. But thank you so much for getting involved -- I didn't know about Wiki loves OA week, for instance. --Lquilter (talk) 20:08, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Great, glad you are using it. If you want to chat by phone or video about the dashboard sometime then let's talk after. Good luck with your event. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:24, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of environmental periodicals, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Unity College (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
