Wisdom of the Week[edit]

"Women's minds are cleaner than men's because women are always changing them."- Chris Wagner HELLO

Welcome[edit]

Welcome and keep up the good work. Bignole 02:50, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot! I've seen your contributions to "Smallville" season 5 and your signature on the discussion page! I hope to see a lot more of it! Emily 03:06, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trust me you will. Smallville is probably my favorite show of all time, and I need stuff to do while I am at work. Glad to see that there is one more person that wants to productively add on to this page, and not vandalize it like some. That is one thing you are going to have to look out for on here. There seems to be spurts of vandalism. Always (when you see that someone has updated the page) click the "history" button to see how many have worked on it since you last read, and what they did to the article. Sometimes they sneak in something and it doesn't get caught because of frequent updates at the same time. Bignole 03:56, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I'll try to watch out for Vandalism. I'm still pretty new, though, so some of the stuff is going to take a little while to figure out. I'm still a little confused about how to add a template, for example. So I haven't tried yet. (And I really love "Smallville" too.) Emily 03:53, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I didn't know you responded. When you respond to a message go to that person's page and go to their "discussion" tab and add a response by clicking the "+" sign next to "edit this page". What template are you trying to create? Bignole 21:19, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

{{spoilers}} go to edit this page (your own "edit this page") and view the keystrokes


I don't know about that Harry Potter. I enjoy the movies but it isn't my field of study when it comes to spoilers. Though I am a big movie buff. I did create several movie pages for the Subspecies movies. You probrably haven't heard of them. They are vampire movies. Bignole 00:47, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Proma Sprout fighting Death Eaters Question?[edit]

In the book "Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince", the only people named at the Battle of Hogwarts who were not Death Eaters are: Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Bill Weasley, Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom, Filius Flitwick, Minerva McGonagall, Nymphadora Tonks, Remus Lupin, and Rubeus Hagrid. Also, Professor Sprout was not in the Hospital wing which, according to Ginny, is the place where McGonagall ordered "everybody". This is not to say Professor Sprout was not part of the us that Dumbledore told to patrol the corridors, but their is no evidence she was part of that us either. Sorry I didn't clerify that when I edited the page.

Moody And Pettigrew[edit]

Hello, what I meant at the Pettigrew discussion thread is, that it is not proven that peter was meant to play Barty's role in book 4 originally. All that is said is, that JKR once planned to make him the DADA teacher in book 4. That this DADA teacher was already the fake Moody in disguise is IMO speculation. That was the reason why I changed this part on the Pettigrew site. Neville Longbottom 18:10, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Colours.[edit]

Are you aware that we could've had a nice civil chat about the Harry Potter template colours on my talk page instead of you posting the same thing on 4 HP characters' talk pages trying to get my attention? My talk page (actually, you want to post to this one to get my attention quicker) is open to all who wish to bring up an issue with me. Try to assume good faith, I do have reasons. The templates are standardized to such colours, I'm not making them up. — NathanHP (T • C • W) 07:54, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also since nobody has given you a good welcome...

Differences in GoF book and film[edit]

Hi Emily, this is what I've made so far, just copying the table from the Charlie page. I'm working on the first three "chapters" of the page (Character alterations and omissions, Regarding the Crouch family, Alterations and omissions of plot and setting) already, would you like to try your hand at the last (Changes involving future events of the novels and movies)? Thanks a lot. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 22:33, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for not getting back sooner. You can go to the URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Luvtheheaven/Title (replace title with whatever you want to call the new page) and you will get the message stating that the page does not exist, would you like to create it? Then start making it there. I would recommend putting it straight into the page and not a Word document or anything; right now I have to transfer all three chapters that I made and it's painstaking! :-) --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 02:30, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see you've edited the chart on my page. That's fine too. Whatever works best for you. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 02:32, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fine with me. Would you like to help "Alterations and Omissions of Plot and Setting"? I've just started. I'll take the first half, and you can take the second half, if you like, starting with "In the book, Cedric gives Harry the clue to listen to egg underwater in the prefect's bathroom right after the Yule Ball. In the film, he gives the clue two days before the Second Task." If it's something minor, forget it. (e.g. I'm leaving out the change in the color of Hermione's gown.) --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 19:57, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just beware, because I'm editing the page at the same time. Might be best if you type up exactly what you want somewhere else and then copy it in. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 20:32, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! We've each added a section on Barty Crouch Sr. Mine is called "Fate of Barty Crouch Sr." and yours is the "Madness of Mr. Crouch." One's gotta go, and we should probably move them so that it's filed under "Barty" (same with Neville's parents). --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 21:04, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'll combine them and you can move Neville's parents. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 21:09, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I decided to delete the Cedric giving Harry section that you made, as well as the Gillyweed section that I made, and put into one central section about Harry's Preparation for the tasks. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 21:47, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good. I'll take a look at your Third Task; just finishing the First myself now. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 22:04, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, will do. I just shortened your Third Task a little, take a look at it. It's difficult to do! I had to take out the details of who encountered what; I think that's okay for this purpose. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 22:20, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, sorry! I would open up in a new window the page and see what I've written, and see if you think what you've written should be included. Right now I'm going through the Lexicon to see which characters are not in the film for a more complete list. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 22:41, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. How about you cover SPEW? --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 22:44, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whew! Finally finished all the cut characters, if you'd like to see! That's it for now for me. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 00:17, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. I'll try to do most of those tonight. As far as I remember the Invisibility Cloak is not in the film. I'll add that before the chart in items left out. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 01:47, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How about you do the "Amos Diggory's character" section? I'll do all the other little stuff. You seem to have found some good quotes from the book, which I don't have with me right now. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 02:01, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, It'll be worth something some day, for sure. :-D --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 02:05, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did everything but Amos Diggory (yours) and Hermione being beautiful. Don't think that's that necessary, but if you really feel passionately about it, go ahead. Not sure how I would state it thought. Now I'm going to go through the current Differences page and check to see we basically covered everything. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 02:59, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I'll add in a small category called "Hermione at the Yule Ball". Looking forward to seeing Amos! --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 03:13, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm tired too. Yeah, it looks pretty long – maybe I'll cut down some of the quotes to just paraphrases. Looks good though, thanks! I'll make the links, I like doing that. :D More work tomorrow… --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 03:46, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Woohoo! I finished our page and put it up on Differences between book and film versions of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! Go look! **falls asleep** --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 04:15, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh darn it, that's right… Dobby and some other House-Elf appear for a fleeting second in the campsite scene. I'll go make the necessary changes. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 20:00, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Signatures[edit]

Go to "my preferences," go down to "nickname," check the "Raw signature" checkbox below it, then in Nickname type what you want to appear when you sign the four tildes, instead of having [[User:Luvtheheaven|Emily]] appear.

Exesue Me.[edit]

Dear. Luvtheheaven, I went to page Arthur Weasley(Harry Potter) right now. But there is a problem you changed someting. Film Portrayer is marked none. So, Could you change the Arthur Weasley's role Mark Williams in Film Portrayer? BEcause It has not been in Film Portrayer Line. Sorry for bothering you about editing on Arthur Weasley. April 4, 2006, 19:03, written by 71.138. 165. 221

Sorry- I deleted unnecessary stuff in the loyalty/allegiance field and accidentally took out the vertical line thingy (|). That made the film protrayer not appear. Sorry! Emily (Funtrivia Freak) 02:57, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Book Seven.[edit]

Dear. Emily, Thanks you for answer my question. Ahh, May I ask you about Book Seven? Do you think Luna Lovegood, Tonks will appear in book Seven? I personally think Luna will do major thing in Book seven, She is very intelligent. Luna always joins with Gryffindor students not Ravenclaw Students. Even Luna Lovegood is Ravenclaw Student. Also, I personally think that Tonks will help Harry Potter to find the Horcrux, and Tonks will become Transfiguration teacher of Hogwart(That's just My Own Opinion). But I really don't know about Book seven yet, Even It's really easy to prediect What's going to be happened. What is your own opinion about Book Seven. I hope that I could put Book Seven's title, and story of Book seven(New Character, New things)etc. Won't this be vandalism? I mean is it vandalism if I put new information on Wikipedia.. April 4, 20:09, This has been written by 71.138.165.221

I don't know what will happen in book 7, but I have a feeling that Luna has yet to play a major role, and quite possibly, because she is a Ravenclaw, not in a "brave" way. Most likely she will point out the "obvious" (or what it obvious to her) and help with something pertaining to the Horcrux. I don't know about Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and I don't know about Tonks, but she'll probably be in it a little more than just with Lupin- although maybe not. Adding stuff that is not fact to Wikipedia (like a title someone guesses might be the title for Book 7) is always vandalism. However, adding information that is true, and simply helping to make the encyclopedia better, is completely welcome! Emily (Funtrivia Freak) 19:25, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

my edit to R.A.B.[edit]

there's still mention of the different words being using in translations. check the last paragraph of the Regulus Black section. it could stand a bit of redacting, but it's there. i removed it from where it was since that section was really just about additional clues that could be used to determine who the initials referred to. theories didn't come until later. thanks for the note. -- stubblyhead | T/c 03:45, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.(Emily)[edit]

I'm new member of Harry Potter Wikipedian. I checked the article Padma Patil in the Minor Ravenclaw. So, I watched that Padma Patil is in Gryffindor in Gov of Fire movie, not in Ravenclaw Uniform. Padma wears Gryffindor Uniform only in Goblet of Fire Movie. I means it was deleted on March 24, 2006. So, Could you put that Padma Patil's House(Gryffindor in Goblet of Fire movie) even She is Ravenclaw Student? That was strange point that Padma was in Gryffindor Common Room with Parvati Patil in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Movie because Padma Patil is Ravenclaw Student. April, 11, 2006, 18:15, Daniel5127

Thanks.[edit]

Thanks you for show me mistakes in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Movie. I also think that they might have made some mistake in filming Order of the Phoenix movie like Marietta Edgecombe will not be returned, or didn't cast for Marietta Edgecombe(Cho Chang's Ravenclaw Fellow Friend). Anyways, Have a great Day with Wikipedia. 03: 05, 19 April, 2006(UTC). Daniel.

Wikimania![edit]

Dear Luvtheheaven, think you can come to Wikimania this year? I see you live in the area and wanted to spread the word.  :) +sj + 05:58, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, ok. Boston's not *that* far rom Maryland, though, you don't have to remove yourself from the category. I'm going to be in DC in 2 weeks, talking about Wikipedia with Mark and Kat @ CFP '06... Perhaps we can set up a local meetup then. +sj + 13:52, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Emily:)[edit]

Dear Emily, I Just wanted to give you a friendly warning because of your age. I don't want to scare you away from "Wikipedia"... it is a safe tool, in itself...but if you consider meeting people it could be dangerous! At your age.... I had a serious girlfiend and we were joined to the hip... I was no saint and we were adults... in-some-ways... but the world is a lot scarier now than then. There are predators, Aids and bad stuff. I don't go out much because I have agoraphobia (fear to go out)... luckily my wife does too. we go out every day but only together. Consider not meet strange people without a parent or someone like that. --

  • Did you know that The Harry Potter books: "Order of the Phoenix" and "Half Blood Prince" are available from most Public libraries as Audio Books.
  • Hey Maybe on Wikipedia we should start ITS OWN REAL Order of the Phoenix; To Protect the Inoccent, Have a Respect for History, For Majic, To suggest other Books of that Genre. It might be fun. I could design the web page I think? A club of Harry Potter fans... If you want to be the president I will show you how It can be done. I will merely advise... as Dumbledore said.

Hola![edit]

I read your profile page and noticed you read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I'm a huge HP nut, so if you are, then I'm glad we're in the same boat! Welcome to Wikipedia, by the way! --Fanficgurl 3:05, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Harry Potter[edit]

Good to see you agree with me on Wikipedia prudent conduct rules. Now, (my opinion) is don't waste your time on the movies except to use them so you can visualize the Charicters better. Most libraries are parts of big chains. Mine town is part of a 40 town library chain called the minuteman network. Just ask your librarien to order the book on CD that you want. You can look your library up on the internet and search for whatever you want. Just for example here is my link: www.mln.lib.ma.us

As for the Order. Listen to them all in Order or not at all. If you don't Charicters will die and then you won't figure out why they are still alive or Harry will be in 7'th and then back in 5'th (American). Look to the Harry Potter Wikipedia page to find the correct orders. Bye. --merlinus 03:37, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Ask your Dad or Mom[edit]

I'm sure he would agree that it is preferable to read books first before seeing a movie or listing on CD tape. As for order, read them in the order they were published. Watch... the movies in the same order.

  • If you have other Harry Potter questions I would think it preferable if you could get several names of many Wikipedia Users closer to your own age to chat with like this. I'm not able to get out of my house much and spend all too much time at my computer, but even on Wikipedia, I have considerations about the morality of individual chat exchanges like this. I think it is a forum that could be misused and I would not even want give the appearence of impropriety if you understand? I would recomend that you share with your Mom and Dad things that go on on Wikipedia... or any chatroom you may find. Talk about Harry Potter seems to me harmless enough, I understand, but as an adult, I must make more responsible decisions. I sent a form letter like you recieved to all Massachusetts Wikipedia members, just to see what people were up to. With your parents help, you could do a search of any specific member status. Ask your Dad or Mom, to help you in this endevour. This is my best advise. Just keep above the board and use your computer resposibly. :@) --merlinus 01:26, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Im bored right know, but I invited my wifes brother over today at 2:00 for dinner (I like him) he's funny... I myself am cooking two chickens, asparagus and white rice.

Chicken Civil Rights:[edit]

The fight for sweeping civil rights changes goes on! So far we've been winging it, but well pick up momentum. Imagine "A Day Without Chickens!" Unless the government stops this Fowl abuse PETA will stage a walk out of the nations hen houses. No eggs will be laid. No innocent lives will be sacrificed in the name of those cold blooded butchers at Colonel Sanders or Perdue. Did you know that your government condones this unabated wholesale Genocide. Your government would condone evil atrocities worst imaginable... they would eat our unborn infants and our corpses as they die rotting. American Chickens (born in the USA) are rounded up daily) and denied legal representation, trial by their peers, kept cooped up in cages and executed without being accused of a crime. Detractors of equal rights say chickens sit around getting "fried" and "baked" all the time, but obviosly its not the chickens fault. Why you may ask is it so. Just because of racial discrimination. For just 50 cents a day, you can keep a young chicken alive. They can have basic sanitation, water, electricity and a clean place to live. Your money and the money of others like you can make a difference. Join together and DEMANND EQUAL RIGHTS under the law and end this FOWL oppression. (joke: meant to offend no one in particular in politically correct times)

Hey Emily[edit]

Hey Emily, haven't spoken to you in a while. Anyway, I'm thinking of expanding to create differences between the rest of the HP books and movies. Right now I've got a draft page started on User:Fbv65edel/PS_Differences. There is a section called "Alterations from the book" on the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film) page, so if you'd like to get started on doing some of those differences, that would be great. If you're not interested, completely understand. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 18:37, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead, and do whatever you like. Like you, I'm studying for exams and stuff, so I haven't really started to do any plot differences – I just did the characters and stuff though. And no hurry. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 18:48, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I realized that my edit count for user pages was fairly high, and that was due to the significant number of edits to the subpage of my userpage. So, I've redirected User:Fbv65edel/PS Differences to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film)/Book and film differences, a subpage of the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film) article. I think that way, more main namespace edits will appear. And again, no hurry on this project. It's gradual, and nobody's going to steal it. :-) I'm in exams too. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 12:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, the new page Differences between book and film versions of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is now up. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 03:38, 21 May 2006 (UTC) Not a problem. Just letting you know. Pretty soon we'll get to work on CoS. :-) --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 15:33, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: \'\'\'backslashing\'\'\'[edit]

For more information, see [1]. If you see anybody making edits that introduce backslashes "\" in an apparentely uncontrollable manner, usually before single quotes, double quotes, or other backslashes, you should revert the edit, then the IP address to WP:AIV to be blocked indefinitely. If a logged-in user behaves this way, you sould report it at requests for checkuser so somebody can determine the IP address and block it indefinitely. In many cases, it turns out to be a banned user still trying to edit. — May. 13, '06 [19:44] <freakofnurxture|talk>

Also, I saw that you were trying to remove the slashes rather than reverting them. Edits to pages can easily be reverted back to a previous version of the page, much faster than having to remove all of the offending content. For an explanation of how to do this, see Help:Reverting. Let me know if you have any more questions! EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 19:55, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, no problem. :o) If you ever have any more questions, feel free to send me a message. Or, for a more immediate response, you can put the {{helpme}} template on your talk page with a question, and someone will come a long to answer your question. :o) EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 01:28, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some thoughts.[edit]

I've read your comments to Merlinus..I'd like to add: That exactly is why I'm paranoid about some things. Been there, done that (in most cases). I'm also envious, I wasn't as smart as you at 16 (and got into a lot of trouble). — Nathan (talk) 17:37, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An idea...[edit]

So more people look at your userboxes do you think you might want to have them down the right or left side of your user page? ForestH2

Partial revert[edit]

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that, but to edit an old revision of a page, go to the history and click the revision you want to edit. Then click the edit tab as you would with a current revision. From there you can save, or make changes. Is that what you were wondering? --Keitei (talk) 20:02, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HP book/film differences[edit]

Hi Emily! Long time no Wikipedia see. :-) I wanted to inform you that I have completed all Differences articles for book and film differences in the HP series, so go check out Differences between book and film versions of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which I just finished a few minutes ago, and also Differences between book and film versions of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, which I finished a while ago. How's everything? --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 04:41, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good to hear! Article looks nice, keep up the good work. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 18:50, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

7th Heaven[edit]

Spoilers released, and an article from TV Guide, state that David Gallagher and Mackenzie Rosman are not returning for the 11th season. Also, Brenda Hampton is writing in a miscarriage for Lucy's twins in order to get out of the triple-twin story. Check any up-to-date 7th Heaven website for further info on this...it sounds like a good season. Also, Martin and Sandy are returning.

It's getting irritating to see people changing my up-to-date facts back to the old info. lol

I need help finding/putting up an image[edit]

Can someone please explain to me how to find an image, figure out if it's copyrighted, and if not put it up on the Matt Camden page? I need a picture of Barry Watson.... Emily (Funtrivia Freak) 16:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is a big/complicated question, I will post it to the Help desk so a thorough answer can be formulated. You can view the responses that will be made at the Help desk.
On another point, you might want to check out Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction).--Commander Keane 16:21, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aliens in America[edit]

They are probably deleting that for a reason. Can you offer a source that says the show is definitely going to air, rather than merely a pilot is being considered? Lambertman 16:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Season Pages or List of Episode (individual Ep pages)[edit]

All editors, please see discussion here Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Smallville episodes Bignole 18:54, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can see keeping it if it was just the title/number/air date and a link to the Season pages. But policy even says that not every episode deserves a page, especially when the majority of the information is already stated in the Season Page and the Main article page. The season pages have seniority over the others, and Peregine wants to delete the Season pages and redirect the titles to the List of Smallville episodes page. Bignole
I wish you would see that Talk page for "list of episodes". Pere requested a vote to determine if the indy ep pages should be created (which I thought was clear on the other page where everyone said "don't do it"), in the mean time he has gone ahead and created Season 2 pages and plans to go ahead with others, completely ignoring everyone. Bignole
No, I don't blame you. I mean college just started back up here today, and I don't know what Peregrine does all day, but I work and go to school so it's hard to make sure he is listening (which he isn't). Basically he has disregarded policy and votes on the other page and keeps making the indy ep pages. I don't need you to go into detail regarding anything, but if you get the chance, if you go go over to Talk:List of Smallville episodes and simply say if he should or should not be creating indy episodes. I thought it was clear on the other page, but apparently to him it wasn't. If you want him to keep the individual episode pages then just say so, if not then so 'no'. His opinion is that they all deserve their own page (even though policy states otherwise) and that he plans to redirect all the season pages to the List page once he has created all the episode pages. I have already started fixing the season page (if you get a chance see Smallville (season 1), you can see that all his info fits nicely in a small section), but he won't listen. He said he wants a vote, so quick and easy would be to just say "yah" or "nah" to him. If you are busy (which I am, so I'm sure you are as well) that's quite alright. Bignole
Thanks Em, not atleast he is positive about your position. If he/she has any other questions about what you think I will refer him to that last comment so that you don't have to worry about it. Bignole 00:44, 29 August 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.

An exciting month of wiki events![edit]

Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,
James Hare

Adrianne Wadewitz Memorial edit-a-thons[edit]

Adrianne Wadewitz edit-a-thons in Southern New England

Wikipedia and YOUR History: Taking Control of the Internet[edit]

See you at the Laurel Pool Room, 9th and Main Street, Laurel, MD on Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 7:00 PM EST. See http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205494212/ for more information. Geraldshields11 (talk) 02:13, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon[edit]

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.

When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC
