US Banknote Contest | ![]() |
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

Hi, do you remember creating Category:Universities in Stockholm in 2016? It looks like a near duplicate of Category:Higher education in Stockholm, but only contains three former women's colleges, so I think it could be merged with Category:Defunct universities and colleges in Sweden.

@Paul 012: Thanks for your bug report. After the Christmas break, I've tidied up my old and rather sprawling bot codebase, which includes almost a decade of spaghetti code, and isolated the lines of code which cause the unwanted behavior into a single subroutine. I'll do a fix tomorrow, then go back to running the bot. Thanks for giving me the incentive to clean things up. -- The Anome (talk) 00:02, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

They are partial-blocked with no namespaces or pages listed to be blocked.

After walking through a Marina a looking at the boats I have had an idea, they most have transponders on them that transmit they location and basic unique identifiers. I thought if there was a bot that dripped that data into wikidata, we could fill in missing identifiers and allow someone use the "around me" function to find out more about the boats going by.
The idea is just in the research phase but wanted to run it past you as the owner of a bot that does Geo stuff.
I have found a couple of DB's that act as repository of this data
seems to be a source of data for this but requires purchase and running of a transceiver so as to contribute to the database (not just use the data)
It maybe easier to do an air one first
getting the data from https://opensky-network.org/apidoc/python.html#retrieving-data and using http://www.airframes.org/ to convert the ICAO 24 id to something wikidata supports
What do yo think of this as an idea? Back ache (talk) 08:08, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi,
Lately I created an article Draft:My body my choice (Feminism) regarding the aprox. 50 years old slogan. I myself want the article to be inclusive and balanced with global perspective. Since I am from south Asian studies I do have my own limitations, and article has rightly came under criticism being not global enough and not critical enough.
Since you have earlier worked on articles like Mouvement de libération des femmes I wish to request you to see if you can support the upcoming article Draft:My body my choice (Feminism). Like french wikipedians have suggested me with example links like
May be above or different sources you would like to support the article in some way.
Some people are getting confused with south Asian article already in main space named Mera Jism Meri Marzi but it has geographically limited context of South Asia i.e. India & Pakistan. Where as Draft:My body my choice (Feminism) is expected to be a global inclusive.
Requesting whatever possible direct editing / copy editing support.
Thanks and warm regards

Hi there, I am the new Community Manager over at wikiHow. I'm pretty new to wikis, so to help build up my knowledge I've been spending some time on Wikipedia - seeing how things work and what another successful wiki culture is like. This week I happened to take a look at the wikiHow page and saw that you placed an ((advert)) tag on it, indicating that it contains content that is written like an advertisement. We would only ever want our page to be informational, not promotional, so I was wondering if you might be able to share some of the specific issues or concerns that could be addressed to improve the article?
Of course, because I'm affiliated with the wikiHow project, I might not be the appropriate person to edit the page, but I’d appreciate the chance to find a collaborative path forward to fixing these issues. Since you’re the person who placed the tag, and a highly experienced Wikipedian to boot, I thought you’d be a good person to reach out to. JayneG2 (talk) 17:48, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello The Anome,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Silvercorp USA for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hi, are you opposed to unprotecting Sado-masochism? I don't see any history of vandalism. Anarchyte (talk • work) 10:22, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I've got some more redirects that I'd like you to vet before I take any action. On this page, if you sort by protector, there are some more that relate to other areas of BDSM. I've opened some histories at random and none had any vandalism since you protected them. As it stands, this series of redirects is comprehensively protected, so if you decide to unprotect these I'll follow up with any related ones and try to make sure they're similarly unprotected (if I find any).

Thanks. Might also want to revdel their usertalk contribs. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 18:15, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Anome, I saw you just blocked Cervix service. This is a person who joined Wikipedia to improve articles related to women's health, anatomy, reproductive health, family planning, etc. They are not selling a service or trolling. Could you elaborate on the block a bit more? Is it that any anatomy is inappropriate in a username? Thanks. --Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:12, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
I am denied to edit from my office computer because of an IP block. Please give me a way to edit from my office computer. I am not sure whether IP block exemption works in this case. ~SS49~ {talk} 12:51, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
