- Hi Nick Moyes! Thank you for your note. I don't have much experience with DYK but I put in a submission for Julius' Castle today. I am not seeing my submission on the pending page however. Does this mean I need to resubmit it? I hope I didn't accidently delete it! :( Jooojay (talk) 19:12, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
OK, I think I found it but does it need to be moved? Jooojay (talk) 19:16, 19 July 2017 (UTC) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Julius%27_Castle- Nevermind, figured it all out! Jooojay (talk) 23:21, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm TJRC. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Campbell, California, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

- Hello TJRC, thanks for the note. I was using VE which makes citation within templates nearly impossible. I re-added in a citation today via the source code editing. Sorry for the inconvenience. Jooojay (talk) 22:58, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
- Excellent, thanks! I used VE for a couple of days, then ran away screaming. In any case, I wouldn't worry all that much about using citation templates. I use them exclusively, but even a bare URL would be enough to pass the WP:V bar. TJRC (talk) 23:01, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

LOL @ TJRC, I have similar feelings about VE myself, but I also have an irrational idealism that one day VE could possibly make editing more diverse and accessible and hopefully improve the quality of articles on Wikipedia (if they could ever fix all the flaws). I am probably being completely naive however since it seems to be getting worse in design/UX and not better! :( Jooojay (talk) 23:09, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Sunday July 30: Action=History Wiki-Hackathon @ Ace Hotel
| Sunday July 30: Action=History Wiki-Hackathon @ Ace Hotel | |
|---|---|
 On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at Ace Hotel New York hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics, practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. This is an opportunity for all to gather, share and work collectively towards a more robust account of history. For this month, we'll focus on Wikipedia casual editing, ways to use and develop Wikidata, building better edit-a-thon tools for a variety of different thematic campaigns, and user-testing them with the community. Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.
Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) 14:21, 24 July 2017 (UTC) | |
