Happy First Edit Day, Journalist, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day! :) LovelyEdit talkedits 19:28, 15 May 2013 (UTC) [reply]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

Hey, Journalist. I'd like to wish you a wonderful First Edit Day on behalf of the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day! CommanderWaterford (talk) 07:03, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Journalist,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more. ​

Best regards, Chris Troutman (talk) 20:19, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Sportsfan77777 -- Sportsfan77777 (talk) 21:40, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Hi! This is a long shot, but I wonder if you can help. 15 years ago you made this edit that stated that May Pen was established as a plantation settlement by the British between 1660 and 1683. Do you have any recollection of the source you used for that? On Talk:May Pen we're trying to determine whether it was a pen (Jamaican cattle farm) before it was named after Rev. William May who was there in the 1700s.  —SMALLJIM  13:30, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, User:Smalljim! I can't remember the source that I used (also can't believe it's been 15 years! lol). But I did a quick Google search and was able to find this article (pg 6). Not sure of the origin of the name "May Pen" per se, but the article mentions the establishment of a plantation settlement by the British in the 1600s. Hope this helps. I'll keep looking and let you know if I find anything else. Cheers! Journalist . talk 23:10, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help, that's great! There's one niggle - since that document was published in 2012 and it uses the exact same words that were in our article at the time (and the words around it are similar too) one has to consider whether the UN copied the text from Wikipedia. Would they do that, I wonder? It's surprising where our words can turn up! I tried the internet archive wayback machine to see if they'd stored an earlier version of the document, but no luck. Best,  —SMALLJIM  23:56, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's possible that they may have gotten it from Wikipedia. Never thought of that! I'm sure I found it somewhere, so I'll keep looking and let you know if/when I find anything. Journalist . talk 04:03, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Laureus World Sports Award for Sportswoman of the Year, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Athletics. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
