Is that a Cactus in your pocket or are you just happy to not see me?
Whenever you can update that friggin' NYC 2600 website of yours then I can be happy. :)
I also am currently trying to set up a project, I am slightly set back due to router failure but I will be back on track in a day or two. I will show it off next meeting.
P.S. Boo.
NYC2600
I couldn't help but notice that you generously linked to Wikimedia New York City on the NYC2600 website. Do you think it might make sense for Wikimedia New York City to do a meetup in conjunction with NYC2600 sometime? How large are the usual meetings you have — and is to the group open to the relatively non-technical people (such as myself) who form a large proportion of Wikipedians/Wikimedians? Also, how aware are you of other NYC-area groups that Wikimedia New York City might be able to collaborate with — I know just a little about Columbia Free Culture, but that's it. Thanks for your help.-- Pharos 19:33, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Regarding an early post of yours asking if anyone was in contact with or could contact Star Trek Phase 2 producers
Hi Rob T.
Regarding an earlier post asking if anyone was in contact with Star Trek New Voyages: Phase 2 producers, well, now you are. :-)
I am pretty new to using Wikipedia for anything other than searches, but am always available to chime in on the talk section of the STP2 articles, or via our website's contact link. Thanks for your efforts in keeping the page about us non-defaced and accurate!
A fellow Long Islander,

Re: We Are the World
Thanks for choosing to record the article. I believe 'Kragen' is pronounced 'Kray - Gin', with the 'G' being pronounced the same way it is on 'Git', as opposed to 'Ginger'. It's a hard 'G', not a soft 'G'. His surname is spoken at 4:39 here if you are still unsure. Thanks again for choosing the article! :) Pyrrhus 16 13:30, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 18:46, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

A spoken version of introduction of article (Steinway & Sons)
Hi Rob T Firefly,
I have for a long time been thinking of how to get a spoken version of the introduction of the article Steinway & Sons. The article is about the famous and very prestigious piano brand Steinway & Sons. The article is long and got music files, a video file and many pictures. In the music world there are many blind people and I think they should have the opportunity to hear the introduction of this article about the world's most famous piano company. My native language is not English so therefore I have been looking for someone to help me. I have heard you speaking File:George Washington's Farewell Address.ogg and I must say that I think your way of speaking very, very good.
I would like to ask you if you please would help my by making a file with a spoken version of the introduction of the article Steinway & Sons?
Yours sincerely, ANCJensen ( talk) 03:40, 13 July 2011 (UTC).

Your invitation to participate in a Wikimedia-approved survey in online behavior.
Hello, my name is Michael Tsikerdekis [1] [2], currently involved as a student in full time academic research at Masaryk University. I am writing to you to kindly invite you to participate in an online survey about interface and online collaboration on Wikipedia. The survey has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Research Committee.
I am contacting you because you were randomly selected from a list of active editors. The survey should take about 7 to 10 minutes to complete, and it is very straightforward.
Wikipedia is an open project by nature. Let’s create new knowledge for everyone! :-)
To take part in the survey please follow the link: tsikerdekis.wuwcorp.com/pr/survey/?user=30563777 ( HTTPS).
Best Regards, -- Michael Tsikerdekis ( talk) 11:41, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
PS: The results from the research will become available online for everyone and will be published in an open access journal. As a thank you for your efforts and participation in Wikipedia Research you will receive a Research Participation Barnstar after the end of the study.
As a contributor to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vive le Canada back in 2006, you may be interested to know this article has been renominated for deletion. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vive le Canada (2nd nomination). Robofish ( talk) 18:14, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
Rob,
Rob, why do you never come to visit me in Florida? -- Murd0c516 ( talk) 17:28, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
The article Michel Granger has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. — Mr. V ( t – c) 01:25, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

| Thursday April 4 and Friday April 5: Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College | |
 Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City. New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events. | |

The museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week.
