If you haven’t finished up your Week 1 homework, there’s still time; post any questions on the class talk page! You can also watch a video of last week’s class on YouTube (earlier audio problems have been corrected).

Hi Pru.mitchell, we look forward to seeing you in class in a few hours. We look forward to seeing you in class in a few hours. Here's the link to our Week 3 class page and to the live webinar.
PLEASE NOTE: If you're not in the USA, please double-check the class time. We have gone on Daylight Savings Time (also known as Summer Time) in the USA, so for some of you the class time will be an hour earlier. (If your country goes on Summer Time in the coming weeks, you will want to check again!)
This week we are going to start off with some basic review of all we've covered. So if you've been feeling behind or confused by all the details, we'll make sure we've got your questions answered before forging ahead! See you soon, -Pete (talk) 16:29, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Looking forward to chatting more with you this week about the Final Project - if you already know which article you're working on, you'll find instructions there for sharing this information easily with your classmates. Post any questions to the class Talk page, please! See you in class tomorrow! Sara FB (talk) 01:45, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Pru.mitchell! Just checking in as we head into the final week of the Writing Wikipedia Articles class. You can look through last week's ether pad notes, check out your homework assignments from Week 5, and watch last week's lecture on YouTube - all right here. Check out my note from last week (above) if you're still diving into your Final Project... or head over to the course talk page to see if anyone else is having the same issues you are!

Interview request
Hi Pru,
I'm a journalist here in Melbourne, doing a story on sockpuppeting.
I'm just hoping I might be able to speak to yourself or someone else in the Melbourne Wiki group about it.
Many thanks, Jack Jckkrr (talk) 23:58, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
Procedural revocation of account creator right
Hi Pru.mitchell, this notification is to let you know that I've removed the accountcreator user right from your account as it was granted for an edit-a-thon that has now concluded. This revocation is procedural and is not a result of misuse of the tool. Should you need this right to assist with edit-a-thons moving forward, please make a request at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Account creator. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Thank you! — MusikAnimal talk 00:29, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide/Meetup 21 - Saturday 19 May 2018

Adelaide Meetup Next: 15 November 2024 Last: 6 March 2020 |
Hi. I found the meetup page contents rather cryptic.
- It took me a while to work out what a Caddie Brain is. Perhaps add a brief bio, and what her role at the meeting will be?
- Maybe something about you and your role?
- Training newbies to do what?
- What is #1lib1ref South Australia?
- What is GLAM Peak SA?
But the main reason I'm here: Approximately where is it likely to be? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:26, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
- P.S. When do you want to make the event public? i.e. When to change ------------------------------------------------------>
Thanks! I have filled out those rough ideas a little more over on the event page. Happy to go public. Hoping to organise venue soon - a library, or uni close as possible to the city. Any suggestions?
- Happy to go public - Bahudhara made it public, so that one's solved. The GLAM workshop in Nuriootpa sounds interesting.
- Venue: Any suggestions? - Ideally with good wireless, possibly computer lab, central, open on Saturdays, with parking and near public transport - Gee, you don't want much, do you! ;-) Maybe @Bahudhara: and/or @Bilby: have something up their sleeves? Pdfpdf (talk) 09:40, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
- In regards to venues, I can probably do something at City West - if I have a rough idea of numbers I can organise wifi access and book one of the experimental teaching rooms in the library, but I won't be able to provide pool computer access as they tend to be reluctant to provide that to visitors. - Bilby (talk) 10:12, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
Thanks @Bilby That sounds great. Uni wireless will be fine - and we ask people to bring a laptop. I think we might get between 10-20 people. Would we fit this many in the library's experimental teaching room? I can do a registration form if numbers are limited. Can you let us know if this is possible? THANKS!
- The room will take about 40 - it is a nice room, with all the walls as whiteboards, although its main purpose is for collaborative work over presentations. - Bilby (talk) 07:02, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
- YES PLEASE - if you can get that, and guest wireless access we will go for it. Does that time (10am - 1pm) suit you on Saturday 19 May?
- The time should be fine, although I'll try and book it for a couple of extra hours to be safe. There are two rooms next to each other, so I'll grab the one with the better view. Wifi access isn't a problem, but I'll need to hand out accounts when people arrive. - Bilby (talk) 07:37, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
- The room is booked - Jeffery Smart Building, University of South Australia City West Campus, off Hindley street. Room JS5-13, seats 36, booked for 9am to 3pm to make sure you have some leeway. I've also requested guest wi-fi access for 30 people. - Bilby (talk) 04:59, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Event coordinator
Hi Pru! As discussed, I've added you to the Wikipedia:Event coordinator group, which will allow you to create accounts at the events which you run. The instructions are in the link - there are a few rules, but the main one is to ensure that when creating accounts you tick the box to send a temporary random password to the provided link. Otherwise, all should be good. - Bilby (talk) 01:20, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
