Templates
[edit]Greetings. I have just had to revert a lot of your edits adding a banner to talk pages. {{WPBannerMeta}} is not designed to be used on pages directly; it is used to construct other templates which are then used on articles. Let me know if I can help you further. Thanks — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:13, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- Further: I have created a template for you. Now you can just add {{Great Backlog Drive}} to those pages and everything will be fine. Regards — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:20, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
Adoption
[edit]Hi Dybabdulwadud. I see you had an active adoption request outstanding. However, since you have not edited in a few months I've taken this down. Should you wish to be adopted upon your return, feel free to create a new request. WormTT · (talk) 08:51, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks, I appreciate it! I may renew the adoption request when I am active on Wikipedia once again. D. Y. B. (Abdul Wadud) (talk) 23:27, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
April - National Contribution Month
[edit]During the month of April, Wikimedia Canada is preparing the National Contribution Month, and we are looking for experienced contributors to organize a contribution day (or half-day) in their region.
Contribution days are activities where Wikipedia's contributors, students, or anybody interested in contributing to Wikipedia meets together to collectively improve a predetermined theme. This meetings generally take place in library where references are easy of access, but can be organized in any communal room. Beside improving articles, a goal of this participatory workshops is to initiate neophyte in the cooperative contribution of Wikipedia.
If you are interested in organizing or participating in a contribution day in your region, communicate witht he national team on the project's talk page. The exact agenda of each local event is left to the discretion of the organizer. Help is available for the organization from contributors who already organized these type of days, so don't be worried. If you have any questions or want more information, don't hesitate to contact us.
