[edit]Nomination of Segregation academies for deletion
[edit]
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Segregation academies is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Segregation academies until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Verdad (talk • contribs) 18:07, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Better source request for File:USS hunchback.jpg
[edit]Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:
You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 03:12, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Kumud Pant
[edit]Firstly, siiiiiigh! Secondly, hello! I've opened a discussion at ANI about the user who keeps submitting the Kumud Pant article. While I was writing up the situation, apparently you deleted the article two more times! I admire the man's zeal. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:57, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- Pretty sure I salted it to save them the future dissapointment of having me (or another) delete it again! Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 16:59, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- I was about ask you to salt it but you're damn quick it seems. —Soham (talk) 17:01, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- Glad I can assist, feel free to let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 17:06, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- Howdy, the user is either trolling, or hopelessly clueless about why he was blocked. See: User talk:Kumudpant. He seems to think it was because of copy/pasting. Since he's done nothing but promote Kumud Pant, I can't see what useful contribution he would make if he were unblocked. Correcting typos? Dunno if you care to go down a rabbit hole by answering him. He's also socking as User:Kumudpant2014. If you have any SPI experience, I wonder if we might get this one closed quickly. Please see: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Kumudpant. There's nothing in his contrib history because I nommed his only contribution for speedy delete. I think it was at Talk:Kumud Pant. Tanx! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:10, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) I've salted Talk:Kumud Pant, as the obvious sockpuppet mentioned above attempted to recreate the article there. --Kinu t/c 23:19, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- Grazie! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:23, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of CLARCOR
[edit]Kekoukele (talk) 00:00, 6 March 2014 (UTC)Thanks for your consideration of the page "CLARCOR". However CLARCOR is a company listed on NYSE,the revenue of the company is relatively high and I also included some important acquisition of the company which had of course affected the market of the company's field. I really don't think it's not important and significance. In addition, this page is under an education project I had introduced on the talk page. Now it's only a basic introduction about the company, Please retrieve the page so I can improve it! Thanks a lot.
An exciting month of wiki events!
[edit]Hello there,
I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.
First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.
On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.
The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.
There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!
All the best,
James Hare

[edit]Your upload of File:ChrisandP.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution.

[edit]See you at the Laurel Pool Room, 9th and Main Street, Laurel, MD on Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 7:00 PM EST. See http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205494212/ for more information. Geraldshields11 (talk) 02:13, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon
[edit]The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.
If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.
When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC
