Disambiguation link notification for March 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bonita, California, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Balboa Park (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

DYK for Chris Cate

On 20 March 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Chris Cate, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Chris Cate is the first Asian American to serve as a San Diego City Council member in decades? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Chris Cate. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Chris Cate), 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.

SDCC 2017 Panel proposal

@Doczilla: In a conversation with Bluerasberry (talk · contribs) and Pharos (talk · contribs), your name came up as a potential panelist or moderator for a Wikipedia/Wikimedia panel. Would you be interested? I am also looking to see if mxn (talk · contribs) is interested as well, as his work on Vietnamese Wikipedia, I think would be an interested story to tell.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 00:02, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Doczilla, I read on your user page that you have presented at Comic Con in the past. RightCow is in San Diego, I am in New York with the Wikipedians there, and we have been wondering when and how we should present Wikipedia at a Comic Con. It seems like there are already Wikipedians attending in both San Diego and NYC. Do you have any thoughts on what sort of presentation might be right for this crowd? Would you like to talk more about a panel for this year? Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:12, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for thinking of me. Yes, I've been on panels there and at many other cons. I'm usually on at least four SDCC panels each year. I've always thought a panel about Wikipedia could be interesting if done right, so I'm totally up for this. Doczilla _{@SUPERHEROLOGIST} 17:47, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

@Psanchez820 and Mxn:, would you be interested in being on this panel as well? @Doczilla: would you be interested in moderating this panel?

How does this sound like for a panel description:

Title: Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia
Description: Wikipedia is one of the most popular websites on the internet, and is the most popular general reference work. Millions have contributed edits, to create a near endless amount of articles, in dozens of languages (including Klingon, and American Sign Language (in incubator stage)). Come and listen to some of the many editors of Wikipedia,-list of panelists will be added here- learn how you too can become a user of Wikipedia, and ask questions to expand your knowledge.

I am thinking that a maximum of 5 panelist would be good, giving each 6 minutes to talk, allowing for 20 minutes of questions (as panels are an hour each, but they usually ask to give time at the beginning and end of your hour for a buffer for the panel before and after).--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 18:32, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

The title needs something to jazz it up and grab attention, maybe a subtitle referring to things like Klingon language. The convention organizers get 4 or 5 times as many submissions as they can accept, so we really need to grab their attention. This does have an advantage over some topics because SDCC needs educational panels to reinforce their nonprofit status. Doczilla _{@SUPERHEROLOGIST} 18:55, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Perhaps something like "Behind the edit button: A look at Wikipedia"?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:03, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Wow! thanks for thinking of me! I would be very interested in being in the panel. I haven't been on panels like this before but I think that the Comic Con crowd could definitely be interested in Wikipedia. It could include a look at a specific article and showing them what happens "Behind the edit button" literally? Psanchez820 (talk) 19:40, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
