Deletion request

Hi Fæ. I saw you recently deleted the page Fliter. Could you delete User talk:PauloHelene too please? See also here. Trijnstel 21:42, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Less sure about this one. Do you know what the wikia site linked is about? Unless obvious promotion I would tend to leave it unless the account does something else dubious. Thanks for pointing it out. Cheers-- 07:15, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Popups

Did you get it to work on this wiki? Harry Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:04, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Nope, I'm not sure what the missing element is... -- 21:08, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Wikimedian in Residence (BL)

Hello Fæ, I have seen this post advertised and believe I meet many of the criteria; my question is, since I am not so long-established an editor as some, would I (or others of similar standing) nevertheless be someone Wikimedia UK might potentially be prepared to endorse - or are you looking for someone with a history going back to year zero? Many thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis 08:13, 15 February 2012 (UTC) (User_talk:Maculosae_tegmine_lyncis)

Wikimedia UK Annual Conference 2012

I'm writing to let you know that WikiConference UK 2012 is coming up, on Saturday 12 May 2012, in London. Some time ago you indicated that you are interested in attending the event. If this is still the case please help us in planning for the event by registering at http://donate.wikimedia.org.uk/wikicon12. The conference will incorporate both presentations and talks about Wikipedia/Wikimedia, as well as Wikimedia UK's Annual General Meeting. It is free to attend. If you have any questions please contact Daria Cybulska on daria.cybulska@wikimedia.org.uk or 0207 065 0994. Hope to see you there! Richard Symonds (talk) 15:09, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Train the Trainers

I am pleased to announce that the Train the Trainers event which you have expressed interest in will take place on the weekend of 9-10 June at the Wikimedia UK office, 56 Leonard Street, London EC2A 4LT.

The timings of the training are roughly: Saturday 9:30 am - 6:30pm, Sunday 9am - 5pm. Light breakfast and lunch will be provided; we are also planning to go for a meal after the training on Sunday.

It is vital that you do not miss the start of the training session, so before confirming your availability please do make sure you can make the start time of the training.

We are able to cover travel and accommodation, including if you need to travel on Friday - an advance notice will be appreciated!

Please reply promptly by emailing daria.cybulska@wikimedia.org.uk (or 0207 065 0994) and confirming your availability - places are limited.

If you are not able to attend this time, we will have another training in October, and you will be more than welcome to sign up then. Richard Symonds (talk) 15:18, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Board report

FYI, I've updated a couple of figures on Reports 30Jun12 after our conversation on Friday - the workshops have now happened, so we've got exact numbers rather than estimates. Andrew Gray (talk) 15:35, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Board meeting categories

Hi Fæ. Have you seen Category:Meetings and Category:Meeting agendas? You seem to be duplicating that category structure with Category:Board meetings... Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:27, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll take a look. -- (talk) 12:34, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I was aware but I think we ought to gravitate to organizing Board meetings as a child of Meetings. Now we have staff, sub-committees and programmes to organize, all these things need to have meeting notes and minutes documented on-wiki; even if they seem scarce at the moment. Cheers -- (talk) 12:37, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
That's true, and makes sense. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:39, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for sorting out my inadvertent deletion, some of glitch I think.Leutha (talk) 16:29, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk pages

Hi! Could you please make your talk page comments easier to follow? This edit, despite the summary "ce" (which I interpret as "copy-edit"), adds new content to a comment of yours from several days before and updates the date. Please post new comments - don't change old ones like that because it makes the chronology of the conversation very difficult to follow. The only way to understand what is going on is to look at the diffs, and it should be possible to follow a talk page without looking at diffs. (I also note that you tend to make a lot a copy edits - it would be easier to follow recent changes and page histories if you proof read your comments before posting them!) Thanks! --Tango (talk) 12:30, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

NP, I'll try harder to be clearer. The convention is that you can tack on information if nobody has replied yet, but these are not hard and fast working practices as the intention is always to avoid confusion. Yes, ce is a shorthand for copyedit. We could import conventions for talk page discussion, but we would become in rapid danger of attracting too many wikilawyers; and a handful of those is enough for any wiki. -- (talk) 13:18, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
Tacking something on the end five minutes later because you thought of something just as you hit "Save" is one thing. Tacking something on after several days is confusing! I've just seen you added something to your report to the board meeting with "ce" as the edit summary - adding content is not a copy edit... I don't think we need to import formal conventions, but just try to be clear about what you are doing! Thanks! --Tango (talk) 18:55, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Image copyright

Hi Fæ. I'm sorry that you were upset by the tagging of File:User Map sketch by Fae.jpg and other files that you've uploaded as copyright unclear. My intention was for that tagging to act as a prompt to those that have uploaded files to this wiki to clarify the copyright of their files using one of the templates referred to in the message. I'm hoping that most of the files can be clearly marked as freely licensed or copyrighted as appropriate. If you would be happy to clearly release your uploads under a free license, then would you mind posting a permission statement here, or update the copyright tags on the files as appropriate? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 21:02, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Library

Fae, I left you a question in January on Talk:Library. Please take a look when you get a moment. Richard Symonds (WMUK) (talk) 14:41, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

I've just sent you an email about this. Richard Symonds (WMUK) (talk) 12:18, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Sure, done. -- (talk) 22:55, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
