It appears as though L.A. has never had a Wiki meetup. Would you be interested in attending such an event? If so, checkout User:Eric Shalov/Wikimeetup
- Eric 16:21, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- We never met here so this is an odd thing to ask. However I thought I'd ask if you could maybe look at the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God article I made. I basically just made a Babelized translation of the one from Portuguese wiki so I think it reads a bit weird. Although some effort was done since I started it-- T.

I think fair use might apply in this case, but would you please make sure? Please get back in touch with me when you do so. Many thanks. Diamantina 11:07, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- If the photo was first published in 1914 (or at any other time before 1923), then it's in the public domain. -- Carnildo 21:13, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- The photo was produced circa 1914 (it has been stated in books that the photo was produced circa 1914: judging from the style of Venetia Stanley's clothes, the style of photography and the age of Venetia Stanley, I agree with that assertion), but I do not know if it was published before 1923.
- It is possible that the photo was published pre-1923 (e.g., newspaper stories announcing Venetia Stanley's engagement to Edwin Samuel Montagu in 1915). However, extensive research would have to be done to verify publication. This would be impractical for me to do. The only British newspaper of the period that I could gain access to with relative ease are microfilms of The Times, and I do not know if The Times published photographs in engagement and wedding announcements of its social section in 1915.
- The photo of Venetia Stanley has been widely reproduced since the publication of Roy Jenkins' biography of Herbert Henry Asquith in 1964, which is where I first saw the photo.
- More generally, if a work that was produced pre-1923 was not published until after 1923, does the work still fall in the public domain? Please advise. Many thanks. — Diamantina 22:30, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
- For works created in the United States, unlikely. There are some other reasons why a work published after 1923 can be in the public domain, but "published before 1923" is reasonably absolute. A fairly comprehensive chart of what is and is not public domain in the United States is at http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/training/Hirtle_Public_Domain.htm -- Carnildo 08:28, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Dear Diamantina, thank you for the fascinating information you've placed on the "List of illegitimates" talk page. I've introduced a few items from it into the article. Would you consider doing me a great favor by putting in the rest of it?
I of course realize that the article's title may be hurtful to anyone affected by the phenomenon. If it didn't have that potential, probably there would be no need of such a list. Today we live in a "more vulgar" age which seems to attach much less concern to the formalities of how anyone came into the world. But a century ago things were different. Recent revelations, for example, show how it affected Albert Einstein who, though not himself "illegitimate," apparently was not married to his first wife when they had their first son.
My point in starting the article was to bring attention to how substantial a phenomenon it has been among persons of achievement, and to stimulate the sort of thought reflected in your comment on the talk page.
Yours truly, logologist| Talk 15:42, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your invaluable contributions to this article (including the addition of Marilyn Monroe and William the Conqueror!). For years, when reading biographical articles and books, I had been struck how often this element occurred. I'm sure that, with time, many more names will be added. Another aspect for exploration might be the effect of this phenomenon on the individual's family of origin (as in the case of Einstein), and on the family that he himself may establish. I would be curious whether sociology has explored the subject much. Thanks again! logologist| Talk 00:56, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
Your information about Maryse Choisy's Phaëton complex has been deleted by User:Griot from the List of illegitimates. I hope you will consider placing this interesting information, along with more as available (including the origin of the term, "Phaëton complex"), into a new article on the Phaëton complex, and perhaps also a brief summary of it into the article on Illegitimacy. Choisy's concept would seem to merit a complete article of its own. logologist| Talk 21:45, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I keep getting blocked — this is the second time this week. I think it's because I use AOL and lots of people — including vandals — share the same IP. By the way, I could not find the currently blocked IP that I am using (207.200.116.134) on the block list, even though I used the search button and the "Find in Top Window" function chez moi.

WikiProject Biography is holding a three month long assessment drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unassessed articles. The drive is running from June 1, 2007 – September 1, 2007.
Awards to be won range from delicacies such as the
WikiCookie to the great
Golden Wiki Award.
There are over 110,000 articles to assess so please visit the
drive's page and help out!
This drive was conceived of and organized by Psychless with the help of Ozgod. Regards, Psychless Type words!.
 Volume IV, no. 4 - September 2007 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Congratulations to our 225 new members |
The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page
Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

Hello Diamantina!
| You are cordially invited to participate in
WikiProject Christianity
The goal of WikiProject Christianity is to improve the quality and quantity of information about Christianity available on Wikipedia. WP:X as a group does not prefer any particular tradition or denominination of Christianity, but prefers that all Christian traditions are fairly and accurately represented. |

You are receiving this invitation because you are a member of one of the related Christianity Projects and I thought that you might be interested in this project also - Tinucherian ( talk) 05:05, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).
I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.
If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!
If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.
Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng { chat} 23:47, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

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. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

 Dear fellow Wikipedian, I would like to personally invite you to the March edition of the Wik-Ed Women meetup, which will take place on March 15, from 6-10 in the evening. It will occur at Los Angeles Contemporary Archive, 2245 E Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, California 90021 (downtown LA -- map). The building has a pink top with old signage for American Accessories, Inc. dba Princess Accessories ( Photos [PDF]). There is on-site parking in the back, which also has an entrance. If you cannot attend in person, you are more than willing to work remotely, as we appreciate all help that you can provide. Finally, here is a link to the Facebook event, in case you want to invite friends, as we are always looking for new editors to help expand coverage of women on Wikipedia! I hope to see you there!

 Dear Diamantina, You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on Los Angeles to Featured article status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, add your name here! theleekycauldron ( talk • contribs) ( they/she) 00:19, 10 January 2022 (UTC) To opt out of future mailings about LA meetups, please remove your name from this list. | |
