Any idea where I can put the "Wikipedia Organisational Chart" where it might get some attention? Maybe Wikipedia:Organisational Chart? --Surturz (talk) 17:01, 10 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

National Archives ExtravaSCANza

edit
You are invited to the National Archives ExtravaSCANza, taking place every day next week from January 4–7, Wednesday to Saturday, in College Park, Maryland (Washington, DC metro area). Come help me cap off my stint as Wikipedian in Residence at the National Archives with one last success!

This will be a casual working event in which Wikipedians are getting together to scan interesting documents at the National Archives related to a different theme each day—currently: spaceflight, women's suffrage, Chile, and battleships—for use on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions1 as possible can come. Please join us!

1 Wikipedians from DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York City, and Pittsburgh have been invited.

Fexlom

edit

Hi Lazulilasher. Thank you for taking swift action in regard to vandalizing user Fexlom. Since that user is still editing his talk page (declaring himself as senior and master IV editor) I assume the block excluded his talk page. I had restored his older talk page history in order to show his disruptive edit history in full, but he is now blanking the page. Well, it's his talk page so he may do so, if he wants to. I doubt, however, that the 12 hour block will help much to change his behaviour. Thanks and greetings. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 15:41, 31 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi Matthiaspaul. Yeah, I'm a softie for the time limits. I ran across him swapping the elemental symbols for Gold and Silver. I detest this sort of vandalism, as it can be difficult to track down. Anyway, I always start with short blocks. If the editor returns and continues vandalism then longer blocks may be necessary. About the talk page, well, I don't mind so much if he edits his talk page, unless the edits become profane or offensive (vandalism.) Thanks for letting my know, and do update if he continues to be a problem. Lazulilasher (talk) 16:34, 31 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
It worked better than expected, but not long enough. User Fexlom is at it again... --Matthiaspaul (talk) 09:37, 4 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Given their edit patterns it seems Fexlom and User 88.113.8.119 are one and the same, although this would still need verification. At least, they were both edit-warring with another IP in the Just cause 2 article. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 11:18, 4 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Main page appearance: Ernest Shackleton

edit

This is a note to let the main editors of Ernest Shackleton know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on March 17, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/March 17, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Ernest Shackleton (1874–1922) was an Anglo-Irish polar explorer, one of the principal figures of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. His first experience of the polar regions was as third officer on Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s Discovery Expedition, 1901–04, from which he was sent home early on health grounds. Determined to make amends for this perceived personal failure, he returned to Antarctica in 1907 as leader of the Nimrod Expedition. In January 1909 he and three companions made a southern march which established a record Farthest South latitude at 88° 23′ S, 190 km from the South Pole. For this achievement, Shackleton was knighted by King Edward VII on his return home. After the race to the South Pole ended in 1912 with Roald Amundsen's conquest, Shackleton turned his attention to what he said was the one remaining great object of Antarctic journeying—the crossing of the continent from sea to sea, via the pole. To this end he made preparations for what became the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1914–17. Disaster struck this expedition when its ship, Endurance, became trapped in pack ice and was slowly crushed before the shore parties could be landed. There followed a sequence of exploits, and an ultimate escape with no lives lost, that would eventually assure Shackleton's heroic status. (more...)
