National Archives ExtravaSCANza

You are invited to the National Archives ExtravaSCANza, taking place every day next week from January 4–7, Wednesday to Saturday, in College Park, Maryland (Washington, DC metro area). Come help me cap off my stint as Wikipedian in Residence at the National Archives with one last success! This will be a casual working event in which Wikipedians are getting together to scan interesting documents at the National Archives related to a different theme each day—currently: spaceflight, women's suffrage, Chile, and battleships—for use on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions1 as possible can come. Please join us! Dominic·t 01:04, 30 December 2011 (UTC) 1 Wikipedians from DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York City, and Pittsburgh have been invited.

How is the NARA meetup going?

Help needed

I need help. Please read the history of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture up until the point is renamed. Then read: About the Countee Cullen Library and then read History (of the Schomburg Center). What they are saying is the papers that were on the 3rd floor of the 103 west 135th street building in 1942 was the first "schomburg center" and it just happened to be in 103 west 135th but the rest of 103 west 135th was the Countee Cullen Library. But when an official Schomburg Center was built they moved the papers there and since the papers were there; it was the Schomburg papers. Then when a hallway was built from the new Schomburg Center to 103 west 135th, the 103 west 135th building became part of the new Schomburg Center.

Confused yet? I sure am and I have been editing the article for 3 months

But there is no Countee Cullen Library article on wikipedia so I can not transfer everything from 1905-1942 in the article over to it. 66.234.33.8 (talk) 21:41, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Countdown in Wikimania

Can you please check the Countdown section of the main page for Assamese language. It is showing error "Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "�"." This may be due to the different number script we use. I checked it with roman script here. It's working fine. Due to the same problem, we use Roman numbers in Assamese Wikipedia.

MSU Interview

Dear Aude,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 15:41, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Wikimania correction

Ta muchly for the correction. I was merely going off of a tip given to me by Sumana; I probably misunderstood. But as you say, we can just keep it over, no problem. - Jarry1250 ^{[Deliberation needed]} 18:09, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, some people might misunderstand how we do program reviewing publicly. In all likelihood, we'll accept the top rated submissions but no guarantee and we need to see how many slots there are, make sure we have variety of topics, etc. Cheers. --Aude (talk) 18:11, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Wikimania question

Hi Aude! I emailed James Hare (using his gmail email address) some time ago (per the instruction on "seeking the volunteers" page), and haven't heard back from him. So I basically given up on him. My big question is: Is there any area that I can volunteer to do in Wikimania? I also know the deadline is approaching, and I'm wondering whether I'm a "sufficiently" Wikipedian to qualify for the discount. And I'm wondering whether I would benefit from attending the Wikimania. You know who I am ;-) Thanks! --TheBlueWizard (talk) 02:40, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes, you qualify for the discount. For volunteering, we need help to make sure the Wikimania wiki has informative information for visitors, and as the dates get closer, we might need help to assemble the attendee bags and contents. Also, I'm hoping we can arrange sign language interpreters, via Galludet perhaps, and if possible captioning of the sessions (or at least post-conference, when we post videos). If you have any suggestions on these, that would be very helpful. (and the DC Public Library probably also has ideas) Cheers. --Aude (talk) 12:59, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply! However, I discovered some problems with the registration on secure.wikidc.org. Let me start off by finding out that I must create an account which I had thought I already have on wikimedia.org (I checked it again on that website, and it turned out I still do, after all. So I concluded it must be a separate website of some sort). No problem there. But I discovered that there is no way to log out (that I can see), which could pose a security risk (I ended up closing the browser; not happy about that). Also, after filling out the entries, I came to the payment part, and there was two choices: PayPal and one other choice which I forgot, except that I know it is not relevant. I do not have a PayPal account and I do not want to use PayPal. So how do I pay for the registration then? So there are two major issues that need to be taken care of, and soon, I hope. Thanks! --TheBlueWizard (talk) 02:26, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Coordinator sought for the US National Archives WikiProject

Greetings, WikiProject US National Archives member!

We are seeking a coordinator to help reboot the project and work on new initiatives! The role is modeled after other Wikiproject coordinators, like the WikiProject Military History coordinators. The coordinator will work with the Wikipedian in Residence to organize and increase participation in the WikiProject, with the goal that the WikiProject is an active space for collaboration maintained by and for the Wikipedia editors, rather than the National Archives.

Please see the full information at Wikipedia:GLAM/NARA/Coordinator and contact me is you have any questions. Feel free to pass this note along to any interested parties. Thanks! Dominic·t 21:00, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

A new gadget has been proposed to make it easier for new- and non-editors to leave feedback about help pages. Please test it and leave your thoughts. In somewhat-related-project-news: the Teahouse has wrapped up its pilot phase with an extensive report. Planning and discussion is underway for phase 2. A discussion is taking place about the purpose and future of the venerable Community portal.	From the editor Hello from the Help Project, and welcome to the second issue of our newsletter! The biggest project I've been working on this month has been a large survey of users to find out what they think of our current help pages. Preliminary results from this are now available, although there are more responses trickling in from the lower edit count groups since a batch of email invitations were recently sent out. Finalised results and further analysis should be posted next week. Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name. the wub "?!" 18:40, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
Tasks Calling all CSS and template gurus: Help:Diff and {{wiki diff}} need to be updated to match the new MediaWiki diff styles. Why not wander through the lower reaches of Wikipedia:Help Project/page statistics and see if there are pages that can be cleaned up or merged.

Thank you

Katie,

Just a short note to say thank you for all of your hard work organizing Wikimania 2012 and establishing Wikimedia DC. Without you, I don't believe either would have ever happened. You were instrumental in making both the conference and the chapter a success and those in the D.C. community have reaped the rewards.

You've been a true force in turning Wikimedia DC from an idea into reality. It's no easy task to deal with Wikimedians and the work you've quietly and steadfastly done has simply been outstanding. Thank you for all of your help and I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Germany! --MZMcBride (talk) 06:03, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Project news summary Final results and conclusions from the help pages survey were released. The wub gave a presentation at Wikimania 2012 about help pages, and the slides are now on Commons. A discussion is taking place about the purpose and future of the venerable Community portal. New designs for tutorial pages have been proposed, comment from project members is welcome.

From the editor Welcome to the (slightly delayed) third issue of the Help Project newsletter. The past month has once again been a busy one for my fellowship. The full results and conclusions from the extensive user survey on help pages are now available, and make interesting reading. These do confirm a number of our suspicions about Wikipedia help, and suggest that the current plan for the remainder of the fellowship is a sound approach. Also last month I was fortunate enough to attend Wikimania 2012 in Washington DC, where I gave a presentation about help pages and the aforementioned survey results. You can find the slides from this on Commons. Wikimania was also a great opportunity for many discussions with staff and community members, and these brought up some interesting ideas which I hope to follow up on. One of the things much discussed was the planned tutorial pages. I've been working on a new design for them which can be seen at User:The wub/sandbox/1, please let me know what you think (especially if you spot any bugs!).

Wikipedia Takes America

Thanks for the response, but this isn't really what I meant. Unlike last night, I now realise that this is a page for a meetup with photo goals, not simply a single-person-taking-many-photos project. I've been taking tons of photos in Bloomington, and for this city of 40000 permanent residents, I've uploaded photos of approximately 1700 different buildings; there's not much incentive for Bob or Lori to take the time for just a few buildings that I missed before.

Help Project newsletter : Issue 4

The Help Project Newsletter Issue IV - September 2012

Project news summary The in-person usability tests from the wub's community fellowship have been written up. Three new introductory tutorials for new users have been created: referencing, uploading images and navigating Wikipedia. The Article Feedback Tool has been deployed to pages in the Help namespace, and can be added manually to help pages in other namespaces. Read more... Page statistics were updated for the month of August.

From the editor Hi, and welcome to the fourth issue of the Help Project newsletter. It's been another busy month in the world of Wikipedia help. The results from the in-person usability tests conducted as part of the help pages fellowship have been released. There are no great surprises here, the tests confirmed that people have trouble with the existing help system, and people looking for help on the same topic often end up at wildly different pages. Editors who experienced a tutorial and/or edited a sandbox as part of their learning were noticeably more confident when editing a real article. Drawing on that, three new "Introduction to" tutorials for new users have been created: referencing, uploading images and navigating Wikipedia. These join the popular existing introductions to policies and guidelines and talk pages. Feel free to edit them, but please do remember that the idea is to keep them simple and as free from extraneous details as possible. All three have been added to Help:Getting started, which is intended to be the new focal point for new editors, and will also be seeing a redesign soon. In other news, the Article Feedback Tool (AFT) can now be used to collect feedback on help pages. By default it has been deployed to all pages in the Help: namespace. It can be disabled on any page by adding Category:Article Feedback Blacklist, or enabled for pages in other namespaces by adding Category:Article Feedback 5 Additional Articles. Once a page has AFT applied, you can add feedback using the form which appears at the bottom of it. Feedback can be reviewed by clicking "View feedback" in the sidebar, or the "Feedback from my watched pages" link at the top of your watchlist. I'm now entering the final month of my fellowship, and will be focusing my efforts on making much needed improvements to Help:Contents, the main entrance point to our help system. It's been a pleasure working as a fellow, and I just want to thank all the people who have helped me or offered advice over the past months. That definitely won't be the end of my involvement in the Help Project though, I'll be sticking around as a volunteer and continuing to write this newsletter. Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name. -- the wub "?!" 20:00, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

		Best wishes for the New Year!
		Here's wishing you and yours a joyous, healthful, and productive 2013! Please accept a belated thank you for the well wishes upon my retirement as FAC delegate this year, and apologies for the false alarm of my first—and hopefully last—retirement; the well wishes extended me were most kind, but I decided to return, re-committed, when another blocked sock was revealed as one of the factors aggravating the FA pages this year. Maintaining standards in featured content requires vigilance, dedication and knowledge of people like you, who are needed; reviews are always welcome at FAC, FAR and TFA requests. Somehow, somehow we never ever seem to do nothin' completely nice and easy, but here's hoping that 2013 will see a peaceful road ahead and a return to the quality and comaraderie that defines the FA process, thanks to many dedicated Wikipedians!

Project news summary Help:Contents and Wikipedia:Contact us have seen a major revamp. Page statistics were updated. Alerts are now available for discussions related to Help Project pages Many more Help Project pages now have the Article Feedback Tool (v5) enabled. GettingStarted is an experimental feature to guide new users with their first edits.

From the editor Hello again from the Help Project! In the last newsletter (which was quite a while ago sorry!) I talked about my fellowship and the plans for improving the main portal page, Help:Contents. Well I'm sad to say that my fellowship is now over, but very happy to say that the proposed improvements to that page have been completed and implemented. Do check it out if you haven't already. Another important and frequently used help page, Wikipedia:Contact us, has also seen a significant revamp. You may recognise the design inspiration from the new tutorial pages. In project news, we now have a subscription to the "article alerts" service. Any deletion nominations, move discussions, or requests for comments on pages within the Help Project's scope will now show up at Wikipedia:Help Project/Article alerts. So that's definitely a page which project members might want to watch. Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter.

Hi Aude, Jarry has food poisoning. Would you be able to put a tech report together for later today UTC (maybe tomorrow morning)? Thanks, Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 01:51, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Not sure I have time, but if I do it would be tonight or tomorrow morning. I'll see what we can do. Cheers --Aude (talk) 11:28, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi, it'd be great to talk to you about WLM 2013 planning. It seems like you were in charge of last year's. Could we chat sometime? Mono 20:23, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

I didn't do very much for WLM actually and won't have time this year. No idea what's happening this year. Cheers. --Aude (talk) 20:24, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

OK, but wikilovesmonuments.us is registered to you. If you don't maintain that site, who does? Thanks, Mono 21:07, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Our chapter hosts it but it was a group of volunteers who did stuff. I don't know the plans for this year. People might be exhausted and maybe up to doing something different or I am not sure. You might ask User:Smallbones --Aude (talk) 21:34, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #50

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • Rolled out new code on wikidata.org. The new stuff you probably care about is:
    • Improved references. They can now have multiple lines. This should make references much more useful. You can now have one reference with for example values for each of the properties "book", "author", "page" to describe one source.
    • Fixed the prev/next links in diff view (bugzilla:45821)
    • d:Special:EntitiesWithoutLabel now lets you filter by language and entity type
  • Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: added setting to enable/disable it per wiki and made it available for logged-in users only
  • Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: improved layout / size
  • Made it so that the “edit links” link on Wikipedia is also shown when the corresponding item only has a link to this one language and no other languages
  • Submitted improved Apache config patch to make wikidata.org always redirect to www.wikidata.org, which is awaiting code review and deployment.
  • Improved the script that is responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias
  • Added a few ways to better debug the script responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias. This should help with investigating why some changes take way to long to show up on the Wikipedias.
  • Started work on automatically adding edited items to the user’s watchlist (according to preferences)
  • Finished script for rebuilding search keys, so we can finally get case insensitive matches in a lot of places
  • Support for multi-line references in diff view
  • Selenium tests for inclusion syntax
  • Improved parser function (that will be used to access Wikidata data on the Wikipedias) to accept property ID or label
  • Increased isolation of data model component to increase clarity and visibility of bad dependencies
  • Worked on schema access in the SQLStore (of the query component)
• Discussions/Press
  • Denny had a look at some data about Wikidata
• Events
  • 3rd Media Web Symposium 2013
  • Wikidata trifft Archäologie
  • SMWCon Spring NYC
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Join us for the Amsterdam and Wikimania hackathon and Wikimania
  • Too many items with the same label and no description? Terminator helps you hunt them all down and clean them up. Also check out the top 1000
  • Interested in the distribution of books by genre on Wikidata and similar things? WikidataStats can help
  • d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot needs input from more people
  • Detailed list of bots
  • Collecting information about creating a bot
  • We’ve crossed Q8000000
• Did you know?
  • When you edit a statement there is a little wheel in front of the text field. This lets you choose between “custom value”, “unknown value” and “no value”. “No value” means that we know that the given property has no value, e.g. Elizabeth I of England had no spouse. “Unknown value” means that the property has a value, but it is unknown which one -- e.g. Pope Linus most certainly had a year of birth, but it is unknown to us.

Wikidata weekly summary #51

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • The first 11 Wikipedias can now include data from Wikidata in their articles (If you want to see it in action see the infobox at it:Torino)
  • Worked on automatic summaries for statements
  • Worked on making properties accessible from the client using their label so you can use {{#property:executive director}} instead of {{#property:p169}} for example
  • Made qualifiers ready for the next deployment (Please test. See details further down.)
  • Selenium tests for qualifiers
  • Fixed some issues related to QUnit testing
  • Worked on improved handling and code design of multiple snak lists in the UI (qualifiers, references)
• Discussions/Press
  • Denny wrote down how we’re planning to support queries on Wikidata. Feedback welcome.
  • Proposal for a vandalism policy
  • Now that improvements for references have been deployed here’s a discussion on the best way to use them. (You can see an example of how it could be used in the source for “CAS registry number” on d:Q153)
  • Should Wikidata have featured items?
  • RFC about restricting the ability to create properties to some users
  • Heise.de reporting about deployment of phase 2 on the first 11 Wikipedias
  • Report about a collaboration event between Wikipedians and archeologists
• Events
  • Newline 2013
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • We’re currently carefully monitoring performance after the deployment of phase 2 on the first 11 Wikipedias. There seem to be a few small issues. As soon as they are resolved we'll deploy on English Wikipedia. All other Wikipedias are planned to follow very soon after that.
  • Bye and a big thank you to Anja, Silke, Jens and John who are leaving the development team at the end of the month and will work on other cool things. You’ll be missed!
  • Ever had any doubt about the possibilities of Wikidata? Talk to Wiri!
  • We worked on reducing the time it takes for Wikidata edits to show up in the Wikipedias and made some progress. Daniel posted an analysis
  • We started running a script on the database in order to make search on Wikidata case-insensitive. This should be finished in a few days and then search should be more useful.
  • In addition to the above we have rolled out a new search box that suggests items. This should also make finding things on Wikidata a lot easier for you.
  • We’re making some progress with Internet Explorer 8 support but there are a lot of issues with it (some outside our control). It’s unclear at the moment how much we can improve it still without spending an unjustified amount of time on it. You can follow the progress at bugzilla:44228
  • Edits are now auto-confirmed for users with more than 50 edits and account age 4 days: bugzilla:46461
  • Do you need old-style interwiki links for a sister project for example? This is for you
  • The Wikimedia Foundation applied as a mentoring organisation for Google Summer of Code again. We have proposed some Wikidata projects for students to take up if the Foundation is accepted again. At least 2 other organisations that applied also propose Wikidata ideas. More details on that once we know which organisations are accepted.
  • Denny hacked together a tree of life based on data from Wikidata
  • Wikidata was added to wikipulse
  • A template to retrieve data from Wikidata if no local value is set
• Did you know?
  • If you need to merge two items d:Help:Merge explains how
• Open Tasks for You
  • See note at the end of this weekly summary
  • Help test qualifiers (m:Wikidata/Notes/Data model primer#Qualifiers - see also example statements there) on the test wiki so we can roll it out with the next release
  • Did you file a bug report for Wikidata or did someone else do it for you? Please take a minute to check if it is still valid. (Thanks for filing it btw!)
  • Add some missing descriptions to those items with the same label?
  • Hack on one of these

Could I have 2 mins of your time? As I’ll be working on some other projects for Wikimedia Germany as well from now on the time I can spend on Wikidata will be reduced. This means I’ll have to figure out what is useful to spend time on. If you’re reading this could you let me know for example on this discussion page? Also if you have ideas how to improve the weekly summaries please post them. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk)

Wikidata weekly summary #52

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • The first year is over. Thank you everyone for being amazing and helping to build Wikidata and making it more than we could possibly have hoped for already. <3
  • Put a lot of work into improved support for Internet Explorer 8
  • Worked on improving recent changes code in client
  • Finished valueview refactoring. Created new extension “ValueView”
  • Implemented string formatter
• Discussions/Press
  • RFC for defining the bureaucrats role on Wikidata
  • RFC about statements for items related to software
• Events
  • upcoming: GLAM-Wiki 2013
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Deployment of phase 2 on English Wikipedia is currently planned for April 8. The remaining Wikipedias are scheduled for April 10. As usual this might change if we run into problems along the way.
  • There is now a page showing the current lag for changes propagating to the Wikipedias so they can show up in watchlists and recent changes for example. This should ideally be in the range of a few minutes. Right now it is higher because of some abnormally high bot activity but decreasing. Should be down to a few minutes soon.
  • There’s now a badge you can add to Wikipedia articles to indicate there is data about it on Wikidata
  • We hit Q10000000
  • A Wikidata item in the wild ;-)
• Did you know?
  • There are a number of task forces that take care of specific jobs or topics on Wikidata
  • You can get database dumps to play with
  • There are a lot of stats about Wikidata on http://stats.wikimedia.org
• Open Tasks for You
  • Hit a random item and add a missing source?
  • Hack on one of these

Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome.

Wikidata weekly summary #53

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • Got some external professional review of our code and architecture and started working on their feedback
  • Worked on reducing the dispatch lag (the time it takes for changes on Wikidata to be sent to the Wikipedias for display in watchlist, recent changes and to purge affected pages)
  • Worked on using Redis for job queue to improve the lag situation even further
  • Created new Wikibase Query extension for phase 3 functionality
  • Autocomments & Autosummaries for SetClaim module
  • Worked on the GeoCoordinate parser
• Events/Press
  • right now: GLAM-WIKI 2013
• Discussions
  • The RFC about bureaucrats was closed
  • RfC about policy for translation admins
  • We need feedback from contributors working on references addition or having tried to add references to statements. Please comment about your problems or your trials at d:Help:Sources
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Deployment of phase 2 on the remaining Wikipedias was delayed because of a high lag of changes being propagated to the Wikipedias. The lag has been reduced considerably now and is going down even more. The new date for deployment will not be next week because there are other large changes on Wikimedia infrastructure scheduled that we do not want to interfere with. It will hopefully happen very soon after that though.
  • Next code update on wikidata.org is planned for Wednesday. This should include qualifiers and bugfixes.
  • There will probably be a short outage/read-only for wikidata.org on Tuesday (database is being switched to MariaDB)
  • If you're a student and interested in coding on Wikidata consider applying for Google Summer of Code.
  • There is a new user right: property creators
  • There is now a page to request deletion of a property
  • We now have Bureaucrats
  • Reasonator was improved and extended (1 2)
• Open Tasks for You
  • Hack on one of these
  • Help draft the next weekly summary

Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome.

Help Project newsletter : Issue 6

The Help Project Newsletter	Issue VI - April 2013
Open Help Conference The Open Help Conference will be taking place June 15-19 in Cincinnati Ohio, USA. The conference includes two days of presentations and open discussions, followed by team "sprints" - collaborative efforts to write and improve documentation. It has been suggested to send a team from Wikipedia/Wikimedia: to share our own knowledge about help, learn from others in the open source community working on similar problems, and to carry out a sprint to improve some aspect of Wikipedia's help. There may be support available for volunteers to attend from the Participation Support program (and your editor is certainly hoping to be there!) Please join the discussion in Meta's IdeaLab if you're interested, and/or have suggestions about what we could work on.	Other news The Article Feedback Tool (v5) has now been changed to be opt-in for all pages. It can be enabled for specific pages by adding Category:Article Feedback 5 to them. There are also a number of new features. It has been proposed to merge the questions forum of the New contributors' help page into the Teahouse. Discussion is taking place here. The help menu at Help:Contents/Browse and its subpages have been largely cleaned up. User:Moxy has created a descriptive help directory. A project on Video and Interactive Tutorials has begun, supported by a Wikimedia Foundation grant. Suggestions for subjects are invited on the talk page.
If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name. Suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter. the wub "?!" 16:22, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
