Hi. You're being contacted as you've previously used global message delivery (or its English Wikipedia counterpart). It doesn't feel so great to be spammed, does it? ;-)
For the past few months, Legoktm has built a replacement to the current message delivery system called MassMessage. MassMessage uses a proper user interface form (no more editing a /Spam subpage), works faster (it can complete a large delivery in minutes), and no longer requires being on an access list (any local administrator can use it). In addition, many tiny annoyances with the old system have been addressed. It's a real improvement! :-)
You can test out MassMessage here: testwiki:Special:MassMessage. The biggest difference you'll likely notice is that any input list must use a new ((#target:))
parser function. For example, ((#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales))
or ((#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales|test2.wikipedia.org))
. For detailed instructions, check out mw:Help:Extension:MassMessage.
If you find any bugs, have suggestions for additional features, or have any other feedback, drop a note at m:Talk:MassMessage. Thanks for spamming! --MZMcBride (talk) 05:23, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

I understand you can use the EdwardsBot to deliver messages. Can you please set up the bot to deliver the message here. I believe it can't be sent to the people in the Category so that's fine. Let me know if any modification is required. Thanks! Samar Talk 12:35, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi. You're being contacted as you're listed as an EdwardsBot user.
MassMessage has been deployed to all Wikimedia wikis. For help using the new tool, please check out its help page or drop a note on Meta-Wiki.
With over 400,000 edits to Wikimedia wikis, EdwardsBot has served us well; however EdwardsBot will no longer perform local or global message delivery after December 31, 2013.
A huge thanks to Legoktm, Reedy, Aaron Schulz and everyone else who helped to get MassMessage deployed. --MZMcBride (talk) 02:37, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

WP:Anatomy quarterly update (#1)
Hello WP:ANATOMY user! This is the first of what I hope will be ongoing quarterlies, documenting the current state of WP:ANATOMY, current projects and items of interest, and any relevant news. I'd greatly value feedback on this, and if you think I've missed something, or don't wish to receive this again, please leave a note on my talkpage
I would like to take some time on this first quarterly to evaluate the state of the project. We have the benefit of having a relatively-small group of articles that are, for the most part, relatively non-controversial. Additionally, for the majority of our articles, it may indeed be possible to create an article that reflects a significant proportion of the published literature. This is quite distinct from other projects.
However, it appears we only have 5 GAs (Anatomy, Brain, Clitoris, Human tooth, and Leonardo da Vinci) and 4 FAs (Immune system, Hippocampus, Cerebellum, and Resurrectionists in the United Kingdom), none of which relate to purely anatomical items, which constitute most of our mass. By 'anatomical items' I mean muscles, nerves, bones, blood vessels, veins, foramina, and so on, that constitute the vast majority of our articles. In fact, we only have one 'system' (Immune system) at FA class, and none at GA class. We indeed only have 70 articles out over 4,000 at B-class. This scarcity is, I believe, for the following reasons: (1) lack of model articles (2) lack of appropriate guidelines, and (3) general sparsity of sourcing on many articles. How may these be addressed?
I hope that we are able to revitalise this project. Wikipedia has the capacity to become an excellent resource for anatomical information. I again welcome feedback on this quarterly or any aspects therein on the talk page for the quarterly, on my talkpage, or on the WP Anatomy talk page here. Kind regards, LT910001 (talk)

Hi Tyrol5 - forgive my unfamiliarity with Wiki. I'm a journalist trying to track down this meme character known as "Zeke Durden." Apparently, there was once a wiki entry for him, but it was deleted, I'm not sure by who. Is it possible to see what the old Zeke Durden wiki page looked like? And I'm curious as to why it was deleted. Thanks! Steve F. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.230.80.179 (talk) 20:56, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, Tyrol5, for this edit; I've made a note to remember to do this in future. :) Thank you also for supporting my RfB (#108!) and for all the kind words you said. I really appreciate that you've seen me and my work and think that I've been doing a good job. For what it's worth, I've seen you help out in several places and I hope that in a few months time or so you'll consider an RfB for yourself, given your own username work and your detailed rationales whenever you participate in an RfA/B.

Hi Tyrol5, pardon my ignorance, as I'm relatively new to the Wiki community...! I noticed that you had deleted a page that had been started for Stephanie Ruhle (18:15, 9 January 2014 Tyrol5 (talk | contribs) deleted page Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Stephanie Ruhle (G13: Abandoned Article for creation – to retrieve it, see WP:REFUND/G13 (TW))). May I ask why it was deleted? I was looking to add to her page (assuming she already had one) as she expanded her role at Bloomberg, but noticed the page had in fact been deleted in January. Would love any information you can provide. Thanks! Krcd573 (talk) 02:42, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
I was unaware of the implications of using a real name. Thank you for this information and helping me through this process! I am sure I will need more help in the future. I would like to change "AccessAgility" to "Bmuell", I think I did it right, but I am not sure.

On any given week we have at least 4-10 editors making significant contributions to our articles, with probably more than double this making minor edits. As an editor, I am often wondering: with so many articles, where to start? There is so much to be done (as always, on Wikipedia!), and I aim here to provide a comprehensive list of venues within our project. If I've missed any, please let us know on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page.

I am so bad at this Wiki formatting so I did not see my note to you even though it said it was received so am sending it to you again just in case you didn't get it.
Hi Tyrol. I am thoroughly confused as to who deleted this article notes, though do know I left it abandoned for a long time. I think you did this though it could have been someone else, though would like to get those notes back and move on with actually creating the Wiki. After reviewing your interests and contributions I see we have many similar interests.
I do so few Wikipedia entries that I often have to go back and completely re-learn the wiki format, so bear with me. Some time ago I had started a page called DESERT AIDS PROJECT, which was deleted. I had no idea I was ever on a page that could be deleted, as the intention of the page was just to have an area to leave notes or ideas on future projects. Ten years ago this may have been a drain on the servers though with the advent of new technology, like cloud, there is almost an infinite amount of space available so am surprised this is an issue.
Moving along, this particular Wiki is simply long overdue for obvious reasons; D.A.P. has been around for over two decades and has been written up in countless newspaper and magazine reviews. Their known throughout the world with President Obama, and former presidents Clinton and Bush all having done walkthroughs of the establishment, not to mention countless famous actors/actresses and media personalities sponsoring fundraisers in support of them. I am not a client, nor have any affiliation other than I own a house down the street. I think if you go to their website and peruse their pages it is clearly established they warrant a listing in Wikipedia. Have a look: http://www.desertaidsproject.org/
I would like some help on creating the listing. I have also gone through some of your Wiki contributions and think since you are savvy with the medical community this would make a great match. I would like a week to start the Wiki and you can clean it up and list it from there. If that is not a plan than do let me know your thoughts on this. I realize you are on vacation so no rush. I just think this place should not go ignored even though it is not a pleasant subject it is a fact of life, so let's help them out.

This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice.
note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you *sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject MedicineSpotlight - Simplified article translation
Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.
Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.
What's happening?
I've (CFCF) taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.
For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as Dutch, Polish, and Swedish.
What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not MEDRS (Polish,German,Romanian,Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.
Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.
Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here [5]

((Recent changes in Anatomy))
Anatomical terminology is an essential component to all our articles. It is necessary to describe structures accurately and without ambiguity. It can also be extremely confusing and, let's face it, it's likely you too were confused too before you knew what was going on ("It's all Greek to me!" you may have said, fairly accurately).
In the opinion of this editor, it's very important that we try hard to describe anatomy in a way that is both technically accurate and accessible. The majority of our readers are lay readers and will not be fluent in terminology. Anatomy is a thoroughly interesting discipline, but it shouldn't be 'locked away' only to those who are fluent in the lingo – exploring anatomy should not be limited by education, technical-level English fluency, or unfamiliarity with its jargon. Anatomical terminology is one barrier to anatomical literacy.
Here are four ways that we can help improve the readability of our anatomical articles.
