The whole article needs some help, but an area that surely needs citation is Tea_culture#Middle_East_and_Africa. :) SarahStierch (talk) 07:04, 13 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Oof, you are surely right, but I'm not convinced I've got the stomach for that one yet...I don't quite get why there should be one big conglomerate "culture" article on that topic in the first place, actually, do you?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Shadia Mansour, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Palestinian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

application support our projects in Algeria

edit

we found your email address in the page of Idealab, and we have the idea to contact you to help us make this project a reality

we are a group of Wikipedians Algerian we run several small initiatives projects in Algeria, all in the spirit of projects of the Wikimedia foundation in the world.

For this, we need to host a Web site that will talk about our volunteer work in the dissemination of knowledge, free and open

if you do not see any objections, we ask the permission of the wikimedia foundation, to use wikimedia-dz.com

Of course, there will be a disclamer mention, in the site "Disclaimer Wikimedia blog Algeria is independent of the Wikimedia Foundation. The Wikimedia association is not responsible for the publications on this site. "

currently we are very active on draft wikipedia Arab and French wikipedia, and we are currently launching incubator Algerian wikipedia, we launched the wikipedia education program at the university and the contest wiki loves monuments

for us this site is very important to stimulate the free activities in the field of knowledge

your contract would be a great support for us Algerian

thank you for your good monitoring

Five minutes to help make WikiProjects better

edit

Hello!

First, on behalf of WikiProject X, thank you for trying out the WikiProject X pilot projects. I would like to get some anonymous feedback from you on your experience using the new WikiProject layout and tools. This way, we will know what we did right, and if we did something horribly wrong, we can try to fix it. This feedback won't be associated with your username, so please be completely honest. We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X.)

Please complete the survey here. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete. Once you complete the survey I will leave a handwritten note on your talk page as a token of my appreciation.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Harej (talk) 17:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Please support the Sustainability Initiative!

Please support the Sustainability Initiative!

Hi, Seeeko! Please allow me to follow up on a project that was discussed at the Wikimedia Conference in Berlin a couple of weeks ago:

I am writing you to ask for your support for the Sustainability Initiative, which aims at reducing the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement. Over the past two years, more than 250 Wikipedians from all over the world have come together to push the Wikimedia movement towards greater sustainability.

The Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation has recently passed a resolution stating that the Foundation is committed to seeking ways to reduce the impact of its activities on the environment. Now, we are working with the Wikimedia Foundation staff to have all Wikimedia servers run on renewable energy by 2019.

In order to demonstrate that this is an issue that the community really cares about, I would like to ask you to sign the project page as well. Thank you! --Gnom (talk) 15:47, 14 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Event coordinator

edit

Hi, the English Wikipedia recently created a new user permission for editors involved in off-wiki outreach work, event coordinator. This new permission allows users to mark accounts for confirmed for up to 10 days, and also allows them to create accounts for events without rate limits without some of the features of the account creator right that aren't used at edit-a-thons and other events. I have added the event coordinator permission to your account for 90 days to assist with any events you may have coming up and removed the account creator permission, as you appear to have been using it mainly for outreach work.

This should have no noticeable impact on your ability to create accounts at upcoming events, and will give you the extra ability to temporarily confirm accounts if you need to. If you need the event coordinator permission again after it expires, you can make a request here. For more information, you can see the information page on the right, or you can ask me if you have any questions. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:11, 22 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
