Pune Neighbourhoods

Yes there are some discrepancies in list. I am not sure about Dhankawdi, Katraj areas, I have not visited those areas, so you can change the those at your will. Also I agree that sinhgadh road should not come in kothrud, but then where does it go? Bawdhan is (maybe) wrongly mentioned in Aundh area, I think we can shift it in kothrud. About 8 sections, well If you feel they should be renamed, then come up with list here, and we can publish it once all interested users agree to it. spacejuncky 11:35, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption

I've been around here for a while, and I noticed you had the adopt thing on your userpage. If you would like for me to adopt you, please drop me a note on my talk page, thanks! Cheers, JetLover (talk) 05:34, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted the offer of adoption made by User:Holmes.sherlock as this user needs help himself making productive contributions. --NeilN 07:26, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption

Hi, I've offered to adopt you as part of Wikipedia's Adoption Program. If you choose to accept, please say so on my Talk Page. Luksuh 07:33, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption template

Hi. I see that a couple of users have offered you adoption, so I've removed the adoption request template from your userpage. If you should want to be adopted by a different user, you may feel free to replace the {{subst:dated adoptme}} on your userpage. Have a nice day. --Sopoforic 21:49, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

About merging pages, what you do is put {{merge|article you want to merge with}} on the page. To re-name a page, click "move" which is next to the edit button. Then type in what you want to chenge the title to. Cheers, JetLover (talk) 19:18, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gudhi Padva

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Gudhi Padva, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Gudhi Padva.

AMNH tour

We need to get a preliminary head-count for the AMNH tour happening before the meet-up. If you think you would like to go, please sign up at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC#AMHN tour sign-up. Thanks! ScienceApologist (talk) 02:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vote for a post-meetup restaurant

I'm charged with making the reservations for us, so let's make it official. We'll do this via voting and everyone including anonymous voters, sockpuppets, and canvassed supporters is enfranchised. Voting irregularities and election fraud are encouraged as that would be really amusing in this instance. Please vote for whichever restaurant you would like to eat at given the information provided above and your own personal prejudices at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC#Let's make it official. The prevailing restaurant will be called first for the reservation. If a reservation cannot be obtained at the winning restaurant, the runner-up restaurant will be called thus making this entire process pointless. Voting ends 24 hours after this timestamp (because I said so). ScienceApologist (talk) 17:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sunday July 30: Action=History Wiki-Hackathon @ Ace Hotel

On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at Ace Hotel New York hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics, practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. This is an opportunity for all to gather, share and work collectively towards a more robust account of history.

For this month, we'll focus on Wikipedia casual editing, ways to use and develop Wikidata, building better edit-a-thon tools for a variety of different thematic campaigns, and user-testing them with the community. Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.

  • Date: Sunday July 30
  • Time: 2:00 am - 6:00 pm
  • Location: Ace Hotel New York. 20 West 29th Street, Manhattan.

Metropolitan Museum of Art Edit-a-thon (Nov 19) and global online Wikipedia Asian Art Month (Nov 1-30)

Sunday November 19, 10:30 am - 4:00pm: Metropolitan Museum of Art Edit-a-thon

Following the first Met edit-a-thon in May 2017, the museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely.

10:30 am - 4:00 pm in Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Uris Center for Education
81st Street entrance, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue

Attendees should bring their own laptops and power cords. Light snacks, drinks and cake will be provided.

We also welcome remote participation for the global online Wikipedia Asian Art Month, running November 1-30.

Thanks, and hope to see you at the museum, and/or as part of the online Wikipedia Asian Month contest!--Pharos (talk) 16:36, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
