The Wikipedia Library: New Account Coordinators Needed

Hi Books & Bytes recipients: The Wikipedia Library has been expanding rapidly and we need some help! We currently have 10 signups for free account access open and several more in the works... In order to help with those signups, distribute access codes, and manage accounts we'll need 2-3 more Account Coordinators.

It takes about an hour to get up and running and then only takes a couple hours per week, flexible depending upon your schedule and routine. If you're interested in helping out, please drop a note in the next week at my talk page or shoot me an email at: jorlowitz gmail.com. Thanks and cheers, Jake Ocaasi via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 23:41, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Madeleine Collinson

Hello. I see that you are a member of WikiProject Malta. I've found a few non-RS that state that Madeleine Collinson has died. I'd like to include her death in the article but would also like a reliable source to back it up with. Her article states that she moved back to Malta at some point. Do you know of a Maltese reliable source that might mention her death? As I said, I can't find one in English. Thanks, Dismas|(talk) 06:12, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi @Dismas: - I'm sorry to hear that Madeleine Collinson has died. The only Maltese reliable source for such information is the Times of Malta but a quick search doesn't reveal any such news, not even in the paid announcements, which are rather popular with that newspaper. Knowing her married name may help, particularly because she may be listed as something other than by her former name, which is associated with a past career that she never spoke about publicly during the last two or three decades. Regretfully, I don't know her married name, so I probably can't be of much more help on this. Good luck! --ToniSant (talk) 09:51, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
