Babel and red link
[edit]Hiho :)
I didn't like the red link and on Commons everyone should have a babel box. Please amend as needed :). Cheers, notafish }<';> 10:03, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Michael. I've been working on issues regarding sexuality (including legal aspects) since November of '09. I would like to invite you to participate in the ongoing discussions on the new proposal. I understand that the Board wishes to allow the community to set standards, however there's a growing frustration at the lack of involvement from the Board and the legal department and progress toward final approval has been halted because of this. - Stillwaterising (talk) 06:01, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Interwiki collaboration
[edit]Hi. The Commons and other projects (Wikibooks, Wikiversity), etc. could use more help.
Please see:
- mw:Project:WikiProject Interwiki Integration
- en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Cross-wiki collaboration
I noticed you write and design online courses. So you might be interested in integrated watchlists and other ways to implement cross-wiki collaboration by many more editors. Editors who could help out at editing tutorials and courses, etc.. --Timeshifter (talk) 21:28, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Autopatrol given
[edit]
Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. Jianhui67 T★C 14:43, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
Categorization
[edit]Hello Michael Snow, noticing your edit, I was wondering why. If a category is linked to Wikidata like here, that goes automatically. Of did I get this wrong? Cheers. Lotje (talk) 10:15, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
- I've been trying to remember to use the Wikidata infoboxes, but I'm not entirely familiar with the extent of the automation. The information still has to be in Wikidata, of course, which may not always be the case, and in this case the birth year was wrong, so I went and fixed it there as well. --Michael Snow (talk) 22:25, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
