Basic taste[edit]

Hi Betakate! You delite "Styptic" taste without any motivation. But you really can separate "Styptic" taste to other "Basic taste"? If no, propose recover it in article. If yes - said what components (in %) formed "Styptic" taste :-) Alexandrov 12:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alexandrov. I removed the heading "Styptic" in Basic taste because it contained no information in that section (diff). It would be great if you have sourced information on styptic taste you can share for that article!. -betakate 13:29, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OAIS[edit]

Hello. OAIS was deleted because someone used Wikipedia:Proposed deletion (PROD) on it, and there were no objections within 5 days. The deleting admin also presumably thought it should go. However, I've looked at the article and, whilst not outstanding it wasn't all that bad, and not apparently a copy-paste from anywhere. Part of the deal with PROD is that, if anyone later contests the deletion, it should be restored straightaway. I have therefore undeleted the article, at OAIS. Enjoy! -Splash - tk 16:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Volunteer opportunity in Bethesda, Thursday, July 16[edit]

The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)

The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)

The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.

If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.
