Disambiguation link notification for April 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Neave Brown, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Utica. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

East London meetups
Hi,I am sitting in an almost empty Waitrose Café, Canary Wharf, on a Wednesday evening. I wandered around looking for a suitable place for a meet up: Unfortunately the Starbucks outside the library shuts at 7:00 pm. I think this place would be fine - almost empty, reasonable price with free coffee if you buy something (i.e. a cake?). After all the talk on WMUK list I thought it would be better to do something. What I would suggest is perhaps an East London meetup on the last Wednesday of the month, starting wed 24 June. What do you think? Leutha (talk) Leutha (talk) 19:41, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

More Ivan Pope
Hi, User:LoopZilla -- as an old-timer from the early Internet days, I'm also frustrated that we can't find more on Ivan Pope. I just spent about two hours trying to track down older books that might say something about him, but have generally failed. I also dug through some of my very elderly "how to use this new thing called the Internet" books (dated 1993 and 1994), but they are US-based and don't include 3W magazine or anything else that Pope was involved in. I did a virtual cruise of the British Library's collection, but they don't seem to have gathered Zines. I say let's just toss this thing out into mainspace and hope that someone else has access to early archives. (BTW, archive.org was a bust as well.) I'll add a comment on the talk page that we are indeed fishing for help and hope that the article stays around to gather attention. It's a long shot, but I can't come up with anything else.

Help decide the future of Wikimania
The Wikimedia Foundation is currently running a consultation on the value and planning process of Wikimania, and is open until 18 January 2016. The goals are to (1) build a shared understanding of the value of Wikimania to help guide conference planning and evaluation, and (2) gather broad community input on what new form(s) Wikimania could take (starting in 2018).
After reviewing the consultation, we'd like to hear your feedback on on this survey.
In addition, feel free to share any personal experiences you have had at at a Wikimedia movement conference, including Wikimania. We plan to compile and share back outcomes from this consultation in February.
With thanks,

Contacting Editors from the Ada Lovelace Editathons
Hi LoopZilla,
I hope you don’t mind me contacting you via your talk page. I’m a new Editor to Wikipedia, part of a small research team based at the University of Birmingham in the UK. I’m getting in touch as we’re trying to contact all the Editors who were involved in the Ada Lovelace Editathons in Oxford or London. If you have been, or still are, involved in editing, whatever the scale of your involvement, we would be very grateful for the opportunity to talk to you about your experiences. In the first instance, we’ve set up a short (10 minute) survey, which you can access via my User Talk Pages. If you are interested in helping with our research project, please can you drop me a line?
