Wikipedia Day is always a big day for Wikimedia NYC. While we cannot meet in person, we still have something special planned. We will begin the event with the debut of a new video celebrating our community. This will be followed by a panel discussion with some of the people you'll see in the video talking about Wikipedia's 20th anniversary, Wikimedia New York City, and the amazing work they do on Wikimedia projects.

Adding a deleted border-radius template to 2470 talk pages[edit]
My bot will be busy today fixing 2470 talk pages (e.g., this edit) where the deleted Template:Border-radius was added. In the future, could you use "show preview" to see if there are any red-linked templates before asking for mass delivery? Thanks! Plastikspork―Œ(talk) 14:51, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting your help in creating a spore event page for the Aurat March 2021, which I will update indue course when Wikispore server will not give me error message.
@Pharos: Tested again today; the same error message came again when editing with Visual editor. Actually I find Visual editor easy and that other editing bit complicated but this time at spores the complicated one source editing worked yesterday and today, but visual editor did not work yesterday nor today, same error message I reported above came today also while editing with visual editor @ spores. Many Thanks for your support and warm regards Bookku (talk) 10:54, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like you've mailed out a lot of the QW2021 notices. I'm looking for the template that is responsible for this. Normally, templates that are substed onto a page contain their own name inside a hidden Html comment for transparency, but this one doesn't. Can you point me to it, please?

Hello! I saw you made a stub for the The People's Flag Show. I came across it when I was cleaning up and expanding a new article I found, Jean Toche. As they are related, I thought you might be interested.--- Possibly (talk) 02:41, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
On 31 May 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Museum of French Art, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Museum of French Art once exhibited Napoleon's penis? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Museum of French Art. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Museum of French Art), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.
Hi, Pharos. Long time no see. Hope you're doing well. I noticed you made some additions to Sixth borough, some of which was indeed supported by the cited New York Times article (like the "Lower Lower Manhattan" bit), but the mention of T. Kennard Thomson was not, so I reverted it. I tried searching through that NYT article, and couldn't find mention of him, nor was he mentioned anywhere else in the Wikipedia article.

Hi I will like to find out how we will be able to stream our unconference presentation Leveraging on Local Holidays as a Topical Campaign to Bridge Content Gaps on Wikipedia and Using Kiwix as a Tool to Enhance Equitable Access to Educational Resources During the Pandemic by OFWA tomorrow, we are uncertain about it, quick feedback would be awesome.

@Jwale2: It's not something that we've done for other unconference sessions, but it may be possible to do it on the Wikipedia Weekly stream. Email me and we can try to work it out.--Pharos (talk) 16:37, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I'm Wtmitchell. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to The 1619 Project have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. I've reverted thisWP:BOLD edit. Discuss on the article talk page if you disagree.Wtmitchell(talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 19:41, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You undid my reversion and opened a discussion on the article talk page. I've followed up there. Sorry for having reverted you via a click on the Vandalism link rather than the Undo link; that was a mistake. Wtmitchell(talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 21:44, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm writing you, because if someone else is actually using WikiConference:User:DavidMCEddy, I would consider it identity theft. It's probably just something silly in the User ID management in WikiConference North America. However, I felt a need to ask about it.

Per your request, "This is the last day to vote", I reviewed and ranked the 72 candidates I found with statement. In trying to enter my ranks, I could not find some of the candidates on the list. After ranking roughly half of them, I tried to submit my votes. It said I had to log in to vote. I tried to log in using my usual login. It did not accept that. Then it said, "You do not need to be logged in to vote."
If the number of votes seem reasonable and there are few complaints like this, please ignore. Otherwise, I will testify that (a) the voting system was very hard to use, and (b) it seemed not to accept my vote. DavidMCEddy (talk) 01:33, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! Voting in the 2021 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 6 December 2021. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2021 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:05, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group.

This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi Pharos! I've nominated you (along with all other active admins) to receive a solstice season gift from the WMF. Talk page stalkers are invited to comment at the nomination. Enjoy! Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}}talk ~~~~~
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Hello Pharos! I'd like to invite you to a Covid-19 focused Edit-a-thon / Translate-a-thon, open to the public, via Zoom on Saturday - January 29th, 2022, 1pm-3pm E.S.T. We will be focusing our edits on the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. Click the event page to read more. This event is hosted by Sure We Can, a recycling and community center in Brooklyn. This is the 4th Covid-focused Edit-a-thon that Sure We Can has hosted. Click here to see the last three COVID-19 focused edit-a-thons: Sept 6th, 2020 & Nov 21, 2020 & Feb 6th, 2021. In past events, we translated the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City article into Spanish, Yoruba, Malagasy, Hebrew, Swahili, Tagalog, Korean, Russian, Japanese, Portuguese, Polish, Greek, Haitian Creole, and wrote the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in the United States article. We would love for you to join us. All experience levels welcome.
You have been successfully nominated to receive a free t-shirt from the Wikimedia Foundation through our Merchandise Giveaway program. Congratulations and thank you for your hard work! Please email us at merchandisewikimedia.org and we will send you full details on how to accept your free shirt. Thanks!
I think you created this article that I wanted to propose for deletion. Of course, I'm open minded to alternative opinions and will remove the proposed deletion if there is not consensus. What do you think?
You might also notice I deleted some weak newer citations that were added since you created the article some years ago.
Hi Pharos. Nice to meet you. I noticed you are an active editor and a member of WP:NYC, as well as an active affiliate member of Wikimedia NYC. I was hoping you would be able to help me with an edit request I posted at Talk:Sculptor Capital Management to update the details of the article. Your consideration is greatly appreciated and I look forward to your assistance. Michael at Sculptor Capital (talk) 15:09, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you.Vizjim (talk) 09:26, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

question re NYC wikimedia chapter membership[edit]
Hi there. it was great to see you on the zoom call. I was wondering, can you please assist me with checking my membership status with Wikimedia NYC? I tried to join a while back.

Invitation, Wikimedia Public Policy monthly call, July 1 @ 16h EST[edit]

There is no set agenda for the second half of the call - feel free to add your item to the list of topics in the etherpad [2]. Come and talk to us! Ask us anything, or tell us anything, related to public policy and advocacy initiatives for free knowledge online. For example:
You want to learn more about our team and our current initiatives
You would like to share a policy development or advocacy campaign idea and would like to get feedback or support
You have questions about a specific WMF policy priority or development

@Pharos: Thanks for your many valuable contributions to Wikimedia Foundation projects.
I want to organize Wikidata edit-a-thons in the Kansas City (KC) metro area to make it easy to create and maintain local directories of different things. I'm involved with two different groups that want to do things, for which I think this is part of a in ideal solution: For directories of (a) local news sources and (b) organizations in the greater KC metro area concerned with peace, justice, environment, and human rights.
Posted a request for local collaborators to the talk page (link above) associated with a Wikipedia article on Wikipedia:Meetup/Kansas City. It links to a list of 352 users, only 5 of which have been added since 2012
Ziski Putz suggested I ask you, because you've done similar things in NYC and helped organize the recent WikiConference North America (Thanks!). (You may remember me: I'm
Spencer Graves. I've met you at previous WMF conferences.)
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, DavidMCEddy (talk) 14:42, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ohara Shoson (Koson), Egrets in Snow, Ohara Koson, 1927
Have a wonderful holiday season filled with peace, joy, prosperity and wonder.
Hi Pharos, Thank you for all your contributions during the year. I will always be grateful to you for teaching me how to do proper citations at the first edit-a-thon I attended. May your 2023 be filled with creativity and good health. Image: Egrets in Snow, Ohara Koson, 1927
The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendritestalk \\ 18:36, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
