Hello. I was on Wikipedia:Translators available and notice that you were on the list for Spanish to English translators and wondered if you could be interested in translating es:Felipe de Castilla to Philip of Castile (archbishop)? There is a lot of interesting information still left untranslated. Thanks.--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 21:26, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey all. Some quick but important updates on what we've been up to and what's coming up next :).
The curation toolbar, our Wikimedia-supported twinkle replacement. We're going to be deploying it, along with a pile of bugfixes, to wikipedia on 9 August. After a few days to check it doesn't make anything explode or die, we'll be sticking up a big notice and sending out an additional newsletter inviting people to test it out and give us feedback :). This will be followed by two office hours sessions - one on Tuesday the 14th of August at 19:00 UTC for all us Europeans, and one on Wednesday the 15th at 23:00 UTC for the East Coasters out there :). As always, these will be held in #wikimedia-office; drop me a note if you want to know how to easily get on IRC, or if you aren't able to attend but would like the logs.
I hope to see a lot of you there; it's going to be a big day for everyone involved, I think :). I'll have more notes after the deployment! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 19:54, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Shiva Mahbobi. Regarding your request to have your username changed, I wanted to point out that the bit "User:" is automatically added to every userpage, and it can't be removed. I'm guessing that you mean to write an article instead, which you can do so by going to Shiva Mahbobi, but before you do so please read and make sure you understand the notability guideline to determine if an article on the subject is appropriate for the encyclopedia. Also, if you are actually Shiva Mahbobi then please review the conflict of interest guideline to know how to best contribute to the project. If you're not, then I recommend you request to change your username to one that identifies personally as an editor. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any doubts. Best regards — Frankie (talk) 18:30, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Dear Frankie, sorry for my very late reply, I was travelling for sometimes and swamped with work for the rest of it. In regards to our last correspondence, I have gathered more material which I think show variability and Notability of Shiva's work which has been covered by reliable sources such as BBC and Aljazeera. Would you please check the links below and let me know if these are according to the guidelines you mentioned above and if it is possible to move my page to the main space. I would really appreciate your valuable assistance in this regards and I hope, after checking the links, you will have a good news for me. Many thanks. Here are the links:

Hey all :)
A couple of new things.
First, you'll note that all the project titles have now changed to the Page Curation prefix, rather than having the New Pages Feed prefix. This is because the overarching project name has changed to Page Curation; the feed is still known as New Pages Feed, and the Curation Toolbar is still the Curation Toolbar. Hopefully this will be the last namechange ;p.
On the subject of the Curation Toolbar (nice segue, Oliver!) - it's now deployed on Wikipedia. Just open up any article in the New Pages Feed and it should appear on the right. It's still a beta version - bugs are expected - and we've got a lot more work to do. But if you see something going wrong, or a feature missing, drop me a note or post on the project talkpage and I'll be happy to help :). We'll be holding two office hours sessions to discuss the tool and improvements to it; the first is at 19:00 UTC on 14 August, and the second at 23:00 on the 15th. Both will be in #wikimedia-office as always. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 16:01, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Sorry to come here regarding this particular article, but I am starting to get most upset in the manner of context and way the other involved user is twisting my words out of context as if to ignite an argument - and he has already admitted to purposely forcing me into an argument as shown in the last two lines of this diff. To me it feels as though that any comments that I make on that discussion are only being taken serious and constructively by yourself alone, and twisted out of context by the other. As much as I am trying to remain calm and respond civilly, I find it most disturbing that another user is being permitted to be so aggressive and vicious towards myself. Is it right that he should always try to make me feel guilty for having real life professional duties, and inadvertently word remarks to sound like I should neglect real life and wait until the debate is over? Unless something is said to the user and he is reminded to stay civil and cooperative at all times, then I cannot see myself being as cooperative towards the user in return. Again sorry for bringing this up here, I hope you understand why I have though. Regards, Wesley Mouse 18:28, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey all :). We've just deployed another set of features for Page Curation. They include flyouts from the icons in Special:NewPagesFeed, showing who reviewed an article and when, a listing of this in the "info" flyout, and a general re-jigging of the info flyout - we've also fixed the weird bug with page_titles_having_underscores_instead_of_spaces in messages sent to talkpages, and introduced CSD logging! As always, these features will need some work - but any feedback would be most welcome.
Thanks, Frankie, I am still clumsy in tagging. All the best. --E4024 (talk) 19:56, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Hey Frankie. This will be, if not our final newsletter, one of the final ones :). After months of churning away at this project, our final version (apart from a few tweaks and bugfixes) is now live. Changes between this and the last release include deletion tag logging, a centralised log, and fixes to things like edit summaries.
Hopefully you like what we've done with the place; suggestions for future work on it, complaints and bugs to the usual address :). We'll be holding a couple of office hours sessions, which I hope you'll all attend. Many thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 10:55, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

We're (very shortly) closing down this development cycle for Page Curation. It's genuinely been a pleasure to talk with you all and build software that is so close to my own heart, and also so effective. The current backlog is 9 days, and I've never seen it that low before.
However! Closing up shop does not mean not making any improvements. First-off, this is your last chance to give us a poke about unresolved bugs or report new ones on the talkpage. If something's going wrong, we want to know about it :). Second, we'll hopefully be taking another pass over the software next year. If you've got ideas for features Page Curation doesn't currently have, stick them here.
Again, it's been an honour. Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 12:01, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Deletion Sorting for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. –Mabeenot (talk) 06:10, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

(four tildes) at the end of your post, and after you save the system will substitute it with your signature and a timestamp. You can modify your signature by going to Special:Preferences.Anyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the Article Feedback Tool or Page Curation. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up here.
In addition, we'll be holding an office hours session at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular timezone or a skype call if there isn't.

Hi there! I'm having difficulty finding out how I can specify on what projects I want to be renamed. Basically I want to be renamed on the Kyrgyz and uzbek wikis. How do I indicate that? Thanks! Nconnelly (talk) 18:01, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

instead of the apostrophe character, so after you make the request replace that code with an apostrophe, that way the bot will be able to parse it. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any doubts — Frankie (talk) 23:39, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
