Hi! My name is Annie Lin - I'm the Campus Team Coordinator at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm contacting you because you're listed as a resident of San Francisco, and we're currently looking for a friendly Wikipedian to teach students in a University of San Francisco class how to use/edit Wikipedia. This is a role titled the "Wikipedia Campus Ambassador," and you'll basically be doing in-class presentations about Wikipedia, running Wikipedia labs/workshops, and in general providing face-to-face Wikipedia help for the professor and the students in the class. The time commitment is about 3-5 hours a week (with variations throughout the semester), and for this particular University of San Francisco class, most of the workload will be between March and May.
Please let me know if you're interested!

Hi, sorry to revert you, but it makes sense to describe what something is before talking about where it is found. We've had this debate on a few wikiprojects and come to a consensus that this is a good way to lay things out....cheers, Cas Liber ( talk · contribs) 11:36, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
Hello, Cs. I noticed that you reverted my edit at Mammoth Lakes, California. I think that adding a pushpin map to infoboxes for California towns does not help our readers. For example, at Mammoth Lakes, California, there is already a map that shows the location of the town in Mono County, and the location of Mono County within the State. Showing the location of the town in the United States simply takes up space and makes the main article more crowded. Hence, I removed the pushpin map.
I would not object to adding the pushpin map to infoboxes that do not already have county locator maps.
If you don't agree, can we open this issue up to wider discussion? Thanks! — hike395 ( talk) 04:46, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that.

BeenAroundAWhile ( talk) 02:19, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
Just a few weeks ago, as a result of this discussion, there was consensus among the participants at Wikipedia:WikiProject New Jersey that state-level pushpin maps are unneeded, as articles statewide already have maps showing the location within the county and of the county within the state. These state-level pushpin maps are being removed. I appreciate your efforts to add pushpin maps of the United States, but there appears to be no consensus at any level that they should be added. These maps add space to already large infoboxes, and provide context that is readily available at articles about the county, state or country. Nor is there any need to show pushpin maps of the hemisphere, Earth, our solar system or the the location of places within the Milky Way, all of which is available elsewhere.
Please stop and take stock. Before making further changes, reach out at any level and obtain consensus for your actions, huge numbers of which have been reverted by editors across the country. If there is no consensus, you can stop adding these maps once and for all and move on to other activities. If there is consensus, there are methods that will be far more effective to add these maps, such as using bots to do so. Until then, I'll be happy to do the reverts to restore the status quo. Alansohn ( talk) 20:03, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
OK I am happy to discuss this further but where? I do not want my page full of discussion stuff. But here it goes:
Pushpin maps are introduced in Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions/Pushpin maps and use only one svg file so they save more space by not having multiple files. Maps use CIA World Factbook maps 2008 style consistency as as shown Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions/Location maps. Pushpin maps are in this style The infobox for cities allows 3 maps. If people did not want this many maps they would have removed it from the infobox settings directy or not have it the settings implemented when it was created.
Note that you are not the only one using wikipedia, so not everyone will know where your State/province/region is in reference to the country. So claiming that we only need the city location inside Nebraska and assuming people know where Nebraska is within the US is a miss attribution since wikipedia is used worldwide. So given a country at random, you living in the United States, would likely not be able determine where a city is given the state/province/region without navigating to another page or using a map.
Large cities mostly have pushpin maps for examples:
These examples show that the pushpin maps provides good context of where the city is within the county. As a bonus the map helps people who use wikipedia that have Dyslexia to easily gain context through the map. Those who say "why not have a map of the world and milky way" argument is moving the goal post. The scope of the Template:Infobox settlement is within the country, hence country is usually the default on the part which is filled in as subdivision_type, with 3 additional subdivision types. Having a map of country fits within this scope as country is a parameter in the text. Support
Consensus is shown by a silent majority that have been editing for years and has not had problems with the maps. Wikipedia is a made of a community of users, pages with more edits shows more engagement and refinement to a standard. Most large city in the US has had this for several years
We can look at this and think of it as testing for if there is agreement for these types of map since there are several thousands of edits since the maps are put in indicating that there is some consensus among users since they still have not remove the maps. There is also support cross wiki that I have shown in above arguments. As for your MOS's parsimony principle many template boxes are longer than these infoboxes (especially for plants with many synonyms) that is why there is a simple english wikipedia for that and also you can limit the size of the maps and pictures.
As for your MOS:INFOBOX the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance and short form, and exclude any unnecessary contentthe map does both.
Secondly you apparently miss the fact on MOS:INFOBOX that Readers greatly outnumber editors . Your claim of Adding a map that'd be unnecessary for the great majority of readers seems contrary to this principle is false about 18% is from the US that is one out of every five visitors you cannot just not say I am designing wikipedia just for that one person and ignore the other four. Just because a couple editors got mad means nothing, you guys only apply the edits to the pages you like instead of making everything consistent. I do not see any actions keeping pushpin maps suppressed on every US city, cdp, and suburb or propagated to all pages so it is meaningless. Also I got more thanks on the notification for adding the maps than I got people telling me to not add them.
Hope this explains my point.

I too am a fan of pushpin maps, but like infobox flags, they are a matter of personal preference. In articles where the only map is a state pushpin map, such as Artonish, Mississippi, please leave the state map (which you seem to have done), as it seems more useful as a stand-alone pushpin map.

May I suggest you stop adding the USA pushpin until a consensus has been reached at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cities? I just noticed your edit to Bethel, Vermont, and you added a USA pushpin to an article that already had a USA map in the infobox. As I've stated, I'm a big fan of pushpin maps, but I'm not a fan of sloppy editing, and your Ninja edits are starting to look kinda pointy. Thank you. Magnolia677 ( talk) 23:40, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
Would it be all right if we collapsed Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cities#Wikipedia:WikiProject_USA_civility_and_ownership_issues? I think we're feeling our way slowly toward consensus in the overall discussion of maps in US city infoboxes, and a discussion of who's being uncivil to whom doesn't advance that process. Moreover, we've got discussion going on both above and below the civility-and-ownership subsection; collapsing the ssn. would make it easier to follow that discussion.

Hi, quick request–I understand that this species has the (ambiguous?) synonym Phimenes flavopictum, which is what it's called on the Wikimedia Commons category. I don't know much about wasp phylogeny-would it be possible to get some explanation on the page of this and why/if flavopictus is preferable? Blythwood ( talk) 03:45, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

I removed the table you added to Cuban warblers, and wanted to explain why. I've noticed you adding these tables to lots of bird articles and I think they make sense where there are many species, but in this case there are only two and the specific details of where they live is actually covered in the text already. Also as there are only two species all the species are already illustrated in the article, so putting exactly the same images in the box makes little sense (and unfortunately there are other images of the species but they aren't very good). So, like, tables are good in most instances so keep up the good work, but in this case it doesn't really work. Sabine's Sunbird talk 08:14, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Pterostilbene, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. That was a careless group of edits, paying little attention to style and punctuation. Also, if you're going to edit medical content, read WP:MEDRS first for choosing review sources with high quality. Thanks. Zefr ( talk) 21:55, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you were trying to get the italics right in the taxobox at Banana passionfruit. It's been on my to-do list for a few days; I finally got round to it. The italicization of taxon names is embedded in various bits of code, so it needed edits at Module:TaxonItalics and Template:Is italic taxon (among others) to fix. It works now.

Hi, MOS:HEADINGS is clear that references must not be placed in section headings. So when giving a list of species, at least for plants it's conventional to say something like "As of DATE, the following species are accepted:[REF]". Giving a date is important, because species are constantly being named or moved around genera, and we should not give the impression that the circumscription of a genus is fixed. Peter coxhead ( talk) 13:03, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them.) WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN.
We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 13:04, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I saw you added {{
Infobox genome}}
to
Clostridium tetani
here. Two things: (1) Something seems to be wrong with the values you added to the table. You indicated that the genome is 3.91 Mb and described in 2007, but the text says it's described in 2003 and 2.8Mb. The
NCBI link you provided also says it's 2.8 Mb. (2) I'm not convinced adding that template to a bunch of bacteria articles is really useful. The average reader probably isn't going to be perusing NCBI's site to find interesting genome information, and the {{
Taxobar}}
at the bottom of the page already has links to various databases for the more-familiar reader. Why add another infobox to the middle of the page with a link and a few tidbits? If you think all/most bacteria articles should have these templates, why don't we discuss it at
WP:MICRO or
WP:Molecular biology? If folks are in favor of adding the templates, we can probably do it in a bot run much more efficiently. Thanks and happy editing.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Aloe harlana requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

In this edit you removed content from the lead and added it to the section in the article that it summarised, thus creating considerable duplication.

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Monge v. Maya Magazines, Inc.. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa ( talk) 14:55, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled " Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
I noticed your recent edit to Bambi does not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.
Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Telefocus ( talk) 21:22, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into
Mineral deficiency. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. —

Hi, just to note that if the rank that will be displayed is shaded red, as it is here, it means that it's not a rank that is accepted by the automated taxonomy system. It's meant to be a helpful clue, as I didn't want to generate a big red error message. Anyway, such errors will be picked up and corrected as they add the taxonomy template to an error-tracking category, so it's not something to be too concerned about.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Cintia a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Rebutia cintia. This is known as a " cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.
