Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted at LSU

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian in Louisiana. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Louisiana State University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Baton Rouge and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 17:11, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Delayed response

You may have forgotten it by now, but over a year ago, you asked this question at Help talk:Files. Well, no one ever answered it, so I moved it to the help desk. I don't know the answer, but I'm sure someone sitting at the help desk will answer it shortly. Happy editing! pluma Ø 02:46, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank You for the Wikipedia Picture

Hello, My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware picture. I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:

http://www.freeenglishsite.com/

I also am a "Mormon" and my web site has a Mormon section that contains my Book of Mormon map (pictures of actual locations), my translation of Egyptian hieroglyphs from the Book of Abraham, and other items. I have shared and discussed these with various LDS general authorities and given many fireside presentations about them in Japan, Thailand and USA. My web site sections about the USA and World also have LDS membership and temple information for each country.

I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site: 1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm

2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm

3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/lessons/index.htm Slang Dictionary link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/slang/Eslang_a.htm

Prior to retirement, I taught English at several private and public universities in the United States.

Please share this free site with your friends. I hope all will enjoy the pictures and find the English information useful. Sincerely, 

--75.169.8.9 (talk) 15:51, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Bacolod Philippines Temple moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Bacolod Philippines Temple, is not suitable as written to remain published. The temple doesn’t need to have been built but it needs in depth coverage in independent sources. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thanks for creating a File:Wasatch_Front.png map, and hooking it up to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints_in_Utah and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_temples_of_The_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints_by_geographic_region.

MeekMark (talk) 21:10, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

MeekMark, yes it was getting crowded which is why I created it. I also combined all regions of the US (with exceptions of the Wasach front) into one map. In additon changed it to lat/lon cordinate locations for easier placement and if ever needed, transfer to other maps.Dmm1169 (talk) 23:08, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico.

I'm new to editing articles on Wikipedia but I noticed some incorrect information for the page titled, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico. I tried to edit the information but it doesn't seem to be showing up. Since you have made edits before, can you add this information in? It is in regards to the first native people baptized in Mexico. In 1876 Brigham Young sent out Elders to Mexico and instructed them to contact and preach to the Yaqui Indians. They were Elder Helaman Pratt, Meliton Trejo Gonzalez, Louis Garff, George Terry, James Z. Stewart and his brother Isaac. Elders Pratt, Terry and Garff found success in Hermosillo and on May 20, 1877 baptized Jose Epifanio Jesus and a few days later on May 24th baptized Jose Severo Rodriguez, Maria de la Cruz Pasos, Cruz Parra and Jose Vicente Parra. Maria de la Cruz Pasos was the first female baptized in Mexico and Jose Epifanio Jesus was the first male. The source for this information is found in the Deseret news from an article written August 3, 2002 entitled, "Early Missionary Journey to Sonora". The information had been gathered by Elder Hugo Montoya who is a General Authority Seventy of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was serving as in the Mexico Temple at the time that he gathered the correct information. --MopcambmMalolo

MopcamMalolo, Thank you for your input and contributions! I'm not sure why your edits aren't showing up. I'll review this and make the appropreate changes.Dmm1169 (talk) 16:08, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your corrections! There is just one more. This statement is incorrect "Desideria Quintanar de Yáñez became the first woman in Mexico to join the church." She was baptized after Maria de la Cruz Pasos so the statement makes the history section a little confusing. She could be listed as the second woman to be baptized in Mexico because I don't want her name taken out completely...Or maybe the first woman in Mexico City. Thank you! MM

MM, In transcribing from what you put down to LDS in Mexico, I simply listed the group as the first baptisms in Mexico rather than saying first man/woman.

Yes, thank you for that! The first man and woman listed as baptized statement was part of the original information in the history paragraph before any changes were added. I added the word City to the later original sentence so it reads that Desideria...is the first woman in Mexico City to join the Church, because the new information stated that Maria was the first baptized. The edit seems to work. It sounds a little more clear to me. It matches the information that Plotino was the first man in Mexico City to join. So now there is the first group of five people that were baptized, then 2 and 3 sentences after that information it lists the first 2 to join in Mexico City--Plotino and Desideria. So I believe that information is a little clearer as to the order of those baptized. Those are all the changes that I requested. Again, thank you for your help.

Red link categories

Hello, Dmm1169,

Please do not add nonexistent, red link categories to articles, templates or categories unless you plan on immediately creating these categories and they fit into the existing Wikipedia category structure. See WP:REDNO for guidance. If you wish for a category to be created, you can also request this at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects and categories. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!

LDS country templates

Hi I wonder what's the purpose of creating the various Template:LDS in Country/Foo as separate templates? It doesn't seem like they're going to be used anywhere except in the main The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Foo articles, in which case it would be better to place the content in those articles directly. The naming, which uses a slash, also results in fake WP:subpage-like titles that aren't really subpages because Template:LDS in Country doesn't exist. Maybe what you want to do would be to create Template:Infobox LDS in country and have it take relevant parameters and pass it to the main infobox template? --Paul_012 (talk) 04:25, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your advice! Looking at this I agree to include it in the individual pages rather than its own template. I'm not sure how to create an infobox with parameters. The intent was to link the templates to the infobox with parameters, but I'm not sure how to make an infobox with parameters.Dmm1169 (talk) 04:40, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

I think I got it. I've created Template:LDS in Country using copied an pasted values and only changed the name. After that, I tried Cambodia, and it seems to work. I did not include the work Infobox in the template name so I hope that doesn't matter. If it does, let me know.Dmm1169 (talk) 05:55, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Including "infobox" in the name isn't technically necessary, though following the standard naming scheme will help keep things easier to maintain in the long term. (Templates can be renamed using the normal "Move" function; redirects work with them as well.) It's also more usual to use lower case for the parameters, i.e. | data1 = {{{membership|}}} instead of | data1 = {{{Membership|}}} (parameter names are case-sensitive). I've moved the category to the documentation subpage. Other than that, it seems to be working mostly well. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:52, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
