User talk:Y: Difference between revisions

At WikiXDC in January, User:Harej proposed that DC submit a bid to host Wikimania 2012. A bid and organizing committee is being formed and seeks additional volunteers to help. Please look at our bid page and sign up if you want to help out. You can also signup for the bid team's email list.
To support the Wikimania bid, more events like WikiXDC, and outreach activities like collaborations with the Smithsonian (ongoing) and National Archives, there also has been discussion of forming Wikimedia DC, as an official Wikimedia chapter. You can express interest and contribute to chapter discussions on the Wikimedia DC Meta-Wiki pages.
To discuss all this and meet up with special guest, Dutch Wikipedian User:Kim Bruning, there will be a meetup, Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 16 this Tuesday at 7pm, at Capitol City Brewery, Metro Center. There will be a pre-meetup Wikimania team meeting at 6pm at the same location.

Apologies for the short notice for this meetup, but let's discuss when, where & what for DC Meetup #17. Also, if you haven't yet, please join wikimedia-dc mailing list to stay informed. Cheers, User:Aude (talk)

EASL

Dear User:Y,

I am writing to you in regard to the recent deletion of the EASL (European Association for the Study of the Liver) article I created (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EASL).

The European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) is a charitable and not for profit organisation that aims to encourage the education and awareness of liver disease, which affects a growing number of people around the world.

It has certainly never been my intention to promote or advertise EASL; I felt I had followed the guidelines accordingly and looked to other similar organisations for guidance. I simply wanted to create an encyclopaedic article that people can use for reference. As EASL is Europe’s leading professional liver disease association, and the International Liver Congress is the world’s largest meeting of liver professionals, I felt EASL met the notability criteria.

I have been through and made extensive changes to the original article content, which I’ve saved at User:FabioMarra/EASL. Before recreating the EASL article, I am contacting you at this stage as per the re-submission message.

I would be very grateful for your thoughts and guidance on how to improve and amend the article to ensure it meets the guidelines. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards, FabioMarra (talk) 22:22, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You need an impartially written article based on independent secondary sources. "EASL: Past and Present" and the Journal of Hepatology obviously don't qualify, because they were/are both produced by EASL. What you have there is a promotional piece based on ineligible sources. -- Y not? 22:34, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
