I'm on the discussion page.

If you are receiving this message, you are either a new, existing, or possible future press contact for one of the languages you speak. What does this mean, being a press contact?

The Wikimedia Foundation runs a Communications Committee, which co-ordinates requests for interviews from the press. When we receive a request for an interview, often the journalist wants to interview someone that speaks their "native tongue", or someone that lives in the same country as their publication. For this reason, it is important the the Communications Committee keeps an up-to-date log of contributors that they can trust to represent the community in a professional manner.

This list of press contacts has started to grow. The goal is to eventually have at least one trusted user on the list from every country in the world, and one user for every language that the Foundation runs a project in.

What are your responsibilities? Whenever a journalist requests an interview, either by phone, by e-mail, or (rarely) in person, you are able to either answer the interview request, or pass the request off to another user that you trust. Whenever a newsworthy milestone is reached on your project, you should help co-ordinate the creation of a press release, and once it's ready, send it to me to post in your language's press room.

Any questions, comments, or concerns? Contact me directly. -- en:user_talk:zanimum

That's the title of the Indonesian translation that you said to me. I just got it today (it was translated 2009, but last time I asked the local bookstore in my city, they still didn't carry it). Well, if I don't get the chance to translate the book, at least I got the honor to create the id.wp page :) I'll ask you to sign it on the next Wikimania :) Bennylin (talk)

Hello! As there is a Wikipedia article about you, you are cordially invited to contribute a short audio recoding of your spoken voice, so that our readers may know what you sound like and how you pronounce your name. Details of how to do so, and examples, are at Wikipedia:Voice intro project. Please feel free to ask for help or clarification on the project talk page, or my talk page.

Hello,

I have searched in vain for the good path to get administrator’s help for the following issue and so I decided to send this request to some including you.

I have considerably expanded the article Guerrilla filmmaking and took care in referencing it as far as I could (over 90 links to trustful sources). I am an experienced editor of Wikipedia. For my surprise, the article was reverted by user CIRT to a preceding stub version mainly consisting of a very narrow list of films. Many important contents were removed. Self promotional vandalism seems to be the reason of such intervention, sustained by acute threats. I do not intend to respond with helpless and inconsequent arguments and the time I have to dedicate to Wikipedia is quite limited.

I’d be happy if you could pay some attention to this occurrence and let you decide whatever you think is reasonable.

My best,

Tertulius (User talk:Tertulius) 06,05, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Fuzheado. You have new messages at Leeyc0's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

	You are invited to attend the Canada and United States affiliates meetup at Wikimania 1015, Friday, July 17 at 17:30 and Saturday, July 18 at 18:00. Please RSVP and state your topic preference(s)!

Please read this notification carefully:
A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date.

I couldn't get anyone to bite on this Proposed Move for President Wolfe, so I thought you might be interested.

I would like to know why you blocked User:Drrharpe33 for adding high school sports content, backed by a clearly reliable source to Kentucky town pages. The source is the Kentucky High School Athletic Association, the main organization in that state for managing high school athletics. Why was this removed from numerous pages and the user who added the content blocked? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 00:28 on July 31, 2016 (UTC)

Wishing you a Charlie Russell Christmas, Fuzheado!

"Here's hoping that the worst end of your trail is behind you That Dad Time be your friend from here to the end And sickness nor sorrow don't find you." —C.M. Russell, Christmas greeting 1926. Montanabw(talk) 23 December 2016 (UTC)

I added a citation, which is what was needed in the article.

Hello,

I apologize if this is all wrong, but I was inspired after seeing that the Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative hosted a WikiAPA Edit-a-Thon. I was curious if there was any way I could be involved and contribute to editing or writing articles on similar topics.

Apologies again if this is not the preferred mode of conversation or if I misread the instructions.

Cheers.

I have provided the ref, please transform it in wiki language...Also need your help on the page The Great Gama since there are Indian fans who are removing my ref.

Fuzheado, you seem to have accepted the revisions made by Amakuru which are political and without credible justification. Amakuru claims that the word "claim" is provocative/political and wishes to reduce the wikipedia entry to the position of the Rwandan government. It is critical that this entry distinguishes between what a government says and what researchers have shown to have happened in any historical context. Otherwise wikipedia becomes a source of propaganda for governments and those who work for them.

You're invited! NYC Earth Day 2022 Edit-a-thon! April 22nd!
