DYK for Ludmila Pagliero

Thanks for your help Victuallers (talk) 00:02, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

GAR

Good evening Rosiestep! I wanted to touch base with you to see if you had any free time in your very hectic and busy schedule to review one of my current Good Article nominations! I continue to admire and appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, and I would be absolutely flattered and appreciative if you could provide me with guidance and feedback on one of these articles to make it the best that it can be with the information and sources available. Thanks again and take care! -- Caponer (talk) 03:05, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

@Caponer: I'd be glad to! --Rosiestep (talk) 03:11, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you Rosiestep! I look forward to working with you throughout this process! -- Caponer (talk) 11:44, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

More Althorp

I'm currently laying down the owners of Althorp in the history. It would be great if you could help flesh it out with some relevant bio info and source it when you have time!♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:37, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

I've reached page 32 out of about 160 currently but I've gone back to the very beginning right now and am going through the owners. The article will be rough around the edges for a few days as the bones are laid down but it can be fleshed out and copyedited and sourced later! Charles Matthews said ODNB has plenty of relevant hits and there's also the parliament online source I've used for the first owner which might prove useful, or any google book hit.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:42, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi there. Thanks for signing up for the WikiWomen's Edit-a-Thon at Berkeley that is happening today. I look forward to seeing you! We have changed the on-campus venue due to the response we've had, via Wikipedia and Facebook. Please take a look at the event page.

Proposed deletion of José Luis García Pérez

The article José Luis García Pérez has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references.

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. Eyesnore (pc) 02:34, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Yeah it's been nice here yesterday and today. Starting to get itchy eyes actually. Has your book arrived yet? Both Ritz books have arrived and the Waldorf book arrived this morning. The information in them is overwhelming. Will need a big effort to be motivated to read them and start working on the articles! Ya, keep an eye on the GAR, you might spot his pointers before me as you're both nearer in timezones!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:12, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

I love the hall the most I think! I'd have loved to have spent time in that library around 1834 though! Have you started reading it yet? I get lost in it and feel like an English country gent in doing so, I'm sure you'll feel the same when you read it! I've reached page 41 in adding material anyway. Yeah I think the memorial, the Possessions of the Spencers or Art collection of Althorp and the library might be worth a separate article.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:27, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Sounds good. I say Possessions though as they possessed/possess a great range of items beyond art which would be interesting to document!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:46, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Alice Rogoff

I just created a new article for Alice Rogoff. I know how interested you are in womens bios, so I thought you might want to be involved. Collaboration with you is always, well, you already know! :) Juneau Mike (talk) 02:05, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

@Michaelh2001: Would love to! Just finishing up something else and then will look at expanding Rogoff. --Rosiestep (talk) 02:13, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Yes, thanks. :) It's barely a stub, but buying the largest newspaper in the state certainly raises her notability to a whole new level. A lot of work to do, but I look forward to working with you. Juneau Mike (talk) 02:17, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
The article already received a notability warning. It's all good, notability can be well established. I suspect working together we can get past that. Thanks. Juneau Mike (talk) 02:21, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
@Michaelh2001: She's definitely notable. Thanks for suggesting her. I've looked and looking... any chance you can figure out where she was born? I'm too tired to do any more tonight. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:52, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
@Rosiestep: I wasn't worried. It is not uncommon for new pages to receive Notability warnings. This isn't "my first rodeo".
) I have not yet found her place of birth, but haven't had a chance to look yet. I believe she has ties to the Baltimore area. I actually found her dob on a court website here in Alaska. Figured it was non-controversial, didn't provide a link which could be considered as original research anyway. The commons has no photo of her, either as Alice Rogoff or Alice Rubenstein. I will keep my eyes open. I hope you are well. Juneau Mike (talk) 15:23, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Eliza Walker (physician) might interest you. She has an entry on ONDB I believe.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:56, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

I just wanted to let you know that I mentioned you at User talk:Drmies. It was really nice to see you again last Saturday. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 07:33, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

@Cullen328: That was nice, Cullen, and thank you. I am so hopeful that we sparked a fire in some of the editors who attended the event and that they become prolific editors. And congrats again on your FAs. So cool. But the story behind them made it all the richer. Loved the fact that you took a photo of a car at a car show and the next thing you know, it's the right car for the right article at just the right time to be FA-worthy. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:44, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Sylvia Mathews Burwell

I thought you might want to watch the Sylvia Mathews Burwell page. She is President Obama's nominee to take over the Health and Human Services Administration.

Women in dance

Hi Rosie. I've finally decided to put up a preliminary version of Women in dance as it's already quite long. I've been working on it for quite a while but it's been going rather slowly as a result of other commitments. At the moment, there is undue emphasis on ballet but I hope to develop other aspects as soon as possible. Any suggestions/additions/alterations you may have would as always be appreciated.--Ipigott (talk) 19:50, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Glad to see all the work you've done on the article. I'll join in but not right now as I'm taking a little break. --Rosiestep (talk) 01:56, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

A quick question from 2008 & 2009

In the Haneragmiut article it says "the Haneragmiut, Kanhirgmiut and Nuwukpagmiut famous". I was wondering if Kanhirgmiut was a variation on either Kangiryuarmiut or Kangiryuatjagmiut, but neither of the last two groups seem to have lived in the right area.

The other was about the Kilusiktogmiut. I just unlinked Mackenzie River as it's too far west to be the same one as in the Coronation Gulf area. I thought at first it was a typo and that it was supposed to be one of the other rivers that Wikipedia has an article on. However, I found that Stefansson names the same thing. Do you still have access to the Shipley source because it's one of the volumes not online. I was wondering if he gave any idea as to where the river was located. I also noticed that Stefansson says it was on Victoria Island. It's hard to search for the river because most results go back to the main Mackenzie and adding Victoria Island doesn't help as there are two Mackenzie Rivers in Victoria, Australia. Thanks. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 04:17, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

@CambridgeBayWeather: Interesting questions. So regarding the Kanhirgmiut spelling, there's this, which is insufficient to sort out the spellings. I really don't know about the reliability of the Bravo (2002) ref and I'd say the Charlotte, North Carolina (1912) newspaper article is not of much use. So this needs more research. As for the Kilusiktogmiut, I removed the Shipley ref as the URL is wrong; see my edit summary which mentions what I think would have been the more likely ref, but I don't have access to it at this time, not even snippet. The Stefansson (1914) says: "The Kllusiktogmlut, Coronation gulf off mouth of Mackenzie river of Victoria island; Mackenzie region of Victoria island. The KogluktHaryumlut, Gray bay and the Gulf ice off that bay; mouth of the Kogluktiiaryuk (which flows into Gray bay) up that river inland, and elsewhere." Happy Easter, amigo. --Rosiestep (talk) 18:34, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
OK. Thanks. It turns out that rivers are not named in Google Earth and it is possible that the one on Victoria Island has been renamed. Happy Easter. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 19:01, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
@CambridgeBayWeather: I'm going to use this to write a few more articles. If you have access to any resources which might be able to expand on the new articles, that would be great. --Rosiestep (talk) 19:05, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
If I find anything I will let you know. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 19:44, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Ballet

Now that I'm more or less happy with Women in dance, I've started working on biographies again with Ekaterina Kondaurova. I'm trying to improve coverage of the principal dancers of the major companies I listed here. Maybe we could work together on some of them?--Ipigott (talk) 15:38, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

@Ipigott: Women in dance is once of your best works... well written, well referenced, well pictured. Good job. Yes, let's work on some of those articles; I'll take a look now at the list. There are additional dancers we should consider: those who have entries on other language wikipedias. --Rosiestep (talk) 16:15, 27 April 2014 (UTC) Suggestions:

Yes, I'm well aware there are many other male and female dancers on other wikis who should be covered too but I thought we ought to cover the principal ballerinas from the established companies as a priority. After all, those who attend performances of the main companies - or see them on TV - should be able to find pertinent info. Glad you liked Women in dance. There should really be more on folk dance, Chinese and Indian dance and ballroom dancing including tango. I was also hoping American editors would add sections on dancing in film and musicals. Formation dancing could also be covered, perhaps also ice skating.--Ipigott (talk) 17:44, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

I looked at the lists are there are so many names. Where do you suggest to start? Maybe a redlist? Do you have a preference for those who've passed away vs. BLP? --Rosiestep (talk) 17:53, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

I was intending to proceed along the same lines as for the Paris Opera and the Bolshoi. I was not intending to cover all the names, only the principals which I think should be manageable. Maybe we should start with current principals first although it is sometimes more interesting to draw on the records of past performers. A bit of variety might also help. Let's see how things go. You've made a good start on Ida Brun. I'll look more carefully at it tomorrow.--Ipigott (talk) 20:53, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

4th May yeah. I used to get a message from fellow May 4 birthday editors but I think I might have taken my name off the list or something I dunno! Thanks! I don't know, I just like the look of the font and I find it more encyclopedic looking at in than arial. I read recently that there is this German design system for ipad for wiki now which has like old parchment paper and as close to an old encyclopedia as you can get. That was my idea for wiki design. I prefer the text and page to look as much like an old book as possible. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:48, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Good Article review invitation

Hi Rosiestep! Thanks again so much for the kind advice about the Paris Exposition, 1900 (film series) article a few months ago.

At the time, you had expressed an interest in doing more Good Article reviews, so I'm writing to let you know of one you might be interested in: the article A Trip to the Moon, about the famous silent film of the same name. The article was listed as a Good Article for a few years, but was then delisted; having given it a major expansion and overhaul, I think it may now be ready to return to Good Article status.

If you're still interested, I hope you'll consider reviewing it; I'd greatly appreciate advice on what's working, what isn't, and what still needs to be done. Thanks again, and be well!--Lemuellio (talk) 18:51, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

Finished my input on it. Any chance you could review Earth structure? for GA. It's Aymatth's article, I've just gone through it and made some minor additions and edits. Considering the scope and complexity of the topic I think it's a very good article.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:57, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Skyrim Hall of Fame

Hello,I would like to suppose you or one of your fellow contributers contact Bethesda game studios and ask if they could open up a Elder Scrolls Hall of Fame. I myself am a level 100 in The Elder Scrolls 5:Skyrim. I would be honored to be one of the first Elder Scrolls Hall of Famers. Also, It isn't just for me. People who has played the game hundreds of hours and then some deserves Hall of Fame status. I myself am a 15 time illusion skill master. I think i've qualified for Elder Scrolls Hall of Fame. Elder Scrolls Hall of Fame isn't just for Skyrim. Great gamers from Arena,Daggerfell,Morrowind,and Oblivion deserves to be recognized for their dedication to Elder Scrolls. Please contact Bethesda game studios and suggest this idea,and make a wikipedia page about it maybe.

Althorp

Hoping to get Althorp finished and at GA by the end of the month. I've nearly gone through the whole book now and think I've added pretty much what I can, only about 30 pages left. I've removed some of the shorter sections into chunkier ones. Offhand the lead needs significant expansion, the British Listed Buildings source needs to be added and news articles looked through. We can copyedit it once done. Those sub articles you suggested could be created some time or other. It's the sort of article though you really have to be in the mood to edit so no worries if you don't want to add much more! If you could expand the lead to summarise the article though that would be great.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:48, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Found this. If you scroll back to index can you see if you can extract some info on the library and drawing room sections which mention the paintings in those rooms and anything else? Also found this A few measurements and area of rooms could be given.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:52, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

I've gone through the whole book. I don't think there's much more left to add from it! All the article needs now is citations where marked and a final copyedit and I think it'll be ready for GA. A lot of the citations needed are in the book, just look at the nearby page numbers from other sources nearby and you'll locate them. The material on objects and paintings from the website and that 1822 source etc can be used if we feel like create a sub article or two. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:08, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Agreed on both! Although if enough can be found on paintings then a sub article from it on art would be good. I have a feeling Christie's has a website with a search thing which might pick up Althorp or Spencer family in a search and list items sold. I found [13]!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:09, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

It's what you do best on wikipedia I think! Excellent work! If you reach Rasshied Din there's plenty of bio info in here.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:18, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

I was under the impression the Port of Skagen was Ian's article but he says it's yours. I picked it as the next collaboration purely because I think it looks a decent overview already and I think we can get it up to GA with minimal effort. Pigott says he's not interested. No rush anyway, let's get Althorp done and dusted first!♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:20, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Request for comment

Hello there, a proposal regarding pre-adminship review has been raised at Village pump by Anna Frodesiak. Your comments here is very much appreciated. Many thanks. Jim Carter through MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:46, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Wollstonecraft-Wadewitz

Hello Rosie. Thank you so much for offering to take part virtually in the memorial event. I'll just remind you that we're on British Summer Time, so that's UTC+1. I think that makes us eight hours ahead of California. I don't know what hours you plan to be online, but having someone from Teahouse will be a real boon. It wasn't around when I was new, ten years ago, and so I haven't needed to get to grips with it. It could be just the right intro for some of the people I'm expecting tomorrow. This is the first editathon that I've created. Any advice is most welcome. Are there any articles that you're particularly wanting to work on? Carbon Caryatid (talk) 13:15, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

@Carbon Caryatid: I'm really glad you're doing this memorial event tomorrow. I'll be online from around 0700 or 0800 PST. I'll create women's biographies to honor Adrienne's passion (and mine). Assuming there's Outcomes section on your project page, I'll add my contributions there. Be glad to talk about the Teahouse, too! --Rosiestep (talk) 15:11, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

So that would be about 3 or 4pm for our participants. We intend to have the second session beginning at 2:30, so maybe if a beginner has been through our induction, you might like to shepherd them for an hour or so via Teahouse? Perhaps I could match you up with a given person? As for particular women's bios, are you interested in those around Mary Wollstonecraft? Or more generally? Whatever. Just glad to have you aboard! Carbon Caryatid (talk) 16:21, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

@Carbon Caryatid: There are usually plenty of folks at the Teahouse who can assist newbies so let's just point editors in that direction if they have questions. Once I'm online, I'll keep an eye on the Teahouse. I'll probably be translating women's bios from other language wikipedia(s) to the en lang one, so not concentrating on Mary Wollstonecraft. --Rosiestep (talk) 01:23, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

It's all going well so far. Thanks for adding the article you worked on to the event page. We'll be ending in the next hour or so. Then to the pub! I wish Adrianne could see this place. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 16:04, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

@Carbon Caryatid: Glad to hear it! --Rosiestep (talk) 16:08, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

Are you in SF at one of the Wadewitz events then Rosie? Don't forget the Ginetta Sagan Award and missing winners!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:46, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Althorp

The article Althorp you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Althorp for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know. - SchroCat (talk) 20:00, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

An award for you!

The English Lady's Aristocratic Barnstar
For your help in getting Althorp, a core country house article, up to GA status. I think it's one of our greatest achievements in working together to date and really looks good! Hope to work with you on others... ♦ Dr. Blofeld 06:54, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Aw happy anniversary!! My 8th is coming up on the 14th! Although I did visit once or twice back in 2005 with some minor edits but didn't join properly until June 2006 I think. To a lot of people on here who are more recent 2006 probably feels like the wiki dark ages but at the time it didn't feel like that at all! I remember when I arrived we had 1.1 million articles! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:33, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

I expanded the lede but couldn't find anything but this. I think it's a blog but it contains some info which could be added, providing it can be reliably source. The Intercontinental Hotel Madrid is definitely worth blueing! Working on the Skagen harbour shortly. BTW I did add to Foxcroft, not sure if it's interesting enough for DYK though.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:57, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Me, bored? Never!! Just been having great fun actually compiling User:Dr. Blofeld/Great films and thinking of all the films which I've enjoyed. That's like the ones I've seen and thought were great over a 20 years period or so!! It probably seems a lot but there's really a staggering amount I haven't seen, particularly art films from 1980-2010. Still missing lots though. I think I'll grade them with a star system for rating. It helps me root out the very good ones from the bad and gives me a list of films on here which I'd be interested in working on. Just for kicks. As I continue to watch films and find new gems I can gradually refine the list and compile a list of truly great films out of it! Can't think why you thought I was bored :-) . BTW there's two articles on Yngvadottir's talk page which might interest you, although I don't think you speak German. Will get around to the Skagen harbour in a day or two!♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:07, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Aw thanks Rosie!! I'd forgotten hehe!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:50, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Eight years yup and still it seems I've hardly cracked Argentine cinema! Most of the top actors and directors are still as I left them when I started them back in 2006/2007 and still many notable films and actors missing! And of course compare our Category:Estonian physicists to the Estonian one etc! We're getting there though right? Will be ever get there though, there's an infinite number of articles possibilities it seems if you also invent articles to cover like Citrus production in Aleppo District :-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:11, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Churches in the Philippines

Hi Rosie. You might be interested in all the new articles about churches and religious buildings in the Philippines. There has been quite a surge over the past few days, all by new editors. Maybe you could give them some encouragement via DYK in order to counter the rather rough treatment some have been getting on their submissions? (See my comment at Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines#Surge of new articles.)--Ipigott (talk) 10:09, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

@Ipigott: Hi Ian. I'd be glad to offer encouragement to these editors. Some of the articles look very good, despite the editors being newbies (which sparks some musing). On the DYK nom page, I tried to find the editors/articles you mentioned on the Tambayan Ph talkpage but I didn't find them... Can you provide links or point me to them in some other way? --Rosiestep (talk) 15:03, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

The articles on not yet on the DYK nom page. My previous attempts at nominating DYKs have been disastrous and so I have decided to leave things to more successful players like you. So it's all up to you.--Ipigott (talk) 15:16, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
Ok, now I understand. I've started some c/e work on the articles. I'll reach out to the individual editors in the next day or two... too tired right now. --Rosiestep (talk) 04:46, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Rosie, my name is Alan and I was lounging in the Treehouse and thought I might see Tree-doc there as he's been a generous mentor to me... However I noticed that you were available and was particularly interested in your efforts to see more notable women added to Wiki... I've recently 'completed' a living person biography and wondered whether you'd be kind enough to provide me with constructive feedback on its construction and compatibility with referencing protocol. Many thanks for any assistance you can provide. InConversationwithAlan (talk) 04:19, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Library: New Account Coordinators Needed

Hi Books & Bytes recipients: The Wikipedia Library has been expanding rapidly and we need some help! We currently have 10 signups for free account access open and several more in the works... In order to help with those signups, distribute access codes, and manage accounts we'll need 2-3 more Account Coordinators.

It takes about an hour to get up and running and then only takes a couple hours per week, flexible depending upon your schedule and routine. If you're interested in helping out, please drop a note in the next week at my talk page or shoot me an email at: jorlowitz@gmail.com. Thanks and cheers, Jake Ocaasi via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 23:41, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Luz del Fuego

Hi, Rosiestep, thank you for creating Luz del Fuego! It's such an interesting biography... Don't you think it would be a good one for a DYK nomation? I've improved it a bit and I figured out that there are several possibilites for a hook. She was named after a lipstick... She danced with snakes... She founded the first naturist club in Brazil... The "Day of Naturism" was created after her... And, maybe others. What's your opinion on it? Cheers, Gabriel Yuji (talk) 04:23, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

I've added some on her film work which is virtually all red links! Care to help start those missing Brazilian films and actors? Brazilian cinema really is a gaping hole on wikipedia!♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:10, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, we can try! :) Gabriel Yuji (talk) 16:13, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

@Gabriel Yuji and Talk: It's turned into a really nice article. Yes, let's nominate it at DYK. Do you want to handle that? --Rosiestep (talk) 15:56, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

No, you can handle it. I'm not good with these things. But I can help for sure. Gabriel Yuji (talk) 16:13, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Well, I'm not sure they're worth working on over a few weeks! I was thinking more some quick stubs to blue link :-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:59, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

I'll look tomorrow. If you have time can you copy edit Esbjerg? I intend nomming it tomorrow.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:59, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I've done a x 3 expansion of Dewailly, should be OK now. Esbjerg at GAN now, Varanasi now current article of the month!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:54, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Here is the Wikidata link we just looked at: http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/autolist.html?q=CLAIM[31%3A5]%20AND%20CLAIM[21%3A6581072] Happy editing! -- Netha (talk) 23:13, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Summer solstice

Reading and editing by it as I'm working midnights right now. In the summer these are the best shifts. I can wander across the apron and take pictures of aircraft that are here. I think I need a new hobby as there is a jet black aircraft out there right now and I got excited because I've never seen one with that particular paint scheme. The idea of an Inuit based library sounds interesting. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 06:46, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

I'm not a pilot so I don't think people would let me fly one. Been up a few times but mostly before I started editing Wikipedia. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 22:37, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

To Rosie- you were a tremendous help at AdaCamp last weekend. You did a wonderful job helping to many learn more about Wikipedia and I really enjoyed getting to know you! --LibraryGurl (talk) 18:01, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

@Librarygurl: Aww, thank you, Librarygurl! AdaCamp was such an amazing experience. I really enjoyed talking about wikipedia and was glad there was so much interest in it. Really enjoyed meeting you and the other fab women at AdaCamp. Can't wait for the next editathon or conference. Let's stay in touch. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:21, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
