LA to FA 2022

Dear Wikipedian, You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on Los Angeles to Featured article status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, add your name here! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 00:19, 10 January 2022 (UTC) To opt out of future mailings about LA meetups, please remove your name from this list.

   JSFarman - Was this actually you that made this edit? If so, you accidentally did so while logged out. I went ahead and suppressed your IP address for you just in case. If this was not you, please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 07:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

   Oshway, thank you! It was me; I was on my mobile, and when I previewed the page my sig showed up as 4 tildes. I was overexcited. And overtired. JSFarman (talk) 15:34, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

   JSFarman - Thanks for letting me know! No worries; I'm just glad that I was able to handle it quickly before it even had a chance to become a potential concern. ;-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:12, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Maybe...

1. epolk: Everything- not sure what work schedule will be at that time so not sure if I can make the call.
2. Purplebackpack89: Emphasis in history and geography. Friday is always a busy day for me at work so I'll either be on at the beginning or the end.
3. 元素周期表第99位元素: Translate in to Chinese. I would not be there on time.
