On 28 March 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Police reform in the United States, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the 2015 commission on police reform in the United States controversially recommended that independent prosecutors investigate when an officer kills a civilian while on duty? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Police reform in the United States. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

I am a Teahouse host and did not feel it was appropriate to contradict another host in the Teahouse so I am leaving a message here to let you know that I am very interested in what you are doing to help new editors to read the signpost. Please give me more information if you can. Best Regards,

Hello Books & Bytes subscribers. There is a new Visual Editor reference feature in development called Citoid. It is designed to "auto-fill" references using a URL or DOI. We would really appreciate you testing whether TWL partners' references work in Citoid. Sharing your results will help the developers fix bugs and improve the system. If you have a few minutes, please visit the testing page for simple instructions on how to try this new tool. Regards, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:48, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Pine, you had asked about Motivations for editing Wikipedia. I have collected graphs about that at de:user:Atlasowa/editor motivation, because it's an important question and almost everyone thinks about this at some time. Here are some answers:

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

Dear Pine I just realised (with a sense of shame) that I hadn't thanked you for the lovely kitten pic you sent me. Please forgive my bad manners - I didn't have time to respond when I opened the post but meant to do so asap, and somehow it just slipped away from me. I am so sorry. The photo was most welcome. Thank you. All the best Plutonium27 (talk) 12:08, 2 May 2015 (UTC) PS Re the Hillsborough links you sent - Was it your IP who sent me an explanation about the message I'd received re Hillsborough (anon but turned out to be from User::LynneFox)? If so, many thanks for that: I'd looked up my posts to see what may have caused her to contact me but couldn't see anything relevant and so I was quite puzzled. JFT98.

The second round one has all wrapped up, and round three has now begun! Congratulations to the 34 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our second round. Leading the way overall was Cas Liber (submissions) in Group B with a total of 777 points for a variety of contributions including Good Articles on Corona Borealis and Microscopium - both of which received the maximum bonus.
Special credit must be given to a number of high importance articles improved during the second round.
The points varied across groups, with the lowest score required to gain automatic qualification was 68 in Group A - meanwhile the second place score in Group H was 404, which would have been high enough to win all but one of the other Groups! As well as the top two of each group automatically going through to the third round, a minimum score of 55 was required for a wildcard competitor to go through. We had a three-way tie at 55 points and all three have qualified for the next round, in the spirit of fairness. The third round ends on June 28, with the top two in each group progressing automatically while the remaining 16 highest scorers across all four groups go through as wildcards. Good luck to all competitors for the third round! Figureskatingfan (talk · contribs · email), Miyagawa (talk · contribs · email) and Sturmvogel 66 (talk · contribs · email) 16:41, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Police reform in the United States you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Delldot -- Delldot (talk) 22:21, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
The article Police reform in the United States you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Police reform in the United States for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Delldot -- Delldot (talk) 23:01, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello Pine, perhaps you remember me from WMCON15, I held a talk on 100wikidays. I just finished Rila Monastery Nature Park. Would you throw a glance on my translation from Bulgarian, because nature topics are definitely not the area of my expertise, but I happened to write an article on a nature park. Thank you very much in advance! --Lord Bumbury (talk) 00:10, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Pine,
I saw your Signpost article and I was wondering if there were any demographic snapshots of who went to this conference...how many people from the U.S. and other countries, % of women attending, other stats like that. The report is otherwise very comprehensive but it would be nice to see if the people who attended reflected the make-up of editors of the WMF projects. Maybe someone at WMF has this data. Liz Read!
