anti turkism
YOU accused me of anti-turkism but I can't even find the text you are talking about as you didn't reference it properly??? WTF areyou talking about??? Capricornis (talk)
- Right back at you, Capricornis :) what are YOU talking about? I have never accused anyone of anti-turkism and have no earthly idea what you're talking about. Wikipelli Talk 16:16, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
Hey
Hey thanks for your message.
I've been managing the page, since it's not referenced properly, I was wondering to set up a new page with Wikipedia rules to avoid the few sections coming up unnecessarily above if you see in the page.
Thanks and Regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.88.244.171 (talk) 15:46, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

libellous information continually posted
Hello there,
I have only just started using Wikipedia and so do not fully understand how it all works so please accept my apologies for not having read your message earlier. I certainly don't want to be blocked due to the very frustrating situation I am in!
Somebody is posting libellous and defamatory information on the Sister Sledge and Kathy Sledge Wikipedia pages (involving a court case between the two parties). The outlined information has not been proved in any way and details of the case have not been released to the public. This is the reason why I have made repeated edits. I am extremely concerned that the aforementioned info is slanderous, not in any way neutral and could be very damaging if left unchecked. Please let me know what my next step should be. The info is back on Kathy's page but needs to be removed as soon as possible. I am also concerned that the user (named 'TruthAllWays') will post the information back up on the Sister Sledge page again (for the seventh time). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiWatch14 (talk • contribs) 23:42, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Supposed revision on Cisco systems
Hi WIkiPell You messaged me that I had posted an addition to the page on Cisco systems which you had reverted. I have checked the post - never having accessed the wiki Cisco and the post is rubbish and I confirm it was not me. Presumably Ihave been cloned/impersonated thanks O R D
- Well, perhaps not you personally, but someone at your IP address did here[1]. If you want to avoid this in the future - especially if you use a computer that is shared by many people, you might want to create an account. Wikipelli Talk 18:27, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

You've made a mistake
"Hello, I'm Wikipelli. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Victor Cui, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Wikipelli Talk 19:11, 6 February 2014 (UTC)"
This is completely false I have never once made an edit to a Wikipedia article yet you accuse me of vandalism. You've either accidentally posted on the wrong talk page or my IP address has been hacked. If it has been hacked how would I be able to make a formal complaint to Wikipedia? A website of this size should not have such shoddy security. Or perhaps your own account has been hacked and someone is using it to post harassing and accusatory messages on innocent Wikipedia users' talk pages.
31.48.124.120 (talk) 00:38, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
- Hello! And thank you for your message! It's curious that you included the message that I left on your talk page. It quite clearly shows that I did not accuse you of anything. What it says is that your edit, "...didn't appear constructive to me.. ". And, if you look at the edit in question, it certainly was not constructive. But, there are no accusations or suggestions of malicious intent of any sort here.
- The edit in question was made by someone at the same IP address as the one you used to post this message. I can't say if this is your IP address or it is a dynamic address or one that is perhaps on a public computer. If your IP has been hacked, I don't believe a formal complaint against Wikipedia would do you much good. Certainly Wikipedia can't be held responsible for someone hacking your IP. I have reviewed my edits for the time period in question and feel quite confident that my account was not hacked.
- However, I don't believe that the 1 message (quoted above) can reasonably be considered 'harassing' or 'accusatory' in any way. On the contrary, I believe that it is pleasant, non-threatening, clear in the intent, allows for the possibility of mistakes, and, really, a nice little note that says, "Hey, I saw something that was posted and I don't think it was constructive so I took it off". Harassing? I think not. Wikipelli Talk 13:48, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

- Show the Internet who is the better editor.
- Be the creator of culture that you know you are.

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon
The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.
If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.
When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Why did you change my update to the yellow wikia page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmansmoothe (talk • contribs) 18:50, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Well, I'm a little surprised you're asking, but you changed the title of a color infobox from Yellow (the subject of the article) to "Black Like Me" which is, well, NOT what the article or infobox is about. Not productive. Is there a reason that you think your change was valid? Wikipelli Talk 19:30, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Bacula article
Hello,
I'm sending you a message because you posted on KernSibbald's talk page in April regarding edit warring that took place on the Bacula article in April.
I am fairly new to Wikipedia editing. I just created an account because I read the Bacula article and saw that Kern was engaging in behaviour that seemed similar to censorship. I am not related to either Bacula or Bareos, I just want the Bacula article to have accurate and up-to-date information.
Recently Kern reverted the information I added. I was wondering, as a more experienced Wikipedia editor, if you could look into his behaviour regarding the Bacula article and make a decision about what, if any, disciplinary action should be taken over his continual reverting of information.

Museum hacks and museum edits
Hello there!
Upcoming events:
- February 6–8: The third annual ArtBytes Hackathon at the Walters Art Museum! This year Wikimedia DC is partnering with the Walters for a hack-a-thon at the intersection of art and technology, and I would like to see Wikimedia well represented.
- February 11: The monthly WikiSalon, same place as usual. RSVP on Meetup or just show up!
- February 15: Wiki Loves Small Museums in Ocean City. Mary Mark Ockerbloom, with support from Wikimedia DC, will be leading a workshop at the Small Museum Association Conference on how they can contribute to Wikipedia. Tons of representatives from GLAM institutions will be present, and we are looking for volunteers. If you would like to help out, check out "Information for Volunteers".
I am also pleased to announce events for Wikimedia DC Black History Month with Howard University and NPR. Details on those events soon.
If you have any questions or have any requests, please email me at james.hare

See you there! – James Hare

Wikimedia DC celebrates Black History Month, and more!
Hello again!
Not even a week ago I sent out a message talking about upcoming events in DC. Guess what? There are more events coming up in February.
First, as a reminder, there is a WikiSalon on February 11 (RSVP here or just show up) and Wiki Loves Small Museums at the Small Museum Association Conference on February 15 (more information here).
Now, I am very pleased to announce:
- Tuesday, February 17 from 10 AM to 3 PM there will be #WikiTurgy at the University of Maryland. Join fellow theatre enthusiasts for a “mass act of public dramaturgy!”
- Thursday, February 19 from 10 AM to 4 PM we are hosting the Howard University Black History Edit-a-Thon. We are working in partnership with the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center to improve Wikipedia’s coverage of African-American and African diasporic history.
- Tuesday, February 24 from 6 PM to 8 PM we have the Black History Month “First Edit” at NPR. Help improve Wikipedia and help others make their first edit to Wikipedia!
- Finally, our monthly dinner meetup is on Saturday, February 28.
There is going to be a lot going on, and I hope you can come to some of the events!
If you have any questions or need any special accommodations, please let me know.
Regards,
