Did you know...

Did you know that you have your Internationalisation preference set to "She edits wiki pages" (yeah!), but you aren't a member of Category:Female Wikipedians? I hope that you'll add yourself! Lightbreather (talk) 23:56, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Test Kaffeeklatsch area for women-only

Since WikiProject Women as proposed at the IdeaLab may take some time to realize, and based on a discussion on the proposal's talk page, I have started a test Kaffeeklatsch area for women (cisgender or trans-woman, regardless of sexual orientation) only. If interested, your participation would be most welcome. Lightbreather (talk) 19:40, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

I managed to find a dead URL from the archive. You can read this and copy edit the Chicago Sun-Times statement. --George Ho (talk) 00:34, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks; since I'm busy with another article, I trust that the sentence reflects the source. Feel free to remove the {{Dead link}} tag. All the best, Miniapolis 00:41, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Camas pocket gopher

I'm a little overdue to send a thank you your way for your work on "my" article. So...Thank you! --Gaff (talk) 00:39, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Always glad to help, and my remark about its cuteness was in response to your quote that it was "morose and solitary" (or something like that :-)). Good luck and all the best, Miniapolis 02:24, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
